This Warrant is the “Warrant Agreement” issued in accordance with that certain Products Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2011, between the Company and Holder (the “Agreement”). This Warrant is subject to the provisions and adjustments, and exercise hereof is subject to and will be made on the terms and conditions, hereinafter set forth.
     The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder of this Warrant and the terms and conditions to which this Warrant is subject, to which terms the Holder hereof, by acceptance of this Warrant, assents.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
     (a) The Warrant shall become exercisable in full on the first day immediately following the end of the Initial Term (as defined in the Agreement) (the “Exercise Date”). The exercise price for the Warrant Shares is $10.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”). On and after the Exercise Date, subject to the conditions set forth herein, this Warrant may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to time until the close of business on the Expiration Date (as defined below) by the Holder by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, accompanied by a signed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto and payment to the Company of the Exercise Price in the manner set forth below for each of the Warrant Shares intended to be purchased. Such payment shall be made by Holder to the Company in the form of cash, a certified or cashier’s check or by means of the cashless method described in Section 1(b) of this Warrant. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant shall not be deemed exercised until payment in full of the applicable Exercise Price for the

 


 

Warrant Shares to be purchased has been received by the Company as specified in this Section 1. The Warrant will expire at the earlier of (i) the close of business on the 90th day immediately following the completion of the Initial Term (as defined in the Agreement), or (ii) the termination of the Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 2.4 thereof (the earlier of such dates being the “Expiration Date”). If the Expiration Date shall occur prior to the Exercise Date, the Warrant shall expire without becoming exercisable.
     (b) The Holder may exercise the Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company on or before the Expiration Date together with a written notice of cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock determined as follows:
     
X =
  (Y x (A-B))/A
 
   
where:
 
   
X =
  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;
 
   
Y =
  the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised;
 
   
A =
  the average of the high and low trading prices per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the five trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the date of exercise.
 
   
B =
  the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
2. ADJUSTMENTS
     (a) In the event the Company shall (i) pay a dividend to the holders of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then (A) the number of Warrant Shares that, at such time, remain available for purchase pursuant to this Warrant (“Available Warrant Shares”) shall be adjusted so that such amount is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder would have owned immediately after such event had the number of Available Warrant Shares immediately prior to the occurrence of such event been owned on the record date for such event and (B) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after such event. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such record date or the day upon which such dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

     (b) In the event the Company shall (i) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of the Company of any class or series, (ii) merge or consolidate with or into another entity (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), (iii) sell or otherwise convey to another entity all or substantially all of the assets of the Company followed by the distribution of the proceeds thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or (iv) engage in a share exchange involving all or substantially all of the stock of the Company, then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant, instead of the Available Warrant Shares, the consideration which the Holder would have owned immediately after such event had the Available Warrant Shares been owned immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.
     (c) No adjustment shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one-tenth of a share in the number of Warrant Shares, or at least one-tenth of a cent in the Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason hereof is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
     (d) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. The number of shares issued shall instead be rounded down to the nearest whole share and any fractional share disregarded.
     (e) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.
     (f) The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Section 2.
3. FULLY PAID STOCK
     The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares delivered upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided shall, at the time of such delivery, be fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all liens and charges with respect to the purchase thereof. During the period within which this Warrant may be exercised for Common Stock, the Company will at all times have authorized, and hold in reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
