EXERCISE OF WARRANT

2.1

Manner of Exercise

From and after the Issue Date and until 6:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, the Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.

In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company at its principal business office or at the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, together with a written notice of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, and shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price (a) in cash or wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or (b) written direction to the Company to cancel a portion of this Warrant sufficient to satisfy the “cashless exercise” provisions of this Section 2.1. . Such notice shall be 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 of the items referred to above, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three Business Days thereafter, 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 Common 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 request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to Section 9, such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant 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 the holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the notice, together with the cash or check or wire transfer of funds (or direction to cancel a portion of this Warrant pursuant to the “cashless exercise” provisions) and this Warrant is received by the Company as described above and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2.2 prior to the issuance of such shares have been paid. 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. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to register shares in the name of any Person who acquired this Warrant (or part hereof) or any Warrant Stock otherwise than in accordance with this Warrant.

In lieu of payment of the Exercise Price in cash, the Holder may direct the Company to cancel a portion of this Warrant having a value equal to the Exercise Price for the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which the Holder exercises this Warrant, determined by multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant is directed to be cancelled by an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Market Price on the date of exercise and (ii) the Exercise Price then in effect. Payment by such cancellation is referred to herein as “cashless exercise.”

2.2

Payment of Taxes and Charges

All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, freely tradable and without any preemptive rights. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery thereof, unless such tax or charge is a tax on income imposed by law upon the Holder, in which case such taxes or charges shall be paid by the Holder.

2.3

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 would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the date of exercise of the Warrant giving rise to such fraction of a share.

2.4

Early Expiration

If at any time after the Issue Date the Market Price for the Common Stock equals or exceeds 200% of the Market Price on the Issue Date for a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, then the Company may, by notice to the Holder (the “Acceleration Notice”), accelerate the Expiration Date of this Warrant to such date as shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion and set forth in the Acceleration Notice (the “Early Expiration Date”), which Early Expiration Date shall be not less than sixty (60) days, nor more than ninety (90) days, after the date of the Acceleration Notice. From and after the date of the Acceleration Notice, the term “Expiration Date” wherever used in this Warrant shall mean and refer to the Early Expiration Date.

TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION

3.1

Transfer

Subject to compliance with Section 9, transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, 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 pursuant to Section 12, 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, subject to Section 9, 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 canceled. A Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with Section 9, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new warrant issued.

3.2

Division and Combination

Subject to Section 9, 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 Sections 3.1 and 9, 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.

3.3

Expenses

The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3.

3.4

Maintenance of Books

The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfers of the Warrants.

ADJUSTMENTS

The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or 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. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the time of such event.

4.1

Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations

If at any time the Company shall:

(a) declare or pay to the holders of its Common Stock a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock or in Convertible Securities;

(b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock; or

then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable 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 for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the occurrence of such event, and (ii) the then-current Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the then-current Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

4.2

Certain Other Distributions

If at any time the Company shall declare or pay to the holders of its Common Stock any dividend or other distribution of:

(a) cash;

(b) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Convertible Securities or additional shares of Common Stock); or

(c) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Convertible Securities or additional shares of Common Stock);

then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to the date of such dividend or distribution. 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 Company 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 under this Section

The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the current Exercise Price provided for in this Section 4:

(a) When Adjustments to be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. 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 1/10th of a share.

(c) When Adjustment not Required. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to the holders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, 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) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board of Directors of the Company shall be required to make a determination in good faith of the fair value of any item under this Section 4, such determination may be challenged in good faith by the Holder, and any dispute shall be resolved by an investment banking firm of recognized national standing selected by the Company and acceptable to the Holder. The fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company.

4.4

Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets

In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (where the Company is not the survivor or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another Person, or effectuate a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (each, a “Fundamental Corporate Change”) and, pursuant to the terms of such Fundamental Corporate Change, 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 shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, such number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property as is receivable upon or as a result of such Fundamental Corporate Change by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate Change. In case of any such Fundamental Corporate Change, the successor or acquiring corporation (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 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 resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. For purposes of this Section 4.4, “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 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 a specified date or upon 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 4.4 shall similarly apply to any successive Fundamental Corporate Change of the successor corporation.

4.5

Other Action Affecting Common Stock

In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other than any action described in this Section 4, which would have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

4.6

Certain Limitations

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

NOTICES TO THE HOLDER

5.1

Notice of Adjustments

Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the price at which a share of such Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company determined the fair value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in Section 4.2), specifying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.5) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with Section 14.2. The Company shall keep, along with the transfer register maintained in accordance with Section 3.4, copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the Holder.

5.2

Notice of Corporate Action

If at any time:

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or

(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation; or

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 14.2.

NO IMPAIRMENT

The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but 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 (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best 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.

Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to the Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.

RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK

From and after the Issue Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance 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. All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights.

Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the then-current Exercise Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the then-current Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

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 record of such holders, the Company will in each 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.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY

The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall not be transferred, hypothecated or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in legend affixed to the first page of this Warrant, which conditions are intended, in part, to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Warrant or any Warrant Stock. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.

10.

SUPPLYING INFORMATION

The Company shall cooperate with the Holder in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for the Holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any Warrant or Warrant Stock.

11.

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 reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that the written agreement of the Holder shall be sufficient indemnity), and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, in the case of mutilation no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

12.

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.

12.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed in any manner to limit or deny the liability of a Holder in any other capacity, including, without limitation, as a director of the Company.

13.

MISCELLANEOUS

13.1

Nonwaiver and Expenses

No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for hereunder, or fails to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

13.4

Remedies

The Holder in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under Section 2 of this Warrant.
