(“Company”), hereby certifies that the Warrant Holder
specified above, or his registered assigns (“Registered
Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below,
to purchase from the Company on or before the third anniversary of
the date hereof, that number of shares of Common Stock, $.001 par
value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth above,
at a purchase price equal to $1.50 per share (as may be adjusted as
provided below) upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share,
each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of
this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant

respectively.
1. Registration of Transfers and
Exchanges .
(i) The Company shall register the transfer of
any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender
of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly
completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company,
provided, however, that the Holder shall not make any transfers to
any transferee pursuant to this Section for the right to acquire
less than 50,000 Warrant Shares (or the balance of the Warrant
Shares to which this Warrant relates). Upon any such
registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock,
in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a
“New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant
so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant
evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so
transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring
Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the
transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such
transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a
Warrant.
(ii) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the Holder to the office of the Company for one
or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased
hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date
of such exchange.
(i) Procedure for Exercise
. Subject to the conditions and terms set forth herein,
this Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder
(“Conversion Right”), in whole or in part, by the
surrender of this Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise Form
attached hereto as Exhibit 1 duly executed by such Registered
Holder) at the principal office of the Company, or at such other
office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by
payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of an amount
equal to the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Warrant Shares then being purchased upon such
exercise.
(ii) Exercise of Conversion Right
. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder on any business
day by delivering to the Company the Warrant with a duly executed
Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 with the
conversion section completed by specifying the total number of
shares of Common Stock the Registered Holder will purchase pursuant
to such conversion.
(iii) Date of Exercise . Each
exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this
Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company. At
such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any
certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such
exercise shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of
record of the Warrant Shares represented by such
certificates.
(iv) Issuance of Certificate
. As soon as practicable after the exercise of the
purchase right represented by this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to,
the Registered Holder, or, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, to such other individual or entity as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
direct:
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number
of full shares of Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder
shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any
fractional share to which such Registered Holder would otherwise be
entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 4
hereof, and
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new
warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, stating
on the face or faces thereof the number of shares currently stated
on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares
purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided
in subsection 2(i) above.
(v) Exercise of Warrant . The
Warrant may be exercised in whole or from time to time in part on
or prior to the third anniversary of the date hereof, as first set
forth above.
(i) Split, Subdivision or Combination of
Shares . If, at any time while this Warrant remains
outstanding and unexpired, the outstanding shares of the
Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a
greater number of shares, or a dividend in Common Stock shall be
paid in respect of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such
dividend shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such
subdivision or split or immediately after the record date of such
dividend (as the case may be), shall be proportionately
decreased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be combined or reverse-split into a smaller number of shares,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
or reverse split shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of
such combination or reverse split, be proportionately
increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in
the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to
the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number
of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(ii) Reclassification, Reorganization,
Consolidation or Merger . In the case of any
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par
value or a subdivision or combination as provided for in subsection
3(i) above), or any reorganization, consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or
reorganization with respect to which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of
the Common Stock), or a transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or the payment of a liquidating distribution
then, as part of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale or liquidating distribution, lawful
provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder of this
Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the
exercise hereof, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other
securities or property which such Registered Holder would have been
entitled to receive if, immediately prior to any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or
liquidating distribution, as the case may be, such Registered
Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock which were
