(a)           Each Holder, by acceptance thereof, represents and acknowledges that the offer and sale of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant are not being registered under the Securities Act, that the issuance of this Warrant and the offering and sale of such Warrant Shares are being made in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the representations made by the initial Holder of this Warrant to the Company that such Holder (i) is acquiring this Warrant for investment purposes for its own account, with no present intention of reselling or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act, subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control, (ii) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and (iii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investments made or to be made in connection with the acquisition and exercise of this Warrant.

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. 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.

 

(c)           Each Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that prior to the disposition of this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares, other than pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act, such Holder will give written notice to the Company expressing such Holder’s intention to effect such disposition and describing briefly such Holder’s intention as to the manner in which this Warrant or the Warrant Shares theretofore issued or thereafter issuable upon exercise hereof, are to be disposed together with an opinion of counsel as may be designated by such Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company as to the necessity or non-necessity of registration under the Securities Act. If in the opinion of such counsel, the proposed disposition does not require registration under the Securities Act of the disposition of this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares issuable or issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, such Holder shall be entitled to dispose of this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares theretofore issued upon the exercise hereof, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such Holder to the Company. The Company is entitled to rely on the most recent written notice from the Holder with respect to the ownership of the Warrant.

 

4.           Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

 

(a)           The Company hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Warrant, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Warrant and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly approved by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and (iii) this Warrant has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)           The Company covenants and agrees that (i) during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will have at all times authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide therefore, (ii) the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (iii) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure at its sole expense the listing of all Warrant Shares then registered for public sale (subject to issuance or notice of issuance) on all stock exchanges on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed.

5.           Adjustments of Aggregate Number.

 

(a)           Adjustments. The Aggregate Number, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 5, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows and, thereafter, as adjusted, shall be deemed to be the Aggregate Number hereunder. No adjustments shall be made under this Section 5 as a result of the issuance by the Company of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

(i)           Stock Dividends; Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:

 

(A)           issue to the holders of the Common Stock a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock (a “Stock Dividend”),

 

(B)           subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, by means of a stock split (a “Stock Subdivision”), or

 

(C)           combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Combination”),

 

then the Aggregate Number in effect immediately prior thereto shall be (1) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Combination. In the event the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Stock Dividend in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

 

(ii)           Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the Aggregate Number provided above in this Section 5(a):

 

(A)           Whenever the Aggregate Number is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(a), the Warrant Purchase Price per Warrant Share payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Aggregate Number prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the Aggregate Number following such adjustment.

 

(B)           If the Company shall take a record of the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then 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.

(b)           Changes in Common Stock. In case at any time the Company shall initiate any transaction or be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, liquidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock or other transaction) in connection with which the previous outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Company or securities of another corporation or interests in a non-corporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of the foregoing (each such transaction being herein called a “Transaction”), then, as a condition of the consummation of the Transaction and without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 5(a)(i), lawful, enforceable and adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant at any time on or after the consummation of the Transaction, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the securities or other property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon consummation of the Transaction if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (subject to adjustments from and after the consummation date as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5). The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Transaction. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions.

 

(c)           Notices. Whenever the Aggregate Number is to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the event requiring the adjustment) prepare a certificate signed by the principal executive officer or the principal financial officer of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment is to be calculated. The Company shall keep at its principal office copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of the Warrant (in whole or in part) if so designated by the Holder.

 

6.           Exchange, Replacement and Assignability. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the office of the Company set forth in Section 2, for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as shall be designated by such Holder at the time of such surrender. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of Warrants and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnity letter (reasonably satisfactory to the Company) of an institutional holder of such Warrants, or in other cases, of a bond of indemnity or other security satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender or cancellation of Warrants, the Company will issue to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date, in lieu of this Warrant or such new Warrants, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased hereunder. Subject to compliance with Section 3, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon the books of the Company by the registered Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and new Warrants shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of the transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the appropriate office or agency of the Company. All expenses, taxes (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 6 shall be paid by the Company.

7.           Registration of Warrant. 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 record 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.

 

8.           Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholder services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

 

9.           Transfer Books, No Rights as Shareholder, Survival of Rights. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or any rights as a shareholder of the Company. The rights and obligations of the Company, of the Holder of this Warrant and of any Holder of Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

 

10.           Amendment and Waiver.

 

(a)           It is agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the Holder’s part of any breach or default under this Warrant, or any waiver on the Holder’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Warrant must be in writing.

 

(b)           Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Warrant, any waiver of any provision of this Warrant and any consent to any departure by any party from the terms of any provision of this Warrant shall be effective only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Company and the Holder.

 

(c)           Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 10 is binding upon each future Holder of this Warrant and upon the Company without regard to whether this Warrant has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.

 

11.           Rights of Transferees. Subject to compliance with Section 3, the rights granted to the Holder hereunder of this Warrant shall pass to and inure to the benefit of all subsequent transferees of all or any portion of the Warrant (provided that the Holder and any transferee shall hold such rights in proportion to their respective ownership of the Warrant and Warrant Shares) until extinguished pursuant to the terms hereof.

The Company shall use its reasonable best effortsto effect such registration (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) of the Registrable Securities that the Company has included in such Registration Statement.

 

(b)           If a Piggyback Registration is a primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing placement agent or Underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be registered or underwritten, the Company shall advise all Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Securities based on the Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

 

(c)           If a Piggyback Registration is a primary registration on behalf of any Person other than the Company, and the managing placement agent or Underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be registered or underwritten, the Company shall advise all Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and include in such registration (i) first, securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to demand registration rights by persons other than the Holders, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Securities based on the Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement, and (iii) third, securities requested to be included in such registration by the holders thereof pursuant to registration rights other than demand registration rights.

(a)           Each Holder, by acceptance thereof, represents and acknowledges that the offer and sale of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant are not being registered under the Securities Act, that the issuance of this Warrant and the offering and sale of such Warrant Shares are being made in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the representations made by the initial Holder of this Warrant to the Company that such Holder (i) is acquiring this Warrant for investment purposes for its own account, with no present intention of reselling or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act, subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control, (ii) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and (iii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investments made or to be made in connection with the acquisition and exercise of this Warrant.

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. 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.

 

(c)           Each Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that prior to the disposition of this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares, other than pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act, such Holder will give written notice to the Company expressing such Holder’s intention to effect such disposition and describing briefly such Holder’s intention as to the manner in which this Warrant or the Warrant Shares theretofore issued or thereafter issuable upon exercise hereof, are to be disposed together with an opinion of counsel as may be designated by such Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company as to the necessity or non-necessity of registration under the Securities Act. If in the opinion of such counsel, the proposed disposition does not require registration under the Securities Act of the disposition of this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares issuable or issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, such Holder shall be entitled to dispose of this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares theretofore issued upon the exercise hereof, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such Holder to the Company. The Company is entitled to rely on the most recent written notice from the Holder with respect to the ownership of the Warrant.

4.           Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

(a)           The Company hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Warrant, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Warrant and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly approved by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and (iii) this Warrant has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(b)           The Company covenants and agrees that (i) during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will have at all times authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide therefore, (ii) the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (iii) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure at its sole expense the listing of all Warrant Shares then registered for public sale (subject to issuance or notice of issuance) on all stock exchanges on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed.

5.           Adjustments of Aggregate Number.

(a)           Adjustments. The Aggregate Number, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 5, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows and, thereafter, as adjusted, shall be deemed to be the Aggregate Number hereunder. No adjustments shall be made under this Section 5 as a result of the issuance by the Company of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

(i)           Stock Dividends; Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:

(A)           issue to the holders of the Common Stock a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock (a “Stock Dividend”),

(B)           subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, by means of a stock split (a “Stock Subdivision”), or

(C)           combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Combination”),

then the Aggregate Number in effect immediately prior thereto shall be (1) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Combination. In the event the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Stock Dividend in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

(ii)           Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the Aggregate Number provided above in this Section 5(a):

(A)           Whenever the Aggregate Number is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(a), the Warrant Purchase Price per Warrant Share payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Aggregate Number prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the Aggregate Number following such adjustment.

(B)           If the Company shall take a record of the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then 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.

 

  

6

  

 

(b)           Changes in Common Stock. In case at any time the Company shall initiate any transaction or be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, liquidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock or other transaction) in connection with which the previous outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Company or securities of another corporation or interests in a non-corporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of the foregoing (each such transaction being herein called a “Transaction”), then, as a condition of the consummation of the Transaction and without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 5(a)(i), lawful, enforceable and adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant at any time on or after the consummation of the Transaction, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the securities or other property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon consummation of the Transaction if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (subject to adjustments from and after the consummation date as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5). The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Transaction. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions.

(c)           Notices. Whenever the Aggregate Number is to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the event requiring the adjustment) prepare a certificate signed by the principal executive officer or the principal financial officer of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment is to be calculated. The Company shall keep at its principal office copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of the Warrant (in whole or in part) if so designated by the Holder.

6.           Exchange, Replacement and Assignability. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the office of the Company set forth in Section 2, for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as shall be designated by such Holder at the time of such surrender. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of Warrants and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnity letter (reasonably satisfactory to the Company) of an institutional holder of such Warrants, or in other cases, of a bond of indemnity or other security satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender or cancellation of Warrants, the Company will issue to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date, in lieu of this Warrant or such new Warrants, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased hereunder. Subject to compliance with Section 3, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon the books of the Company by the registered Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and new Warrants shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of the transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the appropriate office or agency of the Company. All expenses, taxes (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 6 shall be paid by the Company.

 

  

7

  

 

7.           Registration of Warrant. 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 record 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.

8.           Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholder services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

9.           Transfer Books, No Rights as Shareholder, Survival of Rights. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or any rights as a shareholder of the Company. The rights and obligations of the Company, of the Holder of this Warrant and of any Holder of Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

10.           Amendment and Waiver.

(a)           It is agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the Holder’s part of any breach or default under this Warrant, or any waiver on the Holder’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Warrant must be in writing.

(b)           Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Warrant, any waiver of any provision of this Warrant and any consent to any departure by any party from the terms of any provision of this Warrant shall be effective only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Company and the Holder.

(c)           Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 10 is binding upon each future Holder of this Warrant and upon the Company without regard to whether this Warrant has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.

11.           Rights of Transferees. Subject to compliance with Section 3, the rights granted to the Holder hereunder of this Warrant shall pass to and inure to the benefit of all subsequent transferees of all or any portion of the Warrant (provided that the Holder and any transferee shall hold such rights in proportion to their respective ownership of the Warrant and Warrant Shares) until extinguished pursuant to the terms hereof.

12.           Piggyback Registration Rights.

The Company shall use its reasonable best effortsto effect such registration (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) of the Registrable Securities that the Company has included in such Registration Statement.

(b)           If a Piggyback Registration is a primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing placement agent or Underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be registered or underwritten, the Company shall advise all Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Securities based on the Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

(c)           If a Piggyback Registration is a primary registration on behalf of any Person other than the Company, and the managing placement agent or Underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be registered or underwritten, the Company shall advise all Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and include in such registration (i) first, securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to demand registration rights by persons other than the Holders, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Securities based on the Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement, and (iii) third, securities requested to be included in such registration by the holders thereof pursuant to registration rights other than demand registration rights.

BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG THE COMPANY AND HOLDER ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS WARRANT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

19.           Entire Agreement. This Warrant contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings with respect thereto.
