Major Transactions. If, at any time after the Issue Date, any Major Transaction shall occur, then the Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable, such shares of publicly traded stock, securities and/or other property as would have been issued or payable upon such Major Transaction with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been issuable upon exercise had such Major Transaction not taken place (without giving effect to any limitations on such exercise contained in this Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following a Major Transaction in which all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company is exchanged for, converted into, acquired for or constitutes the right to receive solely cash (a “Triggering Event”), at the written request of the Holder delivered before the 30th day after such Triggering Event, the Company (or the successor entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five days after such request, cash in an amount equal to the Black-Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant. “Black-Scholes Value” means the value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model determined as of the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Triggering Event and reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of such request and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the lesser of (a) the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg or (b) a volatility of 60. The Company shall not effect any Major Transaction unless (i) the Holder has received written notice of such transaction at least thirty (30) days prior thereto (which period shall be increased to sixty one (61) days if, at such time, without giving effect to the limitation on exercise contained in Section 4 hereof, the Holder would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Common Stock then outstanding, and the Holder has notified the Company in writing of such circumstance) but in no event later than fifteen (15) days prior to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall publicly disclose the material terms of any such Major Transaction on or before the date on which it delivers notice of a Major Transaction to the Holder, and (ii) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonable satisfactory to the Holder) the obligations of the Company under this Warrant. The above provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not there would have been a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant as of the date of such transaction, and shall similarly apply to successive Major Transactions.
