     (y) giving a subscription form in the form of Exhibit 1 to this Warrant (duly executed by the

payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of funds to the account of the Company, in
any such case, in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock
designated by the Holder in the subscription form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect. On any
partial exercise the Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a
new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by
the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, providing in the aggregate on the face or
faces thereof for the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant or
Warrants may still be exercised. The subscription form may be surrendered by telephone line
facsimile transmission to such telephone number for the Company as shall have been specified in
writing to the Holder by the Company; provided, however, that if the subscription form is given to
the Company by telephone line facsimile transmission the Holder shall send an original of such
subscription form to the Company within ten Business Days after such subscription form is so given
to the Company; provided further, however, that any failure or delay on the part of the Holder in
giving such original of any subscription form shall not affect the validity or the date on which
such subscription form is so given by telephone line facsimile transmission.



     (b) At any time during the term of this Warrant, the Company shall have the right by giving
written notice to the Holder (the “Mandatory Exercise Notice”) to require that the Holder exercise
this Warrant during the Mandatory Exercise Period (as defined below) with respect to the lesser of
(i) 83,334 shares (subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock
dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock
occurring after the date of this Warrant) or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock then
issuable with respect to this Warrant, so long as the following conditions precedent are satisfied:




	 	(A)  	on the date the Mandatory Exercise Notice is given and at all times thereafter
through the Mandatory Exercise Period, the SEC registration statement covering the
resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to this Warrant shall be
effective and available for use by the Holder for the resale of the shares of Common
Stock to be so issued upon the mandatory exercise of this Warrant; and
	 
	 	(B)  	during the period of 5 consecutive Trading Days ending on and including the
Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Mandatory Exercise Notice,
the VWAP of the Common Stock shall have been at least equal to $12.00.





To exercise its right of mandatory exercise under this Section 2(b) the Company shall give the
Mandatory Exercise Notice to the Holder not less than 5 Trading Days prior to the beginning date of
the Mandatory Exercise Period, stating that: (i) the Company is exercising its right to require
the Holder to exercise this Warrant in accordance with this Section 2(b), and (ii) that all of the
conditions of this Section 2(b) entitling the Company to require the Holder to exercise this
Warrant have been met. “Mandatory Exercise Period” shall mean a period of 30 consecutive Trading
Days (beginning not less than 5 Trading Days after the effective date of the Mandatory Exercise
Notice) as specified in the Mandatory Exercise Notice.




-4-









 








     3. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. (a) As soon as practicable after the
exercise of this Warrant and in any event within three Trading Days thereafter, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it
of any applicable issue or stamp taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the
Holder, or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct,
a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such denominations
as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive
and trading legends (except for legends referenced in Section 6.11 of the Purchase Agreement),
plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal
to such fraction multiplied by the VWAP of one full share of Common Stock, together with any other
stock or Other Securities or any property (including cash, where applicable) to which the Holder is
entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise on the date of the exercise of this
Warrant that gives rise to such fraction (or the immediately preceding Trading Day if this Warrant
is exercised on a day other than a Trading Day). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for
the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant,
provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast
Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent electronically to transmit such shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by
crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock
certificates shall apply). The Company shall pay any taxes and other governmental charges that may
be imposed under the laws of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) or payment of cash upon exercise of this Warrant (other than income taxes imposed
on the Holder). The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed
in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of any certificate for shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or payment of cash to any Person other
than the Holder, and in case of such transfer or payment the Company shall not be required to
deliver any certificate for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) upon such exercise or pay
any cash until such tax or charge has been paid or it has been established to the Company’s
reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or charge is due. Upon exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein, the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the
absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the
same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Company to the Holder,
or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach
by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged
violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with such
exercise.



     4. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (a) If any of the following
events occur, namely:



-5-









 






     (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (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),




     (ii) any consolidation, merger statutory exchange or combination of the Company with
another corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in
exchange for such Common Stock,




     (iii) any transaction or event in connection with which all or substantially all the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be exchanged for, converted into, acquired for or
constitute the right to receive securities of any other Person (whether by means of a Tender
Offer, liquidation, consolidation, merger, share exchange, combination, reclassification,
recapitalization, or otherwise), or




     (iv) any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as, or
substantially as, an entirety to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including
cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,



then the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the
Holder a written agreement providing that:




     (x) this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the kind and amount of
 shares of stock and Other Securities or property or assets (including cash) receivable upon
such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale
or conveyance by the holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of
Common Stock available to exercise this Warrant) immediately prior to such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance assuming
such holder of Common Stock did not exercise such holder’s rights of election, if any, as to
the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or
amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
statutory exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in
respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing
share”), then for the purposes of this Section 4 the kind and amount of securities, cash or
other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or
conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares),




     (y) in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing
Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of
the Company’s obligations under this Warrant, and



-6-









 






     (z) if registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act or applicable state
law for the public resale by the Holder of such shares of stock and Other Securities so
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be
completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange,
combination or sale.



Such written agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. If, in the case of any such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or
conveyance, the stock or other securities or other property or assets receivable thereupon by a
holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or
assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case
may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination,
sale or conveyance, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and
shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of
Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.




     (b) The above provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances.



     5. Adjustment for Certain Extraordinary Events. If on or after the Issuance Date the Company
shall (i) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on
outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of
such event, be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter
be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in
the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this
Section 5. The Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2, be
entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock which would be issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such issuance,
subdivision or combination, as the case may be, by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance and (ii) the denominator is the
Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.



     6. Tax Adjustments. The Company may make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition
to those required by Sections 4 and 5 as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid
or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting
from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated
as such for income tax purposes.



-7-









 





     7. Minimum Adjustment. (a) No adjustment in the Purchase Price (and no related adjustment in
the number of shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant) shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least
1% in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 7
are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All such calculations under this Warrant shall be made by the Company and shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may be.



     (b) No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common Stock or from par
value to no par value or from no par value to par value.



     8. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted as herein provided, the
Company shall promptly, but in no event later than five Trading Days thereafter, give a notice to
the Holder setting forth the Purchase Price and number of shares of Common Stock which may be
purchased upon exercise of this Warrant after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment but which such statement shall not include any information
which would be material non-public information for purposes of the 1934 Act. Failure to deliver
such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.



     9. Further Assurances. The Company will take all action that may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
stock, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other than any tax
arising by reason of a transfer deemed to occur by the issuance of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) upon exercise of this Warrant to a Person other than the Holder), on the exercise of
all or any portion of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.



     10. Reservation of Stock, etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. The Company will at all
times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely
for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) to effect the full exercise of this Warrant and the exercise,
conversion or exchange of all other Common Stock Equivalents from time to time outstanding (or
Other Securities), and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) shall not be sufficient to effect such exercise, conversion or exchange, the
Company shall take such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to such number as shall be sufficient for such purposes.



     11. Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of the successors to and,
upon transfer hereof in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Transaction Documents,
assigns of the Holder. This Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, are registrable
at the office or agency of the Company referred to below by the Holder in Person or by his duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed accompanied by an assignment
form in the form attached to this Warrant, or other customary form, duly executed by the
transferring Holder.



-8-









 





     12. Register of Warrants. The Company shall maintain, at the principal office of the Company
(or such other office as it may designate by notice to the Holder), a register in which the Company
shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well
as the name and address of each successor and prior owner of such Warrant. The Company shall be
entitled to treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is so registered as the sole and absolute
owner of this Warrant for all purposes.



     13. Exchange of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the
Holder at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 12, for one or more new
Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the
number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) which may be subscribed for and purchased
hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and purchase such
number of shares as shall be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.



     14. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (a) in
the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity from the Holder reasonably satisfactory in
form to the Company (and without the requirement to post any bond or other security), or (b) in the
case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor without charge to the Holder.



     15. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint the transfer
agent and registrar for the Common Stock as the Company’s agent for the purpose of issuing Common
Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2, and the Company
may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent having an office in the United States of
America for the purpose of exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 13, and replacing this
Warrant pursuant to Section 14, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such exchange or
replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.



     16. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder in the event of
any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of
the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically
enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an
injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.



     17. No Rights or Liabilities as a Stockholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this
Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to consent or to
receive notice as a stockholder of the Company on any matters or with respect to any rights
whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued
in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the Common Stock (or Other
Securities) purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been
exercised in accordance with its terms.



-9-









 





     18. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall
be in writing and delivered personally, by confirmed facsimile, by a nationally recognized
overnight courier service or mailed by first class certified mail, postage prepaid, at such
facsimile telephone number or address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by the
Holder or at such facsimile telephone number or the address shown for the Holder on the register of
Warrants referred to in Section 12.



     19. Transfer Restrictions. This Warrant has not been and is not being registered under the
provisions of the 1933 Act or any state securities laws and this Warrant may not be transferred
prior to the end of the holding period applicable to sales hereof under Rule 144(k) unless (1) the
transferee is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act) or a QIB in
a transfer that meets the requirements of Rule 144A and (2) the Holder shall have delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company,
to the effect that this Warrant may be sold or transferred without registration under the 1933 Act.
Prior to any such transfer, such transferee shall have represented in writing to the Company that
such transferee has requested and received from the Company all information relating to the
business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other), results of operations or
prospects of the Company deemed relevant by such transferee; that such transferee has been afforded
the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the foregoing and has had the
opportunity to obtain and review the registration statement covering the resale of the Common Stock
shares issuable under this Warrant and the prospectus related thereto, each as amended or
supplemented to the date of transfer to such transferee, and the reports and other information
concerning the Company which at the time of such transfer have been filed by the Company with the
SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act and which are incorporated by reference in such prospectus as of the
date of such transfer.



     20. Rule 144A Information Requirement. Within the period prior to the expiration of the
holding period applicable to sales hereof under Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act (or any successor
provision), the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not
subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the 1934 Act, make available to the Holder and the holder of
any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant which continue to be Restricted
Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of this Warrant from
the Holder, the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the 1933 Act upon the
request of the Holder and it will take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request,
all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell this Warrant without
registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144A, as
Rule 144A may be amended from time to time.] Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will
deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.



     21. Legend. The provisions of Section 6.11 of the Purchase Agreement and the related
definitions of capitalized terms used therein and defined in the Purchase Agreement are by this
reference incorporated herein as if set forth in full at this place.

or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of
such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

governed by the internal laws of the State of New York. The headings, captions and footers in this
Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the
