Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 16, 2009, Zoom Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") consummated a transaction with certain
accredited investors (the "Accredited Investors") pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and the
Investors. The Company raised gross proceeds of ten million five thousand dollars ($10,005,000) and issued to the Accredited Investors an
aggregate of (i) 1,241,924 shares of common stock, (ii) 620,969 Series A common stock purchase warrants, (ii) 1,259,326 Series B common
stock purchase warrants, (iii) 629,670 Series C common stock purchase warrants, (iv) 625,313 Series D common stock purchase warrants, and
(v) 625,313 Series E common stock purchase warrants. The Series A, B, C, D and E warrants are collectively referred to as the
"Warrants".
On October 16, 2009, the Company closed on $4,967,696, presenting the purchase price of 1,241,924 shares of common stock at $4.00
per share. The remaining $5,037,304 (representing the amount for the purchase of the Series B warrants at $4.00 per warrant) will be held in
an escrow account of Continental Stock Transfer and Trust, and may only be released to the Company upon the Company obtaining the
approval of the stockholders to issue the common stock underlying the Warrants at a special meeting of stockholders, pursuant to the
requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Exchange. The Company and its two biggest stockholders, Mr. Lei Gu and Mr. Wei Cao, entered into a
voting agreement to approve transaction at the next special meeting of stockholders. In the event that the stockholders do not approve the
transaction by April 16, 2010, the Escrow Agent is required to return such sum to the Accredited Investors.
The Series A, B, and C warrants are exercisable only at such time as approval of the stockholders is obtained at a stockholders meeting.
The Series A and C warrants are exercisable for $6.00 per share of common stock. The Series B warrants are exercisable for $0.01 per share.
The Series D warrants are exercisable for $0.01 per share (i) only after such time as approval of the stockholders is obtained at a stockholders
meeting and (ii) if the Company fails to meet certain performance targets for fiscal year 2009 as follows: If the Company achieves net income
(as defined in the warrant) of at least $5,220,000 for the 2009 fiscal year, then the Series D warrants are not exercisable. If the Company
achieves at least $4,640,000 but less than $5,220,000 of net income for the 2009 fiscal year, then half of the Series D warrants are exercisable.
If the Company achieves net income of less than $4,640,000 for the 2009 fiscal year, then all the Series D warrants are exercisable. The Series
E warrants are exercisable for $0.01 per share (i) only after such time as approval of the stockholders is obtained at a stockholders meeting and
(ii) if the Company fails to meet certain performance targets for fiscal year 2010 as follows: If the Company achieves adjusted net income (as
defined in the warrant) of at least $9,000,000 for the 2010 fiscal year, then the Series E warrants are not be exercisable. If the Company
achieves at least $8,000,000 but less than $9,000,000 in adjusted net income for the 2010 fiscal year, then half of the Series E warrants are
exercisable. If the Company achieves adjusted net income of less than $8,000,000 for the 2010 fiscal year, then all the Series E warrants are
exercisable.
Each of the Warrants may be exercised for cash or cashlessly, and the Series A and C warrants have full-ratchet anti-dilution protection for
the life of the warrant, which is five years. The Series B, D and E warrants have full-ratchet anti-dilution protection for 12 months from the
closing date, and have weighted average price anti-dilution protection for the remaining life of the warrant.
The Company has agreed to register the shares of common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants for resale with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The shares of Common Stock and Warrant were sold and issued to the Accredited Investors pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in a transaction not involving any public offering.
In connection with the private placement, the Company paid commissions to Global Hunters Securities LLC, equaling $380,311
representing 7.66% of the gross proceeds in this closing, and issues 95,078 placement agent warrants, exercisable at $6.00 per share for five
years.

Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor any subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or
otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the
type described in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement
restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary.

incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, with
11
the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary,
except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect and no Proceeding has been initiated in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit
or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations

further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company's stockholders in connection therewith other than in
connection with the Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly
executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding

creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies

Incorporation"), and the Company's Bylaws, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the "Bylaws"),
and the terms of all securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock and the material rights of the
holders thereof in respect thereto. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to
participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the
Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any
holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. No further approval or
authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities.
- SEC Reports; Financial Statements. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1 (i), the Company has
filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the twelve months preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period
as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents
incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the "SEC Reports") or has received a valid
extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(i), as of their respective filing dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as
14
applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(i), the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations
of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with

adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if
there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any

("Material Permits"), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the
Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company has not, from

date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the
Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is unaware of any facts or
circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause failure to maintain the continued listing of the Common Stock on the Trading
Market.
- Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the
Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information.
The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of
the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
- No Integrated Offering.
Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers' representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the
registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on
which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
- No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered

Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its
Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their employees are good. No executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company, is, or is
now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information
agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the
continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to
any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the
failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state

- Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have valid land-use rights to all real property
granted to them by the PRC government and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value
of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the
Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties.

respective businesses and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the "Intellectual Property
Rights"). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property
Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all

action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company's certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or
the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company

(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company's assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital

current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all
20
anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are
required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which
lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year

- The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with
any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, the Company may require the transferor
thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
- The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any Shares,
Warrants and Warrant Shares in substantially the following form:

APPLICABLE, HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION
OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
24
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR
IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO
SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY UNLESS SOLD OR
TRANSFERRED TO A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE 1933 ACT
OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE
UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER
LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
- Certificates evidencing the Shares and the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set
forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is
effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares or
Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with
the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, and without volume or
manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to
the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If any
Warrant is exercised or any Shares are sold at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant
Shares or the Shares, as the case may be, or if such Warrant Shares or Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in
compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, or if such Warrant Shares or Shares may be sold under Rule 144
without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Warrant
Shares or Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant Shares
or Shares, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following (i) the Effective Date, (ii) if such
Warrant Shares or Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information required under Rule 144 as to such Warrant Shares or Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iii) at such
time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later
25
than three Trading Days following the delivery by a
Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares or the Shares, as applicable, issued with a
restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the "Legend Removal Date"), deliver or cause to be delivered to such
Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation
on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for
Warrant Shares and Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the
account of the Purchaser's broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.
- Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such
Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus
delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in
compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates
representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company's reliance upon this understanding.

12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect hereof and file within the applicable grace periods) all

such time that all of the Securities, if a registration statement is not available for the resale of all of the Securities, may be sold without
restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), if the Company shall fail for
any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a "Public Information Failure") then, as partial
relief for the damages to any holder of Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which remedy
shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each such holder an amount in cash
equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of such holder's Securities that cannot be sold resulting directly from such
Public Information Failure on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty
days) thereafter until the earlier
26
of (i) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no
longer required pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(n) are referred to

respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or
sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to
the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or

unaware of any of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company from complying with its current public information requirement
set forth in Rule 144(c) in the foreseeable future and (ii) thirty (30) days after the date when a Registration Statement is effective, covering the
resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) (the "Trigger Date"), the Company will
not, directly or indirectly, file any registration statement with the SEC other than the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement). From the date hereof until the Trigger Date, the Company will not, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to
purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its
Subsidiaries' equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is,
at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a "Subsequent
Placement") or (ii) be party to any solicitations, negotiations or discussions with regard to the foregoing.
- From the Trigger Date until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will not, directly or
indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4.11.
- The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser an irrevocable written notice (the "Offer Notice") of any proposed or
intended issuance or sale or exchange (the "Offer") of the securities being offered (the "Offered Securities") in a
Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms
upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged,
(y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged
and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Purchasers all of the Offered Securities, allocated among such Purchasers (a) based
on such Purchaser's pro rata portion of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder (the "Basic
Amount"), and (b) with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered
Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other
Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription Amount"), which process shall
30
be repeated once until the Purchasers shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
- To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth
(5th) Business Day after such Purchaser's receipt of the Offer Notice (the "Offer Period"), setting forth the portion of
such Purchaser's Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount,
the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the "Notice of Acceptance"). If the
Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Purchaser who has set forth an
Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the
Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for
exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the "Available Undersubscription
Amount"), each Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the
Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have
subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer
prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to the Purchasers a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on
the third (3rd) Business Day after such Purchaser's receipt of such new Offer Notice.
- The Company shall have fourteen (14) calendar days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or
any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchasers (the "Refused
Securities") pursuant to a definitive agreement (the "Subsequent Placement Agreement") but only to the offerees described in
the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that
are not more favorable to the acquiring person or persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) to
publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be
filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein
filed as exhibits thereto.
- In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms
specified in Section 4.11(c)(ii) above), then each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of
the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the
31
Offered Securities that such Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.11(c)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which
shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities
to be issued or sold to Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.11(c)(ii) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the
original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities
specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered
Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.11(c)(ii) above.
- Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Purchasers shall acquire from the
Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of
Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to 4.11(c)(ii) above if the Purchasers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.
The purchase by the Purchasers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company
and the Purchasers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Purchasers and their respective counsel.
- Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Purchasers or other persons in accordance with Section 4.11(c)(ii) above may not be issued,
sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Purchasers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
- The Company and the Purchasers agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement
Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the "Subsequent Placement
Documents") shall include any term or provisions whereby any Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to
any securities of the Company owned by such Purchaser prior to such Subsequent Placement.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11 and unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchasers, the Company shall
either confirm in writing to the Purchasers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall

against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in
the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction

5.11 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the
delivery of the Securities.
5.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party
and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a ".pdf" format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or
".pdf" signature page were an original thereof.
5.13 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that
contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they
would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter
declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the

satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances
shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement
Securities.
5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including
recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.
The parties agree that
35
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations
contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such
obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser
pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any
other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full
force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under
any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any
way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any
way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement
or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the
Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to
communicate with the Company through Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP. Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP does not represent
any of the Purchasers and only represents Global Hunters Securities LLC. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the
same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any
of the Purchasers.
5.18 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the
expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.19 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had
an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any
36
amendments hereto. In
addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment
for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of this Agreement.
5.20 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION
BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND

conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after October 15, 2009, (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior to
the close of business on the 5 year anniversary of the Issue Date (the "Termination Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for
and purchase from Zoom Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), up to ______ shares (the
"Warrant Shares") of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal
to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). Except as otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the
meanings set forth in Section 6.
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated October 14, 2009 (the
"Subscription Date"), among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
1
Section 2. Exercise.
- Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or
in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other
office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the
books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) Trading Days of the
date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the
shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares
available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for
cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding
number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and
the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall
deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or
discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee,
by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of
the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount
stated on the face hereof.
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $6.00,
subject to adjustment hereunder (the "Exercise Price").
Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised by means of a "cashless exercise" in
which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by
(A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by
means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
2
- Mechanics of Exercise.
- Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by
the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is
an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the
shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery
to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the
Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth
above (such date, the "Warrant Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date
on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and 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 the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes (other than transfer taxes) required to be
paid by the Holder.
- Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing
Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
- No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the
Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
- Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to
the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder
3
or in such name or names as may be directed by the
Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of
the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the
Holder.
- Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right
to rescind such exercise.
- Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other
rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing
the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its
broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "Buy-
In"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of
Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell
order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and
equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common
Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the
Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right
to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation,
4
a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Holder's Exercise Limitations.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall
not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a
group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined
below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates
shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion
of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of
any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the
Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules
required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e)(i) applies, the determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder's
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to
verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this
Section 2(e)(i), in
5
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more
recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm
orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the
Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial
Ownership Limitation" shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may decrease or, upon not less than 61 days' prior
notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e)(i). Any such increase will not be effective
until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof)
which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements
necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.
(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant and no Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would
exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of the all the Warrants issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement (the "SPA Warrants") or otherwise without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of
any applicable Eligible Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the
approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such
amount. Until such is obtained, no Purchaser shall be issued in the aggregate upon exercise of any SPA Warrants, shares of Common Stock in
an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common
Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the Issue Date and the denominator of
which is the aggregate number of
6
shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement on the Issue Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the "Exchange Cap Allocation"). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell
or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser's Exchange
Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation
allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of SPA Warrants shall exercise all of such holder's SPA Warrants into a number of
shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder's
Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange
Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of SPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA
Warrants then held by each such holder.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
- Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain
unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
- Dilutive Issuances. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall sell or grant any option to
purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or
other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price
per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the "Base Share Price" and such issuances collectively, a
"Dilutive Issuance") (if the holder of the Common Stock or
7
Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by
operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants,
options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price
per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the
Dilutive Issuance), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the
Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made under this Section 3(b) with
respect to any Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the issuance of
any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset
price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the "Dilutive Issuance Notice"). For purposes of
clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive
Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price
regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. For purposes of the adjusted Exercise Price
under this Section 3(b), the following shall be applicable:
- Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Base Share Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For
purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting
or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise
of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares
of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
- Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than
the Base Share Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
8
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at
the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii), the "lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof" shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or
sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Exercise
Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(b), no further adjustment of the Exercise
Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
- Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or
decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of
issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or
Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iii) shall be made if such adjustment would
result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.
- Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of
other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by
the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be
the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except
where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the
Closing Sale Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the
owners of the non-
9
surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor
will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded
securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days
after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within
five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company
and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
- Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or
(B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the
date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making
of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
- Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue
rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon
exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or
warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights, options or warrants.
- Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all
holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case
the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned
10
above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record
date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the
Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to
the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common
Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date
mentioned above.
- Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction
occurs, then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate
Consideration") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the
exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to
such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in
the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted or
listed for trading on a national securities exchange assumes this Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded
Common Stock of such Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the
Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five Business Days after such
request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining
unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any Successor Entity in a
Fundamental Transaction to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder
and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this
Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written
11
instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity
(or its Parent Entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price
hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of
protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed
to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and
power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the
same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
- Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of
a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
- Notice to Holder.
- Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
- Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in
whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any
reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or
(E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company
12
shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least
20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on
which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities,
cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to
mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The
Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
- Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in
Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its
designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its
agent or attorney. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the
name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall
issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The
Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new
Warrant issued.
- New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at
the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the
13
Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as of the original Issue Date and shall
be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
- Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company
for that purpose (the "Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
- Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii)
eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions
of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
- Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is
acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof (other than upon a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c)), will acquire the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
- No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
- Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant
Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not
include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
- Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration
of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding Business Day.
14
- Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock 130% of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under
this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock
may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the
issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without
limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary 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 Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not
increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par
value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations
under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be
necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
15
- Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
- Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant,
if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.
- Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on
the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that
all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant,
which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and
expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
- Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder
by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
- Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this
Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the
purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
- Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery
of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
- Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations
evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and
permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and
shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
- Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written
consent of the Company and the Required Holders.
16
- Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Warrant.

purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
ZOOm TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
|
Warrant Shares: _______
|
Issue Date: October 15, 2009
|
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant") certifies that, for value received,
_____________ (the "Holder") is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date on which Zoom Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules and regulations of The NASDAQ
Capital Market (or any successor entity) (the "Required Approvals") with respect to the issuance of any shares of common
stock of the in excess of 19.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on the Issue Date, (the "Initial Exercise
Date") and on or prior to the close of business on the three (3) month anniversary of the Issue Date; provided,
however, that if the Holder is unable to exercise this Warrant in full because of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below)
set forth in Section 2(e)(i) of this Warrant or because of the Exchange Cap (as defined below) limitation set forth in Section 2(e)(ii), such date
shall be extended indefinitely until the Holder can exercise this Warrant in full without breaching the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or the
Exchange Cap limitation(the "Termination Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from the
"Company, up to ______ shares (the "Warrant Shares") of Common Stock. The purchase price of one
share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). Except as otherwise defined
herein, the capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 6.
1
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated October 14, 2009
(the "Subscription Date"), among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
- Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole
or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing
on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) Trading
Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises
of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering
the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.
The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The
Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of
any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the
purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time
may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
$0.01, subject to adjustment hereunder (the "Exercise Price").
Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised by means of a "cashless exercise" in
which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)]
by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
2
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
- Mechanics of Exercise.
- Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either
(A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder
or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by
physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of
(A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the "Warrant Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to
have been issued, and 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 the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes
(other than transfer taxes) required to be paid by the Holder.
- Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares
called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
- No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
3
- Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes
and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may
be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name
other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto
duly executed by the Holder.
- Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate
or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have
the right to rescind such exercise.
- Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other
rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is
required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either
reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery
obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with
respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000,
under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to
4
pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the
Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of
the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Holder's Exercise Limitations.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a
Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to
such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other
Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it
being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the
limitation contained in this Section 2(e)(i) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned
by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and
the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to
other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to
the Beneficial Ownership
5
Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In
addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), in determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company's most
recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or
(C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its
Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership
Limitation" shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may decrease or, upon not less than 61 days' prior notice to
the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e)(i). Any such increase will not be effective until
the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion
hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Warrant.
(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant and no Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock if the issuance of such shares of Common
Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of the all the Warrants issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the "SPA Warrants") or otherwise without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules
or regulations of any applicable Eligible Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the
Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common
Stock in excess of such amount. Until such approval is obtained, no Purchaser shall be issued in the aggregate upon exercise of
6
any SPA Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement on the Issue Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA
Warrants issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the Issue Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the
"Exchange Cap Allocation"). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's SPA Warrants,
the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence
shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any
holder of SPA Warrants shall exercise all of such holder's SPA Warrants into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is
less than such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of
shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining
holders of SPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants then held by each
such holder.
- Put Option. In the event that the Company fails to obtain the Required Approvals within 120 days of the
Issue Date, the Holder shall have the right and option (the "Put Option"), exercisable at any time after the 120th day
following the Issue Date and until date the Required Approvals are attained, to require the Company to redeem and purchase any or all
Warrant Shares, for a cash purchase price of $4.00 per Warrant Share.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
- Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company
upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by
way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that
7
the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall
remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
- Dilutive Issuances. From the period commencing from the Issue Date and ending on the date that is 12
months from the Issue Date, if the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant
any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less
than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the "Base Share Price" and such issuances collectively, a
"Dilutive Issuance") (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time,
whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to
warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an
effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price
on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the
number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into
account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. In the event the Company
or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall make any Dilutive Issuance following the date that is twelve months from the Issue Date, then
the Exercise Price then in effect shall be multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of
shares of outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock issued in a Dilutive Issuance plus (y)
the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration price per share paid for the
total number of such shares of Common Stock issued in a Dilutive Issuance so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the
Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock
immediately after the issuance of such shares of Common Stock issued in a Dilutive Issuance. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made under this Section
3(b) with respect to any Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or
applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the "Dilutive Issuance
Notice"). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section
3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of
Warrant Shares based upon the Base
8
Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of
Exercise. For purposes of the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 3(b), the following shall be applicable:
- Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Base Share Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such
price per share. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option"
shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share
of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon
the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
- Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible
Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof
is less than the Base Share Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section
3(b)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof" shall
be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of
Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security.
No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is
made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section
3(b), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
- Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which
any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any
time, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the
9
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for
such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the
time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section
3(b)(iii) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of
Warrant Shares.
- Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale
of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such
Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will
be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such
consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by
the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity
as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration
other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to
reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of
such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent,
reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding
upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
- Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to
be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or
the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
10
- Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue
rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights,
options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of
shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration
payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
- Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to
all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such
case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date
mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such
record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share
of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement
provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share
of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above.
- Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction
occurs, then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate
Consideration") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
11
Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the
exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the
Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose
stock is quoted or listed for trading on a national securities exchange assumes this Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the
publicly traded Common Stock of such Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental
Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five Business
Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes
Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any
Successor Entity in a Fundamental Transaction to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and
shall, at the option of the holder of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced
by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of
capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its Parent Entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise
price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of
Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of
such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental
Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to
the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company
herein.
12
- Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest
1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and
outstanding.
- Notice to Holder.
- Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
- Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution
in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the
Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant
Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or
warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes,
or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such
notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the
period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly
set forth herein.
13
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
- Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in
Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or
its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
or its agent or attorney. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of
assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall
promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of
Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
- New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in
such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to
be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as of the original Issue
Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
- Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the "Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or
any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
- Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or
(ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply
with the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
14
- Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is
acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof (other than upon a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c)), will acquire the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
- No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
- Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the
Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or
stock certificate.
- Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the
expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
- Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock 130% of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such
Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading
Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the
exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
15
Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and
payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including,
without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary 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 Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to
such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be
necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
- Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
- Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal
securities laws.
- Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder
on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the
fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of
this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
16
- Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the
Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
- Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise
this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of
Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or
by creditors of the Company.
- Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to
waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
- Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
- Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written
consent of the Company and the Required Holders.
- Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the
remaining provisions of this Warrant.
- Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for
any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
ZOOm TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
|
Warrant Shares: _______
|
Issue Date: October 15, 2009
|
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant") certifies that, for value received,
_____________ (the "Holder") is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date that the Series B Warrants are exercisable, (the "Initial Exercise
Date") and on or prior to the close of business on the 5 year anniversary of the Issue Date (the "Termination
Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Zoom Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), up to ______ shares (the "Warrant Shares") of Common Stock. The purchase price of
one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). Except as otherwise defined
herein, the capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 6.
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated October 14, 2009
(the "Subscription Date"), among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
2
Section 2. Exercise.
- Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole
or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing
on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) Trading
Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises
of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering
the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.
The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The
Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of
any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the
purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time
may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
- Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
$6.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the "Exercise Price").
- Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised by means of a "cashless exercise" in
which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)]
by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
2
- Mechanics of Exercise.
- Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either
(A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder
or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by
physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of
(A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the "Warrant Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to
have been issued, and 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 the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes
(other than transfer taxes) required to be paid by the Holder.
- Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares
called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
- No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
- Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes
and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder
3
or in such name or names as may
be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name
other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto
duly executed by the Holder.
- Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate
or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have
the right to rescind such exercise.
- Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other
rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is
required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either
reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery
obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with
respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000,
under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the
Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of
the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation,
4
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Holder's Exercise Limitations.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder
shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such
issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other
Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it
being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the
limitation contained in this Section 2(e)(i) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned
by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and
the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to
other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In
addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), in
5
determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company's most
recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or
(C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its
Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership
Limitation" shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may decrease or, upon not less than 61 days' prior notice to
the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e)(i). Any such increase will not be effective until
the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion
hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Warrant.
(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant and no Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock if the issuance of such shares of Common
Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of the all the Warrants issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the "SPA Warrants") or otherwise without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules
or regulations of any applicable Eligible Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the
Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common
Stock in excess of such amount. Until such is obtained, no Purchaser shall be issued in the aggregate upon exercise of any SPA Warrants,
shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total number of shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the
Issue Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of
6
shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to the
Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the Issue Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the "Exchange Cap Allocation").
In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro
rata portion of such Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect
to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of SPA Warrants shall exercise all of
such holder's SPA Warrants into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder's Exchange Cap
Allocation, then the difference between such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to
such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of SPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in
proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants then held by each such holder.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
- Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company
upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by
way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall
remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
- Dilutive Issuances. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall sell or grant any option
to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase
or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an
effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the "Base Share Price" and such issuances
collectively, a "Dilutive Issuance") (if the holder of the Common Stock or
7
Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at
any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise,
or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common
Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the
Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share
Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder,
after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustments shall be made under this Section 3(b) with respect to any Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no
later than three (3) Trading Days following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b),
indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such
notice, the "Dilutive Issuance Notice"). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive
Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder
is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the
Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. For purposes of the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 3(b), the following shall be
applicable:
- Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Base Share Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such
price per share. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option"
shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share
of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon
the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
- Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible
Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof
is less than the Base Share Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
8
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section
3(b)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof" shall
be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of
Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security.
No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is
made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section
3(b), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
- Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which
any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any
time, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise
Price and the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for
such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the
time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section
3(b)(iii) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of
Warrant Shares.
- Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale
of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such
Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will
be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such
consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by
the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-
9
surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity
as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration
other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to
reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of
such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent,
reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding
upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
- Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to
be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or
the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
- Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue
rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights,
options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of
shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration
payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
- Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to
all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such
case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned
10
above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such
record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share
of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement
provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share
of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above.
- Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction
occurs, then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate
Consideration") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the
exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the
Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose
stock is quoted or listed for trading on a national securities exchange assumes this Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the
publicly traded Common Stock of such Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental
Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five Business
Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes
Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any
Successor Entity in a Fundamental Transaction to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and
shall, at the option of the holder of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written
11
instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of
capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its Parent Entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise
price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of
Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of
such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental
Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to
the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company
herein.
- Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest
1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and
outstanding.
- Notice to Holder.
- Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
- Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution
in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the
Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then, in each case, the Company
12
shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant
Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or
warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes,
or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such
notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the
period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly
set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
- Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in
Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or
its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
or its agent or attorney. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of
assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall
promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of
Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
- New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in
such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the
13
Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as of the original Issue
Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
- Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the "Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or
any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
- Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or
(ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply
with the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
- Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is
acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof (other than upon a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c)), will acquire the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
- No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
- Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the
Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or
stock certificate.
- Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the
expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
14
- Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock 130% of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such
Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading
Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the
exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and
payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including,
without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary 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 Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to
such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be
necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
15
- Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
- Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal
securities laws.
- Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder
on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the
fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of
this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
- Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the
Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
- Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise
this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of
Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or
by creditors of the Company.
- Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to
waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
- Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
- Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written
consent of the Company and the Required Holders.
16
- Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the
remaining provisions of this Warrant.

any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant") certifies that, for value received,
_____________ (the "Holder") is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof, (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior to the close of
business on the three (3) month anniversary of the date the Maximum Eligibility Number (as defined in Section 6) is increased; provided,
however, that if the Holder is unable to exercise this Warrant in full because of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) set
forth in Section 2(e)(i) of this Warrant or because of the Exchange Cap (as defined below) limitation set forth in Section 2(e)(ii), such date shall be
extended indefinitely until the Holder can exercise this Warrant in full without breaching the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or the Exchange Cap
limitation (the "Termination Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Zoom Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), up to [ ]1 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of Common Stock. The
purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). Except as

meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated October 14, 2009 (the
"Subscription Date"), among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
- Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or
in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other
office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the
books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) Trading Days of the
date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the
shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares
available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for
cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding

deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or

by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of
the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount
stated on the face hereof.
- Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.01,
subject to adjustment hereunder (the "Exercise Price").
- Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised by means of a "cashless exercise" in
which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by
(A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
2
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by
means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
- Mechanics of Exercise.
- Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by
the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is
an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the
shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery
to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the
Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth
above (such date, the "Warrant Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date
on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and 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 the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes (other than transfer taxes) required to be
paid by the Holder.
- Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing
Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
- No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the
Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
3
- Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to
the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the
Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of
the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the
Holder.
- Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right
to rescind such exercise.
- Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other
rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing
the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its
broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"),
then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of
Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell
order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and
equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an
4
attempted exercise of shares of Common
Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the
Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right
to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Holder's Exercise Limitations.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a
Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to
such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder
that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is
solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e)(i)
applies, the determination of whether this
5
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be
deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with
any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company
shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as
contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or
the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the
Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or
exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership Limitation" shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
The Holder may decrease or, upon not less than 61 days' prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 2(e)(i). Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 2(e)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership
Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations
contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant and no Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would
exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of the all the Warrants issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement (the "SPA Warrants") or otherwise without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of
any applicable Eligible Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the
approval of its stockholders as required by
6
the applicable rules of the Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such
amount. Until such approval is obtained, no Purchaser shall be issued in the aggregate upon exercise of any SPA Warrants, shares of Common
Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of
Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the Issue Date and the
denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement on the Issue Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the "Exchange Cap Allocation"). In the event that any
Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such
Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the
Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of SPA Warrants shall exercise all of such holder's SPA
Warrants into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the
difference between such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be
allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of SPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of
Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants then held by each such holder.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
- Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain
unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
7
- Dilutive Issuances. From the period commencing from the Issue Date and ending on the date that is 12
months from the Issue Date, if the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any
right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then
Exercise Price (such lower price, the "Base Share Price" and such issuances collectively, a "Dilutive
Issuance") (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of
purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights
per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is
less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive
Issuance), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable
hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise
Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. In the event the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable,
shall make any Dilutive Issuance following the date that is twelve months from the Issue Date, then the Exercise Price then in effect shall be
multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock immediately
prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock issued in a Dilutive Issuance plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to
the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration price per share paid for the total number of such shares of Common Stock issued in a
Dilutive Issuance so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) the denominator of which shall
be equal to the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock immediately after the issuance of such shares of Common Stock issued in a
Dilutive Issuance. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no adjustments shall be made under this Section 3(b) with respect to any Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in
writing, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section
3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such
notice, the "Dilutive Issuance Notice"). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance
Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to
receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price
in the Notice of Exercise. For purposes of the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 3(b), the following shall be applicable:
- Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Base Share Price,
8
then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For
purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting
or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise
of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares
of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
- Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than
the Base Share Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at
the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii), the "lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof" shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or
sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Exercise
Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(b), no further adjustment of the Exercise
Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
- Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or
decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of
issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible
9
Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iii) shall be made if such adjustment would
result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.
- Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of
other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by
the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be
the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except
where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the
Closing Sale Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the
owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor
will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded
securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days
after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within
five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company
and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
- Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or
(B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the
date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making
of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
- Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue
rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the
10
denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon
exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or
warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights, options or warrants.
- Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all
holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case
the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date
mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record
date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the
Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to
the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common
Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date
mentioned above.
- Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction
occurs, then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate
Consideration") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the
exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to
such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
11
Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in
the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted or
listed for trading on a national securities exchange assumes this Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded
Common Stock of such Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the
Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five Business Days after such
request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining
unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any Successor Entity in a
Fundamental Transaction to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder
and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this
Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity
(or its Parent Entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price
hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of
protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed
to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and
power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the
same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
- Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of
a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
12
- Notice to Holder.
- Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
- Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in
whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any
reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or
(E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each
case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least
20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on
which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities,
cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to
mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The
Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
13
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
- Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in
Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its
designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its
agent or attorney. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the
name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall
issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The
Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new
Warrant issued.
- New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at
the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as of the original Issue Date and shall
be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
- Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company
for that purpose (the "Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
- Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii)
eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions
of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
- Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is
acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof (other than upon a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c)), will acquire the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.
- No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
- Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant
Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not
include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
- Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration
of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding Business Day.
- Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock 130% of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under
this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock
may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the
issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
15
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without
limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary 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 Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not
increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par
value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations
under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be
necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
- Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
- Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant,
if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.
- Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on
the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that
all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant,
which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and
expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
- Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder
by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
16
- Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this
Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the
purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
- Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery
of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
- Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations
evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and
permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and
shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
- Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written
consent of the Company and the Required Holders.
- Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Warrant.

purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Warrant Shares: _______

Issue Date: October 15, 2009
|
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant") certifies that, for value received,
_____________ (the "Holder") is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof, (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior to the close of
business on the three (3) month anniversary of the date the Maximum Eligibility Number (as defined in Section 6) is increased;
provided, however, that if the Holder is unable to exercise this Warrant in full because of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
(as defined below) set forth in Section 2(e)(i) of this Warrant or because of the Exchange Cap (as defined below) limitation set forth in Section
2(e)(ii), such date shall be extended indefinitely until the Holder can exercise this Warrant in full without breaching the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation or the Exchange Cap limitation (the "Termination Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from
Zoom Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), up to [ ]1 shares (the "Warrant
Shares") of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise
Price, as defined in Section 2(b). Except as otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in
Section 6. Notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant to the contrary, no more than the Maximum Eligibility Number of Warrant Shares
shall be exercisable hereunder.
____________________________
1 Insert Holder'a pro rata share of [625,313].

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated October 14, 2009
(the "Subscription Date"), among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
- Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole
or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing
on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) Trading
Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of
this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The
Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of any
dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and
any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase
of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less
than the amount stated on the face hereof.
- Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.01,
subject to adjustment hereunder (the "Exercise Price").
- Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised by means of a "cashless exercise" in
which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)]
by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
2
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant
by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
- Mechanics of Exercise.
- Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is
an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the
shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical
delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price as set forth above (such date, the "Warrant Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have
been issued, and 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 the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes (other
than transfer taxes) required to be paid by the Holder.
- Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing
Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
- No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise,
the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
3
- Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge
to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be
directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other
than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder.
- Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate
or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the
right to rescind such exercise.
- Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other
rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is
required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either
reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery
obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with
respect to an
4
attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000,
under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the
Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of
the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
- Holder's Exercise Limitations.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a
Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to
such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise
of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of
the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or
any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged
by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 2(e)(i) applies, the determination of whether this
5
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of
a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities
owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company's most recent
periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more
recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the
written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which
such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership Limitation" shall be 4.99%
of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may decrease or, upon not less than 61 days' prior notice to the Company, may increase the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e)(i). Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after
such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with
the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of this Warrant and no Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock
would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of the all the Warrants issued pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement (the "SPA Warrants") or otherwise without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or
regulations of any applicable Eligible Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the
Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by
6
the applicable rules of the Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common
Stock in excess of such amount. Until such approval is obtained, no Purchaser shall be issued in the aggregate upon exercise of any SPA
Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on
the Issue Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to the
Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the Issue Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the "Exchange Cap Allocation").
In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro
rata portion of such Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect
to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of SPA Warrants shall exercise all of
such holder's SPA Warrants into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder's Exchange Cap
Allocation, then the difference between such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to
such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of SPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in
proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants then held by each such holder.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
- Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company
upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by
way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall
remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
7
- Dilutive Issuances. From the period commencing from the Issue Date and ending on the date that is 12
months from the Issue Date, if the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant
any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less
than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the "Base Share Price" and such issuances collectively, a
"Dilutive Issuance") (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether
by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants,
options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective
price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such
date of the Dilutive Issuance), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the
decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. In the event the Company or any
Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall make any Dilutive Issuance following the date that is twelve months from the Issue Date, then the
Exercise Price then in effect shall be multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of
outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock issued in a Dilutive Issuance plus (y) the
number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration price per share paid for the total
number of such shares of Common Stock issued in a Dilutive Issuance so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Exercise
Price then in effect and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock immediately after the
issuance of such shares of Common Stock issued in a Dilutive Issuance. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made under this Section 3(b) with respect to
any Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the issuance of any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset
price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the "Dilutive Issuance Notice"). For purposes
of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any
Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base
Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. For purposes of the adjusted
Exercise Price under this Section 3(b), the following shall be applicable:
- Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Base Share Price,
8
then such share of Common Stock shall be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price
per share. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of
such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option" shall be
equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of
Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon
the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
- Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible
Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof
is less than the Base Share Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section
3(b)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof" shall
be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of
Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security.
No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is
made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section
3(b), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
- Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and
the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such
increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as
of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible
9
Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iii) shall be made if such
adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.
- Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of
other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options
by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to
be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for
a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except
where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the
Closing Sale Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the
owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration
therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such
shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly
traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten
(10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be
determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent
manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
- Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or
(B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be
the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the
making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
- Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue
rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the
10
denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights,
options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of
shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration
payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights, options or warrants.
- Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all
holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such
case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date
mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record
date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the
Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided
to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common
Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date
mentioned above.
- Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction
occurs, then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate
Consideration") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the
exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to
such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
11
Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is
quoted or listed for trading on a national securities exchange assumes this Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly
traded Common Stock of such Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction,
the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five Business Days after
such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any Successor Entity in
a Fundamental Transaction to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of
this Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor
Entity (or its Parent Entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to
any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise
price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such
Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being
for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and
which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may
exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
- Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th
of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding
as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and
outstanding.
12
- Notice to Holder.
- Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
- Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in
whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of
the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant
Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or
warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected
to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange
their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity
of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the
Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period
commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
herein.
13
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
- Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in
Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its
designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its
agent or attorney. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment,
and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be
cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares
without having a new Warrant issued.
- New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at
the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be
divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as of the original Issue Date
and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
- Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the "Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any
distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
- Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or
(ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply
with the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
- Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is
acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof (other than upon a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c)), will acquire the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act.
14
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
- No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
- Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the
Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or
stock certificate.
- Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the
expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on
the next succeeding Business Day.
- Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock 130% of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant
Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market
upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such
Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issue).
15
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including,
without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary 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 Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to
such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be
necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
- Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
- Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal
securities laws.
- Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on
the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact
that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this
Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in
collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
- Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the
Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
16
- Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise
this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder
for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by
creditors of the Company.
- Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to
waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
- Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations
evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors
and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant
and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
- Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written
consent of the Company and the Required Holders.
- Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such

- Registration.
- Initial Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than the Initial Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the
Initial Registrable Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is
available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(e). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the
SEC. The Initial Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Selling
Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The
Company shall use its best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no

Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales
pursuant to such Initial Registration Statement.

- Additional Mandatory Registrations. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no
event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all
of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff
of the SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the
Company shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the
maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with
the SEC. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a
registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Each
Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the
SEC. Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Selling
Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The
Company shall use its best efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but
in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Additional
Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in
connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.
- Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any
Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the
Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial
number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise
transfers any of such Investor's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration
Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors
which are covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities
on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.
- Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select one
legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 ("Legal Counsel"), which shall be Schulte Roth
& Zabel LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall
reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company's obligations under this Agreement.
4
- Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of
Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form
reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is
available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
- Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under a
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be
covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor's allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(c), the
Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if
applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the
filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15)
days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of
shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities" if at any time the
number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying
(i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without
regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants and such calculation shall assume that the Warrants are then exercisable for shares of
Common Stock at the then prevailing Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants).
- Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If (i) a
Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the respective Filing Deadline (a "Filing Failure") or (B) not
declared effective by the SEC on or before the respective Effectiveness Deadline (an "Effectiveness Failure") or (ii) on any day
after the Effective Date sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made
(other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r)) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including,
without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales
to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or to maintain the listing of
the Common Stock) (a "Maintenance Failure") then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in
or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies
available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an
amount equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate purchase price of such Investor's Registrable Securities, payable fifty percent (50%) in
cash and fifty percent (50%) in Common Stock, whether or not included in such Registration Statement, on each of the following dates: (i)
the day of a Filing Failure; (ii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure; (iii) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure; (iv) on every thirtieth day after
the day of a Filing Failure and thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Filing Failure is
6
cured; (v) on every
thirtieth day after the day of an Effectiveness Failure and thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such
Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (vi) on every thirtieth day after the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and thereafter (pro rated for
periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Maintenance Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to
this Section 2(g) are referred to herein as "Registration Delay Payments". Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay
Payments shall accrue after 180 days from the Closing Date. Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates set
forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the
Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of
one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable
to the Buyers as the Common Stock portion of any Registration Delay Payments shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the
cash portion of such Registration Delay Payments by ninety percent (90%) of the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the
Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date that the applicable Registration Delay Payment is actually
accrued.
- Related Obligations.
At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a),
2(b), 2(e) or 2(f), the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
- The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the
Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become
effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall keep each
Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor thereto)
promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement (the "Registration Period"). The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of
the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The term "best efforts" shall mean, among other things, that the Company
shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular
Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement,
as the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is immediately sought), a request for
acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of
such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is
required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.

- The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all
times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall
have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such
Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to
this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or any
analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the Company shall have incorporated
such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the
same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration
Statement.
- The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least
five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for
Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within
a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement
thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or
the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared
and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of
any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company's obligations pursuant to this Section 3.
8
- The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration
Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement
and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested
by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the
prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such
Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor
may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
- The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and
qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or
"blue sky" laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness
thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in
effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable
Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject
itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company
shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue
sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose.
- The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly
as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such
notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal
Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company
shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such
effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by
overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related
information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be
appropriate.
9
- The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible
moment and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the
resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
- If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an
underwriter or an Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an
underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the reasonable request of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on
the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably
request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily
given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an
opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and
substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.
- If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an
underwriter or an Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall
make available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the
Investors (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties
of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the
Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that
each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or
other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified,
unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is
otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order
from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such
Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the
Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor)
shall be deemed to limit the Investors' ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws
and regulations.
10
- The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor
provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the
disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of
such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or
any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought
in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and
allow such Investor, at the Investor's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for,
such information.
- The Company shall use its best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are
then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure the inclusion
for quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on The NASDAQ Global Select Market or (iii) if, despite the Company's best efforts, the
Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on The NASDAQ Global
Market, The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Capital Market or the NYSE Amex Equities for such Registrable Securities and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and
expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).
- The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the
extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable
Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the
case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.
- If requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and
distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being
offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such
offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration
Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.
- The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement
to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition
of such Registrable Securities.
11
- The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than
ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided
by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's
fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of a Registration Statement.
- The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC
in connection with any registration hereunder.
- Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered
effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such
Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation
that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay
the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith
opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the
Company, otherwise required (a "Grace Period"); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing of the
existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the
content of such material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the
Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed five (5)
consecutive days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of twenty (20)
days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an
"Allowable Grace Period"). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and
include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors
receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be
applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the
first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer
applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common
Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of
Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Investor's receipt of the notice of a
Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
- Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Buyer as an underwriter in any
public disclosure or filing with the SEC or any Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or Eligible Market and any
Buyer being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the "Plan of Distribution" section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the
Registration Statement.
12
- Obligations of the Investors.
- At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company
shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of
such Investor's Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such
Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of
disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration
of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably
request.
- Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the
Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder,
unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities
from such Registration Statement.
- Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the
kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or
amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares
of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any
sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) and for which the Investor
has not yet settled.
- Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933
Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement.
13
- Expenses of Registration.
All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees,
printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall
also reimburse the Investors for the fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant
to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $20,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification.
- Indemnification.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
- To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend
each Investor, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any
Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several,
(collectively, "Claims") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or
appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC,
whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"), to which
any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other "blue
sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein,
in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation
thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this
Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, "Violations"). Subject to Section 6(c), the
Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or
other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the
14
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified
Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant
to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by
the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
- In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to
severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified
Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified
Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with
such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party, promptly as such expenses
are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the
agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further,
however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not
exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
- Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be;
provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses
of not more than one counsel for all
15
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable
opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall
cooperate reasonably 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 or Indemnified
Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised
at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any
settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall
not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all
liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified
Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that
the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
- The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
- The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be
subject to pursuant to the law.
- Contribution.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party
agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest
extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to
contribution from any
16
Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii)
contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the
sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
- Reports Under the 1934 Act.
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any
other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:
- make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
- file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933
Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is
required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
- furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a
written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act,
(ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company,
and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.
- Assignment of Registration Rights.
The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any
portion of such Investor's Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights,
and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a
reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee,
and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer
or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state
securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee
or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been
made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
17
- Amendment of Registration Rights.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such
amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall
be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same
consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
- Miscellaneous.
- A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own
of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with
respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such
record owner of such Registrable Securities.
- Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of
this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt,
when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending
party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the
party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:

- All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be
governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether

New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not

unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be
deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to
express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the
parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
- This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the
instruments referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and

permitted successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.
- The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the

by facsimile transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.
- Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order
to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
20
- All consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be
made, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders.
- The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their
mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
- This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
- The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor,
and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any Investor vis-à-vis any other Investor. Nothing
contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a
group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.
- Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in
United States Dollars. All amounts owing under this Agreement shall be paid in US dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies

Business Days submit via facsimile the disputed determination of the Weighted Average Price to an independent, reputable investment bank
selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank to perform
the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Required Holders of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days

prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:
(a) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in
the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or
(b) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding
in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section being hereinafter referred to as
the "Judgment Conversion Date").
- If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 11(p)(i)(b) above, there is a
change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the
applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased
with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment
Conversion Date.
- Any Amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be
affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement.

Attention: [ ]
Re: Zoom Technologies, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
[We are][I am] counsel to Zoom Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and have
represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement")
entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the "Holders") pursuant to which the
Company issued to the Holders shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Common Stock") and five series of warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"). Pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable
Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's obligations
under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 200_, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-_____________) (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC's staff has advised [us][me] by
telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME
OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic
inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant
to the Registration Statement.
1
This letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by
the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or
reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company's Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated
_______ __, 20__.
Very truly yours,
[ISSUER'S COUNSEL]

EXHIBIT B
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling
Stockholders and those issuable to the selling stockholders upon exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the
issuances of common stock and the warrants, see "Private Placement of Shares and Warrants" above. We are registering the shares of
common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the
shares of common stock and the warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have not had any
material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares
of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by
each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of common stock and warrants, as of ________, 20__, assuming exercise of the warrants
held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercise.
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus
generally covers the resale of at least the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and (ii) the number of shares of
common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the related warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised, as
applicable, in full, as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date this registration statement is initially filed with the SEC. The fourth
column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants, to the extent such exercise
would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would
exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second
column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of
Distribution."

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of common stock previously issued and the shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the warrants from time to time after the
date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock.
We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and
offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are
sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or
agent's commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at
the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions,
which may involve crosses or block transactions,
- on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the
time of sale;
- in the over-the-counter market;
- in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
- through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
- block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
- privately negotiated transactions;
- short sales;
- sales pursuant to Rule 144;
- broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a
stipulated price per share;
- a combination of any such methods of sale; and
- any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent
or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents
may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or
otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the
shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock
short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in
connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn
may sell such shares.
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of Common
Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell
the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the
pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer
and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in
interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may
be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions
allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a
particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the
aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-
dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts,
commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
2
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have
been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered
pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation,
Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling
stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the
shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect
the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to
the shares of common stock.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights
agreement, estimated to be $[ ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange
Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will
pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some
liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to
contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may
arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the
related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will
be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

without deduction therefrom, by drawing checks on the Bank Account for the amounts of such payments and transmitting them to the Investors.
In such event, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Placement Agent and each of the Investors of its distribution of the Fund.
4.4 Upon disbursement of the Fund pursuant to the terms of this Article 4, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of
further obligations and released from all liability under this Agreement. It is expressly agreed and understood that in no event shall the
aggregate amount of payments made by the Escrow Agent exceed the amount of the Fund.
5. Rights, Duties and Responsibilities of Escrow Agent. It is understood and agreed that the duties of the
Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature, and that:
5.1 The Escrow Agent shall notify the Placement Agent, on a daily basis if the Escrow Agent receives
additional funds, of the Escrow Amounts which have been deposited in the Bank Account and of the amounts, constituting the Fund, which have
cleared the banking system and have been collected by the Escrow Agent.
5.2 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of the terms or conditions of the
Purchase Agreementor any other agreement between the Placement Agent and the Issuer nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for the
performance by the Placement Agent or the Issuer of their respective obligations under this Agreement.
5.3 The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept from the Placement Agent (or the Issuer) any Subscription
Information pertaining to Investors unless such Subscription Information is accompanied by checks or wire transfers meeting the requirements
of Section 3.1, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to keep records of any information with respect to payments deposited by the Placement
Agent (or the Issuer) except as to the amount of such payments; however, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Placement Agent within a
reasonable time of any discrepancy between the amount set forth in any Subscription Information and the amount delivered to the Escrow
Agent therewith. Such amount need not be accepted for deposit in the Warrant Escrow Account until such discrepancy has been resolved.
5.4 The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it
hereunder. The Escrow Agent, within a reasonable time, shall return to the Placement Agent any check received which is dishonored, together
with the Subscription Information, if any, which accompanied such check.
5.5 The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy, act in reliance upon the contents, and
assume the genuineness of any notice, instruction, certificate, signature, instrument or other document which is given to the Escrow Agent
pursuant to this Agreement without the necessity of the Escrow Agent verifying the truth or accuracy thereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be
obligated to make any inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or identity of any person purporting to give any such notice or instructions
or to execute any such certificate, instrument or other document.
5.6 If the Escrow Agent is uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions with respect to
the Bank Account, the Escrow Amounts or the Fund which, in its sole determination, are in conflict either with other instructions received by it or
with any provision of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to hold the Escrow Amounts, the Fund, or a portion thereof, in the Bank Account
pending the resolution of such uncertainty to the Escrow Agent's sole satisfaction, by final judgment of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction
or otherwise.
5.7 The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted hereunder, or for the misconduct of any
employee, agent or attorney appointed by it, except in the case of willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to consult with counsel of its own choosing and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel.
5.8 The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility at any time to ascertain whether or not any security interest exists
in the Escrow Amounts, the Fund or any part thereof or to file any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the
Fund or any part thereof.
6. Amendment; Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. This Agreement may be altered or amended
only with the written consent of the Issuer, the Placement Agent, and the Escrow Agent, provided, however, that Section 4.3 cannot be
amended. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to
the Issuer and the Placement Agent specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect and upon delivery of the Fund to the successor
escrow agent designated by the Placement Agent in writing. Such successor Escrow Agent shall become the Escrow Agent hereunder upon
the resignation date specified in such notice. If the Company fails to designate a successor Escrow Agent within thirty (30) days after such
notice, then the resigning Escrow Agent shall promptly refund the amount in the Fund to each prospective Investor, with interest thereon or
deduction. The Escrow Agent shall continue to serve until its successor accepts the escrow and receives the Fund. The Company shall have
the right at any time to remove the Escrow Agent and substitute a new escrow agent by giving notice thereof to the Escrow Agent then acting.
Upon its resignation and delivery of the Fund as set forth in this Section 6, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further
obligations arising in connection with the escrow contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the provisions of Section 8 hereof, the
resigning Escrow Agent shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer and the Placement Agent for any expenses incurred in connection with
its resignation, transfer of the Fund to a successor escrow agent or distribution of the Fund pursuant to this Section 6.
7. Representations and Warranties. The Issuer and the Placement Agent hereby severally represent and
warrant to the Escrow Agent that:
7.1 No party other than the Investors have, or shall have, any lien, claim or security interest in the Warrant Escrow
Amounts or the Fund or any part thereof.
7.2 No financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code is on file in any jurisdiction claiming a security
interest in or describing (whether specifically or generally) the Escrow Amounts or the Fund or any part thereof.
7.3 The Subscription Information submitted with each deposit shall, at the time of submission and at the time of the
disbursement of the Fund, be deemed a representation and warranty that such deposit represents a bona fide payment by the Investor
described therein for the amount of Securities set forth in such Subscription Information.
7.4 All of the information contained in the Subscription Information and Exhibit A is, as of the date hereof, and will
be, at the time of any disbursement of the Fund, true and correct.

Customer" regulations, USA Patriot Act, Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) regulations and the Bank Secrecy Act.

Agent for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees.

and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (collectively referred to as
the "Indemnitees") against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense,
including without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, which the Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding
brought against the Indemnitees arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates,
unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence of the Indemnitees.
9.2 If the indemnification provided for in Section 9.1 is applicable, but for any reason is held to be unavailable, the
Indemnitors shall contribute such amounts as are just and equitable to pay, or to reimburse the Indemnitees for, the aggregate of any and all
losses, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses, including counsel fees, actually incurred by the Indemnitees as a result of or in connection
with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, claim or proceeding arising out of or relating in any way to any actions or omissions of
the Indemnitors.
9.3 The provisions of this Article 9 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether by disbursement of the
Fund, resignation of the Escrow Agent or otherwise.
10. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate on the final disposition of the Fund
pursuant to Section 4, provided that the rights of the Escrow Agent and the obligations of the other parties hereto under Section 9 shall survive
the termination hereof and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.
11. Governing Law and Assignment. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof, and shall be binding, upon the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that any assignment or transfer by any party of its rights under
this Agreement or with respect to the Escrow Amounts or the Fund shall be void as against the Escrow Agent unless (a) written notice thereof
shall be given to the Escrow Agent; and (b) the Escrow Agent shall have consented in writing to such assignment or transfer.
12. Notices. All notices required to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be sent by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by hand delivery with receipt acknowledged, or by the Express Mail service offered by the United

circumstance shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the application of such provision
to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14. Execution in Several Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts or by
separate instruments and by facsimile transmission, and all of such counterparts and instruments shall constitute one agreement, binding on all
of the parties hereto.
15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (written or oral) of the parties in connection
therewith.
16 Third-Party Beneficiaries. The parties to this Agreement represent, acknowledge and confirm that each
of the Investors is a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement and this Agreement inures to his benefit as if each such Investor was a party to this

WHEREAS, the Company and certain investors (each, an "Investor", and
collectively, the "Investors") have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as October 15, 2009 (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Investors and the
Investors have agreed to purchase, (i) shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock");

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of the Investors to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the "Transaction"), the Investors have required that each
Stockholder agrees, and in order to induce the Investors to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed, to
enter into this Agreement with respect to all the Common Stock now owned and which may hereafter be acquired by the Stockholders and
any other securities, if any, which such Stockholder is currently entitled to vote, or after the date hererof, becomes entitled to vote, at any
meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Other Securities").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein,
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
VOTING AGREEMENT OF THE STOCKHOLDER
SECTION 1.01. Voting Agreement. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.01, each Stockholder hereby agrees
that at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written consent of the Company's stockholders,
each of the Stockholders shall vote the Common Stock and the Other Securities: (a) in favor of the Stockholder Approval (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement) as described in Section 3.1(a) of the Securities Purchase Agreement; and (b) against any proposal or
any other corporate action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or

obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement not being fulfilled. Each Stockholder acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the
Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). The obligations of
the Stockholders under this Section 1.01 shall terminate immediately following the occurrence of the Stockholder Approval.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDER
Each Stockholder hereby represents and warrants, severally but not jointly, to each of the Investors as
follows:
SECTION 2.01. Authority Relative to This Agreement. Each Stockholder has all necessary legal capacity, power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his or its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except (a) as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' and other obligees' rights, (b) where the remedy of specific performance or other forms of
equitable relief may be subject to certain equitable defenses and principles and to the discretion of the court before which the proceeding may
be brought, and (c) where rights to indemnity and contribution thereunder may be limited by applicable law and public policy.
SECTION 2.02. No Conflict. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the
performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder shall not, (i) conflict with or violate any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule,
regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to such Stockholder or by which the Common Stock or the Other Securities owned by such
Stockholder are bound or affected or (ii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the
creation of a lien or encumbrance on any of the Common Stock or the Other Securities owned by such Stockholder pursuant to, any note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder
is a party or by which such Stockholder or the Common Stock or Other Securities owned by such Stockholder are bound.
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance of this
Agreement by such Stockholder shall not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any
governmental entity by such Stockholder.
SECTION 2.03. Title to the Stock. As of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the owner of the number of shares of
Common Stock set forth opposite its name on Appendix A attached hereto, entitled to vote, without restriction, on all matters brought
before holders of capital stock of the Company, which Common Stock represent on the date hereof the percentage of the outstanding stock
and voting power of the Company set forth on such Appendix. Such Common Stock are all the securities of the Company owned, either of
record or beneficially, by such Stockholder. Such Common Stock are owned free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges,
options, rights of first refusal, agreements, limitations on such Stockholder's voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever. No Stockholder has appointed or granted any proxy, which appointment or grant is still effective, with respect to the Common
Stock or Other Securities owned by such Stockholder.
2
ARTICLE III
COVENANTS
SECTION 3.01. No Disposition or Encumbrance of Stock. Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, until the
Stockholder Approval has been obtained, except as contemplated by this Agreement, such Stockholder shall not offer or agree to sell,
transfer, tender, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, grant a proxy or power of attorney with respect to, or create or permit to exist
any security interest, lien, claim, pledge, option, right of first refusal, agreement, limitation on such Stockholder's voting rights, charge or other
encumbrance of any nature whatsoever ("Encumbrance") with respect to the Common Stock or Other Securities, directly or
indirectly, initiate, solicit or encourage any person to take actions which could reasonably be expected to lead to the occurrence of any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that any such Stockholder may assign, sell or transfer any Common Stock or Other
Securities provided that any such recipient of the Common Stock or Other Securities has delivered to the Company and each Investor a
written agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Investors that the recipient shall be bound by, and the Common Stock and/or Other
Securities so transferred, assigned or sold shall remain subject to this Agreement.
SECTION 3.02. Company Cooperation. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, and such
Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not (and waives any rights against the Company
in relation thereto), recognize any Encumbrance or agreement on any of the Common Stock or Other Securities subject to this Agreement
unless the provisions of Section 3.01 have been complied with. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that at any
time in which any Stockholder Approval is required pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, it will cause holders of
Common Stock or Other Securities representing the percentage of outstanding capital stock required to vote in favor of the Transaction in
order for the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 3.1(a) of the Securities Purchase Agreement to become party to and
bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Common Stock and Other Securities held by such holders to be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 4.01. Further Assurances. Each Stockholder will execute and deliver such further documents and instruments
and take all further action as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 4.02. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any
provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that any Investor (without being joined by any other
Investor) shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Any Investor shall
be entitled to its reasonable attorneys' fees in any action brought to enforce this Agreement in which it is the prevailing party.
3
SECTION 4.03. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Company and the
Stockholders with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the Company and the Stockholders with respect to the subject matter hereof.
SECTION 4.04. Amendment. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended or waived, nor may this
Agreement be terminated by the Company other than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.07.
SECTION 4.05. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall
be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to
express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties
or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
SECTION 4.06. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of
this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
other than the State of New York. The parties hereby agree that all actions or proceedings arising directly or indirectly from or in connection
with this Agreement shall be litigated only in the Supreme Court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York located in New York County, New York. The parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the foregoing courts and
consent that any process or notice of motion or other application to any of said courts or a judge thereof may be served inside or outside the
State of New York or the Southern District of New York by registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to the party being served at its
address set forth on the signature ages to this Agreement (and service so made shall be deemed complete three (3) days after the
same has been posted as aforesaid) or by personal service or in such other manner as may be permissible under the rules of said courts.
Each of the Company and each Stockholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that suit, action, or
proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Stockholder hereby appoints the Company, with offices at 207 South Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02111, as its agent for service of process in the United States. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE
HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.
4
SECTION 4.07. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate immediately following the occurrence of the Stockholder
Approval.
