Section
2.           
Exercise.

 


a)           Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times
on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the
Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed
facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail
attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto
(the “Notice of
Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading
Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following
the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the
aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the
applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s
check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise
procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the
applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise
shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type
of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be
required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant
to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant
Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in
full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date
on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.
Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a
portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder
shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable
number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company
shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares
purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver
any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day
of receipt of such notice. The
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares
hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase
hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on
the face hereof.

 


b)           Exercise
Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except
for a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per Warrant Share, was
pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date
and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the
nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per Warrant Share) shall be
required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any
exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall not be entitled to the
return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate
exercise price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever,
including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised
prior to the Termination Date. The remaining unpaid exercise price
per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.0001,
subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).

 


c)           Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in
part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in
which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant
Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by
(A), where:

 


(A) =
as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such
Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading
Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as
defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the
federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of
the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the
Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as
reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s
execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on
a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter
(including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a)
hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of
Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day
and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant
to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading
hours” on such Trading Day;


 




 

2








 






 


 


 


(B) =
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder;
and


 


(X) =
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if
such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a
cashless exercise.


 



“Bid Price” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses
that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a
Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in
question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on
which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by
Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York
City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or
OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of
the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on
OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then
listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for
the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of
reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the
Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an
independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a
majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding (based on the
underlying Warrant Shares) and reasonably acceptable to the
Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the
Company.

 


“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the
following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then
listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted
average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is
then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a
Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New
York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market,
the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date
(or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable,
(c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on
OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported
on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent
bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all
other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as
determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by
the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants
then
outstanding (based on the
underlying Warrant Shares) and reasonably acceptable to the
Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the
Company.

 



If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the
parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section
3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the
registered characteristics of the Warrants being
exercised.  The Company agrees not to take any position
contrary to this Section 2(c).

 


Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this
Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise
pursuant to this Section 2(c).

d)           Mechanics
of Exercise.

 


i.      Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the
Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the
Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at
Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an
effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the
Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or
(B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise of the
Warrants, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate,
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the
Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address
specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that
is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to
the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day
after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and
(iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise
(such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the
Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become
the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of
delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless
exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant
Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share
Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant
Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common
Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per
Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading
Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading
Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant
Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company
agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the
FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and
exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement
Period” means the standard settlement period,
expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s
primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in
effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
[Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of
Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time
after the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company
agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by
4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the
Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for
purposes hereunder.]4

 


ii.           Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a
Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time
of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.

 


iii.           Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will
have the right to rescind such exercise.

iv.           Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or
before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the
Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm
otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder was entitled to receive upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”), then the
Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by
which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver
to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2)
the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number
of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which
case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder; provided, however, that, under this
clause (B), the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require
the reinstatement of the portion of the Warrant and the equivalent
Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored and (ii)
receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery
requirements hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In
with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock
with an aggregate actual sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to
pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.

 


v.   
      No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would
otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company
shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of
such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole
share.

 


vi.           Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of 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 Warrant
Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such Warrant Shares 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 that 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 duly
executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition
thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any
transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer
Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of
Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions)
required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant
Shares.

 


vii.           Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

e)           Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any
exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or
otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise,
the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any
other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of
the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which
would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other
Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated 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) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for
any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the
extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies,
the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this
Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the
Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed
to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no
obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with
the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or
Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company,
may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section
2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership
Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements
necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this 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 or distributions 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 shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines
(including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of
capital stock of the Company, 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 (excluding treasury shares, if
any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or re-classification.

b)           Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition
to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time
the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or
rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common
Stock (the “Purchase
Rights”), then the Holder
will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder
could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including
without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the
grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights (provided,
however,
that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in
any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or
beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of
such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such
extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 


c)           Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is
outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of
cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a
dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a
“Distribution”), at any
time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case,
the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to
the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if
the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of
which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such
Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent
that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution
would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in
such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of
any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such
extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as
its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

d)           Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or
more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly
or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii)
any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed
pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell,
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,
reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash
or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or
more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase
agreement or other business combination (including, without
limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or
scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons
whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of
Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or
party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making
or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other
business combination) (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the
number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction
(without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise
of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the
determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of
Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall
apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different
components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property
to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall
be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor
entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the
survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and
approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder,
deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of
the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which
is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital
stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to
the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value
of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such
number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for
the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant
immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and
be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor
Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 


e)           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. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock
deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the
sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 


f)           Notice
to Holder.

 


i.      Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted
pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall
promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice
setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any
resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.

ii.           Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall
declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the
approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the
Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in
each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or
email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address
as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at
least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective
date hereinafter specified (or less than 20 calendar days if sent
concurrently upon the notice sent to the Company’s
stockholders or public disclosure by the Company of such events), a
notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which
the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected
to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any
defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to
exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of
such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such
notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
herein.

 


Section
4.              
Transfer of
Warrant.

 


a)           Transferability.
[Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the
conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions
of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement,]5 this Warrant and all rights hereunder
(including, without limitation, any registration rights) are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant
at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in
the form attached hereto 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. Upon such surrender and, if
required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as
applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in
such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a
new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant
in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to
the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the
Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this
Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in
accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant
issued.

b)           New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the
Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and
denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the
Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section
4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on
transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this
Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the
number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 


c)           Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon
records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
“Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof
from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose
of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for
all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.

 


d)           [Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the
transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky
laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to
Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the
case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the
Purchase Agreement.

 


e)           Representation
by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof,
represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon
any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon
such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof
in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law.]6

 


Section
5.             
Miscellaneous.

 


a)           No
Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash.
This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to
the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as
expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting the rights of a
Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless
exercise,” and to receive the cash payments contemplated
pursuant to Sections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(iv), in no event will the
Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this
Warrant.

 


b)           Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. 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.

c)           Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.

 


d)           Authorized
Shares.

 


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 issuing the necessary
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this
Warrant. 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. The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares which 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 and payment for
such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the
issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 


Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of
all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will
(i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to
such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may
be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations
under this Warrant.

 


 




 

11








 






 


 

 


Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction
thereof.

 


e)           Jurisdiction.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.

 


f)           Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the
exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does
not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale
imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 


g)           Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure
to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s
rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that the right
to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Termination Date.
Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the
Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to
comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any
material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder
such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in
collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise
enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.

 


h)           Notices.
Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be
given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered
in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.

 


i)           Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to
purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the
Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by
the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 


j)           Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company
agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for
any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of
this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.

 


k)           Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this
Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted
assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of
Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the
benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall
be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.

 


 




 

12








 






 


 

 


l)           Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof
waived with the written consent of the Company and the holders of
Warrants holding at least a majority of the then outstanding
Warrants (based on underlying Warrant Shares), provided that any
modification or amendment that disproportionately and materially
adversely affects the Holder relative to other holders of Warrants
shall require the consent of the Holder.

 


m)        
Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the
remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 


n)           Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of
this Warrant.
