are hereby acknowledged, [BUYER], the registered holder hereof or its permitted
assigns (the "Holder"),
is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company,
at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this
Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common
Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"), at any time or
times on or after the date hereof (the "Initial
Exercisability Date"), but not after 11:59 p.m., New

(_____________)1
fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share,
subject to adjustment as provided herein (the "Warrant
Shares"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section
16. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the
"SPA Warrants") issued
pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
January __, 2011 (the "Subscription Date"), by and
among the Company and the investors (the "Buyers") referred to therein
(the "Securities Purchase
Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Securities
Purchase Agreement.
1. EXERCISE OF
WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of
Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof
(including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this
Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any time or times on or after the
Initial Exercisability
Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the
Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in
cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the
Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as
defined in Section 1(d)). 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 with respect
to less than all of the Warrant Shares 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. On or
before the first (1st)
Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise
Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of
confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company's
transfer agent (the "Transfer
Agent"). On or before the third (3rd)
Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise
Notice (the "Share Delivery
Date") so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or
notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd)
Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise
Notice, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is
participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such
aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to
such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through
its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) 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 Exercise
Notice, 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. The Company shall
be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and
expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if
any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed
for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant
Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of
the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account or the
date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case
may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise
pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by
this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares
being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable
and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its
own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing
the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to
such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect
to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common
Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable
with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of
this Warrant.
(b) Exercise
Price. For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means $2.00,
subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Company's Failure to Timely
Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail for any reason
or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of receipt
of the Exercise Notice so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise
Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd)
Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise
Notice, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share register or
to credit the Holder's balance account
with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this
Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the
Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such fifth (5th)
Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely
effected an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of shares of
Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder
is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have
issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section
1(a). In addition to the foregoing, if within five (5) Trading Days
after the Company's receipt of the
facsimile copy of an Exercise Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver
a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the
Company's share
register or credit the Holder's balance account
with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled upon the Holder's exercise hereunder
or pursuant to the Company's obligation
pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or after such 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 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the
Company (a "Buy-In"),
then the Company shall, within three (3) 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 and other reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, 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 shares of Common Stock) or credit
such Holder's
balance account with DTC shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares
of Common Stock or credit such Holder's balance account
with DTC 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 Bid Price on the date of exercise. Nothing
herein shall limit the 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 (or
to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this
Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d) Cashless Exercise.
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Registration Statement (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) covering the issuance of the
Warrant Shares that are subject to the Exercise Notice (the "Unavailable Warrant Shares")
is not available for the issuance of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder
may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash
payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in
payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such
exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined according to the
following formula (a "Cashless
Exercise"):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x
C)
D
For purposes of the foregoing
formula:
A=
|
the
total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.
|
- 3
-
B=
|
the
arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock for
the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately
preceding the date of the Exercise
Notice.
|
C=
|
the
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the
time of such exercise.
|
D=
|
the
Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Exercise
Date.
|
(e) Disputes. In
the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue
to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve
such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
(f) Limitations on
Exercises. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this
Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to
the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with
such Person's
affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its
affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such
sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including,
without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or
warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form
10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the
Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral
request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm
orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares Common
Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of
securities of the Company, including the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its
affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the
Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any
other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that
(i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day
after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of SPA
Warrants. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 1(f) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
properly give effect to such limitation.

-
(g) Insufficient Authorized
Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding
the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
100% of the number of shares of Common Stock (the "Required Reserve Amount") as
shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this
Warrant then outstanding (an "Authorized Share Failure"),
then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the
Company's
authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company
to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then
outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an
Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of
its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company
shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best
efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such
increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of
directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such
proposal.
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE
AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as
follows:
(a) Adjustment upon Issuance of
shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the
Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this
Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
(including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or
for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) for a consideration per share (the
"New Issuance Price")
less than a price (the "Applicable Price") equal to
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed
issuance or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance"), then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced, subject to the provisions of Section 2(a)(vi) hereto, to an
amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(a), the following
shall be applicable:
- 5
-
(i) Issuance of
Options. If the Company in any manner grants 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, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any 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(a)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of any 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 the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Security issuable upon exercise of such Option less any consideration paid or
payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the
granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon
conversion exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon
exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price
or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of
such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(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 the conversion, exercise or exchange 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 or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per
share. For the purposes of this Section 2(a)(ii), the "lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one
share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security less any
consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of
Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security and upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No
further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion,
exercise or exchange 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 this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other
provisions of this Section 2(a), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price or
number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or
sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or
Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any
Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such
increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price,
additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case
may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes
of this Section 2(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security
that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or
decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then
such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No
adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made if such adjustment would
result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the
number of Warrant Shares.

-
(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, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for
the Option Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in
such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the
difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any
consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of such other
securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value. If any shares
of 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 net amount received by the Company therefor. If
any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold
for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received
by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such
consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such security on the
date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in
connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities,
as the case may be. 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) Trading Days
after the tenth (10th) day
following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination
of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest
error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the
Company.
(v) Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares
of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in
Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will 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.
- 7
-
(vi) Exercise Floor
Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment pursuant
to this Section 2(a) shall cause the Exercise Price to be less than $1.40, as
adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,
reclassification or similar transaction.
(b) Voluntary Adjustment By
Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this
Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period
of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
(c) Adjustment upon Subdivision
or Combination of shares of Common Stock. If the Company at
any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and
the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If
the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines
(by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately
decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(c) shall become
effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination
becomes effective.
(d) Other
Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the
provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights,
phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board
of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided
that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(d) will increase the Exercise
Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant
to this Section 2.
3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF
ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of
shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time
after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder
would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum
Percentage) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such
Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record
holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in
such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right to
participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the
Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of
Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of
such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until
such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage.
- 8
-
4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Purchase
Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2
above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options,
Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the
"Purchase Rights"), then
the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the
exercise of this Warrant) 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 shares of Common Stock are
to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase
Rights.
(b) Fundamental
Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to
a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all
of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section (4)(b) 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 the SPA Warrants in exchange
for such SPA Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written
instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant,
including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for
the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental
Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital
stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of
this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the
Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent
Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or
listed for trading on an Eligible Market. 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 Warrant 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
Warrant 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 exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other
securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly
traded common stock or common shares (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity
(including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to
receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been
converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and
not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of
any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock
are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in
exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "Corporate Event"), the Company
shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have
the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the
consummation of the Corporate Event but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of
shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property)
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event,
such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever
(including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder
would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Corporate Event
had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Event. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in
a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required
Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and
equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be
applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this
Warrant.
- 9
-
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, at the request of the
Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day
after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity)
shall purchase this Warrant
from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days after
such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental
Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental
Transaction.
5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of
its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and
will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and
take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the
Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
(i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in
effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and
(iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action

Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or

independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by
the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant

(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and
nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for
any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this
Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder 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
holder of this Warrant 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.

15. SEVERABILITY. If
any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision
that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed
amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable,
and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as
so modified continues to express, without material change, the original
intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not
substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of
the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be
conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s)
with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
