“Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock are traded on the Principal Market, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock are then traded; provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock are scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock are suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time).
If there is no public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value shall be the price per Share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued Shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(c) The rights represented by this Warrant shall be exercisable at the election of the Holder hereof either in full at any time or in part from time to time and, in the event that this Warrant is surrendered for exercise in respect of less than all the Warrant Shares purchasable on such exercise at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certified copy of the Company’s share register evidencing and representing the Warrant Shares, 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.
SECTION 2.3 Issuance of Warrant Shares. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and payment of the per share Exercise Price, as set forth in Section 2.2, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, issue or cause there to be issued and deliver or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate in the notice provided pursuant to Section 2.2, a certified copy of the Company’s share register evidencing and representing the number of full Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants or other securities or property to which it is entitled, registered or otherwise to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued to any Person so designated by the Holder and such Person shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the delivery of the notice provided pursuant to Section 2.2, the surrender of this Warrant and payment of the per share Exercise Price.
SECTION 2.4 Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company shall at all times on and following August 5, 2008 keep reserved out of its authorized shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.

3
be required for such purpose. All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be duly and validly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all Encumbrances.
SECTION 2.5 Compliance with Law. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of Warrants would require, under any other federal or state law or applicable governing rule or regulation of any national securities exchange, registration with or approval of any governmental authority, or listing on any such national securities exchange before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the Company will cause such shares to be duly registered or approved by such governmental authority or listed on the relevant national securities exchange, at its expense.
SECTION 2.6 Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes, if any, and all other taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of this Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and shall indemnify and hold the Holder and its Affiliates and the Company’s directors harmless from any taxes, interest and penalties which may become payable by the Holder or its Affiliates or any such directors as a result of the failure or delay by the Company to pay such taxes. The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in (a) the transfer of the Warrant, or (b) the issue of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in any name other than that of the Holder or its Affiliates, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock until such tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the satisfaction of the Company that no such tax or other charge is due.
ARTICLE III
Adjustment Provisions
SECTION 3.1 Change of Control Event. 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 immediately prior to the consummation of any of the following transactions with any person(s) other than the Holder or a subsidiary or other affiliate of the Holder: (i) the sale, lease, exchange, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business, or (ii) its merger into or consolidation with any other corporation, or (iii) any transaction (including a merger or other reorganization) or series of related transactions, in which more than 40% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (each event described in the foregoing clauses (i) to (iii) being a “Change of Control Event”), provided that the Company shall give the Holder reasonable prior written notice of the proposed consummation of such Change of Control Event to permit the Holder to exercise the rights under this Warrant. The Company will ensure that the Holder will be entitled to receive the same consideration per share of Common Stock as the other holders of its Common Stock receive in connection with such Change of Control Event.
SECTION 3.2 Changes in Common Stock. In the event that at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall (i) issue any shares of Common Stock, securities convertible into Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or option to acquire Common Stock (ii) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (v) increase or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the happening of such event shall be adjusted so that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of the events described above (or, in
4
the case of a dividend or distribution of Common Stock, immediately prior to the record date therefor). An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall become effective immediately after the effective date, retroactive to the record date therefor in the case of a dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock, and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of an issuance, subdivision, combination or reclassification.
SECTION 3.3 Cash Dividends and Other Distributions. In case at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (i) any dividend or other distribution of cash, evidences of its indebtedness, shares of its capital stock or any other properties or securities, or (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing, then the Company shall include the Holders in such distributions as if the Holders have exercised this Warrant in whole.
SECTION 3.4 Reorganization or Reclassification. (a) If the Company shall reorganize its capital or reclassify its capital stock, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization or reclassification, then, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor Person or of the Company, if it is the surviving entity, or other equitable securities, property or cash receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.
(b) In case of any such reorganization or reclassification, 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 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) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article III.
(c) For purposes of this Section 3.4 “common stock of the successor Person” shall include stock of such Person of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such Person 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 3.4 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations or reclassifications.
SECTION 3.5 Other Provisions Regarding Adjustments. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Article III hereof, the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares of capital stock so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Article III and the provisions contained elsewhere herein with respect to Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.
SECTION 3.6 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, purchasable upon exercise of Warrants is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate of 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, and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of Warrants after giving effect to such adjustment.
SECTION 3.7 Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that the Company shall resolve or agree (i) to pay any dividend payable in securities of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, (ii) to offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe
5
for or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (iii) to effect any reclassification of its Common Stock, capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, or (iv) to take any other action requiring any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrantor the Exercise Price, the Company shall within five (5) business days send to the Holder, a notice of such proposed action or offer, such notice to be mailed to the Holder, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on other property, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other securities or property, if any, purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after giving effect to any adjustment which will be required as a result of such action.
SECTION 3.8 Issuance of Additional Warrants. Prior to the declaration, issuance or consummation of any dividend, spin-off or other distribution or similar transaction by the Company of the capital stock of any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall cause (i) additional warrants of such Subsidiary with, subject to clause (iii) below, substantially similar terms as the Warrants to be issued to the Holder or one or more of its nominees so that after giving effect to such transaction the Warrants and such warrants of such Subsidiary each represent the same percentage interest in the fully diluted number of common shares of such entity as the Warrants represented in the Company immediately prior to such transaction, (ii) any such Subsidiary to enter into a shareholders agreement the Holder and/or its nominees, if appropriate, and (iii) the exercise price of the additional warrants of such Subsidiary to be fixed at $0.01 per share of such Subsidiary’s capital stock.

Miscellaneous
SECTION 8.1 Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice such Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.
