  ii. So long as this Warrant or any Warrant Stock is not freely transferable, the certificates evidencing this Warrant or such Warrant Stock shall be stamped or otherwise inscribed with an appropriate legend to such effect, provided that whenever the restrictions imposed by this Section 3 shall terminate, as herein above provided, the Holder of any Warrant then outstanding as to which such restrictions shall have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation, without expense to such Holder, one or more new certificates for such securities not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 3 hereof.

 

4) Exchange of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity bond or other security in an amount reasonably satisfactory as sufficient security, or in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

 

5) Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number of shares of Common issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows, provided, however, in no event shall the Warrant Price be reduced to less than $.01:

 

  (a) Reclassification Consolidation or Merger In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Common issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change — other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination — of outstanding Common issuable upon such exercise) or the acquisition of 66 2/3% of the then outstanding shares of Common (on a fully diluted basis) by any Person or group (as defined pursuant to Section 13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the rights of the Holders of this Warrant shall be adjusted in the manner described below:

 

  i. In the event that the Corporation is the surviving corporation, this Warrant shall, without payment of additional consideration therefor, be deemed modified so as to provide that upon exercise thereof the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise thereof, shall procure, in lieu of each share of

 

- 3 -

     Common theretofore issuable upon such exercise, the kind and amount of shares of Stock, other securities, money and Property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by the holder of each share of Common issuable upon such exercise had exercise of this Warrant, occurred immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger. This Warrant (as adjusted) shall be deemed to provide for further adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The provisions of this clause (i) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations and mergers.

 

  ii. In the event that the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation shall, without payment of any additional consideration therefore, issue a new Warrant, providing that upon exercise thereof, the Holder thereof shall procure in lieu of each share of Common theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares of Stock, other securities, money and Property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by the Holder of each share of Common issuable upon exercise of this Warrant had such exercise occurred immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The provisions of this clause (ii) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations and mergers.

 

  (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide, reverse split or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under the Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Warrant Price per share for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination or reverse split and the number of shares which the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be correspondingly appropriately adjusted.

 

  (c) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant in detail the facts upon which such adjustment of readjustment is based.

 

6) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Corporation shall make a certificate signed by its President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated

 

- 4 -

(including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first-class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder of this Warrant at its address shown on the books of the Corporation. The Corporation shall make such certificate and mail it to each Holder promptly after each adjustment.

 

7) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common shall be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Corporation shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Warrant Price then in effect, to the extent sufficient funds are legally available to make such cash payment on the date of such exercise of this Warrant.

 

8) Shares To be Fully Paid: Reservation of Shares. The Corporation covenants and agrees that all Common stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and non-assessable and free from preemptive rights and all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Corporation further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Corporation will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 

9) Registration. The Corporation and Holder acknowledge and agree that this Warrant is subject to the rights, privileges obligations set forth in that certain Investor Rights Agreement by and between the Corporation, the Investors and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. dated May 2, 2005.
