    THIS
      COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”)
      certifies that, for value received, _____________ (the “Holder”)
      is
      entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the
      conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the
      “Initial
      Exercise Date”)
      and on
      or prior to the close of business on the five year anniversary of the Initial
      Exercise Date (the “Termination
      Date”)
      but
      not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from GenSpera, Inc., a Delaware
      corporation (the “Company”),
      up to
      ______ shares (the “Warrant

      of

      shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). 

     

    Section
      1. Definitions.
      Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
      set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
      Agreement”),
      dated

      thereto.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    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 Initial Exercise Date
      and
      on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (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 the Holder appearing on the books of the
      Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form
      annexed hereto; and, within 3 Business 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
      Business 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. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the
      Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
      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.

     

    b) Exercise
      Price.
      The
      exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
$2.00,
      subject
      to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
      Price”).

     

    c) Cashless
      Exercise.
      If at
      any time after the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary of the date of the
      Purchase Agreement and (ii) the completion of the then-applicable holding period
      required by Rule 144, or any successor provision then in effect, there is no
      effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available
      for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then 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 Business 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).


    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    d) Exercise
      Limitations.
      The
      Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not
      have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section
      2 or
      otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after
      exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together
      with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group
      together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially
      own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). 
For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
      beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number
      of
      shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect
      to
      which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares
      of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining,
      nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any
      of
      its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
      portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
      any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or
      exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by
      the
      Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding
      sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be
      calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
      and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder
      that
      the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in
      compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely
      responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.
      To
      the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the
      determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
      securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which
      portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the
      Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the
      Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to
      other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which
      portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial
      Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or
      confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as
      to
      any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with
      Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
      thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of
      outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
      outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) Schedule
      3.1(g)
      to the
      Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement
      by
      the Company or (C) any other notice by the Company or the transfer agent of
      the
      Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. 
Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two
      Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares
      of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding
      shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion
      or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder
      or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares
      of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial
      Ownership Limitation”
shall
      be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
      after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
      exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice
      to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
      provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership
      Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common
      Stock
      outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
      Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of
      this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will
      not be effective until the 61st
      day
      after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph
      shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict
      conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or
      any
      portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
      Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or
      supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
      The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder
      of
      this Warrant.

    e) Mechanics
      of Exercise.
      

     

    i. 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 then a participant in such system and either (A) there is
      an
      effective Registration Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares
      by
      the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale without volume or
      manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical
      delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within
      3 Business Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise
      Form,
      surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise
      Price as set forth above (the “Warrant
      Share Delivery Date”).
      This
      Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price
      is
      received by the Company. 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, if permitted) and all taxes required to be
      paid
      by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of
      such shares, have been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver
      to
      the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of
      Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the
      Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000
      of
      Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock
      on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Business Day
      (increasing to $20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after such
      liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant
      Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    ii. 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.

     

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

     

    iv. 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 the transfer agent of the Company to transmit to the Holder a certificate
      or the 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 (A) 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 (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 with an aggregate sale price
      giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) 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.

    v. 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.

     

    vi. 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.

     

    vii. 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.

    f) Call
      Provision.
      Subject
      to the provisions of Section 2(d) and this Section 2(f), if, after the Effective
      Date, (i) the VWAP for each of 20 consecutive Business Days (the “Measurement
      Period,”
which
      20 consecutive Business Day period shall not have commenced until after the
      Effective Date) exceeds $4.00 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse
      stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after the Initial
      Exercise Date), (ii) the average daily minimum volume for such Measurement
      Period exceeds 75,000 shares of Common Stock per Business Day (subject to
      adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock
      dividends and the like after the Initial Exercise Date), (iii) the Holder is
      not
      in possession of any information that constitutes, or might constitute, material
      non-public information which was provided by the Company, and (iv) there is
      an
      effective Registration Statement pursuant to which the Holder is permitted
      to
      utilize the prospectus thereunder to resell all of the shares issuable pursuant
      to the Transaction Documents (and the Company believes, in good faith, that
      such
      effectiveness will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future) then,
      the
      Company may, within 1 Business Day of the end of such Measurement Period, call
      for cancellation of all or any portion of this Warrant for which a Notice of
      Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a “Call”)
      for
      consideration equal to $.001 per Share. To exercise this right, the Company
      must
      deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a “Call
      Notice”),
      indicating therein the portion of unexercised portion of this Warrant to which
      such notice applies. If the conditions set forth below for such Call are
      satisfied from the period from the date of the Call Notice through and including
      the Call Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant subject
      to
      such Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received
      by
      the Call Date will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the
      20th
      Business
      Day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder (such date and
      time, the “Call
      Date”).
      Any
      unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain
      will be unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company
      covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect
      to
      Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered through 6:30 p.m.
      (New
      York City time) on the Call Date. The parties agree that any Notice of Exercise
      delivered following a Call Notice which calls less than all the Warrants shall
      first reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to such Call Notice
      prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for purchase under
      this
      Warrant. For example, if (A) this Warrant then permits the Holder to acquire
      100
      Warrant Shares, (B) a Call Notice pertains to 75 Warrant Shares, and (C) prior
      to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date the Holder tenders a Notice
      of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares, then (x) on the Call Date the
      right
      under this Warrant to acquire 25 Warrant Shares will be automatically cancelled,
      (y) the Company, in the time and manner required under this Warrant, will have
      issued and delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares in respect of the exercises
      following receipt of the Call Notice, and (z) the Holder may, until the
      Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant Shares (subject to
      adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Call Notices). Subject
      again to the provisions of this Section 2(f), the Company may deliver subsequent
      Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the Holder shall not
      have
      delivered a Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
      forth in this Warrant, the Company may not deliver a Call Notice or require
      the
      cancellation of this Warrant (and any such Call Notice shall be void), unless,
      from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the Call Date, (1) the
      Company shall have honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all
      Notices of Exercise delivered by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call
      Date, and (2) the Registration Statement shall be effective as to all Warrant
      Shares and the prospectus thereunder available for use by the Holder for the
      resale of all such Warrant Shares, and (3) the Common Stock shall be listed
      or
      quoted for trading on the Trading Market, and (4) there is a sufficient number
      of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all Securities under the
      Transaction Documents, and (5) the issuance of the shares shall not cause a
      breach of any provision of 2(d) herein. The Company’s right to call the Warrants
      under this Section 2(f) shall be exercised ratably among the Holders based
      on
      each Holder’s initial purchase of Warrants.

    Section
      3. Certain
      Adjustments.

     

    a) Stock
      Dividends and Splits.
      If the
      Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock
      dividend or otherwise make 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),
      (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
      shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
      shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) 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 such that the
      aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. 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.

     

    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, 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 and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall
      be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after
      taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the
      aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be
      made
      whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued
      under this Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall
      notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Business 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 all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders)
      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 while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to
      all
      holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) 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(b)), 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.

    e) Fundamental
      Transaction.
      If, at
      any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger
      or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company
      effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
      of
      related transactions, (iii) 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 (iv) 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
      (each “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, 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 as a result of such 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. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a
      Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3
      transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a
      Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national
      securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market,
      or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any successor entity shall pay
      at
      the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days
      after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, an amount of cash equal
      to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes
      Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (A)
      a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for
      the
      Business Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable
      Fundamental Transaction, (B) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the
      U.S.
      Treasury rate for a 30 day period immediately prior to the consummation of
      the
      applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) an expected volatility equal to the
      100
      day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as
      of the Business Day immediately following the public announcement of the
      applicable Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to
      the
      time between the date of the public announcement of such transaction and the
      Termination Date. 

     

    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.

    g) 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. If the Company enters into a Variable
      Rate
      Transaction, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the
      Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
      at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities
      may
      be converted or exercised. 

     

    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,
      or (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 20 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 share exchange; 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
      period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
      triggering 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 and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase
      Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
      any registration rights) are transferable, 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,
      as applicable, 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. The Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised
      by a
      new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant
      issued. 

     

    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. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated
      the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as
      to
      the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto. 

     

    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
      either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under
      the
      Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii)
      eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant
      to
      Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer,
      that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with
      the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

     

    Section
      5. Miscellaneous.

     

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

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    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.

     

    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.
      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).


     

    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.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    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
      Purchase Agreement.

     

    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.

     

    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 Purchase Agreement.

     

    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.
      The
      Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
      including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of
      its
      rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not
      be
      adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of
      the
      provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the
      defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
      adequate.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    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 the 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 Holders holding Warrants at least equal
      to
      67% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all then outstanding
      Warrants.

     

    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.
