(q)            Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(r)            Intellectual Property Rights. The Company owns, possesses or can acquire on reasonable terms sufficient trademarks, service marks, trade names, patents, copyrights (including registrations and applications for any of the foregoing), domain names, licenses, approvals, trade secrets, know how, inventions, technology and other similar rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted as set forth in the SEC Documents. To the Company’s knowledge, the operation of the business of the Company, as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted in the SEC Documents, together with the Company’s use of the Company’s Intellectual Property Rights, does not conflict with, infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, no actions, suits, claims or proceedings have been asserted, or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company alleging any of the foregoing or seeking to challenge, deny or restrict the operation of the business of the Company and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company has not received any notice of a claim of infringement, misappropriation or conflict with Intellectual Property Rights of others, except for such claims that would not, individually or the in aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, any Intellectual Property Rights licensed to the Company have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened material action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property Rights, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such challenge, except for such actions, suits, proceedings, or claims that would not, individually or the in aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company is not a party to or bound by any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person or entity that are required to be set forth in the SEC Documents. None of the technology or intellectual property used by the Company in its business has been obtained or is being used by the Company in violation of any contractual obligation binding on the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its officers, directors or employees or otherwise in violation of the rights of any persons.

The Company has duly and properly filed or caused to be filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”), foreign patent authorities and/or international patent authorities all patent applications disclosed in the SEC Documents as owned by the Company (the “Company Patent Applications”). The Company has complied with the PTO’s duty of candor and disclosure for the Company Patent Applications and has made no material misrepresentation during prosecution of the Company Patent Applications. To the Company’s knowledge, the Company Patent Applications disclose patentable subject matters, correctly name the inventors of the claimed subject matter and the Company has not been notified of any inventorship challenges nor has any interference been declared or provoked. In addition, no material fact is known by the Company that would preclude the issuance of patents with respect to the Company Patent Applications, or that would render such patents, if issued, invalid or unenforceable.

The Company has used its commercially reasonable efforts, but in no event less than those efforts which would accord with normal industry practice, to maintain the confidentiality of the trade secrets and other confidential Intellectual Property Rights used in connection with the Company’s business. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all material trade secrets used in connection with the Company’s business are valid and protectable. Furthermore, (i) there has been no misappropriation of any material trade secrets or other material confidential Intellectual Property Rights used in connection with the business of the Company by any person; (ii) no employee, independent contractor or agent of the Company has misappropriated any trade secrets of any other person in the course of performance as an employee, independent contractor or agent of the Company; (iii) no third party is using or has been granted any rights to use any trade secret or other confidential Intellectual Property Rights material to the business of the Company; and (iv) no employee, independent contractor or agent of the Company is in default or breach of any term of any employment agreement, nondisclosure agreement, assignment of invention agreement or similar agreement or contract relating in any way to the protection, ownership, development, use or transfer of Intellectual Property Rights, in each case, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(s)            Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

(t)            Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference.

(u)            Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(v)            Transfer Taxes. On the Closing Date, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to each Purchaser hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.

(w)            Taxes. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all federal, state and local income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges, fines or penalties that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its financial statements provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material tax liability of which has not been finally determined and all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary have no actual knowledge of a basis for any such claim.

(x)            Transactions with Affiliates and Employees. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, none of the officers or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or a Subsidiary and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

4.            Purchasers’ Representations. In connection with the receipt of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents to the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

(a)            No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement do not and will not contravene or constitute a default under, or violation of, or be subject to penalties under, (i) any agreement (or require the consent of any party under any such agreement that has not been made or obtained) to which such Purchaser is a party, or (ii) any judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Purchaser, except where such contravention, default, violation or failure to obtain a consent, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to impair Purchaser’s ability to perform fully any obligation which Purchaser has or will have under this Agreement.

(b)            Accredited Investor Status. Such Purchaser understands the definition of the term “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, and such Purchaser qualifies as an accredited investor.

(c)            No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or under any applicable provision of state law in violation of the Securities Act or such applicable provision of state law. Such Purchaser does not have any present intention to transfer the Securities to any other person or entity in such a “distribution;” provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser (i) does not agree to hold any of the Securities it acquires for any minimum or other specific term and (ii) reserves the right to dispose of any or all the Securities it acquires at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or a registration exemption under the Securities Act and pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement.

(d)            Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of such Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale except for the registration rights granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

(e)            Information. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

(f)            No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

(g)            Transfer or Resale. Such Purchaser understands that except for the registration rights granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, (“Rule 144”) (or a successor rule thereto); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

(h)            Legends. Such Purchaser understands that the book entry statements representing the Preferred Shares and, until such time as the resale of the Underlying Shares has been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by Section 8 hereof, the book entry statements representing the Securities, except as set forth below, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such Securities):

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN] [THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a book entry statement without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act and such holder has requested legend removal in connection with a bona fide registered sale, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of a law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and such Securities are no longer required to bear a restrictive legend, or (iii) such Securities have been validly sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 and such holder has furnished the Company with customary documentation to effect such legend removal.

(i)            Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Enforceability Exceptions.

5.            Covenants.

(a)            Reasonable Best Efforts. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts timely to satisfy each of the covenants and conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

Until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Purchasers shall have sold all the Underlying Shares, (ii) the date on which all the Underlying Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without (x) the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as to such securities and (y) volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iii) the date which is two (2) years from the Effective Date (the “Reporting Period”), the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination.

(c)            Listing of Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and in the time and manner as required by the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company shall prepare and file with the Nasdaq Stock Market an additional shares listing notification covering all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the exercise of the Warrants. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other trading market, it will then include in such application all of the Common Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Common Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other trading market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all commercially reasonable actions to continue the listing and trading of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

(d)            Fees. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or broker’s commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Purchaser) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with the sale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants to the Purchasers.

(e)            Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Warrant Shares and Preferred Shares for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes, including the purchase of any pending or future acquisitions, and shall not use such proceeds: (i) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and repayment of obligations outstanding as of the date of this Agreement consistent with prior practices or prepayment of obligations outstanding as of the date of this Agreement), (ii) for the redemption of any Common Stock or equivalents thereof, (iii) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (iv) in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department or similar applicable regulations..

(f)            Additional Investment Right. On or prior to the date that is 20 Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser or entities affiliated with Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to an additional $15,000,000 of Preferred Shares and Warrants on substantially identical terms to the transactions contemplated hereby. Upon exercise of such right, the Company shall cooperate with Purchaser or entities affiliated with Purchaser to promptly prepare and execute a securities purchase agreement in form substantially identical to this Agreement, with such conforming changes as may be appropriate to effect the intent of this provision.

6.            Closing Conditions.

(iii)            No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(i)            The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on the date hereof and on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of such date (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which are accurate as of such specified date). The Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date.

(iv)            The Common Stock (A) shall be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and (B) shall not have been suspended, as of the Closing Date, by the SEC or the Nasdaq Stock Market from trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market nor, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, shall suspension by the SEC or the Nasdaq Stock Market have been threatened, as of the Closing Date, either (x) in writing by the SEC or the Nasdaq Stock Market or (y) by falling below the minimum listing maintenance requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

7.            Participation Rights to Future Securities Issuances.

7.1            Participation Right. If the Company sells any shares of a series of Preferred Stock and/or rights, options, or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock or of a series of Preferred Stock, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of a series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (“Qualifying New Securities”); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary any equity, options, warrant or similar equity-linked issuances to employees, consultants or vendors of the Company shall be excluded and not be deemed to be a Qualifying New Securities herein, the Company shall give notice to the Purchasers within 30 days after the issuance of Qualifying New Securities. Such notice shall describe the type, price, and terms of the Qualifying New Securities. Each Purchaser shall have 20 days from the date notice is given to elect to purchase up to the number of Qualifying New Securities which equals the greater of (x) that number of Qualifying New Securities having an aggregate purchase price equal to 400% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser for Preferred Stock and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) the proportion that the Common Stock then held by such Purchaser (including all shares of Common Stock then issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any shares of preferred stock of the Company and any other securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for (in each case, directly or indirectly), Common Stock, including options and warrants (“Derivative Securities”) then held by such Purchaser) bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Preferred Stock and other Derivative Securities). The closing of such sale shall occur within 45 days of the date notice is given to the Purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser, or Affiliate (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) thereof, shall be entitled to purchase Qualifying New Securities hereunder in an amount that would result in the Purchaser, in the aggregate and together with any Affiliate of such Purchaser, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase Qualifying New Securities.

7.2          Termination. The covenants set forth in Section 7.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the redemption or conversion in full of the Preferred Shares.

8.            Registration Rights. The Company agrees that, within reasonable promptness, and in any event within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale by the Purchasers of the Underlying Shares and an aggregate number of 500,000 Dividend Shares issuable as payment of the Preferred Stock dividend at the Purchaser’s option (the “Registration Statement”) on behalf of the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Registration Statement shall register a number of Underlying Shares equal to the number of Underlying Reserved Shares and 500,000 Dividend Shares. In the event that the number of Underlying Shares registered on the Registration Statement is insufficient for the number of Underlying Shares to be issued at any point in time upon the conversion of Preferred Shares, the payment of the Preferred Stock dividend in Dividend Shares and/or the exercise of the Warrants (a “Subsequent Issuance”), the Company agrees to file with the SEC a separate registration statement within 30 days of such Subsequent Issuance, and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, to increase the number of Underlying Shares registered thereunder by an amount sufficient to register the number of Underlying Shares to be issued in such Subsequent Issuance. The Company agrees to cause such Registration Statement or another shelf registration statement that includes the Underlying Shares, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)) cease to hold any Underlying Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Purchasers are able to sell all of their Underlying Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 within 90 days without the volume or manner of sale limitations of such rule. The Purchasers agree to disclose their ownership to the Company upon request to assist it in making the determination with respect to Rule 144 described in clause (iii) above. In no event shall the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)) be identified as statutory underwriters in the Registration Statement, unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the SEC or another regulatory agency; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)) be identified as statutory underwriters in the Registration Statement, the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)) will have an opportunity to withdraw their Underlying Shares from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Underlying Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Underlying Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Underlying Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Underlying Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. The Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)) acknowledge and agree that the Company may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that would adversely affect the Company that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, provided, that, (I) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (II) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)) of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company’s obligations to include the Underlying Shares for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)) furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)), the securities of the Company held by the Purchasers (or their Permitted Transferee(s)) and the intended method of disposition of such Underlying Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Underlying Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

9.            Indemnification

(a)            To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Purchaser and its directors, executive officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees, and agents and each Person controlling such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each a “Purchaser Party”), against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 9(d) below), arising out of or based on any (i) breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (ii) action instituted against a Purchaser Party in any capacity, or any of them or their respective affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or (iii) untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereof, or other document prepared by the Company and incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse each Purchaser Party, for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred and documented in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is related to the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 9 respecting sales of the Securities, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective or in an amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) which meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (each, a “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any such Purchaser or any such controlling Person, if a copy of a Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Purchaser for delivery was not furnished to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim or damage.

(b)            Each Purchaser will severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 9(d) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, and each Person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred and documented in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided that the indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such claim, loss, damage or liability results from the fact that the Final Prospectus was not made available to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Purchaser’s aggregate liability pursuant to this subsection shall not exceed the net proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Underlying Shares included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)            Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 9(c) (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent. No Indemnifying Party, in its defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d)            If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9(d) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Purchaser has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.

(the “First Reset Date”), the Company shall pay, subject to Section 4(c), if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds of the Company, on each Dividend Payment Date for the applicable Payment Period or Payment Periods dividends on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Dividends”) at a rate per annum equal to 7.50% of the Liquidation Preference per share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Dividend Rate”), payable in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii) below. For each Payment Period beginning on the First Reset Date, the Dividend Rate shall be equal to the prior Payment Period’s Dividend Rate, plus 1.50%. Subject to Section 4(c), to the extent not paid in cash, whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not the payment of such dividends is then permitted under Delaware law, whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared, and whether or not any agreements to which the Company is a party prohibit the current payment of dividends, including any agreement relating to the Company’s indebtedness, Dividends on each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall accrue daily from and after the Original Issue Date of such share and shall compound on a quarterly basis on each Dividend Payment Date (i.e., no dividends shall accrue on other dividends unless and until the first Dividend Payment Date for such other dividends has passed). The Accrued Dividends, to the extent unpaid, shall in all cases be payable upon a Liquidation pursuant to Section 6 or upon any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7. Dividend payments shall be aggregated per Holder and shall be made to the nearest cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward).

(ii)            Each Dividend if, as and when such Dividends are declared by the Board of Directors, shall be paid to the Holders in cash or, at the option of the Holder, in shares of Common Stock. Any shares of Common Stock issued in payment of a Dividend on Preferred Stock shall be valued at the closing price of the last Trading Day preceding the record date designated by the Board of Directors relating to such Dividends. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, until the Company has obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company may not issue shares of Common Stock in payment of a Dividend to the extent such payment would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

(iii)           Each Dividend shall be paid pro rata to the Holders. Each Dividend shall be payable to the Holders as they appear on the Register at the Close of Business on the date which is 15 days preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date (such date, an “Dividend Payment Record Date”).

(b)         (a)         If the Holders elect to receive a cash dividend payment and the Company fails to make the corresponding cash dividend payment (a “Dividend Nonpayment”) with respect to three or more consecutive or non-consecutive Payment Periods, the Dividend Rate on the Preferred Stock will increase an additional 0.25% per annum commencing immediately following the third Payment Period for which there has been a Dividend Nonpayment and will increase an additional 0.25% per annum every third succeeding Dividend Nonpayment (whether the Payment Periods to which such Dividend Nonpayments relate are consecutive or non-consecutive); provided, however, the maximum Dividend Rate on the Preferred Stock (after giving effect to Section 4(a)(i) and this Section 4(b)) shall be capped at 12.0% per annum.

(c)            If the date relating to a Liquidation pursuant to Section 6, upon any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7, or upon any redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8, respectively, is after a Dividend Payment Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock but occurs on or prior to the next Dividend Payment Date, then the Holder of such share of Series C Preferred Stock at the Close of Business on such Dividend Payment Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding the related Liquidation, conversion or redemption, as applicable, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Dividend Payment Date, such declared Dividend on such share of Series C Preferred Stock. Except as provided in this Section 4(c), Dividends on any share of Preferred Stock will cease to accumulate from and after the date relating to a Liquidation pursuant to Section 6, upon any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7, or upon any redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8, as applicable.

Section 5.         Voting Rights. The Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company then entitled to vote with the Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock. With respect to such vote, each Holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws. With respect to any matter submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible on the record date for determining holders of Common Stock entitled to vote on such matter (such date, the “Applicable Record Date”); provided, (i) that the aggregate number of votes to which a holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled shall be reduced by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to such holder pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) as adjusted pursuant to Section 9 hereunder; (ii) that until the Company has obtained the Requisite Shareholder Approval, the amount set forth in the foregoing clause (a) shall not exceed an amount equal to: (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock into which all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock could be converted as of the Applicable Record Date without violating the Exchange Cap or Beneficial Ownership Limitation, divided by (y) the total number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Applicable Record Date; and (iii) that for purposes of determining the number of votes each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to pursuant to this Section 5, the Conversion Price shall not be less than $2.33. As long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series C Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (ii) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of Preferred Stock, if such action would materially and adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series C Preferred Stock; or (iii) declare or pay any junior dividends or repurchase any junior securities during any time that all Accrued Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock have not been paid in full in cash or, at the option of the Holder, in shares of Common Stock.

Section 6.         Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), each Holder, will be entitled to payment out of the assets of the Company, prior and in preference to holders of Common Stock of the Company, but on a pari passu basis with the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and any other parity capital stock of the Company approved then outstanding, in an amount per share equal to the Stated Value (the “Liquidation Preference”) plus any accumulated and unpaid Dividends thereon.

Section 7.         Conversion.

(a)         Conversion(b)         Upon Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right (subject to the Special Optional Redemption Right) to convert some or all of the Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder (the “Change of Control Conversion Right”) on the Change of Control Conversion Date specified in the applicable Change of Control Notice into a number of shares of Common Stock per share of the Preferred Stock to be converted equal to (x) the Liquidation Preference of such Series C Preferred Stock plus any accumulated and unpaid Dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but excluding, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a Dividend Payment Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case no additional amount for such accumulated and unpaid Dividends to be paid on such Dividend Payment Date shall be included) divided by (y) the Conversion Price. A Holder shall exercise its Change of Control Conversion Right by providing the Company with a written response to the applicable Change of Control Notice, which response shall specify the number of shares to be converted and otherwise comply with any reasonable procedures specified by the Company in the Change of Control Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Company has provided notice of its election to redeem some or all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock (whether pursuant to its Optional Redemption Right or its Special Optional Redemption Right), the Holders will not have the Change of Control Conversion Right with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted]

(c)            Optional Conversion. Each Holder will have the right (subject to the Special Optional Redemption Right) to convert some or all of the Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder (the “Optional Conversion Right”) at any time and from time to time into a number of shares of the Common Stock per share of the Preferred Stock equal to (x) the Liquidation Preference of such Series C Preferred Stock plus any accumulated and unpaid Dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but excluding, the Optional Conversion Date (unless the Optional Conversion Date is after a Dividend Payment Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date for the Series C Preferred Stock, in which case no additional amount for such accumulated and unpaid dividends to be paid on such Dividend Payment Date shall be included) divided by (y) the Conversion Price. A Holder shall exercise its Optional Conversion Right by providing written notice to the Company of its intent to convert and the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted (the “Conversion Notice”). The Company shall fix the Optional Conversion Date in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation and notify the converting Holder within a reasonable amount of time following the receipt of such Xxxxxx’s notice of conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, if, prior to the Optional Conversion Date, the Company has provided notice of its election to redeem some or all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock (whether pursuant to its Optional Redemption Right or its Special Optional Redemption Right), the Holders will not have the Optional Conversion Right with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock.

(d)            Conversion and Issuance Limitations.

(i)            Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, until the Company has obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Series C Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into Conversion Shares to the extent such conversion would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap.

(ii)            Until the Company shall have obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval, no Holder shall be permitted to effect any conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock or receive Conversion Shares hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such Conversion Shares, the Holder, in the aggregate and together with any affiliate of such Holder, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares or if such conversion would otherwise result in a “change of control” within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). In connection with the submission of any Conversion Notice, the Holder shall furnish such information as the Company may reasonably request to assist it in determining the Holder’s beneficial ownership pursuant to this Section 7(d)(ii).

(iii)           No Holder shall be permitted to effect any conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock or receive Conversion Shares hereunder to the extent that after giving effect (but only after giving effect) to such conversion or receipt of such Conversion Shares, the Holder, in the aggregate and together with any affiliate of such Holder, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares, except and to the extent as waived or consented to in writing by the Holder; provided that any such waiver or consent shall become effective 61 days following the date on which it is provided. The foregoing provision shall not apply to a Holder who, in the aggregate and together with any affiliate of such Holder, beneficially owned (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares. In connection with the submission of any Conversion Notice, the Holder shall furnish such information as the Company may reasonably request to assist it in determining the Holder’s beneficial ownership pursuant to this Section 7(d)(iii).

(e)            Common Stock Issuance. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock shall be (i) duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) shall rank pari passu with the other shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time.

(f)            Mechanics of Conversion.

(i)            Delivery of Book-Entry Statement Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after the date of the conversion, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a book-entry statement evidencing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion.

(ii)            Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the applicable Average Common Stock Price.

(g)            Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates or book-entry statements for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 8.         Redemption.

(a)            Optional Redemption. On or after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date (“Optional Redemption Date”), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series C Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price equal to 103% of the Liquidation Preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid Dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but excluding, the date of such redemption, without interest (the “Optional Redemption Right”). The Company shall exercise its Optional Redemption Right by mailing written notice to each Holder, which notice shall specify: (i) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed and the amount to be paid therefor; and (ii) the date on which such redemption shall occur, which shall be a Business Day not less than 20 days and not more than 60 days from the date on which such notice is mailed. If less than all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Company shall redeem the shares pro rata amongst all Holders according to the number of shares held by each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, pursuant to Section 7(d)(i), the Series C Preferred Stock is not convertible in whole or in part on the Optional Redemption Date, the Optional Redemption Date shall be extended to a Business Day selected by the Company that is not less than 20 days and not more than 35 days from the date on which Section 7(d)(i) no longer applies.

(b)            Special Optional Redemption. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series C Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the closing date relating to such Change of Control, for cash at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 103% of the Liquidation Preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid Dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but excluding, the date of such redemption, without interest and (ii) the price per share the holders of Series C Preferred Stock would receive if they converted into Common Stock immediately preceding the Change of Control (the “Special Optional Redemption Right”). The Company may exercise its Special Optional Redemption Right by notifying holders of such redemption in any Change of Control Notice complying with the requirements of Section 8(c). In the event the Company issues a Change of Control Notice in which it does not elect to redeem all outstanding Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to its Special Optional Redemption Right and the Change of Control to which such notice relates has been consummated, the Company may exercise its Special Option Redemption Right with respect to any shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are not converted pursuant to the initial Change of Control Notice, provided that such redemption is completed within 120 days of the closing date relating to such Change of Control.

(c)            Change of Control Notice. Promptly following the later of (x) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (y) the Company becoming aware of such Change of Control, the Company shall mail written notice (a “Change of Control Notice”) to each Holder specifying:

(i)            the date on which such Change of Control occurred;

(ii)           the total purchase price (if any) associated with the Change of Control;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall, to the extent permissible, issue a Change of Control Notice prior to the occurrence of an anticipated Change of Control to each Holder specifying:

(i)            the date on which such Change of Control is anticipated to occur;

(ii)           the anticipated total purchase price (if any) associated with the Change of Control;

(iii)          whether the Company intends to exercise its Special Optional Redemption Right and if so, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the amount to be paid therefor, and the date on which such securities are to be redeemed; any Special Optional Redemption may be made contingent upon the consummation of such Change of Control and any transactions related thereto and the date for redemption may be fixed relative to such consummation, provided that no redemption shall occur prior to 20 days after the mailing of such Change of Control Notice unless the Holder subject to such redemption shall have consented thereto in writing; and

(iv)          the applicable Change of Control Conversion Date (if the Company does not intend to redeem all outstanding Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to its Special Optional Redemption Right); the Change of Control Conversion Date may be fixed relative to the date on which such Change of Control and any transactions related thereto are consummated.

In the event the Company issues a Change of Control Notice prior to an anticipated Change of Control, and the Company subsequently determines that such Change of Control will not occur on substantially the terms set forth in such Change of Control Notice, or at all, the Company shall be entitled to revoke or revise such Change of Control Notice in its reasonable discretion.

Section 9.         Certain Adjustments.

(a)            Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents in respect of its Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include: (x) any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock, (y) any Dividend paid in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) or (z) any dividend payable in respect of any other series of preferred stock of the Company), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Shares underlying the Series C Preferred Stock shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) 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 this Section 9(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(b)            Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 9(a) above, if at any time subsequent to the applicable Original Issue Date the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(c)            Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Series C Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion 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 Conversion 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 conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock at the time of such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9(c) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Series C Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series C Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a Conversion Price which applies the Conversion Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such Conversion Price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(d)            Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 9, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

Section 10.         Information Rights. During any period in which the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will (i) transmit by mail to all Holders, copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports that would have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and (ii) promptly upon written request, make available copies of such reports to any prospective holder of the Series C Preferred Stock. The Company will mail the reports to the Holders within 15 days after the respective dates by which such reports would have been filed with the Commission.

Section 11.         Requisite Shareholder Approval. If the Company reasonably determines that the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the exercise of the Warrants to each Purchaser or the payment of any dividends in shares of Common Stock would, in the aggregate, exceed the Exchange Cap or violate the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), (i) the Company shall duly call, give notice of, establish a record date for, convene and hold a special meeting of the common stockholders, to be held as promptly as reasonably possible, for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Shareholder Approval; and (ii) the Board of Directors shall recommend to its common stockholders the approval of the Requisite Shareholder Approval, include such recommendation in any proxy statement, and use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval, it will, seek to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval (and the Board of Directors shall maintain its recommendation for such approval) at each subsequent regular annual meeting of stockholders until such Requisite Shareholder Approval is obtained.

Section 12.         Miscellaneous.

(a)            Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally or by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 00000 Xxxxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Attention: General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, e-mail address [*****], or such other e-mail address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 12.

(b)            Book-Entry; Certificates. The Series C Preferred Stock will be issued in book-entry form; provided that, if a Holder requests that such Holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock be issued in certificated form, the Company will instead issue a stock certificate to such Holder representing such Xxxxxx’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock. To the extent that any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form, references herein to “certificates” shall instead refer to the book-entry notation relating to such shares.

(c)            Lost or Mutilated Preferred Stock Certificate. If a Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership hereof reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(e)            Waiver.

Any waiver by the Company or a Holder must be in writing.

(f)            Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated April __, 2024, among the Company and the purchaser[s] signatory thereto.

Section 2. Exercise.

(a) Exercise of Warrant. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, until the Company has obtained the approval (the “Requisite Shareholder Approval”) of the proposal required to be approved by the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq (or any successor entity), including Nasdaq Listing Standard Rule 5635, prior to further issuances of the Company’s Common Stock upon (x) the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, (y) the exercise of warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or (z) payment of Dividends hereunder, at the option of the Holder, in shares of Common Stock where, in aggregate, the issuance of such shares of Common Stock under (x), (y) or (z) would (i) exceed 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April __, 2024, appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction (the “Exchange Cap”), or (ii) cause the Holder, in the aggregate and together with any affiliate of such Holder, to beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to exercise or otherwise result in a “change of control” within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Standard Rule 5635(b) (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may not be made if such exercise would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or in violation of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as applicable. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is unable to issue all or any part of the Warrant Shares prior to the Termination Date because the Company has not obtained the Requisite Shareholder Approval, the Termination Date shall be extended to a Business Day selected by the Company that is not less than twenty (20) days and not more than thirty-five (35) days from the date on which the Company obtained the Requisite Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may not be made if such exercise would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such Conversion Shares, the Holder, in the aggregate and together with any affiliate of such Holder, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect (but only after giving effect) to such conversion or receipt of shares, except and to the extent as expressly waived or consented to in writing by the Holder provided that any such waiver or consent shall become effective 61 days following the date on which it is provided. The foregoing provision shall not apply to a Holder who, in the aggregate and together with any affiliate of such Holder, beneficially owned (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares. In connection with the submission of any Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall furnish such information as the Company may reasonably request to assist it in determining the Holder’s beneficial ownership pursuant to this Section 2(a).Within the earlier of (A) two (2) Trading Days and (B) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.2355, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

(c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available, for the public resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (x) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (y) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the restricted characteristic of the Warrants being exercised, subject to the holding period of the Warrant Shares being “tacked” on to the holding period of this Warrant in accordance with Rule 144. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

“Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, but the Common Stock is quoted on OTCQB or OTCQX, the VWAP of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

“Trading Day” shall mean any Business Day on which the Common Stock is traded, or able to be traded, on the Trading Market.

“Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the relevant date: New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American LLC, or any national exchange operated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American LLC or the Nasdaq Stock Market.

“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, but the Common Stock is quoted on OTCQB or OTCQX, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

(d) Mechanics of Exercise

(i)

Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares by, the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of the Warrant Shares, 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 by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company, and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Other than as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2(a) of this Warrant, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a registrar (which may be the Transfer Agent) that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date.

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(iv) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, and other than as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2(a) of this Warrant, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, 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 (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Other than as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2(a) of this Warrant, nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Warrant Shares and delivery of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant 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 in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B, duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. “Transfer Agent” means Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the current transfer agent of the Company, at its principal office in Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 and any successor transfer agent of the Company.

(vii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

(b)[RESERVED].

(c) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding voting power, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), valued at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received shares of common stock of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(c) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(c) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(d) (i) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) and 3(c) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(ii) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof), immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share of Common Stock, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(f) Notice to Holder.

(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If, (A) the Company declares a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the shares of Common Stock, (B) the Company declares a special nonrecurring cash dividend on, or a redemption of, the shares of Common Stock, (C) the Company authorizes the granting to all holders of the shares of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company is required in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, or (E) the Company authorizes the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the shares of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

(g) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

(a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

(a) Currency. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Warrant are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”). All amounts owing under this Warrant shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Warrant, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (NY edition) on the relevant date of calculation.

(b) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 3(d) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

(d) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken, or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

(e) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant, subject in all respects to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a) of this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant may be issued, as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. Subject to the Requisite Shareholder Approval with respect to shares issued in excess of the Exchange Cap or the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, , the Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation using reasonable best efforts to obtain the receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval, and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant, including without limitation the receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval; provided, however, if the Company reasonably determines that the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the exercise of this Warrant or the payment of any dividends in shares of Common Stock would, in the aggregate, exceed the Exchange Cap or violate the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Company shall duly call, give notice of, establish a record date for, convene and hold a special meeting of the common stockholders, to be held as promptly as reasonably possible, for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Shareholder; provided further that the Board of Directors shall recommend to its common stockholders the approval of the Requisite Shareholder Approval.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

(f) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(g) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state, federal or foreign securities laws.

(h) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

(i) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any share of Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(k) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(l) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

(m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
