1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF
WARRANTS


 


(a) Exercise
Period. The Holder may exercise
this Warrant in whole or in part on any Business Day on or before
5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, at which time this
Warrant shall become void and of no value.


 


(b) Exercise
Procedures.


 


(i) While this Warrant remains outstanding and
exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a), in addition to the
manner set forth in Section 1(b)(ii) below, the Holder may exercise
this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time
by:


 


(A) delivery
to the Company of a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise
attached as Exhibit A;


 


(B) surrender
of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal
offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may
specify in writing to the Holder; and


 


(C) payment of
the then-applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the
number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of the
Warrant (such amount, the “Aggregate Exercise
Price”) made in the form
of cash, or by certified check, bank draft or money order payable
in lawful money of the United States of America or in the form of a
Cashless Exercise to the extent permitted in Section 1(b)(ii)
below.


 


(ii) In
addition to the provisions of Section 1(b)(i) above, if any time
after the Registration Default Date (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement of even date herewith, by and among the
Company, the Holder and the other subscribers of the
Company’s securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreements
(the “Registration Rights
Agreement”)), a
registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares by
the Holder is not effective with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), the Holder may, in its sole discretion,
exercise all or any part of the Warrant in a “cashless”
or “net-issue” exercise (a “Cashless
Exercise”) by delivering
to the Company (1) the Notice of Exercise and (2) the original
Warrant, pursuant to which the Holder shall surrender the right to
receive upon exercise of this Warrant, a number of Warrant Shares
having a value (as determined below) equal to the Aggregate
Exercise Price, in which case, the number of Warrant Shares to be
issued to the Holder upon such exercise shall be calculated using
the following formula:


 



 

2







 






 


X              =              Y
* (A - B)


       A


 


	
 

	
with:

	
X=

	
 the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the
Holder


	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
 

	
Y=

	
 the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being
exercised


	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
 

	
A=

	
 the
fair value per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of
this Warrant


	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
 

	
B=

	
 the then-current Exercise Price of the
Warrant






 

Solely for the purposes of this paragraph,
“fair
value” per share of
Common Stock shall mean the average Closing Price (as defined
below) per share of Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days
immediately preceding the date on which the Notice of Exercise is
deemed to have been sent to the Company. “Closing
Price” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses
that applies:  (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or
quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ
Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ
Capital Market or any other national securities exchange, the
closing price per share of the Common Stock for such date (or the
nearest preceding date) on the primary eligible market or exchange
on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; (b) if prices
for the Common Stock are then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or
any tier of the OTC Markets, the closing bid price per share of the
Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) so
quoted; or (c) if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in
the “Pink Sheets” published by the National Quotation
Bureau Incorporated (or a similar organization or agency succeeding
to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent closing bid
price per share of the Common Stock so reported. If the Common
Stock is not publicly traded as set forth above, the “fair
value” per share of Common Stock shall be reasonably and in
good faith determined by the Board of Directors of the Company as
of the date which the Notice of Exercise is deemed to have been
sent to the Company.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, provided that a registration statement (including
any post-effective amendment) covering the resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder has (x) been declared effective by the SEC and
(y) has been effective for an aggregate period of one year, any
Cashless Exercise right hereunder shall thereupon
terminate.


 


For
purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares
issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have
been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for such shares
shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was
originally issued.


 


(iii)           Upon
the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with the provisions of
this Section 1(b), and except as limited pursuant to the last
paragraph of Section 1(b)(ii), the Company shall promptly issue and
cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant
Shares purchased by the Holder. Each exercise of this Warrant shall
be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date
(the “Date of
Exercise”) that the
conditions set forth in Section 1(b) have been satisfied, as the
case may be. On the first Business Day following the date on which
the Company has received each of the Notice of Exercise and the
Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise in
accordance with Section 1(b)(ii)) (the “Exercise Delivery
Documents”), the Company
shall transmit an acknowledgment of receipt of the Exercise
Delivery Documents to the Company’s transfer agent (the
“Transfer
Agent”). On or before the
third Business Day following the date on which the Company has
received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the
“Share
Delivery Date”), the
Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating
in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its
designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is
not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as
specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in
the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its
designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all
corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been
exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates
evidencing such Warrant Shares.

(iv)           If
the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to
the Holder, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such
shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to
credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the
Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such
Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall, (A) pay in cash
to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the
“Buy-In
Amount”) plus the amount
paid by the Holder to the Company as the exercise price for the
Warrant Shares exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1)
the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed, and (B) 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, and paid the Company $5,000 as the exercise
price, the Holder’s cash outlay would be a total of $16,000;
and if the aggregate sales price of the shares giving rise to such
Buy-In obligation was $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$6,000. 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.

(c) Partial
Exercise. This Warrant shall be
exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for part
only of the number of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant. If
this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant
to Section 1 and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this
Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the actual number of
Warrant Shares being acquired upon such an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as
practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after
any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant of like
tenor representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this
Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant is exercised.


 


(d) Disputes.
In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise
Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the
Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant
Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance
with Section 16.


 


2. ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES


 


(a) The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be (i) duly authorized,
fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all liens,
charges and security interests, with the exception of claims
arising through the acts or omissions of any Holder and except as
arising from applicable Federal and state securities
laws.


 


(b) The
Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained
by the Company for that purpose in the name of the record holder of
such Warrant from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the
registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for
the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder
thereof and for all other purposes.


 


(c) The
Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation,
by-laws 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 to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant
and in the taking of all action necessary or appropriate in order
to protect the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant, or
against impairment of such rights.

3.            ADJUSTMENTS
OF EXERCISE PRICE, NUMBER AND TYPE OF WARRANT
SHARES


 


(a) The Exercise Price and the number of shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events
described in this Section 3; provided,
that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, the Company
shall not be required to make any adjustment if and to the extent
that such adjustment would require the Company to issue a number of
shares of Common Stock in excess of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, less all amounts of Common Stock that have
been reserved for issue upon the conversion of all outstanding
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock and the exercise
of all outstanding options, warrants and other rights exercisable
for shares of Common Stock. If the Company does not have the
requisite number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
to make any adjustment, the Company shall use its commercially best
efforts to obtain the necessary stockholder consent to increase the
authorized number of shares of Common Stock to make such an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.


 


(i) Subdivision or
Combination of Stock. In case
the Company shall at any time subdivide (whether by way of stock
dividend, stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares shall be
proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined (whether by
way of 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 proportionately increased and
the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
The Exercise Price and the 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(a)(i).


 


(ii) Dividends in Stock,
Property, Reclassification. If
at any time, or from time to time, all of the holders of Common
Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received
or become entitled to receive, without payment
therefore:


 


(A) any shares of stock or other securities that
are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing
by way of dividend or other distribution, or


 


(B) additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,
reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate
rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock
split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the
terms of Section 3(a)(i) above),


 



then and in each such case, the Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares to be obtained upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be adjusted proportionately, and the Holder hereof shall, upon the
exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to
the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the
amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash
in the cases referred to above) that such Holder would hold on the
date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of
such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock
received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other
additional stock and other securities and property. The Exercise
Price and the 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(a)(ii).


 



 

6







 






(iii)           Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any recapitalization,
reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the
Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets
or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or
other assets or property (an “Organic
Change”), then, as a condition of
such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made
by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the
right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common
Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and
receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or
property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange
for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to
the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable assuming the full exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change,
appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to
the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end
that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation,
provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number
of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and registration rights) shall thereafter be applicable, in
relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company will not affect
any such consolidation, merger or sale unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the
Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the
corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written
instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder
hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of
the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares
of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. If there is an
Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the
Holder at its last address as it shall appear on the books and
records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the
effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on
which such Organic Change 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 for
securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic
Change; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the
10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the
effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event,
the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting
from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing
such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to
such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the
absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the
extent such assumption occurs by operation of
law.


 



 

7







 






(b)           Certificate
as to Adjustments. Upon the
occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this
Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and
furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company
shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a
like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and
readjustments; and (ii) the number of shares and the amount, if
any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the
exercise of the Warrant.


 


(c)           Certain
Events. If any event occurs as
to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly
applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not fairly protect
the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance
with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if
strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of
the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent
and principles of such provisions, then the Company's Board of
Directors will, in good faith, make an appropriate adjustment to
protect the rights of the Holder; provided,
that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c) will increase
the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section
3.


 


4.            REDEMPTION
OF WARRANTS


(a)           General.
Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall have the option,
subject to the conditions set forth herein, to redeem all of the
Warrants then outstanding upon not less than thirty (30) days nor
more than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Warrant
Holders at any time provided that, at the time of delivery of such
notice (i) there is an effective registration statement
covering the resale of the Warrant Shares, and (ii) the Closing Price of the
Company’s Common Stock for each of the twenty (20)
consecutive Trading Days prior to the date of the notice of
redemption is at least $12.50, as proportionately adjusted to
reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares or
like events. It is contemplated that Aegis Capital Corp. will be
retained as solicitation agent in the event the Company elects to
redeem the Warrants and shall be paid a fee of 5% of the gross
proceeds derived from the exercise of the Warrants in such
event.


 


(b)           Notice.
Notice of redemption will be effective upon mailing in accordance
with this Section and such date may be referred to below as the
“Notice Date.” 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 Holders of the
Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall
appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given whether or not the Holder received such
notice.


 


(c)           Redemption
Date and Redemption Price. The
notice of redemption shall state the date set for redemption, which
date shall be not less than thirty (30) days, or more than sixty
(60) days, from the Notice Date (the “Redemption
Date”). The Company shall
not mail the notice of redemption unless all funds necessary to pay
for redemption of the Warrants to be redeemed shall have first been
set aside by the Company for the benefit of the Warrant Holders so
as to be and continue to be available therefor. The redemption
price to be paid to the Warrant Holders will be $0.0001 for each
share of Common Stock of the Company to which the Warrant Holder
would then be entitled upon exercise of the Warrant being redeemed,
as adjusted from time to time as provided herein (the
“Redemption
Price”).


 



 

8







 






(d) Exercise.
Following the Notice Date, the Warrant Holders may exercise their
Warrants in accordance with Section 1 of this Warrant between the
Notice Date and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption Date and
such exercise shall be timely if the form of election to purchase
duly executed and the Warrant Exercise Price for the shares of
Common Stock to be purchased are actually received by the Company
at its principal offices prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the
Redemption Date.


 


(e) Mailing.
If any Warrant Holder does not wish to exercise any Warrant being
redeemed, he should mail such Warrant to the Company at its
principal offices after receiving the notice of redemption. On and
after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption Date,
notwithstanding that any Warrant subject to redemption shall not
have been surrendered for redemption, the obligation evidenced by
all Warrants not surrendered for redemption or effectively
exercised shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and all rights
with respect thereto shall forthwith cease and terminate, except
only the right of the holder of each Warrant subject to redemption
to receive the Redemption Price for each share of Common Stock to
which he would be entitled if he exercised the Warrant upon
receiving notice of redemption of the Warrant subject to redemption
held by him.


 


5. TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF WARRANT AND WARRANT
SHARES


 


(a) Registration of
Transfers and Exchanges.
Subject to Section 5(c), upon the Holder’s surrender of this
Warrant, with a duly executed copy of the Form of Assignment
attached as Exhibit B, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal
offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may
specify in writing to the Holder, the Company shall register the
transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant. Upon such
registration of transfer, the Company shall issue a new Warrant, in
substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing the acquisition
rights transferred to the transferee and a new Warrant, in similar
form, evidencing the remaining acquisition rights not transferred,
to the Holder requesting the transfer.


 


(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different
Denominations. The Holder may exchange this Warrant for a
new Warrant or Warrants, in substantially the form of this Warrant,
evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder, each of such
new Warrants to be dated the date of such exchange and to represent
the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as shall be
designated by the Holder. The Holder shall surrender this Warrant
with duly executed instructions regarding such re-certification of
this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal
offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may
specify in writing to the Holder.


 



 

9







 






(c)           Restrictions
on Transfers. This Warrant may
not be transferred at any time without (i) registration under the
Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from such registration and a
written opinion of legal counsel addressed to the Company that the
proposed transfer of the Warrant may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, which opinion will be in
form and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.


 


(d)           Permitted
Transfers and Assignments.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 5,
the Holder may transfer, with or without consideration, this
Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares (or a portion thereof) to the
Holder’s Affiliates (as such term is defined under Rule 144
of the Securities Act) without obtaining the opinion from counsel
that may be required by Section 5(c)(ii), provided,
that the Holder delivers to the
Company and its counsel certification, documentation, and other
assurances reasonably required by the Company’s counsel to
enable the Company’s counsel to render an opinion to the
Company’s Transfer Agent that such transfer does not violate
applicable securities laws.


 


6. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT
CERTIFICATE


 


If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon request by the Holder, the Company will, at its
expense, issue, in exchange for and upon cancellation of the
mutilated Warrant, or in substitution for the lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant, a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this
Warrant, representing the right to acquire the equivalent number of
Warrant Shares; provided,
that, as a prerequisite to the issuance of a substitute Warrant,
the Company may require satisfactory evidence of loss, theft or
destruction as well as an indemnity from the Holder of a lost,
stolen or destroyed Warrant.


 


7. PAYMENT OF TAXES


 


The Company will pay all transfer and stock
issuance taxes attributable to the preparation, issuance and
delivery of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (and replacement
Warrants) including, without limitation, all documentary and stamp
