Exhibit 4.1

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated February 10, 2015, between BIND Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, acting as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire up to 2,243,478 shares, subject to adjustment as provided herein, of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company (collectively, the “Warrant Shares”);

WHEREAS, each Warrant shall represent the right to purchase from the Company, at an initial price of $6.60 per share (the “Exercise Price”), one share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided hereunder; and

WHEREAS, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC is willing to serve as the Warrant Agent in connection with the issuance of Warrant Certificates and the other matters as provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for the purpose of defining the terms and provisions of the Warrants and the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the record holders from time to time of the Warrants (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”), the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Aggregate Exercise Price” means, with respect to each exercise of Warrants held by the Holder, the Exercise Price per Warrant multiplied by the aggregate number of Warrant Shares (which must be a whole number) that such Holder intends to purchase pursuant to such exercise.

“Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a federal legal holiday in the United States or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or other government action to close.

“Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Warrant Agent the Form of Election to Purchase attached thereto (with the Warrant Shares Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder.

“Expiration Date” means February 10, 2020.

“Initial Issuance Date” means February 10, 2015.

“Market Price” of a share of Common Stock on any date shall mean the arithmetic mean of the VWAP on each of the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding such date. The Market Price shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period.

“Person” means a corporation, association, partnership, limited liability corporation, organization, business, individual, trust, government or political subdivision thereof or governmental agency.

“Trading Day” means (i) a day on which the shares of Common Stock are traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Capital Market, New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT or other national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted, or (ii) if the shares of Common Stock are not listed on any such exchange or market, a day on which the shares of Common Stock are traded in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, or (iii) if the shares of Common Stock are not listed on any such exchange or market or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a day on which the shares of Common Stock are quoted in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or any similar organization or agency succeeding its functions of reporting prices); provided, that in the event that the shares of Common Stock are not listed or quoted as set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) hereof, then Trading Day shall mean a Business Day.

“VWAP” on any Trading Day means the per share volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “BIND <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such Trading Day. VWAP shall be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours. If VWAP cannot be calculated on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP on such date shall be the fair market value of the Common Stock as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder.

“Warrant Certificate” means a certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A representing such number of Warrants set forth on the Warrant Certificate.

2. Form of Warrant.

(a) Warrants in Global Form. The Warrants shall initially be issuable in book-entry registration only and evidenced by one or more global Warrant Certificates (the “Global Warrant Certificates”) deposited with the Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co. (“Cede”), a nominee of the Depository. Ownership of beneficial interests in the

Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by (i) the Depository or its nominee for each Global Warrant Certificate or (ii) institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such institutions, with respect to a Warrant in its account, each a “Participant”). For purposes of this Agreement, the delivery of a notice from the Depository or a Participant of the transfer or exercise of Warrants in the form of a Global Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to constitute the delivery of a Warrant Certificate with respect to such transfer or exercise. If the Depository subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding other arrangements for book-entry settlement. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Warrants, or if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, not to have securities represented by the Global Warrant Certificates, the Company will instruct the Warrant Agent to prepare and deliver physical certificates evidencing the Warrants in exchange for the beneficial interests in the Global Warrant Certificates, based on directions received by the Depository from its Participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Warrant Certificates. In such event, any physical certificates evidencing the Warrants shall represent one or more Warrants as set forth on the Warrant Certificate and be issued in registered form only as definitive Warrant Certificates and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, shall be dated the date of issuance thereof (whether upon initial issuance, register of transfer, exchange or replacement) and shall bear such legends and endorsements typed, stamped, printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Effect of Signature. Warrant Certificates shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, Treasurer or Secretary of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant Certificate before such Warrant Certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

(c) Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant Certificate shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Warrant Certificate has been duly issued under the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions

delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder of each Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of the Warrants represented thereby for the purpose of any exercise thereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. Any person in whose name ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate is recorded in the records maintained by the Depository or its nominee shall be deemed the “beneficial owner” thereof; provided, that all such beneficial interests shall be held through a Participant, which shall be the registered holder of such Warrants.

(e) Registration of Transfers. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer of any portion of a Warrant Certificate in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Assignment attached thereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (any such new Warrant Certificate, a “New Warrant Certificate”), evidencing the portion of the Warrant Certificate so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the Warrant Certificate not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The delivery of the New Warrant Certificate by the Company to the transferee thereof shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Warrants are evidenced by Global Warrant Certificates deposited with the Depository, ownership of beneficial interests in the Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained (i) by the Depository or its nominee for each Warrant; (ii) by Participants; or (iii) directly on the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent with respect only to owners of beneficial interests that represent such direct registration.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else herein to the contrary, the Warrants may be issued in uncertificated form if so specified by the Company.

3. Term of Warrants. Warrants shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Issuance Date until 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Expiration Date. At 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Expiration Date, any Warrant not exercised prior thereto (including without limitation, by payment of the applicable Aggregate Exercise Price on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Expiration Date) shall be and become void and of no value.

4. Exercise of Warrants and Delivery of Warrant Shares.

(a) Cashless Exercise. A Holder may exercise the Warrants through a cashless exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”) pursuant to Section 4(b) below if, and only if, an effective registration statement is not then available for the issuance of

the Warrant Shares. If an effective registration statement is available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares, a Holder may only exercise the Warrants through a cash exercise (a “Cash Exercise”) in accordance with Section 4(c) below. The delivery of a Form of Election to Purchase shall be irrevocable by the Holder except in connection with the exercise by the Holder of its option as a result of the Buy-In to reinstate a portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which an exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) in accordance with Section 4(h) below.

(b) The Holder may effect a Cashless Exercise by delivering such Warrant Certificates to the Company and noting on the Form of Election to Purchase that the Holder wishes to effect a Cashless Exercise, upon which the Company shall issue, or cause to be issued, to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:


X =		Y x (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 the Warrant Certificates are being exercised;

A =		the Market Price as of the Date of Exercise; and

B =		the Exercise Price.

If the foregoing calculation results in zero or a negative number, then no Warrant Shares shall be issued upon such a Cashless Exercise pursuant to this subsection 4(b).

(c) Exercise Procedure. At such times, and upon such representations and agreements, upon delivery of the Form of Election to Purchase (with the Warrant Shares Exercise Log attached and reference to the applicable Warrant Certificate sufficient to identify it) to the Warrant Agent (or, in the case of a Global Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance with the Depository’s procedures), at its address for notice set forth in Section 14, and, in the case of a Cash Exercise, payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price by the date that is one (1) Trading Day after the Date of Exercise, the Company shall, on or prior to the date that is the later of (A) the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the Date of Exercise and (B) the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the date that the Aggregate Exercise Price is paid to the Company (such later date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”), (i) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in the Depository’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and an effective registration statement is available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder or Participant, as the case may be, is entitled pursuant

to such exercise to the Holder’s, Participant’s, or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (ii) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Form of Election to Purchase, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. 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 later of (x) the Date of Exercise of the relevant Warrant and (y) the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Warrant Agent (A) the Form of Election to Purchase attached thereto (with the Warrant Shares Exercise Log attached to it and reference to the relevant Warrant Certificate sufficient to identify it), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (B) in the case of a Cash Exercise, payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 10 for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

(d) If the Holder delivers a Form of Election to Purchase but fails, within one Trading Day after the Date of Exercise, to take all actions necessary under the terms of this Agreement for such Holder to receive Warrant Shares and be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares, then the Holder shall be deemed not to have delivered such Form of Election to Purchase and the Company shall not have any obligation to issue any Warrant Shares. If the Holder has taken all actions necessary under the terms of this Agreement for such Holder to receive Warrant Shares subject to a Form of Election to Purchase on a Warrant Share Delivery Date and the Company fails for any reason to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder such Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP on the date of the applicable Form of Election to Purchase), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered.

(e) For so long as there is a then effective registration statement covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant Shares are freely tradable by the Holder without restriction under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, upon issuance, the Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all restrictive legends.

(f) No ink-original Form of Election to Purchase shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Form of Election to Purchase be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender any Warrant Certificate to the Company or Warrant Agent until all of the Warrant Shares issuable thereunder have been purchased and all of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate have been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder

shall surrender such Warrant Certificate to the Company or Warrant Agent for cancellation within one (1) Trading Day of the date the final Form of Election to Purchase is delivered to the Warrant Agent. Partial exercises of such Warrant Certificate resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available thereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a Warrant Certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following a partial exercise of such Warrant Certificate, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant Certificate at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face thereof.

(g) If fewer than all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant Certificate are purchased upon any exercise thereof, then promptly following the date on which the Holder has taken all actions necessary under the terms of this Agreement for such Holder to receive Warrant Shares and be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares and at the request of the Holder (provided that the Holder has delivered the original physical Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent, which delivery shall not include delivery of a notice from the Depository of the transfer or exercise of Warrants in the form of a Global Warrant Certificate), the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder or its assigns a New Warrant Certificate (dated the date such Holder is deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares) evidencing the unexercised portion of the relevant Warrant Certificate. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depository, its nominee for each Global Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise.

(h) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Holder has taken all actions necessary under the terms of this Agreement for such Holder to receive Warrant Shares subject to a Form of Election to Purchase on a Warrant Share Delivery Date and the Company fails, or fails to cause the Warrant Agent, to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(c) above on or before the applicable Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either

reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.

5. Ownership Limitations on Exercise

(a) A Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants, pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares or any other security otherwise deliverable pursuant to such exercise, as set forth on the applicable Form of Election to Purchase, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 13e-3 of the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, an “Affiliate”), and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates), would have Beneficial Ownership (as defined below) of more than 19.999% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other class of equity security (other than an exempted security) that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (a “Class”) (the “19.999% Ownership Limitation”).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 5(a) above, during any period of time in which a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock or any other Class is less than 10%, a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants, pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares or any other security otherwise deliverable pursuant to such exercise, as set forth on the applicable Form of Election to Purchase, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates), would have Beneficial Ownership of more than 9.999% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class (the “9.999% Ownership Limitation”).

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections 5(a) and 5(b) above, during any period of time in which a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock or any other Class is less than 5%, a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants, pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares or any other security otherwise deliverable pursuant to such exercise, as set forth on the applicable Form of Election to Purchase, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates), would have Beneficial Ownership of more than 4.999% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class (the “4.999% Ownership Limitation”).

(d) For purposes of subsections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above, the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class that a Holder and its Affiliates

(and any other Persons acting as a group together with a Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) has “Beneficial Ownership” shall include the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of the Warrants beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock or any other Class that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of subsections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above, Beneficial Ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by each Holder that the Company is not representing to any Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and each Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that a limitation contained in subsections 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c) above applies, the determination of whether the Warrants owned by a Holder are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates)) and of which portion of the Warrants owned by such Holder is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Form of Election to Purchase to the Warrant Agent or the Company, as applicable, shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Warrants owned by such Holder are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any of its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates)) and of which portion of such Warrants are exercisable, in each case subject to the 19.999% Ownership Limitation, 9.999% Ownership Limitation or 4.999% Ownership Limitation, as applicable, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of subsections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock or such other Class outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company

shall, within three Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Warrants, by the Holder or its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class was reported.

(e) A Holder, upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease either or both of the 4.999% Ownership Limitation and the 9.999% Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of the 19.999% Ownership Limitation. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. Any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder providing such notice and not to any other holder of the Warrants.

(f) The provisions of subsections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with their terms in order to correct any portion thereof which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitations therein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitations. The limitations contained in subsections 5(a) through 5(e) above shall apply to a successor holder of the Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for monitoring the exercise or ownership limitations contained in this Section 5.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5 do not and will not prohibit any transfer of the Warrants to or from, or the holding of the Warrants by, a record holder, such as Cede, as nominee for the Depository, which will routinely hold of record the Warrants for a variety of its Participants (such as members of the Depository, including without limitation brokerage houses and banks) who may hold for beneficial owners, nor will the provisions of this Section 5 prohibit or restrict the Depository from transferring interests in the Warrants on the books of the Depository. The provisions of subsections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above shall not be applicable to any holder that holds Warrants as record holder for the benefit of other record holders or beneficial owners but not themselves as beneficial owners, including without limitation, Cede, as nominee for the Depository. The provisions of subsections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above shall not, therefore, prevent companies which regularly hold the Warrants for others in “street name” from so doing. Provided that such companies are holding the Warrants as record holder for the benefit of other record holders or beneficial owners but not themselves as beneficial owners, the provisions of subsections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above are not intended to impair (i) transfers of the Warrants into, or out of, the name of Cede, or (ii) transfers of interests in the Warrant on the books of the Depository.

6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, or transfer agent fee in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated 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. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liabilities that may arise as a result of holding or transferring any Warrant Certificate or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise thereof.

7. Replacement of Warrant Certificate. If any Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution for such Warrant Certificate, a New Warrant Certificate, 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 Certificate 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.

8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of all outstanding Warrants as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants (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 and issued, and be fully paid and nonassessable.

9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant then outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, (i) pays a dividend in the form of shares of its Common Stock on its Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser 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, 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.

(b) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to subsection 9(a) above, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of each Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, as the case may be, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(c) Cash Dividends. If the Company shall declare or make any cash dividend or other cash distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof (a “Cash Dividend”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then (i) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Cash Dividend shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Market Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the amount of the Cash Dividend applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Market Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Cash Dividend multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i).

(d) Extraordinary Transactions. If, (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 by the Company 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 and, in each case, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the Successor Entity (as defined below) or an affiliate of the Successor Entity (in any such case, an “Extraordinary Transaction”), then each Holder’s Warrants will become the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of his or her Warrants, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Extraordinary Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Extraordinary Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Sections 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c) above on the exercise of the applicable Warrant), the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of the relevant Warrant (the “Alternate

Consideration”) in lieu of Common Stock. The aggregate Exercise Price for each Warrant will not be affected by any such Extraordinary 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 an Extraordinary Transaction, then each Holder, to the extent practicable, shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of his or her Warrant following such Extraordinary Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company or any Successor Entity shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 10 days after, the consummation of the Extraordinary Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Extraordinary Transaction. For purposes of this Section 9(d), “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Extraordinary Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Extraordinary Transaction and the Expiration Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the lesser of 70% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Extraordinary Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Extraordinary Transaction (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Extraordinary Transaction and the Expiration Date. In addition, at the request of each Holder, upon surrender of such Holder’s Warrant, any successor entity in an Extraordinary Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity (the “Successor Entity”) in such Extraordinary Transaction shall issue to such 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. Each Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to an Extraordinary Transaction.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly calculate such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted

Exercise Price and adjusted number of Warrant Shares or type of Alternate Consideration issuable upon exercise of each Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will reasonably promptly deliver to each Holder who makes a request in writing and to the Warrant Agent, a copy of each such certificate.

(g) 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 (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or (ii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such dividend, distribution or transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(g), the failure to deliver any notice under this Section 9(g) or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. Until the exercise of its, his or her Warrant or any portion of such Warrant, a Holder shall not have nor exercise any rights by virtue of ownership of a Warrant as a stockholder of the Company (including without limitation the right to notification of stockholder meetings or the right to receive any notice or other communication concerning the business and affairs of the Company other than as provided in this Section 9(g)).

(h) Subsequent Equity Sales.

(i) Except as provided in subsection 9(i) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with any of subsections 9(h)(ii)(1) through 9(h)(ii)(6) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each such case (a “Trigger Issuance”) the then-existing Exercise Price shall be reduced as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price determined as follows:


Adjusted Exercise Price =		(A x B) + D
		A + C

Where

“A” equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (treating as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Options or Convertible Securities (each as defined below) then outstanding) immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

“B” equals the Exercise Price in effect immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

“C” equals the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined below) issued or deemed issued in the Trigger Issuance; and

“D” equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance;

provided, however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price, after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance, be (A) greater than the original Exercise Price or (B) less than $0.01 per share.

For purposes of this subsection 9(h)(i), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to this subsection 9(h)(i), other than Exempt Issuances (as defined in subsection 9(i) hereof).

(ii) For purposes of this subsection 9(h), the following subsections 9(h)(ii)(1) through 9(h)(ii)(6) shall also be applicable:

(1) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible Securities”), whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or

upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price.

Except as otherwise provided in subsection 9(h)(ii)(3) below, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 9(h)(ii)(3) below, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of Section 9(h).

(3) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if

the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 9(h)(ii)(1) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 9(h)(ii)(1) or 9(h)(ii)(2) above, or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 9(h)(ii)(1) or 9(h)(ii)(2) above are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (excluding changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 9(h) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 9(h) (including, without limitation, upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.

(4) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board.

(5) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or

Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter such Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 9(h) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.

(6) Treasury Shares. 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 or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 9(h).

(i) Exempt Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under subsection 9(h) above in respect of an Exempt Issuance. For the purposes of the Warrants, “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, restricted stock units, Options or common stock equivalents to employees, consultants, advisers, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any existing or future equity compensation plan or arrangement, including, without limitation, employee inducement awards and deferred compensation arrangements, duly adopted for such purpose, by the Board or a committee thereof, and the issuance of Common Stock in respect of such Convertible Securities, restricted stock units, Options or common stock equivalents, (b) the Warrants, (c) securities (including without limitation Common Stock and common stock equivalents) issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities (including without limitation Convertible Securities and Options, and including without limitation the issuance of Common Stock in full satisfaction of any interest or coupon make-whole payments due in connection therewith) issued and outstanding on the date hereof, including without limitation the Warrants, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date hereof to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities, (d) securities issued (including without limitation Options and Convertible Securities) or the filing of a registration statement by the Company in connection with or in accordance with any Shareholder Rights Agreement as may be entered into from time to time by the Company to implement a so-called poison pill as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified, (e) securities issued (i) pursuant to acquisitions of businesses, entities, rights or other assets, (ii) in connection with strategic transactions, including without limitation, joint

ventures, research, manufacturing, licensing, marketing, collaboration or distribution arrangements or technology license, transfer or development arrangements, and (iii) to financial institutions or lessors pursuant to or in connection with any equipment leasing or commercial loan arrangement, credit financing or non-convertible debt financing (and the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of such securities, if applicable), in each case, approved by the Board, (f) securities issued to vendors, consultants and service providers of the Company as compensation or to settle bona fide trade liabilities, (g) the first $30,000,000 of securities sold by the Company pursuant to the Sales Agreement dated October 1, 2014 between the Company and Xxxxx and Company, LLC, as may be amended from time to time, that would otherwise cause an adjustment to the Exercise Price under subsection 9(h)(i) above, and (h) securities issued in a transaction described in subsections 9(a) or 9(d) above.

10. Payment of Exercise Price. Except in the case of a Cashless Exercise pursuant to subsection 4(b) above, the Holder shall pay the Aggregate Exercise Price by paying, in lawful money of the United States, by certified check payable to the Warrant Agent, as agent for the Company, or bank draft payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company) delivered to the Warrant Agent not later than one Trading Day after the Date of Exercise.

11. Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a Holder, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in the Warrants be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a Holder, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of the Warrants.

12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Market Price on the Date of Exercise.

13. Exchange Act Filings. The Holder agrees and acknowledges that it shall have sole responsibility for making any applicable filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act as a result of its acquisition of any Warrant and the Warrant Shares and any future retention or transfer thereof.

14. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Form of Election to Purchase) shall be in

(b) The Warrant Agent shall not by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation as to validity or authorization of the Warrants or the Warrant Certificates (except as to its countersignature thereon) or of any securities or other property delivered upon exercise of any Warrant, or as to the number or kind or amount of securities or other property deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant or the correctness of the representations of the Company made in such certificates that the Warrant Agent receives.

(c) The Warrant Agent shall not have any duty to calculate or determine any required adjustments with respect to the Exercise Price or the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable by Holders upon the exercise of Warrants, nor to determine the accuracy or correctness of any such calculation.

(d) The Warrant Agent shall not (i) be liable for any recital or statement of fact contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith in the belief that any Warrant Certificate or any other document or any signature is genuine or properly authorized, (ii) be responsible for any failure by the Company to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates, (iii) be liable for any act or omission in connection with this Agreement except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (iv) have any responsibility to determine whether a transfer of a Warrant complies with applicable securities laws.

(e) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Treasurer, or the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and to apply to any such officer for written instructions (which will then be reasonably promptly given) and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the instructions of any such officer, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, but in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such or may require such further or additional evidence as it may deem reasonable.

(f) The Warrant Agent may exercise any of the rights and powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys, agents or employees, provided reasonable care has been exercised in the selection and in the continued employment of any persons. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty to institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or legal proceeding in respect hereof, unless first indemnified to its satisfaction. The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

(g) The Company will take such action as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent in order to enable it to carry out or perform its duties under this Agreement.

(h) The Warrant Agent shall act solely as agent of the Company hereunder. The Warrant Agent shall only be liable for the failure to perform such duties as are specifically set forth herein.

(i) The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel satisfactory to it (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.

(j) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent hereunder as the Company and the Warrant Agent may agree from time to time, and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the execution and administration of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and expenses of its counsel), and further agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement.

(k) The Warrant Agent, and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or its Affiliates or become pecuniarily interested in transactions in which the Company or its Affiliates may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other Person.

(l) No resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent and no appointment of a successor warrant agent shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor warrant agent as provided herein. The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liability hereunder (except liability arising as a result of the Warrant Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) after giving written notice to the Company. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent upon written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon in like manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except as aforesaid. The Warrant Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, cause to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to each Holder of a Warrant at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company maintained by the Warrant Agent a copy of said notice of resignation or notice of removal, as the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal, the Company shall appoint in writing a new warrant agent. If the Company fails to do so within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent or after such removal, then the resigning Warrant Agent or the Holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant agent. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the new warrant agent, it shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall give notice thereof to the resigning or

removed Warrant Agent. Failure to give any notice provided for in this subsection 15(l), however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a new warrant agent, as the case may be.

(m) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent may be merged or converted or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Warrant Agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust business shall be a successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act, provided that such corporation (i) would be eligible for appointment as successor to the Warrant Agent under the provisions of subsection 15(l) above or (ii) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Warrant Agent. Any such successor Warrant Agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as Warrant Agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to each Holder in accordance with Section 14 above.

16. Miscellaneous.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders, and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Agreement.

(b) Amendments and Waivers. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, by supplemental agreement or otherwise, (i) make any changes or corrections in this Agreement that are required to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein or (ii) add to the covenants and agreements of the Company for the benefit of the Holders, or surrender any rights or power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Agreement; provided that, in the case of (i) or (ii), such changes or corrections shall not adversely affect the interests of Holders of then outstanding Warrants in any material respect. The Company may, with the consent, in writing or at a meeting, of the Holders of outstanding Warrants exercisable for at least two-thirds of the Warrant Shares, amend in any way, by supplemental agreement or otherwise, this Agreement and/or all of the outstanding Warrant Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall adversely affect any Warrant differently than it affects all other Warrants, unless the Holder thereof consents thereto. The Warrant Agent shall at the request of the Company, and without need of independent inquiry as to whether such supplemental agreement is permitted by the terms of this Section 16(b), join with the Company in the execution and delivery of any such supplemental agreements, but shall not be required to join in such execution and delivery for such supplemental agreement to become effective.

(c) Choice of Law, etc. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

(d) Interpretation. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(e) Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

(f) Additional Warrants. The Company may from time to time issue additional warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) under this Agreement, without requiring the consent of any Holder, with the same terms as the warrants initially issued hereunder.

Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below)) per share of Common Stock. The Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock and/or type of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
