Impact of recently issued accounting standards:
 
 
In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 “ASU 2010-20” Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses". ASU 2010-20 is an update of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310, Receivables. This update requires enhanced disclosures on a disaggregated basis about the nature of the credit risk inherent in the portfolio of financing receivables; how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses; and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses.
 
 
The disclosures required under ASU 2010-20 as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of the update does not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Convertible Debenture (Cont.):
 
 
In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company allocated the consideration paid for the convertible debenture and the warrants as follows:
 
 
The warrants were recorded as a liability based on their fair value in the amount of $951 at grant date. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: volatility of 83%, risk free interest rate of 4.8%, dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 36 months. Changes in the fair value are recorded as interest income or expense, as applicable.
 
 
The fair value of the conversion feature of the debentures at grant date, in the amount of $1,951 was recorded as a liability.
 
 
The balance of the consideration, in the amount of $97, was allocated to the debentures. The discount in the amount of $2,903 was amortized according to the effective rate interest method over the debentures contractual period (24 months).
 
 
The fair value of the warrants issued as a finder’s fee and the finder’s fee in cash amounted to $535 and were recorded as deferred issuance expenses and are amortized over the Debentures’ contractual period. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black - Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: volatility of 83%, risk free interest rate of 4.8%, dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 36 months.
 
 
According to ASC 815-40, in order to classify warrants and options (other than employee stock options) as equity and not as liabilities, the Company should have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to provide for settlement of those instruments that may require share settlement. Under the terms of the Debentures, the Company may be required to issue an unlimited number of shares to satisfy the debenture’s contractual requirements. As such, on April 3, 2006, the Company’s warrants and options (other than employee stock options) were classified as liabilities and measured at fair value with changes recognized currently in earnings.
 
 
As of November 9, 2006, all of the Debentures, were converted into 969,815 shares. As a result, an amount of $1,787 was reclassified into common stock and additional paid-in capital as follows: from conversion of the feature embedded in convertible debenture ($1,951), convertible debenture ($202), accrued interest ($74) net of issuance expenses in the amount of $440. In addition, the warrants and options to consultants in the amount of $476 and deferred issuance expenses in the amount of $379 were reclassified as equity.
 
 
Pursuant to an investor relations agreement dated April 28, 2006, the Company paid in cash an amount of $440 on October 19, 2006 and issued 50,000 common shares on November 9, 2006 to certain service providers following reaching certain milestones regarding the conversion of the Debentures as agreed to by the parties.
 
 
During the year ended June 30, 2007, 186,529 of the warrants which were issued on April 3, 2006, were exercised. 75,692 warrants were exercised into shares in consideration for $1,022 (net of cash exercise costs of $114), and 110,836 warrants were exercised cashless into 46,674 shares.   On April 30, 2009, the rest of the warrants expired unexercised.

The consideration was paid partly prior to the issuance of the shares in the year ended June 30, 2007 ($368) and was recorded as receipts on account of shares and the balance was paid during July and August 2007.
 
 
As part of May 2007 Agreement, the Company signed an escrow agreement according to which the Company granted an option to an investor to invest, under the same conditions defined in the May 2007 Agreement, up to $5,000 which will be paid in monthly installments over 10 months starting six months subsequent to the closing date. According to the agreement, in the event that the investor fails to make any of the payments within five days of the payment due date, the option to invest the remaining amount will be cancelled. As a result of this agreement, the Company issued 634,580 shares of the Company’s common stock and 634,580 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock in consideration for $1,561 (net of cash issuance costs of $25). As of March 31, 2008 the option was cancelled.
 
 
The total proceeds related to the May 2007 Agreement accumulated as of June 30, 2008 were $9,997 (net of cash issuance costs of $89), and 4,034,585 shares and 4,034,585 warrants were issued.

p.
In the May 2007 Agreement, there is a provision that requires the Company for a period of four years (subject to acceleration under certain circumstances) not to sell any of the Company’s common stock for less than $0.0125 per share (pre-split price). The May 2007 Agreement provides that any sale below that price must be preceded by consent from each purchaser in the placement.
 
 
Since that date, the Company had effected a one-for-200 reverse stock split.  The Company decided to proceed and enter into additional security purchase agreements notwithstanding this provision for the following reasons:
 
 
·
The agreement does not contain any provisions for the adjustment of the specified minimum price in the event of stock splits and the like. If such agreement were to have contained such a provision, the floor price would be $2.50.
 
 
·
The majority of purchasers in the private placement have sold the stock purchased in the placement, and thus the number of purchasers whose consent is purportedly required has been substantially reduced. The number of shares outstanding as to which this provision currently applies according the information supplied by transfer agent is 2 million shares.
 
 
·
An agreement that prevents the Company’s Board of Directors from issuing shares that are necessary to finance the Company’s business may be unenforceable.
 
 
It is unclear what could be the consequences of a court decision that the issuance of shares below $2.50 per share violates the May 2007 Agreement.
 
 
In connection therewith, the Company approved the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 161,724 shares of its common stock to each of the investors who was a party to the May 2007 Agreement that held shares purchased pursuant to such agreement, as of August 6, 2008, conditioned on having the investors execute a general release pursuant to which the Company will be released from liability including, but not limited to, any claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of, relating to, or regarding sales of certain equity securities notwithstanding the above mentioned provision.  As of December 31, 2010 the Company received a general release from some of the investors, and issued them warrants to purchase 105,583 shares of its common stock.  On November 9, 2010, all of such warrants expired unexercised.
 
q.
On August 6, 2008, the Company sold 1,391,304 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 695,652 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 to two investors in consideration of $1,600 pursuant to terms of a securities purchase agreement. The placement agent received a placement fee equal to 6% of the gross purchase price of the Units (excluding any consideration that may be paid in the future upon exercise of the warrants) as well as warrants to purchase 83,478 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. The warrants will be exercisable after six months from the closing date through and including August 5, 2013.  Total cash issuance costs related to this placement amounted to $125.

The Company has approved two incentive option plans from 2003 and from 2005 (the “2003 Plan" and the “2005 Plan”, and collectively, the “Plans”).  Under these Plans, options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (the “Awards”) may be granted to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants.
 
 
Each option granted under the 2005 Plan, as it was amended and restated on January 21, 2009, is exercisable through the expiration date of the 2005 Plan, which is December 31, 2018, unless stated otherwise.  The Awards vest over two years from the date of grant, as follows: 25% vests six months after the date of grant, and the remaining Awards vest monthly, in equal instalments over 18 months unless other vesting schedules are specified.  Any Awards that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants.
 
 
As of December 31, 2010, the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2005 Plan amounted to 7,273,296.  305,447 shares are still available for future grant under the 2005 Plan as of December 31, 2010.  Under the 2003 Plan 20,500 options are authorized for issuance, and 12,870 options are still available for future grant.

NOTE 4: - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
a.
During January 2011, 1,754,560 warrants were exercised in consideration for $3,082, and 570,982 warrants were exercised on a cashless basis for 287,231 shares of common stock.
 
b.
On February 1, 2011, the Company closed a public offering of 11,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of the Company's common stock and one warrant to purchase 0.4 of a share of common stock, at a purchase price of $3.25 per unit. The warrants in the offering will generally be exercisable for a period of five years commencing 6 months following issuance, at an exercise price of $4.20 per share.  The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase from the Company up to an additional 1,650,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase up to 660,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised their overallotment option in full thereby increasing the number of units sold by the company by additional 1,650,000. The net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $38,000, assuming no exercise of the warrants and after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts and estimated expenses payable by the company associated with the offering.

Overview

We are a bio-therapeutics company dedicated to the commercialization of non-personalized (allogeneic) cell therapy products for the treatment of several severe degenerative, ischemic and autoimmune disorders.  We are developing a pipeline of products, stored ready-to-use, that are derived from human placenta, a non-controversial, non-embryonic, adult stromal cell source. The placental adherent stromal cells, or ASCs, are grown in the company's proprietary PluriX™ three-dimensional bioreactor, which imitates the natural microstructure of the body.

Our first product in development, PLX-PAD, is intended to improve the quality of life of millions of people suffering from peripheral artery disease, or PAD.
 
We are currently focusing on clinical indications that the route of administration is intramuscular, which means that the cells are administrated locally to the muscle and not systemically. This route of administration may be applicable for several different indications, such as: PAD, critical limb ischemia, or CLI, intermittent claudication, or IC, neuropathic pain, wound healing and orthopedic injuries.  In addition, we have reported our pre-clinical studies utilizing our proprietary PLX during the systemic administration in treating for multiple sclerosis, ischemic stroke, and inflammatory bowel disease.
 
Recent Developments
 
On December 12, 2010, the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE, approved the listing of our shares of common stock for trading on the TASE beginning on December 19, 2010, under the ticker symbol PLTR.

We announced on January 18, 2011 that we successfully completed a parallel scientific advisory process with the European Medical Agencies, or the EMA, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, regarding our planned clinical development program for PLX-PAD.
 
We plan to conduct two clinical studies of PLX-PAD, and to file the necessary regulatory documentation requesting the joint approval of the FDA-EMA for a Phase II/III study of PLX-PAD for CLI and a joint approval of the FDA and the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) in Germany to conduct a Phase II study for IC.
 
In February 2011 we raised approximately $38 million in a firm commitment underwritten public offering.  See ‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’.
 
Other Information

We have not generated revenues since our inception.  Historically, we have relied on private placement issuances and public offerings of equity, as well as on governmental grants, to fund our operations.

We do not expect to generate revenues from sales of products in the next 12 months, and therefore we plan to continue to finance our operations from our existing cash resources and governmental grants.  Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our products and the degree to which competitive products are introduced to the market.  Our products will likely not be ready for sale for at least three years, if at all.  We believe that the funds we have, which include net proceeds of approximately $5 million from a private placement that we closed in October, 2010, or the October 2010 Offering, and approximately $38 million from a public offering that we closed in February, 2011, together with an approved R&D grant from the Israeli Office of Chief Scientist, or the OCS, will be sufficient for operating until at least the end of calendar year of 2013.  As long as our cash flows from operations remain insufficient to fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through governmental grants or equity financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of the company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 COMPARED TO SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009.
 
We have not generated any revenues, and we have negative cash flow from operations of $25,357,000 and have accumulated a deficit of $44,615,000 since our inception in May 2001. This negative cash flow is mostly attributable to research and development, clinical studies and general and administrative expenses. We estimate our operating cash expenses, net of OCS participation, in the next 12 months will be approximately $8,000,000.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses, net of participation of the OCS, for the six months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 42% from $1,814,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $2,576,000.  This increase is attributed to the increase in our research and development activity and the progress of our clinical studies, including hiring 8 new employees since December 2009.
 
Research and development expenses, net of participation of the OCS, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 67% from $947,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $1,578,000.  This increase is attributed to the increase in our research and development activity and the progress of our clinical studies, including hiring 8 new employees since December 2009.

General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 22% from $1,645,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $2,002,000 mainly due to stock-based compensation expenses which increased in approximately $300,000.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 42% from $875,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $1,246,000 due to an increase in stock-based compensation expenses.
 
Financial Income, net
 
Financial income increased from $11,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $68,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 due to exchange rate adjustments.
 
Financial income increased from an expense of $9,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to income of $3,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 also due to exchange rate adjustments.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010 was $4,510,000 and $2,821,000, respectively, as compared to net loss of $3,448,000 and $1,831,000 for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009, respectively. Net loss per share for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010 was $0.20 and $0.11, respectively, as compared to $0.22 and $0.10 for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2010, total current assets were $5,531,000 and total current liabilities were $1,479,000. On December 31, 2010, we had a working capital surplus of $4,052,000 and an accumulated deficit of $44,615,000. We finance our operations and plan to continue doing so from our existing cash, funds from grants from the OCS and issuances of our securities.
 
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 amounted to $4,739,000.  This is an increase of $3,156,000 from the $1,583,000 reported as of June 30, 2010. Cash balances increased in the six months ended December 31, 2010 for the reasons presented below.
 
Operating activities used cash of $2,219,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010. Cash used by operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily consisted of payments of salaries to our employees, and payments of fees to our consultants, subcontractors and professional services providers including costs of the clinical studies, less research and development grants by the OCS.

Investing activities provided cash of $367,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010. The investing activities consisted primarily of repayments of short-term deposits, offset by investments in equipment for our R&D facilities and construction of a new research lab.

Financing activities generated cash of $5,008,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2010.  Substantially all of such amount is attributable to the October 2010 Offering.

On October 18, 2010, we closed the October 2010 Offering, pursuant to which we sold 4,375,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.20 per share and warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price per share of $1.80.  No separate consideration was paid for the warrants.  The warrants have a term of four years and are exercisable starting six months following the issuance thereof.   The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the shares and the warrants were approximately $5,006,000. 
 
In connection with the October 2010 Offering, we paid a transaction fee to finders in an amount of $244,000 in cash and issued them warrants to purchase 151,050 shares of our common stock.  We also agreed to file a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants within 60 days from closing.  The registration statement was filed and on December 10, 2010 it became effective.

On February 1, 2011, we closed a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 11,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase 0.4 of a share of common stock, at a purchase price of $3.25 per unit. The warrants in the offering will generally be exercisable for a period of five years commencing 6 months following issuance, at an exercise price of $4.20 per share.  Also, on February 1, 2011 we closed the exercise by the underwriters of their full overallotment option to purchase an additional 1,650,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 660,000 shares of common stock.  The net proceeds to us were approximately $38 million, after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts and estimated expenses payable by us associated with the offering.

During January 2011, 1,754,560 warrants were exercised in consideration for $3,082,190, and 570,982 warrants were exercised on a cashless basis for 287,231 shares of stock.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010 we received approximately $1,286,000 from the OCS towards our R&D expenses.  The OCS has supported our activity in the past five years. Our current program approved by the OCS is for the period March 2010 until February 2011.  On March 2011 we plan to file an application for a sixth year program. There is no assurance that the OCS will approve a grant for another year's R&D activity, the amount of the grant is also not certain.

We believe that the funds we have, together with the approved R&D grant from the OCS, will be sufficient for operating until at least the end of calendar year of 2013.

Our management believes that we may need to raise additional funds before we have cash flow from operations that can materially decrease our dependence on our existing cash and other liquidity resources. We are continually looking for sources of funding, including non-diluting sources such as the OCS grants.  We have an effective shelf registration statement which we used in a recent public offering we made and may continue to use in the future to raise additional funds.

Exhibit 4.2
 
WARRANT AGREEMENT
 
WARRANT AGREEMENT made as of February 1, 2011 (“Issuance Date”), between Pluristem Therapeutics Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company (“Warrant Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Company has sold units (“Units”), each consisting of one share of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company and 0.4 of a warrant, each whole warrant evidencing the right of the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $4.20, subject to adjustment as described herein (the “Warrants”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement between the Company and Oppenheimer & Co, Inc., as Representative of the Underwriters (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated January 27, 2011; and

WHEREAS, the Units and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (“Warrant Shares”) were issued by the Company in a public offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on  Form S-3, Registration No. 333-171334 (“Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange and exercise of the Warrants; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the Warrants; and
 
WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.          Appointment of Warrant Agent .  The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant Agreement.
 
2.          Warrants .
 
2.1       Form of Warrant .  Each Warrant shall be issued in registered form only, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein, and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board or President and Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, and shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal, if any. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.
 
 
 

 
 
2.2.        Effect of Countersignature .  Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.
 
2.3.        Registration .
 
2.3.1.   Warrant Register .  The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.  Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company.  The Warrants may be represented by definitive Warrant Certificates in physical form or by one or more book-entry warrant certificates (“Book-Entry Warrant Certificates”) deposited with the Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of the Depository.  Definitive Warrant Certificates shall be in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A .  Ownership of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Warrant Certificates shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained (i) by the Depository or its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate; (ii) by institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”); or (iii) directly on the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent with respect only to owners of beneficial interests that request such direct registration.
 
If the Depository subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding making other arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) days after the Depository ceases to make its book-entry settlement available.  In the event that the Company does not make alternative arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) days or the Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the Depository to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to the Depository definitive Warrant Certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants.
 
2.3.2.     Beneficial Owner; Registered Holder .  The term “beneficial owner” shall mean any person in whose name ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants evidenced by (a) a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate is recorded in the records maintained by the Depository or its nominee or (b) a definitive Warrant Certificate is recorded in the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (“registered holder”), as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
2.4.        Detachability of Warrants .  The securities comprising the Units will be issued separately and will be separately transferable immediately upon issuance.
 
2.5         Uncertificated Warrants .  Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else herein to the contrary, the Warrants may be issued in uncertificated form if so specified by the Company.

 
 

 
 
3.          Terms and Exercise of Warrants .
 
3.1.        Exercise Price .  Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $4.20 per whole share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof.  The term “Exercise Price” as used in this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.
 
3.2.        Duration of Warrants .  A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on August 1, 2011 (the “Initial Date”) and terminating at 5:00 P.M., Eastern time on the fifth yearly anniversary of the Initial Date (“Expiration Date”).  Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Warrant Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date.
 
3.3.        Exercise of Warrants .
 
3.3.1.     Exercise and Payment .  A registered holder may exercise a Warrant by delivering, not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on any Business Day during the Exercise Period (the “Exercise Date”) to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the Warrants to be exercised (the “Book-Entry Warrants”) free on the records of the Depository to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depository designated for such purpose in writing by the Warrant Agent to the Depository from time to time, (ii) an election to purchase the Shares underlying the Warrants to be exercised (“Election to Purchase”), properly completed and executed by the registered holder on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance with the Depository’s procedures, and (iii), except as provided in 3.3.8, the Warrant Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of the United States of America by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds.
 
If any of (A) the Warrant Certificate or the Book-Entry Warrants, (B) the Election to Purchase, or (C) the Warrant Price therefor, is received by the Warrant Agent after 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the specified Exercise Date, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date.  If the date specified as the Exercise Date is not a Business Day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. If the Warrants are received or deemed to be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent will be returned to the registered holder or Participant, as the case may be, as soon as practicable.  In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants. The validity of any exercise of Warrants will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion and such determination will be final and binding upon the registered holder and the Warrant Agent.  Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any obligation to inform a registered holder of the invalidity of any exercise of Warrants.
 
The Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Warrant Price in the account of the Company maintained with the Warrant Agent for such purpose and shall advise the Company at the end of each day on which funds for the exercise of the Warrants are received of the amount so deposited to its account.  The Warrant Agent shall promptly confirm such telephonic advice to the Company in writing.
 
 
 

 
 
3.3.2.     Issuance of Certificates .  The Warrant Agent shall, within a reasonable time, advise the Company and the transfer agent and registrar in respect of (a) the Shares issuable upon such exercise as to the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) the instructions of each registered holder or Participant, as the case may be, with respect to delivery of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, and the delivery of definitive Warrant Certificates, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise, (c) in case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the notation that shall be made to the records maintained by the Depository, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise and (d) such other information as the Company or such transfer agent and registrar shall reasonably require.

The Company shall, by 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the third Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (the “Warrant Shares Delivery Date”), execute, issue and deliver to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Shares to which such registered holder or Participant, as the case may be, is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such registered holder or the Participant, as the case may be.  Upon receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Warrant Agent shall, by 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the third Business Day next succeeding such Exercise Date, transmit such Warrant Shares to or upon the order of the registered holder or Participant, as the case may be.
 
In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise to the registered holder or the Participant by crediting the account of the registered holder’s prime broker with the Depository or of the Participant through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.  The time periods for delivery described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein.
 
If the Warrant Agent fails to comply with the preceding paragraphs in this Section 3.3.2 by the Warrant Shares Delivery Date, then the registered holder will have the right to rescind its exercise.

3.3.3.     Valid Issuance .  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Warrant Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
3.3.4.     Dividends .  The accrual of dividends, if any, on the Warrant Shares issued upon the valid exercise of any Warrant will be governed by the terms generally applicable to the Common Stock. From and after the issuance of such Warrant Shares, the former holder of the Warrants exercised will be entitled to the benefits generally available to other holders of Common Stock and such former holder’s right to receive payments of dividends and any other amounts payable in respect of the Warrant Shares shall be governed by, and shall be subject to, the terms and provisions generally applicable to the Common Stock.
 
3.3.5      No Fractional Exercise .  No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant.  As to any fraction of a Warrant Share which the registered holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value (as calculated below) less the Exercise Price.  If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, a new Warrant Certificate for the number of unexercised Warrants remaining shall be executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement, and delivered to the holder of this Warrant Certificate at the address specified on the books of the Warrant Agent or as otherwise specified by such registered holder. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depository, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise. 
 
 
 

 
 
3.3.6      No Transfer Taxes .  The Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or governmental charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Warrant Shares until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.
 
3.3.7      Date of Issuance .  Each person in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
 
3.3.8      Optional Cashless Exercise .  If at any time during the term of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares by the registered holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the registered 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 (as defined below) 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.

The term “ VWAP ” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market (as defined below), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (Eastern time), (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Warrant Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 
 

 
 
The term “ Trading Market ” means any of the following U.S. markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE, NYSE AMEX, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global Select Market (or any successors to any of the foregoing).
 
3.3.9     Disputes .  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the registered holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.
 
3.3.10     Limitations on Exercise .  The Warrant Agent shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a registered holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable exercise notice, the registered holder (together with the registered holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the registered holder or any of the registered 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 registered 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 (A) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the registered holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other equity equivalent securities) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the registered holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3.3.10, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), it being acknowledged by the registered holder that the Company is not representing to the registered holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the registered holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.3.10 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the registered holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the registered holder, and the submission of an exercise notice shall be deemed to be the registered holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the registered holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company and the Warrant Agent 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. For purposes of this Section 3.3.10, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a registered 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 as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a registered holder, the Company shall within three (3) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the registered 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 registered 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 registered holder, upon not less than sixty one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the registered holder and the provisions of this Section 3.3.10 shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this Section 3.3.10 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 
 

 
 
3.4.        Buy-in Procedures and Compensation .  If a certificate representing the Warrant Shares is not delivered pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3.2 on or prior to the Warrant Shares Delivery Date, and if after such date the registered holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the registered holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the registered holder of the Warrant Shares which the registered holder anticipated receiving upon exercise of the Warrant (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 given by written notice to the Company and the Warrant Agent, 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. The registered holder shall provide the Company and the Warrant Agent with written notice of the cash amounts referred to in the preceding sentence and, upon request of the Company, evidence thereof. Nothing herein shall limit a registered 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.
 
4.          Adjustments .
 
4.1.        Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock . If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
4.2.        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 registered holders of the Warrants) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP at 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 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 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 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.

 
 

 
 
4.3.        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 registered holders of the Warrants) 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, 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 so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the board of directors of the Company in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to each registered holder of the Warrants 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.

4.4.        Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person or entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person or entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the registered holders of the Warrants each  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, 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 merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. 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. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to each registered holder of the Warrants a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing such registered holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4  and ensuring that the Warrants (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, or the NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company or any successor entity shall pay at each registered holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, an amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (A) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (B) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for 30 day period immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of such transaction and the Termination Date.

 
 

 
 
4.5.        Notices .  

4.5.1.            Notices of Changes in Warrant . Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.  Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1 through 4.4, then, in any such event, the Company shall give written notice to each registered holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

4.5.2.            Notices of Certain Events to Allow Exercise .  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, of 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 each registered holder of a Warrant,  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. Each registered holder of a Warrant is entitled to exercise its Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
 
 
 

 
 
4.6.        Form of Warrant .  The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.  However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
 
5.          Transfer and Exchange of Warrants .
 
5.1.        Registration of Transfer .  The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer.  Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.  The Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.
 
5.2.        Procedure for Surrender of Warrants .  Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the registered holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided herein or in any Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate may be transferred only in whole and only to the Depository, to another nominee of the Depository, to a successor depository, or to a nominee of a successor depository; provided further, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.  Upon any such registration of transfer, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of any authorized denomination evidencing in the aggregate a like number of unexercised Warrants.
 
5.3.        Fractional Warrants .  The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a warrant.
 
5.4.        Service Charges .  No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.
 
5.5.        Warrant Execution and Countersignature .  The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

 
 

 
 
6.          Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Registered Holders of Warrants .
 
6.1.        No Rights as Stockholder .  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, a registered holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of a Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant Agreement be construed to confer upon a registered holder, solely in its capacity as the registered holder of a Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the registered holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of a Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant Agreement shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on a registered holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of a Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. A Warrant does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder.
 
6.2.        Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants .  If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed.  Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
 
6.3.        Reservation of Common Stock .  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.
 
6.4.        Noncircumvention . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its corporate charter, 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 the Warrants or this Warrant Agreement, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of the Warrants and this Warrant Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants, and (iii) shall, so long as the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

7.          Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters .
 
7.1.        Payment of Taxes .  The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares.

7.2.1.     Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent .  The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company.  If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of the Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost.  Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.  After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.
 
7.2.2.     Notice of Successor Warrant Agent .  In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.
 
7.2.3.     Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent .  Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement without any further act.
 
7.3.       Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent .

7.3.2.     Further Assurances .  The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

7.4.2.     Indemnity .  The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.  The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Warrant Agreement except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith.
 
7.4.3.     Exclusions .  The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Warrant Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make calculations under 3.3.8, 3.3.10 or any adjustments required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method, or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will when issued be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.
 
7.5.        Acceptance of Agency .  The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Warrant Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth and among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently account for, and pay to the Company, all moneys received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of shares of Common Stock through the exercise of Warrants.

7.6         Limitation on Liability of Warrant Agent .  In no event shall the Warrant Agent have any liability for any incidental, special, statutory, indirect or consequential damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or cost of cover.  The Warrant Agent’s liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate amount of all fees (excluding expenses) paid or payable under this Agreement in the twelve month period immediately preceding the date of the first event giving rise to liability.
 
8.          Miscellaneous Provisions .
