then the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise.
(c)
If by on or after the fifth Trading Day after a
Date of Exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number
of certificates for such Warrant Shares to the Holder, and if after
such fifth Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant
Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder
anticipated receiving from the Company upon such exercise (a

within five Business Days after the Holder’s written request
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket
expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (1)
pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for

Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with
the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common
Stock on the Date of Exercise and (2) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number
of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or

would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.
- 6 -
(d)
The Company’s obligations to issue and
deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms 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, or any
breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any
obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of
law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any
other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of
the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a 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
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to
the terms hereof.

Charges, Taxes and Expenses
. Issuance and delivery of Warrant
Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge
to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax,
transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of
the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required 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 liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring
this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares or Alternative
Consideration upon exercise hereof.
7.
Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in
lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only
with respect to the unexercised portion and only upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft
or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall
not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New
Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other
reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is
requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the
Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a
condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the
New Warrant.
8.
Reservation of Warrant Shares
. The Company covenants that it will
at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock,
solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant
Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of
this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking
into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). 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, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable.
- 7 -
9.
Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section
9.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits
. If the Company (i) pays a stock
dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on
any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller 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 or distribution, 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)
Fundamental Transactions . If there is a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities,
cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been,
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of
the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of
this Warrant (the “ Alternative Consideration
”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of
the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such
Alternative Consideration based on the amount of Alternative
Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in
such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternative Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of
the Alternative Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given
any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in
a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same
choice as to the Alternative Consideration it receives upon any
exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At
the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company or
surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the
Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant for
a term equal to the remainder of the term of this Warrant and
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the
Holder's right to purchase the Alternative Consideration for the
aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any
agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected
shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving
entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will
be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to
a Fundamental Transaction.
(c)
Subsequent Equity
Sales .
(i)
If the Company shall issue shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire
shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the then
current Exercise Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation
of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating
conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to
warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such
issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price
less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have
occurred for less than the Exercise Price), then, the Exercise
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or
such Common Stock Equivalents plus the number of shares of Common
Stock which the offering price for such shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents would purchase at the Exercise Price, and
the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus
the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in
writing, no later than the third Trading Day following the issuance
of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this
section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or
applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other
pricing terms.

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

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 and thereafter shall be deemed to be
outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price. Except as
otherwise provided in subsection 9(c)(ii)(C), 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.
- 9 -
(B)
Issuance of Convertible Securities
. In case the Company shall in any
manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or

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 and thereafter
shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the
Exercise Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in
subsection 9(c)(ii)(C), 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 subsection 9(c).
(C)
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 9(c)(ii)(A)
hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in
subsections 9(c)(ii)(A) or 9(c)(ii)(B), or the rate at which
Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 9(c)(ii)(A) or
9(c)(ii)(B) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock
shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, 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 o
