Each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercisable is a "Warrant Share" and all such shares are collectively referred to as the "Warrant Shares."
Section 1.
Definitions.

(b) “Effective Date" shall mean the date on which the Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised.
(c) “Initial Exercise Date” shall mean the date upon which this Warrant receives Stockholder Approval.
(d) "Initial Issuance Date" shall mean the date first written above.
(e) “Stockholder Approval” means that this Warrant is approved and ratified by the stockholders of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, applicable law and Nasdaq Listing Rules.
(f) "Stock Purchase Agreement" shall mean the Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and the purchasers set forth on Schedule A thereto, dated August 27, 2009.
Section 2. Exercise of Warrant; Conversion of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant may, at the option of the Holder, be exercised in whole or in part from time to time, on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, by delivery to the Company at its principal office (i) a written notice of such Holder's election to exercise this Warrant (the "Exercise Notice"), which notice may be in the form of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, properly executed and completed by the Holder or an authorized officer thereof, (ii) a check or other funds (the "Funds") payable to the order of the Company, in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice, and (iii) this Warrant (the items specified in (i), (ii), and (iii) are collectively the "Exercise Materials"); provided, however, that if this Warrant is not exercised in whole immediately prior to the consummation by the Company of a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation designating the rights of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock), then immediately following the consummation by the Company of such Change in Control Event, this Warrant will not be exercisable and shall be null and void for all purposes.
(b) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) business days after the later of (i) its receipt of the Exercise Materials and (ii) the clearing of the Funds, the Company shall execute or cause to be executed and delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share. The stock certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other name or names as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. The Effective Date and the date the person in whose name any certificate evidencing the Common Stock issued upon the exercise hereof is issued shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares, shall be the date the Company receives the Exercise Materials, irrespective of the date of delivery of a certificate or certificates evidencing the Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion hereof, provided, however, that if the Exercise Materials are received by the Company on a date on which the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, the Effective Date shall be the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. In the event that this Warrant is exercised, in whole in connection with a Change in Control Event, the Effective Date shall be the date of the consummation by the Company of such Change in Control Event. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect thereto.

Section 3.
Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a), the Holder may elect to receive, without payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with an Exercise Notice, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
Y (A - B)
X=
A
Where:
X = The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder pursuant to this cashless exercise;
Y = The number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the cashless exercise election is made;
A = The fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock at the time the cashless exercise election is made; and
B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of the cashless exercise)
For purposes of this Section 3, the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if listed or quoted for trading on a securities market or exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average closing price of the securities on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the cashless exercise election; (ii) if traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the cashless exercise election; and (iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as jointly determined in good faith by the Holder and the Company's Board of Directors. If the Holder and the Company's Board of Directors are unable to reach such a determination, the Holder and the Company's Board of Directors shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne equally by the Holder and the Company.

Section 4.
Adjustments to Warrant Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4.
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 4(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.
(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
4
(d) Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be issued will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant in full.
Section 5.
Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to Section 4, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price, describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. When any such adjustment is required to be made, the Company will promptly, but in any event no later than ten (10) days after said adjustment, notify the Holder of the event giving rise to such adjustment and deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.
Section 6.
Registration Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares as set forth below.
(a) If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all Holders; and
(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 6(b) and 6(c) below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all of such registrable securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Holder or Holders received by the Company within ten (10) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s registrable securities.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 6(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 6 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s registrable securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other selling stockholders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.
5
(c) Volume Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, if the underwriters advise the Company that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of securities that may be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to the Company, which the Company may allocate, at its discretion, for its own account, or for the account of other holders or employees of the Company; (ii) second, among all holders of registration rights requesting to include securities in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of registrable securities held by such holders, assuming conversion or exercise.
Section 7.
No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
Section 8.
Transfer of Securities.
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares and any shares of capital stock received in respect thereof, whether by reason of a stock split or share reclassification thereof, a stock dividend thereon, or otherwise, shall not be transferable except upon compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws with respect to the transfer of such securities. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by the provisions this Section 8 hereof and to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any loss or liability arising from the disposition of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof or any interest in either thereof in violation of the provisions of this Warrant.
(b) Each certificate for the Warrant Shares and any shares of capital stock received in respect thereof, whether by reason of a stock split or share reclassification thereof, a stock dividend thereon, or otherwise, and each certificate for any such securities issued to subsequent transferees of any such certificate shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions hereof) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE OF WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER.”

If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a new warrant (the "New Warrant"), but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested.
