exercise in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of
full shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon the exercise
thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of all Warrants so
presented. In lieu of any fractional shares, there shall be paid to
the holder an amount of cash equal to the same fraction of the
Current Market Value of a share of Common Stock. For purposes of

Transfer Agent shall be permitted to withhold from any amounts
payable to such assignee or transferee any taxes required by law to

form pursuant to the preceding sentence shall have the burden of
proving to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that it is
exempt from such requirement.

shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
made without charge to the holder of this Warrant for any issue tax
in respect thereof; provided, however , that the Company
shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than that of the holder hereof, and the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
or other securities unless and until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the
amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of
the Company that such tax has been paid.

herein, prior to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby,

rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without
limitation, the right to vote or to consent to any action of the
stockholders of the Company, to receive dividends or other
distributions, to exercise any preemptive right or to receive any
notice of meetings of stockholders of the Company, and shall not be
entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company.
In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed
as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any
securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted
by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
SECTION 6. Compliance with
Securities Laws.
(a) The holder of this Warrant, by
the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring
this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant for its own account for investment only and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or
distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however , that
by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to

other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this
Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or
pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the

acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an
“accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule

Commission under the Securities Act and was not organized for the
specific purpose of acquiring the Warrants or Warrant
Shares.
