ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS. (a) The Company hereby issues and grants to each Warrantholder warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock in the Subscription Agreement executed by such Warrantholder (collectively, the "Warrants").

Section 2. FORM OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company shall cause to be executed and delivered to each of the Warrantholders one or more certificates evidencing the Warrants (the "Warrant Certificates"). Each Warrant Certificate delivered hereunder shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and may have such letters, numbers or other identification marks and legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of execution by the Company. Section 3. EXECUTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Each Warrant Certificate delivered hereunder shall be signed on behalf of the Company by one (1) officer of the Company. Each such signature may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates. If any officer of the Company who signed any Warrant Certificate ceases to be an officer of the Company before the Warrant Certificate so signed shall have been delivered by the Company, such Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be delivered as though such person had not ceased to be an officer of the Company. Section 1. REGISTRATION. Warrant Certificates shall be issued in registered form only. The Company will keep or cause to be kept books for registration of ownership and transfer of each Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement. Each Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be numbered by the Company and shall be registered by the Company in the name of the holder thereof (initially Warrantholder). The Company may deem and treat the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for the purpose of any exercise thereof and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Section 2. TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES. Transfers. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 5, the Warrants are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants at the office of the Company referred to in Section 14, together with a written assignment in the form of the Assignment appearing at the end of the form of Warrant Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed by the registered holder thereof or its agent or attorney. Upon such surrender, the Company shall, subject to this Section 5, register or cause the registration of the transfer upon the books maintained by or on behalf of the Company for such purpose. If the Warrants evidenced by any Warrant Certificate are to be transferred in whole, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates in the name of the assignee or assignees in the denominations specified in the instrument of assignment. If the Warrants evidenced by any Warrant Certificate are to be transferred in part, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to and in the name of the assignee or assignees in the denominations specified in the instrument of assignment and a new Warrant Certificate to and in the name of the assigning holder in an amount equal to the number of Warrants evidenced by the surrendered Warrant Certificate that were not transferred. Restrictions on Transfer. Unless otherwise consented to by the Company, no Warrant may be sold, pledged, hypothecated, assigned, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of (each, a "transfer") unless (i) the transfer complies with all applicable securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Exchanges. A Warrant Certificate may be exchanged, at the option of the holder thereof, upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate at the office of the Company, for one or more other Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants as was represented by the surrendered Warrant Certificate. Cancellation. Warrant Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the Company. Section 1. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATES. If any Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, upon surrender and cancellation of any mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equal number of Warrants. In the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued by the Company only upon the Company's receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of such loss, theft or destruction and, if requested, an indemnity or bond reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Section 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. (a) Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7, Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part (but not as to any fractional part of a Warrant), at any time or from time to time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Warrant Expiration Date. In order to exercise any Warrant, Warrantholder shall deliver to the Company at its office referred to in Section 14 the following: (i) a written notice in the form of the Election to Purchase appearing at the end of the form of Warrant Certificate attached as Exhibit A hereto of such Warrantholder's election to exercise the Warrants, which notice shall specify the number of such Warrantholder's Warrants being exercised; (ii) the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants being exercised; and (iii) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. All rights of Warrantholder with respect to any Warrant that has not been exercised, on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Warrant Expiration Date shall immediately cease and such Warrants shall be automatically cancelled and void. (b) Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price with respect to Warrants being exercised hereunder shall be made by the payment by the Warrantholder to the Company, in cash, by check or wire transfer, of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrants then being exercised. (c) Payment of Taxes. The Company shall be responsible for paying any and all issue, documentary, stamp or other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of a Warrant, except that, in case such Warrant Shares shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the holder of a Warrant, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes, if any, which shall be payable upon the execution and delivery of such Warrant Shares shall be paid by the holder thereof to the Company at the time an Warrantholder delivers such Warrants to the Company for exercise. (d) Delivery of Warrant Shares. Upon receipt of the items referred to in Section 7(a), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, to or upon the written order of the Warrantholder exercising its Warrants, and in the name of such Warrantholder or such Warrantholder's designee, a share certificate or share certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares to be issued on exercise of the Warrant(s) and enter full details of such issuance in the stock register of the Company in order to confer upon the Warrantholder or the Warrantholder's designee legal title thereto. The share certificate or share certificates issued to such Warrantholder or its designee shall bear any restrictive legend required under applicable law, rule or regulation. The share certificate or share certificates so delivered (and the entry in the stock register) shall be registered or made, as the case may be, in the name of such Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated in said notice. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such share certificate or share certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and such holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date that such notice, together with payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, is received by the Company as aforesaid and the corresponding entries are made in the stock register of the Company. If the Warrants evidenced by any Warrant Certificate are exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the share certificate or share certificates, deliver to the holder thereof a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants that were not exercised or surrendered, which shall in all respects (other than as to the number of Warrants evidenced thereby) be identical to the Warrant Certificate being exercised. Any Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be canceled by the Company. Section 3. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE AND ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. (a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall: (i) pay a dividend, or make any other distribution of, additional shares of Common Stock to all holders of its Common Stock (other than pursuant to the exercise of Warrants), (ii) subdivide 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, then the number of Warrant Shares for which each Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be proportionately increased in the case of (i) and (ii) above and proportionately decreased in the case of (iii) above. (b) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall make any dividend, or any other distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock, of any shares of capital stock of the Company, evidences of indebtedness of the Company, cash or other assets (including rights, warrants, convertible securities or other securities (of the Company or any other Person)), other than any dividend or distribution (i) upon a capital reorganization, reclassification, merger or consolidation to which Section 8(c) applies, or (ii) of any common stock referred to in Section 8(a), then (x) the number of Warrant Shares for which each Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which one Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such distribution by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock at the time of such distribution and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property so distributed. (c) Upon Reclassifications, Reorganizations, Consolidations or Mergers. In the event of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination or reverse split of shares), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), except in the case of a merger or consolidation to which clause (i) of the last sentence of this Section 8(c) applies, each Warrant, effective at the close of business on the date such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger shall become effective, shall thereafter be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property, (including cash) receivable upon the consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable (immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger) upon exercise of such Warrant and otherwise shall have the same terms and conditions applicable immediately prior to such time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, or mergers. The Corporation shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger unless, (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation in which the consideration receivable upon consummation of such merger or consolidation by a holder of shares of Common Stock consists solely of cash, either (x) simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the Corporation shall pay to the Holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants an amount in cash equal to (A) the amount in cash that would be received upon such consummation by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable (immediately prior to such consummation) upon exercise of such Warrants less (B) the Exercise Price or (y) the Exercise Price for any Warrant exceeds the amount in cash that would be so received or (ii) in all other cases, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the holders of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or property, including cash, which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise. (d) Exercise Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares into which a Warrant is exercisable is adjusted as provided in Sections 8(a) and (b), the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Warrant was exercisable immediately thereafter. (e) Notice of Certain Events. Upon the occurrence of any event resulting in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares (or other stock or securities or property) receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly thereafter (i) compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, (ii) prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and (iii) promptly mail copies of such certificate to Warrantholder. Section 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued share capital, the aggregate number of the Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon the due and punctual exercise of the Warrants, through 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Warrant Expiration Date. Section 5. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its organizational documents, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants or this Agreement, and shall 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 in order to protect the rights of Warrantholder under the Warrants and this Agreement against wrongful impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company: (i) shall not set or increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon exercise, and (ii) shall take all actions that are necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants. Section 6. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER. No holder, as such, of any Warrant Certificate shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Shares which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Warrants represented thereby for any purpose whatever, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Warrant Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of Shares, reclassification of Shares, change of par value or change of Shares to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders or to receive dividend or subscription rights, or otherwise, until such Warrant Certificate shall have been exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof and the receipt and collection of the Exercise Price and any other amounts payable upon such exercise by the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Warrantholder to purchase Warrant Shares shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Section 7. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Company, the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional shares of Warrant Shares. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 12, be issuable on the exercise of a Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued by the Company shall be rounded to the nearest whole number, with one-half or greater being rounded up, and less than one-half being rounded down.
