(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of Company Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right (other than with respect to any equity or equity equivalent security issued pursuant to a rights plan adopted by the Company Board);
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company; or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

4. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.
4.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a present view toward the public sale or public distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of said Warrant or the Exercise Shares, except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act. The Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant except in accordance with Section 8 and the provisions of Article VI of the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement and will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Exercise Shares except in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 and Article VI of the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement and pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act.
4.2 Securities Are Not Registered.
(a) The Holder understands that the offer and sale of neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares has been registered under the Securities Act.
(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or, except as provided in the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Exercise Shares, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.
(c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act (Rule 144) unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the Company and the expiration of the required holding period under Rule 144.

Form of Direct Investment Warrant
6
(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until one of the following occurs:
(i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the SEC stating that no action will be recommended to the SEC with respect to the proposed disposition;
(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Exercise Shares and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or
(iii) The Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided, that so long as the Holder provides the Company with a representation letter in customary form with respect to a Rule 144 disposition, no opinion shall be required for any disposition made or to be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144.
5. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then Closing Market Price (as of the applicable exercise date) of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
6. CERTAIN EVENTS.
6.1 Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations and Reclassifications. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Company Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Company Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Company Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Company Common Stock, then the number of Exercise Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Exercise Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Exercise Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the
Form of Direct Investment Warrant
7
Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Exercise Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Exercise Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Exercise Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Exercise Shares or other securities of the Company resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
6.2 Corporate Transactions. In the event that the surviving or resulting parent entity (the Surviving Entity) in a merger or acquisition involving the Company is an entity other than the Company, then the Holder or any subsequent holder of this Warrant shall either exercise this Warrant (which will become immediately exercisable upon a Transaction Event) or surrender this Warrant in exchange for a new Warrant exercisable for shares of the common stock of the Surviving Entity (the "Replacement Warrant); provided, that:
(a) if the terms of such merger or acquisition shall provide for consideration that consists of a combination of cash and stock of the Surviving Entity, then any Replacement Warrant issued to the holders of this Warrant shall be solely for stock of the Surviving Entity, at an exchange ratio reflecting the total consideration paid by the Surviving Entity at the time of such change in control as if the total consideration (including cash) for each share of Company Common Stock was instead paid only in stock of the Surviving Entity at the time of such change of control (as illustrated on Exhibit A to this Warrant), and the holders of the Replacement Warrant shall have the registration rights for stock issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Warrant as provided under the Registration Rights Agreement; and
(b) if such a merger or acquisition shall occur and the consideration for such merger or acquisition shall be paid entirely in cash, then any holder of this Warrant shall have the option to elect, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receiving notice of the public announcement of the merger or acquisition by written notice of election to the Company, either to (A) receive from the Surviving Entity, upon the closing of such merger or acquisition, a Replacement Warrant solely for stock of the Surviving Entity, at an exchange ratio reflecting the cash paid by the Surviving Entity at the time of such change in control; or (B) surrender this Warrant to the Company in consideration of a cash payment for each share of Company Common Stock subject to purchase under this Warrant equal to the difference of (i) the per share cash consideration to be received by a holder of one share of Company Common Stock (including the Company Common Stock subject to purchase under this Warrant) to be tendered in the merger or acquisition and (ii) the Exercise Price (the aggregate of such amounts, the Warrant Surrender Price). The Warrant Surrender Price shall be paid upon the surrender of this Warrant promptly following the closing of the all cash merger or acquisition.
(c) Following a merger or acquisition involving the payment of non-cash consideration in which the Company is not the Surviving Entity, any reference
Form of Direct Investment Warrant
8
to Company Common Stock shall be deemed instead to refer to the common stock of the Surviving Entity. For purposes of this Section 6.2 common stock of the Surviving Entity shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation, and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the occurrence of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 shall similarly apply to successive mergers, acquisitions, consolidations or disposition of assets.
6.3 Deemed Issuances of Additional Common Shares: Options and Convertible Securities. In the event that at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then for purposes of the definition of Additional Common Shares the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be shares of Company Common Stock (with respect to this Warrant) issued as of the time of such issue or, in the case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that Additional Common Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued with respect to an adjustment of the Exercise Price unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6.5) of such Additional Common Shares would be less than the Exercise Price, and provided further that in any such case in which Additional Common Shares are deemed to be issued no further adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made upon the shares of Company Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
6.4 Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Additional Common Shares. In the event the Company shall issue Additional Common Shares (including Additional Common Shares deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 6.3) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue, plus (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Common Shares so issued would purchase at that Exercise Price, and (y) the denominator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (2) the number of such Additional Common Shares so issued including shares of Company Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to Section 6.3.

6.5 Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 6, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Common Shares shall be computed as follows:
Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed as the net amount of cash received by the Company after deduction of any amounts paid or payable for accrued interest, accrued dividends, underwriting or similar commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale but without deduction of any expenses payable by the Company;
(ii) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Company Board and the holder of this Warrant;
(iii) in the event Additional Common Shares are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, by the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Company Board and the holder of this Warrant; and
(iv) in the event the Company Board and the holder of this Warrant do not agree on the value of the consideration pursuant to this Section 6.5(a), then they shall appoint a mutually agreed upon third party appraiser to determine the value of such consideration, and such third party appraisers determination of the value of the consideration shall be final.
(d) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Common Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 6.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:
(i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by
(ii) the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

EXHIBIT A
WARRANT CONVERSION EXAMPLE
In the event that the Company is the target of a merger or acquisition in which the share purchase price paid by the acquiror is paid in cash or a mixture of cash and stock, the outstanding Warrants are to be exchanged for Replacement Warrants of the Surviving Entity such that the holders of Warrants shall receive additional Replacement Warrants in lieu of the cash portion of the share purchase price, as set out in the following example:
A holder hereunder holds Warrants exercisable for 100,000 shares of Company Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, and the share purchase price paid by the acquiror is $15.00 per share of Company Common Stock, with $5.00 to be paid in cash and $10.00 to be paid in shares of the common stock of the Surviving Entity (New Stock), based on a price of $100.00 per share of New Stock.
The Warrants of the holder, exercisable for 100,000 shares of Company Common Stock, shall be converted as follows:
(1) | The New Stock portion of the purchase price ($10.00 / share, or a ratio of New Stock to Company Common Stock of 10 to 1) shall yield Replacement Warrants exercisable for 10,000 shares of New Stock; and | ||
(2) | The cash portion of the purchase price ($5.00 / share, or $500,000 total) shall, at the New Stock price of $100 /share, yield Replacement Warrants exercisable for 5,000 shares of New Stock ($500,000 / $100 = 5,000). |
Therefore, in such a scenario, a holder of Warrants exercisable for 100,000 shares of Company Common Stock would receive Replacement Warrants exercisable for 15,000 shares of New Stock at an exercise price of $66.67 per share ($10.00 / $15.00 = 0.67 x $100.00 = $66.67).
