it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such

certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such
denominations as may be requested by such Holder, plus, in lieu of any
fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to
