(a)           Stock Dividends, Distributions or Subdivisions.  In the event the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock in a stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision, the Applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately before such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision, be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable by exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased.
 
(b)           Combinations or Consolidations.  In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable by exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.
 
(c)           Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution.  In the event that the class of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than any event addressed by Sections 4.1(a), 4.1(b) or 4.1(d)), then and in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of the class of securities into which such Warrant might have been exercisable for immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
(d)           Adjustment for Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.  In the event that the Company shall merge or consolidate with or into another entity or sell all or substantially all of its assets, this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 5 with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 5 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

4.3           Closing of Books.  The Company shall at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely and proper issuance of such shares.
 
5.           Covenants of the Company.  During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the rights evidenced hereby, a sufficient number of shares of the class of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to provide for the exercise of such rights.  All securities which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.  Upon surrender for exercise, this Warrant shall be canceled and shall not be reissued; provided, however, that upon the partial exercise hereof a substitute Warrant of like tenor and date representing the rights to subscribe for and purchase any such unexercised portion hereof shall be issued.
 
6.           No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise.  This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company but upon presentation of this Warrant at the office of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, the Holder shall forthwith be deemed a stockholder of the Company in respect of the securities for which the Holder has so subscribed and paid.
 
7.           No Change Necessary.  The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Applicable Exercise Price or in the number of shares issuable upon its exercise.  A Warrant issued after any adjustment or any partial exercise or upon replacement may continue to express the same Applicable Exercise Price and the same number of shares (appropriately reduced in the case of partial exercise) as are stated on this Warrant as initially issued, and that Applicable Exercise Price and that number of shares shall be considered to have been so changed as of the close of business on the date of adjustment.
 
8.           Addresses for Notices.  All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, either delivered in hand or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by facsimile, and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered:

If to the Company, to the address set forth on the first page of this Warrant.
 
9.           Substitution.  In the case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like tenor and denomination and deliver the same (a) in exchange and substitution for and upon surrender and cancellation of any mutilated Warrant, or (b) in lieu of any Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Warrant (including, without limitation, a reasonably detailed affidavit with respect to the circumstances of any loss, theft or destruction), and of indemnity (or, in the case of the initial Holder or any other institutional holder, an indemnity agreement) satisfactory to the Company.

10.           Transfer Restrictions.  This Warrant shall not be transferable by the Holder and shall be exercisable only by the Holder.  Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Warrant shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Warrant or of any rights granted hereunder contrary to the provisions of this Section 10, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the Warrant or such rights, shall be null and void.
