10. Warrants

In June 2012, we raised $10.5 million before issuance costs of approximately $823,000 through an underwritten public offering of 4.2 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 2.1 million shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.65 per share, a five year term, and are exercisable beginning one year from the date of issuance.

In May 2012, we raised approximately $5.0 million before issuance costs of approximately $71,000 from the sale of 3.3 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1.0 million shares of our common stock to private investors. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.125 per share, a three year term, and are exercisable 60 days from the date of issuance.

In November 2011, we raised approximately $10.5 million, before issuance costs of approximately $925,000, through an underwritten public offering of 2.2 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1.3 million shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $6.24 per share, a five year term, and are exercisable on the date of issuance.

We estimated the fair value of our common stock warrants on the respective grant dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2012 and 2011, respectively: dividend yield of zero percent for both years; expected volatility of 100% and 83%; risk-free interest rates of 0.52% and 1.0% and expected lives of 4 and 5 years, respectively.
