3. Exercise of Warrant.
3.1. Exercise in Full. Subject to the provisions hereof (including Section 10 hereof), at any time on or after May 22, 2008, this Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder hereof by surrender of this Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such Holder, to the Company at its principal office set forth at the head of this Warrant (or such other location as the Company from time to time may advise the Holder in writing), accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by (b) the Purchase Price per share on the date of such exercise.

Subject to the provisions hereof (including Section 10 hereof), at any time on or following May 22, 2008, this Warrant may be exercised in part by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in Section 3.1 except that the amount payable by the Holder upon any partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the subscription at the end hereof by (b) the Purchase Price per share on the date of such exercise. Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense shall forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes and subject to the provisions of Section 2) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such shares issuable prior to such partial exercise of this Warrant minus the number of such shares designated by the Holder in the subscription at the end hereof.
3.3. Certain Exercises. If an exercise of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a registered public offering or sale of the Company, such exercise may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned on the consummation of the public offering or sale of the Company, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed effective until the consummation of such transaction.
4. Delivery of Stock Certificates on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, the Company at its own expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes and subject to the provisions of Section 2) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock or Other Securities to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then current Market Price of one full share.
4
5. Adjustment for Dividends.
(a) In case at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall at any time declare or pay a dividend upon its Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise hereof shall be increased by the number of shares that would have been issued pursuant to such dividend with respect to the shares acquirable hereunder as of the record date for such dividend.
(b) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Original Issue Date is decreased by a combination or reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price per share shall be increased in proportion to such decrease. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Original Issue Date is increased by a forward stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise hereof shall be increased by the number of shares that would have been issued had this Warrant been fully exercised as of the date of such forward stock split or other transaction resulting in an increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(c) Upon each adjustment to the Purchase Price per share, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Purchase Price per share resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price per share in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Purchase Price per share resulting from such adjustment.
6. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. In case the Company after the Original Issue Date shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other Person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 3 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive (and the Company or its successors or assigns shall be entitled to deliver), in lieu of the Underlying Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto. Upon receipt of such stock and other securities and property (including cash), if any, the rights of the Holder under this Warrant shall terminate and cease and this Warrant shall expire and be of no force and effect. In any such case, the Company (or its successors or assigns) shall be entitled to make appropriate adjustments in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such reorganization, merger, consolidation or dissolution. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or dissolution, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall confirm or assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to each Holder the shares of stock, cash, other securities or assets to which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, each Holder may be entitled to and all other obligations of the Company under this Warrant.

7. Further Assurances; Reports. The Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Underlying Securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.

The Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.
9. Notices of Record Date. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of its stockholders for the purpose of determining the stockholders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution (other than a quarterly dividend payable solely in cash), or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining stockholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, or
(b) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
then and in each such event the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, as of which the Holders of record of Underlying Securities shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Underlying Securities for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

12. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or other collateral reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company and its transfer agent or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
