person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and
address of each transferee and each prior owner of this Warrant.

3. Rights and Obligations of
Holders of this Warrant. The Holder of this Warrant shall not,
by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company,
either at law or in equity; provided, however, that in the
event any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities is
issued to the holder hereof upon exercise of this Warrant, such holder shall,
for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common
Stock on the date on which this Warrant, together with a duly executed Notice of
Exercise, was surrendered and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price was made,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such Common Stock
certificate.
4. Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends,
Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, Etc. While this Warrant
is outstanding, in the event the Company: (i) pays a dividend in
Common Stock or makes a distribution in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its
outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines
its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or
(iv) increases or decreases the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock (including a
recapitalization in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation), then (1) the Exercise Price on the
record date of such division or distribution or the effective date of such
action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and
(2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be
exercised immediately before such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price immediately
before such event and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price immediately
after such event.
(b) Combination:
Liquidation. While this Warrant is outstanding, (i) In
the event of a Combination (as defined below), each Holder shall have the right
to receive upon exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of capital
stock or other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled
to receive upon or as a result of such Combination had such Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to such event (subject to further adjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof). Unless paragraph (ii) is
applicable to a Combination, the Company shall provide that the surviving or
acquiring Person (as defined below) (the “Successor
Company”) in such Combination will assume by written instrument the
obligations under this Section 4 and
the obligations to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or
assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be
entitled to acquire. “Combination”
means an event in which the Company consolidates with, mergers with or into, or
sells all or substantially all of its assets to another Person, where “Person”
means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability
company, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization,
government or any agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity;
(ii) In the event of (x) a Combination where consideration to the holders of
Common Stock in exchange for their shares is payable solely in cash or (y) the
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Holders shall be
entitled to receive, upon surrender of their Warrant, distributions on an equal
basis with the holders of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant, as if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior
to such event, less the Exercise Price. In case of any Combination
described in this Section 4, the
surviving or acquiring Person and, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up of the Company, the Company, shall deposit promptly with an agent
or trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the funds, if any, necessary to pay
to the Holders the amounts to which they are entitled as described
above. After such funds and the surrendered Warrant are received, the
Company is required to deliver a check in such amount as is appropriate (or, in
the case or consideration other than cash, such other consideration as is
appropriate) to such Person or Persons as it may be directed in writing by the
Holders surrendering such Warrant.
3
(c)
Notice of
Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of
shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 4, the
Company shall deliver to the holders of the Warrant in accordance with Section 10 a
certificate of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which
such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which
(i) the Board of Directors determined the fair value of any evidences of
indebtedness, other securities or property or warrants, options or other
subscription or purchase rights and (ii) the Current Market Value (as defined
below) of the Common Stock was determined, if either of such determinations were
required), and specifying the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant after giving effect to such
adjustment.
(d) Notice of Certain
Transactions. While this Warrant is outstanding, in the event
that the Company shall propose (a) to pay any dividend payable in
securities of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to make any other
non-cash dividend or distribution to the holders of its Common Stock,
(b) to offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to
purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of
stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (c) to
effect any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger
affecting the class of Common Stock, as a whole, or (d) to effect the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
the Company shall, within the time limits specified below, send to each Holder a
notice of such proposed action or offer. Such notice shall be mailed
to the Holders at their addresses as they appear in the Warrant Register, which
shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or
rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of
participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be
fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock
and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on other property,
if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any,
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price after giving
effect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 4 which
will be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be
given as promptly as possible and (x) in the case of any action covered by
clause (a) or (b) above, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for
determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action or (y) in
the case of any other such action, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date
of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by
the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.
(e) Current Market
Value. The “Current
Market Value” per share of Common Stock or any other security at any date
means (i) if the security is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) and/or traded on a national securities exchange, quotation system
or bulletin board, (a) the value of the security, determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company and certified in a board resolution, based
on the most recently completed arm’s-length transaction between the Company and
a Person other than an affiliate of the Company or between any two such Persons
and the closing of which occurs on such date or shall have occurred within the
six-month period preceding such date, or (b) if no such transaction shall have
occurred within the six-month period, the value of the security as determined by
an independent financial expert or an agreed upon financial valuation model or
(ii) if the security is registered under the Exchange Act and/or traded on a
national securities exchange, quotation system or bulletin board, the average of
the daily closing bid prices (or the equivalent in an
over-the-counter market) for each day on which the Common Stock is traded for
any period on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on
which the common Stock is being traded (each, a “Trading
Day”) during the period commencing thirty (30) days before such date and
ending on the date one (1) day prior to such date.
5. Registration
Rights. The Holder shall, with respect to the Shares, have the
resale registration rights set forth in Section 5 of the
Subscription Agreement attached to the PPM by and between the Company and the
Holder.
6. Fractional
Shares. In lieu of issuance of a fractional share upon any
exercise hereunder, the Company will issue an additional whole share in lieu of
that fractional share, calculated on the basis of the Exercise
Price.
4
7. Legends. Prior
to issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, all such
certificates representing such shares shall bear a restrictive legend to the
effect that the Shares represented by such certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and that the Shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence
of such registration or an exemption therefrom, such legend to be substantially
in the form of the bold-face language appearing at the top of Page 1 of this
Warrant.
8. Disposition of Warrants or
Shares. The Holder of this Warrant, each transferee hereof and
any holder and transferee of any Shares, by his or its acceptance thereof,
agrees that no public distribution of Warrants or Shares will be made in
violation of the provisions of the Securities Act. Furthermore, it
shall be a condition to the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee thereof
deliver to the Company his or its written agreement to accept and be bound by
all of the terms and conditions contained in this Warrant.
9. Merger or
Consolidation. The Company will not merge or consolidate with
or into any other corporation, or sell or otherwise transfer its property,
assets and business substantially as an entirety to another corporation, unless
the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation (if not the
Company), or such transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall expressly
assume, by supplemental agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Holder, the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every
covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the
Company.
10. Notices. Except
as otherwise specified herein to the contrary, all notices, requests, demands
and other communications required or desired to be given hereunder shall only be
effective if given in writing by certified or registered U.S. mail with return
receipt requested and postage prepaid; by private overnight delivery service
(e.g. Federal Express); by facsimile transmission (if no original documents or

11. Limitation on
Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon
any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof)
shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise
(or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose
beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.99%
of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The holder may waive the
restriction in whole or in part upon and effective after 61 days prior written
notice to the Company. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of
Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to
determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder
may receive in the event of a merger or other business combination or
reclassification involving the Company.
12. Governing

irrevocably waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum
for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction
with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party
prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of
all of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.
