Company, (ii) payment of any applicable consideration, and (iii) executing and
delivering to the Secretary of the Company the attached Exercise Form, which

2.2.2 SAME DAY SALE EXERCISE. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by
payment of cash, when permitted by law and applicable regulations (including

portion of the Warrant Shares so purchased to pay the Exercise Price and whereby
the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Warrant Shares to
forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company.

payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock
equal to the value of this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant to the
Company with a written notice of exercise specifying reliance on this Section

Shares shall be delivered, at the Company's expense, to the Holder or the
transferee thereof set forth in the attached Exercise Form and (b) a new Warrant
of like tenor to purchase up to that number, if any, not previously purchased by
the Holder (if this Warrant has not expired) shall be delivered, at the
Company's expense, to the Holder.
2.4 EFFECTIVE DATE OF EXERCISE. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its
surrender for exercise as provided above. The person entitled to receive the
Warrant Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such
shares as of the close of business on the date the Holder is deemed to have
exercised this Warrant.
2.5 SECURITIES ACT COMPLIANCE. Unless the Warrant Shares are no longer
subject to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company may place
conspicuously upon each certificate representing the Warrant Shares a legend
substantially in the following form, the terms of which are agreed to by the
Holder:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY
APPLICABLE STATE LAW, AND NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED,
ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (A) THERE IS AN

THESE SECURITIES (CONCURRED IN BY LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY) STATING

arising under federal or state securities laws), and not subject to preemptive
rights. The Company agrees that, as long as this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company will have duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of
capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant and from time to time will take all steps necessary to amend its
Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Issuance of this Warrant shall

duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
3.2 LISTING OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company shall take all steps necessary
to cause the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to be

possible after the Initial Exercise Date and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain such listings until the earlier of the Expiration Date or
the date this Warrant is exercised in full.
Section 4. FRACTIONAL SHARES.
No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, and the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the
nearest whole number.

The Holder shall not, solely by virtue of being the Holder of this
Warrant, have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, either at law
or equity, until this Warrant shall have been exercised.
Section 6. LOSS OF WARRANT.
Upon receipt by the Company of satisfactory evidence of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and either (in the case of loss, theft
or destruction) reasonable indemnification and a bond reasonably satisfactory to
the Company if requested by the Company or (in the case of mutilation) the
surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, the Company will execute and deliver
to the Holder, without charge, a new warrant of like denomination.

share of securities for which this Warrant may be exercised are subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as hereinafter
provided:

Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares or if the Company shall
effect a stock dividend, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon

Price per share shall be proportionately reduced. Conversely, if the outstanding
shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price per share
shall be proportionately increased. The increases and reductions provided for in
