THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES

REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED

(iii) The restrictions
imposed by this subsection (f) upon the transfer of this
Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon
exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall
have been resold pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, (B) upon the Issuer’s receipt
of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer to the effect
that such restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance
with the Securities Act and state securities laws or (C) upon
the Issuer’s receipt of other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification
under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not
required, which shall be deemed to include a customary Rule 144
representation letter from the Holder. Whenever such restrictions
shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the holder
thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer (or its
transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other than
applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case
of shares of Warrant Stock, new stock certificates) of like tenor
not bearing the applicable legend required by paragraph
(ii) above relating to the Securities Act and state securities
laws.
3. Stock Fully Paid;
Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants .
(a) Stock Fully Paid .
The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all
shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free
from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through Issuer. The
Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within
which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times
have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon
exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation . If
any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental
authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be
so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use commercially
reasonable efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to
cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer
shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or
market, it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and
increase when necessary such listing of all shares of Warrant Stock
from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as
otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has
been registered pursuant to a then-effective registration statement
under the Securities Act), and, to the extent permissible under the
applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of
Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as
any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also
so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain
such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this
Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be
listed on such securities exchange or market by the
Issuer.
- 4 -
(c) Covenants . The
Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation,
amending the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Issuer
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of
all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of the Holder hereof against impairment. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not
permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the
Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Issuer in any manner
that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the
Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably
necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear
of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as
provided herein or under applicable securities laws) upon the
exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may
be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft,
Destruction of Warrants . Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory
to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security
satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation,
upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will
make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common
Stock.

Price . The price at which shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set
forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder
notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with
Section 5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale
.
(i) In case the Issuer after
the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a
“ Triggering Event ”): (a) consolidate with or
merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or
merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or
merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or
surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or
merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or
exchanged for securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a
capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock,
then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper
provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and
in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant
is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the
Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the
consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such
Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such
Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights
represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to
adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly
equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in
this Section 4.
- 5 -
(ii) Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Warrant to the contrary, a Triggering Event shall
not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the consummation
thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required
to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of
this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument
delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this
Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant
(and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such
Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and
shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of
the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to
deliver to such Holder such securities, cash or property as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a),
such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall
have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for
such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such
Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed
by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating
that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of
the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the
securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to
deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Stock Dividends,
Subdivisions and Combinations . If at any time the Issuer
shall:
(i) take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of
Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares
of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock,
then (1) the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal
the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the
same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would
own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event,
and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to
equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment.

(c) Certain Other

of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
