No Indemnifying Party, in the 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.

$___________

FOR VALUE RECEIVED AND INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND, RESOURCE AMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ________________________________ (“Holder”), the principal sum of _______________________________ Million and 00/100 ($_________), together with interest thereon upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

1. Interest Rate. Interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof will accrue from the date of this Note until final payment thereof at the fixed rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

Interest payable on the first interest payment date shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed between the date of issuance of this Note and December 31, 2009.

3. Maturity. Principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder or under the Transaction Documents (as such term is defined in Section 9 hereof), is due and payable on _____________, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”).

4. Place of Payment. Principal and interest hereunder shall be payable at the office of Holder set forth in Section 20 hereof, or at such other place as Holder, from time to time, may designate in writing.

5. Redemption. The Company may redeem all or any part of this Note at any time or from time to time, upon notice given to the Holder not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at the redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount redeemed) set forth below, plus the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed to the date of such redemption, and all other fees and charges due hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (as such term is hereinafter defined):

Thereafter 100%

Any principal prepayment hereunder must be in an amount of not less than $100,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000.

6. Payment Method. All payments under this Note or the other Transaction Documents are to be made in immediately available funds. If Holder accepts payment in any other form, such payment shall not be deemed to have been made until the funds comprising such payment have been actually received or made available to Holder.

7. Application of Payments. Any and all payments on account of this Note shall be applied, first to accrued and unpaid interest, then to other sums due hereunder or under the Transaction Documents and thereafter to outstanding principal. The Company agrees that, to the extent it makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the obligations or part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.

8. Subordination.

(a) The payment of all indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of Company to Holder under this Note, whether now existing or hereafter arising (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”), is expressly subordinated to the indebtedness set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Senior Debt”) and the obligations of the Company set forth therein. The term “Senior Debt” shall include any and all obligations of Company to the lenders set forth on Schedule I including without limitation interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to Company, whether or not a claim for such post-commencement interest is allowed. All capitalized terms used in this Section 8 in connection with the Senior Debt and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan Agreement (as defined herein). The term “Loan Agreement” means that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated May 24, 2007, as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time among Company, TD Bank, N.A. (successor by merger to Commerce Bank, N.A.) as Agent and Issuing Bank and the Lenders party thereto from time to time.

(b) Until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full and any commitment to make advances under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt has terminated, Company shall not pay, and Holder shall not accept, any payments of any kind (including prepayments) associated with the Subordinated Debt; provided, however, that so long as no material event of default (for purposes of the Loan Agreement, a Significant Default) under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt exists or after giving effect to the making of any such payment(s) would exist, Company may pay and Holder may accept regularly scheduled payments of interest on the Subordinated Debt. Except as set forth in subsection (k), no principal payment of any kind (by voluntary prepayment, acceleration, set-off or otherwise) of any portion of the Subordinated Debt may be made by Company or received or accepted by Holder at any time prior to the indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Debt and termination of any commitment to make advances under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt.

(c) Any payments on the Subordinated Debt received by Holder other than as permitted in clause (b) above, shall be held in trust for Agent and Holder will forthwith turn over any such payments in the form received, properly endorsed, to Agent to be applied to the Senior Debt as determined in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

(d) Company shall not grant to Holder and Holder shall not take any lien on or security interest in any of Company’s property, now owned or hereafter acquired, created or arising.

(e) Holder shall not make any assertion or claim in any action, suit or proceeding of any nature whatsoever in any way challenging the priority, validity or effectiveness of the liens and security interests granted to Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties under and in connection with the Loan Agreement, or any amendment, extension, replacement thereof or related agreement among Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders and Company.

(f) Holder shall not commence any action or proceeding of any kind against Company to recover all or any part of the Subordinated Debt not paid when due, and shall at no time join with any creditor, in bringing any proceeding against Company under any liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, or other insolvency law now or hereafter existing, unless and until the Senior Debt shall be indefeasibly paid in full and any commitment to make advances under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt has terminated. Holder, however may accelerate the amount of the Subordinated Debt upon the occurrence of (i) the acceleration of the Senior Debt; and (ii) the filing of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code by Company.

(g) In the event of any liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, or other insolvency proceeding of Company (each a “Proceeding”), Holder shall at Agent’s request file any claims, proofs of claim, or other instruments of similar character necessary to enforce the obligations of Company in respect of the Subordinated Debt (each a “Claim”) and will hold in trust for Agent and pay over to Agent in the same form received, to be applied on the Senior Debt as determined in accordance with the Loan Agreement, any and all money, dividends or other assets received in any such Proceeding on account of the Subordinated Debt, unless and until the Senior Debt shall be indefeasibly paid in full (and any commitment to make advances under the Loan Agreement has terminated), including without limitation interest accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding, whether or not a claim for such post-commencement interest is allowed. In the event that Holder has not filed a Claim before the fifteenth (15th) day prior to the deadline for filing such Claim, Agent may, as attorney-in-fact for Holder, take such action on behalf of Holder and Holder hereby appoints Agent as attorney-in-fact for Holder to demand, xxx for, collect, and receive any and all such money, dividends or other assets and give acquittance therefore and to file any such Claim and to take such other proceedings in Agent’s name or in the name of Holder, as Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 8. Holder shall execute and deliver to Agent such other and further powers of attorney or other instruments as Agent reasonably may request in order to accomplish the foregoing.

(h) The lenders named in the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to Holder, without incurring responsibility to Holder, and without impairing or releasing any of the rights of such lenders or any of the obligations of Holder hereunder:

i. Change the amount, manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter the Senior Debt (including increasing the principal amount thereof), or any part thereof, or amend, supplement or replace the documents evidencing the facilities in any manner or enter into or amend, supplement or replace in any manner any other agreement relating to the Senior Debt;

ii. Sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all or any part of the collateral securing the Senior Debt or any part thereof;

iii. Release anyone liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt;

iv. Exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any of them, or others; and

v. Apply sums paid by any party to the Senior Debt in any order or manner as determined pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

(i) Holder will advise each future holder of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt that the Subordinated Debt is subordinated to the Senior Debt in the manner and to the extent provided herein. Holder represents that no part of the Subordinated Debt or any instrument evidencing the same has been transferred or assigned and Holder will not transfer or assign, except to Agent for the ratable benefit of Secured Parties, any part of the Subordinated Debt while any Senior Debt remains outstanding, unless such transfer or assignment is made expressly subject to the provisions of this Section 8. Holder and Company shall not modify or permit the modification of the payment terms of the Subordinated Debt or otherwise modify this Note.

(j) Holder represents and warrants that neither the contents and provisions of this Section 8 nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which Holder is now subject.

(k) In the event that Company at any time terminates the financing arrangements with respect to the Senior Debt, then the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to the benefit of any financial institution obtained by Company to provide replacement financing for Company and, in connection with such replacement financing, Holder shall, if requested by such replacement lender, execute

with such replacement lender a subordination agreement substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall enter into no extension, termination, refinancing, replacement, amendment or other modification of the Senior Debt that contemplates the existence of Senior Debt past the Maturity Date, unless the documents evidencing the resulting extended, terminated, refinanced, replaced, amended or otherwise modified credit facility expressly permits the timely payment due to Holder on the Maturity Date of the principal and all amounts then due under this Note, except in the case of the existence of a material event of default (for purposes of the Loan Agreement, a Significant Default) thereunder.

(l) Company and Holder each expressly agree that Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders are third party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 8 and understand that Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders shall rely on such provisions to make and continue to make the Senior Debt available to Company.

9. Transaction Documents. This Note is entitled to all rights and remedies provided in the Note Purchase Agreement dated September 24, 2009 between the Company and Holder and all other documents executed or delivered in connection herewith (this Note and such documents, as any of them may be amended from time to time, being collectively the “Transaction Documents”).

10. Events of Default. For purposes hereof, each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default (“Event of Default”) hereunder:

(a) the failure of the Company to pay any amount of principal on this Note on the date such payment is due and payable;

(b) the failure of the Company to pay any amount of interest on this Note, any fees or other sums payable hereunder or any other obligations, indebtedness, liabilities and undertakings of the Company to Holder, whether now or hereafter owing or existing, under this Note or the other Transaction Documents (the “Indebtedness”) on the date on which such payment is due, whether on demand, at the stated maturity or due date thereof or by reason of any requirement for the prepayment thereof, by acceleration or otherwise, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) business days after Holder’s delivery of written notice to the Company of such monetary default (such five business day period, the “Payment Cure Period”);

(c) the failure of the Company to duly perform or observe any obligation, covenant or agreement on its part contained herein or in any other Transaction Document and such failure continues unremedied for a period of ten business (10) days after notice from Holder to the Company of the existence of such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such failure specifically constitutes an Event of Default under some other subsection of this Section 10 or under any of the other Transaction Documents, and is incapable of remedy or cure, the Company shall not be entitled to any notice or grace hereunder;

(d) the adjudication of the Company as a bankrupt or insolvent, or the entry of an order for relief against the Company or the entry of an order appointing a receiver or trustee for the Company or any of its property or approving a petition seeking reorganization or other similar relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States or any state or any other competent jurisdiction;

(e) a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement of debt, insolvency, readjustment of debt or receivership law is filed by or (unless dismissed within 90 days) against the Company, or the Company makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the Company takes any action to authorize any of the foregoing;

(f) all or any material part of the assets of Company come within the possession or control of any receiver, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors;

(g) any representation or warranty of the Company in any of the Transaction Documents is discovered to be untrue in any material respect as of the date such representation or warranty is made;

(h) the Company voluntarily or involuntarily dissolves or is dissolved, terminates or is terminated;

(i) the Company is enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by the order of any court or any administrative or regulatory agency, the effect of which order restricts the Company from conducting all or any material part of its business; or

(j) (i) the occurrence of an event of default under any of the other Transaction Documents or (ii) an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) occurs under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt and is not cured within any applicable cure period.

11. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Holder, at its option and without notice to the Company, may declare immediately due and payable the entire Indebtedness, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate specified herein to the date of payment. Payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies in this Note or in the Transaction Documents, or as may be available to Holder at law or in equity. If Holder employs counsel to enforce this Note by suit or otherwise, the Company will reimburse Holder for all costs of suit and other expenses in connection therewith, whether or not suit is actually instituted, together with Holder’s reasonable attorney’s fees incurred for collection, together, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with interest on any judgment obtained by Holder at the rate specified herein, including interest from and after the date of execution, judicial or foreclosure sale until actual payment is made to Holder of the full amount due to Holder.

12. Set-Off. Without limiting the rights of Holder under applicable law, Holder has and may exercise a right of set-off, a lien against and a security interest in all property of the Company now or at any time in Holder’s possession in any capacity whatsoever. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Holder may without notice or demand, set-off and apply any and all sums at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Holder to or for the credit of the Company against any or all of the Indebtedness and the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents.

13. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Holder to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Note upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof or impair any such right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of any Event of Default shall affect any later Event of Default or shall impair any rights of Holder. No single, partial or full exercise of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges by Holder shall preclude further or other exercise thereof. No course of dealing between Holder and the Company shall operate as or be deemed to constitute a waiver of Holder’s rights under this Note or affect the duties or obligations of the Company.

14. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges in Holder’s favor under the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity.

15. Recovery of Judgments. The recovery of any judgment by Holder and/or the levy of execution under any judgment upon any assets of the Company shall not affect in any manner or to any extent any rights, remedies or powers of Holder under this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, but such rights, remedies and powers of Holder shall continue unimpaired as before.

16. Releases. The Company agrees that (i) Holder may release, compromise, forbear with respect to, waive, suspend, extend or renew any of the terms of the Transaction Documents, and (ii) the Transaction Documents may be amended, supplemented or modified by Holder and the other signatory parties as it may require, without in any way affecting the validity of this Note. Any action taken by Holder pursuant to the foregoing shall in no way be construed as a waiver or release of any other right or remedy of Holder, or of any Event of Default, or of any liability or obligation of the Company hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents.

17. Transaction Documents Solely Corporate Obligations. No recourse for the payment of any Indebtedness due under any Transaction Document, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company under any Transaction Document, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, trustee, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any of its subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, this Note.

18. Submission to Jurisdiction. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN, AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF TO IT AT THE ADDRESS FOR SUCH NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF.

Section 2. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions 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 Warrant Date and prior to 11:59 P.M. New York Time on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription form 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) (A) 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”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by check if the Company has not provided the holder of this Warrant with wire transfer instructions for such payment) or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 2(d)), and (iii) if required by Section 2(e) or unless the Holder has previously delivered this Warrant to the Company and it or a new replacement Warrant has not yet been delivered to the Holder, the surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date, this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction); 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 7 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 second (2nd) Business Day (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) following the date of its receipt of the later of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of Cashless Exercise) and if required by Section 2(e) (or unless the holder of this Warrant has previously delivered this Warrant to the Company and it or a new replacement Warrant has not yet been delivered to the holder), this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), issue and deliver to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled. Upon the later of the date of delivery of (x) the Exercise Notice and (y) the Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise referred to in Section 2(d), the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised (the date thereof being referred to as the “Deemed Issuance Date”), 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, the Weighted Average Price of a security or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the holder 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 two (2) Business Days 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, the Weighted Average Price or arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall promptly submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Weighted Average Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Company and the holder of this Warrant or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to its independent, outside public accountant. The Company shall direct 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 two (2) Business Days after the date 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 demonstrable error.

(b) If this Warrant is submitted for exercise, as may be required by Section 2(e), and 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 four (4) Business Days after receipt of this Warrant (the “Warrant Delivery Date”) and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised (together with, in the case of a cashless exercise, the number of Warrant Shares surrendered in lieu of payment of the Exercise Price).

(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 rounded up).

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the holder of this Warrant may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;

B= the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the delivery of the Exercise Notice; and

C= the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

(e) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the holder of this Warrant shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless it is being exercised for all of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant. The holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised and issued and the dates of such exercises or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of demonstrable error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Warrant is exercised as aforesaid, the holder may not transfer this Warrant unless the holder first physically surrenders this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the holder a new Warrant of like tenor, registered as the holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant. The holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant may be less than the number stated on the face hereof. Each Warrant shall bear the following legend:

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS WARRANT SHOULD

CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANT,

INCLUDING SECTION 2(e) HEREOF. THE SECURITIES

REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT MAY BE LESS THAN

XXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXX XX THE FACE HEREOF

PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(e) HEREOF.

(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly issued.

(b) All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant.

(d) The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the Principal Market (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and each other market or exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or listed and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so traded or 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 the Principal Market and each other market or exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or listed 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 the Principal Market and each other market or exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or listed.

(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles 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 to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (ii) will take all such actions 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.

(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of the holder of this Warrant) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. No holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose (other than to the extent that the holder is deemed to be a beneficial holder of shares under applicable securities laws after taking into account the limitation set forth in the first paragraph of this Warrant), nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the Deemed Issuance Date of the Warrant Shares that such holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any obligations or liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant, and upon exercise hereof (other than pursuant to a Cashless Exercise) will acquire the Warrant Shares, for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”) and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Company, the Warrant and the offering thereof from the Company. Each delivery of an Exercise Notice, other than in connection with a Cashless Exercise, shall constitute confirmation at such time by the holder of the representations concerning the Warrant Shares set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 6, unless contemporaneous with the delivery of such Exercise Notice, the holder notifies the Company in writing that it is not making such representations (a “Representation Notice”). If the holder delivers a Representation Notice in connection with an exercise, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant and the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 2 in connection with such exercise, that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws, and the time periods for the Company’s compliance with its obligations set forth in Section 2 shall be tolled until such holder provides the Company with such other representations.

Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.

(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices or at the offices of its transfer agent (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

(b) This Warrant and the rights granted hereunder shall be assignable by the holder hereof without the consent of the Company.

(c) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and the initial holder of this Warrant (and assignees thereof) is entitled to the registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 8. Adjustments The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 8 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 8 so as to result in duplication:

(a) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness,

assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 8(a)), in each such case, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the Principal Market on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith (the “Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Weighted Average Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Warrant Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend that is, or is coincident with, an Ordinary Cash Dividend, the Fair Market Value shall be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Warrant Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Warrant Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.

(d) Business Combinations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 8(a)), the Warrantholder’s right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holder of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the holder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination, then the consideration that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority of all holders of the shares of common stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none make an election).

(e) Sales of Common Stock. Except in the case of equity awards under a Company stockholder equity compensation plan, if the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) issue or sell any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the “Applicable Price”), (ii) issue or sell any options or warrants for an exercise price which, when taken together with the amount of consideration paid to acquire such warrants or options (allocated pro rata over the number of shares for which the options or warrant are exercisable) is less than the Applicable Price, (iii) issue or sell any convertible securities for which the conversion price is less that the Applicable Price, or (iv) change any exercise or conversion price to an amount less that the Applicable Price, then immediately after such sale or change, the Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to that amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such reduction of Warrant Exercise Price shall not be available to certain Warrant Holders to the extent that such reduction, in accordance with the rules promulgated by the Principal Market, would be deemed to be equity compensation requiring stockholder approval.

(f) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more.

(g) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 8 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the holder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such holder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

(h) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 8, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Warrant Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the holder of this Warrant at the address appearing in the Company’s records.

(i) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 8 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 8 would result in an adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Company shall give notice to the holder of this Warrant, in the manner set forth in Section 10, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Warrant Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.

(j) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, Principal Market or other applicable national securities exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant.

(k) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Warrant Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Warrant Exercise Price to an amount below the par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Warrant Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Warrant Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.

Section 9. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking by the holder (or in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

Section 10. Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

Thereafter, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible, and in any event within 180 days following receipt of the demand (the “Effectiveness Deadline”).

Section 2.02 Sale Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement and notify the Selling Holders of the filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements;

(b) furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing the Registration Statement or such other registration statement or supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of the Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or other registration statement;

(c) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Managing Underwriter, shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

(d) promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any of them under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) the receipt of any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;

(e) immediately notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; (ii) the issuance or express threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Company agrees to amend or supplement the prospectus or take other appropriate action as promptly as practicable so that the prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension or proceedings related thereto. Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in this Section 2.02(e), shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended

prospectus contemplated by this Section 2.02(e) or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will deliver to the Company all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice;

(f) upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable Securities;

(g) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder;

(h) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(j) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(k) enter into customary agreements, take such other actions, and provide such cooperation and access to management, as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(l) if requested by a Seller: (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Seller reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) if required by the Securities Act, supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement; and

(m) if the Sellers are deemed to be “underwriters,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, in connection with a Registration Statement in respect of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, and any amendment or supplement thereof, then for a period of one year following the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company will cooperate with the Sellers in

allowing the Sellers to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Company and satisfy their obligations in respect thereof. In addition, for a period of one year following the effective date of the Registration Statement, at the request of a Seller seeking to offer or sell Registrable Securities, the Company will furnish to such Seller, on the date of the effectiveness of any Registration Statement covering the sale of such Seller’s Registrable Securities and thereafter no more often than on a quarterly basis, (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to such Seller, (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Seller in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, including a standard “10b-5” opinion for such offering, addressed to such Seller and (iii) an officer’s certificate from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten offering addressed to such Seller. The Company will also permit one legal counsel to such Seller(s) to review and comment upon the Registration Statement at least three Business Days prior to its filing with the Commission and all amendments and supplements to any such Registration Statement within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the Commission and not file any such Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which such Seller’s legal counsel reasonably objects.

Section 2.03 Cooperation by Holders. The Company shall have no obligation to include in the Registration Statement Registrable Securities of a Holder, or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02 Registrable Securities of a Selling Holder, who has failed to timely furnish such information that the Company determines, after consultation with counsel, is reasonably required to be furnished or confirmed in order for the Registration Statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.

Section 2.04 Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. For a period of 365 days from the date hereof, each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the Registrable Securities for a period of up to 30 days following completion of an Underwritten Offering of equity securities by the Company if required by the Managing Underwriter.

Section 2.05 Expenses.

(a) Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” means all expenses incident to the Company’s performance under or compliance with this Agreement to effect the registration of Registrable Securities on the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof or an Underwritten Offering covered under this Agreement, and the disposition of such securities, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and securities exchange listing fees, all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, transfer taxes and fees of transfer agents and registrars, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, the fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Holders and the fees and expenses of the independent public accountants for the Company, including the expenses of any special audits or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance. “Selling Expenses” means all underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities.

(b) Expenses. The Company will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses as determined in good faith. The Company shall not be responsible for legal fees incurred by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder. Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder.

Section 2.06 Indemnification.

(a) By the Company. In the event of an offering of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder and its directors, officers and employees, and each underwriter, pursuant to the applicable underwriting agreement with such underwriter, of Registrable Securities thereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors and officers (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement or such other registration statement, or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder or any such Selling Holder, its directors or officers or any underwriter or controlling person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.

(b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers and employees, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.06 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall such Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification or contribution. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the

omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paidby an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss which is the subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.

Section 2.07 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration under the Securities Act, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof;
