by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with
respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment
against any person or entity or any action to enforce the same, or
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or
any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person or

Subscription Agreements, if the Company is for any reason unable to
deliver Exercise Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have no obligation
to pay to the Holder any cash or other consideration or otherwise
“net cash settle” this Warrant.
2.1
Net Share Exercise
. If during the Exercise
Period the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of the
Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of
calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant
by payment of cash or by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, the Holder may, at its option, elect to effect a “net
share exercise” of this Warrant, in which event, if so
effected, the Holder shall receive Exercise Shares equal to the
value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof
being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of
Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a
number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
X = Y(A-B)
A
Where
X =
the number of Exercise Shares to be
issued to the Holder
Y =
the number of Exercise Shares with
respect to which this Warrant is being exercised
A =
the Fair Market Value (as defined
below) of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the
date of such calculation)
B =
the Exercise Price (as adjusted to
the date of such calculation)
For purposes of this Warrant, the
“ Fair Market Value ” of one share of Common
Stock means (i) the average of the closing sales prices for
the shares of Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market or
other Eligible Market where the Common Stock is listed or traded as
reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting
service of
4
national reputation selected by the Company and
reasonably acceptable to the Holder if Bloomberg Financial Markets
is not then reporting sales prices of such security) (collectively,
“ Bloomberg ”) for the ten consecutive trading
days immediately before the Exercise Date, or (ii) if an
Eligible Market is not the principal Trading Market for the shares
of Common Stock, the average of the reported sales prices reported
by Bloomberg on the principal Trading Market for the Common Stock
during the same period, or, if there is no sales price for such
period, the last sales price reported by Bloomberg prior to such
period, or (iii) if neither of the foregoing applies, the last
sales price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the
pink sheets or bulletin board for such security as reported by
Bloomberg, or if no sales price is so reported for such security,
the last bid price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or
(iv) if “Fair Market Value” cannot be calculated
as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the “Fair
Market Value” shall be as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company in the exercise of its good faith
judgment.
2.2
Issuance of New
Warrants . Upon any
partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will
forthwith and, in any event within five business days, issue and
deliver to the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor,
registered in the name of the Holder, exercisable, in the
aggregate, for the balance of the number of shares of Common Stock
remaining available for purchase under this Warrant.
2.3
Payment of Taxes and
Expenses . The
Company shall pay (a) any recording, filing, stamp or similar
tax which may be payable in respect of, and (b) customary fees
of the Depository Trust Corporation and any transfer agent in
connection with, any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the
preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable)
representing, (i) any Exercise Shares purchased upon exercise
of this Warrant and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in the
Holder’s name or the name of any transferee of all or any
portion of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance, delivery or registration of
any certificates for Exercise Shares or Warrants in a name other
than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for
all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or
transferring this Warrant or receiving Exercise Shares upon
exercise hereof.
2.4
Exercise Limitations;
Holder’s Restrictions . A Holder, other than an Excluded Holder
(as defined below), shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or
otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s
affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise,
would beneficially own in excess of [4.9][9.9]% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to such issuance. For purposes of this
Section 2.4 , the 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 the number of shares of Common Stock
which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining,
nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such
Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities
of the Company, subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by
such Holder or any of its affiliates. Except
5
as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2.4 , beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by a Holder that the
Company is not representing to such Holder that such calculation is
in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be
filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the
limitation contained in this Section 2.4 applies, the
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which a portion of
this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a
Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed
to be each Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case
subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company
shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. For purposes of this Section 2.4 ,
in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent
Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a
more recent public announcement by the Company, or (z) any
other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent
setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder,
the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in
writing to such 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 this
Warrant, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The provisions of this Section 2.4 may
be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not
less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the
provisions of this Section 2.4 shall continue to apply
until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by such
Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). For
purposes of this Section 2.4 , an “ Excluded
Holder ” means a Holder (together with such
Holder’s affiliates) that beneficially owned in excess of
[4.9
