exercised, in whole or in part, with respect to any then vested Warrant Shares,
at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the Initial
Exercise Date and ending on the Expiration Date, by surrender of this Warrant to
the Company at its principal office, accompanied by a subscription substantially
in the form attached hereto, executed by the Holder and accompanied by (a) wire
transfer of immediately available funds or (b) certified or official bank check
payable to the order of the Company, in each case in the amount obtained by
multiplying (i) the number of Warrant Shares (without giving effect to any
adjustment thereof pursuant to the provisions of hereof) for which the Warrant
is being exercised, as designated in such subscription, by (ii) the Exercise
Price.  Thereupon, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares
determined as provided for herein.

 

(b)           Conversion.  Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof
(including the vesting provisions set forth below), the Holder shall have the
right to convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, with respect to any then
vested Warrant Shares, at any time and from time to time during the period
commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and ending on the Expiration Date, by
surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by
a conversion notice substantially in the form attached hereto, executed by the
Holder. Thereupon, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares equal
to:

 

(i)            the excess of

 

(A) (x) the number of Warrant Shares determined as provided in Section 3 hereof
which such holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrant for
the number of Warrant Shares designated in such conversion notice (without
giving effect to any adjustment thereof pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.1(b)) for which the Warrant is then being exercised, as designated in
such conversion notice, multiplied by (y) the Current Market Price of each such
Warrant Share so receivable upon such exercise

 

over

 

(B) (x) the number of Warrant Shares (determined as provided in Section 3) which
such holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrant for the

(ii)           such Current Market Price of each such Warrant Share.

 

2.2           Vesting. This Warrant shall become exercisable with respect to
Warrant Shares (“vest”) as follows: (i) with respect to [     ](1) Warrant
Shares, on the 31st day following the Demand Date if a Demand Registration
Statement shall not have filed with the SEC by such date, (ii) with respect to
an additional [     ] Warrant Shares, on the 121st day following the Demand
Date, if a Demand Registration Statement shall not have been declared effective
by the SEC by such date, (iii) with respect to an additional [     ] Warrant
Shares, on the 151st day following the Demand Date, if a Demand Registration
Statement covering the resale of the Shares shall not have been declared
effective by the SEC by such date, and (iv) with respect to the remaining
[     ] Warrant Shares, on the 181st day following the Demand Date, if a Demand
Registration Statement covering the resale of the Shares shall not have been
declared effective by the SEC by such date; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrant Shares shall vest in accordance with
clauses (i)-(iv) above only to the extent that, after giving effect to such
vesting, such vesting will not result in the Holder (together with its
Affiliates) owning, holding or beneficially owning more than 9.9% of the Common
Stock (the “Ownership Limit”), and at any time, and from time to time, if the
Holder (together with its Affiliates) owns, holds or beneficially owns a
percentage less than the Ownership Limit, then this Warrant shall thereafter
continue to vest, first with respect to any Warrant Shares that would have
vested in accordance with clauses (i)-(iii) above but for the Ownership Limit
and second, otherwise in accordance with clauses (i)-(iii) above, but in each
case, again, only to the extent that, after giving effect to such vesting, such
vesting will not result in the Holder (together with its Affiliates) owning,
holding or beneficially owning more than the Ownership Limit; provided further
that no Warrant Shares shall “vest” and this Warrant shall immediately terminate
if in connection with the first Demand Request, (a) a Demand Registration
Statement is filed on or prior to the 31st day following the Demand Date and (b)
such Demand Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC prior
to the 121st day following the Demand Date.

the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to
afford to the Holder any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant;

name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant.

 

3.             Adjustment of Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as
follows:

 

3.1           Subdivision or Combination of Stock.  If at any time or from time
to time after the date hereof, the Company shall subdivide (by way of stock
dividend, stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be reduced
proportionately and the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest
whole share) shall be increased proportionately, and conversely, in the event
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (whether by stock
combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
increased proportionately and the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the
nearest whole share) shall be decreased proportionately.  The Exercise Price and
the number of Warrant Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same
manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this
Section 3.1.

 

3.2           Adjustment for Stock Dividends.  If at any time after the date
hereof, the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon
any class or series of stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares to be obtained upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
adjusted proportionately to reflect the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
or convertible securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such
dividend or distribution.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares,
as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any
successive event or events described in this Section 3.2.

 

3.3           Adjustments for Reclassifications.  If the Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any class(es) or series of stock, whether by
reclassification or otherwise (other than an adjustment under Sections 3.1 and
3.2 or a merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for under
Section 3.4), then and in each such event, the Holder hereof shall have the
right thereafter to convert each Warrant Share into the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
reclassification, or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock into which such Warrant Shares would have been convertible immediately
prior to such reclassification or change, all subject to successive adjustments
thereafter from time to time pursuant to and in accordance with, the provisions
of this Section 3.

 

3.4           Adjustments for Merger or Consolidation. In the event that, at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall (a) effect a
reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other Person, or (c) sell
or transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets or more than
50% of the voting capital stock of the Company (whether issued and outstanding,
newly issued, from treasury, or any combination thereof) to any other person
under any plan or arrangement contemplating the consolidation or merger, sale or
transfer, or dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, the Holder,
upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided in Section 2.1 hereof at any time
or from time to time after the consummation of such reorganization,
consolidation, merger or sale or the effective date of such dissolution, as the
case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable on such
exercise immediately prior to such consummation or such effective date, as the
case may be, the stock and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

property (including cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the
consummation of such consolidation or merger, or sale or transfer, or in
connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if the Holder had so
exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (assuming the payment by the
Holder of the Exercise Price therefor as required hereby in a form permitted
hereby, which payment shall be included in the assets of the Company for the
purposes of determining the amount available for distribution), all subject to
successive adjustments thereafter from time to time pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the provisions of this Section 3.

 

3.5           Continuation of Terms.  Upon any reorganization, consolidation,
merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any such transfer) referred to
in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the
terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of Common Stock and other
securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall
be binding upon the issuer of any such Common Stock or other securities,
including, in the case of any such transfer, the Person acquiring all or
substantially all of the properties or assets or more than 50% of the voting
capital stock of the Company (whether issued and outstanding, newly issued or
from treasury or any combination thereof), whether or not such Person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant.

 

3.6           Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
pursuant to this Section 3, this Warrant shall, without any action on the part
of the Holder, be adjusted in accordance with this Section 3, and the Company,
at its expense, promptly shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the
facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Company will
forthwith send a copy of each such certificate to the Holder in accordance with
Section 10.4 below.

 

4.             Registration Rights.  The initial holders of the Warrant Shares
and any permitted transferees of such rights in accordance with the terms
thereof shall be entitled to the registration rights and other rights applicable
to such shares provided by the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

5.             Notices of Record Date.  Upon (a) any establishment by the
Company of a record date of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or right or option to acquire securities of the

majority of the Company’s voting stock (whether newly issued, or from treasury,
or previously issued and then outstanding, or any combination thereof), the
Company shall mail to the Holder at least ten (10) business days, or such longer
period as may be required by law, prior to the record date specified therein, a

deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

warrants shall be exercisable for such number of Warrant Shares as the Holder
shall direct, provided that all of such new warrants shall represent, in the
aggregate, the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares and cash,
securities or other property, if any, which may be purchased by the Holder upon
exercise of this Warrant at the time of its surrender.

assignment, in the form attached hereto.  In the event of any such transfer of

number of Warrant Shares and cash, securities or other property, if any, which
may be purchased by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of its
surrender.

 

(b)           In the event of any transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant

warrant of like tenor to the transferee, representing the right to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares, and cash, securities or other property, if any, which
were purchasable by the Holder of the transferred portion of this Warrant, and
(ii) a new warrant of like tenor to the Holder, representing the right to
purchase the number of Warrant Shares, and cash, securities or other property,
if any, purchasable by the Holder of the un-transferred portion of this

of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as the absolute holder of this
Warrant and all right, title and interest therein for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

8.3           No Restrictions on Transfer.  Subject to compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws, this Warrant and any portion
hereof, the Warrant Shares and the rights hereunder

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

may be transferred by the Holder in its sole discretion at any time and to any
Person or Persons, including without limitation Affiliates and affiliated groups
of such Holder, without the consent of the Company.

 

8.4           Warrant Register.  The Company shall keep at its principal office
a register for the registration, and registration of transfers, of the
Warrants.  The name and address of each Holder of one or more of the Warrants,

of the Warrants shall be registered in such register.  The Company shall give to
any Holder of a Warrant promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct
copy of the names and addresses of all registered Holders of the Warrants.

 

9.             Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company
of evidence satisfactory to it of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of a
customary affidavit of the Holder and indemnity agreement, or, in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will
execute and deliver, or will instruct its transfer agent to execute and deliver,
a new Warrant of like tenor and date, and any such lost, stolen or destroyed
Warrant thereupon shall become void.

 

10.           General.

 

10.1         Authorized Shares, Reservation of Shares for Issuance.  At all
times while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall maintain its
corporate authority to issue, and shall have authorized and reserved for

any other capital stock or other securities as shall be sufficient to perform
its obligations under this Warrant (after giving effect to any and all
adjustments to the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant).

 

10.2         No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, sale or
other transfer of any of its assets or properties, 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 action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder hereunder against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a)
will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise,
and (b) will take all action that may be necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

or to receive dividends or to be deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at
any time be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for any purpose whatsoever,
nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder any
of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the
election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any
meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether
upon any recapitalization, issuance or reclassification of stock, change of par
value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or
otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings (except to the extent otherwise
provided in this Warrant), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, until

exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor

16.           Remedies. The 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. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision
of this Warrant or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense,
