In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its Transfer Agent, without any such legal opinion, except to the extent that the Transfer Agent requests such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by the Investor to an Affiliate of the Investor, provided, that (i) the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and (ii) the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b)                The Investor agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b) , of the following legends on any certificate evidencing any of the Securities:

THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN A CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.

Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legends set forth above (i) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Securities is effective under the Securities Act; (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the Securities have been sold under Rule 144; (iii) if the Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1); or (iv) if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). 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 4.1(b) unless required by Applicable Law.

4.4             Reservation of Securities . The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations to issue Warrant Shares under the Transaction Documents.

(f)                 Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investor in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Investor requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective for so long as required, but not to exceed the duration of the Effectiveness Period, and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided , however , that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6.2(f) or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(g)                Upon sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement and under Applicable Law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any the Investor may reasonably request.

(h)                Promptly upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6.2(b)(iv) , prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither such Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(i)                  Comply with all rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to the Company in connection with the registration of the Securities.

(j)                  The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the holders are required to make available a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.

6.3             Registration Expenses . The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with Article VI of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation those related to filings with the SEC, The Nasdaq Stock Market or comparable securities trading market and in connection with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (b) printing expenses (including without limitation expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses incurred by the Company, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (e) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (f) reasonable fees and expenses of one special counsel for the Investor (not to exceed $25,000 per registration or $100,000 in the aggregate for all registrations pursuant to this Agreement); and (g) all listing fees to be paid by the Company to The Nasdaq Stock Market or comparable securities trading market; provided , however , that the Company shall not be responsible for underwriting discounts and commissions of the Investor.

6.4             Indemnification .

(a)                Indemnification by the Company . The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, from and against all Losses arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of Company prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Company preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, provided , however , that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Losses arise out of, or are based upon, an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with information that relates solely to the Investor or the Investor’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was provided by the Investor in writing for use in such Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

(b)                Indemnification by the Investor . The Investor shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, from and against all Losses arising out of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of Company prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Company preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case, on the effective date thereof, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is based solely upon information regarding the Investor furnished to the Company by the Investor in writing expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information solely relates to the Investor or the Investor’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was provided by the Investor for use in such Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of the Investor under this Article VI be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)                Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or that additional or different defenses may be available to the Indemnified Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding (including separate Proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, unless such consent is unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 6.4(c) ) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within twenty (20) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d)                Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 6.4(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(c) , any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4(d) was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4(d) , the Investor shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Investor from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6.5              Dispositions . The Investor agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall sell its Registrable Securities in accordance with the Plan of Distribution set forth in the Prospectus. The Investor further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 6.2(b)(ii) , (iii) or (iv) , the Investor will use best efforts to discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until the Investor is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus, or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 4.9 of this Agreement shall apply with respect to any proposed disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Article VI . The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

6.6             [Reserved.]

6.7             Assignment of Registration Rights . The registration rights under this Article VI of this Agreement with respect to applicable shares transferred by Investor pursuant to this agreement shall be automatically transferred to any transferee of all or any portion of Investor’s Registrable Securities, to the extent of such shares transferred, if (a) 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; (b) the Company is furnished with written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee and (ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred; (c) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee is restricted under this Agreement, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; (d) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement; and (e) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement.

If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall promptly issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, and the Investor will pay only those costs and expenses that are customarily charged by or on behalf the Company or the Transfer Agent to any stockholder of the Company in connection therewith. The Company may require the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and a customary agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and Transfer Agent, if applicable) for any losses in connection therewith.

7.14           Remedies . In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by Applicable Law, including recovery of damages, the Investor and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents.

7.15           Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices .

ENERGOUS CORPORATION

WARRANT

Energous Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for value received, Dialog Semiconductor plc., a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“ Dialog ”), or its successors or assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 654,013 shares of common stock, $.00001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Company (each such share, a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares, the “ Warrant Shares ”) at an exercise price initially equal to $19.9766 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9 , the “ Exercise Price ”), at any time on or after date which is six months and one day after the date hereof (the “ Earliest Exercise Date ”) and through and including July 5, 2020 (the “ Expiration Date ”), subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “ Warrant ”) is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Investor named therein (as amended from time to time, the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

1.               Definitions . In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

2.               Registration of Warrant . 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 Holder of record hereof. 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. The Warrant Shares shall be afforded the registration rights set forth in Article VI of the Purchase Agreement.

3.               Exercise and Duration of Warrant .

(a)                This Warrant shall be exercisable by the Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the Earliest Exercise Date to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

(b)                The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “ Exercise Notice ”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .” The Holder shall be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder unless the Holder shall deliver an affidavit of loss or such other documentation reasonably requested by the Company in lieu of such original Warrant in connection with any such exercise. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice in respect of less than all the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “ New Warrant ”), evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

(c)                This Warrant shall not be exercisable through the making of a cash payment of the Exercise Price, but instead the Holder may only exercise this Warrant by converting this Warrant into shares of Common Stock, in which event the Company will issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount resulting from the following equation:

If the foregoing calculation results in zero or a negative number, then no shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise pursuant to this Section 3(d) .

4.               Delivery of Warrant Shares .

(a)                Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise (i) free of restrictive legends if (x) sold under a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder or (y) if such shares are freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (ii) if such shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, such certificate will bear the legends set forth in Section 4.1(b) of the Purchase Agreement. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use best efforts to deliver, or to cause its transfer agent to deliver, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through The Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

(b)                This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

(c)                The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the 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 this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

5.               Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant .

(a)                Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that the registered holder hereof may be treated by the Company and all other Persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the Person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby.

(b)                Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and the Purchase Agreement, the Holder shall be entitled, without obtaining the consent of the Company, to assign and transfer this Warrant, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, to an Affiliate of the Holder, provided such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of Section 4.1, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, and Section 4.10 of the Purchase Agreement. The Holder may not otherwise sell, assign or transfer this Warrant, in whole or part. Subject to the preceding sentence, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the form of warrant assignment attached hereto (the “ Warrant Assignment ”) duly executed, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable and without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee or assignees named in such Warrant Assignment and, if the Holder’s entire interest is not being assigned, in the name of the Holder and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.

6.               Charges, Taxes and Expenses . The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, issue, transfer and other similar taxes that may be payable upon the initial issuance of the Warrants hereunder. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary, stamp, issue, transfer and other similar tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates upon the exercise of the Warrants hereunder, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance, delivery or registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder.

7.               Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company, at no cost to Holder, shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of an affidavit of such loss, theft or destruction and customary indemnity, if requested.

8.               Reservation of Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (after giving effect to the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9 , if any). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale, except to the extent created by the Holder. The Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to take all such action to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed, in each case, applicable to the Company.

9.               Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9 .

(a)                Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on its Common Stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii)  subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination.

(b)                Fundamental Transactions . If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected (all such transactions being hereinafter referred to as a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Company shall ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any share of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 9(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions, each of which transactions shall also constitute a Fundamental Transaction.

(c)                Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9 , the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased (as the case may be), proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the decreased or increased (as the case may be) number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(d)                Calculations . All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. No adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, as the case may be, shall be required if the amount of such adjustment would be less than 1/10th of a cent or 1/100th of a share, as the case may be; provided , however , that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 9(d) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(e)                Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon any such occurrence and/or otherwise upon written request by or on behalf of the Holder, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.

(f)                 Notice of Corporate Events . If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company, (ii) enters into any agreement contemplating, or solicits stockholder approval for, any Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, including the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of securities or other property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, at least fifteen calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to facilitate the exercise of the Warrant pursuant to Section 3(b) (which exercise may be conditioned upon the occurrence of such event); provided , however , that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

10.              Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 10 , be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, then the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

11.              Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of delivery to the courier service, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

12.              Warrant Agent . The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholder services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

13.              Miscellaneous .

(a)                The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (ii) will not, and will not permit its transfer agent to, close its stockholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

(b)                GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THAT BODY OF LAWS PERTAINING TO CONFLICT OF LAWS. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-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 DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT AND THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

(c)                The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(d)                In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

(e)                No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Expiration Date.

(f)                 No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the 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.

(g)                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 the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(h)                Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
