      Section
2.                 Exercise.

       

      a)           Exercise of
Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the
Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a
duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form
annexed  hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company as it
may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of
such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); and, subject to Section 2(c) below,
within 3 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a
United States bank.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the
Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available
hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder
shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 3 Trading
Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of
a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have
the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such
purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice.  The
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a
portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available
for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on
the face hereof.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      b)           Exercise
Price.  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under
this Warrant shall be $0.50, subject to
adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).

       

      c)           Cashless
Exercise.  This Warrant may also be exercised at such time by
means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive
a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

       

      (A) = the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
election;

      


      (B) = the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and

      


      (X) = the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a
cashless exercise.

       

      Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be
automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).

      


      d)           Mechanics of
Exercise.

       

      i)           Authorization of Warrant
Shares.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which
may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant,
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
with such issue).

       

      ii)           Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise.  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder
shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by
crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust
Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the
Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical delivery to
the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3 Trading
Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender
of this Warrant (if required) and, except upon exercise hereof pursuant to Section 2(c), payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant Share Delivery
Date”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on
the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company, or, in the case of a
cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c), upon
delivery of the Notice of Exercise Form from the Holder.  The Warrant
Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record
of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised
by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise
pursuant to Section
2(c) above) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any,
pursuant to Section
2(d)(vii) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been
paid.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      iii)           Delivery of New Warrants
Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this
Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.

       

      iv)           Rescission
Rights.  If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant
Shares pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the
Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise.

       

      v)           Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker
to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s
brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder
in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell
order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the
option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had
the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The
Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company,
evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a
Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or
in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      vi)           No Fractional Shares or
Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

       

      vii)           Charges, Taxes and
Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other
incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which
taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be
issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by
the Holder; provided, however, that in the
event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the
name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder;
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

       

      viii)           Closing of
Books.  The Company will not close its stockholder books or
records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.

       

      Section
3.                 Certain
Adjustments.

       

      a)           Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on
shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not
include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number
of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of
the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted.  Any
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      b)           Subsequent Equity
Sales.  If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant
any option to purchase or sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or
otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option
to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price
per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”)
(if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall
at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset
provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or
due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with
such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective
price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be
deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the
Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to
equal the Base Share Price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever
such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.  The Company
shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b),
indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price,
exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance
Notice”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the
Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon
the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive
Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon
the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the
Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.

       

      c)           Subsequent Rights
Offerings.  If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to holders of Common Stock
(and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP at the record date
mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so
offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable
upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such
VWAP.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants
are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or
warrants.

       

      d)           Pro Rata
Distributions.  If the Company, at any time prior to the
Termination Date, shall distribute to holders of Common Stock (and not to the
Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash
dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other
than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(c)), then
in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record
date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such
record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the
portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to
one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be
described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable
to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever
any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          6

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      e)           Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the
Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its
assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or
exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant
to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other
securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this
Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any
additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all cash
transaction, cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance
with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula.  For purposes of any
such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of
Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price
among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative
value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or
property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be
given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To
the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to
the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to
the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing
the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The
terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected
shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply
with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and
insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.

       

      f)           Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be
made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 3, the number
of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      g)           Voluntary Adjustment By
Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant
reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time
deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

       

      h)           Notice to
Holder.

       

      i)           Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section
3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth
the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of
the facts requiring such adjustment.

       

      ii)           Notice to Allow Exercise by
Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common
Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder
at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company,
at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or

therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be specified in such notice.

       

      Section
4.                 Transfer of
Warrant.

       

      a)           Transferability.  Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Section 4(d)
hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable only to an Affiliate of the Holder, in
whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable
upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if
required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  A Warrant, if properly
assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares
without having a new Warrant issued.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          8

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      b)           New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance
with Section
4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice.

       

      c)           Warrant Register. The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.

       

      d)           Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall
not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that (i) the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company
a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, and (ii) the Holder
or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form
and substance acceptable to the Company, and (iii) the transferee be an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or
(a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer”
as defined in Rule 144A(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

       

      Section
5.                 Miscellaneous.

       

      a)           No Rights as Shareholder
Until Exercise.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(d)(ii).

       

      b)           Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          9

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      c)           Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not
be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.

       

      d)           Authorized
Shares.

       

      The
Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants
that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its
officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will
take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant
Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law
or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the
Common Stock may be listed.

       

      Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities 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 actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against
impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.

       

      Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.

       

      e)           Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Note.

       

      f)           Restrictions.  The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and federal securities laws.

       

      g)           Nonwaiver and
Expenses.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder,
the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          10

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      h)           Notices.  Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Note.

       

      i)           Limitation of
Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.

       

      j)           Remedies.  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 and not to assert
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

       

      k)           Successors and
Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and
permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are
intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant
and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.

       

      l)           Amendment.  This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.

       

      m)           Severability.  Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Warrant.

       

      n)           Headings.  The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
