(b) Warrant Agent. In the event that a bank or trust company is appointed as trustee for the holder of this Warrant pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, such bank or trust company will have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent appointed pursuant to Section 9 hereof and will accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor entity as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Appointment of Trustee for Warrant Holders Upon Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company, the Company (other than as described in Section 5(a)(C) above), prior to such dissolution, will, at its expense, deliver or cause to be delivered the securities, property, and/or cash receivable by the registered holder of the Warrant after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 5 to a bank or trust company having its principal office in Boston, Massachusetts, as trustee for the registered holder of this Warrant.

(c) Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 5, this Warrant will continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof will be applicable to the securities, cash, and/or property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after or simultaneously with the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and will be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer the person or

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock upon exercise of this Warrant from time to time.

(b) Rights, Preferences and Authorized Shares. At any time prior to the issuance of Series 1 Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will not: (1) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series 1 Non-Convertible Preferred Stock; or (2) increase the number of authorized shares of Series 1 Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be, without obtaining the written consent of the Required Noteholders (as such term is defined in the Note).

7. Notices of Record Date, Etc. During the period that this Warrant is exercisable, in the event of any proposed or contemplated:

(a) taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or

(b) capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, any other person or entity; or

(c) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the registered holder of this Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, or right, or (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is anticipated to take place and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or other securities will be entitled to exchange such stock or other securities for other securities, cash, and/or other property deliverable on such

reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up. Such notice will be mailed at least thirty days prior to the earliest date specified in such notice on which any such action or transaction is to be taken or consummated.

8. Reservation of Securities Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. During the period that this Warrant is exercisable, the Company at all such times and from time to time will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, the quality and quantities of securities from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. If at any time the Company does not have sufficient authorized securities to comply with the foregoing sentence, the Company promptly will take all steps (including without limitation amending the Certificate of Incorporation) necessary to provide the quality and quantity of securities sufficient to effect the exercise in full of this Warrant.

9. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the registered holder of this Warrant, appoint an agent having an office in Boston, Massachusetts for the purpose of issuing securities upon exercise of this Warrant, exchanging or replacing this Warrant, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange, or replacement as the case may be, will be made at such office by such agent.

10. Captions. The captions of sections or subsections of this Warrant are for reference only and will not affect the interpretation or construction of this Warrant.

11. Equitable Relief. The Company hereby acknowledges that any breach by it of its obligations under this Warrant would cause substantial and irreparable damage to the registered holder hereof and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor, and accordingly, acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which the registered holder hereof may be entitled in respect of any breach of such obligations, such holder will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief to prevent the breach of such obligations.

12. Waivers. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder will be valid unless in a writing signed by the registered holder hereof. No failure or other delay by the registered holder hereof exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will be or operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant may be amended and any of its terms may be waived as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as amended from time to time.
