FORM OF WARRANT TO PURCHASE

SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

ARISTA POWER, INC.

No.: H-[ ]		Number of shares: [ ]
Date of Issuance: July 31, 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Arista Power, Inc., a New York corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), hereby certifies that [ ] or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to [ ] ([ ]) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant (the “Warrant”) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 9 hereof.

1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on July 31, 2013 and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 31, 2018 (such period being the “Term”).

2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during the Term.

(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 2, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant.

(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if, (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii) the Holder at the time of exercise is not able to sell the Warrant Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

	X=

Where	X=	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

	Y=	the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

	A=	the Warrant Price.

	B=	the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election.

(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates.

(i) In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect or the shares of Warrant Stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without restriction), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if (i) such exercise is in connection with a sale, (ii) such shares may be issued without restrictive legends and (iii) the Issuer and the transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. If all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above are not satisfied, the transfer agent shall deliver physical certificates representing the shares of Warrant Stock to such Holder. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of exercise.

- 2 -

(ii) The Issuer understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Warrant Stock upon exercise of this Warrant beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As such, if the Issuer fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder any shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant via DWAC or physical certificate by the Delivery Date, the Issuer shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Stock subject to such exercise (based on the Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Issuer’s failure to deliver any shares of Common Stock upon exercise within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).

(e) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(f) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.

- 3 -

(g) Continuing Rights of Xxxxxx. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.

(h) Compliance with Securities Laws.

(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

- 4 -

(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer (at the Issuer’s expense), to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Issuer will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) Trading Days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall, at the Holder’s option, cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (provided that the Issuer and the Issuer’s transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system).

(i) Accredited Investor Status. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

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, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the 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 issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate 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 its best 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, 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.

- 5 -

(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the 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 dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or 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 then effective 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) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best 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.

4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price and the Warrant Share Number 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 the notice provisions set forth in 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 or merge with or 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 to the Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant 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 as adjusted to take into account 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 (including the right of a stockholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4; provided, however, that in the event that the surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, the Holder at its option may in lieu of such adjusted warrant elect to receive an amount of cash from the Issuer equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (1) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Triggering Event, (2) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the applicable Triggering Event and (3) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Triggering Event. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and provide the calculations in determining the amount of issuable Securities, cash or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted Warrant Price. Upon the Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted amount of Securities, cash or property and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 4(a)(i).

- 6 -

(ii) In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the consummation of a Triggering Event and has also elected not to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of this Warrant calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(a)(i) above, the surviving entity and/or 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 the surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or each 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 the surviving entity and/or each 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) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the 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.

- 7 -

(c) Certain Other Distributions. Except with respect to such dividends or other distributions in which an adjustment has been made to the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 4(b) above, if the Issuer shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the Original Issue Date, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon a complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

(d) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereof, if at any time the Issuer grants, issues or sells any Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon a complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(e) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Original Issue Date issue or sell any share of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereof or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents granted or issued prior to the Original Issue Date) (an “Additional Share of Common Stock”) at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect, or without consideration (in which case such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at a price per share of $0.002), the Warrant Price then in effect upon each such issuance shall be decreased to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Share of Common Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be increased such that the aggregate Warrant Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Warrant Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Warrant Price prior to such adjustment.

(f) Issuance or Modification of Common Stock Equivalents. In the event the Issuer shall, at any time following the Original Issue Date: (i) issue or sell any Common Stock Equivalent with an exercise or conversion price less than the Warrant Price then in effect, or (ii) modify the conversion or exercise price of any Common Stock Equivalent issued prior to, on or after the Original Issue Date, to an exercise or conversion price less than the Warrant Price then in effect, or without consideration (in which case such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at a price per share of $0.002), the Warrant Price then in effect shall be decreased to the exercise or conversion price of such Common Stock Equivalent, and the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be increased such that the aggregate Warrant Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Warrant Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Warrant Price prior to such adjustment.

- 8 -

(g) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to Sections 4(e) or 4(f) hereof upon the issuance of (i) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Issuer pursuant to any stock option plan of the Issuer in effect on the date hereof on the terms in effect on the date hereof, (ii) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued under the Purchase Agreement, (iii) securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date, provided that such securities have not been amended since the Original Issue Date to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities and (iv) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation of all or substantially all of the assets, securities or business division of another entity so long as such issuances are not for the principal purpose of raising capital.

(h) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:

(i) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

(ii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.

(iii) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

(i) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

- 9 -

5. Notice of Adjustments; Dispute Resolution. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have three (3) business days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within ten (10) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses of the subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to promptly issue to the Holder the number of shares of Warrant Stock that is not disputed in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.

6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares.

7. Ownership Cap and Exercise Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may the Holder exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would cause the Holder to be directly or indirectly the beneficial owner (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock; provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that the Holder would like to waive this Section 7 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7 will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice. For purposes of this section, the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Issuer subject to a limitation on exercise or conversion analogous to the limitation contained herein owned by the Holder.

8. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 9 of the Purchase Agreement and the registration rights with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant by any subsequent Holder may only be assigned in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 11(b) of the Purchase Agreement.

9. Definitions. For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms have the following meanings:
