Termination Date, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice
of exercise form (the “ Notice of Exercise ”)
attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal
office of the Company, and by payment to the Company of an amount

Holder, by (i) wire transfer or certified check payable to the
order of the Company, (ii) cancellation by the Holder of
indebtedness or other obligations of the Company to the Holder or
(iii) a combination of (i) and (ii). The person or
persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares
shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to
have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented

immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates
upon which this Warrant is exercised.
(b) Net Issue Exercise . In
lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 1
(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares
equal to the value (as determined below) of such portion of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with
the Notice of Cashless Exercise annexed hereto as Exhibit C
duly executed; provided that the Net Issue Exercise set forth in
this Section 1(b) is subject to adjustments set forth in
Section 4 of this Warrant. In such event, the Company shall

(c) Fair Market Value . For
purposes of this Section 1, the fair market value of the

Market or in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the closing
price quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed,
whichever is applicable, as published in the The Wall Street
Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of
determination of fair market value;
-2-
(ii) If the Company’s Common
Stock is not traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or Over-The-Counter
or on an exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock per
share shall be agreed upon by the parties hereto. If the parties
cannot agree on the fair market value within five (5) business
days of delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Board of Directors
of the Company in good faith shall determine the fair market value
of the Common Stock; provided, however, that the fair market value
of the Common Stock shall be no greater than the price at which the
Company last sold its Common Stock or the exercise price of its
last granted options, whichever occurs later.
(d) Stock Certificates . In
the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant, as promptly as practicable on or after the date of
exercise and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the
Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or
persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates
for the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event
this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the
number of Shares for which this Warrant may then be
exercised.
(e) Taxes . The issuance of
the Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of
certificates or other instruments representing such Shares, shall
be made without charge by the Company to the Holder for any tax or
other charge in respect of such issuance.

Warrant may be exchanged upon presentation and surrender to the

Holder exercisable for the aggregate number of Shares as the
warrant or warrants surrendered.
(b) Replacement of Warrant .
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in
the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of
an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount
to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its
expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of
like tenor.

transferees) and charges payable in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this
Section 2 .

Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or at
the offices of the transfer agent for the Warrant or such other

the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has
been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and
each prior owner of this Warrant.
3. Rights and Obligations of
Holders of this Warrant . The Holder of this Warrant shall not,
by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the
Company, either at law or in equity; provided ,
however , that in the event any certificate representing
shares of Common Stock or other securities is issued to the holder
hereof upon exercise of this Warrant, such holder shall, for all
purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant, together with a
duly executed Election to Purchase, was surrendered and payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of
delivery of such Common Stock certificate.
4. Adjustments .
(a) Stock Dividends,
Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, Etc. In the event the
Company: (i) pays a dividend in Common Stock or makes a
distribution in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines
its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or
(iv) increases or decreases the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock
(including a recapitalization in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then
(1) the Exercise Price on the record date of such division or
distribution or the effective date of such action shall be adjusted
by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event, and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant may be exercised immediately before such event shall
be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the Exercise Price immediately before such event and
the denominator of which is the Exercise Price immediately after
such event.
(b) Cash Dividends and Other
Distributions . In the event that at any time or from time to
time the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock
(i) any dividend or other distribution of cash, evidences of
its indebtedness, shares of its
-4-
capital stock or any other properties or
securities or (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing (other than in each
case, (w) the issuance of any rights under a shareholder
rights plan, (x) any dividend or distribution described in
Section 4(a) , (y) any rights, options, warrants
or securities described in Section 4(c) and
(z) any cash dividends or other cash distributions from
current or retained earnings), then the Company shall, at least ten
(10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of
the Common Stock for purposes of such action, send to each Holder a
notice of such proposed action. Such notice shall be mailed to the
Holders at their addresses as they appear in the Warrant Register
(as defined in Section 2(d) ), which shall specify the
record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or
rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the
date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if
any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly describe such
action.
(c) Combination: Liquidation
. (i) In the event of a Combination (as defined below), each
Holder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the Warrant
the kind and amount of shares of capital stock or other securities
or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive
upon or as a result of such Combination had such Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to such event (subject to further
adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof). Unless
paragraph (ii) is applicable to a Combination, the Company
shall provide that the surviving or acquiring Person (the “
Successor Company ”) in such Combination will assume
by written instrument the obligations under this
Section 4 and the obligations to deliver to the Holder
such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire.
“ Combination ” means an event in which the
Company consolidates with, mergers with or into, or sells all or
substantially all of its assets to another Person, where “
Person ” means any individual, corporation,
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association,
joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, government
or any agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity;
(ii) In the event of (x) a Combination where
consideration to the holders of Common Stock in exchange for their
shares is payable solely in cash or (y) the dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Holders shall be
entitled to receive, upon surrender of their Warrant, distributions
on an equal basis with the holders of Common Stock or other
securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, as if the Warrant
had been exercised immediately prior to such event, less the
Exercise Price. In case of any Combination described in this
Section 4 , the surviving or acquiring Person and, in
the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company, the Company, shall deposit promptly with
