ACACIA RESEARCH CORPORATION

SERIES A WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Warrant No.:

Number of Shares of Common Stock: [●]

Date of Issuance: November 18, 2019 (“Issuance Date”)

Acacia Research Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [STARBOARD], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, (as defined below), [●([●])¹] fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein(the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Series A Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Series A Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”), shall have the meanings set forth in Section 18. This Warrant is one of the Series A Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “SPA Warrants”) issued pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2019 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein (as may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Insert an aggregate of 5,000,000 Warrant Shares (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common Stock occurring after the Subscription Date) to be allocated among the Buyers as set forth on the Schedule of Buyers attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

1.EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a)Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto asExhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. On or prior to the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Share Delivery Date (as defined below), the Holder shall either (A) pay to the Company an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) notify the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)), which notice may be included in the applicable Exercise Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the portion of this Warrant corresponding to the number of shares referenced in an Exercise Notice shall be deemed exercised by the Holder upon delivery to the Company of: (i) such Exercise Notice and (ii) unless the applicable Exercise Notice indicates such exercise is effected pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the applicable Aggregate Exercise Price. Noink-original Exercise Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Exercise Notice be required. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the first (1^st) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice, the Company shall send a confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the earlier of (i) the second (2nd) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case, following the date on which the Holder has delivered the Exercise Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has delivered the Exercise Notice (a “Share Delivery Date”) (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) has not been delivered by such date, the applicable Share Delivery Date shall be one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall (X) provided that the Warrant Shares are subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder or, if exercised via Cashless Exercise, can be immediately sold or transferred by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system, or (Y) otherwise, (i) issue, the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled, with such restrictive legends as shall be required pursuant to Section 4(y) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee in book-entry form at the Transfer Agent and (ii) deliver to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice a copy from the Company’s books

- 2 -

and records evidencing such issuance. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and payment of the applicable Aggregate Exercise Price (or delivery of notice of Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, 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. If this Warrant is physically submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Trading Days after delivery of this Warrant and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. While any SPA Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall use a transfer agent that participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) Program.

(b)Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $3.65, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c)Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If (I) on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date the Company shall fail to issue to a Holder in book-entry from at the Transfer Agent or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the applicable Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement so notify the Holder in writing (a “Notice Failure”) or (III) the Company fails to comply with its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to clause (ii) below, (unless such failure is due solely to the action or inaction of the Holder or an agent of the Holder) (each of the foregoing events, an “Exercise Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay damages to the Holder for each Trading Day of such Exercise Failure in an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the

- 3 -

Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which may have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if an Exercise Failure occurs, and if on or after the applicable Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock relating to the applicable Exercise Failure (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and otherout-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock, as applicable, and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of theBuy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable exercise. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof, but if the Holder exercises itsBuy-In right, then such remedy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for such Exercise Failure.

(d)Cashless Exercise.Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):


Net Number =		(A x B) - (A x C)
		B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:


A	=	the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B	=	the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C	=	the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

- 4 -

For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the 1933 Act, as in effect on the date hereof, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(e)Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

(f)Limitation on Exercises.

(1)Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the Series A Preferred Shares, the Series B Warrants and the other SPA Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its other Attribution Parties subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f)(1). For purposes of this Section 1(f)(1), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form10-K, Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, Current Report on Form8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant

- 5 -

to this Section 1(f)(1), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder shall notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any Exercise Price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. Until the Holder provides the notice regarding Reduction Shares to the Company, the Company shall not be required to take any further action in connection with such Exercise Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder delivered to the Company on to prior to 12:00 p.m. on any Trading Day, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant would result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and its other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership would exceed the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio and any portion of the Warrant so exercised shall be reinstated, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the Aggregate Exercise Price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares and shall not be otherwise liable to Holder. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 4.89% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and its other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f)(1) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f)(1) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(2)Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to receive any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, to the extent the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations and upon exercise of the SPA Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations

- 6 -

under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount. Until such approval is obtained, the Holder and the holders of the other SPA Warrants shall not be issued in the aggregate, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations and upon exercise of any SPA Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants issued to such Holder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying all Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants issued to the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date (with respect to each such holder of SPA Warrants, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any holder of SPA Warrants shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of the SPA Warrants sold or otherwise transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of SPA Warrants shall convert all of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares and exercise all of such holder’s SPA Warrants into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Shares and SPA Warrants then held by each such Holder.

(g)Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for this Warrant and the other SPA Warrants equal to 130% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to the this Warrant and the other SPA Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise set forth in Section 3(d) and analogous provisions under the other SPA Warrants and as such number may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2 and/or Section 3). So long as this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant and the other SPA Warrants, at least 130% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock specified above in this Section 1(g) as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant and all other SPA Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series A Preferred Shares and for the exercises of this Warrant, the other SPA Warrants and the Series B Warrants and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated among the Holder, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, the other SPA Warrants and the Series B Warrants pro rata based on the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding and upon exercise of this Warrant, the other SPA Warrants and the Series B Warrants then outstanding (in each case, without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise set forth in Section 1(f) and analogous provisions under the Certificate of Designations, the other SPA Warrants and the Series B Warrants) (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise

- 7 -

transfer this Warrant or any of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares, other SPA Warrants or Series B Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation with respect to such portion of Series A Preferred Shares, SPA Warrants and/or Series B Warrants sold or otherwise transferred. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Series A Preferred Shares, SPA Warrants or Series B Warrants shall be allocated to the Holder and the remaining holders of Series A Preferred Shares, SPA Warrants and Series B Warrants, pro rata based on the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding and upon exercise of the SPA Warrants and Series B Warrants then outstanding (in each case, without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise set forth in Section 1(f) and analogous provisions under the Certificate of Designations, the SPA Warrants and the Series B Warrants).

(h)Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant and the other SPA Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant and the other SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall either (x) obtain the written consent of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and provide each stockholder with an information statement with respect thereto or (y) hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C.

(i)Cash Payment. In the event that (i) the Company is unable to issue and deliver, from and after the earlier of the Stockholder Approval or the Stockholder Approval Deadline, shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents by virtue of the limitation of the Exchange Cap by operation of Section 1(f)(2), (ii) the Company does not issue and deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents by virtue of the Company not having a sufficient number of authorized shares as set forth in Section 1(g), (iii) any Exercise Default occurs for any reason other than the reasons set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), or (iv) the Company does not, from and after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, issue and deliver Freely Tradable Shares in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company shall pay cash by wire

- 8 -

transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder in writing to the Company, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date to the Holder in exchange for such number of shares of Common Stock that are not delivered or that are not Freely Tradable Shares, as applicable, upon exercise of this Warrant at a price equal to the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock and (y) the highest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock in effect at any time during the period beginning on the date the Holder delivers to the Company the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date the Company makes the payment provided for in this sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company is required to make a cash payment to a Holder pursuant to this Section 1(i), the Company shall upon and to the extent of such cash payment have satisfied its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon such exercise.

2.ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a)Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”)) equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(a), the following shall be applicable:

(i)Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share

- 9 -

of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option less any consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(ii)Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security less any consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Exercise Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(a), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii)Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price, which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

- 10 -

(iv)Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value of such Options. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt of such publicly traded securities. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of thenon-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 thenon-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, in each case determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. If the Required Holders object in writing to any determination of fair value by the Board of Directors pursuant to this subsection within five (5) Business Days of notice of such determination (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10^th) Business Day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any calculation pursuant to this Section 2(a)(iv) would result in an Exercise Price that is lower than the par value of the Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be deemed to equal the par value of the Common Stock.

(v)Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

- 11 -

(b)Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(c)Voluntary Adjustment by Company. The Company may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, 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.

(d)Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, as mutually determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Required Holders, so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Warrant;provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(e) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

3.RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, Options, evidence of Indebtedness (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time on or after the Issuance Date, then, in each such case:

(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

- 12 -

(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common stock) (“Other Shares of Common Stock”) of a company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the Exercise Price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

4.PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

(a)Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, 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 or restrictions on exercises of this Warrant, including, without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided,however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership or any other rights (except as set forth in this proviso) of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, 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).

(b)Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events; Put Right. Upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall succeed to the Company and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally succeed to the Company, and be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from

- 13 -

and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive securities, cash, assets or other property with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that, and any applicable Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall ensure that, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event that the Holder will have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event, shares of common stock or capital stock of the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, or if so elected by the Holder, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) the Holder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event (but not in lieu of such items still issuable pursuant to Sections 3 and 4(a), which shall continue to be receivable on the Common Stock or on such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares of Common Stock) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) (provided,however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to receive any such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity would result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to receive such shares to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership or any other rights (except as set forth in this proviso) of such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity as a result of such consideration to such extent) and the portion of such shares shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be delivered such shares to the extent as if there had been no such limitation). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

- 14 -

(c)Change of Control Put Right. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control, at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day after the occurrence or consummation of such Change of Control, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such Change of Control), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Change of Control.

5.NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
