Common Stock Warrants

40,
Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in an Entity
'
s own Equity
. The conditions within ASC
815
-
40
are
not
subject to a probability assessment. The warrants do
not
fall under the liability criteria within ASC

not
puttable and do
not
represent an instrument that has a redeemable underlying security. The warrants do meet the definition of a derivative instrument under ASC
