2. Exercise of Warrant
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including the conditions on exercise set forth in subparagraph 2(b) hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business on the date hereof and prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), of such holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased; (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash, check or bank funds or wire transfer of immediately available funds; and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant (or a Lost Warrant Affidavit in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the Company; provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be issued in any name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant, such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 8 shall be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2(a), the Company shall on the third Business Day following the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or a Lost Warrant Affidavit in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), credit such aggregate number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the holder (or its designee) shall be entitled to the holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with The Depository Trust Company and remit any cash amount owed in lieu of any fraction of a share pursuant to Section 2(d); provided, however, if the holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or all of the Warrant Shares, then the Company shall, on or before the third Business Day following receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate or certificates, registered in the name of the holder (or its designee), for the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the holder (or its designee) shall be entitled together with an amount of cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 2(d). Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to above, the holder of this Warrant (or its designee) 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 this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Market Price of a security or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the holder (or its designee) the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile within one Business Day of receipt of the holder’s Exercise Notice. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Market Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares within one day of such disputed
4
determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Market Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing, mutually acceptable to both the Company and the holder or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to an independent, outside accountant, mutually acceptable to both the Company and the holder. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment banking firm’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error. Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the retention of an investment banking or accounting firm pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be shared equally by the Company and the holder irrespective of the determination or calculation of such firm.
(b) Subject to the conditions on exercise set forth herein, unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised. The new Warrant shall be registered in such name or names as may be directed in writing by the holder and delivered to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same.
(c) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares to which a holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
3. (a) Adjustment for Dividends in Other Stock and Property; Reclassifications. In case at any time or from time to time the holders of the Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible shareholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,
(1) other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) by way of dividend or other distribution,
(2) any cash or other property paid or payable out of any source other than retained earnings (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), or
(3) other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of stock-split, spin-off, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement,
(other than (x) shares of Common Stock or any other stock or securities into which such Common Stock shall have been exchanged, or (y) any other stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such Common Stock or such other stock or securities), then and in each such case a holder, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (2) and (3) above) which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise if on the Issuance Date such holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this Warrant, and had thereafter, during the period from the Issuance Date to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other or additional stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clause (2) and (3) above) receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by Section 3 hereof.
(b) Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation and Merger. In case of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise
5
of this Warrant) or reclassification of its securities after the Issuance Date (including any such reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or other business combination in which the Company is the surviving corporation), or the Company (or any such other corporation) shall consolidate with or merge into or engage in a share exchange or similar corporate transaction with another corporation or entity pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving corporation or convey or exchange all or substantially all its assets to another corporation or entity, then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, conveyance or exchange, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof; in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(c) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of (x) Common Stock or any other stock or securities into which such Common Stock shall have been exchanged, or (y) any other stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such Common Stock or such other stock or securities, then and in each such event
(1) the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of the issuance of such additional shares or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date as the case may be, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3(c) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and
(2) the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased, as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date as the case may be by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment required by clause (1) of this Section 3(c) and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(d) Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split. If the Company at any time or from time to time effects a stock split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect immediately before that stock split or subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time or from time to time effects a reverse stock split or combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect immediately before that reverse stock split or combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Each adjustment under this Section 3(d) shall
6
become effective at the close of business on the date the stock split, subdivision, reverse stock split or combination becomes effective.
(e) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder, notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number of Warrant Shares or other stock or property issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.
4. Mandatory Exercise. If at any time during the term of this Warrant the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock shall equal or exceed $9.00 (as equitably adjusted to reflect any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company or any stock split, subdivision, reverse stock split or combination effected by the Company) on each of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, holder shall automatically be deemed to have exercised this Warrant effective as of the next succeeding Business Day (the “Mandatory Exercise Event”). The Company shall promptly give holder notice of the occurrence of the Mandatory Exercise Event and holder shall thereafter have three (3) Business Days from receipt of such notice to deliver this Warrant and the Exercise Price (if and to the extent the holder does make a Cashless Exercise from the Warrant Shares) in accordance with the terms of Section 2 hereof. The Company shall credit such number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the holder (or its designee) shall be entitled to the holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with the Depository Trust Company effective as of the Mandatory Exercise Event. Alternatively, at the holder’s request, the Company shall, on or before the third Business Day following the receipt of such request issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified in the request, a certificate or certificates, registered in the name of the holder (or its designee), for the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the holder (or its designee) shall be entitled. Cash in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to the holder as promptly as practicable.

(d) The Company shall secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed within the time required by such exchange or quotation system’s rules and regulations and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system within the time required by such exchange or quotation system’s rules and regulations, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

16. .Registration Rights.
(a) All Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be entitled to “piggy-back” registration rights as follows: If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for its stockholders) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
10
amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than in connection with the Company’s initial public offering), on a registration form that would also allow the registration of the Warrant Shares (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), the Company shall: (a) promptly give to each holder written notice of the Company registration (which shall include the number of shares the Company or other holders propose to register and, if known, the name of the proposed underwriter); and (b) use its best efforts to include in such registration all the Warrant Shares specified in a written request or requests, made by any holder within fifteen (15) days after the date of delivery of the written notice from the Company described in clause (a) above.
(b) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 16 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company.
(c) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 16 to include any of the holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and to enter into any underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Warrant Shares, requested to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities that the underwriters determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Warrant Shares of the holders, the securities of the Company and the securities held by any other stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting shall be excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation to the extent so required by such limitation as follows: (a) first, the securities held by such other stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting shall be excluded, (b) if after all securities held by such other stockholders have been excluded and additional shares are required to be excluded, Warrant Shares of the holders shall be excluded in a manner such that the number of any Warrant Shares that may be included by such holders are allocated in proportion, as nearly as practicable to the amounts of Warrant Shares held by such holders, and (c) if after all securities held by the holders and such other stockholders have been excluded and additional shares are required to be excluded, securities of the Company shall be excluded.
