Subject to Section 2.4 and the final sentence of this paragraph and to the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Exercise Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction 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 entity of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person or entity, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Exercise Shares.  The Holder shall, subject to the following proviso, have the right to pursue any remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Exercise Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant or in the 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

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

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
