Section

transfer and registration of the Warrant. Upon the initial issuance
of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant
in the name of the Warrantholder.
Section
2. Transfers . Subject to compliance with the restrictions
imposed by the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall transfer this
Warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose, upon surrender hereof for transfer,
properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for

Section
3. Exercise of Warrant; Limitations on
Exercise . (a) Subject to
the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant,
in whole or in part, at any time prior to its expiration upon
surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of a duly executed
Warrant exercise form, in the form attached hereto as “
Appendix A ” (the “Exercise Agreement”)
and payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds (or,
as provided in Section 19, by cashless exercise as provided
therein) of the aggregate Warrant Price for that number of Warrant
Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal business
hours on any business day at the Company’s principal
executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as
it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder). The Warrant
Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the
Warrantholder or the Warrantholder’s designee, as the record
owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on
which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or the date
evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Company has been provided to the
Company), the Warrant Price shall have been paid and the completed
Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered. Certificates for the
Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Warrantholder
within a reasonable time, not exceeding seven Business Days, after
this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so
delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the
Warrantholder and shall be registered in the name of the
Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated by the
Warrantholder, as specified in the Exercise Agreement. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this
Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time
of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a
new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of shares
with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised. Each exercise hereof shall constitute the affirmation by
the Warrantholder (as if the Warrantholder were an Investor) that
the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1
through 5.9 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all
respects with respect to the Warrantholder as of the time of such
exercise.
(b)
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no
event shall the Warrantholder be entitled to exercise a number of
Warrants (or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants
(or portions thereof) upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Warrantholder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock
which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the
unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of
any other securities of the Company (subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants (or portions thereof) with respect to
which the determination described herein is being made, would
result in beneficial ownership by the Warrantholder and its
Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause
(i) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the limitation on exercise of this
Warrant may be waived by written agreement between the
Warrantholder and the Company; provided , however ,
such waiver may not be effective less than sixty-one (61) days from
the date thereof.
Section
4. Compliance with the Securities Act of
1933 . Except as provided
in the Purchase Agreement, the Company may cause the legend set
forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each
Warrant, and a similar legend on any security issued or issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company is of
the opinion as to any such security that such legend is
unnecessary.
Section
5. Payment of Taxes . The Company will pay any documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided,
however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for
Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Warrantholder in
respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate
for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the
same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has
established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that
such tax has been paid. The Warrantholder shall be responsible for
income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax
is due.
Section
6. Mutilated or Missing Warrants
. In case this Warrant shall be
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in
exchange and substitution of and upon surrender and cancellation of
the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the
Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and
for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such
loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a
lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond
with respect thereto, if requested by the Company.
Section
7. Reservation of Common Stock
. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the
exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall from time to time equal the number of shares sufficient to
permit the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their
respective terms. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued
upon due exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery
of the certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock of the Company.
Section
8. Adjustments . Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 8, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject
to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth hereinafter.
(a)
If the Company shall, at any time
or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, pay a
dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of
Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by
reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any
shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is
the continuing corporation), then (i) the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the date on which such change shall become
effective shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such change and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such change and (ii)
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
to the date on which such change shall become effective by a
fraction, the numerator of which is shall be the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to the date on which such change shall
become effective and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant
Price in effect immediately after giving effect to such change,
calculated in accordance with clause (i) above. Such adjustments
shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
occur.
(b)
If any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation
or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the
Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to
another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall
be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right
to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and
conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares
immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such
shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable
or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant
Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately
theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case
appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and
interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions
hereof (including, without limitation, provision
