EXERCISE OF WARRANT

Section 2.01. Method of Exercise.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”), the Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part with respect to any Warrant Shares, at any time and from time to time prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, together with (x) a properly completed and duly executed subscription form, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which subscription form shall specify the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised and the Person to whom the Warrant Shares shall be issued, who may be the Holder or an Affiliate of the Holder, (y) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder in respect of the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, and (z) if applicable, the payment of any transfer taxes required to be paid by the Holder pursuant to Section 2.07. Payment of such aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash, by money order, certified or bank cashier’s check or wire transfer (in each case in lawful currency of the United States of America) or through a “cashless exercise” in the manner provided in Section 2.01(b).

(b) In lieu of making payment in the manner provided in Section 2.01(a) of all or any portion of the aggregate Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised, the Holder may pay all or such portion of such aggregate Exercise Price on a “cashless” basis by electing not to receive all of such Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise but only to receive that number of such Warrant Shares as shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)

Where: X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2.01(b)

= the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised as of the applicable Exercise Date

= the Fair Market Value as of the applicable Exercise Date of a share of Common Stock constituting such Warrant Shares

= the Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares in effect as of the applicable Exercise Date

The Holder may elect to make payment of all or any portion of such aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to, and in the manner set forth in, this Section 2.01(b) by surrendering this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, together with (x) a properly completed and duly executed net

issue exercise election, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, which net issue exercise election shall specify the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised (which shall include the number of Warrant Shares to be surrendered as payment therefor) and the Person to whom the Warrant Shares shall be issued, who may be the Holder or an Affiliate of the Holder, (y) if not already a party thereto, an instrument of accession to the Stockholder Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case, dated as of the Initial Exercise Date, in substantially the form reasonably requested by the Company, and (z) if applicable, the payment of any transfer taxes required to be paid by the Holder pursuant to Section 2.07. For the avoidance of doubt, unless indicated otherwise, references to “exercise” herein shall refer to an exercise of this Warrant under Section 2.01(a) or a net issue exercise under Section 2.01(b).

Section 2.02. Effectiveness of Exercise; Ownership. Each exercise of this Warrant by the Holder shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date upon which all of the requirements of Section 2.01(a) or 2.01(b), as applicable, with respect to such exercise shall have been complied with in full (each such date, an “Exercise Date”). On the applicable Exercise Date with respect to any exercise of this Warrant by the Holder, the Company shall be deemed to have issued to the Holder or its applicable Affiliate, and the Holder or its applicable Affiliate shall be deemed to have become the holder of record and legal owner of, the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or that certificates representing such number of Warrant Shares being purchased may not then be actually delivered to the Holder or its applicable Affiliate.

Section 2.03. Delivery of Stock Certificates on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or its applicable Affiliate, or as the Holder or its applicable Affiliate may direct (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes as required by Section 2.07 and subject to, in all cases, the provisions of Article IX), a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder or its applicable Affiliate on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value.

Section 2.04. Shares To Be Fully Paid and Nonassessable. All Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of all liens, taxes, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (other than those set forth herein, including restrictions under the Stockholder Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement) and free and clear of all preemptive rights and will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

Section 2.05. Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a Warrant Share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder as set forth in Section 2.03.

Section 2.06. Issuance of New Warrants; Company Acknowledgment. Upon any partial exercise or transfer of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, registered in the name of the Holder, and exercisable, in the aggregate, for the balance of the Warrant Shares. Moreover, the Company shall, at the time of any exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant; provided, however, that if the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to the Holder any such rights.

Section 2.07. Payment of Taxes and Expenses. The Holder shall be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and issued in a name other than that of the Holders and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in a name other than that of the Holder.

Section 2.08. Expiration. This Warrant and the Holder’s rights hereunder, to the extent not previously exercised, shall expire as of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

ARTICLE III

ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS

AND COMBINATIONS.

In the event that, at any time and from time to time after the Initial Exercise Date, the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares), (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares), then, in each such event, (x) the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then current Exercise Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) outstanding immediately prior to such event, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect, and (y) the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by increasing or decreasing, as the case may be, the number of shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) included within the Warrant Shares by the percentage increase or decrease in the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) outstanding immediately after such event over the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other applicable Warrant Shares) outstanding immediately prior to such event and the result so obtained shall be the Warrant Shares then in effect. The Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Article III.

Section 4.02. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer (including by exclusive license) of all or substantially all of its properties or assets at any time after the Initial Exercise Date, the Company shall retain for a period of at least sixty (60) days after the effective date of such dissolution the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) (collectively, the “Property”) receivable by the Holder pursuant to Section 4.01 upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the effective date of such dissolution. If the Holder fails to exercise this Warrant within the sixty (60) day period following the effective date of such dissolution, then such Property shall be distributed pro rata to those Persons who were stockholders of record of the Company on the effective date of such dissolution or as otherwise provided by the Company.

Section 4.03. Continuation of Terms. Notwithstanding any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any such transfer) referred to in this Article IV, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities whether or not such Person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS

Section 10.01. Investment Representations.

(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be acquired by the Holder as contemplated hereby are being acquired for the Holder’s own account, for investment, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof or with the present intention of distributing or selling any of such securities. The Holder understands that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, on the ground that the offer and sale of such securities by the Company to the Holder are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction not involving any public offering of such securities. The Holder understands that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the representations of the Holder contained herein.

(b) The Holder understands that it may bear the economic risk of investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be acquired by it hereunder for an indefinite period of time because such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore may not be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

(c) The Holder acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant and each certificate representing Warrant Shares acquired by it hereunder shall bear appropriate restrictive legends referring to the restrictions on transfer applicable to such securities. Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Holder has been furnished with all information and materials it has requested concerning the Company.
