If the Company shall at any time during the Exercise Period subdivide the Common Stock of the Company, by split-up or otherwise, or combine such securities, or issue additional shares or share equivalents of such securities as a dividend with respect to the Common Stock of the Company, then in the case of a subdivision or dividend, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price proportionately decreased, and in the case of a combination, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price proportionately increased Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend. |
| (b) | Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any of the following transactions that occurs during the Exercise Period (a “Transaction”): (i) a reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or dividend provided for in Section 4(a) above), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity in which the Company shall not be the surviving entity, or a merger in which the Company shall be the surviving entity but the shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation are converted by virtue of the merger or consolidation into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, (iii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other corporation or other entity in one transaction or a series of related transactions, or (iv) other similar transaction which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then as a condition of such Transaction, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any time during the Exercise Period to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable in connection with such Transaction by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such Transaction. If the per share consideration payable to holders of Common Stock in connection with any such Transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined reasonably in good faith by the Board. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions and to the capital stock or securities of any other corporation or other entity that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. |
| 3 |
| (c) | Distributions of Other Property.

| 4 |
| (e) | Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event, the adjusted Exercise Price and of the number of Warrant Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. |

| (i) | the surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Company at its principal offices; |
| (ii) | the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares being purchased, such payment to be in the form of a wire payment to a bank account designated in writing by the Company, a certified or official bank check or such other manner as approved in writing by the Company; and |
| (iii) | the Holder’s receipt of any equity securities of the Company issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be subject to the Holder’s execution and delivery to the Company of such other customary and reasonable related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Company. |
| 5 |
| (b) | Notwithstanding Section 5(a)(ii), if at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date and during the remainder of the Exercise Period there is no effective shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act (a “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”) registering, or no current prospectus available for, the issuance by the Company or resale by the Holder of all of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (any Warrant Shares that are covered by an effective Resale Shelf Registration statement and prospectus, “Registered Warrant Shares”), then, to the extent that this Warrant is exercised for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of the number of Registered Warrant Shares at such time (the “Excess Unregistered Warrant Shares”), only at such time this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, with respect to such Excess Unregistered Warrant Shares, by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula: |
| X = | Y * (A-B) / A, where |
| X = | the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder; |
| Y = | the total number of Excess Unregistered Warrant Shares for which Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 5; |
| A = | the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock for each of the ten (10) trading days ending immediately prior to the time of exercise as set forth in the Notice of Exercise (“Exercise Date”), divided by (y) ten (10); and |
| B = | the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date. |
| (c) | To the extent cashless exercise is permitted pursuant to this Section 5, the Holder may also elect a combination of the payment options described in Section 5(b) and Section 5(a)(ii). For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Act, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Issuance Date. |
| (d) | Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. |
| 6. | Issuance of Common Stock; Delivery of New Warrant. |
| (a) | This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued. The Company covenants that the Warrant Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will have authorized and reserved, solely for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the capital shares may be listed or any preemptive or similar rights of any other person. |
| 6 |
| (b) | Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with this Section 5 and Section 10, deliver to the Holder a new warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant, including being deemed to have the same original Issuance Date hereunder. |
| 7. | No Fractional Common Stock or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. Instead, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect or shall round up, as nearly as practicable to the nearest whole share, the number of Warrant Shares. |
| 8. | Representations of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as follows: |
| (a) | The execution and delivery of this Warrant has been duly and properly authorized by all requisite corporate action of the Company and the Board, and no consent of any other person is required as a prerequisite to the validity and enforceability of this Warrant that has not been obtained. The Company has the full legal right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Warrant and to perform its obligations hereunder. |

In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. |

| 8 |
| (b) | Notwithstanding Section 10(a) above, if either (i) there is an effective registration statement by the Company registering the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or the resale of the Warrant Shares by, the Holder or (ii) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume, manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, then no legend described in Section 10(a) shall be required on any Warrant Shares, and the Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system if the Company is then a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise promptly (but in no event later than the third (3rd) Business Day) after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Exercise and the other items required to be delivered by the Holder for the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 5, including payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. |
| 11. | Redemption. |
| (a) | This entire Warrant may be redeemed, at the sole election of the Company, at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date and during the remainder of the Exercise Period, at the office of the Company, upon the notice referred to in Section 11(b) below, at the price of $0.0001 per Warrant Share that can be purchased under this Warrant, which amount shall adjust after the Issuance Date in the same manner as the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 4 hereof (the “Redemption Price”), provided that the closing sales price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $5.00 per share (which amount shall adjust after the Issuance Date in the same manner as the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 4 hereof), on each of twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. |

The Company shall provide a notice of the redemption to the Holder (the “Notice of Redemption”) in accordance with Section 17 not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date. This Warrant may be exercised at any time after the notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company in accordance with this Section 11(b) and prior to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Period”). On and after the Redemption Date, the Holder shall have no further rights under this Warrant except to receive, upon surrender of this Warrant, the Redemption Price. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant and purchase Warrant Shares during the Redemption Period, the Holder shall be entitled to cashless exercise under Section 5(b) with respect to any Excess Unregistered Warrant Shares. |

| 12. | No Transfer Taxes. Issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, governmental charges or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or, subject to Sections 10 and 13, in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any transfer taxes, governmental charges or other incidental expenses that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to any person other than the Holder. |

Any approved transfer of this Warrant shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company at its principal offices, and the payment by the Holder of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the holders one or more appropriate new warrants. |
| (b) | The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company, the Holder will not Transfer (as defined below) the Warrant Shares that are issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, except that (x) the Holder may Transfer up to sixty thousand (60,000) Warrant Shares on each trading day (which amount shall adjust after the Issuance Date in the same manner as the number of Warrant Shares in accordance with Section 4 hereof), and (y) the Holder may Transfer such Warrant Shares pursuant to a liquidation, merger, consolidation, tender offer, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in the Company for cash, securities or other property. For purposes of this Warrant, “Transfer” shall mean the (i) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii), whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Warrant Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise. |

| 14. | Registration Rights. |
| (a) | If during the Registration Period (as defined below) the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock or other Company equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, Company equity securities, by the Company for its own account and/or for security holders of the Company for their account (other than a registration statement (i) filed solely in connection with an offering of securities to directors, employees or independent contractors of the Company pursuant to any stock incentive or other benefit plan, (ii) filed on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor to such forms, (iii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing security holders, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (v) solely in connection with a merger, share capital exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, amalgamation, subsequent liquidation, or other similar business transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property of a non-capital raising bona fide business transaction), then the Company shall (A) give written notice of such proposed filing (a “Registration Notice”) to Holder as soon as practicable but in no event less than fifteen (15) days before the anticipated filing date, which Registration Notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (B) offer to Holder in such Registration Notice the right to elect, by providing written notice thereof (an “Acceptance Notice”) to the Company within ten (10) days following receipt by Holder of such Registration Notice, for the Company to register all or a portion of the Holder’s Warrant Shares (a “Registration”) by having the Company register the resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder. Subject to the terms of this Section 14, the Company shall include in such registration statement such Warrant Shares that the Holder requests in the Acceptance Notice. Holder agrees to submit an Acceptance Notice in response to any Registration Notice that relates to a registration statement that would provide for the registration of the resale of any of the Warrant Shares on a Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Holder shall be under no obligation to submit an Acceptance Notice with respect to any registration other than a Resale Shelf Registration Statement, and Holder shall with respect to a Resale Shelf Registration Statement only be required to submit an Acceptance Notice with respect to the number of Warrant Shares to be included therein. |
| 11 |
| (b) | The Company, whether based on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by security holders making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations or for any other reason, may withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. If at any time after giving a Registration Notice and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holder, and (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Warrant Shares of the Holder in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Warrant Shares of the Holder for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Holder may elect to withdraw the Holder’s request for inclusion of the Holder’s Warrant Shares in any Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. If the offering pursuant to a Registration is to be an underwritten offering, then the Holder must permit the sale or other disposition of the Holder’s Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Registration and the Holder shall be responsible for any fees or commissions due to such underwriters in connection with the sale of the Holder Warrant Shares (“Selling Expenses”). If (x) the managing underwriter or underwriters for a Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company in writing that the dollar amount or number of securities which the Company on behalf of itself and/or its security holders desires to sell exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, timing, distribution method or probability of success of such offering or (y) the SEC determines that the dollar amount or number of securities to be registered under the registration statement exceeds the maximum dollar amount or number that may be registered under such registration statement in accordance with applicable law (including any SEC rules, regulations, policies or positions) (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, in either of clauses (x) or (y) above, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in any such offering only the Maximum Number of Securities allocated as follows: (A) first, the securities that the Company desires to sell; (B) then, the number of securities required to be included in such offering, if any, by other security holders of the Company exercising any demand registration rights that such other security holders have pursuant to written contractual arrangements with the Company; and (C) finally, the securities of Company security holders exercising piggy-back registration rights pursuant to written contractual arrangements with the Company, including the Holder pursuant to this Section 14, pro-rata among all such security holders exercising piggy-back registration rights. All expenses other than Selling Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications in any registration under this Section 14, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne and paid by the Company. |

| (c) | The Holder’s right to request, and the Company’s obligation to provide, inclusion of any of the Holder’s Warrant Shares in any Registration pursuant to this Section 14 shall only apply during the period (the “Registration Period”) of the Exercise Period, and, if this Warrant is exercised, at any time thereafter when Holder owns Warrants Shares that are not either (i) eligible for resale by the Holder without volume, manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) registered under an effective registration statement (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to provide a Registration for any Warrant Shares that are already covered the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii)). Further, the Company has the right to exclude any Warrant Shares of the Holder from any registration statement in the event the Company is contractually obligated to exclude such securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 13 shall continue to apply to any Warrant Shares that are registered in a Registration pursuant to this Section 14. |
| (d) | In connection with any registration statement for which the Holder has elected to exercise its Registration rights pursuant to this Section 14, the Holder agrees to (i) cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation of such registration statement as it pertains to the Holder or the Holder’s Warrant Shares, and (ii) respond within three (3) Business Days to any written request by the Company to provide or verify information regarding the Holder or the Warrant Shares being registered on behalf of the Holder that may be required to be included in such registration statement and related prospectus pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time in connection with the preparation of and for inclusion in such registration statement and related prospectus. |
| (e) | With respect to any registration statement that the Holder has exercised its registration rights hereunder to include Warrant Shares, the Company shall: |
| (i) | use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) register or qualify the Warrant Shares by the time the applicable registration statement is declared effective by the SEC under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Holder may reasonably request in writing, (B) keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to this Warrant, and (C) do any and all other similar acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Holder to consummate the disposition of the Warrant Shares in each such jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (I) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction as a foreign corporation or to register as a broker or dealer in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify or register but for this Agreement, (II) take any action that would cause it to become subject to any taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject to such taxation or (III) take any action that would subject it to the general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; |
| 13 |
| (ii) | promptly notify the Holder of the receipt, and provide copies to the Holder, of any written comments or other correspondence from staff of the SEC with respect to any applicable registration statement and use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly respond to such comments and provide copies of such responses to the Holder; |
| (iii) | as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare and file with the SEC, if necessary, such amendments and supplements to the registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document as may be reasonably necessary to cause or maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such registration statement is required to be kept effective in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the rules thereunder with respect to the disposition of all Warrant Shares covered by such registration statement and the instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company; |
| (iv) | make available to its stockholders, as soon as practicable but no later than ninety (90) days following the end of the 12-month period beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of each registration statement filed to register the Warrant Shares an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; |
| (v) | in connection with the preparation and filing of any applicable registration statement, prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, (A) give the Holder, and its counsel the opportunity to review and provide comments on such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (B) fairly and in good faith consider such comments in any such documents prior to the filing thereof as the counsel to the Holder may reasonably request, and (C) make available such of the Company’s representatives as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder for discussion of such documents; and |
| (vi) | take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Warrant Shares included in each such registration. |
| 14 |
| (f) | If any Warrant Shares of the Holder are included a registration statement pursuant to this Section 14: |
| (i) | To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any of their respective partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively with the Holder, “Holder Indemnitees”), as follows: (A) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, action, cost, judgment and expense whatsoever (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals), arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the applicable registration statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which the Warrant Shares were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (B) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment and expense whatsoever, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Holder; and (C) against any and all out-of-pocket cost or expense whatsoever (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, defending against or participating in (as a witness or otherwise) any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any third party or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (A) or (B) above; provided, however, that the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 14(f)(i) does not apply to the Holder with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, action, cost, judgment or expense to the extent arising out of, resulting from or based upon (I) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder expressly for use in the applicable registration statement (or any amendment thereto) or the applicable prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (II) the Holder’s failure to deliver an amended or supplemental prospectus furnished to the Holder by the Company (as and to the extent that the same was required by law to be delivered), if such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred at or after the time furnished to the Holder by the Company and prior to any sale of securities covered by such prospectus. |
| 15 |
| (ii) | To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any of their respective partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (including each director and officer of the Company who signed a registration statement) (collectively with the Company, “Company Indemnitees”), as follows: (A) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, action, cost, judgment and expense whatsoever (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals), arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the applicable registration statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which the Warrant Shares were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (B) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment and expense whatsoever, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and (C) against any and all out-of-pocket cost or expense whatsoever (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, defending against or participating in (as a witness or otherwise) any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any third party or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (A) or (B) above; provided, however, that the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 14(f)(ii) shall only apply with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, action, cost judgment or expense to the extent arising out of, resulting from or based upon (I) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder expressly for use in the applicable registration statement (or any amendment thereto) or the applicable prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (II) the Holder’s failure to deliver an amended or supplemental prospectus furnished to the Holder by the Company (as and to the extent that the same was required by law to be delivered), if such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred at or after the time furnished to the Holder by the Company and prior to any sale of securities covered by such prospectus. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14(f)(ii), Holder (and any permitted assignee) shall not be required to indemnity Company Indemnitees under this Section 14(f)(ii) with respect to any amount in excess of the amount of the total net proceeds to the Holder or such permitted assignee, as the case may be, from sales of the Warrant Shares of the Holder under the registration statement or prospectus, as applicable, that is the subject of the indemnification claim. |
| 16 |
| (iii) | In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sections 14(f)(i) and 14(f)(ii) above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction to any indemnified party although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Holder shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages, actions, costs, judgments and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the Holder, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holder on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, actions, costs, judgments or expenses. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 14(f)(iii) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14(f)(iii), the Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that it would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 14(f)(ii) had been available under the circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 14(f)(iii), each Holder Indemnitee shall have the same rights to contribution as the Holder, and each Company Indemnitee shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. In addition, no person shall be obligated to contribute hereunder for any amounts in payment for any settlement of any action or claim, effected without such person’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). |
| 17 |
| 15. | Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Holder hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns. |
| 16. | Amendments and Waivers. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only in a writing signed by the Company and the Holder. No waiver of any term or condition or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will operate as a waiver of, or any estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other breach or failure. The single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy provided herein will not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy except where expressly stated in this Warrant. |
