equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt,
preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during
its
life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such
offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a

Placement”).”
D.
Sections
13(d)
and
13(h) of each of the Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD state, in relevant
part, the following (the “COD Share Limitation”):
“(13) Protective
Provisions.
So long
as the Investor holds at least 25% of the Preferred Shares issued on the Initial
Issuance Date, in addition to any other rights provided by law, except where
the
vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required
by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without
first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose
or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting
together as a single class, the Company shall not:
(d) issue
any
shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other equity
securities to independent third parties (e.g., investment banks, investor
relations firms, consultants that are not affiliates of the Company) in excess
of 2% of the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial
Issuance Date;
*****
(h) issue
any
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock
at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Purchase Price (as defined
in
the Securities Purchase Agreement) (as adjusted from time to time to reflect
stock slits, stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations and
other similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock);…”
E. The
Company is seeking to effect a financing (the “Financing”) with Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx,
the Xxxxxxx Stockholders and Xxxx (collectively, the “STAR Note Holders”) on
substantially the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheets annexed
hereto as Exhibit A;
F.
The
Company requires a waiver under the Purchase
Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation in order to consummate
the
Financing;
G. As
more
particularly described below, the Company is in default (or a Triggering Event
(as such term is defined in the Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD) has
occurred) under the terms of (i) the Xxxxxx Purchase Agreement and the Aisling
Purchase Agreement; (ii) the Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD; and (iii)
the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 15, 2006, as amended by the
Amendment No. 1, dated September 11, 2006, among the Company, Xxxxxx and Aisling
(the “Registration Rights Agreement”);
2
H.
The
Company has requested that Xxxxxx and Aisling waive their rights arising out
of
such defaults, which are continuing;
I. As
of the
date hereof, the Xxxxxxx Stockholders own or have the power and authority to
vote with respect to collectively 35,686,738 shares of Common Stock, which
represent in the aggregate approximately 45.2% of the total issued and
outstanding voting capital stock of the Company (“Shares”);
J. As
a
condition to the willingness of Xxxxxx and Aisling to enter into this Agreement,
to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing
and
to waive the Existing Defaults (as defined below), Xxxxxx and Aisling have
required that the Xxxxxxx Stockholders enter into certain voting agreements
as
contemplated hereby and that the Company exchange the Series B-1 Stock and
Series C-1 Stock for new shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock,
and
exchange the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants for New Warrants (as defined
below);
K. The
exchange of the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants for New Warrants, and the
exchange of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for new shares of Series
D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, are being made in reliance upon the exemption
from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended; and
L.
To
the
extent set forth herein, Xxxxxx and Aisling desire to waive their rights under
the Purchase
Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation
with
respect to the Financing in exchange for agreements set forth herein.
NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Section
1. Waiver.
(a) Notwithstanding
the limitations set forth in the Purchase
Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation, Xxxxxx and
Aisling,
the
owners of all of the outstanding shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1
Stock
and constituting the “Required Holders,” as such term is defined the Series B-1
COD and Series C-1 COD, hereby consent to the Financing and waive the
application of the Purchase
Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation with respect to the
Financing, and such other limitations as may affect the Financing which are
contained in the Series B-1 COD, the Series C-1 COD, the Xxxxxx Purchase
Agreement and the Aisling Purchase Agreement,
solely
with respect to the Financing (the “Financing Consent”).
(b) Each
of
Xxxxxx and Aisling hereby waive the Existing Defaults (the “Default Waiver” and,
together with the Financing Consent, the “Consent and Waiver”). “Existing
Defaults” shall mean the following defaults and Triggering Events under each of
(i) the Xxxxxx Purchase Agreement and the Aisling Purchase Agreement; (ii)
the
Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD; and (iii) the Registration Rights
Agreement: (A) the failure of the Company to timely file with the Securities
and
Exchange Commission (and deliver to Xxxxxx and Aisling) its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007; and (B) the failure of the Company
to prevent the suspension of trading of its Common Stock on the American Stock
Exchange as a result of (A). This Consent and Waiver shall be limited to those
matters described herein, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other breach
or default occurring hereafter.
3
(c) As
a
condition to the effectiveness of the Consent and Waiver, the Board of Directors
of the Company shall have passed a resolution substantially in the following
form:
“RESOLVED,
that all securities to be issued from and after the date hereof to Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxx, or any other person or entity that, at the time of such issuance,
has a
representative on the Board of Directors of the Company, including, without
limitation, all securities issued pursuant to the Series B-1 COD, the Series
C-1
COD, the Certificate of Designations, the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants,
the New Warrants, and any other securities to be issued by the Company to any
such person or entity, shall be made in accordance with, and shall be subject
to
the exemptions contained in, Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.”
Section

of Series B-1 Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred and Warrants.
(a)
Information

In
connection with this Agreement, the holders of a majority of the Company’s
capital stock entitled to vote have executed a written consent in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B approving the issuance of all of the securities
contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing in accordance with applicable
law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange (the
“Stockholder Approval”). The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but no later
than November 21, 2007, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an
Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”), which has
been previously reviewed by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and counsel of their choice, setting
forth information regarding the Stockholder Approval. As soon as practicable
thereafter, but no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than February
28,
2008, the Company shall provide each stockholder of the Company the Information
Statement in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of
the
American Stock Exchange; provided, however, that in the event of a review by
the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Information Statement which
shall not be concluded by February 15, 2008, the Company shall provide each
stockholder of the Company the Information Statement in accordance with
applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange
within ten (10) business days of clearing comments received from the SEC. The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to address any SEC comments on
the
Information Statement and to mail the Information Statement as soon as
practicable.
(b) Stockholder
Meeting.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(a), in the event that,
under applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock
Exchange, the stockholders of the Company are unable to act by written consent,
the Company shall, as soon as practicable, but no earlier than January 18,
2008
and no later than January 31, 2008, provide each stockholder entitled to vote
at
a special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder
Meeting”), which initially shall be promptly called and held not later than
February 28, 2008 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement,
soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting
for approval of the resolutions set forth in the Stockholder Approval, and
the
Company shall solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and cause
its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such
resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain the Stockholder
Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s
reasonable best efforts, the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior
to
the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional
Stockholder Meeting to be held every three (3) months thereafter until such
Stockholder Approval is obtained.
4
(c)
Filing
of Certificate of Designations; Reservation of Shares.
The
Board
of Directors of the Company has authorized a new series of convertible preferred
stock of the Company designated as Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock,
the
terms of which are set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences
and
Rights of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the
“Certificate of Designations”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the
“Series D-1 Stock”), which Series D-1 Stock shall be convertible into the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), in
accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Promptly upon
obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Company shall file the Certificate
of
Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance
with applicable law. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly
authorized shares of Common Stock as may be required to fulfill its obligations
in full under the Financing and upon conversion of the D-1 Stock and exercise
of
the New Warrants (as defined below).
(d) Exchange
of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock.
As soon
as practicable after the Stockholder Approval, in consideration of the Consent
and Waiver, the Company shall issue the Series D-1 Stock to Aisling and Xxxxxx
in exchange for the shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock. Each share
of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock shall be exchanged for 1.04125 shares
of Series D-1 Stock.
(e) Exchange
of Warrants.
As soon
as practicable, in consideration of the Consent and Waiver, the Company shall

exercise price of $0.95 per share and shall be exercisable for 2,281,914 shares
of common stock.
(f) Waiver
of Dividends.
In
consideration of the agreements set forth herein, Aisling and Xxxxxx waive
their
right to receive dividends on the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for
the
quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007.

(in
the case of a Cashless Exercise, as defined in the New Warrants)) and (ii)
the
Series D-1 Stock (and the shares for which the Series D-1 Stock is convertible)

Stock, and the Company agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section
2(g). The Company’s acknowledgement and agreement set forth in this Section 2(g)
shall be subject in all respect to Rule 144 and other applicable securities
laws, as may be in effect from time to time.

Section
5. Certain
Transfer Restrictions with Respect to Xxxxxxx Stockholders; Tag Along
Rights.
(a)
Securities
Notice.
If any
Xxxxxxx Stockholder proposes to Transfer (as defined in Section 5(d) below)
any
shares of capital stock of the Company (“Shares”) held by it (each a “Selling
Stockholder” and, together with any other Selling Stockholder(s), the “Selling
Stockholders”) to a third party purchaser (the “Third Party Purchaser”) other
than as otherwise agreed by both Xxxxxx and Aisling in writing prior to such
Transfer and other than any Exempt Transfer (as defined in Section 5(d) below),
the Selling Stockholders shall, no less than twenty (20) business days prior
to
the consummation of such Transfer, send written notice (an “Offering Notice”) to
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxx, which shall state (a) the identity of the Third Party
Purchaser; (b) the type and number of such securities proposed to be transferred
(the “Offered Securities”), including detailed terms of such securities (if
other than Common Stock); (c) the proposed purchase price per share for the
Offered Securities (the “Offer Price”); and (d) the terms and conditions of such
sale. The Selling Stockholders hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement, they shall not, at any time, sell or otherwise
transfer in the aggregate more than 12 million of the Shares in a conveyance
or
conveyances that are not Exempt Transfers without the prior approval of the
Company’s Board of Directors.
(b)
Tag-Along
Right.
If a
Selling Stockholder is directly or indirectly transferring Offered Securities
to
a Third Party Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(a), then each of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx
and Xxxx shall have the right to sell to such Third Party Purchaser that number
of shares equal to that percentage of the Offered Securities determined by
dividing (i) the total number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock of
the
Company (on an as converted basis) then owned by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx or Xxxx, as
the
case may be, by (ii) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock
(on an as-converted basis) then owned by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxx and (y) the
total number of Shares then owned by the Selling Stockholders, in the aggregate,
at a price equal to the Offer Price, with other terms set forth in the Offering
Notice. The Selling Stockholders and Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxx shall effect
the
sale of the Offered Securities and Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxx shall sell the
number of Offered Securities to be sold by them pursuant to this Section 5,
and
the number of Offered Securities to be sold to such Third Party Purchaser by
the
Selling Stockholder(s) shall be reduced accordingly.
7
(c)
Timing.
The
tag-along rights provided by this Section 5 must be exercised by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx
and Xxxx within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of the Offering
Notice, by delivery of a written notice to PS indicating Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx or
Xxxx’x election to exercise his or its rights and specifying the number of
shares (up to the maximum number of shares owned by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx or Xxxx
required to be purchased by such Third Party Purchaser) each of them elects
to
sell (the “Tag-along Exercise Notice”), provided that Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx or Xxxx
may waive its rights under this Section prior to the expiration of such fifteen
(15) business day period by giving written notice to PS. The failure of Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxx or Xxxx to respond within such fifteen (15) business day period shall
be
deemed to be a waiver of their rights under this Section and such proposed
Transfer of Shares will be classified as an Exempt Transfer.
(d)
Exempt
Transfers.
The
tag-along rights set forth in this Section 5 shall not apply to (i) any transfer
to a Permitted Holder (as defined below); provided that any such Permitted
Holder agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and, if appropriate,
the
Proxy, in place of the relevant transferor, in an agreement in form satisfactory
to counsel to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxx; or (ii) the sale in an unsolicited
broker’s transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Exempt Transfers”). “Transfer” shall mean a sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposal of, mortgage, entering into any
voting trust or other agreement, option or other arrangement or understanding
with respect to Shares, whether directly or indirectly and whether voluntarily
or involuntarily. “Permitted Holders” means Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx, and their respective estates, spouses, ancestors and lineal
descendants, the legal representatives of any of the foregoing and the trustees
of any bona fide trusts of which the foregoing are the sole beneficiaries or
the
grantors, or any entity of which the foregoing “beneficially owns” (as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), individually or collectively with any
of
the foregoing, at least 51% of the total voting power of the voting stock of
such entity.
(e) Prohibited
Transfers.
Any
Transfer of Shares not made in conformance with this Agreement shall be null
and
void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be
recognized by the Company.
(f) Termination.
The
provisions of this Section 5 shall terminate as to Aisling or Xxxxxx on such
date that such party holds less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the number
of
shares of Series D-1 Stock issued to it pursuant to this Agreement (or shares
into which such Series D-1 Stock have converted, or if such Offered Securities
are offered prior to the exchange of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock
for Series D-1 Stock, the number of shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1
Stock, respectively) (the “Minimum Percentage”). The provisions of this Section
5 shall terminate as to Xxxx on such date that he holds less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the original principal amount of the Company’s Secured
Convertible 12% Notes issued to him in connection with the Financing (or shares
into which such convertible notes have converted).
8
Section
6. Board
Representation.
So
long
as Aisling holds the Minimum Percentage of Series D-1 Stock (or shares into
which such shares of Series D-1 Stock have converted), Aisling shall have the
right to nominate one individual to serve as a director on the Company’s Board
of Directors. Aisling shall have the right to appoint such individual or to
waive its right to appoint such individual at any time. Xxxxxx, XX and the
Xxxxxxx Stockholders agree to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned
by
them, or over which they have voting control, from time to time and at all
times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual
or
special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or
pursuant to any written consent of stockholders, Aisling’s nominee, if any,
shall be elected to the Board.

7. Miscellaneous.

certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section
7(f) and/or the failure by the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of
the
Proxy and this Agreement, shall not affect the validity or enforcement of the
Proxy or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall cause
the legend set forth in this Section 7(f) to be removed promptly upon request

the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature

3.4 Mechanics
of Conversion. The conversion of Preferred Shares shall be conducted in the
following manner:
(a) Holder's
Delivery Requirements.
To
convert Preferred Shares into Common Stock on any date (the "Conversion
Date"),
the
Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt
on or
prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on such date, a copy of a properly
completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the
Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit
I
(the
"Conversion
Notice")
to the
Company and the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer
Agent")
and
(B) if required by Section 2(d)(vii), surrender to a common carrier for delivery
to the Company as soon as practicable following such date the original
certificates representing the Preferred Shares being converted (or compliance
with the procedures set forth in Section 14) (the "Preferred
Share Certificates").
36
(b) Company's
Response.
Upon
receipt by the Company of copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall
as soon
as practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, send, via
facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder
and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction
to
the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the
terms herein. On or before the third (3rd)
Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion
Notice (the "Share
Delivery Date"),
the
Company shall (A) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository
Trust Company ("DTC")
DTC
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause the Transfer Agent to credit
such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall
be
entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through
its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (B) if the Transfer Agent
is not
participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause
the
Transfer Agent to issue and deliver to the address as specified in the
Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or
its
designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall
be
entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred
Share
Certificate(s) submitted for conversion, as may be required pursuant to Section
2(d)(vii), is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted,
then
the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three
(3)
Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) (the
"Preferred
Share Delivery Date")
and at
its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Share
Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted.
(c) Dispute
Resolution.
In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of the Closing Sale Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct
the
Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that
is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations
or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one (1) Business
Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion Notice or other date of
determination. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the
determination of the Closing Sale Price or arithmetic calculation of the
Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination
or
arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company
shall
within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination
of the Closing Sale Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected
by the Company and approved by the Required Holders or (B) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company's independent,
outside accountant. The Company shall cause, at the Company's expense, the
investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the
determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holders of
the
results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the
disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank's or accountant's
determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all
parties absent error.
37
(d) Miscellaneous;
Record Holder.
The
Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon a
conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder or holders of such Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(e) Company's
Failure to Timely Convert.
(i) Cash
Damages.
If (I)
within ten (10) calendar days after the Company's receipt of a Conversion
Notice
the Company shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue
and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of
Preferred Shares (a "Conversion
Failure")
or
(II) within ten (10) calendar days of the Company's receipt of a Preferred
Share
Certificate the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a new Preferred Share
Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares to which such Holder
is
entitled pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii), then in addition to all other available
remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Securities
Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to Section 9(k) thereof),
the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after
the
Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected and/or each
day
after the Preferred Share Delivery Date that such Preferred Share Certificate
is
not delivered in an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (I) the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior
to the
Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled as set forth in
the
applicable Conversion Notice and, in the event the Company has failed to
deliver
a Preferred Share Certificate to the Holder on or prior to the Preferred
Share
Delivery Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of
the Preferred Shares represented by such Preferred Share Certificate as of
the
Preferred Share Delivery Date and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the Share Delivery Date, in the case of the failure to deliver Common
Stock, or the Preferred Share Delivery Date, in the case of failure to deliver
a
Preferred Share Certificate. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages
set forth in this Section 2(d)(v) within five (5) Business Days of the date
incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right
at any
time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to
require
the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash
damages, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X)
the
aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y)
the
Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the Holder
in
the Conversion Notice. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3)
Business Days after the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company
shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Holder or credit such
Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock
to
which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Preferred
Shares,
and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by
the Holder of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder
anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
then
the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request
and
in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal
to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if
any)
for the Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In
Price"),
at
which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to
issue
such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation
to
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common
Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any)
of
the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common
Stock
times (B) the Closing Sale Price on the Conversion Date.
38
(ii) Void
Conversion Notice; Adjustment of Conversion Price.
If for
any reason a Holder has not received all of the Common Stock to which such
Holder is entitled prior to the fifth (5th)
Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of
Preferred Shares, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with
a
copy to the Transfer Agent, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to,
and
retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Preferred Shares that have
not
been converted pursuant to such Holder's Conversion Notice; provided that
the
voiding of a Holder's Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company's
obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of
such
notice pursuant to Section 2(d)(v)(A) or otherwise. Thereafter, the Conversion
Price of any Preferred Shares returned or retained by the Holder for failure
to
timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I) the Conversion Price
relating to the voided Conversion Notice and (II) the lowest Weighted Average
Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Conversion Date
and
ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion Notice, subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.
39
(f) Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes.
Subject
to Section 12, in the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from
more
than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert
some,
but not all, of such Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each
Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata
amount of such Holder's Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on
the
number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such
Holder
relative to the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such
date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares,
the
Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not
in
dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section
2(d)(iii).
(g) Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion
of
Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, any Holder thereof
shall
not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the
Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of
Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted or (B)
such
Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may
be
included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares
upon
physical surrender of any Preferred Shares. The Holders and the Company shall
maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted and
the
dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably
satisfactory to the Holders and the Company, so as not to require physical
surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares upon each
such
conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the
Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder
is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest
error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Preferred Shares represented by
a
certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the
certificate representing the Preferred Shares unless such Holder first
physically surrenders the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to
the
Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the
order
of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder
may
request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Preferred
Shares
represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance
of a
certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this
paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred
Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred
Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares
shall
bear the following legend:
40
Preferred
Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate
representing the Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will
forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate
of
like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate
the remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate. A
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of
any
Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate
may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof.
Each
certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:
ANY
TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE
COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 2(d)(vii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER
OF PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER
OF PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(d)(vii)
OF
THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED
BY
THIS CERTIFICATE.
3.5 Taxes.
The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in
respect of the registered holder thereof) and other similar taxes that may
be
payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon the
conversion of Preferred Shares.
3.6 Adjustments
to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from
time to time as provided in this Section 2(f).
(a) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.
If and
whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or
in
accordance with this Section 2(f) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common
Stock (including the issuance or sale of Common Stock owned or held by or for
the account of the Company but excluding Excluded Securities) for a
consideration per share (the "New
Securities Issuance Price")
less
than a price (the "Applicable
Price")
equal
to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such time (a
"Dilutive
Issuance"),
then
immediately after such issue or sale, the Conversion Price then in effect shall
be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the New Securities
Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under
this Section 2(f)(i), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance
of Options.
If the
Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per
share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such
Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(A), the
"lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal
to
the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting
or
sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange
or
exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.
No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
41
(ii) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such
conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 2(f)(i)(B), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise" shall be equal
to
the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance
or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or
exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion
Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any
such
issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any
Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be
made
pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(f)(i), no further adjustment
of
the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
42
(iii) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the
purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise
of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes
at
any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be
adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time
had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase
price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may
be,
at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section
2(f)(i)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares are changed
in
the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option
or
Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the
date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result
in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
(iv) Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
of
the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the fair market
value of such Options. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received
by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value
of
such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of such securities
during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt
of
such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or
securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders.
If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the
occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation
Event"),
the
fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10th)
day
following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected
by
the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall
be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
43
(v) Record
Date.
If the
Company takes a record of the holders of 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 will
be
deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the 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.
(b) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common
Stock.
If the
Company at any time after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any share split,
share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock
into
a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to
such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time
after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse share split or
otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionately increased.
(c) Other
Events.
If any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(f)
but
not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company's Board of
Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as
to
protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will
increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section
2(f).
(d) Notices.
(i) Immediately
upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 2(f),
the
Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder, setting forth in
reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute
shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
2(d)(iii).
44
(ii) The
Company will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business
Days
prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I)
with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with
respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III)
for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction
or
Liquidation Event, provided that such information shall be made known to the
public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such
Holder.
(iii) The
Company will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation
Event
will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the
public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such
Holder.
(e) Voluntary
Adjustment by Company.
The
Company may at any time, while any Series D-1 Preferred Shares are outstanding,
reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any price deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
ARTICLE
IV.Triggering
Event.
4.1 Triggering
Event. A "Triggering
Event"
shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following
events:
(a) the
Company's (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required
number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Trading Days after the
applicable Conversion Date or (B) notice, written or oral, to any Holder,
including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any
time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for conversion
of any Preferred Shares into Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with
the provisions of this Certificate of Designations;
(b) the
Company's failure to pay to the Holder any Dividends, Redemption Price, Change
of Control Redemption Price, or other amounts when and as due pursuant to this
Certificate of Designations or any other Transaction Document (as defined in
the
Securities Purchase Agreement);
(c) any
event
of default occurs with respect to any Indebtedness, including borrowings under
the Credit and Security Agreement dated as of February 9, 2006 (the
"Credit
Agreement")
with
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association ("Xxxxx
Fargo"),
under
which the obligee or obligees of such Indebtedness are entitled to and do
accelerate the maturity of at least an aggregate of $3,000,000 million in
outstanding Indebtedness; or
45
(d) the
Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or
condition herein or in any Transaction Document; provided, however, that (A)
in
the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition herein or in
any
Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach remains uncured
for a
period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days after the expiration
of
any applicable cure period and (B) in the case of any representation, warranty
or covenant which is not already so qualified, the breach of the representation,
warranty or covenant by the Company could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) on
the
Company or on the Holder.
4.2 Redemption
Option Upon Triggering Event. In addition to all other rights of the Holders
contained herein, after a Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right
to
require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Preferred Shares at a
price per Preferred Share equal to the greater of (x) the Conversion Amount
and
(y) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as such Holder
delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (as defined below) and
(B)
the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately
preceding such Triggering Event (the "Triggering
Redemption Price").
4.3 Mechanics
of Redemption at Option of Buyer.
(a) Within
one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of a qualifying Triggering Event,
the
Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier
("Notice
of Triggering Event")
to
each Holder.
(b) At
any
time after the earlier of a Holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event
and
such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any Holder of Preferred Shares
then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such Holder's
Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight courier ("Notice
of Redemption at Option of Holder")
to the
Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate the
number of Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem.
4.4 Payment
of Redemption Price. Upon the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption
at
Option of Buyer from any Holder, the Company shall immediately notify each
Holder by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such notice(s). The Company
shall deliver on the fifth (5th)
Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption
at
Option of Holder the applicable Redemption Price to all Holders that deliver
a
Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the fifth (5th)
Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption
at
Option of Holder; provided that, if required by Section 2(d)(vii), a Holder's
Preferred Share Certificates shall have been delivered to the Transfer Agent.
To
the extent redemptions required by this Section 3 are deemed or determined
by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by
the
Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the
Company is unable to redeem all of the Preferred Shares submitted for
redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder
based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by such Holder
relative to the total number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by
all
Holders and (ii) in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under this
Certificate of Designation and the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay to each
Holder interest at the rate of 3.0% per month (prorated for partial months)
in
respect of each unredeemed Preferred Share until paid in full. The Holders
and
Company agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any Preferred
Shares under this Section 3, the Holders' damages would be uncertain and
difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future
interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute
investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any redemption premium
due
under this Section 3 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed,
a
reasonable estimate of the Holders' actual loss of its investment opportunity
and not as a penalty.
46
4.5 Void
Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay the Redemption Price
within the time period set forth in Section 3(d), at any time thereafter and
until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Holder
shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly
return to such Holder any or all of the Preferred Shares that were submitted
for
redemption by such Holder under this Section 3 and for which the applicable
Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by
sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the "Void
Optional Redemption Notice").
Upon the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the
Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall be null and void with respect
to
those Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii)
the
Company shall immediately return any Preferred Shares subject to the Void
Optional Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned
Preferred Shares shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price
as
in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered
to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares
during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice of Redemption at
Option of Holder is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which
the
Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company.
4.6 Disputes;
Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the
arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved
pursuant to Section 2(d)(iii) above with the term "Redemption Price" being
substituted for the term "Conversion Rate". A Holder's delivery of a Void
Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice
shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have
accrued prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant
to this Section 3 of less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a
particular Preferred Share Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to
be
issued and delivered to the Holder of such Preferred Shares a Preferred Share
Certificate representing the remaining Preferred Shares which have not been
redeemed, if necessary.

V.Other
Rights of Holders.
5.1 Assumption.
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless
the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company
under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents
in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a) pursuant to written
agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and
approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
including agreements to deliver to each holder of Preferred Shares in exchange
for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a
written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this
Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a stated
value and dividend rate equal to the Stated Value and Dividend Rate of the
Preferred Shares held by such holder and having similar ranking to the Preferred
Shares, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence
of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and
be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental
Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations referring to
the
"Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every
right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Certificate of Designations with the same effect as if such
Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of
the
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder
confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the
Preferred Shares at
any
time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or
other
securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable
upon the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares prior to such
Fundamental Transaction,
such
publicly traded common shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity,
as
adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations.
The
provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations
on the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares.
5.2 Purchase
Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options,
Convertible Securities or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock
(the
"Purchase
Rights"),
then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to
such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have
acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account
any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as
of
which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

VII.Authorized
Shares.
7.1 Reservation.
The Company shall have reserved not less than 25,000,000 of the shares of its
authorized Common Stock for the conversion of the Preferred Shares and the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of all of the Warrants. The
Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of
its
authorized and unissued Common Stock the number of shares required to be
reserved by the this paragraph (without regard to any limitations on
conversions) (the "Required
Amount").
The
initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the
Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall
be
allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares
held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Preferred Shares or increase
in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the "Authorized
Share Allocation").
In
the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's
Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of
the
number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any
Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any
Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred
Shares, pro rata based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such
Holders.
7.2 Insufficient
Authorized Shares. After the Capital Increase, if at any time while any of
the
Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient
number of authorized and unissued Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to
have
available for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Amount (an "Authorized
Share Failure"),
then the Company shall as promptly as practicable take use reasonable best
efforts to increase the Company's authorized Common Stock to an amount
sufficient to allow the Company to have available the Required Amount for the
Preferred Shares then outstanding.

Rights.
8.1 General
Voting. Each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to
the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's Preferred Shares
would
be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders,
and
shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and
powers of the Common Stock. Each holder shall be entitled to receive the same
prior notice of any stockholders' meeting as is provided to the holders of
Common Stock in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior
notice of all stockholder actions to be taken by legally available means in
lieu
of a meeting and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock on
all
matters, except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be
submitted to a class vote of the Holders of Preferred Shares, in which case
the
Holders of Preferred Shares only shall vote as a separate class.
49
8.2 Board
Size. The authorized number of directors of the Company's Board of Directors
shall initially be five (5); provided, however, that at any time following
the
approval of the Required Holders the authorized number of directors of the
Company's Board of Directors may be increased or decreased from five (5)
members.
8.3 Board
of
Directors Election. So long as Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx Capital Focus III, L.P. (the
"Investor")
or an
affiliate of the Investor continues to hold at least twenty five percent (25%)
of the cumulative aggregate number of Preferred Shares issued to the Investor
on
the Initial Issuance Date, the Investor shall be entitled to elect one (1)
director to the Board of Directors of the Company (an "Investor
Designee")
at
each annual election of directors; provided, however, that any Investor Designee
other than Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx must be approved by the Company, such approval
not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At any meeting held of the purpose
of
electing or nominating directors, the presence in person or by proxy of the
Investor or its designee shall constituted a quorum for the election or
nomination of the Investor Designee. Any director elected as provided herein
may
be removed during the aforesaid term of office, either with or without cause,
by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the Investor or its designee, given
either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose
or
pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created
may be filled by the Investor or its designee represented at the meeting or
pursuant to written consent of such holders. In case of any vacancy (other
than
a vacancy caused by removal) in the office of a director occurring among the
director elected by the Investor or its designee pursuant hereto, the vacancy
thereby created may be filled by the Investor or its designee represented at
a
special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant
to
written consent of the Investor or its designee.

of Control Redemption Right.
(a) No
sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the
consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement
of
such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (a "Change
of Control Notice").
In
the event that the Successor Entity is not a publicly traded corporation whose
common shares are quoted or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, at any
time during the period (the "Change
of Control Period")
beginning after a Holder's receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending
on
the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change
of Control, such Holder may require the Company to redeem prior to any payment
on any Junior Shares (as defined below) all or any portion of such Holder's
Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof ("Change
of Control Redemption Notice")
to the
Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion
Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject to
redemption pursuant to this Section 8 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash
at a price equal to (the "Change
of Control Redemption Price")
the
greater of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of
(A)
the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined
by dividing (I) the aggregate Change of Control Transaction Consideration (as
defined below) by (II) the Conversion Price. In the event that any of the Change
of Control Redemption Price is based on any Non-Cash Consideration (as defined
below) (a "Non-Cash
Change of Control"),
then
the Holder shall be entitled to indicate in its Change of Control Redemption
Notice (the "Alternate
Change of Control Redemption")
that
the Change of Control Redemption Price shall be equal to (i) cash in an amount
equal to 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed, (ii) in exchange for
the
surrender to the Company of the Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares
(as
defined below), the Change of Control Dividend Share Payment (as defined below)
(the cash payments under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to
herein as the "Alternate
Change of Control Cash Payment")
and
(iii) as to the Change of Control Balance Amount (as defined below), the same
form of consideration per share of Common Stock as that paid upon consummation
of the Change of Control. The Company shall make payment of the Change of
Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change
of
Control if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to
the
consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after
the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise (the "Change
of Control Redemption Date").
To
the extent redemptions required by this Section 8 are deemed or determined
by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by
the
Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, until the Change
of
Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full,
the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 8(a) may
be
converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock, or in the
event
the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares
or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the
Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c)(i). The parties hereto agree
that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Preferred
Shares under this Section 8(a), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and
difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future
interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute
investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium
due
under this Section 8(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed,
a
reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity
and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the Change
of
Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control Redemption Date, then the
Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 3(e)
with
the term "Change of Control Redemption Price" being substituted for "Redemption
Price" and "Change of Control Redemption Notice" being substituted for "Notice
of Redemption at Option of Holder".
50
For
purposes of this Section 8(a), the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
"Change
of Control Balance Amount"
means a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Change of
Control Cash Balance Amount divided by (y) Change of Control Transaction
Consideration.
51
"Change
of Control Cash Balance Amount"
means
(A) the product of (x) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration and
(y)
the sum of (I) the Total Dividend Shares and (II) the number of shares of Common
Stock then issuable upon conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount at
then
applicable Conversion Price minus
(B) the
Alternate Change of Control Cash Payment.
"Change
of Control Dividend Share Payment"
means a
cash payment equal to the product of (x) the Change of Control Transaction
Consideration and (y) the number of Change of Control Eligible Dividend
Shares.
"Change
of Control Eligible Dividend Shares"
means a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the number of
Dividend Shares previously issued to the Holder (the "Total
Dividend Shares")
and
(y) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration.
"Change
of Control Transaction Consideration"
means
an amount per share of Common Stock equal to the cash consideration and the
aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration ("Non-Cash
Consideration")
per
share of Common Stock to be paid to the holders of Common Stock upon
consummation of the Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration
consisting of marketable securities to be valued at the higher of the Closing
Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to or
the
Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed
Change of Control and any other non-cash consideration to be valued in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).
Solely
for purposes of clarification, in the event of a Non-Cash Change of Control
and
assuming that (a) the Non-Cash Change of Control occurs on the one year
anniversary of the Issuance Date, (b) that 10,000 Preferred Shares are
outstanding (such that the Conversion Amount equals $10,000,000), (c) there
are
no accrued but unpaid Dividends at such time, (d) Dividend Shares were issued
at
the Conversion Price (such that the 8.25% Dividend Rate for the first year
yielded 537,880 Dividend Shares issued ($10,000,000 x 8.25%/$1.5338)), (e)
solely for purposes of this example, compounding is ignored in calculating
Dividends (if compounding were not ignored, the number of Dividend Shares in
clause (d) would have been 554,750), (f) the Change of Control Transaction
Consideration is $3 per share, and (g) the Holder elects to redeem all of its
Preferred Shares (i.e., 10,000 Preferred Shares) in such Non-Cash Change of
Control pursuant to the Alternate Change of Control Redemption, then the Change
of Control Redemption Price shall be equal to:
(i)
$11,000,000 (the Conversion Amount of $10,000,000 times 110%),
plus
(ii)
in
exchange for the surrender to the Company of the Change of Control Eligible
Dividend Shares, which are 179,293 of the Dividend Shares of the Holder (the
quotient of (x) the 537,880 Total Dividend Shares previously issued to the
Holder and (y) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration), $537,880
(the Change of Control Dividend Share Payment which is the product of (x) the
$3
Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) the 179,293 Change of
Control Eligible Dividend Shares),
52
plus
(iii)
the
same form of consideration per share of Common Stock as that being paid upon
consummation of the Change of Control as to 3,211,675 shares of Common Stock
(determined as the quotient of:
(x)
the
Change of Control Cash Balance Amount ($9,635,025 (determined as (A) $21,172,905
(the product of (x) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration and
(y)
7,057,635 (the sum of (I) the 537,880 Total Dividend Shares and (II) the
6,519,755 shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the
$10,000,000 Conversion Amount at the Conversion Price of $1.5338)) minus
(B) the
$11,537,880 Alternate Change of Control Cash Payment (the sum of (i) $11,000,000
and $537,880))
and
(y)
the
$3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration).
9.1 No
sooner
than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation
of
a Rule 13e-3 Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such
Rule
13e-3 Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (a "13e-3
Notice").
At
any time during the period (the "13e-3
Period")
beginning after a Holder's receipt of a 13e-3 Notice and ending on the date
that
is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction,
such Holder may require the Company to redeem prior to the payment of any Junior
Shares all or any portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering
written notice thereof ("13e-3
Redemption Notice")
to the
Company, which 13e-3 Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount
the
Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject to redemption
pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a
price equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed
and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied
by
(B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the arithmetic average of the
Closing Sale Price over the twenty Trading Day period immediately prior to
consummation of such Rule 13e-3 Transaction by (II) the Conversion Price (the
"13e-3
Redemption Price").
The
Company shall made payment of the 13e-3 Redemption Price concurrently with
the
consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction if such a 13e-3 Redemption Notice is
received prior to the consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction and within five
(5)
Trading Days after the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise (the
"13e-3
Redemption Date").
To
the extent redemptions required by this Section 8(b) are deemed or determined
by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares
by
the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(b), until the 13e-3
Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the
Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 8(b) may be
converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock, or in the
event
the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the 13e-3 Transaction, shares
or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the
Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c)(i). The parties hereto agree
that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Preferred
Shares under this Section 8(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and
difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future
interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute
investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium
due
under this Section 8(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed,
a
reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity
and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the 13e-3
Redemption Price on the 13e-3 Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the
right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 3(e) with the term "13e-3
Redemption Price" being substituted for "Redemption Price" and "13e-3 Redemption
Notice" being substituted for "Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder".

X.XXXXXXX'S
RIGHT OF MANDATORY CONVERSION
10.1 Mandatory
Conversion. If at any time beginning with the fiscal quarter of the Company
ending on June 30, 2007, (the "Mandatory
Conversion Eligibility Date"),
(i)
the Company has (A) been Profitable for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters
(not
taking into account any non-cash charges related to the issuance and sale of
the
Preferred Shares) (each such quarter, a "Positive
Quarter")
and
(B) filed 25 ANDAs including 12 from a list agreed upon by the Required Holders
and the Company, and (ii) the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied or
waived in writing by the Holder on each day during the period commencing on
the
Mandatory Conversion Notice Date and ending on the Mandatory Conversion Date
(each, as defined below), the Company shall have the right to require the Holder
to convert up to all of the Conversion Amount into fully paid, validly issued
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c)
hereof at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined
below) (a "Mandatory
Conversion").
The
Company may exercise its right to require conversion under this Section 9(a)
on
one occasion by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following
the end of the public announcement of such second consecutive Positive Quarter
a
written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less
than all, of the Holders of Preferred Shares and the Transfer Agent (the
"Mandatory
Conversion Notice"
and the
date all of the Holders received such notice by facsimile is referred to as
the
"Mandatory
Conversion Notice Date").
The
Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Conversion
Notice shall state (i) the Trading Day selected for the Mandatory Conversion
in
accordance with Section 9(a), which Trading Day shall be at least twenty (20)
Business Days but not more than sixty (60) Business Days following the Mandatory
Conversion Notice Date (the "Mandatory
Conversion Date"),
(ii) the number of Preferred Shares of such Holder subject to the Mandatory
Conversion, (iii) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares
subject to Mandatory Conversion from all of the Holders of the Preferred Shares
pursuant to this Section 9 and (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock to
be
issued to such Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may not effect a Mandatory Conversion of any applicable
Holder under this Section if the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares of any Holder subject to a Mandatory
Conversion would cause such Holder's beneficial ownership of the Common Stock
to
exceed the Maximum Percentage as set forth in Section 5.
54
10.2 Pro
Rata Conversion Requirements.
(a) If
the
Company elects to cause a conversion of any Conversion Amount of Preferred
Shares pursuant to Section
9(a),
then it
must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect
to
all Preferred Shares.
(b) All
Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice
Date shall reduce the Conversion Amount required to be converted on the
Mandatory Conversion Date. If the Company has elected a Mandatory Conversion,
the mechanics of conversion set forth in Section
2(d)
shall
apply, to the extent applicable, as if the Company and the Transfer Agent had
received from the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date a Conversion Notice
with respect to the Conversion Amount being converted pursuant to the Mandatory
Conversion.
ARTICLE
XI.Liquidation,
Dissolution, Winding-Up.
In the
event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash
out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings
available for distribution to its stockholders (the "Liquidation
Funds"),
before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of the capital shares
of
the Company of any class junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect
of
the preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution
and winding up of the Company ("Junior
Shares"),
an
amount per Preferred Share equal to the Conversion Amount; provided that, if
the
Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders
and
holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred shares of the Company
that are of equal rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation
Funds (the "Pari
Passu Shares"),
then
each Holder and Pari Passu Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation
Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder
as a
liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of
designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation
Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. To
the
extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of
its
Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the
proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance
with this Section. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under
this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or
setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any
Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of other classes
or
series of preferred shares of the Company junior in rank to the Preferred Shares
in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section applies. The
purchase or redemption by the Company of shares of any class, in any manner
permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a
Liquidation Event.
55
ARTICLE
XII.Preferred
Rank.
All
Common Stock shall be of junior rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to
the
preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
dissolution and winding up of the Company. The rights of the Common Stock shall
be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred Shares.
Without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders, the Company
shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital shares that
is of senior or pari-passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the
preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution
and winding up of the Company. The Company shall be permitted to issue preferred
shares that are junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the
preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution
and winding up of the Company, provided that the maturity date (or any other
date requiring redemption or repayment of such preferred shares) of any such
junior preferred shares are not on or before the date no Preferred Shares are
outstanding. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with
or
into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative
powers, designations and preferences provided for herein and no merger shall
result inconsistent therewith.
ARTICLE
XIII.Limitation
on Number of Conversion Shares.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall
not
be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants if the issuance of such Common
Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company
may
issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares without breaching the Company's
obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the
"Exchange
Cap"),
except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (a)
obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules
of
the Principal Market (or any successor rule or regulation) for issuances of
Common Stock in excess of such amount, or (b) obtains a written opinion from
outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval
or
written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of Preferred Shares pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchasers")
shall
be issued, in the aggregate, upon conversion of Preferred Shares or exercise
of
the Warrants, Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the
Exchange Cap amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the
number of Preferred Shares issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date and the denominator of which
is
the aggregate amount of all the Preferred Shares issued to the Purchasers
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date
(the
"Exchange
Cap Allocation").
In
the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such
Purchaser's Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata
portion of such Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation. In the event that any
Holder shall convert all of such Holder's Preferred Shares into a number of
shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such Holder's
Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such Holder's Exchange
Cap
Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such
Holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the
remaining Holders on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Preferred
Shares then held by each such Holder.
56
ARTICLE
XIV.Protective
Provisions.
So long
as the Investor holds at least 25% of the Preferred Shares issued on the Initial
Issuance Date, in addition to any other rights provided by law, except where
the
vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required
by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without
first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose
or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting
together as a single class, the Company shall not:
14.1 amend
or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of
Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles
of
amendment of any series of preferred shares, if such action would materially
adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of,
or
restrictions provided for the benefit of the Preferred Shares, regardless of
whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise;
14.2 increase
or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Preferred
Shares;
14.3 issue
any shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other
equity securities to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants (that
are affiliates of the Company) to, the Company in excess of 2% of the fully
diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial Issuance
Date;
14.4 issue
any shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other
equity securities to independent third parties (e.g., investment banks, investor
relations firms, consultants that are not affiliates of the Company) in excess
of 2% of the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial
Issuance Date;
14.5 pay
dividends or make any other distribution on the capital stock of the Company
other than (i) dividends on the Preferred Stock or (ii) solely at such time
as
the Company is not in breach under any Transaction Document or under the Credit
Agreement, the stated dividends on the shares of Series A-1 Preferred
Stock;
14.6 except
as permitted herein, purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of capital stock
of the Company, excluding shares of Common Stock repurchased from an employee,
consultant, officer or director pursuant to a restricted stock purchase
agreement or an equity incentive agreement with employees giving the Company
the
right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services;
14.7 effect
any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company;
14.8 issue
any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Purchase Price (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (as adjusted from time to time
to
reflect stock slits, stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations
and other similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock); provided,
however, that if the Company has issued less than 15,000 Preferred Shares
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, then the Company, provided it
has
complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 4(o) of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, may 90 or more days after the Subscription Date, issue
shares of Common Stock in an amount not in excess of the difference between
the
aggregate Purchase Price for all Preferred Shares issued in accordance with
the
Securities Purchase Agreement and $15,000,000.00;
57
14.9 enter
into or amend any agreement with any stockholder, officer, director, any
affiliate thereof or any other affiliate of the Company, other than on an arms'
length basis;
14.10 issue
any Indebtedness that creates an obligation for the Company to repay in the
aggregate more than $50 million in principal and interest;
14.11 effect
any acquisition of an equity interest or rights to acquire equity in any Person
or assets of any Person, other than (i) a Person in which the Company owns
a
minority interest as of the Subscription Date and (ii) acquisitions in which
the
sole consideration consists of equity securities of the Company; provided,
that,
the value of any equity issued in accordance with clause (i) and (ii) shall
not
exceed $5 million in the aggregate;
14.12 whether
or not prohibited by the terms of the Preferred Shares, circumvent a right
of
the Preferred Shares; or
14.13 agree
to any of the foregoing.
ARTICLE
XV.Lost
or Stolen Certificates.
Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Share Certificates
representing the Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company
in
customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of the Preferred Share Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver
new
Preferred Share Certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the
Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Preferred Share Certificates if
the
Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Preferred Shares
into Common Stock.
ARTICLE
XVI.Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive
Relief.
The
remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and
in
addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations,
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of
compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall
limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company
to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company
covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning
this
instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or
provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and
the
computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof
and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other
obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm
to
the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened
breach, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
58
ARTICLE
XXXX.Xxxxxxxxxxxx.
This
Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company
and all Holders and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter
hereof.
ARTICLE
XVIII.Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver.
No
failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right
or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or
partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
ARTICLE
XIX.Notice.
Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations,
unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance
with
Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (provided that if the
Preferred Shares are not held by a Buyer (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) then substituting the words "holder of Securities" for the word
"Buyer").
ARTICLE
XX.Transfer
of Preferred Shares.
A
Holder may assign some or all of the Preferred Shares and the accompanying
rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Company;
provided that such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities
laws.
ARTICLE
XXI.Preferred
Share Register.
The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a
register for the Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the name
and address of the Persons in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued,
as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the
person in whose name any Preferred Share is registered on the register as the
owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made
transfers.
ARTICLE
XXII.Stockholder

Any
stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought
by
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market,
the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Certificate of
Designation or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Shares
or
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the issuance of any
Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof may be effected
by
written consent of the Company's stockholders or at a duly called meeting of

INTERPHARM
HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
hereby certifies that, for value received, [______________] or its registered
assigns (the “Holder”),
is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of
[ ]1
shares
of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”),
of
the Company (each such share, a “Warrant
Share”
and
all
such shares, the “Warrant
Shares”)
at an
exercise price equal to $0.95 per share (as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section 9,
the
“Exercise
Price”),
at
any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and
including the date that is five years from the date of issuance hereof (the
“Expiration
Date”),
and
subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “Warrant”)
is one
of a series of similar Warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of November ___, 2007, by and among the Company
and
the Purchasers identified therein (the “Purchase
Agreement”).
All
such Warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Warrants.”
ARTICLE
XXV.Definitions.
In
addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms
that
are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement.
ARTICLE
XXVI.Registration
of Warrant.
The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”),
in
the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for
the
purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all
other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
2 Holder’s
pro rata share of 1,842,103.

ARTICLE
XXVII.Registration
of Transfers.
The
Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the
Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment
attached hereto on Annex B
duly
completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon
any
such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New
Warrant”),
evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant
not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.
ARTICLE
XXVIII.Exercise
and Duration of Warrants.
28.1 This
Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from
time
to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At
6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value;
provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days
immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the
Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to
have
been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless
exercise” basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date if a
“cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10
below.
28.2 A
Holder
may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise
notice, in the form attached hereto on Annex A (the “Exercise
Notice”),
appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in
the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant
to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company
(as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an
“Exercise
Date.”
The
Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect
an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall
have
the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New
Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant
Shares.
ARTICLE
XXXX.Xxxxxxxx
of Warrant Shares.
29.1 Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later
than
five Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and
cause
to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name
or
names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable
upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement
covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling
stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not
freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under
the 1933 Act. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive
Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant
Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder
and provided a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for
the
resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect, use its reasonable best efforts
to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
65
29.2 This
Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a
portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant
following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to
be
issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares.
29.3 In
addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to
deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares by the fifth
Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate is required
by
this Warrant, and if after such fifth Trading Day the Holder purchases (in
an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder
anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall, within five Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in
the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if
any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In
Price”),
at
which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common
Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any)
of
the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common
Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to
the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.
29.4 The
Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the
terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or
inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect
to any provision hereof, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or
termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person
of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law
by
the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
which
might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection
with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right
to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant
as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
ARTICLE
XXX.Charges,
Taxes and Expenses.
Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes
and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder
shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result
of
holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise
hereof.
66
ARTICLE
XXXI.Replacement
of Warrant.
If this
Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but
only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with
such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
ARTICLE
XXXII.Reservation
of Warrant Shares.
The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which
are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant,
free
from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other
than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of
Section 9).
The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall,
upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid
and
nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to
assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock
may be listed.
ARTICLE
XXXIII.Certain
Adjustments.
The
Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 9.
33.1 Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise
makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares
of
Common Stock (other than regular dividends on the Series A-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock the Series C-1
Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such
event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any
adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
67
33.2 Pro
Rata
Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
distributes to all of its holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its
indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock
covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
“Distributed
Property”),
then
in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record
date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the
product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall
be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately
prior
to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be
such
average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed
in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the a
nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm selected by the
Company (an “Appraiser”).
In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm), in which case
such
fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined
by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing
adjustment to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to Section 9(e) below, at the
request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such record date,
the
Company will deliver to such Holder, within five Trading Days after such request
(or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed
Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of
the
Warrant Shares for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately
prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to
a
Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon expiration of or any
exercise of the Warrant that occurs after such record date, such Holder shall
remain entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable
upon such exercise (if applicable), such Distributed Property.
33.3 Fundamental
Transactions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the
Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of
its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed
pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange
their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company
effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of
a
subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by
Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”),
then
the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this
Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would
have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full
of this Warrant (the “Alternate
Consideration”).
The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such
Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise
Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the
relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.
If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or
property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall
be
given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. In the event
of
a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person,
as
the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing
that:
(A)
this
Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate
Consideration in accordance with this Section 9(c),
68
(B)
in
the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor
or
purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for
the
performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and the
Purchase Agreement, and
(C)
if
registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act
or
applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock
and
other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration
or
qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.
If,
in
the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes
shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other
than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may
be,
in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be
executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions
to
protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company
shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s
request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate
Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms
of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall
include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with
the provisions of this Section
9(c)
and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act with respect to
the Company in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash
or
stock in a non-public company, then at the request of the Holder delivered
before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any
such
successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for
a
purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request
(or,
if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the
Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on
the
date of such request.
33.4 Antidilution
Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If
at any
time this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance
with this Section 9(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common
Stock, with the exception of Excluded Stock, for a consideration per share
(the
“New
Securities Issuance Price”)
less
than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (each such
sale
or issuance, a “Dilutive
Issuance”),
then concurrent with such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the New
Securities Issuance Price.
For
purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section
10(d),
the
following shall be applicable:
(a) Issuance
of Options.
If the
Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (other than Excluded Stock)
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise
of
any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than
the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section
9(d)(i),
the
“lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to
the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting
or
sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange
or
exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.
No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
69
(b) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (other than
Excluded Stock) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less
than the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section
9(d)(ii),
the
“lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion, exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest
amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with
respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the
Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such
Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange
or
exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment
of the Conversion Price had been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions
of this Section
9(d),
no
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such
issue
or sale.
(c) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the
purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise
of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes
at
any time (other than Excluded Stock), the Exercise Price in effect at the time
of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been
in
effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for
such
changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate,
as
the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes
of
this Section
9(d)(iii),
if the
terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the
Initial Closing Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately
preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common
Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. On the expiration
of
any Option or Convertible Security not exercised, the applicable Exercise Price
then in effect shall forthwith be increased to the Exercise Price that would
have been in effect at the time of such expiration had such Stock Purchase
Rights or Convertible Securities never been issued. No adjustment shall be
made
if such adjustment would increase the applicable Exercise Price by an amount
in
excess of the adjustment originally made to the Exercise Price in respect of
the
issue, sale or grant of the applicable Option or Convertible Security.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall an adjustment
to the Exercise Price be made retroactively with respect to any portion of
the
Warrant which has been exercised prior to the actual date of the dilutive
issuance or change. In addition, to clarify for purposes of this Section
9(d),
if an
Option or Convertible Security has a price reset or similar provision that
would
cause the price to adjust based on a future event or contingency, then the
“lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall not become
such adjusted price unless and until the happening of such event or contingency
that actually gives effect to the adjustment.
70
(d) Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
of
the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, then solely
for purposes of this Section
9(d),
the
Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the
exercise price of such Option. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount
received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount
of
the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair
value
of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the arithmetic average of the closing price of such securities during
the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such
securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined jointly by the Company and Required Holders in good faith.
If
such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the
occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation
Event”),
the
fair value of such consideration will be determined within five Business Days
after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent,
reputable appraiser selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The
determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent
manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne
equally by the Company and the Required Holders.
33.5 Number
of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) of this Section, the
number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment
the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased
number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price
in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
33.6 Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or
the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held
by or
for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall
be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
71
33.7 Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this
Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly, but in any event no
later than 10 Trading Days after such occurrence compute such adjustment in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting
forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price
and
adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving
rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver
a
copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer
Agent.
33.8 Notice
of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other
distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common
Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to

notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at
least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on
which
a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote
with
respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably
necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity
to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote
with

such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be described in such notice.
ARTICLE
XXXIV.Payment
of Exercise Price.
The
Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided,
however,
that if
the Registration Statement did not become effective on or before the Required
Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and is
not
continuously effective through the Expiration Date, the Holder may satisfy
its
obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares
determined as follows:
X
=
Y [(A-B)/A]
|
|
where:
|
|
X
=
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the
Holder.
|
|
Y
=
the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is
being
exercised.
|
|
A
=
the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading
Days
immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date.
|
|
B
=
the Exercise Price.

purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on
the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.
