rights.
1.4. Trustee

event that a bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for

2. Procedure

have
been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As
soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part,
and
in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its
expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause
to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder
(upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in
compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for
the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on
such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would

of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the
Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) determined as provided herein.

3. Effect
of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.
3.1. Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger, Etc.
In case
at any time or from time to time, the Company 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, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, if applicable,
proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder,
on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 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 receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on 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, all subject
to
further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2. Dissolution.
In the
event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with
any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities
and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder
pursuant to Section 3.1 to the extent the Holder has exercised the warrant
following the transfer of assets, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the
Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its
principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder (the “Trustee”).
3.3. Continuation
of Terms.
Upon
any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution
following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall
continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable
to
the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise
of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation
or
merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as
the
case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other
securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether
or
not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as
provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full
force
and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section
3, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable)
receivable by the Holder will be delivered to the Holder or the Trustee as
contemplated by Section 3.2.
4. Extraordinary
Events Regarding Common Stock.
In the
event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock
as
a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred
stock issued by the Company (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the
Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be
adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator
of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise
Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening
of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number
of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to
a
number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that
would
otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such
exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that
would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and
(b)
the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise
(taking into account the provisions of this Section 4). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value
of
the Common Stock.
4
5. Certificate
as to Adjustments.
In each
case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense
will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee
to
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment
is
based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or
receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the
number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed
to
be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common
Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided
in
this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate
to
the Holder and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section
11 hereof).
6. Reservation
of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.
The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this
Warrant.
7. Assignment;
Exchange of Warrant.
Subject
to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights
evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a
“Transferor”)
in
whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the
Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the
“Transferor
Endorsement Form”)
and
together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating
compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without
limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel (at
the Company’s expense) that such transfer is exempt from the registration
requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but
with
payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and
deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like
tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in
such
Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”),
calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares
of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered
by
the Transferor.
5
8. Replacement
of Warrant.
On
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 of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement
or
security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the
case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the
Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.
9. Registration
Rights.
The
Holder has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These
registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered
into by the Company and Holder dated as of the date hereof, as the same may
be
amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time.
10. Maximum
Exercise.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder
be
entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion
of
this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (a) the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than
shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the
ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation
on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (b) the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made,
would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any
amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock
(whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates
beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate”
means
any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with
a
person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. For purposes of the proviso to the second preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G
thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (a) of such proviso.
The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon
provision of no less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company and
(y) shall automatically become null and void following notice to the Company
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Holder
and the Company (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time
to
time, the “Purchase
Agreement”)),
except that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder at a price
below $4.37 per share pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase
Agreement, any Related Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or
otherwise, shall not exceed an aggregate of 4,001,769 shares of Common Stock
(subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other
similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Maximum
Common Stock Issuance”),
unless the issuance of Common Shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common
Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any
point in time and from time to time the number of shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related
Agreement or otherwise, together with the number of shares of Common Stock
that
would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the event of a conversion
pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related
Agreement or otherwise, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but
for
this Section 10, the Company shall promptly call a shareholders meeting to
solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock
hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.
6
11. Warrant
Agent.
The
Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the Warrant, appoint an
agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant
to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the
foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the
case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.
12. Transfer
on the Company’s Books.
Until
this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat
the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
13. Notices,
Etc.
All
notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall be mailed
by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address
as
may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until
any
such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address
of,
the last Holder who has so furnished an address to the Company.
14. Miscellaneous.
This
Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement
of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. THIS WARRANT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. ANY ACTION BROUGHT
CONCERNING THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS WARRANT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY
IN THE STATE COURTS OF NEW YORK OR IN THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE
OF
NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE HOLDER MAY CHOOSE TO WAIVE THIS PROVISION
AND BRING AN ACTION OUTSIDE THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The individuals executing
this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of
such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled
to
recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. In the
event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under
any
applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which
may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise
affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated
in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule
of
construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party
against the other party.
