Subject
to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder is entitled,
upon
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such
other place as the Company shall notify the Holder hereof in writing), to
purchase from the Company One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of $.0001 par
value per share Common Stock of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) at the
Exercise Price (defined below), subject to adjustment as provided in Section
7
below.
2. Exercise

exercise price for the Warrant Shares shall be $.50 per Warrant Share, as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 7 hereof (the “Exercise
Price”).
3. Exercise
Period.
This
Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing
on
the Warrant Issue Date and ending on May 31, 2010.
4. Method
of Exercise.
While
this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section
3
above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights
evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(a) the
surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of
Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its
principal offices; and
(b) the
payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for
the number of Warrant Shares being purchased.
5. Certificates
for Shares.
Upon
the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more
certificates for the number of Warrant Shares so purchased shall be issued
as
soon as practicable thereafter (with appropriate restrictive legends, if
applicable), and in any event within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the
notice of exercise.
6. Issuance
of Shares.
The
Company covenants that the Warrant Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise
of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance
thereof.
7. Adjustment
of Exercise Price and Kind and Number of Shares.
The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and
the
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(a) Subdivisions,
Combinations and Other Issuances.
If the
Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant (i) subdivide
its Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, (ii)
issue additional shares of its Common Stock or other equity securities as a
dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, or (iii) declare a
cash
dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of shares
of
Common Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be
proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock or cash
dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate
adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but
the
aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares
purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any
adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as
of
the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed,
upon the making of such dividend.
(b) Reclassification,
Reorganization and Consolidation.
In case
of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock
of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock
dividend provided for in Section 7(a) above), then, as a condition of such
reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be made,
and
duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor
shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at
any
time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price
equal
to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant (subject to adjustment of
the
Exercise Price as provided in Section 7), the kind and amount of shares of
stock
and other securities and property receivable in connection with such
reclassification, reorganization, or change by a Holder of the same number
of
shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior
to
such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder
so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to
any
shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise
hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per
share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain
the
same.
(c) Issuance
of New Warrant.
Upon
the occurrence of any of the events listed in this Section 7 that results in
an
adjustment of the type, number or exercise price of the securities underlying
this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive a new warrant
reflecting such adjustment upon the Holder tendering this Warrant in exchange.
The new warrant shall otherwise have terms identical to this
Warrant.
