THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFIES that, for value received,
[Subscriber] (the "Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the
limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on
or after ________, 2003 (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior to the

Stock (the "Exercise Price") under this Warrant shall be $_____ subject to
adjustment hereunder. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares for
which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided
herein. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED AND NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE
MEANINGS SET FORTH IN THOSE CERTAIN SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT(S) (THE "SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT"), DATED _________________, 2004, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL
HOLDER HEREOF.
1
1. Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 7 of this Warrant, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or
agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed. Prior to the effectiveness of any such transfer, the
transferee shall sign a representation letter in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens issue or transfer taxes and
charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or
times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the
Termination Date by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of
Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) and upon payment of the Exercise
Price by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank or
by means of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 3(c), the Holder shall
be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares so
purchased. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered
to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the date on which this
Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant shall be
deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to
be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by
payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be
paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of
such shares, have been paid. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder
a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to
this Section 3(a) by the third Trading Day after the date of exercise, then
the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the
Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by
this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical
with this Warrant.
2
(c) If at any time after one year from the date of issuance of
this Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering the
resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, this Warrant may also be
exercised, at any time prior to the Termination Date, by means of a
"cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the closing bid price on the trading day preceding the date of
such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of the Warrants, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant
Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all
of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be
directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for
Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the
Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may
require, as conditions thereto, (1) the transferee to execute a representation
letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and (2) the
payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse the Company for any transfer tax
incidental thereto.
6. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
7. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and
the conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) hereof, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached
hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in
such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor
3
a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and
this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned,
may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without
having a new Warrant issued.
(b) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants
upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together
with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new
Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be
involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants
to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 7.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office,
books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the
Warrants.
(e) If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant
shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky
laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i)
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish
to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in
form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities
or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to
the Company a representation letter in form and substance acceptable to the
Company and (iii) that the transferee be an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.
8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise),
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such
Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
later of the date of such surrender or payment.
9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in
the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like
tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock
certificate.
4
10. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is not a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
11. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and
the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend
in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to
holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv)
issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock,
then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled
to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the
Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such
Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind
and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are
purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at
an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of
the Company resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
12. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property,
assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, at
the option of the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of
Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it
is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result
of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition
of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall
expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and
every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the
Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such
modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good
5
faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to
provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 12. For purposes of this Section 12, "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.
13. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time
during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any
amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
14. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or
number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made.
15. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of
its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or
any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or
other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or
business of the Company to, another corporation or,
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases (but not in such cases if the rights of
the Holder or holders of Common Stock will not be materially affected thereby,
as for example in the case of a merger to effect a change of domicile), the
Company shall give to Holder (i) at least 15 days' prior written notice of the
date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or
right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
6
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 15 days' prior written notice
of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the
foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to
be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend,
distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date
on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale,
transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place
and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other
property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder
at the last address of Xxxxxx appearing on the books of the Company and
delivered in accordance with Section 17(d).
16. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the
Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full
authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such
Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the trading market upon
which the Common Stock may be listed.
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions
thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

17. Miscellaneous.
(a) Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under
the laws of New York, without regard to its conflict of law, principles or
rules.
(b) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(c) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Xxxxxx's rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the
Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise
enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(d) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Subscription
Agreement.
(e) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence
of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase
Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of
Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price
of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company.
(f) Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise
all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled
to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company
agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant
and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(g) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities
laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company
and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this
Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.
(h) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
(i) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any
8
provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(j) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a
part of this Warrant.
