the right to purchase shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October 18, 2006 by and among the Company, the Warrantholder and the other parties thereto (as such agreement is amended

 3. Exercise of Warrant. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, and provided that a Future Financing Transaction (as defined in the 2006 Securities Purchase Agreement) was not been consummated on or before
                     , 20__, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time upon surrender of the Warrant,
together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Exercise Agreement”) and payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds (or by cash-less exercise as
provided in Section 17) for the Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof). The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of
business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company), the Warrant Price shall have been paid, the completed
Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered and, in the case of any transfer of Warrant Shares effected at the time of such exercise, an appropriately executed stock power and a certificate containing such reasonable and appropriate customary
representations as may be reasonably requested by the Company shall have been delivered to the Company. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be
delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder
hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or, subject to compliance with applicable law, such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has
expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. 
 (b) In the event a Future Financing Transaction is consummated on or before
                     , 200__, this Warrant shall be null and void ab initio. 
 (c) Each exercise hereof shall constitute the re-affirmation by the Warrantholder that the representations and warranties contained in Sections
5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 of the 2006 Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Warrantholder as of the time of such exercise. 
 4. Compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend is unnecessary. 
 5. Payment of
Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or
taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant in respect of which such shares are issued, and in
such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s
reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The holder shall be responsible for income and gift taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax is due. 
 6. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or
in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for 

  Warrant – Page

the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction
of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if requested by the Company. 
 7. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary) as contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued Common Stock, sufficient shares to
provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant in compliance with its terms. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such
Warrant Shares upon payment in full of the Warrant Price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Warrant (or by cash-less exercise as provided below), duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the
Company. 
 8. Adjustments to Warrant Price and Warrant Shares. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Warrant
Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter. 
 (a)
In the event the Company shall at any time after the Original Issue Date (as defined below) issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (defined below) (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued), without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the applicable Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then the Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to the consideration per share received by the Company for such
issuance or deemed issuance of the Additional Shares of Common Stock; provided that, if such issuance or deemed issuance was without consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have received an aggregate of $0.01 of
consideration for all such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, if the Company shall issue any Options and/or Convertible Securities, or otherwise agrees
to issue any Options and/or Convertible Securities, then the Company shall be deemed to have issued Additional Shares of Common Stock and the applicable provisions of this Section 8 shall apply to such issuance or deemed issuance.

 (b) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 8, the consideration received by the Company for the
issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows: 
 (i) Cash and Property: Such
consideration shall: 
 (1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the
Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest; 
 (2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be
computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and 
 (3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as
provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 

  Warrant – Page

 (ii) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received
by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing: 
 (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company
upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, by 
 (2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating
thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible
Securities, the exercise of such Options and Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. 
 (c)
Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Company shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Warrant
Price pursuant to the terms of Section 8(a) above, and such issuance dates occur within a period of no more than 30 days from the first such issuance to the final such issuance, then, upon the final such issuance, the Warrant Price shall
be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period). 
 (d) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be increased in
proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price in
effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 8(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. 
 (e) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date
shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the
Warrant Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Warrant Price
then in effect by a fraction: 
 (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and 

  Warrant – Page
 5
 
  

 (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; 
 provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully
made on the date fixed therefor, the Warrant Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 8(e) as of the time of actual
payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the Warrantholder simultaneously receives a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock as the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised on the date of such event. 
 (f) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property, then and in each such event the
Warrantholder shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as the
Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised on the date of such event. 
 (g) Adjustment for Merger or
Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property
(other than a transaction covered by Sections 8(d), 5(e) or 5(f), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable in lieu of the
Common Stock into which it was exercisable prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the
provisions in this Section 8, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 8 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or properties thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. 
 (h) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 8, the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any
event not later than 10 days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Warrantholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property into which the Warrant is exercisable) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any
time of the Warrantholder (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to the Warrantholder a certificate setting forth (i) the Warrant Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or 
 (ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, or any liquidation of the

securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Common Stock.
Such notice shall be sent at least 20 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice. Any notice required by the provisions hereof to be given to the Warrantholder shall be deemed sent to the Warrantholder if

 3. Exercise of Warrant. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time upon surrender of the Warrant, together
with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Exercise Agreement”) and payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds (or by cash-less exercise as provided in
Section 17) for the Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency
of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof). The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on
the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company), the Warrant Price shall have been paid, the completed Exercise Agreement
shall have been delivered and, in the case of any transfer of Warrant Shares effected at the time of such exercise, an appropriately executed stock power and a certificate containing such reasonable and appropriate customary representations as may
be reasonably requested by the Company shall have been delivered to the Company. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be
registered in the name of such holder or, subject to compliance with applicable law, such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company
shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. 
 (b) Each exercise hereof shall constitute the re-affirmation by the Warrantholder that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 1,
2 and 3 of Appendix C hereto are true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Warrantholder as of the time of such exercise. 
 4. Compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend is unnecessary. 
 5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay
any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax
has been paid. The holder shall be responsible for income and gift taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax is due. 
 6. Mutilated or
Missing Warrants. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost,
stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to
a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if requested by the Company.

 7. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if
necessary) as contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant in compliance with its terms. The Company
agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant Shares upon payment in full of the Warrant Price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Warrant (or by
cash-less exercise as provided below), duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company. 
 8.
Adjustments to Warrant Price and Warrant Shares. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth hereinafter. 
 (a) Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, the holder of the
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment (but in no event for less than the par value per share of the Common Stock even though the Warrant Price may be adjusted hereto pursuant to less
than the par value per share of the Common Stock), the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to
such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment. 
 (b) If the Company shall at any time
or from time to time while the Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective, shall be adjusted by
the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised
immediately prior to such event upon payment of a Warrant Price that has been adjusted to reflect a fair allocation of the economics of such event to the Warrantholder. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above
shall occur. 
 (c) If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the
Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the
terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange
for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not taken
place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or properties thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or other disposition without the consent of the Warrantholder

unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or
merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 8(c) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations,
mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions. 
 (d) In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all
holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions
payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends or distributions referred to in Section 8(c)), or subscription rights or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price per share of Common Stock
(as defined below), less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and (ii) the denominator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price per share of Common Stock. “Market Price” as of a particular date (the “Valuation Date”) shall mean the following:
(1) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; (2) if the Common Stock is then quoted on
Nasdaq, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low sales price quoted on Nasdaq on the
last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; or (3) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, shall be determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors and the Warrantholder. The Board of Directors shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder prior to the exercise hereunder as to the Market Value of a share of Common Stock as determined
by the Board of Directors. In the event that the Board of Directors and the Warrantholder are unable to agree upon the Market Value in respect of Section 8(d)(3) hereof, the Company and the Warrantholder shall jointly select an
appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Warrantholder. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever such a payment date is fixed. 
 (e) For the term of this Warrant, in addition to the provisions contained above, the Warrant Price
shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. An adjustment to the Warrant Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event
which requires an adjustment. 
 (f) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the holder
of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from
time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant. 
 9. Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this
Section 9, be delivered upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering 

  Warrant – Page

such fractional share, shall pay to the exercising holder of this Warrant an amount in cash equal to the current Market Price of such fractional share of
Common Stock. 
 10. Benefits. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the
Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder. 
 11. Notices to Warrantholder. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the
Warrantholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment. 
 12. Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is ComputerShare Investor Services. Upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the
Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will mail to the Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent. 
 13. Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as
hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by telex or telecopier, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete
transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and
(iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one day after delivery to such carrier. All notices shall be addressed as follows: (i) if to the Warrantholder, at its address as
set forth in the Company’s books and records and, if to the Company, at the address as follows, or at such other address as the Warrantholder or the Company may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other:

 14. Registration Rights. The initial holder of this Warrant may be entitled to the benefit of certain
registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as provided in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Company and certain of its stockholders (the “2006 Purchase Agreement”), and any
subsequent holder hereof may be entitled to such rights. The initial Warrantholder and any subsequent Warrantholder hereof shall be third party beneficiaries of all registration rights contained in the 2006 Purchase Agreement (subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations contained therein) with respect to the Warrant Shares (on a pari passu basis with the registration rights granted to the holders of warrants issued pursuant to the 2006 Purchase Agreement). In the event the Company
postpones indefinitely or cancels, with the approval of the 30% Investors’ Consent (as such term is defined in the 2006 Purchase Agreement), the registration statement contemplated to be filed as described in the 2006 Purchase Agreement, then
the Company shall include the Warrant Shares in any subsequent registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company that includes the ability of any Company stockholders to sell shares on terms generally consistent with the terms contemplated
by the 2006 Purchase Agreement. 
 15. Successors. All the covenants and provisions hereof by or for the benefit of the Warrantholder shall bind and
inure to the benefit of its respective successors and assigns hereunder. 
 16. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 17. Net Issue Election. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary,
if the Warrant Shares may not be freely sold to the public for any reason (including, but not limited to, the failure of the Company to have effected the registration of the Warrant Shares or to have a current prospectus available for delivery or
otherwise, but excluding the inability of the Warrantholder to sell the Warrant Shares due to market conditions), the Warrantholder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Warrantholder of the aggregate Warrant Price in respect of the
shares of Common Stock to be acquired, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant (or such portion of this Warrant being so exercised) together with the Net Issue Election Notice
annexed hereto as Appendix B duly executed, at the office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder such number of fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the
following formula: 
 X = Y (A - B) 
     A 
 where 
  

	 	X =	the number of Warrant Shares which the Warrantholder has then requested be issued to the Warrantholder; 

  

	 	Y =	the total number of Warrant Shares which the Warrantholder has surrendered at such time for cash-less exercise (including both shares to be issued to the Warrantholder and shares to
be canceled as payment therefor); 

  

	 	A =	the Market Price of a share of Common Stock; and 

  

	 	B =	the Warrant Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made.

 18. No Rights as Stockholder. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have or
exercise any rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of its ownership of this Warrant.

be amended or waived (including the adjustment provisions included in Section 8 of this Warrant) upon the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder. 
 20. Section Headings. The section heading in this Warrant are for the convenience of the Company and the Warrantholder and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the provisions hereof.

 21. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, sale of assets 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the par value of any shares of stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and at all times will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
non-assessable stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares. Warrantholder further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.
The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in the Credit Agreement or the right of Warrantholder to rely thereon. 
 3. Accredited Investor. Warrantholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect and Warrantholder is also
