      capital, consolidation, merger or amalgamation confer the right to
      purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Corporation or of
      the Corporation resulting from such capital reorganization,
      reclassification, consolidation, merger or amalgamation, as the case may

              The
      rights of the Holder evidenced hereby are to purchase shares prior to or
      on the date set out on the face of this Warrant.  If there

      reorganization of the authorized capital of the Corporation by way of
      consolidation, merger, subdivision, amalgamation or otherwise, or the
      payment of any stock dividends, then there shall automatically be an
      adjustment in either or both of the number of shares which may be
      purchased pursuant hereto or the price at which such shares may be
      purchased so that the rights evidenced hereby shall thereafter as
      reasonably as possible be equivalent to those originally granted
      hereby.  The Corporation shall have the sole and exclusive power
      to make such adjustments as it considers necessary and
      desirable.

of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and have been issued to the Holder
pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act on the representations of the
Holder in a subscription agreement executed by the Holder in favor of the
Corporation.  Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or
any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold,
transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act relating to such security or an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that registration is not
required under the Securities Act.  Each certificate for the Warrant,
the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and substance
satisfactory to counsel for the Corporation, setting forth the restrictions on
transfer contained in this Section.  By acceptance of this
certificate, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that:

              The
      Holder will only sell the Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise
      of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares") only in accordance with the
      provisions of Regulation S of the Securities Act, pursuant to registration
      under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from
      registration pursuant to the Securities
Act;

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              The
      Corporation will refuse to register any transfer of the Warrants and the
      Warrant Shares not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S
      of the Securities Act, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act,
      or pursuant to an available exemption from
  registration;

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              The
      Holder will not engage in hedging transactions except in accordance with
      the Securities Act;

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              The
      Holder is not entitled to any registration rights with respect to the
      Warrants or the Warrant Shares.

            


    

    


    All
certificates representing the Warrant Shares will be endorsed with the following
legend:

    


    “THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED

    In

legislation in addition to the Securities Act to which the Holder is subject in
selling or transferring any Warrants or Warrant Shares and the Corporation may

not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate until such tax or
other charge has been paid or it has been established to the Corporation’s
satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.
