writing to the Holder hereof at the address of such Holder appearing on the
books of the Company) at any time during the period set forth in paragraph 3
hereof and upon payment to the Company by certified check or wire transfer in an

quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (b) if the Common
Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered national
stock exchange, the last closing bid price for a share of Common Stock in the

Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or
agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the "Pink Sheet"
quotes for the applicable trading days preceding such date of determination or
(d) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a
share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected by
Company and reasonably acceptable to Holder.

within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue
upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant.
5. Adjustment. If
prior to the expiration date, the Company shall pay a stock dividend upon, or
subdivide, split-up, reverse split, reclassify or combine its shares of Common
Stock or if such stock shall be made exchangeable for other stock of the Company
or if the Company shall effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of
the capital stock or consolidate or merge the Company with another entity or
sell substantially all of its assets to another entity in such a way that the
holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or
assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock then the Company shall
appropriately adjust the number, class and/or exercise price of the Stock
subject to the outstanding Warrant to reflect the change in Common Stock. All
affected terms and conditions of the Warrant shall also be appropriately
adjusted. If, as a result of any adjustment under this section the Warrant
Holder shall become entitled to a fractional share of Stock, the Holder shall
have the right to purchase only the adjusted full number of shares of Stock and
no payment or other adjustment will be made in respect to the fractional shares
of Stock so disregarded. The determination of the Company’s Board of Directors
regarding any adjustment will be final and conclusive. The Holder of the Warrant
shall be given prompt notice of any adjustment of the number of shares issuable
on exercise of the Warrant or any adjustment of the exercise price of the
Warrant as well as the taking of any of the foregoing corporate
actions.
