Holder (and its transferees and assigns), by acceptance of this Warrant,
covenants and agrees that
it is acquiring the Warrants evidenced hereby, and, upon exercise
hereof,
the Warrant Shares,
for its own account as an investment and not with a view to the resale
or
distribution thereof.
The Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act or
any state securities
laws and no transfer of any Warrant Shares shall be permitted unless
the
Company has received
notice of such transfer, at the address of its principal office set
forth
in the Exchange Agreement,
in the form of assignment attached hereto, accompanied by an opinion
of
counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that an exemption from registration of
such
Warrants or Warrant
Shares under the Securities Act is available for such transfer, except
that no such opinion
shall be required after the registration for resale by the Holder
of the
Warrant Shares, as contemplated
by the Registration Rights Agreement. Upon any exercise of the Warrants,
certificates
representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend
substantially identical to
that set forth on the face of this Warrant certificate. Any purported
transfer of any Warrant or Warrant
Shares not in compliance with the provisions of this section shall
be null
and void.
|
| (b) |
This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation
hereof at the aforesaid
office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying
the names
and denominations
in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by Holder or its agent
or
attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 8(a), as to any transfer which
may be
involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a
new
Warrant or Warrants
in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined
in
accordance with such
notice.
|
| (c) |
The
Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other
than
transfer taxes) the new
Warrant or Warrants under this Section
8.
|
| (d) |
The
Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or the office
of its
transfer or registration
agent, books for the registration and the registration of transfer
of the
Warrants.
|
| 9. |
No
Rights as Stockholder until Exercise.
This
Warrant does not entitle the holder hereof to any voting
rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise hereof. Upon the surrender
of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price,
the
Warrant Shares so purchased
shall be and be deemed to be issued to such holder as the record
owner of
such shares as of the
close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or
payment.
|
| 10. |
Loss,
Theft,
Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant.
The
Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant certificate or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant
Shares, and in case of loss, theft
or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory
to it
(which shall not exceed that customarily
charged by the Company's transfer agent), and upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant
or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver
a
new Warrant or stock certificate
of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such
Warrant
or stock certificate.

Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc.
If
the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration
of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday

| 12. |
Adjustments
of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.
|
| (a) |
Stock
Splits, etc. The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to
time upon the happening
of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend
in
shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common
Stock to
holders of its outstanding Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a
greater number of shares
of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into
a smaller number
of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issue any shares of its capital
stock in
a reclassification
of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted
so
that the holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares
or
other securities of the Company which he would have been entitled
to
receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon
each such
adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities
of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the holder of this
Warrant
shall thereafter
be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities
resulting from
such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to
such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant
hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by
the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company resulting
from such adjustment.
An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to
the
record date, if any, for such
event.
|
| (b) |
Reorganization,
Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of
Assets.
In
case the
Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock
(other
than a change in nominal
value to no nominal value, or from no nominal value to nominal value,
or
as a result of a
subdivision, combination or other event described in paragraph (a)
of this
Section), consolidate
or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not
the
surviving corporation
or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the
Common
Stock of the
Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all its property, assets or
business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification,
merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common
stock of
the successor
or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities
or property of any
nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase
rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor
or
acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or
distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then Holder
shall
have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant,
the
number of shares of common
stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company,
if it
is the surviving corporation,
and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets
by a
holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to
such event. In
case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation
or disposition of assets,
the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company)
shall
expressly assume
the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every
covenant
and condition
of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the
obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications
as
may be deemed appropriate (as determined
in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company)
in
order to provide
for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is
exercisable which shall
be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in
this Section 12. For
purposes of this Section 12, "common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation" shall include
stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as
to
dividends or assets over
any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject
to
redemption and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other
securities which are convertible
into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon
the
arrival of a specified
date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for
or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section
12
shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
mergers, consolidations or disposition of
assets.
|
-5-
| 13. |
Voluntary
Adjustment by the Company.
The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant,
reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any
period of
time deemed appropriate
by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
|
| 14. |
Notice
of Adjustment.
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities
or
other
property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise
Price is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall promptly mail by registered or certified
mail,
return receipt requested,
to the holder of this Warrant notice of such adjustment or adjustments
setting forth the number
of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable
upon the
exercise of this Warrant
and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities
or
property) after such adjustment,
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment
and
setting forth the computation
by which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in the absence of
manifest
error, shall
be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such
adjustment.
|
| 15. |
Notice
of Corporate Action.
If at any time:
|
| (a) |
the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for
the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution,
or
any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences
of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property,
or to receive any other right, or
|
| (b) |
there
shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of
the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation with or merger
of
the Company into, or any
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the
property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation or,
|
| (c) |
there
shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up
of the Company;
|
then,
in
any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least
10
days' prior written notice of any record date for such dividend, distribution
or
right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, at least 10 days'
prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice
in
accordance with the
foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is
to
be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the
amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the
time, if any such time is to be
fixed,
as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
disposition, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed
to Holder at
the
last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered
in
accordance with
Section 17(d).

Authorized
Shares.
The
Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding,
it
will reserve
from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number
of
shares to provide for the issuance
of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this
Warrant. The Company
further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute
full
authority to its officers who
are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and
issue the necessary certificates
for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this
Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure
that
such Warrant Shares may
be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable
law or
regulation, or of any requirements
of the Principal Market upon which the Common Stock may be
listed.
|
The
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
certificate of incorporation
or through any 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 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 Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such
increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock upon
the
exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having
jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares
of
Common Stock
for
which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall
obtain all such
authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

Agreement.

the
exercise of
this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale
imposed by state and federal securities
laws.
|
| (c) |
Nonwaiver
and Expenses.
No
course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right
hereunder
on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right
or
otherwise prejudice Holder's
rights, powers or remedies, except that all rights hereunder terminate
on
the Termination Date.
If the Company fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant,
the
Company shall pay to
the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs
and
expenses including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings,
incurred by the Holder
in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing
any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.

or
delivered to the
holder hereof by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with
the
notice provisions of the
Exchange Agreement.
|
| (e) |
Limitation
of Liability.
No
provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder
to
purchase
shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of Holder hereof,
shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price
of
any Common Stock or as
a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted
by the
Company or by creditors of
the Company.
|
| (f) |
Remedies.
The
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted
by
law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of
its
rights under this Warrant.
The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this
Warrant and hereby agrees to waive
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy
at law
would be adequate.

| (g) |

to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations
evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the
successors of the Company

this
Warrant and shall be enforceable
by any such Holder or holder of Warrant

Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived
only
with
the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
|

possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in
such
manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of
this Warrant shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall
be

prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such
provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Warrant.
