The Company shall grant to Creation Capital (Creation Capital and/or its assigns are collectively referred to herein as the “Holder”) warrant(s) (the “Warrant”), in the form of Exhibit A hereto, to purchase shares of Stock at a purchase price of $2.20 per share [which price shall be equal to 110% of the price per share at which the Company sells shares of Stock in its Series E Offering] (the “Exercise Price”) all as more fully set forth herein. The Warrant shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer or any other authorized officer of the Company, and dated as of the date of issuance of the Warrant.

Section 2. Exercise Period of Warrant. The Warrant shall be exercisable at any time commencing on the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the Warrant and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on September 14, 2015 [the fifth anniversary of the original date of issuance of the Warrant] (the “Warrant Termination Date”); provided, however, that in the event of (a) the closing of the issuance and sale of shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company in the Company’s first underwritten

public offering (“IPO”) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (b) a Change of Control (as defined below), the Warrant shall, on the date of such event, become immediately exercisable.

A “Change of Control” shall mean any acquisition of capital stock of the Company, directly or indirectly, any merger, tender offer, recapitalization or asset sale pursuant to which the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction hold less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction or the majority of the assets of the Company are transferred or sold, except that any internal re-structuring or re-organization of the Company that does not change the effective ultimate ownership of the Company shall not be deemed a Change of Control.

Section 3. Term of Warrant Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Warrant Agreement shall become void and all rights hereunder and all rights in respect thereof under the Warrant shall cease as of the Warrant Termination Date except to the extent that the Warrant is exercised prior to such date.

Section 4. Number of Shares. The Warrant shall be exercisable for up to the number of shares of Stock determined in accordance with the terms of the Engagement Letter, and such number shall be indicated on the Warrant, and which shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”).

Section 5. Adjustment Provisions. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Stock underlying the Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

(a) Stock Dividends – Stock Splits. If after the date hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Stock or by a sub-division or a stock split of shares of Stock or other similar event as described in the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Stock, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Designation”), then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares.

(b) Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

(c) Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of the shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant is adjusted, as provided in Sections 5(a) and (b), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of the shares of Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of the shares of Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

- 2 -

(d) When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment in the Exercise Price need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest 1/100^th of a share.

(e) Notice. Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in this Section 5, the Company shall promptly cause written notice thereof to be sent to the Holder in accordance with Section 11 hereof, which notice shall be accompanied by an officer’s certificate setting forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof. Additionally, in case at any time the Company shall propose:

(i) to pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Stock in shares of Stock or make any other distribution to all holders of Stock; or

(ii) to issue any rights, warrants or other securities to all holders of Stock entitling them to purchase any additional shares of Stock or any other rights, warrants or other securities; or

(iii) to effect any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Stock, or any consolidation, merger or sale; or

(iv) to effect any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder in accordance with Section 11 hereof, which notice shall be sent at least fifteen (15) days prior to (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Stock to be entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, rights, warrants, other securities are to be determined or (ii) the date on which any such reclassification, change of outstanding shares of Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, change of outstanding shares, consolidation, merger, sale, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

(c) Net Exercise. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in connection with an automatic conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Certificate of Designation, in lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 1(b), the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Series E Preferred Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder hereof a number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock computed using the following formula:


X =		Y x (A-B)
		A


Where:	X =	The number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this net exercise;

	Y =	The number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock in respect of which the net issue election is made;

	A =	The fair market value of one share of the Series E Preferred Stock at the time the net issue election is made;

	B =	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of the net issuance).

For purposes of this Section 1(c), the fair market value of one share of Series E Preferred Stock (or Common Stock, to the extent all such Series E Preferred Stock has been converted into the Company’s Common Stock) as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq Global Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the net 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 net exercise; and (iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that, if the Warrant is being exercised upon the closing of the IPO, the value will be the initial “Price to Public” of one share of such Series E Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series E Preferred Stock) specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering (net of applicable underwriting commissions).

2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificate for shares of stock upon exercise of this Warrant except in accordance with the provisions, and subject to the limitations of, Section 4 hereof and the restrictive legend on the first page hereof.

3. The Company covenants and agrees that the Warrant Shares will, upon issuance, delivery and receipt of consideration therefor, be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

A-3

The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Warrant Shares to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, and it also will have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of Warrant Shares. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the Warrant Shares may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any pre-emptive or contractual rights of any person or entity.

4. No fractional shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but, instead of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the fair market value per share of Series E Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the date of the notice required by Section 1 above.

5. This Warrant, unless and until exercised, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
