    3.     Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant in the Warrant Register, in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Holder agrees that it may not transfer this Warrant as to more than the number of Warrant Shares remaining to be exercised as shown on the most updated Warrant Exercise Log, and any purported transfer in excess of such number of Warrant Shares shall have no effect.

Upon any such registration or transfer, 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.

The Company may not call or redeem any portion of this Warrant without the consent of the Holder.

    6.     Delivery of Warrant Shares.

        (a)     To acquire Warrant Shares under this Warrant, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate number of Warrant Shares then represented by this Warrant is being exercised. Upon delivery of a written notice, in the form of the Exercise Notice to the Company (together with the Warrant Exercise Log attached thereto) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the Date of Exercise) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate representing the number of Warrant Shares to which such exercise pertains, which, unless otherwise required by the Purchase Agreement, shall be free of restrictive legends.

4


        (b)     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, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or 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 Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

    7.     Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares 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 in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

    8.     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 (which shall not include a surety bond), 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. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

5


    9.     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 10); provided, however, that the Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not be authorized or reserved until such time as the waiting period applicable to the definitive Information Statement has expired and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the number of authorized but unissued Warrant Shares shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Warrant Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. 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 non-assessable.

    10.     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 10.

        (a)     Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date of this Warrant effect a subdivision of the outstanding Warrant Shares, the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date of this Warrant combine the outstanding shares of Warrant Shares, the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this clause shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

        (b)     Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3) 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 (4) 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 (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity and Holder to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.

6


        (c)     Certain Events. If any change in the outstanding Warrant Shares or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 10 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an adjustment in the number and class of shares available under this Warrant, the Exercise Price or the application of such provisions, so as to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as to give the Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

        (d)     Adjustments to Exercise Price for Certain Dilutive Issuances.

          (i)     Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

          (A)     If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Warrant 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 the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision 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 Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

          (B)     If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of clause (ii) below, are revised (either automatically pursuant to the provisions contained therein or as a result of an amendment to such terms) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Exercise Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment pursuant to this clause (B) shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Exercise Price on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Exercise Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

7


          (C)     If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of clause (ii) below (either because the consideration per share of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the date of this Warrant), are revised after the date of this Warrant (either automatically pursuant to the provisions contained therein or as a result of an amendment to such terms) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

          (D)     Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of clause (ii) below, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never been issued.

          (ii)     Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this Warrant issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to clause (i) above), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the price per share of any such Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to clause (i) above).

        (e)     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 of the Company, (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 (but only to the extent such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public information to the Holder), then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a copy of the press release or similar public notice utilized by the Company describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction (or if no such public notice is given or does not contain all such material terms and conditions, a separate notice containing such material terms and conditions), at least twenty (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 any 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of the notice described in this Section 10(e) is not intended to and shall not bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever.

8


        (f)     Dividends. Upon any exercise of this Warrant at a time when there are dividends or distributions unpaid as to Warrant Shares and as to which the dividend date or other date fixed for payment has passed, then, (i) to the fullest extent permitted by law, such unpaid dividends or distributions shall be paid by the Company contemporaneously with the exercise of this Warrant as to the Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise, and (i) to the extent payment of such unpaid dividends or distributions is not legally permitted, then the Exercise Price shall be further adjusted by increasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to take into account the value of such unpaid dividends or other distributions in determining the amount of Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant.

        (g)     Calculations. All calculations under this Section 10 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.

        (h)     Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 10, 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 adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

        (i)     Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 10, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of Warrant Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.

    11.     Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

        (a)     Cash Exercise. Payment may be made in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company.

9


        (b)     Cashless Exercise. In lieu of payment of the Exercise Price as provided in clause (a), the Holder may elect a cashless net exercise. In the case of such cashless net exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant for cancellation and receive in exchange therefor the full number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:

X = Y * (A – B)
     A

where:

  X = the number of shares of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder upon cashless exercise of this Warrant

  Y = the total number of shares Warrant Shares covered by this Warrant which the Holder has surrendered at such time for cashless exercise (including both shares to be issued to the Holder upon cashless exercise of this Warrant and shares to be cancelled as payment therefor)

  A = the Current Market Value as of the business day on which the Holder surrenders this Warrant to the Company

  B  = the Exercise Price then in effect under this Warrant at the time at which the Holder surrenders this Warrant to the Company

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities 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.

    12.    No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant and in lieu thereof, any fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole.

    13.    Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 16 prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (b) the next business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 13 on a day that is not a business day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any business day, (c) the business day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
