FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

Each Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate is a part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the registered holders of Global Warrant Certificates.

 

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer and surrender of the Warrants at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose, a new Global Warrant Certificate or Global Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Global Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations set forth in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any applicable tax or other charge.

 

Subject to Section 9 of the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock.

 

No Warrants may be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, state securities laws or other applicable law. The Warrants do not entitle the registered holder hereof or the Holders to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

 

The Company and Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Global Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for the purpose of any exercise hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

This Global Warrant Certificate is held by The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) or its nominee in custody for the benefit of the beneficial owners hereof, and is not transferable to any Person under any circumstances except that (i) this Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred pursuant to Section 5 of the Warrant Agreement, and (ii) this Global Warrant Certificate may be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Warrant Agreement.

 

Unless this Global Warrant Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository to the Company or the Warrant Agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co., or such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment hereon is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any Person is wrongful because the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

 

No registration or transfer of the securities issuable pursuant to the Warrants will be recorded on the books and records of the Company or the Warrant Agent until the provisions set forth in the Warrant Agreement have been complied with.

 

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Global Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement shall control.
