2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 Manner of Exercise. From and after the Closing Date, and until

the Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any
part of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant.
In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder
shall deliver to the Company at its principal office or at the office or
agency designated by the Company as provided herein, (i) a written notice
of Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify
the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the
Warrant Price as provided herein, and (iii) this Warrant. Such notice
shall be irrevocable and substantially in the form of the subscription
form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by
the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company
shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, execute or cause to be
executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate
or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of
Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of
any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such
denomination or denominations as the Holder shall reasonably request in
the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or if
permitted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant such other name as shall
be designated in the notice. This Warrant
Page 4 of 18
EXHIBIT A
shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any
other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have
become a Holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date
when the notice, together with the payment of the Warrant Price and this
Warrant, is received by the Company as described above. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of
delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to
purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with
this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be
made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
Payment of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder
by: (i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company, (ii) wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
of the Company or (iii) beginning one year after the Closing Date, the
surrender and cancellation of a portion of shares of Common Stock then
held by the Holder or issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant, which
shall be valued and credited toward the total Warrant Price due the
Company for the exercise of the Warrant based upon the Current Market
Price of the Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly
issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be fully paid and
nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.
2.2 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights
under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be
entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay an amount
in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the
date of exercise multiplied by such fraction.
2.3 Restrictions on Exercise Amount. Unless a Holder delivers to the
Company irrevocable written notice prior to the date of issuance hereof or
sixty-one days prior to the effective date of such notice that this
Section shall not apply to such Holder, the Holder may not acquire a
number of shares of Warrant Stock to the extent that, upon such exercise,
the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such
holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose
beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's
for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held
by any "group" of which the holder is a member, but excluding shares
beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to
acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise
or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) exceeds 4.9% of
the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and
outstanding. For purposes hereof, "group" has the meaning set forth in
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the
Commission, and the percentage held by the holder shall be determined in a
manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act. Each delivery of a notice of exercise by a Holder will constitute a
representation by such
Page 5 of 18
EXHIBIT A
Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph
and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company
with the Commission, that the issuance of the full number of shares of
Warrant Stock requested in such notice of exercise is permitted under this
paragraph.
In the event that the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall apply as
of September ______, 2009, the Expiration Date shall be extended for an
additional 18 months or until the date that the provisions of this Section
2.3 shall not apply, whichever occurs first.
3. Transfer, Division and Combination.
3.1 Transfer. The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely
transferable, subject to compliance with this Section 3.1 and all
applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Securities Act. If, at
the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer
of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this Warrant or the
Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered for resale under the
Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant
Stock as the case may be, at the cost of Holder or transferee, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to
the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state law, (ii)
that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an
investment representation letter in form and substance acceptable to the
Company and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto and
(iii) that the transferee be an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule
501 (a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and
all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to
be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office
or agency designated by the Company as provided herein, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument
of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing
the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall
promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies with the
requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by a new
Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether
the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the
Company. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of
the Warrant Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or other than pursuant to an
effective registration statement, the Holder or transferee shall
compensate the Company for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with effectuating such transfer or resale.
3.2 Restrictive Legends. Each certificate for Warrant Stock
initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate
for Warrant Stock issued to any
Page 6 of 18
EXHIBIT A
subsequent transferee of any such certificate, unless, in each case, such
Warrant Stock is eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule
144(k) or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,
shall bear the following legend:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN
THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR AN
OPINION OF THE COMPANY'S COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
In addition, each certificate for Warrant Stock initially issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Stock issued to
any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, shall bear any legends
which the Company reasonably believes is required or permitted to affix
per the terms of applicable voting or other contractual agreements.
The Company shall facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing the Warrant Stock to be sold pursuant to an
effective Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the
extent permitted by applicable law and this Warrant, of all restrictive
legends, and to enable such Warrant Stock to be in such denominations and
registered in such names as the Holder may request at least five (5)
business days prior to any sale of the Warrant Stock. In connection
therewith, the Company shall promptly after the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and
maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other
authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer
agent, which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Warrant
Stock without legend upon sale by the holder of such Warrant Stock under
the Registration Statement, for such time as the Registration Statement is
effective.
3.3 Division and Combination; Expenses; Books. This Warrant may be
divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the
aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to
compliance with Section 3.1 as to any transfer which may be involved in
such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. The Company shall prepare,
issue and deliver at Holder's expense the new Warrant or Warrants under
this Section 3. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or
agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the
Warrants.
4. Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth in this Section 4.
Page 7 of 18
EXHIBIT A
4.1 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall:
(i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its
outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock;
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares of Common Stock; or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then:
(1) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to
equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquirable under this
Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution
or the effective date of such subdivision or combination would own or be
entitled to receive after such record date or the effective date of such
subdivision or combination, as applicable, and
(2) the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal:
(A) the Current Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record
date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such
subdivision or combination, multiplied by the number of shares of Common
Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
adjustment, divided by
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any
adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
4.2 Certain Other Distributions. If at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding the Company shall cause all of the holders of its Common
Stock to be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(i) cash,
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of
any class or any other securities or property or assets of any
nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common
Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof), or
Page 8 of 18
EXHIBIT A
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of
any class or any other securities or property or assets of any
nature whatsoever (in each case set forth in subparagraphs 4.2(i),
4.2(ii) and 4.2(iii) hereof, the "Distributed Property"),
then upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date for
such dividend or other distribution, the holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock, the Distributed
Property that such holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such
number of Warrant Shares had the holder been the record holder of such Warrant
Shares as of such record date. Such distribution shall be made whenever any such
exercise is made. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in
par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value)
into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be
deemed a distribution by the Corporation to the holders of its Common Stock of
such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.2
and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or
smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification,
such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.
4.3 Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments. The following
provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number
of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Current Warrant Price provided for in Section 4:
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any that would
otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a
subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as
provided for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date of
exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other
adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of
the shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment
representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as
aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as
soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by
this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum
adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any
adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at
the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into
account to the nearest 1/100th of a share.
(c) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company undertakes a
transaction contemplated under this Section 4 and as a result takes
a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive a
Page 9 of 18
EXHIBIT A
dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights or other
benefits contemplated under this Section 4 and shall, thereafter and
before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its
plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or
purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4,
then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the
taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in
respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(d) Escrow of Stock. If after any property becomes
distributable pursuant to Section 4 by reason of the taking of any
record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence
of the event for which such record is taken, a holder of this
Warrant exercises the Warrant during such time, then such holder
shall continue to be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise hereunder by reason of such adjustment and
such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the holder
of this Warrant by the Company to be issued to holder of this
Warrant upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the
event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is
rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be canceled by the
Company and escrowed property returned to the Company.
4.4 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets.
(a) If there shall occur a Change of Control and, pursuant to
the terms of such Change of Control, shares of common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of 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 common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation
("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the
holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this
Warrant shall have the right thereafter for the Balance of the
Exercise Period to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the
number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and the Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such Change
of Control by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.
(b) In case of any such Change of Control described above, the
resulting, successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) and,
if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the
entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock
are entitled to receive as a result of such Change of Control, shall
assume by written instrument all of the obligations of this Warrant
and the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement), subject to such modifications as may be deemed
appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors
of the Company) in order to
Page 10 of 18
EXHIBIT A
provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock into which
this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4. For
purposes of Section 4, common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class
which is not preferred as to dividends or assets on liquidation over
any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not
subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are
convertible into or exchangeable for any such 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 stock. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive Change of Control
transactions.
4.5 Stock Transfer Taxes. The issue of stock certificates upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder for
any tax in respect of such issue. The Company shall not, however, be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that
of the holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or
persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the
amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.
5. No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise and
payment for the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms hereof.
6. Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock. From and after the
Closing Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for
issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of
all outstanding Warrants
7. Taking of Record; Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. In the case of all
dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common
Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a
record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record
and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The
Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as
to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
8. Registration Rights. The resale of the Warrant Stock shall be
registered in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions contained
in the Purchase Agreement. The Holder acknowledges that pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Company has the right to request that the Holder furnish
information regarding such Holder and the distribution of the Warrant Stock as
is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), and the Company
may exclude from such registration the shares of Warrant Stock acquirable
hereunder if Holder fails to furnish
Page 11 of 18
EXHIBIT A
such information within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each
Registration Statement, supplemented prospectus included therein and/or amended
Registration Statement.
9. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation
hereof, the Company, at Holder's cost, will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a
new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, however, that in the case of
mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form
is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
10. Office of the Company. As long as any of the Warrants remain
outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the
principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented
for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in
this Warrant.
11. Acceleration of Expiration Date at Company's Election. The Company
may, at the option of the Board of Directors of the Company, accelerate the
Expiration Date of this Warrant in connection with the consummation of a Change
of Control transaction by giving the Holder or transferee at least 21 days
written notice prior to the anticipated date of consummation of the applicable
Change of Control transaction (the "Accelerated Expiration Date"). As of the
Accelerated Expiration Date, all rights and obligations of the Company under
this Warrant shall become null and void to the extent that the Holder or
transferee shall not have exercised this Warrant as of or prior to the
Accelerated Expiration Date.
12. Miscellaneous.
12.1 Nonwaiver. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right or obligation hereunder on the part of the Holder or
the Company shall operate as a waiver of such right or obligation, unless
the same shall be in writing signed by the Holder or the Company.
12.2 Notice Generally. All notices, requests, demands or other
communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be given
in the manner and to the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
12.3 Successors and Assigns. Subject to compliance with the
