(d) issue any shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other equity securities to independent third parties (e.g., investment banks, investor relations firms, consultants that are not affiliates of the Company) in excess of 2% of the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial Issuance Date;
 
*****
 
(h) issue any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Purchase Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (as adjusted from time to time to reflect stock slits, stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations and other similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock);…”
 
E. The Company is seeking to effect a financing (the “Financing”) with Tullis, Aisling, the Sutaria Stockholders and Reid (collectively, the “STAR Note Holders”) on substantially the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheets annexed hereto as Exhibit A;

2

 
H. The Company has requested that Tullis and Aisling waive their rights arising out of such defaults, which are continuing;
 
I. As of the date hereof, the Sutaria Stockholders own or have the power and authority to vote with respect to collectively 35,686,738 shares of Common Stock, which represent in the aggregate approximately 45.2% of the total issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Company (“Shares”);
 
J. As a condition to the willingness of Tullis and Aisling to enter into this Agreement, to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing and to waive the Existing Defaults (as defined below), Tullis and Aisling have required that the Sutaria Stockholders enter into certain voting agreements as contemplated hereby and that the Company exchange the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for new shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and exchange the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants for New Warrants (as defined below);
 
K. The exchange of the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants for New Warrants, and the exchange of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for new shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, are being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and
 
L.  To the extent set forth herein, Tullis and Aisling desire to waive their rights under the Purchase Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation with respect to the Financing in exchange for agreements set forth herein.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Waiver.

(a)  Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation, Tullis and Aisling, the owners of all of the outstanding shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock and constituting the “Required Holders,” as such term is defined the Series B-1 COD and Series C-1 COD, hereby consent to the Financing and waive the application of the Purchase Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation with respect to the Financing, and such other limitations as may affect the Financing which are contained in the Series B-1 COD, the Series C-1 COD, the Tullis Purchase Agreement and the Aisling Purchase Agreement, solely with respect to the Financing (the “Financing Consent”).
 
(b)  Each of Tullis and Aisling hereby waive the Existing Defaults (the “Default Waiver” and, together with the Financing Consent, the “Consent and Waiver”). “Existing Defaults” shall mean the following defaults and Triggering Events under each of (i) the Tullis Purchase Agreement and the Aisling Purchase Agreement; (ii) the Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD; and (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement: (A) the failure of the Company to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (and deliver to Tullis and Aisling) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007; and (B) the failure of the Company to prevent the suspension of trading of its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange as a result of (A). This Consent and Waiver shall be limited to those matters described herein, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring hereafter.
 
3

 
(c)  As a condition to the effectiveness of the Consent and Waiver, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have passed a resolution substantially in the following form:
 
“RESOLVED, that all securities to be issued from and after the date hereof to Tullis, Aisling, or any other person or entity that, at the time of such issuance, has a representative on the Board of Directors of the Company, including, without limitation, all securities issued pursuant to the Series B-1 COD, the Series C-1 COD, the Certificate of Designations, the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants, the New Warrants, and any other securities to be issued by the Company to any such person or entity, shall be made in accordance with, and shall be subject to the exemptions contained in, Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.”
 
Section 2.  Exchange of Series B-1 Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred and Warrants
 
(a)  Information Statement.  In connection with this Agreement, the holders of a majority of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote have executed a written consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B approving the issuance of all of the securities contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but no later than November 21, 2007, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”), which has been previously reviewed by Tullis, Aisling and counsel of their choice, setting forth information regarding the Stockholder Approval. As soon as practicable thereafter, but no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than February 28, 2008, the Company shall provide each stockholder of the Company the Information Statement in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange; provided, however, that in the event of a review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Information Statement which shall not be concluded by February 15, 2008, the Company shall provide each stockholder of the Company the Information Statement in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange within ten (10) business days of clearing comments received from the SEC. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to address any SEC comments on the Information Statement and to mail the Information Statement as soon as practicable.
 
(b) Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(a), in the event that, under applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange, the stockholders of the Company are unable to act by written consent, the Company shall, as soon as practicable, but no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than January 31, 2008, provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which initially shall be promptly called and held not later than February 28, 2008 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement, soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of the resolutions set forth in the Stockholder Approval, and the Company shall solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held every three (3) months thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained.

(c)  Filing of Certificate of Designations; Reservation of Shares.  The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized a new series of convertible preferred stock of the Company designated as Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, the terms of which are set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designations”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Series D-1 Stock”), which Series D-1 Stock shall be convertible into the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Promptly upon obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Company shall file the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Financing and upon conversion of the D-1 Stock and exercise of the New Warrants (as defined below).

(d) Exchange of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock. As soon as practicable after the Stockholder Approval, in consideration of the Consent and Waiver, the Company shall issue the Series D-1 Stock to Aisling and Tullis in exchange for the shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock. Each share of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock shall be exchanged for 1.04125 shares of Series D-1 Stock.

(e) Exchange of Warrants. As soon as practicable, in consideration of the Consent and Waiver, the Company shall issue a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “New Warrant”) to Aisling and Tullis in exchange for the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants. Each New Warrant will provide for an exercise price of $0.95 per share and shall be exercisable for 2,281,914 shares of common stock.

(f) Waiver of Dividends. In consideration of the agreements set forth herein, Aisling and Tullis waive their right to receive dividends on the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007.

(g) Holding Period. For the purposes of Rule 144, the Company acknowledges that the holding period of (i) the New Warrants (and the shares for which the New Warrants are exercisable) may be tacked onto the holding period of the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants (in the case of a Cashless Exercise, as defined in the New Warrants)) and (ii) the Series D-1 Stock (and the shares for which the Series D-1 Stock is convertible) may be tacked onto the holding period of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock, and the Company agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section 2(g). The Company’s acknowledgement and agreement set forth in this Section 2(g) shall be subject in all respect to Rule 144 and other applicable securities laws, as may be in effect from time to time.

For purposes of the Tullis Purchase Agreement, the Aisling Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agrees that the Series D-1 Stock shall be treated as shares issued in replacement of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock, and the term “Preferred Shares” in the Tullis Purchase Agreement, Aisling Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement shall mean and include the Series D-1 Stock and any shares issued in replacement thereof in accordance with the terms thereof.

 (a)
Each of PS and the Sutaria Stockholders are, simultaneously herewith, executing the Stockholder Approval. Each of PS and the Sutaria Stockholders hereby agree that at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written consent of the Company’s stockholders, each of PS and the Sutaria Stockholders shall vote their shares of voting capital stock of the Company: (i) in favor of the Stockholder Approval; (ii) in favor of the Certificate of Designations; (iii) in favor of the Financing; and (iv) against any proposal or any other corporate action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Tullis Purchase Agreement, the Aisling Purchase Agreement or this Agreement not being fulfilled. Each of PS and the Sutaria Stockholders acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of each of the Exhibits hereto.

(b)

6

 
(iii)  
the Proxy and this Agreement have been duly authorized and approved by each of the Sutaria Stockholders;

(iv)  
he has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Proxy and this Agreement; and

(v)  
by a date that is not more than sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, he shall take such steps that shall be necessary so as to appoint Raj Sutaria as his successor as the sole managing member of Rajs Holdings, Rametra Holdings, and P&K Holdings in the event of his death or incapacity.

Section 5. Certain Transfer Restrictions with Respect to Sutaria Stockholders; Tag Along Rights.

(a)  Securities Notice. If any Sutaria Stockholder proposes to Transfer (as defined in Section 5(d) below) any shares of capital stock of the Company (“Shares”) held by it (each a “Selling Stockholder” and, together with any other Selling Stockholder(s), the “Selling Stockholders”) to a third party purchaser (the “Third Party Purchaser”) other than as otherwise agreed by both Tullis and Aisling in writing prior to such Transfer and other than any Exempt Transfer (as defined in Section 5(d) below), the Selling Stockholders shall, no less than twenty (20) business days prior to the consummation of such Transfer, send written notice (an “Offering Notice”) to Tullis, Aisling and Reid, which shall state (a) the identity of the Third Party Purchaser; (b) the type and number of such securities proposed to be transferred (the “Offered Securities”), including detailed terms of such securities (if other than Common Stock); (c) the proposed purchase price per share for the Offered Securities (the “Offer Price”); and (d) the terms and conditions of such sale. The Selling Stockholders hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, they shall not, at any time, sell or otherwise transfer in the aggregate more than 12 million of the Shares in a conveyance or conveyances that are not Exempt Transfers without the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b)  Tag-Along Right. If a Selling Stockholder is directly or indirectly transferring Offered Securities to a Third Party Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(a), then each of Tullis, Aisling and Reid shall have the right to sell to such Third Party Purchaser that number of shares equal to that percentage of the Offered Securities determined by dividing (i) the total number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (on an as converted basis) then owned by Tullis, Aisling or Reid, as the case may be, by (ii) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) then owned by Tullis, Aisling and Reid and (y) the total number of Shares then owned by the Selling Stockholders, in the aggregate, at a price equal to the Offer Price, with other terms set forth in the Offering Notice. The Selling Stockholders and Tullis, Aisling and Reid shall effect the sale of the Offered Securities and Tullis, Aisling and Reid shall sell the number of Offered Securities to be sold by them pursuant to this Section 5, and the number of Offered Securities to be sold to such Third Party Purchaser by the Selling Stockholder(s) shall be reduced accordingly.
 
7


(c)  Timing.  The tag-along rights provided by this Section 5 must be exercised by Tullis, Aisling and Reid within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of the Offering Notice, by delivery of a written notice to PS indicating Tullis, Aisling or Reid’s election to exercise his or its rights and specifying the number of shares (up to the maximum number of shares owned by Tullis, Aisling or Reid required to be purchased by such Third Party Purchaser) each of them elects to sell (the “Tag-along Exercise Notice”), provided that Tullis, Aisling or Reid may waive its rights under this Section prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) business day period by giving written notice to PS. The failure of Tullis, Aisling or Reid to respond within such fifteen (15) business day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of their rights under this Section and such proposed Transfer of Shares will be classified as an Exempt Transfer.

(d)  Exempt Transfers. The tag-along rights set forth in this Section 5 shall not apply to (i) any transfer to a Permitted Holder (as defined below); provided that any such Permitted Holder agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and, if appropriate, the Proxy, in place of the relevant transferor, in an agreement in form satisfactory to counsel to Tullis, Aisling and Reid; or (ii) the sale in an unsolicited broker’s transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Exempt Transfers”). “Transfer” shall mean a sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposal of, mortgage, entering into any voting trust or other agreement, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to Shares, whether directly or indirectly and whether voluntarily or involuntarily. “Permitted Holders” means Raj Sutaria, Mona Rametra, Perry Sutaria, and their respective estates, spouses, ancestors and lineal descendants, the legal representatives of any of the foregoing and the trustees of any bona fide trusts of which the foregoing are the sole beneficiaries or the grantors, or any entity of which the foregoing “beneficially owns” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), individually or collectively with any of the foregoing, at least 51% of the total voting power of the voting stock of such entity.

(e) Prohibited Transfers. Any Transfer of Shares not made in conformance with this Agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company.

(f) Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall terminate as to Aisling or Tullis on such date that such party holds less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of shares of Series D-1 Stock issued to it pursuant to this Agreement (or shares into which such Series D-1 Stock have converted, or if such Offered Securities are offered prior to the exchange of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for Series D-1 Stock, the number of shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock, respectively) (the “Minimum Percentage”). The provisions of this Section 5 shall terminate as to Reid on such date that he holds less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the original principal amount of the Company’s Secured Convertible 12% Notes issued to him in connection with the Financing (or shares into which such convertible notes have converted).
 
8


Section 6. Board Representation.  So long as Aisling holds the Minimum Percentage of Series D-1 Stock (or shares into which such shares of Series D-1 Stock have converted), Aisling shall have the right to nominate one individual to serve as a director on the Company’s Board of Directors. Aisling shall have the right to appoint such individual or to waive its right to appoint such individual at any time. Tullis, PS and the Sutaria Stockholders agree to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by them, or over which they have voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of stockholders, Aisling’s nominee, if any, shall be elected to the Board.

(c)  Recapitalization. This Agreement is intended to apply to all shares of the capital stock of the Company now or hereafter held by the PS and the Sutaria Stockholders. In the event that the PS or any of the Sutaria Stockholders acquire any additional shares of the capital stock of the Company hereafter, or in the event of any capital reorganization of the Company or if any Shares shall be reclassified, classified, split, exchanged, or changed in any manner, this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to all the shares of capital stock received and owned by PS and the Sutaria Stockholders.
 
(d)  Benefit and Burden. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their legatees, distributees, estates, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors assigns and legal representatives. Each transferee or assignee of any Shares subject to this Agreement shall continue to be subject to the terms hereof and, as a condition precedent to the Company’s recognizing such transfer, each transferee or assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall not permit the transfer of the Shares subject to this Agreement on its books or issue a new certificate representing any such Shares unless and until such transferee shall have complied with the terms of this Agreement. Each certificate representing the Shares subject to this Agreement shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 7(f) below.
 
(e)  Remedies. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that Aisling and Tullis will be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the undersigned in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that each of Aisling and Tullis shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to specific performance of this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter jurisdiction. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
 
(f)  Legend on Shares. Each certificate representing any Shares shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows:
 

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING PROXY AND WAIVER AGREEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME (COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY), AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT VOTING PROXY AND THAT WAIVER AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP SET FORTH THEREIN.”
 
11

The parties to this Agreement agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 7(f) and/or the failure by the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of the Proxy and this Agreement, shall not affect the validity or enforcement of the Proxy or this Agreement.

36

 
(b)  Company's Response. Upon receipt by the Company of copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (A) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause the Transfer Agent to issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion, as may be required pursuant to Section 2(d)(vii), is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) (the "Preferred Share Delivery Date") and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted.
 
(c)  Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Closing Sale Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Closing Sale Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Closing Sale Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company's independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause, at the Company's expense, the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holders of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.
 
37

 
(d)  Miscellaneous; Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
 
(e)  Company's Failure to Timely Convert.
 
(i)  Cash Damages. If (I) within ten (10) calendar days after the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Preferred Shares (a "Conversion Failure") or (II) within ten (10) calendar days of the Company's receipt of a Preferred Share Certificate the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii), then in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to Section 9(k) thereof), the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected and/or each day after the Preferred Share Delivery Date that such Preferred Share Certificate is not delivered in an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a Preferred Share Certificate to the Holder on or prior to the Preferred Share Delivery Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares represented by such Preferred Share Certificate as of the Preferred Share Delivery Date and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date, in the case of the failure to deliver Common Stock, or the Preferred Share Delivery Date, in the case of failure to deliver a Preferred Share Certificate. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(d)(v) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Holder or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Preferred Shares, and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business 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, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock 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 Sale Price on the Conversion Date.
 
38

 
(ii)  Void Conversion Notice; Adjustment of Conversion Price. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of Preferred Shares, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Transfer Agent, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder's Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder's Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(d)(v)(A) or otherwise. Thereafter, the Conversion Price of any Preferred Shares returned or retained by the Holder for failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I) the Conversion Price relating to the voided Conversion Notice and (II) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion Notice, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.
 
39

 
(f)  Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. Subject to Section 12, in the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata amount of such Holder's Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 2(d)(iii).
 
(g)  Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, any Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Preferred Shares. The Holders and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:
 
ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 2(d)(vii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(d)(vii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.
 
3.5 Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof) and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.
 
3.6 Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2(f).
 
(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2(f) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company but excluding Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the "New Securities Issuance Price") less than a price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such time (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately after such issue or sale, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the New Securities Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 2(f)(i), the following shall be applicable:
 
(i)  Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(A), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
 
41

 
(ii)  Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(B), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(f)(i), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
42

 
(iii)  Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
 
(iv)  Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the fair market value of such Options. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
 
43

 
(v)  Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (I) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the 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) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
 
(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(f) but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2(f).
 
(d) Notices.
 
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 2(f), the Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2(d)(iii).
 
44

 
(ii) The Company will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.
 
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.
 
(e) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. The Company may at any time, while any Series D-1 Preferred Shares are outstanding, reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any price deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
ARTICLE IV.Triggering Event.
 
4.1 Triggering Event. A "Triggering Event" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:
 
(a) the Company's (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B) notice, written or oral, to any Holder, including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for conversion of any Preferred Shares into Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations;
 
(b) the Company's failure to pay to the Holder any Dividends, Redemption Price, Change of Control Redemption Price, or other amounts when and as due pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement);
 
(c) any event of default occurs with respect to any Indebtedness, including borrowings under the Credit and Security Agreement dated as of February 9, 2006 (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), under which the obligee or obligees of such Indebtedness are entitled to and do accelerate the maturity of at least an aggregate of $3,000,000 million in outstanding Indebtedness; or
 
45

 
(d) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition herein or in any Transaction Document; provided, however, that (A) in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition herein or in any Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach remains uncured for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days after the expiration of any applicable cure period and (B) in the case of any representation, warranty or covenant which is not already so qualified, the breach of the representation, warranty or covenant by the Company could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) on the Company or on the Holder.
 
4.2 Redemption Option Upon Triggering Event. In addition to all other rights of the Holders contained herein, after a Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to the greater of (x) the Conversion Amount and (y) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (as defined below) and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Triggering Event (the "Triggering Redemption Price").
 
4.3 Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Buyer.
 
(a) Within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of a qualifying Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Triggering Event") to each Holder.
 
(b) At any time after the earlier of a Holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any Holder of Preferred Shares then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder") to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem.
 
4.4 Payment of Redemption Price. Upon the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer from any Holder, the Company shall immediately notify each Holder by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such notice(s). The Company shall deliver on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder the applicable Redemption Price to all Holders that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder; provided that, if required by Section 2(d)(vii), a Holder's Preferred Share Certificates shall have been delivered to the Transfer Agent. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 3 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Preferred Shares submitted for redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by all Holders and (ii) in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under this Certificate of Designation and the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay to each Holder interest at the rate of 3.0% per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of each unredeemed Preferred Share until paid in full. The Holders and Company agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any Preferred Shares under this Section 3, the Holders' damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 3 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders' actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
 
46

 
4.5 Void Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay the Redemption Price within the time period set forth in Section 3(d), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption by such Holder under this Section 3 and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the "Void Optional Redemption Notice"). Upon the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall be null and void with respect to those Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Preferred Shares shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company.
 
4.6 Disputes; Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2(d)(iii) above with the term "Redemption Price" being substituted for the term "Conversion Rate". A Holder's delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 3 of less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a particular Preferred Share Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder of such Preferred Shares a Preferred Share Certificate representing the remaining Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed, if necessary.
 
47

 
ARTICLE V.Other Rights of Holders.
 
5.1 Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Preferred Shares in exchange for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the Stated Value and Dividend Rate of the Preferred Shares held by such holder and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. 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 Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations 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 Certificate of Designations 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 conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such publicly traded common shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares.
 
5.2 Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares) 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 Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
 
48

 
ARTICLE VI.[Reserved].
 
ARTICLE VII.Authorized Shares.
 
7.1 Reservation. The Company shall have reserved not less than 25,000,000 of the shares of its authorized Common Stock for the conversion of the Preferred Shares and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of all of the Warrants. The Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock the number of shares required to be reserved by the this paragraph (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the "Required Amount"). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Preferred Shares or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the "Authorized Share Allocation"). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.
 
7.2 Insufficient Authorized Shares. After the Capital Increase, if at any time while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to have available for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Amount (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall as promptly as practicable take use reasonable best efforts to increase the Company's authorized Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to have available the Required Amount for the Preferred Shares then outstanding.
 
ARTICLE VIII.Voting Rights.
 
8.1 General Voting. Each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's Preferred Shares would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders, and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock. Each holder shall be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any stockholders' meeting as is provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior notice of all stockholder actions to be taken by legally available means in lieu of a meeting and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock on all matters, except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be submitted to a class vote of the Holders of Preferred Shares, in which case the Holders of Preferred Shares only shall vote as a separate class.
 
49

 
8.2 Board Size. The authorized number of directors of the Company's Board of Directors shall initially be five (5); provided, however, that at any time following the approval of the Required Holders the authorized number of directors of the Company's Board of Directors may be increased or decreased from five (5) members.
 
8.3 Board of Directors Election. So long as Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (the "Investor") or an affiliate of the Investor continues to hold at least twenty five percent (25%) of the cumulative aggregate number of Preferred Shares issued to the Investor on the Initial Issuance Date, the Investor shall be entitled to elect one (1) director to the Board of Directors of the Company (an "Investor Designee") at each annual election of directors; provided, however, that any Investor Designee other than Joan P. Neuscheler must be approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At any meeting held of the purpose of electing or nominating directors, the presence in person or by proxy of the Investor or its designee shall constituted a quorum for the election or nomination of the Investor Designee. Any director elected as provided herein may be removed during the aforesaid term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the Investor or its designee, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the Investor or its designee represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent of such holders. In case of any vacancy (other than a vacancy caused by removal) in the office of a director occurring among the director elected by the Investor or its designee pursuant hereto, the vacancy thereby created may be filled by the Investor or its designee represented at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to written consent of the Investor or its designee.
 
ARTICLE IX.Change of Control Redemption Right. (a) No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (a "Change of Control Notice"). In the event that the Successor Entity is not a publicly traded corporation whose common shares are quoted or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, at any time during the period (the "Change of Control Period") beginning after a Holder's receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, such Holder may require the Company to redeem prior to any payment on any Junior Shares (as defined below) all or any portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof ("Change of Control Redemption Notice") to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to (the "Change of Control Redemption Price") the greater of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the aggregate Change of Control Transaction Consideration (as defined below) by (II) the Conversion Price. In the event that any of the Change of Control Redemption Price is based on any Non-Cash Consideration (as defined below) (a "Non-Cash Change of Control"), then the Holder shall be entitled to indicate in its Change of Control Redemption Notice (the "Alternate Change of Control Redemption") that the Change of Control Redemption Price shall be equal to (i) cash in an amount equal to 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed, (ii) in exchange for the surrender to the Company of the Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares (as defined below), the Change of Control Dividend Share Payment (as defined below) (the cash payments under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as the "Alternate Change of Control Cash Payment") and (iii) as to the Change of Control Balance Amount (as defined below), the same form of consideration per share of Common Stock as that paid upon consummation of the Change of Control. The Company shall make payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise (the "Change of Control Redemption Date"). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 8(a) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c)(i). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Preferred Shares under this Section 8(a), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 8(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the Change of Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 3(e) with the term "Change of Control Redemption Price" being substituted for "Redemption Price" and "Change of Control Redemption Notice" being substituted for "Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder".
 
50

 
For purposes of this Section 8(a), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

"Change of Control Balance Amount" means a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Change of Control Cash Balance Amount divided by (y) Change of Control Transaction Consideration.
 
51


"Change of Control Cash Balance Amount" means (A) the product of (x) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) the sum of (I) the Total Dividend Shares and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount at then applicable Conversion Price minus (B) the Alternate Change of Control Cash Payment.

"Change of Control Dividend Share Payment" means a cash payment equal to the product of (x) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) the number of Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares.

"Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares" means a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the number of Dividend Shares previously issued to the Holder (the "Total Dividend Shares") and (y) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration.

"Change of Control Transaction Consideration" means an amount per share of Common Stock equal to the cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration ("Non-Cash Consideration") per share of Common Stock to be paid to the holders of Common Stock upon consummation of the Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration consisting of marketable securities to be valued at the higher of the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to or the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control and any other non-cash consideration to be valued in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).

Solely for purposes of clarification, in the event of a Non-Cash Change of Control and assuming that (a) the Non-Cash Change of Control occurs on the one year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (b) that 10,000 Preferred Shares are outstanding (such that the Conversion Amount equals $10,000,000), (c) there are no accrued but unpaid Dividends at such time, (d) Dividend Shares were issued at the Conversion Price (such that the 8.25% Dividend Rate for the first year yielded 537,880 Dividend Shares issued ($10,000,000 x 8.25%/$1.5338)), (e) solely for purposes of this example, compounding is ignored in calculating Dividends (if compounding were not ignored, the number of Dividend Shares in clause (d) would have been 554,750), (f) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration is $3 per share, and (g) the Holder elects to redeem all of its Preferred Shares (i.e., 10,000 Preferred Shares) in such Non-Cash Change of Control pursuant to the Alternate Change of Control Redemption, then the Change of Control Redemption Price shall be equal to:

(i) $11,000,000 (the Conversion Amount of $10,000,000 times 110%),

plus

(ii) in exchange for the surrender to the Company of the Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares, which are 179,293 of the Dividend Shares of the Holder (the quotient of (x) the 537,880 Total Dividend Shares previously issued to the Holder and (y) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration), $537,880 (the Change of Control Dividend Share Payment which is the product of (x) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) the 179,293 Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares),
 
52


plus

(iii) the same form of consideration per share of Common Stock as that being paid upon consummation of the Change of Control as to 3,211,675 shares of Common Stock (determined as the quotient of:

(x) the Change of Control Cash Balance Amount ($9,635,025 (determined as (A) $21,172,905 (the product of (x) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) 7,057,635 (the sum of (I) the 537,880 Total Dividend Shares and (II) the 6,519,755 shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the $10,000,000 Conversion Amount at the Conversion Price of $1.5338)) minus (B) the $11,537,880 Alternate Change of Control Cash Payment (the sum of (i) $11,000,000 and $537,880))

and

(y) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration).

9.1 No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Rule 13e-3 Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Rule 13e-3 Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (a "13e-3 Notice"). At any time during the period (the "13e-3 Period") beginning after a Holder's receipt of a 13e-3 Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction, such Holder may require the Company to redeem prior to the payment of any Junior Shares all or any portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof ("13e-3 Redemption Notice") to the Company, which 13e-3 Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Price over the twenty Trading Day period immediately prior to consummation of such Rule 13e-3 Transaction by (II) the Conversion Price (the "13e-3 Redemption Price"). The Company shall made payment of the 13e-3 Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction if such a 13e-3 Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise (the "13e-3 Redemption Date"). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(b), until the 13e-3 Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 8(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the 13e-3 Transaction, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c)(i). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Preferred Shares under this Section 8(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 8(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the 13e-3 Redemption Price on the 13e-3 Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 3(e) with the term "13e-3 Redemption Price" being substituted for "Redemption Price" and "13e-3 Redemption Notice" being substituted for "Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder".
 
53

 
ARTICLE X.COMPANY'S RIGHT OF MANDATORY CONVERSION
 
10.1 Mandatory Conversion. If at any time beginning with the fiscal quarter of the Company ending on June 30, 2007, (the "Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date"), (i) the Company has (A) been Profitable for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters (not taking into account any non-cash charges related to the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares) (each such quarter, a "Positive Quarter") and (B) filed 25 ANDAs including 12 from a list agreed upon by the Required Holders and the Company, and (ii) the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Holder on each day during the period commencing on the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date and ending on the Mandatory Conversion Date (each, as defined below), the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to convert up to all of the Conversion Amount into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) (a "Mandatory Conversion"). The Company may exercise its right to require conversion under this Section 9(a) on one occasion by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following the end of the public announcement of such second consecutive Positive Quarter a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the Holders of Preferred Shares and the Transfer Agent (the "Mandatory Conversion Notice" and the date all of the Holders received such notice by facsimile is referred to as the "Mandatory Conversion Notice Date"). The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state (i) the Trading Day selected for the Mandatory Conversion in accordance with Section 9(a), which Trading Day shall be at least twenty (20) Business Days but not more than sixty (60) Business Days following the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), (ii) the number of Preferred Shares of such Holder subject to the Mandatory Conversion, (iii) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares subject to Mandatory Conversion from all of the Holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 9 and (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not effect a Mandatory Conversion of any applicable Holder under this Section if the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares of any Holder subject to a Mandatory Conversion would cause such Holder's beneficial ownership of the Common Stock to exceed the Maximum Percentage as set forth in Section 5.
 
54


10.2 Pro Rata Conversion Requirements.
 
(a) If the Company elects to cause a conversion of any Conversion Amount of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 9(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all Preferred Shares.
 
(b) All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the Conversion Amount required to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date. If the Company has elected a Mandatory Conversion, the mechanics of conversion set forth in Section 2(d) shall apply, to the extent applicable, as if the Company and the Transfer Agent had received from the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date a Conversion Notice with respect to the Conversion Amount being converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion.
 
ARTICLE XI.Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the "Liquidation Funds"), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of the capital shares of the Company of any class junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company ("Junior Shares"), an amount per Preferred Share equal to the Conversion Amount; provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred shares of the Company that are of equal rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation Funds (the "Pari Passu Shares"), then each Holder and Pari Passu Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred shares of the Company junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section applies. The purchase or redemption by the Company of shares of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a Liquidation Event.
 
55

 
ARTICLE XII.Preferred Rank. All Common Stock shall be of junior rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The rights of the Common Stock shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred Shares. Without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital shares that is of senior or pari-passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Company shall be permitted to issue preferred shares that are junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, provided that the maturity date (or any other date requiring redemption or repayment of such preferred shares) of any such junior preferred shares are not on or before the date no Preferred Shares are outstanding. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences provided for herein and no merger shall result inconsistent therewith.
 
ARTICLE XIII.Limitation on Number of Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants if the issuance of such Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (a) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market (or any successor rule or regulation) for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount, or (b) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of Preferred Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchasers") shall be issued, in the aggregate, upon conversion of Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants, Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Preferred Shares issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all the Preferred Shares issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date (the "Exchange Cap Allocation"). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation. In the event that any Holder shall convert all of such Holder's Preferred Shares into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining Holders on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Preferred Shares then held by each such Holder.
 
56

 
ARTICLE XIV.Protective Provisions. So long as the Investor holds at least 25% of the Preferred Shares issued on the Initial Issuance Date, in addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not:
 
14.1 amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of preferred shares, if such action would materially adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise;
 
14.2 increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Preferred Shares;
 
14.3 issue any shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other equity securities to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants (that are affiliates of the Company) to, the Company in excess of 2% of the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial Issuance Date;
 
14.4 issue any shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other equity securities to independent third parties (e.g., investment banks, investor relations firms, consultants that are not affiliates of the Company) in excess of 2% of the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial Issuance Date;
 
14.5 pay dividends or make any other distribution on the capital stock of the Company other than (i) dividends on the Preferred Stock or (ii) solely at such time as the Company is not in breach under any Transaction Document or under the Credit Agreement, the stated dividends on the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock;
 
14.6 except as permitted herein, purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of capital stock of the Company, excluding shares of Common Stock repurchased from an employee, consultant, officer or director pursuant to a restricted stock purchase agreement or an equity incentive agreement with employees giving the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services;
 
14.7 effect any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company;
 
14.8 issue any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Purchase Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (as adjusted from time to time to reflect stock slits, stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations and other similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock); provided, however, that if the Company has issued less than 15,000 Preferred Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, then the Company, provided it has complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 4(o) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, may 90 or more days after the Subscription Date, issue shares of Common Stock in an amount not in excess of the difference between the aggregate Purchase Price for all Preferred Shares issued in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement and $15,000,000.00;
 
57

 
14.9 enter into or amend any agreement with any stockholder, officer, director, any affiliate thereof or any other affiliate of the Company, other than on an arms' length basis;
 
14.10 issue any Indebtedness that creates an obligation for the Company to repay in the aggregate more than $50 million in principal and interest;
 
14.11 effect any acquisition of an equity interest or rights to acquire equity in any Person or assets of any Person, other than (i) a Person in which the Company owns a minority interest as of the Subscription Date and (ii) acquisitions in which the sole consideration consists of equity securities of the Company; provided, that, the value of any equity issued in accordance with clause (i) and (ii) shall not exceed $5 million in the aggregate;
 
14.12 whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Preferred Shares, circumvent a right of the Preferred Shares; or
 
14.13 agree to any of the foregoing.
 
ARTICLE XV.Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Share Certificates representing the Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Share Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new Preferred Share Certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Preferred Share Certificates if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Preferred Shares into Common Stock.
 
ARTICLE XVI.Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
 
58

 
ARTICLE XVII.Construction. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
 
ARTICLE XVIII.Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
 
ARTICLE XIX.Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (provided that if the Preferred Shares are not held by a Buyer (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) then substituting the words "holder of Securities" for the word "Buyer").
 
ARTICLE XX.Transfer of Preferred Shares. A Holder may assign some or all of the Preferred Shares and the accompanying rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Company; provided that such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities laws.
 
ARTICLE XXI.Preferred Share Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Persons in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Preferred Share is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.
 
ARTICLE XXII.Stockholder Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Certificate of Designation or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the issuance of any Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof may be effected by written consent of the Company's stockholders or at a duly called meeting of the Company's stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
 
59

 
ARTICLE XXIII.Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holders contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holders shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
 
ARTICLE XXIV.Redemption in Lieu of Sale. The Company may redeem the Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 4(r) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

WARRANT
 
Warrant No. [ ]
Dated: [_________], 2008

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, [______________] or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [     ]1  shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $0.95 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including the date that is five years from the date of issuance hereof (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “Warrant”) is one of a series of similar Warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November ___, 2007, by and among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). All such Warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Warrants.”
 
ARTICLE XXV.Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
ARTICLE XXVI.Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 

2 Holder’s pro rata share of 1,842,103.
 
64

 
ARTICLE XXVII.Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto on Annex B duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
 
ARTICLE XXVIII.Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
 
28.1 This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value; provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless exercise” basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below.
 
28.2 A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto on Annex A (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” 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 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.
 
ARTICLE XXIX.Delivery of Warrant Shares.
 
29.1 Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and provided a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
 
65

 
29.2 This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
29.3 In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares by the fifth Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate is required by this Warrant, and if after such fifth 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 the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within five 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, 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 Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock 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 Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.
 
29.4 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, 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 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
ARTICLE XXX.Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock 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 or an Affiliate thereof. 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.
 
66

 
ARTICLE XXXI.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, 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.
 
ARTICLE XXXII.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. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
 
ARTICLE XXXIII.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.
 
33.1 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 (other than regular dividends on the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D-1 Convertible Preferred 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.
 
67

 
33.2 Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all of its holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the a nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm selected by the Company (an “Appraiser”). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm), in which case such fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to Section 9(e) below, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such record date, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon expiration of or any exercise of the Warrant that occurs after such record date, such Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), such Distributed Property.
 
33.3 Fundamental Transactions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, 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”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate 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. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:
 
(A) this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration in accordance with this Section 9(c),
 
68

 
(B) in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, and
 
(C) if registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.
 
If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant 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 Section 9(c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act with respect to the Company in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a non-public company, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
 
33.4 Antidilution Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If at any time this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 9(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, with the exception of Excluded Stock, for a consideration per share (the “New Securities Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (each such sale or issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then concurrent with such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the New Securities Issuance Price.
 
For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 10(d), the following shall be applicable:
 
(a) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (other than Excluded Stock) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 9(d)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
 
69

 
(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (other than Excluded Stock) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 9(d)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9(d), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
(c) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time (other than Excluded Stock), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 9(d)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Initial Closing Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. On the expiration of any Option or Convertible Security not exercised, the applicable Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be increased to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration had such Stock Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities never been issued. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would increase the applicable Exercise Price by an amount in excess of the adjustment originally made to the Exercise Price in respect of the issue, sale or grant of the applicable Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall an adjustment to the Exercise Price be made retroactively with respect to any portion of the Warrant which has been exercised prior to the actual date of the dilutive issuance or change. In addition, to clarify for purposes of this Section 9(d), if an Option or Convertible Security has a price reset or similar provision that would cause the price to adjust based on a future event or contingency, then the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall not become such adjusted price unless and until the happening of such event or contingency that actually gives effect to the adjustment.
 
70

 
(d) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, then solely for purposes of this Section 9(d), the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the exercise price of such Option. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the closing price of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and Required Holders in good faith. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the Required Holders.
 
33.5 Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) of this Section, 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 increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
 
33.6 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.
 
71

 
33.7 Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly, but in any event no later than 10 Trading Days after such occurrence 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.
 
33.8 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, at least 20 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 insure that the Holder is given 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.
 
ARTICLE XXXIV.Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement did not become effective on or before the Required Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and is not continuously effective through the Expiration Date, the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
 
 
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
 
A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the Exercise Price.

72

 
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
ARTICLE XXXV.Intentionally Blank.
 
ARTICLE XXXVI.Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
 
ARTICLE XXXVII.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 address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Company’s Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section 13.
 
ARTICLE XXXVIII.Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 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 stockholders 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.
 
73

 
ARTICLE XXXIX.Miscellaneous.
 
39.1 This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrowers shall not be permitted to assign this Note.
 
39.2 The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which unreasonably interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
 
39.3 GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), 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 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 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. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
 
39.4 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.
 
74

 
39.5 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.
