Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) then in effect.
1.3. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not
for a fractional share) by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at
the place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the
holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying

shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be exercised.
1.4. Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock

(c) Except as provided in clause (d) below, if the Company's

obligation of the Company to afford to such holder any such rights.
1.6. Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or trust
company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of the
Warrants pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have
all the powers and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and
shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such
successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable
to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.
2.1 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company
agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record
owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this
Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as
aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in
full or in part, and in any event within 7 days thereafter, the Company at
its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes)
will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof,
or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer
taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable Securities Laws, a
certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
to which such holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of
any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash
equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full
share, together with any other stock or other securities and property
(including cash, where applicable) to which such holder is entitled upon
such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

(a) Payment may be made either in (i) cash or by certified or
official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the
applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) by delivery of Warrants,
Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the
Warrants in accordance with Section (b) below, or (iii) by a
combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common
Shares specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be
adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant) and
the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly
authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the
Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in
lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, upon consent of the Company,
the holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as
determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being
cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company together with the properly endorsed Subscription Form in which
event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of
Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
---
A
Where X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
the holder
Y= the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under
the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is
being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being
exercised (at the date of such calculation)
A= the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's
Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B= Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation)
3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
3.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time
or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any
plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in
each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction,
proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the
holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or
merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall
receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such
exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and
other securities and property (including cash) to which such holder would
have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such
dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this
Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment
thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company
following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or
assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense
deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the holders of
the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this
Section 3 to a bank or trust company having its principal office in New
York, NY, as trustee for the holder or holders of the Warrants.
3.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation,
merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to
in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and
the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may
be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other
securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person
acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the
Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms
of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does
not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the
transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the
Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable)
receivable by the holders of the Warrants be delivered to the Trustee as
contemplated by Section 3.2.
3.4. Share Issuance. Except for the Excepted Issuances as described in
Section 11 of the Subscription Agreement, if the Company at any time shall
issue any shares of Common Stock prior to the complete exercise of this
Warrant for a consideration less than the Purchase Price that would be in
effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon
each such issue, the Purchase Price shall be reduced as follows: (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issue shall be multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect at the time of
such issue and the product shall be added to the aggregate consideration,
if any, received by the Company upon such issue of additional shares of
Common Stock; and (ii) the sum so obtained shall be divided by the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue. The
resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Purchase Price. For purposes of
this adjustment, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the
right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any
warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an
adjustment to the Purchase Price upon the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights.
4. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial
Statements. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for
issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the
Warrant. This Warrant entitles the holder hereof to receive copies of all
financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the
holders of the Company's Common Stock.
5. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable
Securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be
transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") with respect to any
or all of the Shares. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the
Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the
Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable Securities Laws, the
Company at its expense but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable
transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor
thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor
and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a
"Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant
so surrendered by the Transferor.
6. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
7. Subscription Agreement. This Warrant is issued pursuant to a
Subscription Agreement entered into by the Company and Subscribers of the
Company's 4% Convertible Notes at or prior to the issue date of this Warrant.
The terms of the Subscription Agreement are incorporated herein by this
reference.
8. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each holder of
the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other
Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging
this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to
Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange
or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.
9. Transfer on the Company's Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on
the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as
the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.
10. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to
the holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to
the Company in writing by such holder or, until any such holder furnishes to the
Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last holder of this
Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.
11. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the laws of New York. Any dispute relating to this Warrant shall be
adjudicated in New York State. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of
reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way
