      Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with offices at 2670 Commercial Avenue,
      Mingo Junction, Ohio (the “Company”),
      and
      Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, with
      offices at 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004 (the “Warrant

    WHEREAS,
      the Company is engaged in a public offering (the “Public
      Offering”)
      of
      units (the “Units”)
      and,
      in connection therewith, has determined to issue and deliver up to 5,175,000
      warrants (the “Public
      Warrants”)
      to the
      public investors, each of such Public Warrants evidencing the right of the
      holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per
      share, of the Company (the “Common
      Stock”)
      for
      $6.00 per share, subject to adjustments as described herein; 

    


    WHEREAS,
      the Company has filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a
      registration statement on Form S-1, No. 333-[_______] (the “Registration
      Statement”),
      for
      the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”),
      of,
      among other securities, the Public Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon
      exercise of the Public Warrants;

    


    WHEREAS,
      the Company has determined to issue and deliver, as part of an Underwriter’s
      purchase option, up to 225,000 warrants (“Representative’s

      Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. (“Morgan
      Joseph”
and/or
      the “Representative”)
      or its
      respective designee, which warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants;
      and

      sell
      1,041,667 warrants in a private placement, which warrants (the “Private
      Warrants”
and,
      with the Public Warrants and the Representative’s Warrants, the “Warrant(s)”)
      will
      be identical to the Public Warrants, subject to certain exceptions, as set
      forth
      in the Registration Statement;

    


    WHEREAS,
      the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and
      the
      Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance,
      registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants;
      

    


    WHEREAS,
      the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants,
      the
      terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights,
      limitation of rights and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the
      holders of the Warrants; and

    


    WHEREAS,
      all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make
      the
      Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on
      behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal
      obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of
      this
      Warrant Agreement.

    


    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
      parties hereto agree as follows:

    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    1. Appointment
      of Warrant Agent.
      The
      Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent
      for the
      Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment
      and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions
      set
      forth in this Agreement.

    


    2. Warrants.

    


    2.1 Form
      of Warrant.
      Each
      Warrant shall be issued in registered form only, shall be in substantially
      the
      form of Exhibit
      A
      hereto,
      the provisions of which are incorporated herein, and shall be signed by, or
      bear
      the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board or, the Chief Executive
      Officer or the President, and the Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary
      of
      the Company, and shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal. In the event the
      person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have
      ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before
      such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she
      had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

    


    2.2 Effect
      of Countersignature.
      Unless
      and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a
      Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder
      thereof.

    


    2.3 Registration.

    


    2.3.1 Warrant
      Register.
      The
      Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant
      Register”),
      for
      the registration of the original issuance and transfers of the Warrants. Upon
      the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register
      the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such
      denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the
      Warrant Agent by the Company.

    


    2.3.2 Registered
      Holder.
      Prior
      to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company
      and
      the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant
      shall
      be registered upon the Warrant Register (“registered
      holder”),
      as
      the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby
      (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the warrant
      certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for
      the
      purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the
      Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the
      contrary.

    


    2.4 Detachability
      of Warrants.
      The
      securities comprising the Units will not be separately transferable until 90
      days after the date hereof unless Morgan Joseph informs the Company of its
      decision to allow earlier separate trading, but in no event will Morgan Joseph
      allow separate trading of the securities comprising the Units until the Company
      files a Current Report on Form 8-K which includes an audited balance sheet
      reflecting the receipt by the Company of the gross proceeds of the Public
      Offering, including the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise
      of
      the underwriters’ over-allotment option, if the over-allotment option is
      exercised prior to the filing of the Form 8-K. If the over-allotment option
      is
      exercised after our initial filing of a Form 8-K, we will file an amendment
      to
      the Form 8-K to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise
      of
      the over-allotment option.

     

    3. Terms
      and Exercise of Warrants.

    


    3.1 Warrant
      Price.
      Each
      Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the registered
      holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Warrant
      Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock
      stated therein, at the price of $6.00 per whole share, subject to the
      adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this
      Section 3.1. The term “Warrant
      Price”
as
      used
      in this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per share at which Common Stock
      may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised; provided that any such
      reduction shall be identical in percentage terms among all of the Warrants,
      except that any amendment to the terms of the Representative's Warrants shall
      be
      subject to any limitations and conditions that may be imposed by NASD Corporate
      Financing Rule 2710. The Company, with the prior consent of the Representative,
      may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined
      below).

    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    3.2 Duration
      of Warrants.
      A
      Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise
      Period”)
      commencing on the later of (i) the consummation by the Company of a merger,
      capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar
      business combination, as described more fully in the Company’s Registration
      Statement (“Business
      Combination”)
      or
      (ii) [one year from the date of the prospectus] 2007,
      and
      terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier to occur of (i)
      [four years from the date of the prospectus], 2010 or (ii) the date fixed
      for redemption of the Warrants as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement
      (“Expiration
      Date”).
      Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as set forth
      in Section 6 hereunder), each Warrant not exercised on or before the
      Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights
      in
      respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on
      the
      Expiration Date. The Company, with the prior consent of the Representative,
      may
      extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration
      Date.

    


    3.3 Exercise
      of Warrants.

    


    3.3.1 Payment.
      Subject
      to the provisions of the Warrant and this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant, when
      countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised by the registered holder
      thereof by surrendering it, at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office
      of its successor as Warrant Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State
      of New York, with the subscription form, as set forth in the Warrant, duly
      executed, and (i) by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States,
      in
      cash, good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the
      Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company), the Warrant Price for each
      full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and
      all
      applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the
      exchange of the Warrant for the Common Stock, and the issuance of the Common
      Stock, or (ii) as to Private Warrants only, by surrendering his, her or its
      Private Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient
      obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock
      underlying the Warrant (or such portion thereof as the holder of such Private
      Warrant elects), multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and
      the
      Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) by (y) the Fair Market Value. The
      “Fair
      Market Value”
shall
      mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock (1) during the
      10
      trading day period ending on the trading day immediately proceeding the date
      of
      surrender of such Private Warrant or, (2) in the event that the Company has
      given a notice of redemption to the holder of such Private Warrant, the third
      business day prior to the date on which any notice of redemption is sent to
      holders of the Private Warrants pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

    


    3.3.2 Issuance
      of Certificates.
      As soon
      as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds
      in payment of the Warrant Price or upon surrender of the Private Warrant (or
      portion thereof) as set forth in Section 3.3.1(ii), the Company shall issue
      to
      the registered holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates representing
      the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled,
      registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and,
      if
      such Warrant shall not have been exercised or, if applicable, surrendered in
      full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of shares as to which such
      Warrant shall not have been exercised or, if applicable, surrendered.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver
      any
      securities pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant unless (i) a registration
      statement under the Act with respect to the issuance of the Common Stock upon
      exercise of such Warrant is effective, or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to
      the
      Company, the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the registration
      requirements of the Act and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt
      from qualification under applicable securities laws of the states or other
      jurisdictions in which the registered holder resides. Warrants may not be
      exercised by, or securities issued to, any registered holder in any state in
      which such exercise or issuance of Common Stock upon exercise thereof would
      be
      unlawful. In
      the
      event a registration statement under the Act with respect to the Common Stock
      underlying the Warrants is not effective, or because such exercise would be
      unlawful with respect to a registered holder in any state, the registered holder
      shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrants and such Warrants may have
      no
      value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be obligated to pay
      such registered holder any cash or other consideration or otherwise "net cash
      settle" the Warrant. Furthermore, in the event that a registration statement
      is
      not effective under the Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the
      Warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such Warrant will have paid the
      full purchase price for the Unit solely for the shares included in such
      Unit.

     

    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    3.3.3 Valid
      Issuance.
      All
      shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise or, if applicable,
      surrender of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly
      issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

    


    3.3.4 Date
      of Issuance.
      Each
      person or entity in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock
      is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record
      of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment
      of
      the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such
      certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date
      when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person or entity
      shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of
      business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are
      open.

    


    4. Adjustments.

    


    4.1 Stock
      Dividends - Split-Ups.
      If,
      after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below,
      the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock
      dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common
      Stock, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock
      dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock
      issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such
      increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

    


    4.2 Aggregation
      of Shares.
      If
      after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, the
      number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation,
      combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock
      or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation,
      combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number
      of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be
      decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common
      Stock.

    


    4.3 Adjustments
      in Exercise Price.
      Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise
      of
      the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, the
      Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such
      Warrant Price, immediately prior to such adjustment, by a fraction, (i) the
      numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
      upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and
      (ii)
      the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so
      purchasable immediately thereafter.

    


    4.4 Replacement
      of Securities upon Reorganization, etc.
      In case
      of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common
      Stock (other than a change covered by Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof or one
      that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or, in the
      case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
      corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
      continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or
      reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or, in the case
      of
      any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other
      property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in
      connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Warrant holders shall
      thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon
      the
      terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of
      Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
      upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of
      shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable
      upon
      such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a
      dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Warrant holder would
      have received if such Warrant holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s)
      immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in
      a
      change in shares of Common Stock covered by Sections 4.1 or 4.2, then such
      adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and this
      Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply
      to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations,
      sales or other transfers.

    4.5 Notices
      of Changes in Warrant.
      Upon
      every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon
      exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the
      Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such
      adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares
      purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in
      reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
      calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections
      4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 the Company shall give written notice to each Warrant
      holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register,
      of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such
      notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of
      such
      event.

    


    4.6 No
      Fractional Shares.
      Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant Agreement to the
      contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exercise of
      Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4,
      the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant,
      to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such
      exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of the shares of
      Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.

    


    4.7 Form
      of Warrant.
      The
      form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this
      Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same
      Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants
      initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any
      time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant that the
      Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof,
      and
      any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or
      substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as
      so
      changed.

    


    5. Transfer
      and Exchange of Warrants.

    


    5.1 Registration
      of Transfer.
      The
      Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding
      Warrant into the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer,
      properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by
      appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant
      representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the
      old
      Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants so cancelled
      shall
      be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon the
      Company’s request.

    


    5.2 Procedure
      for Surrender of Warrants.
      Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written
      request for exchange or transfer, and, thereupon, the Warrant Agent shall issue
      in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the registered
      holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number
      of
      Warrants; provided, however, that, in the event a Warrant surrendered for
      transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such
      Warrant and shall issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant
      Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such
      transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear
      a
      restrictive legend.

    5.3 Fractional
      Warrants.
      The
      Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer
      or
      exchange which will result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a
      fraction of a warrant.

    


    5.4 Service
      Charges.
      No
      service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of
      Warrants.

    


    5.5 Warrant
      Execution and Countersignature.
      The
      Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance
      with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant
      to
      the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever required by the
      Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on
      behalf of the Company for such purpose.

    


    6) Redemption.

    


    6.1 Redemption.
      Subject
      to Section 6.4 hereof and the penultimate sentence of this Section 6.1, not
      less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of
      the
      Company, at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their
      expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon the notice referred to
      in
      Section 6.2, at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (“Redemption
      Price”),
      provided that the last sales price of the Common Stock has been equal to or
      greater than $11.50 per share on each of twenty (20) trading days within any
      thirty (30) trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the
      date on which notice of redemption is given. No Private Warrants shall be
      redeemable so long as such Private Warrant is held by the original person or
      entity to which the Company issued such Private Warrant. The provisions of
      this
      Section 6.1 may not be modified, amended or deleted without the prior
      written consent of Morgan Joseph.

    


    6.2 Date
      Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption.
      In the
      event the Company shall elect to redeem all of the Warrants, the Company shall
      fix a date for the redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first
      class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to
      the
      date fixed for redemption to the registered holders of the Warrants to be
      redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Warrant Register.
      Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed
      to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder received such
      notice.

    


    6.3 Exercise
      After Notice of Redemption.
      The
      Warrants may be exercised in accordance with Section 3 of this Warrant
      Agreement at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the
      Company pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the time and date fixed
      for redemption. On and after the redemption date, the record holder of the
      Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of
      the
      Warrants, the Redemption Price.

    


    6.4 Outstanding
      Warrants Only.
      The
      Company understands that the redemption rights provided for by this
      Section 6 apply only to outstanding Warrants. To the extent a person holds
      rights to purchase Warrants, such purchase rights shall not be extinguished
      by
      redemption. However, once such purchase rights are exercised, the Company may
      redeem the Warrants issued upon such exercise, provided that the criteria for
      redemption is met. The provisions of this Section 6.4 may not be modified,
      amended or deleted without the prior written consent of Morgan
      Joseph.

    7. Other
      Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

    


    7.1 No
      Rights as Stockholder.
      A
      Warrant does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights
      of a
      stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive
      dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or
      to
      consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of
      stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other
      matter.

    


    7.2 Lost,
      Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants.
      If any
      Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant
      Agent may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their
      discretion impose (which terms shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant,
      include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor
      and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new
      Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company,
      whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall
      be at any time enforceable by anyone.

    


    7.3 Reservation
      of Common Stock.
      The
      Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized
      but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the
      exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant
      Agreement.

    


    7.4 Registration
      of Common Stock.
The
      Company agrees that
      prior to
      the commencement of the Exercise Period, it shall file with the Securities
      and
      Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement,
      or
      a new registration statement, for the registration,
      under
      the Act of
      the
      Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants,
      and it
      shall take such action as is necessary to qualify for sale,
      in those
      states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company, the Common
      Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. In
      either
      case, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become
      effective on
      or
      prior to the commencement of the Exercise Period and
      to
      maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration
      of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant
      Agreement.
      In
      addition, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to register such
      securities under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of exercising
      warrant holders, if permitted by the blue sky laws of such jurisdictions, in
      the
      event that an exemption is not available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
      Warrant may expire worthless regardless of whether a registration statement
      is
      current under the Act with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
      of
      the Warrants. In no event will the registered holder of a Warrant be entitled
      to
      receive a net-cash settlement, shares of Common Stock or other consideration
      in
      lieu of physical settlement in shares of Common Stock, regardless of whether
      the
      Company complies with this Section 7.4.
      The
      provisions of this Section 7.4 may not be modified, amended or deleted without
      the prior written consent of Morgan Joseph.
       

    

    


    8. Concerning
      the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.

    


    8.1 Payment
      of Taxes.
      The
      Company will, from time to time, promptly pay all taxes and charges that may
      be
      imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or
      delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the
      Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the
      Warrants or such shares.

    


    8.2 Resignation,
      Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.

    


    8.2.1 Appointment
      of Successor Warrant Agent.
      The
      Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties
      and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving
      sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant
      Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the
      Company shall appoint, in writing, a successor Warrant Agent in place of the
      Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a
      period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation
      or
      incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of the Warrant (who shall,
      with
      such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company),
      then
      the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New
      York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant
      Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by
      such
      court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
      State
      of New York, in good standing and have its principal office in the Borough
      of
      Manhattan, City and State of New York, and be authorized under such laws to
      exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
      federal or state authorities. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent
      shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties
      and
      obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally
      named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but, if
      for
      any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent
      shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument
      transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and
      rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and, upon request of any
      successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and
      deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually
      vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority,
      powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.

    8.2.2 Notice
      of Successor Warrant Agent.
      In the
      event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give
      notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for
      the
      Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such
      appointment.

    


    8.2.3 Merger
      or Consolidation of Warrant Agent.
      Any
      corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may
      be
      consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation
      to
      which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent
      under this Warrant Agreement without any further act on the part of the Company
      or the Warrant Agent.

    


    8.3 Fees
      and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

    


    8.3.1 Remuneration.
      The
      Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services
      as Warrant Agent hereunder as set forth on Exhibit
      B
      hereto
      and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that
      the
      Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties
      hereunder.

    


    8.3.2 Further
      Assurances.
      The
      Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
      performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further and other
      acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant
      Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Warrant
      Agreement.

    


    8.4 Liability
      of Warrant Agent.

    


    8.4.1 Reliance
      on Company Statement.
      Whenever, in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement, the
      Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter
      be
      proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action
      hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be
      herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and
      established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman
      of
      the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent
      may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith
      by
      it pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

    


    8.4.2 Indemnity.
      The
      Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own negligence, willful
      misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent
      and
      save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs
      and
      reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent
      in
      the execution of this Warrant Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant
      Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

      this
      Warrant Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant
      (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any
      breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant
      Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make any adjustments
      required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the
      manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the
      existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it, by
      any
      act hereunder, be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the
      authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant
      to this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common
      Stock will when issued be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.

      provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of
      this
      Warrant Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or
      unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and
      enforceable.
