”), up to ______ Units each such Unit consisting of one share

Section 1
. Definitions
. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”),
dated August 11, 2008, among the Company and the purchasers
signatory thereto.
a) Exercise of
Warrant . Exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at
any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise 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 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. 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
Units 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 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 Units available
hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number
of Units purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable
number of Units purchased. The Holder and the Company
shall maintain records showing the number of Units purchased and
the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver
any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within 1 Business Day
of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute
or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. 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 Units hereunder, the number of Units
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 Unit under this Warrant shall
be $4.25 , subject to adjustment hereunder (the “
Exercise Price ”).
c) Holder’s
Restrictions . 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 person or entity 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
(A) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) 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(c), 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(c) 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 . 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(c), 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, as the case may be, (B) a more recent
public announcement by the Company or (C) any other 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. 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 4.99% 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(c),
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(d) shall continue to
apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be
effective until the 61 st day after such notice is
delivered to the Company.
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(c) 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.
d) Mechanics of
Exercise .
i. Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise . Certificates for Warrant Shares and
Series A Warrants purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3
Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of
Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (the “
Unit Delivery Date ”). This Warrant shall
be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is
received by the Company. The Units 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 Units for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been
exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all
taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 2(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, have 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 Units, deliver to
Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase
the unpurchased Units 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 deliver to the Holder a
certificate or the certificates representing the Units pursuant to
Section 2(e)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the
Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise
. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate
or the certificates representing the Units pursuant to an exercise
on or before the Unit Delivery Date, and if after such 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 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 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 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 Shares for which such exercise was not honored 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 req
