2. Exercise of Warrant; Company Office; Expiration.

(A) General. A Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof and shall remain exercisable thereafter until the Expiration Time, as to the entire number or any lesser number of whole Shares covered by the Warrant Certificate. A Warrant shall be deemed exercised in full on a cashless basis pursuant to Section 2(c) immediately prior to the Expiration Time if such exercise would result in the issuance of any Common Stock or other consideration (if not previously exercised in full); if such exercise would not result in such issuance, then such Warrant shall expire and be deemed cancelled immediately after the Expiration Time. Any exercise pursuant to this Section 2 shall be in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in accordance with a valid exemption from registration in connection with the issuance of such Shares, and the Company may refuse to give effect to any exercise of a Warrant pursuant to this Warrant Agreement in the event that the Company reasonably believes that such exercise would not be consistent with the foregoing.

(b) Cash Exercise. Subject to the last sentence in this Section 2(b), at any time prior to the Expiration Time, the Holder may exercise a Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company at its principal executive offices or at such other office or agency designated in writing by the Company the following: (i) the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants together with the Exercise Notice attached to the Warrant Certificate as Annex I (an “Exercise Notice”), properly completed and executed by the Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, and (ii) the payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price by wire transfer for each such Warrant exercised and any other amounts required to be paid pursuant hereto.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2(c), at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Time, in lieu of payment of the Exercise Price, a Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to require the Company to allow the exercise of a Warrant, in whole or in part, for Shares (the “Cashless Exercise Right”) as provided for in this Section 2(c). Upon exercise of the Cashless Exercise Right by a Holder, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise Price) that number of Shares (the “Cashless Exercise Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the net value of the aggregate Shares (or portion thereof as to which the Cashless Exercise Right is being exercised if the Cashless Exercise Right is being exercised in part) at the time the Cashless Exercise Right is exercised (determined by subtracting (A) the sum of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Cashless Exercise Right is being exercised in effect immediately prior to the exercise of the Cashless Exercise Right from (B) the aggregate Market Price of the Shares as to which the Cashless Exercise Right is being exercised immediately prior to the exercise of the Cashless Exercise Right) by (y) the Market Price of one Share immediately prior to the exercise of the Cashless Exercise Right.

(ii) In order to exercise the Cashless Exercise Right, a Holder shall surrender to the Company at its principal executive offices or at such other office or agency designated in writing by the Company the following: the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants together with the Cashless Exercise Notice attached to the Warrant Certificate as Annex II (a “Cashless Exercise Notice”), properly completed and executed by the Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. The presentation and surrender of the Cashless Exercise Notice shall be deemed a waiver of the Holder’s obligation to pay all or any portion of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares as to which such Cashless Exercise Right is being exercised. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Warrants shall be deemed to be exercised in accordance with this Section 2(c) and the Holders thereof shall be deemed to have exercised their Cashless Exercise Right immediately prior to the Expiration Time if the net value of the aggregate Shares (determined in accordance with Section 2(c)(i) above) is a positive amount as of the Expiration Time. The Warrants (or so much thereof as shall have been surrendered for exercise or deemed to have been exercised pursuant to this Section 2(c)(ii)) shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the earlier of (A) the day of surrender of the Cashless Exercise Notice and such Warrant Certificate for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions and (B) the Expiration Time, as the case may be. In connection with any conversion in accordance with this Section 2(c), the Company shall pay, on behalf of a Holder, all stamp, capital or other similar taxes imposed by law upon the Holder, if any, in accordance with to Section 7.

(d) Effect of Exercise. All Warrant Certificates surrendered to the Company shall be promptly cancelled by the Company and shall not be reissued by the Company.

(e) Compensation for Buy-In. In addition to any rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the third Trading Day following such exercise, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price per Share at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3. Stock Ownership; Stock Certificates; Partial Exercise.

(a) Upon each exercise of a Warrant, (x) the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Shares issuable upon such exercise and (y) such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued as of the close of business on the day the Warrant is exercised in accordance with Section 2 above, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or certificates representing such Shares shall not then have been actually delivered to the Holder.

(b) As soon as possible after each such exercise of a Warrant, but in any event within three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) issuable upon such exercise issued in such denominations as may be specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice or Cashless Notice, as applicable, and registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to Section 11(b), such other name or names as shall be designated in the Holder’s Exercise Notice or Cashless Exercise Notice, as applicable, along with cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 8(h) and to the extent applicable in accordance with Section 3(c), a new Warrant Certificate representing any un-exercised balance. At the written request of the Holder, in lieu of transmitting certificates to the Holder, the Company may credit the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company.

(c) If any Warrant shall be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Shares subject to purchase hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein (including all changes and adjustments that have occurred hereunder). The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of a Warrant.

4. Company Records; Transfer or Assignment of Warrant; Exchange of Warrant. Any Warrant issued in connection herewith or in substitution herefor, upon complete or partial transfer, assignment or exercise shall be numbered and shall be registered in the warrant register of the Company (the “Warrant Register”) as it is issued. The Warrant Register shall be in written form in the English language, shall include a record of the certificate number of each Warrant issued by the Company and shall show the number of Warrants, the date of issuance, all subsequent transfers and changes of ownership in respect thereof, including the name and address of any subsequent Holder. The Company shall treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes, except that if a Warrant is properly transferred or assigned in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall treat the transferee or assignee as the owner thereof for all purposes. Other than transfers or assignments by the Holder to one or more of its Affiliates, a Warrant may not be transferred or assigned by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Company. If such transfer or assignment shall be permitted by the preceding sentence or the Company shall consent in writing to such a transfer or assignment by the Holder, title to a Warrant shall be transferred upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, together with a properly completed Form of Assignment in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall immediately register all properly completed assignments and transfers in the Warrant Register and, upon any registration of assignment or transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to, and in the name of, the Person entitled thereto on the terms and conditions set forth herein (including all changes and adjustments that have occurred hereunder). A Warrant, if properly transferred or assigned, may be exercised by a subsequent Holder without having a new Warrant Certificate issued. The Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the option of the Holder thereof for another Warrant Certificate, or other Warrant Certificates, of different denominations and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein (including all changes and adjustments that have occurred hereunder) upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent. All provisions of this Section 4 shall be subject to Section 10.

5. Reserved Stock. The Company shall reserve and keep available at all times solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the Warrants the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrants may then be exercised. All such shares of Common Stock shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, all such shares of Common Stock shall be free from all taxes, liens, charges, encumbrances, security interests and restrictions on transfer (other than as described herein or as required by applicable law) and shall be free of pre-emptive or similar rights (whether arising under applicable law, the Company’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party).

6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

(a) As of the date hereof, the Company represents and warrants to the Holder that: (i) it has the corporate power to enter into, perform and deliver, and has taken all necessary action to authorize its entry into, and performance and delivery of, this Warrant Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant Agreement; (ii) this Warrant Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to (x) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and (y) the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; (iii) the execution of this Warrant Agreement and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder do not conflict with, result in a breach or violation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to: (x) the Company’s organizational documents; (y) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or bound or to which its or their property is subject; or (z) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over it or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties; and (iv) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in this Warrant Agreement, the sale and issuance of the Warrants pursuant to this Warrant Agreement is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

(b) At the time of execution of this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder: (i) the legal opinion of Xxxxxxxx & Wedge, Nevada counsel to the Company, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder and (ii) the legal opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P., securities counsel to the Company, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall provide the Holder with registration rights in form and substance substantially similar to those granted to holders of the Convertible Bonds as set forth in that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated January 24, 2008 by and between the Company and Smedvig QIF plc.

(d) The Company shall, for so long as any Warrants remain outstanding: (i) timely file all reports and other documents required to be filed by it pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the trading of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

(e) The Company shall not, for so long as any Warrants remain outstanding, by any action, including amending its organizational documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants. The Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

7. Payment of Taxes. All Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and without any pre-emptive rights. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 7, the Company shall bear all expenses in connection with, and all stamp, capital or other similar taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in the United States with respect to, the issue or initial delivery of Shares or Cashless Exercise Shares hereunder. All other such taxes or charges shall be borne by the Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer of any Warrants or Common Stock (or interest or entitlement therein) or to pay any tax or other charge involved in the issue of any certificate for Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant in any name other than that of the Holder, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any share certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid or it is has been established to the satisfaction of the Company that no such tax or other charge is due.

8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 8. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described in this Section 8 which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8 either at the time of such event or promptly thereafter.

(a) If the Company shall hereafter pay a Common Stock dividend or make a distribution of Common Stock to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date fixed for such determination; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution.

Such reduction shall be become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the relevant record date. For the purpose of this Section 8(a), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 8(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased; such reduction or increase, as the case may be, will become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(c) If the Company shall hereafter pay a cash dividend or other distribution (whether of assets, debt securities, preferred stock or any rights or warrants to purchase assets, debt securities, preferred stock or other securities of the Company) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Market Price (as defined below) on the record date fixed for such determination minus the fair market value on the record date of the debt securities, preferred stock, assets (including cash), securities, rights or warrants to be distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board based on a written opinion of an internationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or valuation firm that is not an Affiliate of the Company; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Market Price on the record date fixed for such determination.

Such reduction shall be become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the relevant record date. For the purpose of this Section 8(c), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 8(c) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. This Section 8(c) shall not apply to distributions of securities referred to Section 8(a) or (b) or of rights, options and warrants referred to in Section 8(d).

(d) If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or Common Stock Equivalents) at a price per share less than the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance (the “Market Price”), or issue shares of Common Stock at a price below the Market Price, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so issued or offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exercise price of the Common Stock Equivalents so offered) would purchase at the relevant Market Price; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the record date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued or offered for subscription or purchase (or into which or for which the Common Stock Equivalents so offered are convertible or exercisable).

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or securities or, in the case of the sale of shares of Common Stock below the Market Price, the date of such sale. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or Common Stock Equivalents) are not delivered pursuant to such rights, warrants or securities, upon the expiration or termination of such rights, warrants or securities the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, warrants or securities been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or Common Stock Equivalents) actually delivered. In the event that such rights, warrants or securities are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights, warrants or securities entitle the holders to subscribe for, purchase or receive shares of Common Stock at less than the relevant Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, warrants or entitlement to receive such shares of Common Stock and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board.

(e) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock of the Company upon the exercise of a Warrant. If any fraction of a Share would be issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of such Share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of such Warrant.

(f) If, after an adjustment, a holder of a Warrant is entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company upon exercise of such Warrant, the Company shall determine, in good faith, the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the applicable Exercise Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 8. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein, if proceedings commence for the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, unless the holder voluntarily elects to exercise its Warrants pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Warrants shall be deemed automatically be exercised pursuant to Section 2(c)) hereof, and the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants shall be deemed canceled. As a result of such exercise, each holder of Shares or Cashless Exercise Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions on an equal basis with the holders of the shares of Common Stock. If this Section 8(g) applies to a transaction, no other adjustment to the exercise price shall be made pursuant to this Section 8.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Exercise Price are called for pursuant to this Section 8, such adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intention of this Section 8 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board.

(i) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Common Stock, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares) at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.

9. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. If the Company reorganizes its capital, reclassifies its capital securities, consolidates or merges with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving Person or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another Person and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person, or any cash, units, shares or stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of the units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to holders of the Common Stock of the Company, then each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of a Warrant, the number of units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person or of the Company, if it is the surviving Person, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of Shares for which such Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. If any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets occurs, the successor or acquiring Person (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant Agreement and any registration rights agreement entered into between the Company and the Holder relating to the resale of the Warrants or the Shares (or the Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by the Board) in order to provide for adjustments of the Common Stock for which each Warrant is exercisable, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 9, and all references in this Warrant Agreement to the “Company” shall be deemed to be a reference to such successor or acquiring Person. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities and/or property receivable upon consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such transaction, then the Holders of the Warrants, in connection with such transaction and at the same time holders of Common Stock are allowed to make such election, shall be given the right to make a similar election with respect to the number of shares of stock or Other Property for which the Holder’s Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable. For purposes of this Section 9, “units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person” includes units, shares or stock of such Person of any class that is not preferred as to distributions or assets over any other class of units, shares or stock of such entity and that is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, units, shares or stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any such units, shares or stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such units, shares or stock, and all references in this Agreement to “Common Stock” shall be deemed to be a reference to such units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or disposition of assets.

10. Expenses. Subject to Section 7, the Company shall pay all costs, fees, taxes (other than any federal or state income or stock transfer taxes) and expenses payable in connection with the preparation and delivery of this Warrant Agreement and the preparation, issuance and initial delivery from time to time of any Warrants and Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) or other securities issued upon the exercise, transfer or assignment of this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant.

11. Representations and Warranties of the Holder; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) The Holder, by its acceptance hereof and its acceptance of any Warrants or Warrant Certificates, represents and warrants to the Company:

(i) The Holder is acquiring the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) or other securities issued upon the exercise of such Warrant for investment purposes, for its own account, and not with an intent to sell or distribute such Warrant or any such Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) or other securities except in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities law. The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Holder has been advised and understands and acknowledges that the issuance and sale of the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) has not been registered under the Securities Act or under the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act (or if eligible, sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or in a transaction not subject thereto).

(ii) The Holder is an Accredited Investor and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of any Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be).

(iii) The Holder has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and relating to the offer and sale of the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) that have been requested by the Holder. The Holder understands and acknowledges that its purchase of the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. The Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be).

(iv) The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws, and that the Company, and Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P., securities counsel to the Company, are relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Holder set forth in this Warrant Agreement (x) in concluding that the offer and sale of the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) is a “private offering” and, as such, is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and (y) to determine the applicability of such exemptions in evaluating the suitability of the Holder to purchase the Warrants and any Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be).

(b) The Holder acknowledges that neither the Warrant nor any of the Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) or other securities issued upon the exercise of such Warrant, nor any interest in either, may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, except in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities laws and the terms and conditions hereof. The provisions of this Section 11 shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of the Warrant, if any. The Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) or other securities issued upon exercise of the Warrant shall be subject to a stop-transfer order and the certificate or certificates evidencing any such shares shall bear the following legend:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT THERETO (AND, IN EACH SUCH CASE, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE COMPANY).

(c) The legend described in Section 11(b) shall be removed and the Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue a certificate or certificates without such legend to the Holder of the Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) upon which the legend is stamped if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws or unless the Company, with the advice of counsel, reasonably determines that such removal is inappropriate, (i) such Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, the Holder provides the Company with an opinion of a law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company, in generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (iii) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Shares (or Cashless Exercise Shares, as the case may be) can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided, that in each case the Holder shall submit to the Company such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Company or required by its transfer agent.
