(d) “Person” (whether or not capitalized) means an individual, entity, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, association, trust, joint venture, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity not specifically listed herein, and any government, governmental department or agency or political subdivision thereof.

(b) Exercisability of Warrant.  The Holder may exercise the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time, from time to time on or after the date that is thirty (30) days following the date of this Warrant, and before 5:00 P.M. New York, New York time, on the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”).
 
(c) Exercise Procedure.
 
(i) The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by delivery of a notice of exercise in the form set forth on the last page hereof (the “Exercise Notice”) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with the next sentence) in an amount equal to the Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased.  The aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares being purchased hereunder pursuant to such exercise may be paid either (A) by cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds, (B) by cancellation of indebtedness, or (C) any combination of the foregoing.
 
(ii) No fractional shares arising out of the above formula for determining the number of shares to be issued to the Holder shall be issued, and the Company shall in lieu thereof make payment to the Holder of cash in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares on the date of exercise.
 
(iii) In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder as soon as practicable and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder as soon as practicable.  Such exercise shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice with respect to such exercise.   The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Warrant Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of such date.

4. No Voting Rights; Limitations of Liability.  This Warrant will not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.  No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder, will give rise to any liability of such Holder as a stockholder of the Company.
 
5. Restrictions on Transfer.
 
(a) The Holder agrees that the Holder will not transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant without the express consent of the Company in its reasonable discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may transfer all or any portion of this Warrant to an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the Holder.
 
(b) The Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall confirm in writing, by executing the form attached hereto, that the securities purchased thereby are being acquired for investment solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other person, and not with a view toward distribution or resale.
 
(c) The certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall have affixed thereto a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to other legends required by applicable state law:
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
 

 
(d) With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof together with a written opinion of the Holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or qualification under any applicable state securities laws, and indicating whether or not under the Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case may be, to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act.  If the Company shall consent to the transfer of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, then each certificate representing this Warrant or the Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the aforesaid reasonably satisfactory opinion of counsel for the Holder or the security holder, as the case may be, such legend is not necessary in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act.  The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
 
6. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) Amendment and Waiver.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended only if the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Holder.

(i) If at any time after the date hereof there is any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price, as applicable, shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.  The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant.
 
(ii) In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding securities of the class and series issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into a continuing corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, unless this Warrant shall have been exercised or terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, shall execute a new Warrant, which provides that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and procure upon such exercise in lieu of each Warrant Share theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger or transfer by a holder of one share of the type of security issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6(h).  The provisions of this Section 6(h)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers or transfers.
 
(iii) If at any time after the date hereof any change occurs in the outstanding capital stock of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 6(h) are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not protect the purchase rights of the Holder in accordance with such provisions, then the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company (which members shall not be Affiliates of the Holder) shall, in their reasonable good faith judgment, make an adjustment in the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the Exercise Price or the application of such provisions, as applicable, so as to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.  The adjustment shall be such as to give the Holder upon exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price the total number, class and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had this Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.
 
(iv) Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6(h), the Company shall issue a certificate signed by its chief financial officer or other executive officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price (and, if applicable, the number and type of security for which the Warrant may be exercised) after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.
