(i)                       with the consent of the Company (except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph (i) below), by having the Company withhold, from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be delivered to the Warrantholder upon such exercise, shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant equal in value to the aggregate Exercise Price as to which this Warrant is so exercised based on the Market Price of the Common Stock on the trading day on which this Warrant is exercised and the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company pursuant to this Section 3; provided, however, that such consent of the Company shall not be required if a registration statement under the Securities Act registering for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise either (A) is not effective on the date of such exercise or (B) if such registration statement is not effective on the date of such exercise then, in addition to such failure to be effective, such registration statement has not been effective for at least twenty (20) of the thirty (30) business days immediately preceding the date of such exercise, or

 

(ii)                        by tendering in cash, by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.

 

If the Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised.

 

4.                                       Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Listing . Certificates for Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names as the Warrantholder may designate, subject (with respect to transfers of this Warrant) to the limitations on transfer provided in Section 8, and will be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time, not to exceed three business days after the date on which this Warrant has been duly exercised in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. The Company hereby represents and warrants that any Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of this Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Company agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered on such date. The Company will take all actions necessary to make available the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time, including amending its Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  The Company will procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all principal stock exchanges, if any, on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded.

In lieu of any fractional Share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise less the pro-rated Exercise Price for such

fractional share.

 

6.                                       No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books . This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date of exercise hereof. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against transfer of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

 

7.                                       Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for Shares to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

 

8.                                       Transfer/Assignment .

 

(A)                               Subject to compliance with clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 8, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part (provided that in the case of a partial transfer of this Warrant, the number of Shares subject to the partial transfer shall not be less than 420,988), upon the books of the Company by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of the transferee, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the principal executive office of, or agency designated by, the Company set forth in Section 19. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Company.

 

(B)                                 Unless the Company has failed to pay Obligations (as that term is defined in the Financing Agreement) in full upon the acceleration of the Obligations or upon the maturity of the Obligations (in the case of which failure, this clause (B) does not apply), if the Warrantholder proposes to transfer this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Warrantholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company of such transfer.  The Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed transfer including, without limitation, the number of shares covered by the portion of the Warrant to be transferred, the nature of such transfer, the form, amount and timing of the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.  For a period of ten (10) business days following receipt of the Transfer Notice, the Company shall have the right to purchase the Warrant, or the part thereof, subject to such notice on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein.  The Company’s purchase right shall be exercised by written notice signed by an officer of the Company (the “Company Notice”) and delivered to the Warrantholder within such ten (10) business day period.  The Company shall effect the purchase of the Warrant or part thereof to be transferred on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice.
