Exercise and Duration of
Warrants.
(a) Exercise
Procedures. This Warrant shall be exercisable by the
registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the earlier of
(i) the Authorized Shares Date and (ii) the consummation of a Fundamental
Transaction through and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 p.m.,

exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. The
Company may not call or redeem any portion of this Warrant without the prior
written consent of the affected Holder. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, if the Authorized Shares Date has not occurred by June 30,
2009, then the Expiration Date shall be extended for each day thereafter that
the Authorized Shares Date has not occurred.
(b) Mandatory
Exercise. At the earliest time that the Company has a
sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to permit
(A) the exercise of all (and not less than all) of the Total Warrant Shares and
(B) the conversion of all (and not less than all) outstanding shares of the
Company’s Series A Interim Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock in
accordance with its terms (the “Authorized Shares Date”), the
Company shall provide at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such event
(including the notice contemplated under Section 9(e) to the extent there is an
adjustment to the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares), and upon
the expiration of the period set forth therein, all of the Warrant Shares shall
be deemed exercised for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the cashless exercise provisions of
Section 10(b) hereof. If the Holder desires to exercise this Warrant
for cash, the Holder may so notify the Company prior to the expiration of the
period set forth in such written notice, and the Holder may then exercise this
Warrant for cash on or prior to the expiration of such period.
(c) Put
Right. If the Authorized Shares Date has not occurred by June
30, 2009, then the Holder will have the right, at any time and from time to time
prior to the Authorized Shares Date, to require the Company to purchase all or
any portion of this Warrant for a purchase price, payable in cash within five
(5) Business Days after such request, equal to the Black Scholes value of the
portion of this Warrant to be so purchased on the date of such request
(calculated by the Company using (i) an expected volatility equal to the lesser
of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg
Financial Markets as of the trading day immediately preceding such date
(provided that if such information is not available on Bloomberg, actual
volatility will be as mutually agreed-upon by the Company and holders of a
majority in interest of the Warrants being purchased) and (ii) a time to
expiration equal to the lesser of 260 days and the actual number of days until
expiration of this Warrant).
5. Delivery of Warrant
Shares.
(a) To effect
exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant is
being exercised. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form
attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log)
at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise
Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to
purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three
Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver
to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
which, unless otherwise required by the Purchase Agreement, shall be free of
restrictive legends. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder
and subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided, that, the
Company may, but will not be required to change its transfer agent if its
current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the
Depository Trust Corporation. A “Date of Exercise” means the
date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise
Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed
and duly signed and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise
provisions set forth in this Warrant, payment of the Exercise Price for the
number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be
purchased.
3
(b) If by the
third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the
required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section
5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(c) In
addition to any other right available to the Holder, if by the third Trading Day
after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of
Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after
such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares
which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s
discretion, either (1) pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal to the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point
the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (2) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the
Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash
to the Holder in an amount by which (x) the Buy-In Price exceeds (y) the amount
obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was
required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by
(B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Date of
Exercise. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In.
(d) The
Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the
terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or
inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect
to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any
action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation
or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other
Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of
law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other
circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the
Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing
herein shall limit a Xxxxxx’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 Warrant Shares upon exercise
of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
4
6.
Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental
tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which
taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares
or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall
be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding
or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise
hereof.
7.
Replacement of
Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if
requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances
shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay
such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation
of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the
Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New
Warrant.
8.
Reservation of Warrant
Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued
and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the
number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account
the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment
of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly
and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9.
Certain
Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a
distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number
of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any
adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
5
(b) 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 (assuming, for this purpose, that this Warrant is exercisable in
full regardless of whether the Authorized Shares Date has occurred at such time)
immediately before the date on 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.
(c) Adjustments for Certain
Issuances. For so long as this Warrant shall remain
outstanding, if the Company shall, at any time and from time to
time:
(i) Issue
Additional Shares of Common Stock to the Company’s directors, officers,
employees or consultants pursuant to an employee benefit plan or similar
arrangement (which shall in any event exclude shares issued to such individuals
as a dividend or distribution or stock split or combination in which all holders
of Common Stock participate) (the “Management Retention Shares”),
then and in such event, the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal
to the product of (i) the quotient of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the issue of
Additional Shares of Common Stock divided by the aggregate number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the issue of Additional
Shares of Common Stock and (ii) the sum of the aggregate number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the issue of Additional
Shares of Common Stock and the aggregate number of Management Retention Shares
issued as of the date of such calculation. For purposes of this
Subsection 9(c)(i), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company pursuant to (i) restricted stock
grants, (ii) the exercise of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock, or (iii) the conversion or exchange
of equity securities of the Company, but shall exclude the options to purchase
or grants of restricted stock in the amount of 1,014,136,410 shares of Common
Stock contemplated by Section 4.7 (and Schedule 4.7) of the Purchase
Agreement.
(ii) Issue
additional warrants covering warrant shares that are part of the Total Warrant
Shares (which shall in any event exclude shares issued to individuals as a
dividend or distribution or stock split or combination in which all holders of
Common Stock participate) then and in such event, the aggregate number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a
number of Warrant Shares equal to the product of (i) the quotient of the
aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to the issue of such additional warrants divided by the
aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately
prior to the issue of such additional warrants and (ii) the sum of the aggregate
number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the
issue of such additional warrants and the aggregate number of warrant shares
underlying such additional warrants.
6
(d) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (assuming, for this
purpose, that this Warrant is exercisable in full regardless of whether the
Authorized Shares Date has occurred at such time) (the “Alternate
Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the
determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to
such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the
Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of
any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders
of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to
be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the
same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of
this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s
option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity (including,
without limitation, the Company) in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either
(1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant
and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right
to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon
exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase
price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if
later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black
Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date
of such request (calculated by the Company using (i) an expected volatility
equal to the lesser of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT
function on Bloomberg Financial Markets as of the trading day immediately
preceding such date (provided that if such information is not available on
Bloomberg, actual volatility will be as mutually agreed-upon by the Company and
holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being purchased) and (ii) a
time to expiration equal to the lesser of 260 days and the actual number of days
until expiration of this Warrant). The terms of any agreement
pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms
requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions
of this paragraph (d) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement
security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous
to a Fundamental Transaction.
(e) Number of Warrant
Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise
Price pursuant to this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be
purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as
the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.
7
(f) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest share, as applicable, except for calculations of Exercise Price per
share, which shall be made without any rounding. The number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such
shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) Notice of
Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant
to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such
adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted
Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the
transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the
Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and
to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
(h) Notice of Corporate
Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other
distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common
Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary,
(ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits
stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the
voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material
terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the extent such disclosure
would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public information to the
Holder) at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective
date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate
in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps
reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical
opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in
or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to
deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be described in such notice.
10. Payment of Exercise
Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following
manners:
(a) Cash
Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds;
or
(b) Cashless
Exercise. The Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise
Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company
shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as
follows:
X = Y
[(A-B)/A]
8
where:
X = the
number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised.
A = the
closing price (or average of the closing bid and asked if there is no closing
price) for the Trading Day immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date.
B = the
Exercise Price.
For
purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on
the date this Warrant was originally issued.
11.
No Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued
in connection with any exercise of this 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 closing price of one
Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the date of
exercise.
12.
Notices. Any

without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed
given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number
specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading
Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in

mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv)
upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be
given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i)

(000) 000-0000 (or such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing
in accordance with this Section), or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or
facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or
facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with
this Section.
13.
Warrant
Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint
a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any
new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any
consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or
any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall
be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further
act. 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 the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant
Register.

Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
