Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 5, 2004, Glowpoint, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-114207) (the “Registration Statement”), relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of shares of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”), preferred stock, warrants and debt securities with a maximum aggregate offering price of $100,000,000. The Registration Statement was declared effective on April 16, 2004.

Subsequently, on March 14, 2005, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with several unrelated institutional investors in connection with the offering of (i) an aggregate of 6,766,667 shares of its Common Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,706,667 shares of its Common Stock (the “Warrants”) and (iii) the shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “Offering”), all of which Common Stock and Warrant Shares are being or will be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Company received proceeds from the sale of these shares and Warrants equal to approximately $10,150,000, less the Company’s expenses relating to the sale, which are estimated to be $760,500, a portion of which represents investment advisory fees which are discussed in more detail below. As noted above, as part of the Offering, the Company issued Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,706,667 shares of its Common Stock. These Warrants are exercisable for a five-year term and have an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The Warrants may be exercised by cash payment of the exercise price or by “cashless exercise.” “Cashless exercise” means that in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price for the shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant in cash, the holder will forfeit a number of shares underlying the Warrant with a market value equal to such aggregate exercise price. Accordingly, the Company will not receive additional proceeds to the extent the Warrants are exercised by cashless exercise.

Burnham Hill Partners, a division of Pali Capital, Inc., has been retained to act as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with potential capital raising activities, including interacting with potential investors regarding pricing and structuring of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants issued in the Offering. The Company agreed to pay to the financial advisor a fee in the amount of $710,500 in connection with the sale of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants issued in the Offering.

The terms of the transaction are more fully set forth in the form of Common Stock Purchase Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Warrants is subject to the terms and conditions of the form of Warrant which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company’s press release dated March 14, 2005, announcing the Offering, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

EX-4.1 2 b405427_ex4-1.txt FORM OF WARRANT. EXHIBIT 4.1 WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF GLOWPOINT, INC. Expires March 14, 2010 No.: W-F-05-___ Number of Shares: ___________ Date of Issuance: March 14, 2005 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, Glowpoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that _______________________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to ____________________________________ (_____________) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof. 1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on March 14, 2005 and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on March 14, 2010 (such period being the "Term"). 2. Method of Exercise Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange. (a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term commencing on September 15, 2005. (b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by "cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 2, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant. (c) Cashless Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula: X = Y - (A)(Y) ------ B Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder. Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised. A = the Warrant Price. B = the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock. (d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise or, at the request of the Holder, issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System ("DWAC") within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall have been canceled in payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer's expense within such time. All shares of Warrant Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant shall be freely tradeable and will not be subject to a restrictive legend on the certificates evidencing such shares. If the certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are not delivered within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2(d) (an "Exercise Default"), the Holder may, upon written notice to the Issuer (an "Exercise Default Notice"), regain on the date of such notice the rights of the Holder under the exercised portion of this Warrant that is the subject of such Exercise Default. In the event of such Exercise Default and delivery of an Exercise Default Notice, the Holder shall retain all of the Holder's rights and remedies with respect to the Issuer's failure to deliver such shares of Warrant Stock. The Holder's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and no right or remedy is exclusive of any other. In addition to the amounts specified herein, the Holder shall have the right to pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual damages for the Issuer's failure to issue and deliver shares of Warrant Stock on the applicable delivery date (including, without limitation, damages relating to any purchase of Common Stock by the Holder to make delivery on a sale effected in anticipation of receiving shares of Warrant Stock upon exercise, such damages to be in an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount paid by the Holder for the Common Stock so purchased minus (B) the aggregate amount of net proceeds, if any, received by the Holder from the sale of the shares of Warrant Stock issued by the Issuer pursuant to such exercise). 2 (e) Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant may be transferred by a Holder by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the name of the Holder or the number of shares of Warrant Stock, as applicable. (f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder. 3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants. (a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant. (b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its reasonable best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer. 3 (c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants in their capacity as Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant. (d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of an affidavit of loss and other evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. 4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(d) or (e) hereof to a price that is less than the Per Share Market Value on the Original Issue Date. (a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding Voting Stock prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the merged or consolidated entity immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (b) sell all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (c) change the Common Stock to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Section 4(b)), or (d) effect a capital reorganization (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Section 4(b)), then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4. The Issuer will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Issuer) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the Issuer are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Section 4 and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire. 4 (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto. (b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall: (i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, (ii) effect a stock split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, 5 then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions. (c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of: (i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer), (ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or (iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. 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 Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) 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 Section 4(b). 6 (d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. (i) Subject to the third sentence of the first paragraph of this Section 4, in the event the Issuer shall, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (b) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. (ii) The provisions of paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) shall not apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section 4(b) or 4(c). No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be made under paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 4(e). (e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. Subject to the third sentence of the first paragraph of this Section 4, if at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d) on the basis that the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding and the Issuer shall have received all of the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents. No further adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made under this Section 4(f) upon the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4(e). 7 (f) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) as the result of any issuance of warrants, other rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock Equivalents, 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 Common Stock Equivalents, 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 for each outstanding Warrant 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. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(f) above, there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or other rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled. (g) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4: (i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer. In case any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Issuer issues any securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board in good faith shall determine to be attributable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents, or any warrants or other rights therefor, as the case may be. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. 8 (ii) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. (iii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share. (iv) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend and shall, thereafter and before the dividend to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, 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. (h) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 5. Notice of Adjustments.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The other Transaction Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company at the Closing. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor's rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application. 2 (c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company and the shares thereof currently issued and outstanding as of March 4, 2005 are set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto.

Except for customary transfer restrictions contained in agreements entered into by the Company in order to sell restricted securities or as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the Company is not a party to any agreement granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities.

The Company covenants and agrees that it shall refrain from disclosing, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to refrain from disclosing, any material non-public information to the Purchaser, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material non-public information and provides the Purchaser and its advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material non-public information for review and consents in writing to receive such material non-public information. Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose material non-public information to the Purchaser or its advisors or representatives. Section 3.9 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Company's Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to the Purchaser via the DWAC (as defined below) system upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.9 (or substantially similar instructions) will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Warrant Shares without the consent of the Purchasers and that the Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. 14 Section 3.10 Subsequent Financings; Right of Participation. (a) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than seven (7) trading days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a "Participation Notice") the Purchasers of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party (a "Subsequent Financing"), of Common Stock or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including convertible debt securities (collectively, the "Financing Securities"). The Participation Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall not be within twenty (20) calendar days from the date the Participation Notice is given nor later than forty five (45) calendar days from the date the Participation Notice is given, including, without limitation, all of the material terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith. The Participation Notice shall provide each Purchaser an option (the "Participation Option") during the seven (7) trading days following delivery of the Participation Notice (the "Option Period") to purchase up to fifty percent (50%) of its Purchase Price for the securities being offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same terms and conditions as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing (the "Participation Rights"). If any Purchaser elects not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis so long as such participation in the aggregate does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the total Purchase Price hereunder. For purposes of this Section, all references to "pro rata" means, for any Purchaser electing to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the total number of Purchased Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing by (y) the total number of Purchased Shares purchased by all of the participating Purchasers at the Closing. Delivery of any Participation Notice constitutes a representation and warranty by the Company that there are no other material terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Participation Notice, to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, additional compensation based on changes in the Purchase Price or any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company does not receive notice of exercise of the Participation Option from any of the Purchasers within the Option Period, the Company shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third party (and, if applicable, with such Purchasers as shall have exercised their Participation Option); provided that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the Purchasers in the Participation Notice. If the closing of the proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur within 60 days from the date the Participation Notice is given, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Section, including, without limitation, the delivery of a new Participation Notice. (b) For a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, the Company covenants and agrees that it will not engage in any Subsequent Financing other than a Permitted Financing (as defined below). 15 (c) For purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Financing shall not be considered a Subsequent Financing. A "Permitted Financing" shall mean (i) the Company's issuance of Common Stock and warrants therefor in connection with a merger and/or acquisition, consolidation, sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or warrants therefor in connection with strategic agreements or investments by strategic investors, (iii) the Company's issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company's stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans as they now exist, (iv) the Company's issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any future stock option plan or employee stock purchase plan which is approved by the Company's Board of Directors or any amendment to the Company's existing stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans which is approved by the Company's Board of Directors so long as such issuances in the aggregate do not exceed 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock, (v) any issuances of securities or Common Stock pursuant to Company 401(k) matches, (vi) any issuances of securities to consultants, financial advisers, public relations consultants or secured lenders to the Company so long as such issuances to such secured lenders do not in the aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof, (vii) the payment of any dividends on the Company Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (viii) securities issued pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company's securities and (ix) the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of any securities described in clauses (i) through (viii) above.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. Section 5.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article V (an "indemnified party") will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article V except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party that relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article V to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law. 19 ARTICLE VI MISCELLANEOUS Section 6.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisors, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses, incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, provided that the Company shall pay, at the Closing all actual attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Purchasers up to $20,000 (exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

(b) Consent to Jurisdiction.

Each of the Company and the Purchasers consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 20 Section 6.3 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company nor any of the Purchasers makes any representations, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters and they supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Purchased Shares then outstanding, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is sought; provided that this Section 6.3 may not be amended or waived other than by a written instrument signed by each holder of the Purchased Shares.
