Mechanics of Exercise.
i.
Authorization of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant by the Holder. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
ii.
Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder (A) by crediting the account of the Holders prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system, provided that (I) the Company is a participant in such system and (II) the DWAC system provides an adequate method of protecting against the transfer of the Warrant Shares in violation of the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, and (B) otherwise by depositing the certificate(s) representing the Warrant Shares with a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise on the next Trading Day, in either event within three Trading Days of the Exercise Date ( 47;Warrant Share Delivery Date).
iii.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Partial Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased number of Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iv.
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise, provided that it return any certificate representing any Warrant Shares received by it.
v.
Fractional Shares. No scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In the event that, upon full or partial exercise of the Warrant, the Holder is entitled to receive a fractional Warrant Share, the Company shall have the option to either: (A) issue such fractional Warrant Share; (B) pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price; or (C) round up such fractional Warrant Share to the nearest whole share.
vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form, attached hereto as Exhibit B, duly executed by the Holder; and provided, further, that the
3
Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
vii.

viii.
Government Filings. The Company shall assist and cooperate with the Holder, at the Holders expense, with respect to any governmental filings required to be made or any governmental approvals required to be obtained by the Holder prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).
Call Provision. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2(e), if after the date of issuance of this Warrant the Closing Price for each of five consecutive Trading Days (the Measurement Period) exceeds $6.00 (subject to adjustment as set forth herein) (the Threshold Price), then the Company may, within five Trading Days of the end of such Measurement Period, call for redemption all or any portion of this Warrant for $0.25 per share (the Call Price) for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a Call). To exercise this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a Call Notice), indicating therein the portion of unexercised portion of this Warrant to which such notice applies. If the conditions set forth below for s uch Call are satisfied from the period from the date of the Call Notice through and including the Call Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant subject to such Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received by the Call Date will be cancelled at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 10th Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is sent to the Holder (such date, the Call Date). Any unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain will be unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect to Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered through 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date. Subject again to the provisions of this Section 2(e), the Company may at any time and from time to time exercise its Call right and deliver subsequent Call Notices for any portion of this Warr ant for which the Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of Exercise. The Companys right to Call the Warrant shall be exercised ratably among all of the holders of Warrants based on the number of Warrants then held by each such holder.
Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Warrant to the contrary, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise, the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), does not exceed 9.999% (the Limiting Percentage) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the Warrant Shares). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules or reports required to be filed in accordance therewith. The Companys obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section 2(f) shall be suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such limitation. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(f) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shal l be deemed to be the Holders determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall
4
have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. By written notice to the Company at any time on or after the date hereof, the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section 2(f) or increase or decrease such limitation percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but not exceeding the Limiting Percentage. Any such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 65th day after such notice is delivered to the Company, unless such notice is issued by the Holder prior to or concurrently with the issuance of this Warrant, and will not be effective with respect to any subsequent transferee of the Warrant.
Section 3.
Certain Adjustments.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company pursuant to this Warrant or any other shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any other option, warrant or other right to acquire Common Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares (including by way of a stock split), or (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination, as applicable.
(b)
Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3(a), the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof shall be adjusted, rounded up to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying such number of shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately thereafter.
(c)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not includes shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company as treasury shares.
(d)
Failure to Effect Event Requiring Adjustment. If any event requiring an adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder is not paid or made, then the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares that would then be in effect if such adjustment had not been made for such.
(e)
Notice to Holders. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(f)
Organic Change. Any recapitalization, reorganization, re-classification, consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets to another Person or other transaction that is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an Organic Change. Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company will make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have
5
the right to acquire and receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of or addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of the Holders Warrant, such stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Holders Warrant had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision with respect to the Holders rights and interests to ensure that the provisions of this Section 3(f) hereof will thereafter be applicable to the Warrant. The Company will not effect any such Organic Change, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the corporati on purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire. The Company will give written notice to the Holder at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation. The Company will also give written notice to the Holder at least 20 days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place.
(g)
Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Section 4.

(a)
Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Sections 4(d) and 5(a) hereof and to the provisions of Section 5 of the Subscription Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE, IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
Certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain the legend set forth above under the following circumstances: (i) following any sale of such Warrant pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144; or (ii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), provided that, in each case, the Holder provides a copy of such certificates or confirmations as the Company reasonably requests.

The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

(i)
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 (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern 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 set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be gi ven; provided, however, that any exercise of the Warrant shall be effective in the manner provided in Section 2(a).
