10.

Compliance with Securities Laws.  

(a)

The Holder of this Warrant represents and warrants that this Warrant and the Units or Units to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Units or Units to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act or any state securities laws. Holder understands that no public market currently exists for the Warrant or Warrant Units (collectively, the “Securities”) and that there are no assurances that any such market will be created. Holder specifically acknowledges and understands that certificates representing the Securities will bear substantially all of the legends set forth in this Warrant, in addition to any other legends required by this Warrant or otherwise.  Holder has full power and authority to deliver these representations and warranties in relation to the Holder’s purchase of the Securities. Holder is an “accredited” investor as that term is defined under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act” or “Securities Act”), and neither Holder nor any person or entity with whom Holder Units beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities, is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act. Holder acknowledges that the Company is entitled to rely on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties and that the foregoing representations and warranties will survive Holder’s admission as a Unitholder of the Company. Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any affiliate or agent of the Company has made any representations, warranties or covenants to Holder. If Holder is not a United States person as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), Holder hereby represents that Holder has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of the Warrant, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained in connection with such purchase, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities.  Holder’s purchase and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Warrant Units will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Holder’s jurisdiction. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing the foregoing representations, in a form satisfactory to the Company, including but not limited to that the Units so purchased are being acquired solely for



4




the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale. Holder represents and warrants that the above acknowledgements, representations and agreements are true and accurate as of the date hereof.  Holder also agrees to inform the Company should any of the information contained in these representations and warranties cease to be true and/or accurate.  Holder acknowledges that in the event it does not inform the Company of any change to the information contained in these representations and warranties, the Company and its respective professional advisers will be entitled to continue to rely on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties until and including the date the Holder purchases the Securities.

(b)

This Warrant and all Units or Units issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any other legend required by state securities laws or the terms of this Warrant):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, SUCH SECURITIES AND ANY SECURITIES ISSUED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.

11.

 Adjustment.  

(a)

Reclassification, etc.  If the Company at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities, or reorganization of any kind or otherwise, change any of the securities to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter be to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification, reorganization or other change.  If Units of the Company's Units are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of Units, the purchase price under this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of Units or proportionately increased in the case of combination of Units and the number of Units purchasable under this Warrant shall be proportionally increased in the case of a subdivision and decreased in the case of combination, in all cases by the ratio which the total number of Units to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of Units outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(b)

Cash Distributions.  No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the Company's Units or other securities purchasable hereunder will be made to the purchase price under this Warrant.

(c)

Authorized Units.  The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Units a sufficient number of Units to provide for the issuance of Units upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this



5




Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing Unit certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Units of the Company's Units upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.

6




this subsection shall continue to apply until the end of the third trading day following the expiration of the 15-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, the Public Registration Lock-Up shall only apply to the Warrant Units if all officers and directors of the Company with respect to all Units owned beneficially and/or of record by all such persons are subject to substantially identical restrictions with respect to all Units owned beneficially and/or of record by such persons.
