As used herein the term "this Warrant" shall mean and include this Warrant and any Common Stock or Warrants hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part.

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares") and the Exercise Price may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth.

1. Exercise Period . This Warrant provides for the grant of Warrants at the rate of 144,000 Warrants per year commencing on March 30, 2007 and on March 30 th for each year thereafter through March 30, 2012. Each Warrant grant shall expire on the second anniversary of the date of the grant (the "Exercise Period").

2. Procedure for Exercise; Effect of Exercise .

(a) Cash Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised at the rate of 144,000 Warrant Shares per year, in whole or in part, by the Holder during normal business hours on any business day during the Exercise Period by (i) the presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office along with a duly executed Notice of Exercise (in the form attached to this Warrant) specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, and (ii) delivery of payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the Company, or by certified or bank cashier’s check.

(b) Cashless Exercise . This Warrant may also be exercised by the Holder through a cashless exercise, as described in this Section 2(b). In such case, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder during normal business hours on any business day during the Exercise Period by the presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office along with a duly executed Notice of Exercise specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be applied to such exercise. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall equal the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) computed as of the date of delivery of this Warrant to the Company using the following formula:

X =

Y(A-B) A

Where:

X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder under this Section 2(b);

Y = the number of Warrant Shares identified in the Notice of Exercise as being applied to the subject exercise;

A = the Current Market Price on such date; and

B = the Exercise Price on such date

For purposes of this Section 2(b), Current Market Price shall have the definition provided in Section 6(g).

The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant was issued on the date set forth at the end of this Warrant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may conduct a cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(b) only after the first anniversary of the initial issuance date of this Warrant.

In the event that the Holder shall not exercise the Warrant during any year pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, this Warrant may be exercisable for accrued and unexercised Warrant Shares during any subsequent year during the Exercise Period.

Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of a Notice of Exercise (including a copy received via facsimile), the Company shall immediately send to the Holder, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Notice of Exercise. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and the original Notice of Exercise, together with proper payment of the Exercise Price, as provided in this Section 2, the Company or its designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the Company of the original Notice of Exercise (so long as this Warrant and the proper payment of the Exercise Price are received by the Company on or before such third business day), issue and deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares subject to the Notice of Exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or his designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares subject to purchase hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, together with proper payment of the Exercise Price, as provided in this Section 2, the Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant has been surrendered and payment has been made for such Warrant Shares in accordance with this Warrant and the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

3. Registration of Warrants; Transfer of Warrants . Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares, upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent.

Upon delivery of such notice and opinion to the Company, the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition specified in the notice to the Company.

(c) Each stock certificate representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant shall bear the following legend unless the opinion of counsel referred to in Section 4(b) states such legend is not required:
