then the kind of capital stock or other securities of the Company which may be purchased shall be adjusted in the case of such a reclassification of the Common Stock, each on the record date for such dividend or distribution or effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, as the case may be, such that the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock which, if the Warrant had been fully exercised immediately prior to such date, it would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification.

	  	  
	  	
                                (v)           fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of its Common Stock entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger, but excluding any distribution referred to in subparagraph (a) above) of:

	  	  
	  	  	
                                      (A)          any evidences of indebtedness, any shares of its capital stock (including Convertible Securities but excluding Common Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus); or

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                                      (B)          any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock (including Convertible Securities) or any other of its securities or its property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus);

	  	  	  
	  	
          Such adjustments shall be made whenever such a record date is fixed. A reclassification of the 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) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this subparagraph (a)(v) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of the balance of this subparagraph (a).

	  	  
	  	
                    (b)          Consolidation or Merger.

Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Paragraph 3. The provisions of this subparagraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

	  	  
	  	
                    (c)          Issuance of Shares, Warrants or Other Rights. If at any time the Company shall issue or sell to any Person any Additional Shares of Common Stock, or warrants or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable (but

 

  

5

  

	  	
excluding any distributions in subparagraphs (a) or (b) above), an adjustment shall be made on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such warrants or other similar rights or necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding, (ii) the price per share for such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the lowest possible price per share in any range of prices per share at which such Additional Shares of Common Stock are available to such holders, and (iii) the Company shall be deemed to have received all of the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of the actual issuance of such warrants or other similar rights.

	  	  
	  	
                    (d)          Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment to the Warrant Price shall have been made pursuant to subparagraph (c) above as the result of any issuance of warrants, rights or Convertible Securities, and either

	  	  
	  	  	
                (i)          such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in any other Convertible Securities, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised; or

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                (ii)          the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants or rights, or the terms of such other Convertible Securities, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event;

	  	  	  
	  	
          then such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation.

	  	  
	  	
                    (e)          Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Paragraph 3, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest whole share.

	  	  
	  	
                    (f)          When Adjustments Not Required. If the Company shall fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of its Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or distribution and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

 

                      4.        Notices of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 3, the Company shall forthwith deliver to the Holder a certificate prepared by the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company determined the fair value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights), specifying the number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder, the Warrant Price after giving effect to such adjustment and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Paragraph 3 (a)) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock for which the Warrant is exercisable. In the event that the Holder shall disagree with any such adjustment, it shall notify the Company thereof in writing and the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such matter within fifteen (15) business days. If the parties do not resolve such matter within such period, then any such disagreement shall be resolved (on a binding basis) by an investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing mutually agreeable to the Company and the Holder, or if the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon an investment banking firm, an investment banking firm selected by an investment banking firm chosen by the Company and an investment banking firm chosen by the Holder.

The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issuance of any Warrant Shares or certificate therefor.

Upon the written request of the Holder given within twenty (20) Business Days after the giving of any such notice by the Company and so long as Holder is in compliance with Paragraph 13(b) hereof, the Company shall use best efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Warrant Shares that the Holder requests be registered. In addition to the foregoing rights, and also subject to Paragraph 12(e) below, at any time during the term of this Warrant when the Warrant Shares are not registered pursuant to an effective registration statement (but when other shares of Common Stock are so registered), Holder may make a written request for the registration under the Securities Act (a “Demand Registration”) of all of such Warrant Shares, and the Company shall use its best efforts to effect such Demand Registration as promptly as possible. The right to cause a Demand Registration of the Warrant Shares under this Paragraph 12(a) shall be limited to one (1) such registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 12, the Company shall not be required to effect or maintain any new registration if the Company has previously filed with the Commission five (5) registration statements pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 12.

	  	  
	  	
                           (b)          Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under Paragraph 12(a) to use best efforts to effect the registration of any Warrant Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

	  	  
	  	  	
                            (iii)        Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Warrant Shares and use best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective; provided, however, that in connection with any proposed registration intended to permit an offering of any securities from time to time (i.e., a so-called “shelf registration”), the Company shall in no event be obligated to cause any such registration to remain effective for more than 365 days.

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                            (iv)        Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                            (v)         Furnish to the Holder such numbers of copies of the prospectus, including the preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, including, without limitation, copies of the registration statement and any amendments thereto as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Warrant Shares owned by the Holder.

                    (vi)          Use best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such states or jurisdictions as, in the opinion of the managing underwriter of the offering, shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of the securities covered by the registration statement, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business in any such states or jurisdictions, and further provided that (anything in this Warrant to the contrary notwithstanding with respect to the bearing of expenses) if any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified shall require that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities in that jurisdiction be borne by selling shareholders, then such expenses shall be payable by selling shareholders, pro rata, to the extent required by such jurisdiction.

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                    (vii)         Use best efforts to cause such Warrant Shares to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities of the Company are then listed (or, if no securities of the Company are then listed, on a securities exchange selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder), and enter into related customary agreements including a listing application and indemnification agreement in customary form.

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                    (viii)        Promptly notify in writing the Holder and any underwriters (a) when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (b) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus or for additional information, (c) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (d) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company made in connection with the registration statement cease to be true and correct in all material respects, (e) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (f) of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in the registration statement, the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue or which requires the making of any changes in the registration statement, the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                    (ix)          Make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible moment.

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                    (x)           Cooperate with the Holders and any underwriter to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold which do not bear any restrictive legends; and cause such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any underwriter may request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters.

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                    (xi)          Make generally available to its stockholders earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of any fiscal quarter (or ninety (90) days after the end of any fiscal year) (a) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm or best efforts underwritten offering, or, if not sold to underwriters, in such an offering, (b) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement.

	 	 	 
	  	  	
                    (xii)          Take any such other actions as may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holder to dispose of its Warrant Shares pursuant to this Paragraph 12, including, without limitation, entering into an underwriting agreement with a managing underwriter or underwriters specified by the Holder, which contains customary provisions including indemnification.

                    (c)          Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company under this Paragraph 12 that the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the Warrant Shares held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company.

	  	  
	  	
                    (d)          Registration Expenses. In the case of any registration effected pursuant to Paragraph 12(a), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall bear any additional registration and qualification fees and expenses and any additional costs and disbursements of counsel for the Company that result from the inclusion of securities held by the Holder in such registration. The Holder shall bear the fees and costs of its own counsel and underwriters’ discounts and commissions with respect to its Warrant Shares.

	  	  
	  	
                    (e)          Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares being issued by the Company, the Company shall not be required under Paragraph 12(a) to include any of the Holder’s Warrant Shares in such underwriting unless the Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as will not, in the written opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of Warrant Shares that the Holder requests to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities that the underwriters reasonably believe compatible with the success of the offering, the Company shall be required to include in the offering only so many of the Warrant Shares of the Holder as the underwriters believe will not jeopardize the success of the offering. The exclusion shall apply to all holders of Registrable Securities (and shall not apply to shares held or issuable by the Company) proposing to sell shares of Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering on a pro rata basis (in proportion to the respective number of shares of Registrable Securities as to which registration has be requested by such holders). To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company may round the number of shares allocated the nearest one hundred (100) shares. In any registration involving an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, the Holder shall have the unconditional right to withdraw, by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter(s) any or all of its Registrable Securities from such registration prior to the initial distribution of preliminary prospectuses with respect to such underwritten offering. If Registrable Securities are not withdrawn by such time, the Holder of such Registrable Securities shall have no right to withdraw such Registrable Securities from such registration and shall be obligated to sell such Registrable Securities at a price per share (the “Sale Price”) to be determined by the Company and the managing underwriter(s) for such underwritten offering, provided that such Sale Price is either within the range set forth on the cover of the preliminary prospectus relating to such underwritten offering or is in excess of the highest offering price set forth in such range. Any Registrable Securities that are withdrawn from registration hereunder shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to ninety (90) days after the effective date of such registration, or such other shorter period of time as the managing underwriter(s) for such registration may require.

	  	  
	  	
                    (f)          Indemnification. In the event any Warrant Shares are included in a registration statement under this Paragraph 12:

 

  

10

  

 

	  	
                    (i)          To the extent permitted by law, the Company will and hereby does defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, each of its directors and officers and any agent for it, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holder, and each Person, if any, who controls the Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Holder or any such director, officer, agent, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on (x) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any statement incorporated by reference therein, or (y) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (z) any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company will reimburse Holder, and each such officer, director, underwriter or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Paragraph 12(f)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in connection with such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for inclusion in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendments or supplements by the Person requesting indemnification.

	  	  
	  	
                    (ii)          To the extent permitted by law, the Holder, when joining in a registration, will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each agent and any underwriter for the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, agent or underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any (x) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any statement incorporated by reference therein, or (y) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any statement incorporated by reference therein, was made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder expressly for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the indemnification liability of the Holder shall not exceed the amount by which the total price at which any shares of Registrable Securities sold by the Holder were offered to the public (less any applicable underwriting discounts and commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages by which the Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling Person, agent or underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Paragraph 12(f)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

  

11

  

 

	  	
                    (iii)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Paragraph 12(f) of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Paragraph 12(f) notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party (provided that the indemnified party’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in such defense. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Paragraph 12(f), but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Paragraph 12(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (x) if the indemnified party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified party different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall be entitled to have separate counsel to participate in the defense at the expense of the indemnifying party, and (y) in any event, the indemnified party shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such indemnified party participate in, but not to conduct, the defense at the indemnified party’s expense.

	  	  
	  	
                    (iv)          If the indemnification provided in either Paragraphs 12(f)(i) or (ii) above is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party thereunder shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, but bearing in mind any limitations of liability of the Company specified in Paragraph 12(f)(i) above. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each party entitled to contribution agrees that upon service of a summons or other initial legal process upon such party in connection with any action instituted against such party in respect of which contribution may be sought, such party will promptly give written notice of such service to the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to notify such party or parties of any such service shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation such party or parties may have hereunder, or otherwise (except as specifically otherwise provided in this Paragraph 12(f)).

                          (g)         Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of any of the Warrant Shares to the public without registration, after such time as any of the Warrant Shares have been purchased by the Holder, and provided that the Company has previously registered any of its shares pursuant to the Securities Act, the Company agrees to use best efforts to:

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                           (i)          Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the date that the Company became subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act;

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                          (ii)          File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                          (iii)         To furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (C) such other reports and documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company that the Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

	  	  	  
	  	
                         (h)         Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights granted to the Holder under Paragraph 12 hereof may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer or assignment of any of the Warrant Shares previously purchased by a Holder.

	  	  	  
	  	
                         (i)          Certain Limitations in Connection with Future Grants of Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company providing for the granting of registration rights to such holder unless such agreement:

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                           (i)           includes a provision the equivalent of Paragraph 12(g); and

	  	  	  
	  	  	
                          (ii)          includes a provision that, in the case of a public offering involving an underwritten registered offering under Paragraph 12(a), protects the Holder if marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities to be included in the underwriting by providing that all selling shareholders will be allowed to register and sell a pro rata portion of their securities based upon the ratio that the amount of securities held by each selling shareholder bears to the aggregate of the securities held by the selling shareholders.

	  	  	  
	  	
                         (j)          Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Company under Paragraphs 12 and 14 shall survive the issuance of all of the Warrant Shares to the Holder pursuant hereto.

	  	  	  
	  	
            13.          Market Stand Off; Compliance with Securities Laws.

	  	  	  
	  	
                        (a)         The Holder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or other securities of the Company) held by it during the one hundred eighty (180) day period (in the case of the Company’s initial public offering) and ninety (90) day period (in the case of subsequent offerings, unless the underwriter determines in its good faith business judgment that it is necessary for the period to be extended up to a total of one hundred eighty (180) days) following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act if so requested by the Company and underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities), provided that all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such period.

 

  

13

  

 

	  	
                       (b)        During such time as the Holder may be engaged in a distribution of Registrable Securities, the Holder will comply with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act and pursuant thereto will, among other things: (i) not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with the securities of the Company in contravention of such rules; (ii) distribute the securities owned by the Holder solely in the manner described in the registration statement; (iii) cause to be furnished to each underwriter, agent or broker-dealer to or through whom the Registrable Securities owned by the Holder may be offered, or to the offeree if an offer is made directly by the Holder, such copies of the prospectus (as amended and supplemented to such date) and documents incorporated by reference therein as may be required by such underwriter, agent, broker-dealer or offeree; and (iv) not bid for or purchase any securities of the Company or attempt to induce any person to purchase any securities of the Company other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.

	  	  
	  	
          14.          Due Diligence. The Company will provide to the authorized representative(s) of PLI and Holder full access, during normal business hours, to any and all premises, properties, files, books, records, documents and other information of the Company and will cause its officer to furnish to PLI and/or Holder or its authorized representatives any and all financial, technical and operating data and other information pertaining to the businesses and properties of the Company as may be reasonably requested by PLI and Holder and make available for inspection and copying by Holder true and complete copies of any documents relating to the foregoing. PLI and Holder agree to keep confidential any non-public business information, using the same degree of care as Holder uses with its own non-public business information.

	  	  
	  	
          15.          Miscellaneous.

	  	  
	  	
                       (a)          Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under Paragraph 12. 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 the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

	  	  
	  	
                       (b)          No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date of this Warrant enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holder in this Warrant or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holder hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any such agreements.

	  	  
	  	
                       (c)         Adjustments Affecting Warrant Shares. The Company will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the Warrant Shares which would adversely affect the ability of the Holder of Warrant Shares to include such Warrant Shares in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Warrant.

	  	  
	  	
                       (d)          Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7 hereof, this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders of Warrant Shares.

	  	  
	  	
                       (e)          Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

                    (f)          Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Warrant, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.

	  	  
	  	
                    (g)          Entire Agreement. The provisions of this Warrant are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and are intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein, There are no restrictions, agreements, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein, including with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Warrant Shares.

	  	  
	  	
                    (h)          Headings. The headings of this Warrant have been inserted as a matter of convenience and shall not affect the construction hereof.

	  	  
	  	
                    (i)          Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 

                    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed in its name by its Officer thereunto duly authorized, as of the date of this Warrant, June 12, 2009.
