On any partial exercise the Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, providing in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant or Warrants may still be exercised. The subscription form may be surrendered by telephone line facsimile transmission to such telephone number for the Company as shall have been specified in writing to the Holder by the Company; provided, however, that if the subscription form is given to the Company by telephone line facsimile transmission the Holder shall send an original of such subscription form to the Company within ten Business Days after such subscription form is so given to the Company; provided further, however, that any failure or delay on the part of the Holder in giving such original of any subscription form shall not affect the validity or the date on which such subscription form is so given by telephone line facsimile transmission.

(b) Net Exercise. The Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the net issuance value (as determined below) of this Warrant, or any part hereof, upon surrender of the subscription form annexed hereto (duly executed by the Holder) to the Company (followed by surrender of this Warrant to the Company within three Trading Days after surrender of such 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 x (A - B)

-5-

where,



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

Y =		the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is to be exercised

A =		the Current Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock calculated as of the last Trading Day immediately preceding the exercise of this Warrant

B =		the Purchase Price

(c) 9.9% Limitation. (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon exercise pursuant to the terms hereof at any time shall not exceed a number that, when added to the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by the Holder (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the Holder’s right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein (the “Excluded Shares”), together with all shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned at such time (other than by virtue of the ownership of the Excluded Shares) by Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the beneficial ownership by the Holder for purposes of determining whether a group exists or for purposes of determining the Holder’s beneficial ownership (the “Aggregation Parties”), in either such case for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Regulation 13D-G thereunder (including, without limitation, as the same is made applicable to Section 16 of the 1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder), would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder or such group of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the 1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (as the same may be modified by the Holder as provided herein, the “Restricted Ownership Percentage”). The Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reduce its Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately upon notice to the Company in the event and only to the extent that Section 16 of the 1934 Act or the rules promulgated thereunder (or any successor statute or rules) is changed to reduce the beneficial ownership percentage threshold thereunder to a percentage less than 9.9%. If at any time the limits in this Section 1(c) make this Warrant unexercisable in whole or in part, the Company shall not by reason thereof be relieved of its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock at any time or from time to time thereafter upon exercise of this Warrant as and when shares of Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such restrictions.

(2) For purposes of this Section 1(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock at any time the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s then most recent Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a public announcement by the Company that is later than any such filing referred to in the preceding clause (1) or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number shares of Common Stock outstanding and knowledge the Holder may have about the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents by any Person, including the Holder, which are not reflected in the preceding clauses (1) through (3). Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within three Business Days

-6-

confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents, by the Holder or its affiliates, in each such case subsequent to, the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and in any event within five Trading Days thereafter, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Current Fair Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or Other Securities or any property (including cash, where applicable) to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. The Company shall pay any taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed under the laws of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) or payment of cash upon exercise of this Warrant (other than income taxes imposed on the Holder). The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of any certificate for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or payment of cash to any Person other than the Holder, and in case of such transfer or payment the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificate for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) upon such exercise or pay any cash until such tax or charge has been paid or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or charge is due. Upon exercise of this Warrant as provided herein, the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Company to the Holder, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with such exercise. If the Company fails to issue and deliver the certificates for the Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph as and when required to do so, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have hereunder and under applicable law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Holder on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of legal counsel, incurred by the Holder as a result of such failure.

3. Adjustment for Dividends in Other Stock, Property, etc.; Reclassification, etc. In case at any time or from time to time on or after the Issuance Date, all the holders of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall have received, or (on or after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders eligible to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,

-7-

(a) other or additional stock, rights, warrants or other securities or property (other than cash) by way of dividend, or

(b) any cash (excluding cash dividends payable solely out of earnings or earned surplus of the Company), or

(c) other or additional stock, rights, warrants or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement,

other than (i) additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued as a stock dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which are provided for in Section 5) and (ii) rights or warrants to subscribe for Common Stock at less than the Current Fair Market Value (adjustments in respect of which are provided in Section 6), then and in each such case the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock, rights, warrants and Other Securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this Section 3) which the Holder would hold on the date of such exercise if on the date thereof the Holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the date thereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and all such other or additional stock, rights, warrants and Other Securities and property (including cash in the case referred to in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this Section 3) receivable by the Holder as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by Section 4.

4. Exercise upon a Reorganization Event. In case of any Reorganization Event the Company shall, as a condition precedent to the consummation of the transactions constituting, or announced as, such Reorganization Event, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant (in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company and Other Securities or property purchasable and receivable upon exercise of the rights represented hereby immediately prior to such transaction) to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and Other Securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that might have been received upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Reorganization Event. Any such provision shall include provisions for adjustments in respect of such shares of stock and Other Securities and property that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply to successive Reorganization Events.

5. Adjustment for Certain Extraordinary Events. In the event that on or after the Issuance Date the Company shall (i) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price

-8-

shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 5. The Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such issuance by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance and (ii) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

6. Issuance of Rights or Warrants to Common Stockholders at less than Current Fair Market Value. In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Fair Market Value on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, then

(a) the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect at the opening of business on the day after such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Fair Market Value, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on such record date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase; and

(b) the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder may thereafter purchase upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the day after such record date shall be increased to a number equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment in the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 6 by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment in the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 6.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered and the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may thereafter be exercised shall be readjusted (subject to proportionate adjustment for any intervening exercises of this Warrant) to the number which

-9-

would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed and the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may thereafter be exercised shall again be adjusted (subject to proportionate adjustment for any intervening exercises of this Warrant) to be the number which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Fair Market Value, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

7. Issuance at Less than Current Fair Market Value. (a) In case at any time on or after the Issuance Date the Company shall issue shares of its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (collectively, the “Newly Issued Shares”), other than an issuance pro rata to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock (adjustments for which are provided in Sections 5 and 6) and other than an issuance in respect of which Section 9 is applicable, at a price below the Current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of such issuance, then following such issuance of Newly Issued Shares the Purchase Price shall be reduced as provided in clause (b) of this Section 7 and the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased as provided in clause (c) of this Section 7.

(b) The reduction in the Purchase Price following any such adjustment shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted basis assuming the exercise or conversion of all options, warrants, purchase rights or convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible at the time of the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares) plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company for the number of Newly Issued Shares would purchase at a price equal to the Current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of such issuance, and the denominator shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted basis assuming the exercise or conversion of all options, warrants, purchase rights or convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible at the time of the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares) plus (Y) the number of Newly Issued Shares. The adjustment provided for in this Section 7(b) may be expressed as the following mathematical formula:


	( O +(C /FMV))	x PP
NPP =	( O + N )

where,


C		=		aggregate consideration received by the Company for the Newly Issued Shares

-10-


N	=	number of Newly Issued Shares

O	=	number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis, as described above) immediately prior to the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares

FMV	=	Current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of issuance of the Newly Issued Shares

PP	=	Purchase Price immediately prior to the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares

NPP	=	Purchase Price immediately after the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares

(c) If the Purchase Price is reduced in connection with the issuance of Newly Issued Shares as provided in Section 7(b), then the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may thereafter be exercised shall be increased at the time of such reduction in the Purchase Price to a number equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Newly Issued Shares by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such issuance of Newly Issued Shares after giving effect to such reduction in the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 7(b).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made under this Section 7 by reason of:

(1) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock pro rata to all holders of the Common Stock so long as (i) any adjustment required by Section 5 is made and (ii) the Company shall have given notice thereof to the Holder pursuant to Section 14;

(2) the issuance by the Company of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or upon exercise of this Warrant or other Warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof or any other issuance of securities solely to the Holder occurring on or before October 31, 2004;

(3) the issuance by the Company of shares of Newly Issued Shares in payment of dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof;

(4) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of, and in payment of interest or dividends on, Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on the Issuance Date in accordance with the terms thereof existing on the Issuance Date;

(5) the issuance by the Company of Newly Issued Shares upon grant or exercise of options for employees, directors and consultants under a stock option, equity compensation or similar plan duly adopted by the Board of Directors; or

-11-

(6) the issuance, if required, by the Company of the Placement Agent Warrants or shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

8. Adjustment For Certain Issuances. (a) If at any time on or after the Issuance Date the Company issues shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents that are not registered for sale by the Company in such offering under the 1933 Act or issues shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in an offering of a type commonly known as a PIPE or an equity line, in any such case in an amount which, together with all other offerings by the Company that would be integrated with such offering for purposes of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, results in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $250,000, at a price per share at which the Company sells such shares of Common Stock or the price per share at which the holders of such Common Stock Equivalents are entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise thereof which is less than the Purchase Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then following such issuance the Purchase Price shall be reduced to the lowest price per share at which such shares of Common Stock are issued or at which such Common Stock Equivalents may be exercised, if the same is lower than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance. If the Purchase Price is reduced pursuant to this Section 8, then the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may thereafter be exercised shall be increased at the time of such reduction of the Purchase Price to a number equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such issuance after giving effect to such reduction in the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 8.

(b) If any adjustment in the Purchase Price is made pursuant to this Section 8 in respect of any issuance of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, no adjustment in the Purchase Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made by reason of such issuance pursuant to Section 8.

(3) the issuance by the Company of shares of Newly Issued Shares in payment of dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof;

-12-

9. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (a) If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that (x) this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and Other Securities or property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by the holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available to exercise this Warrant) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise such holder’s rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purposes of this Section 9 the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares), (y) in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and the Subscription Agreement and (z) if registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of such shares of stock and Other Securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination or sale. Such written agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or

purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

(b) The above provisions of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances.

10. Tax Adjustments. The Company may make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those required by Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

11. Minimum Adjustment. (a) No adjustment in the Purchase Price (and no related adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All such calculations under this Warrant shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

(b) No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common Stock or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value.

12. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than five Trading Days thereafter, give a notice to the Holder setting forth the Purchase Price and number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment but which such statement shall not include any information which would be material non-public information for purposes of the 1934 Act. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

13. Further Assurances. The Company will take all action that may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, on the exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.

14. Notice to Holder Prior to Certain Actions. In case on or after the Issuance Date:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock (other than in cash out of retained earnings); or

-14-

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or

(c) the Board of Directors shall authorize any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or any consolidation or merger or other business combination transaction to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(d) there shall be pending the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

the Company shall give the Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten Trading Days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, other business combination transaction, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record who shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, other business combination transaction, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall be determined. Such notice shall not include any information which would be material non-public information for purposes of the 1934 Act. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. In the case of any such action of which the Company gives such notice to the Holder or is required to give such notice to the Holder, the Holder shall be entitled to give a subscription form to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part that is contingent on the completion of such action.

15. Reservation of Stock, etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to effect the full exercise of this Warrant and the exercise, conversion or exchange of any other warrant or security of the Company exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise entitling the holder to acquire shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities), and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall not be sufficient to effect such exercise, conversion or exchange, the Company shall take such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to such number as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
