Manner of Exercise
. (a) Notwithstanding anything to

the Company’s certificate of incorporation is amended to
provide for sufficient authorized shares to permit this Warrant to
be exercised), this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be
exercised, without any action on the part of the Holder or the
Company, and without the need to pay any exercise
price..
(b) The Company shall, as promptly as
practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days
thereafter, issue or cause to be issued and deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, as hereinafter provided against delivery of this
warrant to the Company at its principal office. The stock
certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent
possible, in such denomination or denominations as such Holder
shall request in a separate notice and shall be registered in the
name of the Holder or, subject to Section 8, such other name as
shall be designated in the notice. 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
effective date of the Recapitalization Merger.
(c) The Company's obligations to issue and
deliver Warrant Stock 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 Stock.
(d) The Warrant shares are fully earned upon
issuance of this Warrant. Should the Recapitalization Merger not
occur on or before March 1, 2006, the Company shall use its best
efforts to take all action necessary to cause this Warrant
automatically to be exercised as promptly as practicable.
.
2.2. Payment of Taxes . All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and without any
preemptive rights. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection
with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be
imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery thereof, unless such
tax or charge is imposed by law upon the Holder or based on or
measured by the income of the holder, in which case such taxes or
charges shall be paid by the Holder. The Holder or its transferee
shall pay any transfer tax due and payable in respect of a transfer
of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock to a party other than the
Holder.
2.4. Continued Validity . A holder of shares of Common Stock issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than
a holder who acquires such shares after the same have been publicly
sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act
or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder), shall continue to be
entitled to all rights, and subject to
all obligations, to which it would have been
entitled or obligated, as applicable, as the Holder under Sections
8, 9 and 10 of this Warrant. The Company will, at the time of each
exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon the request of
the holder of the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise
hereof, acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to
such holder, its continuing obligation to afford to such holder all
such rights; provided , however , that if such holder
shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect
the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such holder
all such rights.
2.5 Limitation on Exercise . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or
otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other
issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other
Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be
aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such
purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a notice of
exercise under Section 2.1 will constitute a representation by the
Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this
paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of
Warrant Shares requested in such notice of exercise is permitted
under this paragraph. By written notice to the Company, the Holder
may waive the provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver
will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is
delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver will apply only
to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.

or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
or Warrants
in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be
divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The
Company shall give each Holder notice of any event described below
which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the time
of such event.

time the Company shall:

Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend
payable in, or other distribution of, Additional Shares of Common
Stock;
(b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock; or
(c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock;
then (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event
shall be adjusted to
