2. Transfer; Issuance of Stock
Certificates: Restrictive Legends.
2.1 Transfer.
Subject to compliance with the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2 and the
legends set forth below, each 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 Designated Office, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant in the form of Annex B attached
hereto duly executed by the holder or its agent or attorney. Upon
such surrender and delivery, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees
and in the denominations specified in such instrument of
assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant
evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, if any. A
Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with the provisions
hereof, may be exercised by the new holder for the
2
purchase of Warrant Shares without
having a new Warrant issued. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer thereof, the Company may deem and treat
the registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing thereon made
by anyone other than a duly authorized officer of the Company) for
all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary. All Warrants issued upon any assignment of Warrants shall
be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
rights, and entitled to the same benefits as the Warrants
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.
2.2 Stock
Certificates. Certificates for the Warrant Shares shall be
delivered to the holder within a reasonable time after the rights
represented by this Warrant shall have been exercised pursuant to
Section 1 (but in any event no later than twenty
(20) business days thereafter), and a new Warrant representing
the shares of Common Stock, if any, with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to
the holder within such time period. The issuance of certificates
for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made
without charge to the holder hereof including, without limitation,
any documentary, stamp or similar tax that may be payable in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any income tax to which the holder hereof may be
subject in connection with the issuance of this Warrant or the
Warrant Shares.
2.3 Compliance with Securities
Laws; Restrictive Legends.
2.3.1 Compliance with Securities
Laws. The holder, by
acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of
Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely for the holder’s own account and not as a nominee for
any other party, and for investment, and that the holder will not
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of
Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except under
circumstances that will not result in a violation of the 1933 Act
or applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant,
the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing,
in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the shares of Common
Stock so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s
own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for
investment, and not with a view toward distribution or
resale.
2.3.2 Share Legends.
Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 2, each certificate for Warrant Shares initially
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for
Warrant Shares issued to any subsequent transferee of any such
certificate, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend
in substantially the following form:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION
THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS.

2.3.3 Warrant Legends.
Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 2, each Warrant issued upon transfer shall be stamped
or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR ANY OF THE
SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933
ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT
(1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
1933 ACT AND REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER,
ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS.
2.3.4 Removal of
Legends. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the legend requirements of Sections 2.3.1 and 2.3.2
shall terminate as to any particular Warrant or Warrant Share when
the Company shall have received from the holder thereof an opinion
of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company that
such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the
Securities Act. Whenever the restrictions imposed by this
Section 2 shall terminate, the holder hereof or of Warrant
Shares, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, without cost to such holder, a new Warrant or certificate
for Warrant Shares of like tenor, as the case may be, without such
restrictive legend.
