1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1. Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise. From and after the
Issue Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Holder hereof shall be

to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.
1.2. Full Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in full by the
Holder hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of
subscription attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Subscription Form") duly
executed by such Holder and surrender of the original Warrant within seven (7)
days of exercise, to the Company at its principal office or at the office of its
Warrant Agent (as provided hereinafter), accompanied by payment, in cash, wire
transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price 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 (a)
the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the
Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect. On any such partial
exercise, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or
upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of
the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of 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
as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:
(a) If the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or
is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated

respectively, reported for the last business day immediately preceding the

business day immediately preceding the Determination Date;
(c) Except as provided in clause (d) below, if the Company's
Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree,
or in the absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the
rules then standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single
arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and
training to pass on the matter to be decided; or
2
(d) If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up pursuant to the Company's charter, then all amounts to be payable
per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of
such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be
payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the
charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of
Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding
at the Determination Date.
1.5. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which
such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with
the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such
request, such failure shall not affect the continuing 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 Holder 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. 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 five (5) days thereafter ("Delivery Date"), 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 of Common Stock, 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.
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
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 Holder of the Warrants after the effective date of
such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company (a
"Trustee") having its principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the
Holder 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 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 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 Holder of the Warrants be delivered to
the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
3.4 Share Issuance. Share Issuance. Until the Expiration Date, if
the Company shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as
defined in the Subscription Agreement), 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 to such other lower issue price. For
purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of
the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into
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 the
above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option. The
reduction of the Purchase Price described in this Section 3.4 is in addition to
the other rights of the Holder described in the Subscription Agreement.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the
Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price 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 4.
The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to
receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator
is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect
on the date of such exercise.
4
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
6. 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.
7. 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 of Common Stock. 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.
8. 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.
9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been granted
certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set
forth in the Subscription Agreement. The terms of the Subscription Agreement are
incorporated herein by this reference. Upon the occurrence of a Non-Registration
Event, or in the event the Company is unable to issue Common Stock upon exercise
of this Warrant that has been registered in a Registration Statement described
in Section 11 of the Subscription Agreement, within the time periods described
in the Subscription Agreement, which Registration Statement must be effective
for the periods set forth in the Subscription Agreement, then upon written
demand made by the Holder, the Company will pay to the Holder of this Warrant,
in lieu of delivering Common Stock, a sum equal to the closing price of the
Company's Common Stock on the principal market or exchange upon which the Common
Stock is listed for trading on the trading date immediately preceding the date
notice is given by the Holder, less the Purchase Price, for each share of Common
Stock designated in such notice from the Holder.
5
10. Maximum Exercise. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this
Warrant on an exercise date nor may the Company exercise its right to give a
Call Notice (as defined in Section 11) in connection with that number of Common
Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date or Call
Date, and (ii) the number of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made
on an exercise date or Call Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by
the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock
on such date. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to
the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which
would result in the issuance of more than 9.99%. The restriction described in
this paragraph may be revoked upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from the
Holder to the Company. The Holder may allocate which of the equity of the
Company deemed beneficially owned by the Subscriber shall be included in the
9.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above
9.99%.
11. Call. The Company shall have the option to "call" the Warrants (the
"Warrant Call"), one or more times, in accordance with and governed by the
following:
(a) The Company may exercise the Warrant Call by giving to the
Warrant Holder a written notice of call (the "Call Notice") during the period in
which the Warrant Call may be exercised. The effective date of each Call Notice
(the "Call Date") is the date on which notice is effective under the notice
provision of Section 14 of this Warrant.
(b) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Holder of this Warrant, a Call
Notice must be given to all Warrant Holders who receive Warrants similar to this
Warrant (in terms of exercise price and other principal terms) issued on or
about the same Issue Date as this Warrant, in proportion to the amounts of
Common Stock which may be purchased by the respective Warrant Holders in
accordance with the respective Warrants held by each.
(c) The Warrant Holder shall exercise his Warrant rights and
purchase the Called portion of this Warrant and pay for same within thirty (30)
days after the Call Date. If the Warrant Holder fails to timely pay the amount
required by the Warrant Call, the Company's sole remedy shall be to cancel a
corresponding amount of this Warrant.
12. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of the
Warrant, appoint an agent (a "Warrant 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 Warrant Agent.
13. 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.
14. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and
other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and,
