This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Letter Agreement by and between the Company and the Holder (the "Letter Agreement").

1.

Number of Shares; Term. As of the Grant Date, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase up to an aggregate of 80,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant. This Warrant is exercisable with respect to such shares, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from on or after the Grant Date but only if Company has closed its acquisition of Professional Resource Screening, Inc. and prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, if Company completes its acquisition of Professional Resource Screening Inc. Completion of this acquisition is a condition precedent to Holder exercising any rights stated hereunder.

2.

Method of Exercise and Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Contingent Exercise.

a.: Subject to Section 1 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit l-A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company of cash or a certified check or a wire transfer in an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock then being purchased. In the alternative, the Holder hereof may exercise its right to purchase some or all of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant, on a net basis, such that, without the exchange of any funds, the Holder hereof receives that number of shares of Common Stock subscribed to pursuant to this Warrant less that number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value (as defined below) at the time of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price that would otherwise have been paid by the Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed to under this Warrant. Fair market value, on a per-share basis, shall be deemed to be (i) the daily closing price (as defined below) per share on the date immediately preceding the date of exercise; and (ii) if the Common Stock is not publicly held, listed or traded, the fair value per share determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, in either case as reported on the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the

Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading; or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price (or, if not so quoted, the average of the last quoted high bid and low asked prices) in the over-the-counter market, as reported by NASDAQ or such other system then in use; or, if on any such date no bids are quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such security selected by the members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

b.: The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock so purchased 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. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within 15 days thereafter and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired pursuant to Section 1 hereof, a new Warrant representing the shares of Common Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within such 15-day period.

3.: Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Share. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have duly authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock.
4.: Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (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), or in case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation or entity, as the case may be, shall execute a new Warrant (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder of this Warrant) providing that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each share of Common Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by a holder of one share of Common Stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.
5.: No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, and will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against impairment.
6.: Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of

determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, or any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall mail to the Holder of this Warrant at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right(s) or vote of the shareholders. Each such written notice shall specify the amount and character of any such dividend, distribution or right(s), and shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the matter requiring any such vote of the shareholders.

7.

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based upon the per share fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise.

Within ten (10) days after such selection, such Independent Appraisers shall select a third non-affiliated consulting firm or investment banking firm. of national standing (the "Second Appraiser") to make a final and binding determination of fair market value. The Company and the Holder shall each be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Independent Appraiser selected by such party. The determination of the Independent Appraiser selected by agreement of the parties or the Second Appraiser selected as provided above (as the case may be) shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holder, and the expenses of such agreed upon Independent Appraiser or Second Appraiser (as the case may be) shall be borne one-half by the Company and one-half by the Holder.
