DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
1.1 WARRANTS. The Company hereby grants to Holder the right to purchase

price per share equal to the Exercise Price set forth in Section 2.4 below.
1.2 EXPIRATION OF WARRANTS. This Warrant shall expire and Holder shall no
longer be able to purchase the Warrant Shares after six months from the issue
date ("Expiration Date").
ARTICLE 2

delivering a duly executed Warrant Notice of Exercise in substantially the form
attached as APPENDIX 1, together with the Exercise Price, to the principal
office of the Company.
2.2 DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE AND NEW WARRANT. As promptly as practicable
after the receipt of the Warrant Notice of Exercise, but in any event not more
than two (2) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Warrant Notice of
Exercise, the Company shall issue the Warrant Shares being purchased and cause
to be mailed for delivery by overnight courier, or if a Registration Statement
covering the Shares has been declared effective by the SEC, cause to be
electronically transferred, to Holder a certificate representing the Shares

to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity

Share payable in cash.
ARTICLE 3
ADJUSTMENT TO THE SHARES
The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events, as follows:
3.1 RECLASSIFICATION. In case of any reclassification or change of
outstanding securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then,
and in any such case, the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation of such reclassification or change, shall be entitled to receive in
lieu of each Share theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind
and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and/or property received
upon such reclassification or change by a holder of one Share. The provisions of
this Section 3.1 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or
changes.
3.2 SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time while
this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its
Shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a
subdivision or increased in the case of a combination.
3.3 STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding shall pay a dividend with respect to its Shares payable in Shares,
or make any other distribution of Shares with respect to Shares (except any
distribution specifically provided for in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 above),
then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, effective from and after the date of
determination of shareholders entitled to received such dividend or
distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction, (a) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of Shares outstanding immediately
prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall
be the total number of Shares outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution.
3.4 NON-CASH DIVIDENDS. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding shall pay a dividend with respect to Shares payable in securities
other than Shares or other non-cash property, or make any other distribution of
such securities or property with respect to Shares (except any distribution
specifically provided for in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 above), then this
Warrant shall represent the right to acquire upon exercise of this Warrant such
securities or property which a holder of Shares would have been entitled to
receive upon such dividend or distribution, without the payment by the Holder of
any additional consideration for such securities or property.
2
3.5 EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION AND ASSET SALES. If any (i) reorganization or
reclassification of the Common Stock (ii) consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, or (iii) sale or all or substantially all of
the Company's operating assets to another corporation followed by a liquidation
of the Company (any such transaction shall be referred to herein as an "Event"),
is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
securities and/or assets as a result of their Common Stock ownership, the
Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive such shares
of stock securities or assets which the Holder would have received had it fully
exercised this Warrant on or prior the record date for such Event. The Company
shall not merge into or consolidate with another corporation or sell all of its
assets to another corporation for a consideration consisting primarily of
securities of such corporation, unless the successor or acquiring corporation,
as the case may be, shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and
performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be
performed or observed by the Company and all of the obligations and liabilities
hereunder, subject to such modification as shall be necessary to provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 2. The foregoing provisions shall
similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations or sales of assets.
3.6 ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment in the Exercise
Price, the number of Shares shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to
the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares, purchasable
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator
of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately thereafter.
3.7 NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its articles of
incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times
in good faith assist in carrying out all of the provisions of this Warrant and
in taking all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to
protect Holder's rights hereunder against impairment. If the Company takes any
action affecting its Common Stock other than as described above that adversely
affects Holder's rights under this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Exercise Price of this
Warrant is unchanged.
3.8 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole share.
3.9 CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise
Price, the Company, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment and furnish
Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such
adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall,
upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise
Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to
such Exercise Price.
3.10 NO RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS. This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any
voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise of Holder's right to purchase Shares as provided herein.

5.6 INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless Holder and each underwriter, if any, which facilitates the disposition
of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers and directors
and each person who controls Holder or underwriter within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person
being sometimes hereinafter referred to as an "INDEMNIFIED PERSON") from and
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or an omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, not misleading, or arise out of or are based upon an untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus or an omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such
Indemnified Person for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as and
when such expenses are incurred; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not
be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an
untrue statement made in, or an omission from, such Registration Statement or
Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein or (ii) the
use by the Indemnified Person of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the
Company has provided to such Indemnified Person an updated Prospectus correcting
the untrue statement or omission giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or
liability.
(b) NOTICE OF CLAIMS, ETC. Promptly after receipt by a party seeking
indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.6 ("INDEMNIFIED PARTY") of written
notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of
which indemnification is being sought (each, a "CLAIM"), the Indemnified Party
promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this
Section 5.6 is being sought ("INDEMNIFYING PARTY") of the commencement thereof;
but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from
any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits
substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure. In connection with
any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are
parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof.
Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying
8
Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal
counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying
Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such
separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the
Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (y)
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably have concluded
that representation of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party by the
same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably
determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing
interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or
if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in
addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party or (z)
the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after
notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs
separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x),
(y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be
borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of
counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The
Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or
compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not
include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities
with respect to such Claim or judgment.
(c) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.6
is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person under
subsection (A) or (B) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.6, in no event
shall any (i) Holder be required to undertake liability to any person under this
Section 5.6 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be
received by Holder from the sale of Holder's Registrable Securities (after
deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to
any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be
registered under the Securities Act and (ii) underwriter be required to
undertake liability to any Person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the
aggregate discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter
with respect to the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 5.6 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any
Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this
Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person
may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 5.6 are
not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be
available to an indemnified party at law or in equity.
5.7 ASSIGNMENT.
The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Agreement shall be automatically assigned by Holder to any transferee of
all or any portion of such Registrable Securities (or all or any portion of the
Warrants only if (a) Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to
9
assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company
within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is, within a
reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice
of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (ii) the

securities so transferred or assigned to the transferee or assignee constitute

contained herein.

transfer of all or part of this Warrant, prior to any such proposed transfer the
Holder shall give written notice thereof to the Company ("Transfer Notice").
Each Transfer Notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed
transfer in reasonable detail and, if the company so requests, shall be
10
accompanied by an opinion of legal counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer may be effected without
registration under the Act; provided that the Company will not require opinions
of counsel for transactions involving transfers to affiliates or pursuant to
Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the act,
except in unusual circumstances.

Warrant will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Warrant, that the Holder shall
be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity,

injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Warrant and to
