[month, date], 2009 pursuant to which this Warrant has been issued
(the “Purchase Agreement”), the Purchase Agreement
shall control. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in
the Purchase Agreement.
1. Title to Warrant . Prior to the Termination Date and
subject to compliance with applicable laws and the terms hereof,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or
in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the holder
hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of
this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed.
2. Authorization of Shares . The Company covenants that all
shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with
the other terms and conditions hereof, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens
and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
(a) Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at
any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date, and before
the close of business on the Termination Date by the surrender of
this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto duly
executed, at the office of the Company (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to
the registered holder hereof at the address of such holder
appearing on the books of the Company) and upon payment of the
Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or
cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank, the holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the
number of shares of Common Stock so
purchased. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder
shall be delivered to the holder hereof within five (5) Trading
Days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised
as aforesaid. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to
have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to
be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record
of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has
been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and
all taxes required to be paid by Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 5 prior to the issuance of such shares, have been
paid.
(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate
or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a
new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the
unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant,
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with
this Warrant.
(c) Cashless Exercise . This Warrant may also be exercised,
in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless
exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
|
(A) =
|
the closing
price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which
Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a
“cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable
Notice of Exercise;
|
|
(B)
=
|
the Exercise
Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
|
|
(X)
=
|
the number of
Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were
by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless
exercise.

Exercise . This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised on the first date on which both the Notice of Exercise
and payment of the Exercise Price shall have been delivered to the

therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been
exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by
cashless exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder,
if any, prior to the issuance of such shares, having been
paid.
(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon
Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised
in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon
surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of
the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares,
deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to
purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant,
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with
this Warrant.

which the principal Trading Market is open for trading.

. No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant. In lieu thereof, any
fractional shares to which Holder is entitled shall be rounded up
or down to the nearest whole share.
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses
. Issuance of
certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder hereof for any
issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall
be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in
the name of the holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as
may be directed by the holder of this Warrant; provided, however,
in the event certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be
issued in a name other than the name of the holder of this Warrant,
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by
the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the holder
hereof; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the
payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax
incidental thereto.

stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the
timely exercise of this Warrant.
7. Transfer, Division and Combination

(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable
securities laws, transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder,

Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney
and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the
making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if
required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in
the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of
assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant

other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of
the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names

division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a
new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to
be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at
its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or
Warrants under this Section 7.

office, books for the registration and the registration of transfer
of the Warrants.

Exercise . This Warrant does not entitle the
holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder
of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the
surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price, the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be
issued to such holder as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or
payment.

Warrant . The
Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant certificate or any stock certificate
relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it
(which shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
