1.  EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)) pursuant to the rights set forth thereunder.  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.  On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit b y facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent").  On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the "Share Delivery Date") so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, i rrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be roun ded up to the nearest whole number.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means $[SERIES B: 2.86] [SERIES C: 2.62], subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Company's Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within five (5) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share register or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such fifth (5thd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a).  In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of an Exercise Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share register or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company's obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercis e that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.  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 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(d) Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Registration Statement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares that are subject to the Exercise Notice (the "Unavailable Warrant Shares") is not available for the issuance of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula in the event that the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice is greater than the Exercise Price (a "Cashless Exercise"):

 

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

 

B= the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

 

C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

D= the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

 

(e) Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 13.

 

(f) Limitations on Exercises.  The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person 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 shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act< /font>").  For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, includi ng the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(f) applies, the submission of an Exercise Notice by the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof and the Company shall be entitled to rely on such deemed representation for all purposes without making any further inquiry as to whether this Section 1(f) applies.

(g) Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock (the "Required Reserve Amount") as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company sha ll immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recomme nd to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

 

2.  ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(b) Voluntary Adjustment By Company.  The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

 

 

 

(c) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date  combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares o f Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 2(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(d) Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(e) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as other wise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

 

3.  RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case :

 

(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Pri ce of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

 

 

 

(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common shares or common stock) ("Other Common Stock") of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

 

4.  PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a) Purchase Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(b) Fundamental Transactions.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section (4)(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and reasonably approved by the Required Holders to the extent the terms set forth in this Warrant would be amended as a result of such Fundamental Transaction in a manner that is adverse to the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of the SPA Warrants in exchange for such SPA Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market.  Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fun damental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock or common shares (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant be en converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Corporate Event but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purch ase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Corporate Event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Event.  Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is (i) substantially the same entity as the Company, that conducts substantially the same business operations as the Company and that owns all or substantially all of the assets owned by the Company, in each case as of the time  immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (ii) a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted or listed for trading on an Eligible Market such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded Common Stock of such Successor Entity,  at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction.

 

5.  [SERIES B: [Intentionally Omitted]][SERIES C: FORCED EXERCISE.

 

(a) If (1) (i) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Initial Exercisability Date exceeds 125% of the Exercise Price on the Issuance Date or (ii) on the 216th day following the Issuance Date, the Market Price calculated as of such date exceeds the Exercise Price on the Issuance Date (each, a "Forced Exercise Event") and (2) there is not then an Equity Conditions Failure, the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to exercise all or any portion of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, in each case as designated in a Forced Exercise Notice (as defined below), into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 1(a) hereof at the Exercise Price as of the Forced Exercise Date (as defined below) (each, a "Forced Exercise").  The Company may exercise its right to require a Forced Exercise under this Section 5 by delivering, by not later than two (2) Trading Days following the occurrence of the applicable Forced Exercise Event, a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of the SPA Warrants and the Transfer Agent (the "Forced Exercise Notice" and the date all of the holders received such notice by facsimile is referred to as the "Forced Exercise Notice Date").  The Forced Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable and shall be considered received by each Holder for all purposes (and the Company shall not be required to confirm receipt or transmission) if properly transmitted to the facsimile number and e-mail address for the Holder which the Company then has on record as provided by the Holder.  The Forced Exercise Notice shall (i) state (A) the Trading Day selected for the Forced Exercise, which shall be not less than twelve (12) Business Hours nor more than two (2) Trading Days following the receipt of the Forced Exercise Notice by the Holder (the "Forced Exercise Date") and (B) the aggregate number of Warrant Shares subject to Forced Exercise from the Holder (the "Forced Exercise Share Number") and from all of the holders of the SPA Warrants pursuant to this Section  5 (the "Holders' Aggregate Forced Exercise Share Number") (and analogous provisions under the other SPA Warrants); and (ii) certify that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure; provided, however, that the Company may not require a Forced Exercise under this Section 5 in excess of the Holder Pro Rata Amount of the Forced Exercise Volume Limitation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not deliver more than one (1) Forced Exercise Notice hereunder.  If the Equity Conditions were satisfied as of the Forced Exercise Notice Date but the Equity Conditions are no longer satisfied at any time prior to the Forced Exercise Date, the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect indicating that, unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions, the Forced Exercise Notice shall be void ab initio and of no further force or effect.  The Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice no later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the Forced Exercise Date which notice shall certify whether or not the Equity Conditions have been satisfied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this subsection shall prevent the Holder from exercising this Warrant, in whole or part, on or prior to the Forced Exercise Date.  The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Exercise Notices tendered from the time of delivery of the Forced Exercise Notice through the Forced Exercise Date.  Upon an Equity Conditions Failure, the Holder may revoke any Exercise Notice delivered after the Forced Exercise Notice is received by the Holder and the Company, within one (1) Business Day of such revocation, shall return the Aggregate Exercise Price applicable to any such Exercise Notice(s) to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds and any SPA Warrants so exercised shall be deemed reinstated and returned to the Holders, if applicable.

 

(b) Pro Rata Forced Exercise Requirement.  If the Company elects a Forced Exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 5(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all of the SPA Warrants.  If the Company elects a Forced Exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 5(a) (or similar provisions under the other SPA Warrants) with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares then outstanding under this Warrant, then the Company shall require a forced exercise of a number of Warrant Shares from each of the holders of the SPA Warrants equal to each Holders' Pro Rata Amount of the total number of warrant s hares subject to such Forced Exercise pursuant to all of the SPA Warrants (such fraction with respect to each holder is referred to as its "Forced Exercise Allocation Percentage," and such amount with respect to each holder is referred to as its "Pro Rata Forced Exercise Amount"); provided, however, that in the event that any holder's Pro Rata Forced Exercise Amount exceeds the outstanding number of warrant shares of such holder's Warrant, then such excess Pro Rata Forced Exercise Amount shall be allocated amongst the remaining holders of SPA Warrants in accordance with the foregoing formula.  In the event that the initial holder of any SPA Warrants shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder's Forced Exercise Allocation Percentage and the Pro Rata Forced Exercise Amount.

 

(c) Holder Exercise Period.  During the Holder Exercise Period, the Holder may not sell on any Trading Day during such period a number of shares of Common Stock that is in excess of 10% of the aggregate dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on such Trading Day; provided that the restriction set forth in this Section 5(c) shall not apply from and after the time this Warrant is either (x) exercised in full or (y) exercised in full or in part pursuant to a Forced Exercise contemplated in Section 5 hereto.

 

(d) Limitations. During the sixty (60) day period ending on the 216th day following the Issuance Date, the Company shall not, and shall cause any Person or Persons associated or affiliated with the Company not to, engage in any purchases of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock other than purchases of such securities from the Company not on an Eligible Market.]

 

6.  NONCIRCUMVENTION.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the fo regoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

7.  WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassifi cation of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company, except as provided in Section 5(a) above.  Notwithstanding this Section 7, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

 

8.  REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.
