Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 3, 2015, Solar3D, Inc.  (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cowen & Company, LLC (the “Underwriter”), relating to the sale and issuance by the Company of 3,000,000 Units (the “Units”) to the Underwriter in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”). The shares of common stock and Warrants will be immediately separable and will be issued separately but will be sold together in the Offering. The Warrants will be exercisable during the period commencing from the date of issuance and ending on March 9, 2020 at an exercise price of $4.15 per share of common stock (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances). Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to purchase, and the Company has agreed to sell the Units at the public offering price of $4.15, less certain underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company has agreed to reimburse the Underwriter for certain of its out-of-pocket expenses.
 
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement are solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The Warrants will be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) between the Company and   Computershare Inc., and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. If a registration statement relating to the issuance of the shares underlying the Warrants is not then effective or available, a holder of the Warrants may exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis, where the holder receives the net value of the Warrant in shares of common stock. However, if an effective registration statement is available for the issuance of the shares underlying the warrants, a holder may only exercise the warrants through a cash exercise. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, including certain combinations, consolidations, liquidations, mergers, recapitalizations, reclassifications, reorganizations, stock dividends and stock splits, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets and certain other events. In the event of an extraordinary transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our common stock, we or any successor entity will pay at the holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days after the consummation of the extraordinary transaction, an amount of cash equal to the value of the Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model and the terms of the Warrants.

The Warrants contain full ratchet anti-dilution protection upon the issuance of any common stock, securities convertible into common stock or certain other issuances at a price below the then-existing exercise price of the Warrants, with certain exceptions.
 
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. Except as set forth in the respective warrant agreements, the Warrants do not confer upon holders any voting or other rights as stockholders of the Company.
 
The Company may at any time during the term of the Warrants reduce the then current exercise price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement and the Warrant Agent Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and Warrant Agent Agreement, a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 4.1, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 7.01.                    Other Events.
 
On March 3, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had launched the offering. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel), which firm shall be designated in writing by Cowen if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Underwriter Indemnified Party or by the Company if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties.  Subject to this Section 7(c), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 7 shall include, but not be limited to, (x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.  Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that is effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written consent, if its consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  In addition, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Sections 7(a) or 7(b) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty (30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
 
 
 

 
22
 
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Units, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 7(d) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this Section 7(d) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the Units purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of  the Prospectus.  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Underwriter’s Information as defined in Section 18.
 
 
 

 
23
 
(e) The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 7(d) above were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to Section 8(d) above.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to in Section 7(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Units exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act.  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.
 
8. Termination.  The obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be terminated by Cowen, in its absolute discretion by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Units if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 6(i), 6(k) or 6(l) have occurred or if the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement.
 
9. Reimbursement of Underwriter’s’ Expenses.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8, (b) the Company  shall fail to tender the Units for delivery to the Underwriter for any reason not permitted under this Agreement, (c) the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (d) the sale of the Units is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriter set forth herein is not satisfied or because of the refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions hereof, then in addition to the payment of amounts in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriter for the fees and expenses of Underwriter’s counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Units, including, without limitation, travel and lodging expenses of the Underwriter, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to Cowen.
 
10. RESERVED.
 
11. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
 
(a)           the Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature, Cowen has been retained solely to act as underwriter in connection with the sale of the Units and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and Cowen has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether Cowen has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;
 
 
 

 
24
 
(b)           the price of the Units set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with Cowen, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
 
(c)           it has been advised that Cowen and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that Cowen has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
 
(d)           it  waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against Cowen for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that Cowen shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.
 
12. Successors; Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriter, the Company and their respective successors and assigns.  Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons mentioned in the preceding sentence, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties, and the indemnities of the several Underwriters shall be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties.  It is understood that the Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature and the Underwriter does not owe the Company, or any other party, any fiduciary duty as a result of this Agreement.  No purchaser of any of the Units from the Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
 
13. Survival of Indemnities, Representations, Warranties, etc. The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Underwriter, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, the Company or any person controlling any of them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Units.  Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, including without limitation any termination pursuant to Section 8, the indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements forth in Sections 2, 5, 7 and 9 and Sections 12 through 21, inclusive, of this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect at all times.

Re:  Solar3D, Inc. – Registration Statement on Form S-3 for Shares of Common Stock and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
 
 
Dear Sirs:
 
This Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Solar3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen” or the “Underwriter”), relating to the proposed public offering of units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company and (ii) one warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock.
 
In order to induce you to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, and in light of the benefits that the offering of the Common Stock will confer upon the undersigned in its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer, director or employee of the Company, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Underwriter that, during the period beginning on the date hereof through and including the date that is the 90th day after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Cowen, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time (such shares, the “Beneficially Owned Shares”)) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or (iii) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.
 
If (i) the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the Lock-Up Period shall be extended and the restrictions imposed by this Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, except that such extension will not apply if, (i) the Common Stock is an “actively traded security” (as defined in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), (ii) the Company meets the applicable requirements of Rule 139(a)(1) under the Securities Act in the manner contemplated by NASD Conduct Rule 2711(f)(4) and (iii) the provisions of NASD Conduct Rule 2711(f)(4) do not restrict the publication or distribution, by the Underwriter, of any research reports relating to the Company during the 15 days before or after the last day of the Lock-Up Period (before giving effect to such extension).

The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to:
 
(1)           if the undersigned is a natural person, any transfers made by the undersigned (a) as a bona fide gift to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, (b) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned or (c) as a bona fide gift to a charity or educational institution,
 
(2)           if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfers to any stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned, as the case may be, if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value, and
 
(3)           if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfer made by the undersigned (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets, in any such case not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this agreement or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity so long as the transferee is an affiliate (as defined below) of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value;
 
provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2) or (3) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee executes and delivers to Cowen not later than one business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to Cowen, and (B) in the case of any transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above, if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares during the Lock-Up Period (as the same may be extended as described above), the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, such transfer is being made as a gift or by will or intestate succession or, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (2) above, such transfer is being made to a stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned and is not a transfer for value or, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (3) above, such transfer is being made either (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity that is an affiliate of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value.  For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the undersigned from exercising any options or warrants to purchase Common Stock (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis), it being understood that any Common Stock issued upon such exercises will be subject to the restrictions of this Agreement.
 
In order to enable this covenant to be enforced, the undersigned hereby consents to the placing of legends or stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent with respect to any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.
 
The undersigned further agrees that it will not, during the Lock-Up Period (as the same may be extended as described above), make any demand or request for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any shares of Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares.
 
This Agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
 
 
 

 
3
 
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this agreement and that this agreement has been duly authorized (if the undersigned is not a natural person), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned.  This agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such state.
 
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any public offering of Common Stock actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.

WARRANT AGREEMENT

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated March  [  ], 2015, between Solar3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Computershare”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, collectively as the “Warrant Agent”.
 
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) to acquire up to 3,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided herein, of common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”), of the Company (collectively, the “Warrant Shares”);
 
WHEREAS, each Warrant shall represent the right to purchase from the Company, at an initial price of $4.15 per share (the “Exercise Price”), the number of shares specified on the certificates evidencing the Warrants (the “Warrant Certificates”); and
 
WHEREAS, Warrant Agent is willing to serve as the Warrant Agent in connection with the issuance of Warrant Certificates and the other matters as provided herein.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for the purpose of defining the terms and provisions of the Warrants and the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the record holders from time to time of the Warrants (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”), the parties hereby agree as follows:

“Trading Day” means (i) a day on which the shares of Common Stock are traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT or other national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted, or (ii) if the shares of Common Stock are not listed on any such exchange or market, a day on which the shares of Common Stock are traded in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, or (iii) if the shares of Common Stock are not listed on any such exchange or market or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a day on which the shares of Common Stock are quoted in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or any similar organization or agency succeeding its functions of reporting prices); provided, that in the event that the shares of Common Stock are not listed or quoted as set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) hereof, then Trading Day shall mean a Business Day.
 
2. Form of Warrant Certificates.
 
(a)           The Warrant Certificates shall be issued in registered form only and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, shall be dated the date of issuance thereof (whether upon initial issuance, register of transfer, exchange or replacement) and shall not bear any restrictive legends. Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock specified on each Warrant Certificate shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, Treasurer or Secretary of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant Certificate before such Warrant Certificate 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.
 
(b)           Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant Certificate shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Warrant Certificate has been duly issued under the terms of this Agreement.  The Warrant Agent can sign by either manual or facsimile signature.
 
(c)           Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrant Certificates in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with written instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder of each Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of the Warrants represented thereby for the purpose of any exercise thereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual written notice to the contrary.
 
(d)           Registration of Transfers. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer of any portion of an outstanding Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached thereto properly completed and duly signed, to the Warrant Agent at its office designated for such purpose.  In connection with any such registration or transfer, a party requesting transfer of Warrants must provide any evidence of authority that may be required by the Warrant Agent, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association. Upon any such registration or transfer, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a new Warrant Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (any such new Warrant Certificate, a “New Warrant Certificate”), evidencing the portion of the Warrant Certificate so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the Warrant Certificate not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder subject to applicable law. In connection with a transfer, the Warrant Agent will require a signature guarantee form from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association. The delivery of the New Warrant Certificate by the Company to the transferee thereof shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange that will result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate for a fraction of a Warrant. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrant Certificates required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(d), and the Company, whenever requested by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

3. Term of Warrants. Warrants shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Issuance Date to and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00 p.m., New York time on the Expiration Date, any portion of a Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
 
4. Exercise of Warrants and Delivery of Warrant Shares.
 
(a)           A registered Holder may exercise the Warrants through a cashless exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”), which will be calculated by the Company and provided in writing to the Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 4(b) below if, and only if, an effective registration statement is not then available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares. If an effective registration statement is available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares, a registered Holder may only exercise the Warrants through a cash exercise (a “Cash Exercise”).
 
(b)           The Holder may effect a Cashless Exercise by indicating on a duly executed Election to Purchase that the Holder wishes to effect a Cashless Exercise, upon which the Company shall issue, or cause to be issued, to the
Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 
X = Y x (A-B)/A
 
where:      X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant Certificates are being exercised;
 
A = the Market Price as of the Date of Exercise; and
 
B = the Exercise Price.
 
Upon receipt of an Election to Purchase indicating a Cashless Exercise, the Warrant Agent will promptly deliver a copy of the Election to Purchase to the Company to confirm the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with the Cashless Exercise. The Company shall calculate and transmit to the Warrant Agent in a written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty, responsibility or obligation to calculate, the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with any Cashless Exercise. The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any such written notice provided by the Company, and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such written instructions or pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall provide the Warrant Agent with the cost basis for all securities issued pursuant to such Cashless Exercise prior to the issuance of such securities. In the event of a Cash Exercise, the Company hereby instructs the Warrant Agent to record cost basis for newly issued securities as the Exercise Price thereof.
 
(c)           Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Warrants may be exercised by the Holder thereof on any day on or after the Initial Exercise Date but prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time on the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, upon delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Election to Purchase in the form attached hereto (with the Warrant Shares Exercise Log attached) to the Warrant Agent, pursuant to the notice provision set forth in Section 13, and, in the case of a Cash Exercise, assuming that payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase thereunder (which must be a whole number) in accordance with Section 9 is paid (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) within two (2) Trading Days after delivery of a duly executed Election to Purchase; provided, that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to deliver the Warrant Shares to a Holder upon a Cash Exercise prior to the receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price with respect to such Cash Exercise. The Company shall, within three Trading Days of the Date of Exercise, at the option of the Holder (i) to the extent that the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause the Transfer Agent to credit the aggregate Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian System, or (ii) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the Holder, or at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Election to Purchase, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case pursuant to this clause (ii), sent by reputable overnight courier to the address specified in the applicable Form of Election to Purchase, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Election to Purchase), for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of a duly executed Election to Purchase, the Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of the relevant Warrant Certificate, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). For so long as there is a then effective registration statement covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares or if a Holder effects a Cashless Exercise, the Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all restrictive legends, and the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, if available, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If fewer than all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant Certificate are purchased on such Date of Exercise, then the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder or its assigns a New Warrant Certificate (dated the date thereof) evidencing the unexercised portion of the relevant Warrant Certificate.

(d)           A Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants, pursuant to this Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares or any other security otherwise deliverable pursuant to such exercise, as set forth on the applicable Election to Purchase, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 13e-3 of the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, an “Affiliate”), and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates), would have Beneficial Ownership (as defined below) of more than 19.999% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other class of equity security (other than an exempted security) that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (a “Class”) (the “19.999% Ownership Limitation”).
 
(e)           Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 4(d) above, during any period of time in which a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock or any other Class (excluding, for purposes of this calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and any other warrants issued contemporaneously with the Warrants) is less than 10%, a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants, pursuant to this Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares or any other security otherwise deliverable pursuant to such exercise, as set forth on the applicable Form of Election to Purchase, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates), would have Beneficial Ownership of more than 9.999% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class (the “9.999% Ownership Limitation”).
 
(f)           Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections 4(d) and (e) above, during any period of time in which a Holder’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock or any other Class (excluding, for purposes of this calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and any other warrants issued contemporaneously with the Warrants) is less than 5%, a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants, pursuant to this Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares or any other security otherwise deliverable pursuant to such exercise, as set forth on the applicable Election to Purchase, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates), would have Beneficial Ownership of more than 4.999% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class (the “4.999% Ownership Limitation”).

(g)           For purposes of subsections 4(d) through (f) above, unless otherwise indicated, the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class “Beneficially Owned” by a Holder and its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with a Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) shall include the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of the Warrants beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of  any other securities of the Company exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock or any other Class that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of subsections 4(d) through (f), Beneficial Ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by each Holder that the Company is not representing to any Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and each Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that a limitation contained in subsections 4(d) through (f) applies, the determination of whether the Warrants owned by a Holder are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates)) and of which portion of the Warrants owned by such Holder is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of an Election to Purchase to the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Warrants owned by such Holder are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any of its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates)) and of which portion of such Warrants are exercisable, in each case subject to the 19.999% Ownership Limitation, 9.999% Ownership Limitation or 4.999% Ownership Limitation, as applicable, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of subsections 4(d) through (f), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock or such other Class outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall, within three Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Class then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Warrants, by the Holder or its Affiliates (and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other Class was reported.
 
(h)          A Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase either or both of the 4.999% Ownership Limitation and the 9.999% Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of the 19.999% Ownership Limitation. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. A Holder may decrease either or both of the 4.999% Ownership Limitation and the 9.999% Ownership Limitation upon prior notice to the Company.
 
(i)           The provisions of subsections 4(d) through (h) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with their terms in order to correct any portion thereof which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitations therein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitations. The limitations contained in subsections 4(d) through (h) shall apply to a successor holder of the Warrants.

(j)           Upon receipt of an Election to Purchase, the Warrant Agent shall advise the Company in respect of (a) the number of Warrant Shares indicated on the Election to Purchase as issuable upon such exercise with respect to such exercised Warrants, (b) the instructions of each registered holder provided to the Warrant Agent 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, and (c) such other information as the Company shall reasonably request. Upon receipt of such information from the Warrant Agent, and clearance of any funds received in payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly at its expense cause to be issued to the holder of such Warrants the total number of Warrant Shares for which such Warrants are being exercised. The Company shall calculate and transmit to the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under this Agreement to calculate, the number of Warrant Shares or other securities or other consideration to be issued or paid upon any such exercise, and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether any such determination made by the Company is accurate or correct. All funds received by Computershare under this Agreement that are to be distributed or applied by Computershare in the performance of its duties hereunder (the “Funds”) shall be held by Computershare as agent for the Company and deposited in one or more bank accounts to be maintained by Computershare in its name as agent for the Company. Until paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Computershare will hold the Funds through such accounts in: deposit accounts of commercial banks with Tier 1 capital exceeding $1 billion or with an average rating above investment grade by S&P (LT Local Issuer Credit Rating), Moody’s (Long Term Rating) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (LT Issuer Default Rating) (each as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P.). Computershare shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of the Funds that may result from any deposit made by Computershare in accordance with this paragraph, including any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party. Computershare may from time to time receive interest, dividends or other earnings in connection with such deposits. Computershare shall not be obligated to pay such interest, dividends or earnings to the Company, any holder or any other party. The Warrant Agent shall forward funds received for Warrant exercises in a given month by the 5th Business Day of the following month by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company.

(l)           In the case of a dispute as to Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in the event of a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall submit the disputed arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Election to Purchase giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder  or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company's independent, outside accountant.  The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.  Such investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.  In the case of any dispute over the number of Warrant Shares to be issued, the Company shall cause the Warrant Agent to deliver the number of Warrant Shares not in dispute.  Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent shall not be required to act and shall not be held liable or responsible for refusing to act until the dispute has been settled.
 
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, or transfer agent fee in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liabilities that may arise as a result of holding or transferring any Warrant Certificate or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise thereof. The Warrant Agent may refrain from registering any transfer or issue or delivery of any Warrant Certificates unless and until the persons requesting the registration or issuance shall have paid to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company the amount of such tax or charge, if any, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Warrant Agent that such tax or charge, if any, has been paid.
 
6. Replacement of Warrant Certificate. If any Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Warrant Agent shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution for such Warrant Certificate, a New Warrant Certificate, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and an open penalty surety bond satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and holding the Warrant Agent and Company harmless, absent written notice to the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificates have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser.  The Warrant Agent may, at its option, issue replacement Warrant Certificates for mutilated Warrant Certificates upon presentation thereof without such indemnity.
 
7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of all outstanding Warrants as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8). 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 and issued, and be fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company shall provide an opinion of counsel prior to the Initial Issuance Date. The opinion shall state that all Warrants or Warrant Shares, as applicable, are (i) registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or are exempt from such registration, and all appropriate state securities law filings have been made with respect to the warrants or shares; and (ii) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant then outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 8; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under any Section of this Agreement to determine whether an adjustment event has occurred or to calculate any of the adjustments set forth herein.

(a)            Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser 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, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
(b)            Extraordinary Transactions. If, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (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 by the Company 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 and, in each case, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the Successor Entity (as defined below) or an affiliate of the Successor Entity of such transaction (in any such case, an “Extraordinary Transaction”), then each Holder’s Warrants will become the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of his or her Warrants, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Extraordinary Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Extraordinary Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of the relevant Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”) in lieu of Common Stock. The aggregate Exercise Price for each Warrant will not be affected by any such Extraordinary Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate 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 an Extraordinary Transaction, then each Holder, to the extent practicable, shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of his or her Warrant following such Extraordinary Transaction. In addition, at the request of each Holder, upon surrender of such Holder’s Warrant, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Extraordinary Transaction shall issue to such Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. Each Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to an Extraordinary Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of an Extraordinary Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (as defined below) assumes a Holder’s Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded common stock of such Successor Entity, the Company or any Successor Entity shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Extraordinary Transaction, purchase such Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of such Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Extraordinary Transaction. As used herein, (A) “Black Scholes Value” means the value of the Holder’s Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on the Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Extraordinary Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (1) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the closing of the applicable Extraordinary Transaction and the Expiration Date, (2) an expected volatility equal to the lesser of 100% or the 90-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Extraordinary Transaction, (3) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Extraordinary Transaction and (4) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the closing of the applicable Extraordinary Transaction and the Expiration Date; (B) “Successor Entity” means the Person (or, if so elected by the Holder, the Parent Entity (as defined below)) formed by, resulting from or surviving any Extraordinary Transaction or the Person (or, if so elected by the Holder, the Parent Entity) with which such Extraordinary Transaction shall have been entered into; (C) “Eligible Market” means the NYSE MKT, The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board (or any successors to any of the foregoing); and (D) “Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of the Extraordinary Transaction. For purposes of the foregoing, the value of any non-cash consideration in any Extraordinary Transaction will be determined in good faith by the Board or the Board of Directors of the Successor Entity.

(c)           Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of each Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, as the case may be, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted 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 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
 
(e)           Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Company at its expense will reasonably promptly calculate such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Warrant Shares or type of Alternate Consideration issuable upon exercise of each Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will reasonably promptly deliver to each Holder who makes a request in writing and to the Warrant Agent, a copy of each such certificate. Until such written certificate is received by the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent may presume conclusively for all purposes that no such adjustments have been made, and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether any of the Company’s determination are accurate or correct. The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, any certificate, notice or instructions provided by the Company with respect to any adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, or any related matter, and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with any such certificate, notice or instructions or pursuant to this Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it shall have received written notice thereof from the Company. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment hereunder, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof (including any of the rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the Warrant Agent), 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.
 
(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 (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or (ii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent and each Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such dividend, distribution or transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(f), the failure to deliver any notice under this Section 8(f) or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. Until the exercise of its, his or her Warrant or any portion of such Warrant, a Holder shall not have nor exercise any rights by virtue of ownership of a Warrant as a stockholder of the Company (including without limitation the right to notification of stockholder meetings or the right to receive any notice or other communication concerning the business and affairs of the Company other than as provided in this Section 8(f)).
 
(g)           Subsequent Equity Sales.
 
(i). Except as provided in subsection (g)(iii) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with any of subsections (g)(ii)(l) through (g)(ii)(6) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined below) for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each such case (a “Trigger Issuance”) the then-existing Exercise Price shall be reduced as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price per share equal to (A) the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance, divided by (B) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued in the Trigger Issuance, in each case, pursuant to subsections (g)(ii)(1) through (g)(ii)(6) below; provided, however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price, after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance, be greater than the then-existing Exercise Price. For purposes of this subsection (g), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to this subsection (g), other than Exempt Issuances (as defined in subsection (g)(iii) hereof).

(ii). For purposes of this subsection 8(g), the following subsections (g)(ii)(l) to (g)(ii)(6) shall also be applicable:
 
(1) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible Securities”), whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional  consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities.
 
Except as otherwise provided in subsection 8(g)(ii)(3), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
 
(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 8(g)(ii)(3), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of Section 8(g).
 
 
9

 
 
(3) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 8(g)(ii)(1) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(g)(ii)(1) or 8(g)(ii)(2), or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(g)(ii)(1) or 8(g)(ii)(2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (excluding changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this Section 8(g) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this Section 8(g) (including, without limitation, upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.
 
(4) Consideration for Stock. If any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Option Value (as defined below) thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received or receivable by the Company minus (II) the Option Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable).  If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, for purposes of calculating the consideration paid for the Options or Convertible Securities (but not the Option Value thereof), the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average prices of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities (but not the Option Value thereof) will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.  For purposes hereof, “Option Value” means the value of the applicable Option or Convertible Security (as the case may be) as of the date of issuance thereof calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg utilizing (i) an underlying price per share equal to the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the execution of definitive documents with respect to the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security (as the case may be), (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of such Option or Convertible Security (as the case may be) as of the date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security (as the case may be) and (iii) an expected volatility equal to 40%.
 
(5) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter such Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 8(g) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
 
 
10

 
 
(6) Treasury Shares. 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 or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 8(g).
 
(iii). Exempt Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 8(g) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. For the purposes of the Warrants, “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, restricted stock units, Options or common stock equivalents to employees, consultants officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any existing or future stock option, restricted stock, stock purchase or other equity compensation plan or arrangement, including, without limitation, employee inducement awards and deferred compensation arrangements, duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, and the issuance of Common Stock in respect of such Convertible Securities, restricted stock units, Options or common stock equivalents, (b) securities (including Common Stock and common stock equivalents) upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities (including Convertible Securities and Options, and including the issuance of Common Stock in full satisfaction of any interest or coupon make-whole payments due in connection therewith) issued and outstanding on the date hereof, including the Warrants, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date hereof to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities, (c) securities issued (including Options and Convertible Securities) or the filing of a registration statement by the Company in connection with or in accordance with any Shareholder Rights Agreement as may be entered into from time to time by the Company to implement a so-called poison pill as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified, (d) securities issued (i) pursuant to acquisitions of businesses, entities, rights or other assets, (ii) in connection with strategic transactions, including joint ventures, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements or technology license, transfer or development arrangements, and (iii) pursuant to any equipment leasing or loan arrangement, credit financing or debt financing (and the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of such securities, if applicable), in each case, approved by the Board and not primarily for the purpose of raising capital, as determined in good faith by the Board, (e) securities issued to vendors, consultants and service providers of the Company as compensation or to settle bona fide trade liabilities, and (f) securities issued in a transaction described in Section 8(a) or 8(b) above.
 
(h) Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction), except to the extent an adjustment was already made pursuant to Section 8(a) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Company shall reserve and put aside the maximum Distribution amount the Holder would have been entitled to receive if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the 19.999% Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution. Upon exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Company shall, contemporaneously with the delivery of the Warrant Shares, distribute to the Holder a pro rata portion of such Distribution based on the portion of the Warrant that has been exercised (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the 19.999% Ownership Limitation, the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution at such time and to such extent (or to beneficially own any such Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the 19.999% Ownership Limitation, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any other Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
 
 
11

 
 
(i) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the 19.999% Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the 19.999% Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or to beneficially own any such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the 19.999% Ownership Limitation, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
 
(j) Voluntary Adjustment by the Company.  The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
9. Payment of Exercise Price. In the event of a Cash Exercise, the Holder shall pay the Aggregate Exercise Price by paying, in lawful money of the United States, by wire transfer, certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Warrant Agent (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company) delivered to the Warrant Agent together with the Election to Purchase. A registered Holder may exercise the Warrants through a Cashless Exercise on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.
 
10. Holder not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a Holder, shall not be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in the Warrants be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a Holder, 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 subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of the Warrants.
 
11. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Market Price on the Date of Exercise. Computershare shall not have any obligation to make any payments in lieu of fractional shares unless and until it receives specific written instructions to do so from the Company (including payment amounts and any necessary calculations). The Company shall provide an initial funding of one thousand dollars ($1000) for the purpose of issuing cash in lieu of fractional shares. From time to time thereafter, Computershare may request additional funding to cover fractional payments. Computershare shall have no obligation to make fractional payments unless the Company shall have provided the necessary funds to pay in full all amounts due and payable with respect thereto
 
12. Exchange Act Filings. The Holder agrees and acknowledges that it shall have sole responsibility for making any applicable filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act as a result of its acquisition of any Warrant and the Warrant Shares and any future retention or transfer thereof.

14. Warrant Agent.
 
(a)           The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act  as agent of the Company in accordance with the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
 
 
13

 
 
(b)           The Warrant Agent shall not by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation as to validity or authorization of the Warrants or the Warrant Certificates (except as to its countersignature thereon) or of any securities or other property delivered upon exercise of any Warrant, or as to the number or kind or amount of securities or other property deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant or the correctness of the representations of the Company made in such certificates that the Warrant Agent receives.
 
(c)           The Warrant Agent shall not have any duty to calculate or determine any required adjustments with respect to the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares or the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable by Holders upon the exercise of Warrants, nor to determine the accuracy or correctness of any such calculation.
 
(d)           The Warrant Agent shall not (i) be liable for any recital or statement of fact contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in the belief that any Warrant Certificate or any other document or any signature is genuine or properly authorized, (ii) be responsible for any failure by the Company to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates, (iii) be liable for any act or omission in connection with this Agreement except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) or (iv) have any responsibility to determine whether a transfer of a Warrant complies with applicable securities laws.
 
(e)           The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Treasurer, or the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and to apply to any such officer for written instructions (which will then be reasonably promptly given) and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the instructions of any such officer, except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), but in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such or may require such further or additional evidence as it may deem reasonable.
 
(f)           The Warrant Agent may exercise any of the rights and powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys, agents or employees, provided that a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction has not determined that the Warrant Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in the continued employment of any persons. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty to institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or legal proceeding in respect hereof, unless first indemnified to its satisfaction. The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
 
(g)           The Company will take such action as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent in order to enable it to carry out or perform its duties under this Agreement.
 
(h)           The Warrant Agent shall act solely as agent of the Company hereunder. The Warrant Agent shall only be liable for the failure to perform such duties as are specifically set forth herein.
 
(i)           The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel satisfactory to it (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.
 
(j)           The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent hereunder as the Company and the Warrant Agent may agree from time to time, and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, delivery, execution, modification, waiver, delivery, enforcement, amendment or administration of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and expenses of its counsel), and further agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder.
 
 
14

 
 
(k)           The Warrant Agent, and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or its Affiliates or become pecuniarily interested in transactions in which the Company or its Affiliates may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other Person.
 
(l)            No resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent and no appointment of a successor warrant agent shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor warrant agent as provided herein. The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liability hereunder (except liability arising as a result of the Warrant Agent’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)) after giving written notice to the Company. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent upon written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon in like manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except as aforesaid. The Warrant Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, cause to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to each Holder of a Warrant at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company maintained by the Warrant Agent a copy of said notice of resignation or notice of removal, as the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal, the Company shall appoint in writing a new warrant agent. If the Company fails to do so within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent or after such removal, then the resigning Warrant Agent or the Holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant agent. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the new warrant agent, it shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall give notice thereof to the resigning or removed Warrant Agent. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 14(l), however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a new warrant agent, as the case may be.
 
(m)           Any Person into which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent may be merged or converted or any Person resulting from any consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any Person to which the Warrant Agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareowner services business shall be a successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act, provided that such Person (i) would be eligible for appointment as successor to the Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 14(l) or (ii) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Warrant Agent. 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 each Holder in accordance with Section 13.
 
(n)           The Company covenants and agrees to indemnify and to hold the Warrant Agent harmless against, any costs, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel), losses or damages, which may be paid, incurred or suffered by or to which it may become subject, arising from or out of, directly or indirectly, any claims or liability resulting from its actions as Warrant Agent pursuant hereto; provided, that such covenant and agreement does not extend to, and the Warrant Agent shall not be indemnified with respect to, such costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred or suffered by the Warrant Agent as a result of, or arising out of, its own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
 
(o)           From time to time, the Company may provide the Warrant Agent with written instructions concerning the services performed by the Warrant Agent hereunder. In addition, at any time the Warrant Agent may apply to any officer of the Company for written instruction, and may consult with legal counsel for the Warrant Agent or the Company with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Warrant Agent under this Agreement. The Warrant Agent and its agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by the Company for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in reliance upon any Company instructions or upon the advice or opinion of such counsel. The Warrant Agent shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person, until receipt of written notice thereof from the Company.
 
(p)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability during any term of this Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts paid hereunder by the Company to the Warrant Agent as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses, during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from the Warrant Agent is being sought.
 
 
15

 
 
(q)           All rights and obligations contained in this Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement, incapacity or removal of the Warrant Agent. All fees and expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent prior to the resignation, replacement, incapacity or removal of the Warrant Agent shall be paid by the Company in accordance with Section 14(j) notwithstanding such resignation, replacement, incapacity or removal of the Warrant Agent.
 
(r)           In no event shall the Warrant Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.
 
(s)           In the event the Warrant Agent believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Warrant Agent hereunder, Warrant Agent, may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Company or any Holder or other person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Warrant Agent receives written instructions signed by the Company that eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Warrant Agent.
 
(t)           The Warrant Agent shall not be required to use or risk its own funds in the performance of any of its obligations or duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, and shall not be required to take any action which, in the Warrant Agent’s sole and absolute judgment, could involve it in expense or liability unless furnished with security and indemnity satisfactory to it.
 
15. Miscellaneous.
 
(a)           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders, and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Agreement.
 
(b)           Amendments and Waivers. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, by supplemental agreement or otherwise, add to the covenants and agreements of the Company for the benefit of the Holders, or surrender any rights or power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Agreement; provided that, such changes or corrections shall not adversely affect the interests of Holders of then outstanding Warrants in any material respect.

WARRANTS TO ACQUIRE COMMON STOCK OF SOLAR3D, INC.
 
This Warrant Certificate certifies that             , or registered assigns, is the registered holder of a Warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire from Solar3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) specified above for consideration equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below)) per share of Common Stock. The Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock and/or type of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall not be exercisable after and shall terminate and become void as of 5:00 P.M., New York time, on March 9, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”).
 
The Warrant evidenced by this Warrant Certificate is part of a duly authorized issue of warrants expiring on the Expiration Date entitling the Holder hereof to receive shares of Common Stock, and is issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated March  [  ], 2015 (the “Warrant Agreement”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A, as warrant agent (together, the “Warrant Agent”, which term includes any successor warrant agent under the Warrant Agreement), which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the Holders (“Holders” meaning, from time to time, the registered holders of the warrants issued thereunder). To the extent any provisions of this Warrant Certificate conflicts with any provision of the Warrant Agreement, the provisions of the Warrant Agreement shall apply. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the Holder hereof upon written request to the Company at 26 West Mission Avenue, Suite 8, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Attn: Chief Executive Officer. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agreement.
 
This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 9, 2015 and on or before the Expiration Date, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 4 thereof, by delivering the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 4 of the Warrant Agreement, if applicable. Each exercise must be for a whole number of Warrant Shares. In the event that upon any exercise of the Warrant evidenced hereby the number of shares of Common Stock acquired shall be less than the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to this Warrant, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the unexercised portion of this Warrant shall be registered in the name of the Holder hereof or such Holder’s assignee.
 
The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the Exercise Price set forth in this Warrant Certificate may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted, and that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of shares of Common Stock and/or the type of securities or other property issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted.

RE:           Solar3D, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-3
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Solar3D, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-200541) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and declared effective by the Commission on January 12, 2015 (the “Original Registration Statement”), the prospectus included therein (the “Prospectus”), the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated March 3, 2015, (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) and the final prospectus supplement, dated March 3, 2015 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Securities Act.
 
The Prospectus Supplement pertains to an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated March 3, 2015 between the Company and Cowen and Company, LLC (the “Underwriting Agreement”) and relates to the issuance an aggregate of 3,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share (each, a “Share”) of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) of the Company and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.15 per share (each, a “Warrant”).  The aggregate of 3,000,000 shares so proposed to be sold is hereinafter referred to as the “Stock” and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Stock.” The Warrant Stock, together with the Stock and the Warrants are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities.” We understand that the Units are to be sold, as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K to which this opinion is attached as Exhibit 5.1.

As such counsel and for purposes of our opinion set forth herein, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, resolutions, certificates and instruments of the Company, certificates of public officials and such other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein, including, without limitation: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Prospectus; (iii) the Prospectus Supplement, (iii) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, and (iv) the Company’s Bylaws.

In our examination of the foregoing and in rendering the opinion set forth herein, we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification: (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us; (ii) the authenticity and completeness of all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us as originals; (iii) that all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us as certified, electronic, facsimile, conformed, photostatic or other copies conform to authentic originals thereof, and that such originals are authentic and complete; (iv) the legal capacity and authority of all persons or entities executing all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us; (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents by all parties thereto; (vi) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and other persons on which we have relied for the purposes of this opinion letter are true and correct; and (vii) that the officers and directors of the Company have properly exercised their fiduciary duties. As to all questions of fact material to the opinion set forth herein and as to the materiality of any fact or other matter referred to herein, we have relied (without independent investigation) upon representations and certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.
 
GRAPHIC
 
 

 
 
Based upon the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the following opinions:
 
1.
The Stock is duly authorized and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
2.
The Warrants are duly authorized and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in the manner contemplated by the respective Warrant Agreements, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
 
3.
The Warrant Stock is duly authorized and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the respective terms thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Without limiting any of the other limitations, exceptions and qualifications stated elsewhere herein, we express no opinion with regard to the applicability or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Delaware General Corporation Law (based solely upon our review of a standard compilation thereof) as in effect as of the date hereof. This opinion letter deals only with the specified legal issues expressly addressed herein, and you should not infer any opinion that is not explicitly stated herein from any matter addressed in this opinion letter.
We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm therein and in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. This opinion letter speaks as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person with regard to any change in the circumstances or the law that may bear on the matters set forth herein after the date hereof, even though the change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or other matters in this opinion letter.
 
 
 

Very truly yours,
