    3.
      

    Representations
      and Covenants of the Holder.
      This
      Warrant has been issued by the Company in reliance upon the following
      representations and covenants of the Holder: 

    


    (a)
      

    Investment
      Purpose.
      The
      Stock issuable upon exercise of the Holder's rights contained herein will be
      acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of
      any
      part thereof, and the holder has no present intention of selling or engaging
      in
      any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or
      exemption. 

     

    (b)
      

    Private
      Issue.
      The
      Holder understands (i) that the Stock issuable upon exercise of this
      Warrant is not registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state
      securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant
      will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof,
      and (ii) that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the
      representations set forth in this Section 3. 

     

    (c)
      

    Disposition
      of Holder's Rights. This
      Warrant and all rights hereunder are non-transferable. 

     

    The
      Stock
      issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is non-transferable, except in accordance
      with the terms of this provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
      restrictions imposed upon the transferability of shares of the Stock shall
      terminate as to any particular share of Stock when (1) the transfer of such
      security shall have been effectively registered under the Act and transferred
      by
      the Holder thereof in accordance with such registration, or (2) such
      security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with
      Rule 144 under the Act or (3) a letter shall have been issued to the
      Holder at its request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
      or
      a ruling shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by such Commission
      stating that no action shall be recommended by such staff or taken by such
      Commission, as the case may be, if such security is transferred without
      registration under the Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such
      letter or ruling and such letter or ruling specifies that no subsequent
      restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever the Stock issuable upon exercise
      of this Warrant may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k), the restrictions
      imposed herein shall terminate, the Holder or holder of a share of Stock issued
      upon exercise of this Warrant as to which such restrictions have terminated
      shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense to such holder,
      one or more new certificates for the Warrant or for such shares of Stock not
      bearing any restrictive legend. 

     

    (d)
      

    Financial
      Risk.
      The
      Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
      as to
      be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the
      ability to bear the economic risks of its investment. 

     

    (e)
      

    Risk
      of No Registration.
      The
      Holder understands that if a registration statement covering the transfer of
      the
      Stock under the Act is not in effect when it desires to sell the Stock issuable
      upon exercise of this Warrant, it may be required to hold such securities for
      an
      indefinite period. The Holder also understands that any sale of Stock issuable
      upon exercise of this Warrant which might be made by it in reliance upon
      Rule 144 under the Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and
      conditions of that Rule. 

     

    4.
      

    Delivery
      of Stock Certificates on Exercise.
      Promptly
      after the exercise of this Warrant and the payment of the Purchase Price
      pursuant to Section 2(b) or after the net exercise of this Warrant
      pursuant to Section 2(c), the Company will issue to the Holder or upon the
      order of the Holder hereof, a certificate or certificates for the number of
      whole shares of Stock to which the Holder is entitled; provided, however, that
      (i) the Holder shall have furnished to the Company at the time of such
      exercise a signed Investment Representation Statement substantially in the
      form
      attached hereto as Exhibit B
      and
      (ii) the Company will place on each certificate the following legend:


     

    "THE
      SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT
      BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT").
      THESE
      SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
      REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT. 

     

     

    Furthermore,
      the Company will place on each certificate any legend required by any applicable
      state blue sky law. 

     

    5.
      

    Adjustment
      for Dividends in Other Stock or Property;
      Reclassifications.
      The
      Purchase Price and the number and type of Warrant Shares and/or other property
      issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately and
      proportionately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination
      of shares, reclassification, recapitalization, any corporate reorganization
      other than as provided in Section 1 hereof or other similar event affecting
      the number or character of outstanding Warrant Shares, so that the number and
      type of securities and/or other property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
      shall be equal to that which would have been issuable with respect to the number
      of Warrant Shares subject hereto at the time of such event, had such Warrant
      Shares then been outstanding. 

     

    6.
      

    Certificate
      as to Adjustments.
      In each
      case of an adjustment in the Purchase Price or in the shares of Stock or other
      stock, securities or property receivable on the exercise of the Warrant, the
      Company, at its expense, will compute such adjustment in accordance with the
      terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment
      and
      showing in detail the facts upon which the adjustment is based. The Company
      will
      mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant outstanding
      at
      that time. 

     

    7.
      

    Notices
      of Record Date.
      In case
      (i) the Company takes a record of the holders of its Stock (or other stock
      or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant) for
      the
      purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or
      any
      right to subscribe for any purchase any shares of stock of any class or any
      other securities; or (ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any
      reclassification of the common stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger
      of the Company with or into another corporation, including, without limitation,
      any Merger or Consolidation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all
      of
      the assets of the Company to another corporation; or (iii) of any voluntary
      dissolution,, liquidation or winding-up on the Company; then, in each such
      case.
      The Company will mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder of a Warrant at
      the
      time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (a) the date on
      which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution
      or
      right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution
      or
      right, or (b) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification,
      consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is
      to
      take place, and time, if any is to be fixed as of which the holders of record
      of
      Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the
      exercise of the Warrant) will be entitled to exchange their shares of Stock
      (or
      such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable
      upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
      dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and in the case of a reorganization,
      consolidation, merger or conveyance, the fair market value of such securities
      or
      other property as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Such
      notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified
      therein; provided, however, that in the event of a Merger or Consolidation
      the
      Company shall use its best efforts to provide such notice in accordance with
      Section 11 below at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the closing
      date of such Merger or Consolidation and, in any event, shall provide such
      notice in accordance with Section 11 below at least fifteen (15) days
      prior to such closing date. 

     

    8.

      Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
      delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, all such shares of Stock and other
      stock, or such other stock, securities and property as from time to time are
      receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant. 

    9.

      of Warrant.
      Upon
      receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
      destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or
      destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement in such reasonable amount
      as the Company may determine, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender
      and
