(the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, [BUYERS], the registered holder
hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder
”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to
purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below)
then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common

(a)
Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in
Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on
any day on or after the date hereof prior to the Expiration Date,
in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “
Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to
exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of
an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in
cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or
(B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being
exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in
Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the
original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.
Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less
than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as
cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant
evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant
Shares. On or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the
date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice
and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise)
(the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”), the
Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of
confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the
Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “
Transfer Agent ”). On or before the third (3
rd ) Business Day following the date on which the
Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the
“ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall
(X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The
Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares may be
issued without any restrictive legends in accordance with Section
2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, upon the request of the
Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the
Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s
or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the
Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight
courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a
certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in
the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise, which certificate shall bear any legends required in
accordance with Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall
be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of
record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has
been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are
credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery
of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may
be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise
pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares
represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than
the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then
the Company shall as soon as practicable issue a new Warrant (in
accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to
purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior
to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant
Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No
fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be
- 2 -
payable with
respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant.
(b)
Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “
Exercise Price ” means $6.70, subject to adjustment as
provided herein.
(c)
Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If
the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to
the Holder within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such
shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to
credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the
Holder’s exercise of this Warrant or if the Company fails to
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
the applicable Warrant Shares within three (3) Trading Days
after its obligation to do so under clause (ii) below, and if
on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise or receipt that the Holder anticipated
receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In” ), then
the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the
Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either
(i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(the “Buy-In Price” ), at which point the
Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to
issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly
honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing such Warrant Shares and pay cash to the
Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In
Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common
Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of
exercise.
(d)
Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, if a Registration Statement (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the Warrant Shares that
are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “ Unavailable
Warrant Shares ”) is not available for the resale of such
Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole discretion,
exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making
the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company
upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price,
elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net
Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the
following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise
”):

(e)
Limitations on Exercises; Beneficial Ownership . The Company
shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall
not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that
after giving effect to such exercise, such Holder (together with
such Holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons whose
beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such
Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act
”)) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder
and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which
the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude
shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this
Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and
(ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned
by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation,
any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this
Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most
recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other
public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the
case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the
Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer
Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral
request of the Holder, the Company shall within two
(2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case,
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of
securities of the Company, including the SPA Warrants, by the
Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice
to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or
decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in
excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that
(i) any such increase will not be effective until the
sixty-first (61 st )
day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and
(ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the
Holder and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants.
(f)
Insufficient Authorized Shares . If at any time while any of
the Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a
sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common
Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon
exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to 100% (the
- 4 -
“
Required Reserve Amount ”) of the number of shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the
exercise of all of the Warrants then outstanding, then the Company
shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the
Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount
sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve
Amount for the Warrants then outstanding.
2.
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES .
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately
reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately
increased. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately
decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2 shall become
effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
3. RIGHTS
UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . If the Company shall declare or
make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to
acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock (which
dividend or other distribution has not already been given to the
Holders of the Warrants), by way of return of capital or otherwise
(including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or
other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin
off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of
arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “
Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of
this Warrant and prior to the Expiration Date, then, in each such
case:
(a) any
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business
on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares
of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be
reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date,
to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a
fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid
Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately
preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as
determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors)
applicable to one share of shares of Common Stock, and
(ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the
shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding
such record date; and
(b) the
number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares
equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable
immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed
for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled
to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the
fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a);
provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of
Common Stock (or common stock) (“ Other Shares of Common
Stock ”) of a company whose common shares are traded on a
national securities exchange or a national automated quotation
system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase
Other Shares of
- 5 -
Common Stock in
lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of
which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such
warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other
Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder
pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant
immediately prior to such record date and with an aggreg
