ARTICLE I

Exercise Price; Exercise of Warrants and Expiration of Warrants

SECTION 1.01 Exercise Price. This Warrant Certificate shall entitle the Holder hereof, subject to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, to purchase one share of Company Common Stock for each Warrant represented hereby, at the Exercise Price, in each case subject to all adjustments made on or prior to the date of exercise thereof as herein provided.

SECTION 1.02 Exercise of Warrants. The Warrants shall be exercisable in whole or in part from time to time on any Business Day beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on the Expiration Date in the manner provided for herein.

SECTION 1.03 Expiration of Warrants. Any unexercised Warrants shall expire and the rights of the Holder of such Warrants to purchase Company Common Stock shall terminate at the close of business on the Expiration Date.

SECTION 1.04 Method of Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price. (a) In order to exercise a Warrant, the Holder hereof must (i) surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Company, with the Exercise Subscription Form attached hereto as Annex I duly completed and executed, and (ii) unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 1.04(d) below is specified in the applicable Exercise Subscription Form, pay in full the Exercise Price then in effect for the shares of Company Common Stock as to which this Warrant Certificate is submitted for exercise in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 1.04.

(b) Simultaneously with the exercise of each Warrant, payment in full of the Exercise Price shall be delivered to the Company, unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 1.04(d) below is specified in the applicable Exercise Subscription Form. Such payment (if applicable) shall be made in cash, by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.

(c) If fewer than all the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate are surrendered, this Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and for the number of Warrants that were not surrendered shall promptly be executed and delivered to the Person or Persons as may be directed in writing by the Holder (subject to the terms hereof), and the Company shall register any new Warrant Certificate in the name of such Person or Persons. Any new Warrant Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary, either manually or by facsimile signature printed thereon. In case any Officer of the Company whose signature shall have been placed upon any Warrant Certificate shall cease to be such Officer of the Company before issue and delivery thereof, such Warrant Certificate may, nevertheless, be issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though such person had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date and on or before the Expiration Date at the election of the Holder (in such Holder’s sole discretion) by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing ((A-B) * (X)) by (A), where:

(A) = the Closing Sale Price of a share of Company Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Exercise Subscription Form;

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

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

(e) Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to transfer to the Holder appropriate evidence of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the Holder is entitled, registered or otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, such name or names as may be directed in writing by the Holder (subject to the terms hereof), and shall deliver such evidence of ownership and any other securities or property (including cash) to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 2.03. Upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor (or in accordance with the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 1.04(d)), the Holder (or its designee) shall be deemed to own and have all of the rights associated with any Company Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which it is entitled pursuant to this Warrant Certificate upon the surrender of this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Certificate.

SECTION 1.05 Compliance with the Securities Act. (a) No Warrants or shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise thereof may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (any such sale, transfer or other disposition, a “Sale”), except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws, or in a transaction not subject to such laws. The Warrants and the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will have the benefit of certain registration rights under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company on the Issuance Date.

(b) Shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of Warrants under a Warrant Certificate while such Warrant Certificate bears the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant Certificate as of the Issuance Date shall, subject to Section 6.04, be in global form and bear the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

ARTICLE II

Adjustments; Changes upon Certain Other Transactions

SECTION 2.01 Anti-dilution Adjustments. (a) The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price shall be subject to the following adjustments from time to time:

(i) Stock Dividends. In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Company Common Stock in Company Common Stock, the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, as in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive the number of shares of Company Common Stock that the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of the dividend or other distribution, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the date fixed for such determination; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price, as in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution, shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such adjustments shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination.

(ii) Stock Purchase Rights. In case the Company shall issue to all holders of Company Common Stock options, warrants or other rights entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Company Common Stock for a period expiring within 60 days from the date of issuance of such options, warrants or other rights at a price per share of Company Common Stock less than the Market Value on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such options, warrants or other rights (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment, share purchase or similar plan), the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, as in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Company Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, either directly or indirectly, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Company Common Stock which the aggregate consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such options, warrants or other rights (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) would purchase at such Market Value; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Company Common Stock which the aggregate consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such options, warrants or other rights (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) would purchase at such Market Value and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Company Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, either directly or indirectly. Such adjustments shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination; provided, however, that no such adjustments shall be made if the Holder would be entitled to receive such options, warrants or other rights upon exercise at any time of the Warrants; provided, further, however, that if any of the foregoing options, warrants or other rights are only exercisable upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, then no such adjustments shall be made until such Triggering Event occurs or, if earlier, the applicable date of exercise.

(iii) Stock Splits, Reverse Splits and Combinations. In case outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be subdivided, split or reclassified into a greater number of shares of Company Common Stock, then the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date upon which such subdivision, split or reclassification becomes effective shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive the number of shares of Company Common Stock that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such subdivision, split or reclassification becoming effective; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date upon which such subdivision, split or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced. Conversely, in case outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Company Common Stock, then the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive the number of shares of Company Common Stock that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such combination or reclassification becoming effective; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. Such adjustments shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date upon which such subdivision, split, reclassification or combination becomes effective.

(iv) Debt, Asset or Security Distributions. (A) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of Company Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, assets or securities (but excluding any dividend or distribution of options, warrants or other rights referred to in paragraph (ii) of this Section 2.01(a), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, any dividend or distribution of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit in the case of a Spin-off referred to in the next subparagraph, or any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (i) of this Section 2.01(a)), then the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the date fixed for such determination by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Market Value on the date fixed for such determination plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Market Value on the date fixed for such determination; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Market Value on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be such Market Value plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock. Such adjustments shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution. In any case in which this subparagraph (iv)(A) is applicable, subparagraph (iv)(B) of this Section 2.01(a)(iv) shall not be applicable.

(B) In the case of a Spin-off, the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant immediately before the close of business on such date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Market Value plus the Spin-off Market Value of the portion of those shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Market Value; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Market Value and the denominator of which shall be the Market Value plus the Spin-off Market Value of the portion of those shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock. Any adjustments under this subparagraph (iv)(B) will occur on the date that is the earlier of (1) the close of business on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the Spin-off and (2) the date of the Initial Public Offering (if any) of the securities being distributed in the Spin-off, if that Initial Public Offering is effected simultaneously with the Spin-off.

(v) Tender Offers. In the case that a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Company Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended through the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of the Company (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) per share of Company Common Stock that exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Company Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as amended through the expiration thereof), the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to (1) the product of (I) the Market Value on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered or exchanged, not withdrawn and accepted for payment on the date of the Expiration Time (such validly tendered or exchanged shares, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) plus (2) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders of the Company pursuant to the tender or exchange offer (assuming the acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer, of Purchased Shares), and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (1) the Market Value on the date of the Expiration Time and (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the product of (1) the Market Value on the date of the Expiration Time and (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time, and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to (1) the product of (I) the Market Value on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares plus (2) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders of the Company pursuant to the tender or exchange offer (assuming the acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer, of Purchased Shares).

(b) Calculation of Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 2.01 need be made to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant or the Exercise Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall result in an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant or the Exercise Price immediately prior to the making of such adjustment; provided that any such adjustment of less than 1.0% that has not been made shall be made upon any exercise of the Warrants. No adjustment to the Exercise Price under this Section 2.01 shall be made if such adjustment will result in an Exercise Price that is less than the par value of the Company Common Stock. All adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Company Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share) or the nearest $0.0001 (or if there is not a nearest $0.0001 to the next lower $0.0001), as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.01 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single adjustment, shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder; provided, however, that if more than one subsection of this Section 2.01 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment.

(c) Stockholder Rights Plans. Upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent that the Holder receives Company Common Stock, the Holder shall receive, in addition to the shares of Company Common Stock and any cash for fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.03, if any, the rights issued under any future stockholder rights plan the Company may establish whether or not such rights are separated from the Company Common Stock prior to exercise. A distribution of rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plan will not result in an adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii) or Section 2.01(a)(iv), provided that the Company has provided for the Holder to receive such rights upon exercise; provided, further, that the Holders shall not be permitted to receive such rights to the extent that any of the Holders or their respective Affiliates is the “Acquiring Person” under such stockholder rights plan.

(d) Reversal of Adjustment. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of Company Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to stockholders) legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

(e) Exceptions to Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Company Common Stock under any such plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Issuance Date;

(iv) in connection with (A) the issuance of the Warrants or the Preferred Stock to the Holders or their Affiliates pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, (B) the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders upon the exercise of the Warrants or the conversion of the Preferred Stock, or (C) any other transactions contemplated by and consummated in accordance with the Investment Agreement (including the Cash Dividend (as defined in the Investment Agreement) and the reverse stock split of the Common Stock that became effective prior to the Issuance Date (the “Reverse Stock Split”));

(v) for a change in the par value of the Company Common Stock; or

(vi) for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock.

SECTION 2.02 Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes in the Company’s Stock. In the event of any reclassification of outstanding shares of Company 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 and other than the Reverse Stock Split), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person or any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting or surviving Person and that does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding Company Common Stock), or any sale or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (computed on a consolidated basis) (any of the foregoing, a “Transaction”), upon exercise of the Warrants, the Holder will be entitled to receive the kind and amount of securities (of the Company or another issuer), cash and other property receivable upon such Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such Transaction, after giving effect to any adjustment event or, in the event holders of Company Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in any Transaction, the weighted average of the forms and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Company Common Stock, and, prior to or at the effective time of such Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall (and the Company shall cause such successor or purchasing person to) execute with the Holder an amendment to this Agreement providing for such change in the rights to exercise the Warrants. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall become entitled upon exercise to any securities other than, or in addition to, shares of Company Common Stock, thereafter the number or amount of such other securities so receivable upon exercise and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Company Common Stock set forth in this Warrant Certificate.

SECTION 2.03 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Company Common Stock shall be issued to the Holder upon exercise of any Warrant. In lieu of any fraction of a share of Company Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the aggregate number of Warrants exercised by the Holder, the Holder shall have the right to receive an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the Closing Sale Price of a share of Company Common Stock on the Trading Day next preceding the date of exercise.

SECTION 2.04 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Company Common Stock or other stock or property issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall (a) compute such adjustment in accordance with this Article II and prepare and transmit to the Transfer Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the adjustment, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based and (b) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment pursuant to this Article II (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company, the Transfer Agent shall provide a written notice to the holders of Warrants (including the Holder) of the occurrence of such event and a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment was determined and setting forth the adjusted amount.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01 Warrant Transfer Books. (a) The Company shall keep at its principal place of business a register in which the Company shall provide for the registration of Warrant Certificates and of any exchanges of Warrant Certificates as herein provided.

(b) At the option of the Holder, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at such office and upon payment of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Warrant Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver the Warrant Certificates that the Holder is entitled to receive.

(c) All Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for such registration of transfer or exchange.

ARTICLE IV

SECTION 4.01 No Voting Rights. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants, the Holder, in its capacity as such, shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote or to consent with respect to any matter.

ARTICLE V

Covenants

SECTION 5.01 Reservation of Company Common Stock for Issuance on Exercise of Warrants. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights and solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the Warrants as herein provided, out of its authorized but unissued Company Common Stock, such number of shares of Company Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all Warrants issuable hereunder and all other Warrant Certificates. The Company covenants that all shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issuance thereof.

SECTION 5.02 Notice of Dividends. At any time when the Company declares any dividend or other distribution on the Company Common Stock, it shall give notice to the holders of all the then outstanding Warrants (including the Holder) of any such declaration not less than 15 days prior to the related record date for such dividend or distribution.

SECTION 5.03 HSR Act Compliance. If the Holder determines that a notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”), is required in connection with the exercise of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Holder by (a) promptly effecting all necessary notifications and other filings under the HSR Act that are required to be made by the Company and (b) responding as promptly as reasonably practicable to all inquiries or requests received from the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other governmental authority in connection with such notifications and other filings. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.03 shall require that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries commit to any divestiture, license or hold separate or similar arrangement with respect to the business, assets or properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any such notifications and responses by the Company will be in full compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. The Company shall, to the extent legally permissible, keep the Holder reasonably apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ or such other governmental authority. The Company shall pay the filing fees in connection with the above filings, and shall otherwise each bear its costs and expenses in connection with the preparation of such filings and responses to inquires or requests.

SECTION 5.04 Certain Other Events. If any event occurs as to which the provisions of Article II are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not fairly protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith judgment of the Board, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid; provided that no adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.04 if such adjustment would adversely affect the Holder.
