may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, Liens and charges in respect
of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

|
The “Exercise Price” for the Warrant
shall be $0.05 per share.
|

The Warrant shall be exercised in tranches of at
least 1,000,000 shares each.

(d) Except as provided in this
Section 3 and Section 4 herein, exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or
after the Issue Date, and before the close of business on the
Expiration Date by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of
Exercise Form annexed hereto, duly executed, at the office of the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice in writing to the registered holder hereof at
the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company)
and upon payment of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby
purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a

receive a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock so
purchased. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be
delivered to the Holder hereof within three (3) Trading Days after
the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as
aforesaid. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and
such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued, and the 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 this Warrant has been
exercised by payment to, and receipt thereof by, the Company of the
Exercise Price and, to the extent applicable in cases of issuances
to designees of the named Holder of this Warrant, any transfer-tax
reimbursements provided for under the proviso in Section 6 hereof.
If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, 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 shares
of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
4. 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 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 the Exercise Price.

which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such
certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this
Warrant, or in such name or names as may be directed by the holder
of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates
for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than
the name of the Holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment
Form attached hereto, duly executed by the Holder hereof; and the
Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto.

surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in
the form attached hereto duly executed by Holder or its agent or

warrant or warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in
the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of
assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new warrant

Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle
the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a
shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise pursuant to
Section 3 hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the

shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such
surrender or payment.
10. Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants
that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant certificate or any stock certificate relating to the
Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
11. Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking
of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such
action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of
Warrant Shares.

(a) Stock Splits, etc. The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In the
event that the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common
Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders
of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, (iv) issue any shares of
its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, or (v)
otherwise transacts a similar adjustment to its class of Common

of this Warrant and the Exercise Price immediately prior thereto
shall be adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other
securities of the Company which the holder would have owned or have
been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance
thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of
Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are
purchasable hereunder, the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter
be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other
securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise
