2. Purchase Price; Number of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the registered holder of this Common Stock Warrant (the
"Holder"), commencing on the date of a Registration Failure, is entitled upon
surrender of this Common Stock Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto
duly executed, at the office of the Company, Lawrenceville Office Park, PO Box
5363, Princeton, New Jersey 08543-5363, or such other office as the Company
shall notify the Holder of in writing, to purchase from the Company at a price
per share (the "Purchase Price") of $0.015, [____________] fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company
(the "Common Stock"). Until such time as this Common Stock Warrant is exercised

3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid (i) in cash or
by check, (ii) by the surrender by the Holder to the Company of any promissory
notes or other obligations issued by the Company, with all such notes and
obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an
amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date
of surrender, (iii) through delivery by the Holder to the Company of other
securities issued by the Company, with such securities being credited against
the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the fair market value thereof, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"),
or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing. The Board shall promptly respond in

Common Stock Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Common Stock
Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice
annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company. Thereupon, the

election is made pursuant to this Section 4.
B = the Purchase Price in effect under this Common Stock Warrant
at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.
The Board shall promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the Holder as to
the fair market value of one share of Common Stock.
5. Partial Exercise. This Common Stock Warrant may be exercised in part,
and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated
as of the date of this Common Stock Warrant, covering the number of shares in
respect of which this Common Stock Warrant shall not have been exercised.
6. Issuance Date. The person or persons in whose name or names any
certificate representing shares of Common Stock is issued hereunder shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as
at the close of business on the date this Common Stock Warrant is exercised with
respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall
be closed.
7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Common Stock Warrant shall
expire at the close of business on [________ ___], 2013, and shall be void
thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Common Stock Warrant, to the
extent then exercisable, shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any further action on
behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Common Stock Warrant
would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence.
8. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at
all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number
of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive or similar
rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Common
Stock Warrant in full. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be
issued pursuant to the exercise of this Common Stock Warrant will, upon
issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
9. Dividends. If after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 15
hereof) the Company shall subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise,
or combine the Common Stock,
-3-
or issue additional shares of Common Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the
Common Stock, the number of shares issuable on the exercise of this Common Stock
Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a
subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a
combination, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased
in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in
the case of a combination.
10. Mergers and Reclassifications. If after the Original Issue Date there
shall be any reclassification, capital reorganization or change of the Common
Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend
provided for in Section 9 hereof), or any consolidation of the Company with, or
merger of the Company into, another corporation or other business organization
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the
outstanding Common Stock), or any sale or conveyance to another corporation or
other business organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, lawful provisions 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 thereafter have the
right to purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise
of this Common Stock Warrant in full, the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased by the
Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and in any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder
to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation, provisions
for the adjustment of the Purchase Price and the number of shares issuable
hereunder) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or
other securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof.
11. Reserved.
12. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Common

Common Stock, then the Company shall issue the next higher number of full shares
of Common Stock, issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.
13. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as

of a firm of independent public accountants setting forth the Purchase Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment.
14. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event of:

any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
(b) any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, capital
reorganization of the Company, consolidation or merger involving the Company, or
