5. Delivery

attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set

the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase
hereunder (provided, that, in lieu of the payment of the Exercise
Price, the Holder may have notified the Company in its Exercise
Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise
(as defined in Section 11 hereof)), the Company shall promptly (but
in no event later than five Trading Days) after the Date of
Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a
certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. The
Company shall, upon request of the Holder and subsequent to the
date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the
Warrant Shares, if any, has been declared effective by the SEC, use
its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another

required to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent
cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository
Trust Corporation. A “Date of Exercise” means the date
on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the
Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it),
appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the
Holder to be purchased.
3
(b) If by the fifth
Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver
the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required
pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to
rescind such exercise.
(c) The Company’s
obligations to issue and deliver Warrant 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 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 of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other
Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might
otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in
connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein
shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other 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 certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of
the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
6. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder
for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee
or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of
such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by
the Company; 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 registration of any certificates for
Warrant 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 Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement
of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in
lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also
comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and
pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a
mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such
mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the
Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation
of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all
times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock,
solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant
Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of
this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking
into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and
deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable
Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable.
4
9. Certain
Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i)
pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a
distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and
any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination.
(b) Fundamental Transactions. If,
at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there is a
Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same
amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have
been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the
“Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such
exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration
based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and
the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities,
cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant
following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s
option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a
new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the
Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for
the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of
any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is
effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph
(b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement
security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(c) Number of Warrant Shares.
Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant
to this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be
purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number
of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
5
(d) Calculations. All calculations
under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares
owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the
disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale
of Common Stock.
(e) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the
occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the
Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate
setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant
Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such
adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and
to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
(f) Notice of Corporate Events. If
the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of
cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock,
including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement
contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental
Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the
material terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the
extent such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of
material, non-public information to the Holder) at least 10
calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on
which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to give
the Holder the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior
to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
10. Payment
of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
by delivering immediately available funds if the Holder did not
notify the Company in the Exercise Notice that the exercise was
made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as further described in
Section 11 hereof.
11. Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary (other than Section 12 below), the Holder may, in lieu of
making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the
Company upon exercise, elect instead to receive upon such exercise
the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined
according to the following formula (a “Cashless
Exercise”):
Net
Number = (A x B) - (A x
C)
B
6
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = the
total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then
being exercised.
B = as
applicable: (i) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable
Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 5 hereof on a day that is not a
Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section
5 hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular
trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation
NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading
Day, (ii) the bid price of the Common Stock as of the time of the
Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such
Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading
hours” on a Trading Day pursuant to Section 5 hereof, (iii)
the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date of the
applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a
Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 5 hereof after the close of “regular
trading hours” on such Trading Day, or (iv) if the Common
Stock is not traded in such manner that the quotations referred to
above are available, the fair value per share of the Common Stock
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good
faith.
C = the
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at
the time of such exercise.
12. Limitations
on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired
by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure
that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number
of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder
and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership
of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed
9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares
of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in
order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration
that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental
Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. This
restriction may not be waived. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Warrant, (a) no term of this Section may
be waived by any party, nor amended such that the threshold
percentage of ownership would be directly or indirectly increased,
(b) this restriction runs with the Warrant and may not be modified
or waived by any subsequent holder hereof and (c) any attempted
waiver, modification or amendment of this Section will be void ab
initio.
13. No
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will
be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu
of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the
Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by
the applicable Trading Market on the date of exercise.
7
14. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder
(including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of
(i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this
Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day,
(ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile
number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day
or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day,
(iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by
nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon
actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be
given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to

accordance with this Section), or (ii) if to the Holder, to the
address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or
such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to
the Company in accordance with this Section.
15. Warrant
Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may
appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company
or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting
from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant
agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or
any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate
trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor
warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such
successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its
succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail,
postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address
as shown on the Warrant Register.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall
be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding
sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any
Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable
right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant
may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder
or, if applicable, their respective successors and
assigns.
(b) All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning
the interpretations, enforcement and defense of this Warrant and
the transactions herein contemplated (“Proceedings”)
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in
the New York Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any
Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any New York Court, or that such Proceeding has
been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party
hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing
a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight
delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address
in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit
in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by
law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by
jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party
shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this
Warrant, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be
reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and
other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
8
(c) The headings herein
are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant
and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
(d) In case any one or
more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of
the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in
good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which
shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this
Warrant.
(e) Prior to exercise
of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall not, by reason of being a
Holder, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to
the Warrant Shares.
