(“Company”), at any time not later than 5:00 P.M.,
Eastern time, on the Expiration Date (as defined above), at an
exercise price per share equal to $___ 1 (the

Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). The number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the
Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
described herein. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2008 (the
“Purchase Agreement”), among the Company and the
initial holders of the Company Warrants (as defined below).
Capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings ascribed
thereto in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined
herein.
Section
1. Registration . The Company
shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the
Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company
shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the
Warrantholder.
Section
2. Transfers . As provided
herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a
registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from
such registration. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall

by appropriate instructions for
transfer and such other documents as may be reasonably required by
the Company, including, if required by the Company, an opinion of
its counsel to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, to establish that
such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof,
and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the
surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the Company.
Section
3. Exercise of Warrant .
Subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise
this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its
expiration upon surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of
a duly executed Warrant exercise form, in the form attached hereto
as Appendix A (the “Exercise Agreement”) and payment by
cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds (or, in certain
circumstances, by cashless exercise as provided below) of the
aggregate Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then
being purchased, to the Company during normal business hours on any
business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or
such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice to the Warrantholder). The Warrant Shares so purchased shall
be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder or the
Warrantholder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares,
as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall
have been surrendered (or the date evidence of loss, theft or
destruction thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the
Company has been provided to the Company), the Warrant Price shall
have been paid and the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been
delivered. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall
be delivered to the Warrantholder within a reasonable time, not
exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have
been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such
denominations as may be requested by the Warrantholder and shall be
registered in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as
shall be designated by the Warrantholder, as specified in the
Exercise Agreement. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only
in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall,
at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates,
deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant representing the right
to purchase the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant
shall not then have been exercised. As used herein, “business
day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which
banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of
business. Each exercise hereof shall constitute the re-affirmation
by the Warrantholder that the representations and warranties
contained in Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement are true and
correct in all material respects with respect to the Warrantholder
as of the time of such exercise.
If (1) a certificate representing
the Warrant Shares is not delivered to the Warrantholder within
three (3) Business Days of the due exercise of this Warrant by the
Warrantholder and (2) prior to the time such certificate is
received by the Warrantholder, the Warrantholder, or any third
party on behalf of the Warrantholder or for the
Warrantholder’s account, purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Warrantholder of shares represented
by such certificate (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall pay in cash to the Warrantholder (for costs incurred either
directly by such Warrantholder or on behalf of a third party) the
amount by which the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a
result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any)
exceeds the proceeds received by such Warrantholder as a result of
the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Warrantholder shall
provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Warrantholder in respect of the Buy-In.

Section
4. Compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933 . Except as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the
Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this
Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant, and a similar legend on
any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such
security that such legend is unnecessary.
Section
5. Payment of Taxes . The
Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the
initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any
certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the
Warrantholder in respect of which such shares are issued, and in
such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person
requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax
or has established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction
that such tax has been paid. The Warrantholder shall be responsible
for income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such
tax is due.
Section
6. Mutilated or Missing
Warrants . In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost,
stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and
substitution of and upon surrender and cancellation of the
mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant
lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the
purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost,
stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with
respect thereto, if requested by the Company.
Section
7. Reservation of Common Stock
. The Company hereby represents and warrants that there have been
reserved, and the Company shall at all applicable times keep
reserved until issued (if necessary) as contemplated by this
Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of the rights
of purchase represented by this Warrant. The Company agrees that
all Warrant Shares issued upon due exercise of the Warrant shall
be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant
Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Section
8. Adjustments . Subject and
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Warrant Price and
number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time as set forth
hereinafter.
(a) If the Company shall,
at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding,
pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares
of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by
reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any
shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is
the continuing corporation), then (i) the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to
-3-
the date on which such change shall
become effective shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such change
and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
change and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to the date on which such change shall become
effective by a fraction, the numerator of which is shall be the
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date on which such
change shall become effective and the denominator of which shall be
the Warrant Price in effect immediately after giving effect to such
change, calculated in accordance with clause (i) above. Such
adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.
(b) If any capital
reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected,
then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful
and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder
shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the
basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in
lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets
as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in
exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of
Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not
taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be
made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder
to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or
assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company
shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the
consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the
Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the
corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other
appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to
deliver to the Warrantholder, at the last address of the
Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of
stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, the Warrantholder may be entitled to purchase, and the
other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this
paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or
other dispositions.
(c) In case the Company
shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all
holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is
the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets
(other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of
consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends or
distributions referred to in Section 8(a)), or subscription rights
or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect after such payment
date shall
-4-
be determined by multiplying the
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price
(as defined below) per share of Common Stock immediately prior to
such payment date, less the fair market value (as determined by the
Company’s Board of Directors in good faith) of said assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription
rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such
Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such
payment date. “Market Price” as of a particular date
(the “Valuation Date”) shall mean the following: (a) if
the Common Stock is then listed on the Nasdaq Global Market or the
Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) or any other national
stock exchange, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock
on such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Valuation
Date; (b) if the Common Stock is then quoted on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board (the
“Bulletin Board”) or such similar quotation system or
association, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on
the Bulletin Board or such other quotation system or association on
the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such
closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and
the low asked price quoted thereon on the last trading day prior to
the Valuation Date; or (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed
on a national stock exchange or quoted on the Bulletin Board or
such other quotation system or association, the fair market value
of one share of Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company
and the Warrantholder. If the Common Stock is not then listed on a
national securities exchange, the Bulletin Board or such other
quotation system or association, the Board of Directors of the
Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the
Warrantholder prior to the exercise hereunder as to the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company. In the event that the Board of Directors
of the Company and the Warrantholder are unable to agree upon the
fair market value in respect of subpart (c) of this paragraph, the
Company and the Warrantholder shall jointly select an appraiser,
who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser
shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall
be borne equally by the Company and the Warrantholder. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a payment date
is fixed.
(d) An adjustment to the
Warrant Price shall become effective immediately after the payment
date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately
after the effective date of each other event which requires an
adjustment.
(e) In the event that, as
a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the
Warrantholder shall become entitled to receive any shares of
capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the
number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time
in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this
Warrant.
(f) Except as provided in
subsection (g) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue or
sell, or is, in accordance with any of subsections (f)(l) through
(f)(7) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any Additional Shares
of Common Stock for no consideration or
-5-
for a consideration per share less
than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of
such issue or sale, then and in each such case (a “Trigger
Issuance”) the then-existing Warrant Price, shall be reduced,
as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger
Issuance, to the lowest price per share at which any share of
Common Stock was issued or sold or deemed to be issued or sold;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Warrant Price after
giving effect to such Trigger Issuance be greater than the Warrant
Price in effect prior to such Trigger Issuance.
For purposes of this subsection (f),
“Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued
pur
