    WARRANT
      TO PURCHASE _______ SHARES OF

    COMMON
      STOCK, PAR VALUE $0.001 PER SHARE

    


    For
      VALUE
      RECEIVED, ______________ (“Warrantholder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to
      the provisions of this Warrant, from Arbios Systems, Inc., a Delaware
      corporation (“Company”), at any time not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on
      the Expiration Date (as defined above), at an exercise price per share equal
      to
      $1.50 (the exercise price in effect being herein called the “Warrant Price”),
      ________ shares (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value
      $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
      exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment
      from time to time as described herein.

    


    Section
      1. Registration.
      The
      Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrant.

      the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.

    


    Section
      2. Transfers.
      As
      provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration
      statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
      Act”), or an exemption from such registration. Subject to such restrictions, the
      Company shall transfer this Warrant from time to time upon the books to be
      maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer
      properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and
      such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Company, including,
      if
      required by the Company, an opinion of its counsel to the effect that such
      transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
      to
      establish that such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof,
      and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant
      shall be canceled by the Company.

    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Section
      3. Exercise
      of Warrant.
      (a)
      Subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant
      in
      whole or in part at any time prior to its expiration upon surrender of the
      Warrant, together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form
      attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Exercise Agreement”) and payment by cash,
      certified check or wire transfer of funds for the aggregate Warrant Price for
      that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal
      business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices
      (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice
      to
      the Warrantholder). The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued
      to the Warrantholder or the Warrantholder’s designee, as the record owner of
      such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant
      shall
      have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and
      security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company), the Warrant Price shall
      have
      been paid and the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered.
      Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate
      number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to
      the
      Warrantholder within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days,
      after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered
      shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Warrantholder and
      shall be registered in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as
      shall
      be designated by the Warrantholder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised
      only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at
      its
      expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the
      Warrantholder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect
      to
      which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. As used herein, “business
      day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in New York
      City are open for the general transaction of business. Each exercise hereof
      shall constitute the re-affirmation by the Warrantholder that the
      representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement
      dated March 2, 2006, among the Company and the Investors named therein (the
      “Purchase Agreement”), are true and correct in all material respects with
      respect to the Warrantholder as of the time of such exercise.

     

    If
      at any
      time after one year from the date of issuance of this Warrant there is no
      effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
      Agreement relating to the Warrant Shares (the “Registration Rights Agreement”))
      registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Warrantholder, then this
      Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in
      which the Warrantholder 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
                Market Price (as defined below) on the trading day immediately preceding
                the date of such election;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (B)

            	
              =

            	
              the
                Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
                

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (X)

            	
              =

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

            


    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -2-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Section
      4. Compliance
      with the Securities Act of 1933.
      Except
      as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Company may cause the legend set
      forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or
      similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
      unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that
      such legend is unnecessary.

    


    Section
      5. Payment
      of Taxes.
      The
      Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial
      issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided,
      however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which
      may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery
      of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the
      Warrantholder in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case,
      the
      Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant
      Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the
      Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s reasonable
      satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The Warrantholder shall be responsible
      for income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax is
      due.

    


    Section
      6. Mutilated
      or Missing Warrants.
      In case
      this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall
      issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated
      Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or
      destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number
      of
      Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
      the
      Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect
      to a
      lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect
      thereto, if requested by the Company.

    


    Section
      7. Reservation
      of Common Stock.
      The
      Company hereby represents and warrants that there have been reserved, and the
      Company shall at all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary)
      as contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued shares
      of
      Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of
      purchase represented by this Warrant. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares
      issued upon due exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of
      the
      certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully
      paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.

    


    Section
      8. Adjustments.
      Subject
      and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Warrant Price and number
      of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
      time to time as set forth hereinafter.

    


    (a) If
      the
      Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is
      outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares
      of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
      number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
      smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares
      of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such
      reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
      Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares
      purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in effect
      immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective,
      shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter exercising
      the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock
      or
      other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant
      had been exercised immediately prior to such event upon payment of a Warrant
      Price that has been adjusted to reflect a fair allocation of the economics
      of
      such event to the Warrantholder. Such adjustments shall be made successively
      whenever any event listed above shall occur.

    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        -3-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) If
      any
      capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company,
      consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the
      Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all
      or
      substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be
      effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification,
      consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate
      provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the
      right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
      herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore
      issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or
      assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange
      for
      a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately
      theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization,
      reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition
      not
      taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with
      respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the
      provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment
      of
      the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as
      may
      be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
      thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company shall not effect
      any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless
      prior
      to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation
      (if
      other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the
      corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate
      corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the
      Warrantholder, at the last address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books
      of the Company, such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance
      with the foregoing provisions, the Warrantholder may be entitled to purchase,
      and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph
      (b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
      consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.

    


    (c) In
      case
      the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all
      holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection
      with
      a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation)
      of
      evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends or cash
      distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus or
      dividends or distributions referred to in Section 8(a)), or subscription rights
      or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect after such payment date shall
      be
      determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
      such
      payment date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number
      of
      shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price (as defined
      below) per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date, less
      the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good
      faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such
      subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the
      total
      number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price
      per
      share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date. “Market Price” as
      of a particular date (the “Valuation Date”) shall mean the following: (a) if the
      Common Stock is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing sale
      price
      of one share of Common Stock on such exchange on the last trading day prior
      to
      the Valuation Date; (b) if the Common Stock is then quoted on The Nasdaq Stock
      Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
      OTC Bulletin Board (the “Bulletin Board”) or such similar exchange or
      association, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on Nasdaq,
      the
      Bulletin Board or such other exchange or association on the last trading day
      prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available,
      the
      average of the high bid and the low asked price quoted thereon on the last
      trading day prior to the Valuation Date; or (c) if the Common Stock is not
      then
      listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, the Bulletin Board
      or
      such other exchange or association, the fair market value of one share of Common
      Stock as of the Valuation Date, shall be determined in good faith by the Board
      of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder. If the Common Stock is not
      then listed on a national securities exchange, the Bulletin Board or such other
      exchange or association, the Board of Directors of the Company shall respond
      promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder prior to the exercise
      hereunder as to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined
      by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event that the Board of
      Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder are unable to agree upon the
      fair
      market value in respect of subpart (c) hereof, the Company and the Warrantholder
      shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The
      decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such
      appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the Warrantholder. Such
      adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a payment date is
      fixed.

    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        -4-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (d) An
      adjustment to the Warrant Price shall become effective immediately after the
      payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after
      the effective date of each other event which requires an
      adjustment.

    


    (e) In
      the
      event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the
      Warrantholder shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock
      of
      the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares
      so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to
      adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent
      as
      practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained
      in
      this Warrant. 

    


    (f) Except
      as
      provided in subsection (g) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue
      or
      sell, or is, in accordance with any of subsections (f)(l) through (f)(7) hereof,
      deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration
      or for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect
      immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each such
      case
      (a “Trigger
      Issuance”)
      the
      then-existing Warrant Price, shall be reduced, as of the close of business
      on
      the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price determined as
      follows:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -5-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	 	Adjusted Warrant Price 	=  	(A x B) + D 
	 	 	 	
              A+C

            


    

    


    where

    


    “A”
      equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including Additional
      Shares of Common Stock (as defined below) deemed to be issued hereunder,
      immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

    


    “B”
      equals the Warrant Price in effect immediately preceding such Trigger
      Issuance;

    


    “C”
      equals the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued
      hereunder as a result of the Trigger Issuance; and

    


    “D”
      equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received
      by
      the Company upon such Trigger Issuance;

    


    provided,
      however, that in no event shall the Warrant Price after giving effect to such
      Trigger Issuance be greater than the Warrant Price in effect prior to such
      Trigger Issuance.

    


    For
      purposes of this subsection (f), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean
      all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant
      to this subsection (f), other than Excluded Issuances (as defined in subsection
      (g) hereof).

    


    For
      purposes of this subsection (f), the following subsections (f)(l) to (f)(7)
      shall also be applicable:

    


    (f)(1)
      Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the Company shall in any
      manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any
      warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for
      the
      purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or
      exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called
      “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called
“Convertible Securities”) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or
      exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the
      price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such
      Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
      (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable
      consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
      Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the
      aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the
      exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate
      to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration,
      if
      any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon
      the
      conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares
      of
      Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion
      or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of
      such Options) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior
      to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares
      of
      Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion
      or
      exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the
      exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price
      per
      share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such
      Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for
      purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price. Except as otherwise provided in
      subsection 8(f)(3), no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the
      actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon
      exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon
      conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

    (f)(2)
      Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in any manner
      issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any
      Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any
      such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per
      share
      for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined
      by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable
      consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company
      as
      consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y)
      the
      aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company
      upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares
      of
      Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
      Securities) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior
      to
      the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of
      Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
      Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as
      of
      the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter
      shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price,
      provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 8(f)(3), no
      adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
      Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and
      (b)
      no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made by reason of the issue
      or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase
      any
      such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Warrant Price have
      been
      made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 8(f).

     

    (f)(3)
      Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the
      following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option
      referred to in subsection 8(f)(l) hereof, the additional consideration, if
      any,
      payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred
      to in subsections 8(f)(l) or 8(f)(2), or the rate at which Convertible
      Securities referred to in subsections 8(f)(l) or 8(f)(2) are convertible into
      or
      exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not
      limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against
      dilution), the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith
      be readjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such
      time
      had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such
      changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the
      case
      may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of
      any
      Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 8(f) or
      any
      right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment
      was
      made pursuant to this subsection 8(f) (including without limitation upon the
      redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by
      the
      Company), the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed
      to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
      termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding
      immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -7-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (f)(4)
      Stock Dividends. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8(f), in case the
      Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock
      of the Company (other than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options
      or
      Convertible Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
      Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or
      distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without
      consideration.

    


    (f)(5)
      Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or
      Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration
      received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company
      therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting
      commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection
      therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
      shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of
      the
      consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be
      the
      fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of
      Directors of the Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or any
      underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in
      connection therewith. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with
      the
      issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one
      integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such
      Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued
      for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
      of
      the Company. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued
      or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith, other Options or
      Convertible Securities (the “Additional Rights”) are issued, then the
      consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced
      by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using the
      Black-Scholes option pricing model or another method mutually agreed to by
      the
      Company and the Warrantholder). The Board of Directors of the Company shall
      respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder as to the
      fair
      market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the Board of Directors
      of the Company and the Warrantholder are unable to agree upon the fair market
      value of the Additional Rights, the Company and the Warrantholder shall jointly
      select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such
      appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall
      be
      borne evenly by the Company and the Warrantholder.

    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        -8-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (f)(6)
      Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
      Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or
      other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
      or
      (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
      Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue
      or
      sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon
      the
      declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
      date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case
      may
      be.

    


    (f)(7)
      Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given
      time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company
      or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares
      (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an
      issue
      or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this subsection (f).

    


    (g) Anything
      herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to
      make any adjustment of the Warrant Price in the case of the issuance of
(A)
      capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to directors, officers,
      employees or consultants of the Company in connection with their service as
      directors of the Company, their employment by the Company or their retention
      as
      consultants by the Company pursuant to an equity compensation program approved
      by the Board of Directors of the Company or the compensation committee of the
      Board of Directors of the Company, (B) shares of Common Stock issued upon the
      conversion or exercise of Options or Convertible Securities issued prior to
      the
      date hereof, (C) securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and
      securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of those securities, and
      (D)
      shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split
      or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (but only to the extent that
      such a dividend, split or distribution results in an adjustment in the Warrant
      Price pursuant to the other provisions of this Warrant) (collectively, “Excluded
      Issuances”).

    


    (h) Upon
      any
      adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 8(f) above, the number
      of
      Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted by multiplying such
      number by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price in
      effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall
      be the Warrant Price in effect immediately thereafter.

    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        -9-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Section
      9. Fractional
      Interest.
      The
      Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the
      exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except
      for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 9, be deliverable
      upon
      such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall
      pay to the exercising Warrantholder an amount in cash equal to the Market Price
      of such fractional share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

    


    Section
      10. Extension
      of Expiration Date.
      If the
      Company fails to cause any Registration Statement covering Registrable
      Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) to be declared
      effective prior to the applicable dates set forth in the Registration Rights
      Agreement, or if any of the events specified in Section 2(c)(ii) of the
      Registration Rights Agreement occurs, and the Blackout Period (whether alone,
      or
      in combination with any other Blackout Period) continues for more than 60 days
      in any 12 month period, or for more than a total of 90 days, then the Expiration
      Date of this Warrant shall be extended one day for each day beyond the 60-day
      or
      90-day limits, as the case may be, that the Blackout Period
      continues.

    


    Section
      11. Benefits.
      Nothing
      in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation
      (other than the Company and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right,
      remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and
      exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder.

    


    Section
      12. Notices
      to Warrantholder.
      Upon
      the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the
      Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at
      the
      address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant
      Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and
      setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
      upon
      which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice to the
      Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity
      of
      the subject adjustment.

    


    Section
      13. Identity
      of Transfer Agent.
      The
      Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is The Nevada Agency and Trust Company.
      Upon
      the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other
      shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights
      of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will mail to the
      Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer
      agent.

    


    Section
      14. Notices.

    Section
      17. Governing
      Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
      This
      Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal
      laws of the State of New York, without reference to the choice of law provisions
      thereof. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each
      irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State
      of
      New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for

    Section
      18. Call
      Provision.
      Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary in the
      event that (x) the closing bid price of a share of Common Stock as traded on
      the
      Bulletin Board (or such other exchange or stock market on which the Common
      Stock
      may then be listed or quoted) equals or exceeds two times the Exercise Price
      then in effect for twenty (20) consecutive trading days at any time commencing
      after the second anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase
      Agreement) (the “Trading
      Period”)
      and
      (y) the average trading volume of the Common Stock is at least 100,000 shares
      (as may be adjusted by terms equivalent to those set forth in Section 8 hereof)
      during the Trading Period, the Company, upon thirty (30) days prior written
      notice (the “Notice
      Period”)
      given
      to the Warrantholder within five business days immediately following the end
      of
      such Trading Period, may call this Warrant, in whole but not in part, at a
      redemption price equal to $0.01 per share of Common Stock then purchasable
      pursuant to this Warrant; provided that (i) the Company simultaneously calls
      all
      Company Warrants (as defined below) on the same terms and (ii) all of the shares
      of Common Stock issuable hereunder either (A) are registered pursuant to an
      effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
      Agreement) which has not been suspended and for which no stop order is in
      effect, and pursuant to which the Warrantholder is able to sell such shares
      of
      Common Stock at all times during the Notice Period or (B) no longer constitute
      Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

      right to exercise this Warrant prior to the end of the Notice
      Period.

    Section
      20. Amendment;
      Waiver.
      This
      Warrant is one of a series of Warrants of like tenor issued by the Company
      pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and initially covering an aggregate of up
      to

      (x) any such amendment or waiver must apply to all Company Warrants; and (y)
      the
      number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, the Warrant Price and the
      Expiration Date may not be amended, and the right to exercise this Warrant
      may
      not be altered or waived, without the written consent of the
