This Warrant is one of the warrants to purchase Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants,” such term to include any warrants issued in substitution therefor) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the holders of the Warrants shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Holders.” The Warrants evidence rights to purchase an aggregate of 192,307,692 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein and therein. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein, either within the text in which it first appears or in Section 5.17, shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Section 1. Exercise of Warrant

1.1. Manner of Exercise; Net Exercise.

(a) Exercise

The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part (except as to a fractional share), at any time and from time to time during normal business hours on any Business Day on or after the date hereof and on or prior to the Expiration Date, by (i) delivering to the Company a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), duly executed by the Holder, specifying the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised, (ii) surrendering this Warrant to the Company, properly endorsed by the Holder (or if this Warrant has been destroyed, stolen or has otherwise been misplaced, by delivering to the Company an affidavit of loss duly executed by the Holder), and (iii) by tendering payment for the shares of Common Stock designated by the Exercise Notice in lawful money of the United States in the form of cash, bank or certified check made payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by the cancellation of Indebtedness of the Company owed to the Holder, or in any combination thereof, of an amount equal to the product of (A) the Warrant Price and (B) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised.

(b) Net Exercise

The Holder may, in lieu of exercising or converting this Warrant pursuant to the terms of Section 1.1(a), elect to net exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part (except as to a fractional share), at any time and from time to time during normal business hours on any Business Day on or after the date hereof and on or prior to the Expiration Date by (i) delivering to the Company a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Net Exercise Notice”), duly executed by the Holder, specifying the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is being net exercised, and (ii) surrendering this Warrant to the Company, properly endorsed by the Holder (or if this Warrant has been destroyed, stolen or has otherwise been misplaced, by delivering to the Company an affidavit of loss duly executed by the Holder), and the Holder shall thereupon been entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, issuable upon the exercise of such portion) for cash, determined as provided in Section 2, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at the time of such exercise minus the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such exercise, and the denominator of which is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at the time of such exercise, such number of shares so issuable upon such net exercise to be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.

(c) The “net exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1(b) is intended to qualify as a recapitalization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(d) For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 1.1), any reference herein to the “exercise” of this Warrant shall be deemed to include a reference to the net exercise of this Warrant into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1(b), and any reference to an “Exercise Notice” shall be deemed to include a reference to a Net Exercise in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1(b).

1.2. When Exercise Effective

Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall be deemed to have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1.1, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.3 shall be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record thereof.

1.3. Delivery of Stock Certificates Upon Exercise As soon as practicable after exercise of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 1, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such exercise, the Company shall at its expense cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or, subject to Section 5 of this Warrant, as the Holder may direct: (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares, determined as provided in Section 2 of this Warrant, to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise and, (b) unless this Warrant has expired or has been exercised in full, a new Warrant (or Warrants) substantially in the form of, and on the terms in, this Warrant, for the number of Warrant Shares remaining following such exercise, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided for in this Warrant as of the date hereof.

Section 2. Adjustments to Warrant Price and Warrant Shares

(a) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock

If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise), then the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately increased, and, conversely, if the Company shall at any time after the date hereof combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares (by any reverse stock split or otherwise), then the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately reduced.

(b) Reorganization or Reclassification

If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company other than a transaction described in Section 2(d) below shall be effected in such a way that Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereupon have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full, as the case may be, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock immediately theretofore receivable upon such exercise of this Warrant in full had such reorganization or reclassification not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such conversion rights.

If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof makes or issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of Holders of capital stock of the Company entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in:

(i) securities or other property of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities then the Holder shall receive such dividend or distribution as if the Holders had exercised all of the Warrants in full on the date such record is taken; and

(ii) Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately increased.

(d) Adjustment for Merger or Consolidation, etc.; Fundamental Change. In the event that the Company shall effect any change of control, merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (or other legal entity), or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation (or other legal entity) (a “Fundamental Change”), this Warrant shall be exchanged for the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash, if applicable) to which a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full would have been entitled upon such Fundamental Change (and any distribution of assets to stockholders following such Fundamental Change).

(e) Record Date.

If the Company takes a record of the Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

Section 3. Covenants of the Company

3.1. The Company covenants and agrees that:

(a) all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been duly authorized, and shall, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;

(c) if any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved to provide for the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental or self-regulatory authority under any federal or state law or stock exchange rule before such shares may be validly issued, then it shall in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be;

(d) it shall comply with the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will comply with all other public information reporting requirements the Securities and Exchange Commission (including Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) from time to time in effect and relating to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any restricted securities; and

(e) it shall not, by amendment to its certificate of incorporation (whether by way of merger, operation of law, or otherwise) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, agreement or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company and shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holders against impairment as if the Holder was a stockholder of the Company entitled to the benefit of fiduciary duties afforded to stockholders under Delaware law.
