Global Warrants may also be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 11 hereof. A Global Warrant may not be exchanged for another Warrant other than as provided in this Section 5.1; however, beneficial interests in a Global Warrant may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 5.2 hereof.

5.4 Global Warrant Legend. Each Global Warrant shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

(c) All Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Warrants or Definitive Warrants shall be duly authorized, executed and issued Warrants for Common Stock of the Company, not subject to any preemptive rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement, as the Global Warrants or Definitive Warrants surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(d) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Warrant, the Warrant Agent, and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant for all purposes and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(e) The Warrant Agent shall countersign Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof.
5.6 Facsimile Submissions to Warrant Agent. All instructions required to be submitted to the Warrant Registrar pursuant to this Section 5 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.
6. Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable, and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 6.
6.1 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Company shall: (i) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, additional shares of Common
6
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 (a) the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock that a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event and (b) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (1) the Exercise Price prior to such adjustment multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (2) the number of shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
6.2 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 a Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price provided for in this Section 6:
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 6 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable that otherwise would be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, as provided for in Section 6.1) up to, but not later than the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made would result in an increase or decrease, as the case may be, of less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock for which a 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 6 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 pursuant to this Section 6 (but subject to Section 4.3), fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/1000th of a share.
6.3 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Substantially all Assets of the Company. If the Company (or any other entity, the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of the Warrants) shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or resulting entity or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), other than as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or the like provided for in Section 6.1 above (each such event hereinafter referred to as a “Transaction”), and pursuant to the terms of any such Transaction, the consideration to be paid or distributed to or otherwise received by the holders of Common Stock consists of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation or resulting entity and/or any cash, shares of stock (not constituting common stock) or other
7
securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) (such non-common stock property hereinafter referred to as “Other Property”), then each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of a Warrant, solely the number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation or resulting entity and/or such amount of Other Property receivable pursuant to such Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such Transaction. In the case of any Transaction of the type described in the preceding sentence, it shall be a condition precedent to consummation of the Transaction that the surviving corporation or resulting entity assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant Agreement and the Warrants 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 the Warrant Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.3. For purposes of this Section 6.3, “common stock of the surviving corporation or resulting entity” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which does not have a preference 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 exercisable or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or after the lapse of any prescribed time period or the occurrence of a specified event, and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3 shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.
6.4 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 unless the Company shall take such corporate action in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price.
7. Notice to Warrant Holders. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable and describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property for which a 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 Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 14.2. The Company shall keep at its office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12 copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by any Holder or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by a Holder thereof.
8. 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, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary
8
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of a Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value and (ii) 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 any Warrant.
9. Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock. From and after the date hereof, 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. 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 this Warrant Agreement and such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights.
10. Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. 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 (except as may be necessary for the Company to comply with applicable law).
11. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent from any Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Holder’s Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to them, and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equal number of Warrants to such Holder; provided, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if such Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company or the Warrant Agent for cancellation.
12. Office of 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 Agreement. The Company shall initially maintain such an agency at the Warrant Agent’s Principal Offices.
13. Warrant Agent.
13.1 Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent. Any Person into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. If, at the time such successor by merger or consolidation to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Warrant Agreement, any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor
9
Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrants so countersigned; and if at that time any of the Warrants shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrants either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases Warrants shall have the full force provided in the Warrants and in this Warrant Agreement. If at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignatures under its prior name and deliver such Warrants so countersigned; and if at that time any of the Warrants shall not have been countersigned as provided in Section 3.4, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrants either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrants shall have the full force provided in the Warrants and in this Warrant Agreement.
13.2 Certain Terms and Conditions Concerning the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Warrant Agreement upon the following terms and conditions,(4) by all of which the Company and the Holders, by their acceptance of Warrants, shall be bound:
(a) Correctness of Statements.

(d) Reliance on Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with legal counsel satisfactory to it, and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel provided that such counsel shall have been selected with due care.
(e) Proof of Actions Taken. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed conclusively to be proved and established by a certificate signed by
(4) [The wording of this section is subject to modification by agreement of the Company and the Warrant Agent.]
10
the President, a Vice President, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Warrant Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.
(f) Legal Proceedings. The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more Holders shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses that may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action under this Warrant Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may appear.
(g) Other Transactions in Securities of the Company. The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
(h) Liability of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Warrant Agreement except for its own gross negligence or bad faith.
(i) Reliance on Documents. The Warrant Agent will not incur any liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder for any action taken in reliance on any notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties.
(j) Validity of Agreements. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Warrant Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature and delivery thereof); nor shall the Warrant Agent by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Common Stock (or other stock or other property) to be issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant, or as to whether any Common Stock (or other stock or other property) will, when issued, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, or as to the Warrant Price or the number or amount of Common Stock or other securities or other property issued upon exercise of any Warrant.
11
(k) Instructions from Company. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the President, a Vice President, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer or officers.
13.3 Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Warrant Agreement by giving to the Company 30 days’ advance notice in writing. The Warrant Agent may be removed by like notice to the Warrant Agent from the Company. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent, then any Holder may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Pending the appointment of the successor warrant agent, the Company shall perform the duties of the Warrant Agent. After appointment, the successor warrant agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; provided, however, the former Warrant Agent shall be required to deliver and transfer to the successor warrant agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to file any notice provided for in this Section 13.3, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor warrant agent, as the case may be. In the event of such resignation or removal, the successor warrant agent shall mail, first class, to each Holder, written notice of such removal or resignation and the name and address of such successor warrant agent.

The Warrant Agent shall, upon request of the Company from time to time, deliver to the Company such complete reports of registered ownership of the Warrants and such complete records of transactions with respect to the Warrants as the Company may request. The Warrant Agent shall also make available to the Company for inspection by the Company’s agents or employees, from time to time as the Company may request, such original books of accounts and records maintained by the Warrant Agent in connection with the issuance and exercise of Warrants hereunder, such inspections to occur at the Warrant Agent’s Principal Office.

12
destroy all cancelled Warrant certificates and, if requested, deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company.
