represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at
any time or times on or after the Exercisability Date and on or
before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice
in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile
copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within
three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by
wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure
specified in Section 2(c) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has
purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the
Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three
(3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant
Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.
The Holder and the
|

Company shall
maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and
the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection
to any Notice of Exercise Form within 2 Business Days of receipt of
such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of
this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant
Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for
purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount
stated on the face hereof.
|
|
|
b)
Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of the
Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.4125 , subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price

c)
Cashless Exercise . If at the time of exercise hereof
there is no effective registration statement registering, or the

the Warrant Shares to the Holder or an exemption from registration
is not available such that the Holder (unless the Holder is at the
time of exercise is an Affiliate of the Company) could not
immediately resell all Warrant Shares without any filing or
limitation on volume, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in
whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless
exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
|
|
|
|
(A)
|
|

the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder
elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless
exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of
Exercise;
|
|
|
|
(B)
|
|
= the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder;
and
|
|
|
|
(X)
|
|
= the
number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless
exercise.
|
|
|
“
VWAP ”means, for any date, the price determined by the
first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common
Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily

volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or
the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the
Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC
Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported
in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets,
Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its
functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share
of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases,
the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by
an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Company and
reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority in interest of
the Securities then outstanding, the fees and expenses of which

|
|
|
d)
Mechanics of Exercise .
|
|
|
i.
Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise . Certificates
for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s
prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if
the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A)
there is an effective Registration Statement covering the issuance
of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder
or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and
otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the
Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3)
Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of
the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if
required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set
forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such
date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been properly exercised on the
first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the
Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued,
and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares
for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised,
with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless
exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the
Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance
of such shares, having been paid.
|
|
|
ii.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at
the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant
certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or
certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased
Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
|
|
|
iii.
Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will
have the right to rescind such exercise as provided in the Purchase
Agreement.
|
|
|
iv.
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver
Certificates Upon Exercise . In addition to any other rights
available to the
|
3
|
|
Holder, if the
Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder
a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery
Date, and if after such Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder is
required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise
purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In
”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the
amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was
required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise
at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to
such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) 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
(in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of
Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such
purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. 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
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
|
|
|
v.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares
or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the
Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise,
the Company shall, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price.
|
|
|
vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of
certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the
Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in
respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which transfer
taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such
certificates shall be issued in the name of the
|
4
|
|
Holder or in
such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to
be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant
when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached
hereto (the “ Assignment Form ”) duly executed
by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto,
the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer
tax incidental thereto.
|
|
|
vii.
Closing of Books . The Company will not close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the
timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms
hereof.
|
|
|
e)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company
shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall
not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant,
pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving
effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the
applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the
Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group
together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the
number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion
of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being
acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to
the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for
any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the
extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies,
the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable
shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission
of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in
each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the
Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy
of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of
the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations

|
|
promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in
(A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed
with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding as established by (A), (B), or (C)
above, as applicable. 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 or its Affiliates since the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation
” shall be 4.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The
Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the
Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of
this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or
decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice
is delivered to the Company and shall only be effective with
respect to such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict
conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this
paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or
desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor
holder of this Warrant.
