Such right may be exercised as to all or any portion of this Warrant and shall be exercised, if at all, by a notice (or notices) specifying the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is to be redeemed (each, a “Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Notice” and the date of delivery thereof, the “Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Notice Date”), which shall be irrevocable provided that the Company complies with its obligations hereunder and except as expressly provided in this Section 9, given to the Company at any time during the period (i) beginning on and including the earlier of (A) the date written notice of a Private Company Organic Change is delivered to the holder of this Warrant, which written notice the Company shall deliver not less than twenty (20) Trading Days prior to such Private Company Organic Change (provided that the Company shall provide such notice contemporaneously with (but not earlier than) the first public disclosure of the information contained therein and simultaneously to the holders of all outstanding Warrants), and (B) the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Private Company Organic Change (the earlier of (A) and (B), the “Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date”), and (ii) ending on and including the date that is three (3) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Private Company Organic Change.

The Company shall pay the Private Company Redemption Amount to the holder of this Warrant simultaneously with the consummation of the Private Company Organic Change. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not enter into any binding agreement or other arrangement with respect to a Private Company Organic Change (other than a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) unless the Company provides that the payments provided for in this Section 9 shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Private Company Organic Change and the Company complies with such provision. The applicable “Private Company Redemption Amount” shall be the product of (I) the result of (X) the Private Company Redemption Value, minus (Y) if all of the Conditions to Redemption Amount Reduction (as defined below) have been satisfied as of the date of consummation of the Private Company Organic Change, the amount, if any, by

which the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Notice Date exceeds the Warrant Exercise Price on such Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Notice Date, or if one of more of the Conditions to Private Company Redemption Reduction have not been satisfied as of the date of consummation of the Private Company Organic Change, zero (0), multiplied by (II) the number of Warrant Shares as to which the holder has demanded this Warrant be redeemed, as set forth in the applicable Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Notice (the date of delivery thereof by the holder being referred to as the “Applicable Redemption Notice Date”), and has not revoked such demand as provided in this Section 9; provided, however, that such number shall not exceed the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant could be exercised on the applicable Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date, minus (a) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has been exercised since the Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date and (b) the number of Warrant Shares as to which the holder has demanded this Warrant be redeemed, as set forth in any Redemption Right Exercise Notices delivered on dates prior to the Applicable Redemption Notice Date, and has not revoked such demand as provided in this Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9, a Warrant Redemption Exercise Notice shall be deemed revoked in full, and shall be of no further force and effect, on an applicable Termination Date (as defined below).”
          b. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that, as of the date hereof, Section 9 of each of the Warrants held by such Buyer shall be amended by adding a new subsection (d) thereto, to read in its entirety as follows:
“(d) For purposes of this Section 9, “Conditions to Redemption Amount Reduction” means the following conditions: (i) during the period beginning on the Warrant Date and ending on and including the date of consummation of the Private Company Organic Change (the applicable “Transaction Consummation Date”), the Company shall have delivered Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants on a timely basis as set forth Section 2(a) of each of the Warrant; (ii) on each day during the period (the “Redemption Amount Reduction Condition Period”) beginning on and including the Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date relating to such Transaction Consummation Date and ending on and including such Transaction Consummation Date, the Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange and the Common Stock has not been suspended from trading on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange; (iii) on each day during the Redemption Amount Reduction Condition Period, a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall be effective and available for the sale of all of the Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, and there shall not have been any Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) applicable to such Registration Statement; and (iv) the Company shall have

11


 

obtained all requisite approvals of its stockholders for the issuance of all of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.”
          c. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that, as of the date hereof, Section 9 of each of the Warrants held by such Buyer shall be amended by adding a new subsection (e) thereto, to read in its entirety as follows:
“(e) If at any time during a period (a “Compensated Exercise Period”) beginning on a Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Transaction Consummation Date and (ii) the termination or abandonment of the Private Company Organic Change as to which such Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date relates and the public disclosure thereof, which public disclosure the Company shall make no later than the first Business Day following such termination or abandonment (a date of such public disclosure, a “Termination Date”), the holder of this Warrant exercises this Warrant as to any Warrant Shares (any such exercise being referred to as a “Compensated Exercise”), and if the holder has delivered a Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Notice on or after such Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date and prior to the date of such exercise (the “Exercise Date”), the holder shall designate in the applicable Exercise Notice whether such exercise revokes such Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Notice as to the Warrant Shares subject to such exercise. With respect to any Compensated Exercise, but without limiting or otherwise affecting the Company’s obligations under Section 2 of this Warrant with respect thereto, the Company shall pay to the holder an amount equal to the product (a “Warrant Exercise Additional Compensation Amount”) of (I) the result of (A) the Black-Scholes Value of this Warrant as to one (1) Warrant Share, except that in calculating such Black-Scholes Value, (x) the Valuation Date shall be the applicable Exercise Date, (y) the “option striking price” shall be the Warrant Exercise Price on such Valuation Date, and (z) the “current stock price” shall be the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on such Valuation Date (with any dispute regarding the calculation of such Black-Scholes Value being resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8(b)(iii) of this Warrant), minus (B) the amount, if any, by which the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Exercise Date exceeds the Warrant Exercise Price on such Exercise Date. The Company shall pay the Warrant Exercise Additional Compensation Amount to the holder of this Warrant no later than the earliest to occur of (1) a Transaction Consummation Date, (2) a Termination Date, and (3) the thirtieth (30th) day after such Exercise Date.
          d. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that, as of the date hereof, Section 9 of each of the Warrants held by such Buyer shall be amended by adding a new subsection (f) thereto, to read in its entirety as follows:
“(f) Upon any Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date relating to a Private Company Organic Change, the Warrant Exercise Price

12


 

then in effect shall be reduced, effective as of such Warrant Exercise Period Commencement Date, to the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date; provided that, in the case of a Warrant Redemption Right Exercise Period Commencement Date relating to a Private Company Organic Change that is not a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall instead be reduced to a price equal to the value, as determined jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant, of the consideration to be received per share of Common Stock by stockholders of the Company in such Private Company Organic Change if such value is less than such Weighted Average Price. In no event shall the Warrant Exercise Price be increased pursuant to this Section 9(f).”
     5. Amendment of Securities Purchase Agreement. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that, as of the date hereof, Section 4(l) of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be amended by deleting the first sentence thereof. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that, on the first date on which no Notes are outstanding, the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be amended by deleting Sections 4(l) and 4(w) thereof in their entirety. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that, upon the consummation of a Private Company Organic Change and provided that the Company complies with its obligations under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents in connection therewith, the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be amended by deleting Sections 4(c) and 4(g) thereof in their entirety.
     6. Modification of August 2006 Waiver and Amendment; Additional Limited Waiver.
          a. Subject to Section 6(c), each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that, as of the date hereof, the reference to “$5,000,000” in clause (W) of the limited waiver contained in Section 4(a) of the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment shall be changed to “$6,000,000,” and the reference to “$1,500,000” in clause (X) of the limited waiver contained in Section 4(a) of the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment shall be changed to “$7,500,000.”
          b. Subject to Section 6(c), each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby waives the occurrence of a Triggering Event under Section 3(b)(vii) of each of the Notes, the breach of the Registration Rights Agreement and such Buyer’s right to receive Registration Delay Payments from the Company resulting solely from the Company’s failure to file the August 2006 Required Registration Statement with the SEC by August 24, 2006 (but for the avoidance of doubt, not from any failure of the August 2006 Required Registration Statement to be declared effective); provided that such waivers are subject to, and conditioned upon, the Company’s filing of the August 2006 Registration Statement with the SEC by no later than October 6, 2006; and provided, further, that, in the event that the Company does not file the August 2006 Required Registration Statement with the SEC by October 6, 2006, the waivers contained in this Section 4(b) shall be null and void and of no force or effect, and there shall be an immediate breach of the Registration Rights Agreement and a Triggering Event under each of the Notes and the Company shall be obligated to make Registration Delay Payments to each of

13


 

the Buyers in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (including, with respect to all days since August 24, 2006), as if these waivers had never been granted.
          c. The limited waivers set forth in Section 4(a) of the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment (as modified hereby) and in Section 6(b) hereof are conditioned upon, and subject to, the validity and enforceability of, and the Company’s performance of, the Company’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement (including the Company’s obligation to pay the Principal of each of the Notes as increased pursuant to Section 1(a)), the voiding, setting aside, determination of invalidity or unenforceability, breach or non-performance of which shall render such waivers null and void and of no force and effect, each Buyer being entitled thereafter to exercise all remedies at law or in equity under this Agreement, the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment and the other Transaction Documents as if Section 4(a) of the 2006 Waiver and Amendment had not been part of the 2006 Waiver and Amendment, as executed, and this Section 6(b) had not been part of this Agreement, as executed. Neither the limited waivers set forth in Section 4(a) of the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment (as modified hereby) nor the limited waivers set forth in Section 6(b) hereof is, nor shall be deemed to be, a waiver under any other circumstance or a waiver of any other condition, requirement, provision or breach of any of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement or instrument.
     7. Termination of Registration Obligations. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that, after the consummation of a Private Company Organic Change and provided that the Company complies with its obligations under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents in connection therewith, the Company shall have no further obligations under Section 2, 3 (other than Section 3(j)) or 8 of the Registration Rights Agreement, and no Investor (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall have any further obligations under Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
     8. Continuation of Transaction Documents. The Company and the Subsidiaries agree and acknowledge that all of the terms and provisions of each Note (as amended hereby), the Warrant (as amended hereby), the Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended hereby), the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment (as modified hereby) and the other Transaction Documents remain in full force in accordance with their terms, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
     9. Company Alternative Conversion Limitation. The Company hereby agrees with each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, that as of and after the date of this Amendment, (a) the Company shall not have the right to effect any Company Alternative Conversion pursuant to Section 8 of the Notes other than pursuant to Special Company Conversions in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) any Company Alternative Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to any of the Notes (other than a Company Alternative Conversion Notice with respect to a Special Company Conversion deemed delivered pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement) as of and after the date of this Agreement shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
     10. September 7 Infinity Notice Null and Void. The Company hereby agrees with each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, that the September 7 Infinity Notice is null and void and of no force or effect.

14


 

     11. Covenants.

Prior to 9:00 a.m., New York time, on October 3, 2006, the Company shall (a) file a Form 8-K (the “8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) describing the terms of this Agreement, any information reasonably requested to be disclosed therein by any Buyer and any material non-public information previously provided by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to any of the Buyers and not subsequently disclosed on a Form 8-K or other publicly-available filing with the SEC prior to the filing of the 8-K, and including this Agreement as an exhibit to the 8-K, all in the form required by the 1934 Act, and (b) publicly issue on a widely disseminated basis a press release (the “Press Release”) in the form agreed to by the Company and each of the Buyers prior to the date hereof; provided that the Press Release shall not be issued prior to the filing of the 8-K. The Company shall provide each Buyer with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the 8-K prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.
          b. Within two (2) Business Days following the date hereof, the Company shall promptly reimburse each Buyer for all of the out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Buyer in connection with the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement.
     12. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that:

15


 

          c. No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the performance by each of the Company and its Subsidiaries of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by each of the Company and its Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes (as amended hereby), the Warrants (as amended hereby), the Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended hereby), the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment (as modified hereby) and the other Transaction Documents will not (i) result in a violation of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws or the organizational documents of any Subsidiary; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a breach or default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitutes or would constitute a breach or default) under, or give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or other remedy with respect to, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected. Except as provided in Section 11(a) hereof, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency, the Principal Market or any other regulatory or self-regulatory authority in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, or under the Notes (as amended hereby), the Warrants (as amended hereby), the Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended hereby), the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment (as modified hereby) and the other Transaction Documents, including, the issuance of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of the Notes (as amended hereby) and the Warrants (as amended hereby), respectively.
          d. No Default. As of the date hereof, there exists no Triggering Event or Event of Default (each as defined in the Notes).
     13. Representation and Warranties of the Buyers.

     14. Avoidance of Doubt.

16


 

     15. Independent Nature of the Buyers. The obligations of each of the Buyers hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of the other Buyers, and none of the Buyers shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any of the other Buyers hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents. Each of the Buyers shall be responsible only for its own agreements and covenants hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. The decision of each of the Buyers to enter into this Agreement has been made by such party independently of any of the other Buyers and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any of the other Buyers or by any agent or employee of any of the other Buyers, and none of the Buyers nor any of their respective agents or employees shall have any liability to any of the other Buyers (or any other person or entity) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, and no action taken by any of the Buyers pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any of the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any of the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the Buyers shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants, the August 2006 Waiver and Amendment, the Security Interest Documents and the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any of the other Buyers to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
     16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The successors and assigns of such entities shall include their respective receivers, trustees or debtors-in-possession.
     17. Further Assurances. The Company hereby agrees from time to time, as and when requested by any Buyer, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements, including secretary’s certificates, stock powers and irrevocable transfer agent instructions, and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action, as such Buyer may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
     18. Rules of Construction. All words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation.
     19. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute

17


 

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 suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement 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 HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
     20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
     21. Section Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect in any way the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
     22. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
     23. Merger. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as amended hereby, represent the final agreement of each of the parties hereto with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or prior or subsequent oral agreements, among any of the parties hereto.
     24. Ratification by Guarantors. By execution hereof, each of the Subsidiaries hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed this Agreement and hereby ratifies and confirms its respective obligations under the Transaction Documents, in each case as amended hereby.
     25. Release Under Security Interest Documents. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries hereby agrees that, as of the first date on which no Notes are outstanding, each of Company and the Subsidiaries releases such Buyers and the Agent and their respective affiliates

18


 

and subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives, as well as their respective successors and assigns, from any and all claims, obligations, rights, causes of action and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, whether foreseen or unforeseen, arising on or before such date, which any such Person ever had, now has or hereafter can, shall or may have for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, which are based upon, arise under or are related to the Notes or the Security Interest Documents, other than with respect to the Agent’s and each of the Buyers’ obligations under this Agreement.
