Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid,
nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and
other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (except encumbrances or restrictions
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
constitute full authority to the Company's officers who are charged with the
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 approved for listing on all securities exchanges or markets and all trading

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.
Section 7. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.
7.1 ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT SHARES. The number, class and Exercise Price
per 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:
(a) RECAPITALIZATION. If the outstanding shares of the
Company's 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 the exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased
and the Exercise 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 this Section 7.1(a) shall be made with the intent and, as nearly
as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of
the Company obtainable on exercise of this Warrant nor the aggregate price
payable for such percentage shall be affected by any event described in this
Section 7.1(a).
4
(b) MERGER OR REORGANIZATION, ETC. In the event of any change
in the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other change in the capital
structure of the Company (not including the issuance of additional shares of
capital stock other than by stock dividend or stock split), then, the Holder of
this Warrant will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of this
Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property
to which it would have been entitled if, immediately before the merger,
consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other
change in the capital structure, it had held the number of shares of Common
Stock obtainable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section 7 with respect to the rights of the Holder after the merger,
consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other
change to the end that the provisions of this Section 7 (including adjustment of
the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable.
(c) ADJUSTMENT FOR DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS OF STOCK OR
OTHER SECURITIES OR PROPERTY. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall
fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive,
a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Warrant Shares (or any
shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant) payable in (i) securities of the Company (other than as provided for in
Section 7.1(a) or (b) above) or any other entity or (ii) assets (excluding cash
dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such
case, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation,
effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, the Holder
shall receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares (or such other stock or
securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the
payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other
assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such
date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant on the Initial Exercise Date and
had thereafter, during the period from the Initial Exercise Date to and
including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other
additional stock or securities available by it as aforesaid during such period
giving effect to all adjustments called for by this Section 7.
(d) SALE OF SHARES BELOW EXERCISE PRICE.
(i) If the Company shall issue any Additional Stock (as
defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share
less than $0.50 (adjusted appropriately for stock dividends, splits,
combinations and similar transactions) in effect immediately prior to
the issuance of such Additional Stock in a transaction not subject to
Section 7.1(a), (b) or (c) above, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to issuance of such Additional Stock (except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7.1(d)) shall be adjusted down to a
price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the total computed
under clause (x) below by the total computed under clause (y) below as
follows:
(x) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the result
obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock
deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (which
shall include the actual number of
5
shares outstanding plus all shares issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of all outstanding convertible
securities, warrants and options other than shares excluded
from the definition of Additional Stock by Section 7.1(d)(vi))
by the Exercise Price then in effect, and (2) the aggregate
consideration, if any, received by the Company upon the
issuance of such Additional Stock;
(y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company outstanding immediately after such issuance (including
the shares deemed outstanding as provided in clause (x)
above).
(ii) No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in an
amount less than $0.01 per share; provided, however, that any
adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this
sentence shall be carried forward and shall be taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment made to the Exercise Price. Except as
provided in Sections 7.1(d)(v)(C) and (D) below, no adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price
above the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.
(iii) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash,
the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor before deducting any discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or
otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(iv) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors irrespective of any
accounting treatment.
(v) In the case of the issuance of options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their
terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options or
warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities (which options, warrants, rights, convertible
or exchangeable securities are not excluded from the definition of
Additional Stock except as provided in Section 7.1(d)(vi)(B)), the
following provisions shall apply:
(A) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be
deemed to have been issued at the time such options, warrants,
or rights were issued for a consideration equal to the
consideration (determined in the manner provided in Sections
7.1(d)(iii) and (iv) above), if any, received by the Company
upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights plus the
minimum purchase price provided in such options, warrants or
rights for the Common Stock covered thereby, but no further
adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made for the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of such options,
warrants or rights in accordance with their terms;
6
(B) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any
such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the
exercise of options or warrants to purchase or rights to
subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and
subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to
have been issued at the time such securities were issued or
such options, warrants or rights were issued for a
consideration equal to the consideration received, if any, by
the Company for any such securities and any related options,
warrants or rights, plus the minimum additional consideration,
if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related
options, warrants or rights (the consideration in each case to
be determined in the manner provided in Sections 7.1(d)(iii)
and (iv) above), but no further adjustment to the Exercise
Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities in
accordance with their terms;
(C) if such options, warrants, rights or convertible
or exchangeable securities by their terms provide, with the
passage of time or otherwise, for any change in the
consideration payable to the Company or in the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange thereof, including, without limitation, a change
resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the
Exercise Price computed upon the original issue thereof, and
any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such
change becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such
change, but no further adjustment to the Exercise Price shall
be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the
exercise of any such options, warrants or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities in accordance with
their terms; and
(D) upon the expiration of any such options, warrants
or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or
exchange or the expiration of any options, warrants or rights
related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Exercise
Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment which was
made upon the issuance of such options, warrants, rights or
securities or options, warrants or rights related to such
securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of only
the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually
issued upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights,
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the
exercise of the options, warrants or rights related to such
securities.
(vi) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock
or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant
to Section 7.1(d)(v) above) by the Company after the Initial Exercise
Date other than:
(A) Common Stock issued in connection with a
transaction described in Section 7.1(a), (b) or (c);
7
(B) shares of Common Stock (and options to purchase
shares of Common Stock) issued or issuable to employees,
officers or directors of, or consultants to, the Company
pursuant to a stock option or restricted stock plan approved
by the Company's Board of Directors;
(C) 280,000 shares of Common Stock (adjusted
appropriately for stock dividends, splits, combinations and
similar transactions) issued or issuable upon the exercise of
warrants outstanding on the Initial Exercise Date;
(D) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
the exercise of any warrant issued pursuant to the Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and JMW
Capital Partners, Inc. dated as of the Initial Exercise Date.
(E) shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock, issued to financial institutions or equipment lessors
in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment
financings or similar transactions not primarily for equity
financing purposes and which have been approved by the
Company's Board of Directors; and
(F) shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock, issued in connection with business combinations or
corporate partnering agreements approved by the Company's
Board of Directors.
(e) OTHER IMPAIRMENTS. If any event shall occur as to which
the provisions of Section 7.1(a)-(d) are not strictly applicable but are covered
by the essential intent and principles of such sections, then, in each such
case, the Company will appoint the firm of independent certified public
accountants of recognized national standing with the largest U.S. revenues for
the prior year (but not the Company's regular auditors), which shall give their
opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential
intent and principles established in this Section 7.1, necessary to preserve the
rights represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company
will promptly mail a copy thereof to the holder of this Warrant and shall make
the adjustments described therein.
7.2 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever an event occurs requiring any
adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall promptly file
with its Secretary or an assistant secretary at its principal office and with
its stock transfer agent, if any, a certificate of its President or Chief
Financial Officer specifying such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail
the acts requiring such adjustment, and stating such other facts as shall be
necessary to show the manner and figures used to compute such adjustment. Such
certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by
the Holder. Promptly (but in no event more than 30 days) after each such
adjustment, the Company shall give a copy of such certificate by certified mail
to the Holder.

Section 8. MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1 BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT. This Warrant shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the Company and the Holder and their respective
successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns. This Warrant and
the Warrant Shares (collectively, "Securities") may only be disposed of pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to
an available exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable
federal and state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, transfer may only be
made with the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and the Company may require the transferor to provide to
the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and
substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to
the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
securities under the Securities Act; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, no consent of the Company shall be required for the assignment or
transfer of rights hereunder by a Holder to such assignor's or transferor's
partners, shareholders or members or retired partners or former shareholders or
members, if any, or for any other assignment or transfer to the spouse,
ancestors, lineal descendants or siblings of such assignor or transferor,
provided the transferee(s) certify to the Company that each is an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it
is acquiring the Securities solely for investment purposes.
The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this
Warrant, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached
hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company's transfer agent or to the
Company at the office specified in Section 8.2. Upon any such 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 a New Warrant by the transferee shall
be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations
of a holder of a Warrant.
This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the
Holder to the office of the Company specified in Section 8.2, 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.
8.2 NOTICE. All notices required or permitted under this Warrant shall
be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) upon personal
delivery to the party to be notified, (b) three days after deposit with the
United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and
addressed to the party to be notified at the address for such party, (c) one day
after deposit with a nationally recognized air courier service such as DHL or
Federal Express, or (d) on the date of facsimile transmission, with confirmed
transmission.

8.4 IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary
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 action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a)

case:
8.5.1 the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any securities or to receive any other right; or

reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
8.5.3 of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company; or
8.5.4 of any redemption or conversion of all outstanding
Common Stock;
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up,
redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities
as at the time are receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be delivered at least
thirty (30) days before the consummation of the applicable event.
8.6 NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company will not on or after the
date of this Warrant enter into any agreement with respect to its securities
which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holder of this Warrant or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holder
hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to holders of the
Company's securities under any other agreements, except rights that have been
waived.
8.7 SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS. If the Expiration Date falls on a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the Expiration Date shall automatically be

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

Section 3. WARRANT SHARES.
3.1 VALIDITY AND RESERVATION. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid,
nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and
other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (except encumbrances or restrictions
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
constitute full authority to the Company's officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
4
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 approved for listing on all securities exchanges or markets and all trading
or quotation facilities on which the Common Stock is listed as soon as possible

maintain such listings until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date this
Warrant is exercised in full.

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.

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.
Section 7. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.
7.1 ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT SHARES. The number, class and Exercise Price
per 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:
(a) RECAPITALIZATION. If the outstanding shares of the
Company's 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 the exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased
and the Exercise 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 this Section 7.1(a) shall be made with the intent and, as nearly
as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of
the Company obtainable on exercise of this Warrant nor the aggregate price
payable for such percentage shall be affected by any event described in this
Section 7.1(a).
5
(b) MERGER OR REORGANIZATION, ETC. In the event of any change
in the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other change in the capital
structure of the Company (not including the issuance of additional shares of
capital stock other than by stock dividend or stock split), then, the Holder of
this Warrant will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of this
Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property
to which it would have been entitled if, immediately before the merger,
consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other
change in the capital structure, it had held the number of shares of Common
Stock obtainable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section 7 with respect to the rights of the Holder after the merger,
consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other
change to the end that the provisions of this Section 7 (including adjustment of
the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable.
(c) ADJUSTMENT FOR DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS OF STOCK OR
OTHER SECURITIES OR PROPERTY. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall
fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive,
a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Warrant Shares (or any
shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant) payable in (i) securities of the Company (other than as provided for in
Section 7.1(a) or (b) above) or any other entity or (ii) assets (excluding cash
dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such
case, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation,
effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, the Holder
shall receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares (or such other stock or
securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the
payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other
assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such
date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant on the Initial Exercise Date and
had thereafter, during the period from the Initial Exercise Date to and
including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other
additional stock or securities available by it as aforesaid during such period
giving effect to all adjustments called for by this Section 7.
(d) SALE OF SHARES BELOW EXERCISE PRICE.
(i) If the Company shall issue any Additional Stock (as
defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share
less than $0.38722 (adjusted appropriately for stock dividends, splits,
combinations and similar transactions) in effect immediately prior to
the issuance of such Additional Stock in a transaction not subject to
Section 7.1(a), (b) or (c) above, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to issuance of such Additional Stock (except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7.1(d)) shall be adjusted down to a
price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the total computed
under clause (x) below by the total computed under clause (y) below as
follows:
(x) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the result
obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock
deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (which
shall include the actual number of
6
shares outstanding plus all shares issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of all outstanding convertible
securities, warrants and options other than shares excluded
from the definition of Additional Stock by Section 7.1(d)(vi))
by the Exercise Price then in effect, and (2) the aggregate
consideration, if any, received by the Company upon the
issuance of such Additional Stock;
(y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company outstanding immediately after such issuance (including
the shares deemed outstanding as provided in clause (x)
above).
(ii) No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in an
amount less than $0.01 per share; provided, however, that any
adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this
sentence shall be carried forward and shall be taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment made to the Exercise Price. Except as
provided in Sections 7.1(d)(v)(C) and (D) below, no adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price
above the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.
(iii) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash,
the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor before deducting any discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or
otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(iv) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors irrespective of any
accounting treatment.
(v) In the case of the issuance of options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their
terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options or
warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities (which options, warrants, rights, convertible
or exchangeable securities are not excluded from the definition of
Additional Stock except as provided in Section 7.1(d)(vi)(B)), the
following provisions shall apply:
(A) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be
deemed to have been issued at the time such options, warrants,
or rights were issued for a consideration equal to the
consideration (determined in the manner provided in Sections
7.1(d)(iii) and (iv) above), if any, received by the Company
upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights plus the
minimum purchase price provided in such options, warrants or
rights for the Common Stock covered thereby, but no further
adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made for the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of such options,
warrants or rights in accordance with their terms;
7
(B) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any
such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the
exercise of options or warrants to purchase or rights to
subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and
subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to
have been issued at the time such securities were issued or
such options, warrants or rights were issued for a
consideration equal to the consideration received, if any, by
the Company for any such securities and any related options,
warrants or rights, plus the minimum additional consideration,
if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related
options, warrants or rights (the consideration in each case to
be determined in the manner provided in Sections 7.1(d)(iii)
and (iv) above), but no further adjustment to the Exercise
Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities in
accordance with their terms;
(C) if such options, warrants, rights or convertible
or exchangeable securities by their terms provide, with the
passage of time or otherwise, for any change in the
consideration payable to the Company or in the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange thereof, including, without limitation, a change
resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the
Exercise Price computed upon the original issue thereof, and
any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such
change becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such
change, but no further adjustment to the Exercise Price shall
be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the
exercise of any such options, warrants or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities in accordance with
their terms; and
(D) upon the expiration of any such options, warrants
or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or
exchange or the expiration of any options, warrants or rights
related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Exercise
Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment which was
made upon the issuance of such options, warrants, rights or
securities or options, warrants or rights related to such
securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of only
the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually
issued upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights,
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the
exercise of the options, warrants or rights related to such
securities.
(vi) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock
or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant
to Section 7.1(d)(v) above) by the Company after the Initial Exercise
Date other than:
(A) Common Stock issued in connection with a
transaction described in Section 7.1(a), (b) or (c);
8
(B) shares of Common Stock (and options to purchase
shares of Common Stock) issued or issuable to employees,
officers or directors of, or consultants to, the Company
pursuant to a stock option or restricted stock plan approved
by the Company's Board of Directors;
(C) 280,000 shares of Common Stock (adjusted
appropriately for stock dividends, splits, combinations and
similar transactions) issued or issuable upon the exercise of
warrants outstanding on the Initial Exercise Date;
(D) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
the exercise of any warrant issued pursuant to the Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and JMW
Capital Partners, Inc. dated as of the Initial Exercise Date.
(E) shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock, issued to financial institutions or equipment lessors
in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment
financings or similar transactions not primarily for equity
financing purposes and which have been approved by the
Company's Board of Directors; and
(F) shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock, issued in connection with business combinations or
corporate partnering agreements approved by the Company's
Board of Directors.
(e) OTHER IMPAIRMENTS. If any event shall occur as to which
the provisions of Section 7.1(a)-(d) are not strictly applicable but are covered
by the essential intent and principles of such sections, then, in each such
case, the Company will appoint the firm of independent certified public
accountants of recognized national standing with the largest U.S. revenues for
the prior year (but not the Company's regular auditors), which shall give their
opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential
intent and principles established in this Section 7.1, necessary to preserve the
rights represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company
will promptly mail a copy thereof to the holder of this Warrant and shall make
the adjustments described therein.
7.2 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever an event occurs requiring any
adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall promptly file
with its Secretary or an assistant secretary at its principal office and with
its stock transfer agent, if any, a certificate of its President or Chief
Financial Officer specifying such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail
the acts requiring such adjustment, and stating such other facts as shall be
necessary to show the manner and figures used to compute such adjustment. Such
certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by
the Holder. Promptly (but in no event more than 30 days) after each such
adjustment, the Company shall give a copy of such certificate by certified mail
to the Holder.

Section 8. MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1 BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT. This Warrant shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the Company and the Holder and their respective
successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns. This Warrant and
the Warrant Shares (collectively, "Securities") may only be disposed of pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to
an available exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable
federal and state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, transfer may only be
made with the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and the Company may require the transferor to provide to
the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and
substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to
the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
securities under the Securities Act; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, no consent of the Company shall be required for the assignment or
transfer of rights hereunder by a Holder to such assignor's or transferor's
partners, shareholders or members or retired partners or former shareholders or
members, if any, or for any other assignment or transfer to the spouse,
ancestors, lineal descendants or siblings of such assignor or transferor,
provided the transferee(s) certify to the Company that each is an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it
is acquiring the Securities solely for investment purposes.
The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this
Warrant, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached
hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company's transfer agent or to the
Company at the office specified in Section 8.2. Upon any such 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 a New Warrant by the transferee shall
be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations
of a holder of a Warrant.
This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the
Holder to the office of the Company specified in Section 8.2, 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.
8.2 NOTICE. All notices required or permitted under this Warrant shall
be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) upon personal
delivery to the party to be notified, (b) three days after deposit with the
United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and
addressed to the party to be notified at the address for such party, (c) one day
after deposit with a nationally recognized air courier service such as DHL or
Federal Express, or (d) on the date of facsimile transmission, with confirmed
transmission.

8.4 IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary
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 action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a)

case:
8.5.1 the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any securities or to receive any other right; or
8.5.2 of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation, any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
8.5.3 of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company; or
8.5.4 of any redemption or conversion of all outstanding
Common Stock;
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up,
redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities
as at the time are receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be delivered at least
thirty (30) days before the consummation of the applicable event.
8.6 NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company will not on or after the
date of this Warrant enter into any agreement with respect to its securities
which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holder of this Warrant or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holder
hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to holders of the
Company's securities under any other agreements, except rights that have been
waived.
8.7 SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS. If the Expiration Date falls on a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the Expiration Date shall automatically be
