WHEREAS,
the parties have entered into that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as
of
_____________, 2007, by and between the Company and the Warrant Holder (the
“Subscription

and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to
the
Warrant Holder a warrant (the “Warrant”)
to
purchase __________ shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per
share (the “Common
Stock”),
subject to the terms set forth herein.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and
promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree
as
follows:
1. Warrant;
Call.
(a) The
Company hereby grants to the Warrant Holder, subject to the terms set forth
herein, the right to purchase at any time during the term commencing on the
date
hereof and ending at 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the third (3rd) anniversary
of
the date hereof (the “Expiration
Date”)
__________ shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”),
at an
initial exercise price of US $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 3 hereof (as in effect from time to time, the “Exercise
Price”).
(b) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if the closing bid price of the Common Stock
equals or exceeds US $4.00 per share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days,
which period shall have commenced only after the Effective Date (such period
the
“Threshold
Period”),
the
Company may, within two (2) Trading Days after the end of any such Threshold
Period, deliver a written notice to the Warrant Holder to cause the Warrant
Holder to exercise this Warrant in its entirety within five (5) trading days,
after which date this Warrant shall immediately expire and be of no further
force and effect.
2. Exercise
of Warrant.
2.1 Exercise.
This
Warrant may be exercised by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, by
delivering the Notice of Exercise purchase form, attached as Exhibit
A
hereto
(the “Notice
of Exercise”),
duly
executed by the Warrant Holder to the Company at its principal office, or at
such other office as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment, in
cash
or by wire transfer or check payable to the order of the Company, of the amount
obtained by multiplying the number of Shares designated in the Notice of
Exercise by the Exercise Price (the “Purchase
Price”).
2.2 Issuance
of Certificates.
As soon
as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part) in
accordance with Section
2.1
hereof,
the Company, at its expense, shall cause to be issued in the name of and
delivered to the Warrant Holder (i) a certificate or certificates for the number
of fully paid and non-assessable Shares to which the Warrant Holder shall be
entitled upon such exercise and (if applicable) (ii) a new warrant agreement
of
like tenor to purchase all of the Shares that may be purchased pursuant to
the
portion, if any, of this Warrant not exercised by the Warrant Holder. The
Warrant Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such Shares on the date on which the Notice of Exercise and payment
of
the Purchase Price in accordance with Section
2.1,
hereof
were delivered and made, respectively, irrespective of the date of delivery
of
such certificate or certificates, except that if the date of such delivery,
notice and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are
closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of
such
Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock
transfer books are open.
3. Adjustments.
3.1 Stock
Splits, Stock Dividends and Combinations.
If the
Company at any time subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or
issues a stock dividend (in Common Stock) on the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
or the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
and
the number of Shares subject hereto shall be proportionately increased, and
if
the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number
of
Shares subject hereto shall be proportionately decreased, effective at the
close
of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination,
as
the case may be.
3.2 Merger
or Consolidation.
In the
case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with
or
into another entity (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the outstanding capital stock of the
Company), the entity formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and
deliver to the Warrant Holder a supplemental warrant agreement providing that
the Warrant Holder shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of
such
Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the kind and amount of
shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of Shares for which such
Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation or
merger. Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which
shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section
3
hereof.
-2-
3.3 Certificate
as to Adjustments.
Upon
the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant
to this Section
3,
the
Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment
of the Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each
Holder of a Warrant 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 (i) the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment or readjustment and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property that at the time
would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, upon
the
written request at any time of any Holder of a Warrant, furnish or cause to
be
furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (x) all adjustments
and readjustments of the Exercise Price since the Original Issue Date and (y)
the Exercise Price then in effect.

pledge of this Warrant and the Shares shall be governed by the Subscription

Register.
The
Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the

Warrant Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to
the Company requesting such change.
5. No
Fractional Shares.

validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal
liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and free from all taxes, liens
and
charges with respect to the issuance thereof imposed by or through the Company;
provided,
however,
that

of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificates in
respect of such shares in a name other than that of the Warrant Holder and
the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless
or
until the person(s) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the
Company the amount of such tax or it shall be established to the satisfaction
of
the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company further covenants and
agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free

event that the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of all Warrants,
declare a dividend (other than a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common
Stock) or otherwise distribute to its stockholders any assets, properties,
rights, evidence of indebtedness, securities (other than shares of Common
Stock), whether issued by the Company or by another person, or any other thing
of value, the Company shall give the Warrant Holder ten (10) calendar days’
prior written notice of such proposed dividend or distribution.
9. Miscellaneous.

9.2 Governing
Law.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the County of Bergen, State of New Jersey. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the County of Bergen, State of New Jersey for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to
the enforcement of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
not
to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering a copy thereof
via
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address
in
effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing

to

of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by
creditors of the Company.
