Article III
TERMS AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Section 3.1 Exercise Price. Commencing on a date that is six (6) months following the Date of Issuance, the Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the right to purchase from the Company up to 3,150,000 shares of Common Stock at the price of $1.35 per share, subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Article IV (the “Exercise Price”).
Section 3.2 Exercise Period. The Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and from time to time commencing six months following the Date of Issuance and prior to 5:00 P.M., New York time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Exercise Period”); provided that Registered Holder shall be able to exercise its Warrant only if the exercise of such Warrant is exempt from, or in compliance with, any applicable registration requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of the states in which the Registered Holder of the Warrant or other persons to whom it is proposed that the Warrant Exercise Shares be issued, on exercise of the Warrant reside. To the extent that the Warrant or portion thereof is not exercised prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period, it shall be automatically cancelled with no action by any Person, and with no further rights thereunder, upon such expiration.
Section 3.3 Method of Exercise.
(a) In connection with the exercise of the Warrant, (i) the Registered Holder shall surrender such Warrant (or portion thereof) to the Company for the number of Warrant Exercise Shares being exercised, up to the aggregate number of Warrant Exercise Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable and (ii) the Exercise Price shall be paid, at the option of the Holder, in United States dollars by personal, certified or official bank check payable to the Company, or by wire transfer to an account specified in writing by the Company to such Holder, in either case in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for such Warrant Exercise Shares as specified in the Exercise Form.
(b) Upon exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall as promptly as practicable calculate and transmit the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any exercise.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Holder of the Warrant may exercise, in whole or in part, such Holder’s right to purchase the Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by properly completing and duly executing the exercise form for the election to exercise the Warrant (an “Exercise Form”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B.
(d) Any exercise of the Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be irrevocable as of the date of delivery of the Exercise Form and shall constitute a binding agreement between the Holder and the Company, enforceable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Upon receipt of the Warrant certificate with the properly completed and duly executed Exercise Form pursuant to Section 3.3(c), the Company shall promptly:
7
(i) examine the Exercise Form and all other documents delivered to it by or on behalf of the Holder as contemplated hereunder to ascertain whether or not, on their face, such Exercise Form and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms and the terms hereof;
(ii) if an Exercise Form or other document appears, on its face, to have been improperly completed or executed or some other irregularity in connection with the exercise of the Warrant exists, endeavor to inform the appropriate parties (including the person submitting such instrument) of the need for fulfillment of all requirements, specifying those requirements which appear to be unfulfilled;
(iii) resolve any reconciliation problems between the information provided on any Exercise Form received and the information on the Warrant Register; and
(iv) liaise with the transfer agent for the Common Stock for the issuance and registration of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the Exercise Form.
The Company reserves the right reasonably to reject any Exercise Form that it determines is not in proper form or for which any corresponding agreement by the Company to exchange would, in the opinion of the Company, be unlawful. Moreover, the Company reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to any particular exercise of the Warrant or any defects in the Exercise Form(s) with regard to any particular exercise of the Warrant.
Section 3.4 Issuance of Common Stock.
(a) Upon the effectiveness of any exercise of the Warrant pursuant to Section 3.3, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.6, promptly at its expense, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Exercise Date, cause to be issued as directed by the Holder the total number of whole shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is being exercised (as the same may be hereafter adjusted pursuant to Article IV) in such denominations as are requested by the Holder as set forth below, registered as directed by the Holder in accordance with the practices and procedures of the Company .
(b) The Warrant Exercise Shares shall be deemed to have been issued at the time at which all of the conditions to such exercise have been fulfilled, and the Holder, or other person to whom the Holder shall direct the issuance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of such Warrant Exercise Shares at such time.
Section 3.5 Reservation of Shares.
(a) The Company covenants that during the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrant, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violating the Company’s governing documents, any agreements to which the Company is a party on the date hereof, any requirements of any national securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed or any applicable Laws. The Company shall not take any action which would
8
cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant.
(b) The Company covenants that it will take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that all Warrant Exercise Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be fully paid and non-assessable and free from any and all (i) security interests created by or imposed upon the Company and (ii) taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period the number and kind of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s capital stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise in full of the Warrant, the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be reasonably necessary (including seeking stockholder approval, if required) to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company agrees that its issuance of the Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the issuance of Warrant Exercise Shares to issue Warrant Exercise Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the stated or par value per share, if any, of the Common Stock above the Exercise Price per share in effect immediately prior to such increase in stated or par value.
(c) The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that the issuance of the Warrant and the issuance of Warrant Exercise Shares upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms hereof will not constitute a breach of, or a default under, any other material agreements to which the Company is a party on the date hereof.
Section 3.6 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of its Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, and in any case where the Holder of the Warrant would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.6, be entitled under the terms thereof to receive a fraction of a share upon the exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall, upon the exercise of such Warrant, issue or cause to be issued only the largest whole number of Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon such exercise (and such fraction of a share will be disregarded, and the Holder shall not have any rights or be entitled to any payment with respect to such fraction of a share); provided that the number of whole Warrant Exercise Shares which shall be issuable upon the contemporaneous exercise of multiple warrants by the Holder shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of all such warrants by such Holder.
Section 3.7 Close of Books. The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of the Warrant or any Warrant Exercise Shares in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of the Warrant.
Section 3.8 Payment of Taxes. In connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in respect of any transfer involved in the Company’s issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock (including certificates therefor) (or any payment of cash or other property in lieu of such shares) to any recipient other than the Holder of the Warrant, and in case of any such tax or other charge, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares (or cash or other property in lieu of such shares) until (x) such tax or charge has been paid or an amount sufficient for the payment thereof has been delivered to the Company or (y) it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that any such tax or other charge that is or may become due has been paid.

Article IV
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF
WARRANT EXERCISE SHARES
In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under the Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Article IV, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Article IV; provided, however, if more than one subsection of this Article IV is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Article IV so as to result in duplication; and provided further, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted below a price that is less than the consolidated closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market on the business day immediately prior to the Date of Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any adjustment to this Warrant is required pursuant to the provision of this Article IV prior to six months following the Date of Issuance, then and in such event any such adjustment shall be deferred and not be effective until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock cease to be issued and outstanding or (ii) six months following the Date of Issuance.
Section 4.1 Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. In the event that the amount of outstanding Common Stock is increased or decreased by combination (by reverse stock split or reclassification) or subdivision (by any stock split or reclassification) of the Common Stock or any distribution by the Company with respect to the Common Stock in the form of additional Common Stock (“Additional Common Stock”), then, on the effective date of such combination, subdivision or distribution, the number of Warrant Exercise Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, in proportion to such increase or decrease, as applicable, in the outstanding Common Stock. Whenever the number of Warrant Exercise Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant is adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.1, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent ($0.01) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Exercise Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Exercise Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
Section 4.2 Distributions. If the Company at any time after the issuance of the Warrant but prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period fixes a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of the Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding (i) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 4.1 and (ii) any cash dividends made in amounts and at intervals which are within the customary practice for companies that pay recurring cash dividends), then, in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be adjusted thereafter to the price determined by the following formula:
EP1 = EP0 x (CP0 - FV)/CP0
where
EP1 | = | the Exercise Price in effect immediately following the application of the adjustments in this Section 4.2; |
|
|
|
EP0 | = | the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the application of the adjustments in this Section 4.2; |
|
|
|
10
CP0
FV
| =
=
| the Current Sale Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way without the right to receive such distribution; and
the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors. |
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed (an “Adjustment Event”). In such Adjustment Event, the number of Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price immediately following such adjustment.
In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Warrant Exercise Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of the Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
Section 4.3 Pro Rata Repurchase Offer of Common Stock. If at any time after the issuance of the Warrant but prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period the Company consummates a Pro Rata Repurchase Offer of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by the following formula:
EP1 = EP0 x (OS0 x CP0) – AP
(OS0 – SP) x CP0
where
EP1 | = | the Exercise Price in effect immediately following the application of the adjustments in this Section 4.3 (but in no event greater than EP0); |
|
|
|
EP0 | = | the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the application of the adjustments in this Section 4.3; |
|
|
|
OS0 | = | the number of Fully Diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before consummation of such Pro Rata Repurchase Offer; |
|
|
|
CP0 | = | the Current Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase Offer; |
|
|
|
11
AP | = | the aggregate purchase price (including the fair market value, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, of any non-cash consideration included therein) paid for the shares of Common Stock in the Pro Rata Repurchase Offer; and |
|
|
|
SP | = | the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased in the Pro Rata Repurchase Offer. |
In such event, the Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price immediately following such adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3.
Section 4.4 Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In connection with any Organic Change prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Holder’s right to receive Warrant Exercise Shares upon exercise of the Warrant shall be converted into the right to acquire and receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, such cash, stock, securities or other assets or property as would have been issued or payable to holders of Common Stock in such Organic Change (if the Holder had exercised such Warrant immediately prior to such Organic Change) with respect to or in exchange, as applicable, for the number of Warrant Exercise Shares that would have been issued upon exercise of the Warrant, if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the occurrence of such Organic Change. The Company shall not effect any Organic Change unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the surviving Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such Organic Change, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Agreement in all material respects (including with respect to the provisions of Article IV), the obligation to deliver to the Holder such cash, stock, securities or other assets or property which, in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.
Section 4.5 Certain Issuances of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion features in the Series D Stock Purchase Agreement or the Lighthouse Notes, in either case for consideration per share less than $2.50 per share, with consideration per share being equal to the aggregate payment obligations being relieved under the Lighthouse Notes that are being converted, or the aggregate amount of the Series D principal and dividends being relieved under the Series D Purchase Agreement, in either case divided by the number of shares of Common Stock being issued in such conversion, then immediately upon such issuance, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to an Exercise Price determined by the following formula:
EP1 = EP0 x (OS0 x EP0) + AP
(OS0 + NS) x EP0
where
EP1 | = | the Exercise Price in effect immediately following the adjustments in this Section 4.5 (but in no event greater than EP0); |
|

In such event, the Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price immediately following such adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.5.
Section 4.6 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number and/or kind of Warrant Exercise Shares or the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared a written statement setting forth the adjusted number and/or kind of shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrant and the Exercise Price of such shares after such adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which adjustment was made, and (ii) provide such written statement to each Holder in the manner provided in Section 7.2 below, together with notice of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
Section 4.7 Deferral or Exclusion of Certain Adjustments; Par Value. No adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Exercise Shares shall be required hereunder unless such adjustment together with other adjustments carried forward as provided below, would result in an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the applicable Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Exercise Shares; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.6 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Subject to Section 3.5(b), no adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the shares of Common Stock. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest one one-thousandth (1/1,000) of one cent ($0.01) or to the nearest one one-thousandth (1/1,000) of a share, as the case may be. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.
Section 4.8 Form of Warrant After Adjustments. The form of Warrant certificate need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number and/or kind of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, and the Warrant certificate theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated therein, as initially issued; provided that such adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number and/or kind of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless have effect upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant certificate or this Agreement, and any Warrant certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant certificate, may be in the form so changed.

Article V
TRANSFER
OF WARRANTS
Section 5.1 Registration of Transfers.
(a) Transfer of Warrant. When the Warrant certificate is presented to the Company with a written request to register the Transfer of such Warrant, the Company shall register the Transfer, and shall issue such new Warrant certificates, as requested if its customary requirements for such transactions are met, provided, that (A) the Company shall have received (x) a written instruction of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Registered Holder thereof or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing along with evidence of authority that may be required by the Company, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and (y) surrender of the Warrant certificate representing same duly endorsed for Transfer, and (B) if reasonably requested by the Company, the Company shall have received a written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act.
(b) Restrictions on Transfer. No Warrant or Warrant Exercise Shares shall be sold, exchanged or otherwise Transferred in violation of the Securities Act or state securities Laws or the Company’s articles of incorporation. If the Holder purports to Transfer the Warrant to any Person in a transaction that would violate the provisions of this Section 5.1(b), such Transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect.
Section 5.2 Obligations with Respect to Transfers of Warrant.
(a) All warrants issued upon any registration of Transfer of the Warrant shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant surrendered upon such registration of Transfer.
(b) Subject to Section 5.1(a), and this Section 5.2, the Company shall upon receipt of all information required to be delivered hereunder, from time to time register the Transfer of any outstanding Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon delivery by the Registered Holder thereof, of the Warrant certificate representing such Warrant, properly endorsed for transfer, by the Registered Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney; and upon any such registration of Transfer, a new Warrant certificate shall be issued to the transferee.
Section 5.3 Fractional Warrant. The Company shall not effect any registration of Transfer which will result in the issuance of a fraction of a warrant.
Section 5.4 Restricted Warrant; Legends. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the Holder of the Warrant may be deemed an “underwriter” under the Securities Act, the Company shall cause such Warrant certificate to be issued bearing a legend in substantially the following form:
THE WARRANT REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
14
“SECURITIES ACT”) AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE WARRANTS (AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE THEREOF) MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.
The Warrant Exercise Shares issued upon exercise of any such Warrant shall be issued in the form of registered stock certificates bearing a legend indicating that transfer may be restricted under United States federal and state securities laws or in the form of an electronic entry on the stock register maintained by the transfer agent for the Common Stock with a notation to a similar effect.
The Holder (or its transferee, as applicable) of the Warrant or Warrant Exercise Shares, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense, new securities of like tenor not bearing the restrictive legend set forth above when (a) the Warrant or Warrant Exercise Shares, as applicable, shall have been (i) effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with a registration statement covering such securities or (ii) disposed of pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 or any comparable rule under the Securities Act or (b) when, in the written reasonable opinion of independent counsel for the Holder (which counsel shall be experienced in Securities Act matters and which counsel and opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), such restrictions are no longer required in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act (including, without limitation, when the Warrant or Warrant Exercise Shares, as applicable, could be sold in a single transaction pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction as to volume or manner of sale).
Article VI
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS
Section 6.1 No Rights or Liability as Stockholder. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or his, her or its transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company. The vote or consent of the Holder shall not be required with respect to any action or proceeding of the Company and the Holder shall not have any right not expressly conferred hereunder or under, or by applicable Law with respect to, the Warrant held by such Holder. The Holder, by reason of the ownership or possession of the Warrant, shall have no right to receive any cash dividends, stock dividends, allotments or rights or other distributions paid, allotted or distributed or distributable to the holders of Common Stock prior to, or for which the relevant record date preceded, the Exercise Date of the Warrant. No provision thereof and no mere enumeration therein of the rights or privileges of the Holder shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price hereunder or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
Section 6.2 Notice to Registered Holder. The Company shall give notice to the Registered Holder pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the Warrant, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) the payment of any dividend payable in any securities upon shares of Common Stock or the making of any distribution (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend) to all holders of Common Stock;
15
(b) the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;
(c) a Pro Rata Repurchase Offer;
(d) an Organic Change;
(e) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or
(f) any the occurrence of any other event that would result in an adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant under Article IV.
Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least ten (10) days prior to the date fixed as the record date or the date of closing of the Company’s stock transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or of the stockholders entitled to vote on such Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or the proposed effective date of a Pro Rata Repurchase Offer or any other event that would result in an adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant under Article IV. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the stock transfer books or proposed effective date, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken. For the avoidance of doubt, no such notice (or the failure to provide it to any Holder) shall supersede or limit any adjustment called for by Article IV by reason of any event as to which notice is required by this Section.
Section 6.3 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates
. If any Warrant certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may issue and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant certificate of like tenor. The Company shall require evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant certificate, and an open penalty surety bond satisfactory to it and holding the Company harmless, absent notice to the Company that such certificates have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. Applicants for such substitute Warrant certificates shall also comply with such other regulations and pay such other charges as the Company may require.
Section 6.4 Cancellation of Warrant. If the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire the Warrant, such Warrant shall be cancelled and retired by appropriate notation on the Warrant Register.
