5.40
or (ii) the price per share of any shares issued pursuant to a subsequent financing. The exercise price of such warrant is now $

The other warrant issued pursuant to the Howse Agreement is exercisable for

and all of the shares for which such warrant is exercisable shall vest upon the achievement of significant milestones (such warrant, the “Performance Warrant”)

The Performance Warrant is subject to certain corporate performance-related goals, as established by the Board’s Compensation Committee. For the Performance Warrant, the Company will recognize any related share-based compensation expense ratably over the service period based on the most probable outcome of the performance condition. The fair value of the Performance Warrant used in the Company’s expense recognition method is measured based on the number of non-vested warrants granted, the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an estimate of the probability of the achievement of the performance goals. The amount of share-based compensation expense recognized in any one period can vary based on the attainment or expected attainment of the performance goals. If such performance goals are not ultimately met, no compensation expense is recognized and any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed. If it becomes probable that the performance targets will be achieved, a cumulative adjustment will be recorded as if ratable share-based compensation expense had been recorded since the grant date.
 
In addition, pursuant to the Howse Agreement, if the Company raises capital in one or more financings from, or is acquired by, certain pre-approved investors or acquirors during Mr. Howse’s period of employment or within six months following termination of his employment, he is also entitled to 5% of the gross proceeds of such financings or acquisition (less any fees paid by the Company to any investment bank in connection with such transactions, up to 2.5% of such amount), 50% of which may be paid as a convertible note or preferred equity with the same terms as the participants in such transaction.
