this Agreement shall cease as of the expiration of the Exercise Period, provided, however, that if the Exercise Period ends during a suspension pursuant to Section 4.3, the Exercise Period shall be extended for an additional period of time equal to the longer of the period of such suspension during the Exercise Period and twenty (20) Business Days after the date on which the Warrant Agent sends notice to the Holders of the expiration of such suspension period.

        4.2         Exercise of Warrants .

                    (a)        During the Exercise Period, except as such may be suspended from time to time as set forth in Section 4.3, each Holder may exercise from time to time some or all of the Warrants evidenced by its Warrant Certificate(s) by: (i) surrendering to the Company at the principal office of the Warrant Agent such Warrant Certificate(s) with written notice (in the form attached to this Agreement) duly completed and signed, which signature shall be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution (a bank, savings and loan association or credit union with membership in an approved signature guarantee medallion program) pursuant to Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) paying to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are exercised. Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the date such Warrant Certificate(s) are surrendered to the Warrant Agent and tender of payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is made. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made (1) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company, (2) by certified or official bank check or checks payable to the order of the Company (any such payments under subsections (1) or (2) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America), or (3) by surrender to the Warrant Agent of the right to receive a number of Warrant Shares, calculated to the nearest one one-hundredth of a share, pursuant to the formula below. In the event that a Holder elects to make payment of the aggregate Exercise Price by surrender of the right to receive Warrant Shares as provided in subsection (3) of the preceding sentence, the number of Warrant Shares issuable to such Holder shall be calculated as follows:

                    (b)        In the event that less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates as specified by such Holder evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants, and

5

the Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Company to countersign, issue and deliver the required new Warrant Certificate or Certificates evidencing such remaining Warrant or Warrants pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 3 of this Agreement. The Company, whenever requested by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

                    (c)        Upon the exercise of any Warrants in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall cause the Warrant Agent, on the Company’s behalf, to issue and deliver with all reasonable dispatch, to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants and shall take or cause the Warrant Agent to take such other actions as are necessary to complete the exercise of the Warrants (including, without limitation, payment of any cash with respect to fractional interests required under Section 9). The certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date the Warrants are exercised.

                    (d)        Upon delivery of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant in accordance herewith and of any required new Warrant Certificates, the Company shall direct the Warrant Agent by written order to cancel the Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise. Such canceled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in a manner permitted by applicable laws and satisfactory to the Company in accordance with its written instructions to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the Company all amounts received by the Warrant Agent upon exercise of such Warrants.

                    (e)        The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices given or received pursuant to this Agreement available for inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at its office. The Company shall, at its sole expense, supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Agreement as the Warrant Agent may reasonably request.

        4.3         Registration of Warrant Shares; Suspension of Exercise Period .

                    (a)        The Company shall use its Commercially Reasonable Best Efforts to (i) file under the Securities Act, within two hundred seventy (270) days of the date hereof, the Registration Statement, (ii) cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within three hundred sixty six (366) days of the date hereof and (iii) keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Exercise Period, and will make such number of Qualifying Prospectuses available to Holders as they shall reasonably request. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued, and the right to exercise all Warrants shall be suspended, for all periods during which there is not an effective Registration Statement and/or there is not a Qualifying Prospectus available to Holders. The Company shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent of any such suspension, and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty, responsibility or liability in respect of any shares of Common Stock issued or delivered prior to its receipt of such notice. The Company shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent of the termination of any such suspension, and the Company shall cause the Warrant Agent to notify the Holders of the termination of such

6

suspension promptly following notice to the Warrant Agent by the Company. Should the ability of the Holders to exercise the Warrants be suspended for more than an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any three hundred sixty five (365) day period pursuant to this Section 4.3(a), the Exercise Period shall be extended by the aggregate number of days in such suspension period(s) in excess of sixty (60) days. The Company represents and warrants that the issuance of the Warrants is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.

                    (b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice of the exercise of such right to the Warrant Agent, at any time and from time to time, to suspend the Exercise Period or delay filing for a period not in excess of 60 calendar days during any consecutive three hundred sixty-five (365) day period beginning on the date on which such notice is given, or such shorter period of time as may be specified in such notice or in a subsequent notice delivered by the Company to such effect, if (i) th
