continuing obligation to afford to the Holder any rights to which the Holder

to afford to the Holder any such rights.

      


      1.4           Trustee for Warrant
Holders.  In the event that a bank or trust company shall have

Company or such successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts
otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.

      


      2.      
      Procedure for
Exercise.

      


      2.1           Delivery of Stock
Certificates, Etc., on Exercise.  The Company agrees that the
shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed
to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of
business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and
payment made for such shares in accordance herewith.  As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense
(including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder (upon
payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance
with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of
duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise,
plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be
entitled, one full share of the Company’s Common Stock to replace such
fractional share, together with any other stock or other securities and property
(including cash, where applicable) to which the Holder is entitled upon such
exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

      


      2.2           Exercise.

      


      (a)           Payment
may be made either (i) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds
or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal
to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, (ii) by delivery of this Warrant, or
shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the formula set forth in subsection (b) below, or
(iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of shares
of Common Stock specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall
be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall
thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued,
fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
determined as provided herein.


      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      (b)           If
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise
Price on the Date of FMV Calculation and (i) the Warrant Shares have not been
registered or (ii) may not be sold under Rule 144(b) or any successor provision
if exercised by payment in cash, in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash,
the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below)
of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly
endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a
number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:

      


      
        	
                X=

              	
                Y(A-B)

              
	 
      	
                A

              


      

      


      
        	
                Where
      X =

              	
                the
      number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
  Holder

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                Y
      =

              	
                the
      number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if
      only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this
      Warrant being exercised (at the date of such
  calculation)

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                A
      =

              	
                the
      Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the Date
      of FMV Calculation)

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                B
      =

              	
                the
      Exercise Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such
      calculation)

              


      

      


      3.       
     Effect of Reorganization,
Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.

      


      3.1           Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger, Etc.  If there occurs any capital
reorganization or any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, the
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person (other than a
merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is the continuing
entity and which does not result in any reorganization or reclassification of
its outstanding Common Stock) or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company to another person, then, as a condition
precedent to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance, the Holder will be entitled to receive upon surrender of
this Warrant to the Company (x) to the extent there are cash proceeds resulting
from the consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance, in exchange for such Warrant, cash in an amount
equal to the cash proceeds that would have been payable to the Holder had the
Holder exercised such Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
less the aggregate Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant, and (y)
to the extent that the Holder would be entitled to receive Common stock (or
Other Securities) (in addition to or in lieu of cash in connection with any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance),
the same kind and amounts of securities or other assets, or both, that are
issuable or distributable to the holders of outstanding Common Stock (or Other
Securities) of the Company with respect to their Common Stock (or Other
Securities) upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance, as would have been deliverable to the Holder had the Holder
exercised such Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance less
an amount of such securities having a value equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant.


      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      3.2           Dissolution.  In
the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with
any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities
and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder
pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a
bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in
New York, NY as trustee for the Holder (the “Trustee”).

      


      3.3           Continuation of
Terms.  Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this
Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms
hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of
dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be
binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the
case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section
4.  In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and
effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3,
then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable)
receivable by the Holder will be delivered to the Holder or the Trustee as
contemplated by Section 3.2.

      


      4.         
   Extraordinary Events
Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall
(a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other
distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the
Company, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock or (c) combine its
outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the
Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously
with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise
Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in
the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described
herein in this Section 4.  The number of shares of Common Stock that
the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be
entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of
this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the
numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of
this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in
effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this
Section 4).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock.


      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      5.         
   Certificate as to
Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of
this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial
Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting
forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued
or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the
number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant,
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted
or readjusted as provided in this Warrant.  The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and any warrant agent of the
Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

      


      6.        
    Reservation of Stock, Etc.,
Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.  The Company will at all times
reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of
this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.

      


      7.        
    Assignment; Exchange of
Warrant.  Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any
registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in
part.  On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the
Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached
hereto (the “Transferor
Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which
shall include, without limitation, a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel
(which reasonable fees shall be at the Company’s expense) that provides that
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable
securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Transferor
of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of
the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the
Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement
Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the
aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock
called for on the face or faces of this Warrant so surrendered by the
Transferor.

      


      8.          
  Replacement of
Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in
the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of
an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

      


      9.         
   Registration
Rights.  The Holder has been granted certain registration
rights by the Company.  These registration rights are set forth in a
Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Holder dated as of
the date hereof, as the same may be amended, modified and/or supplemented from
time to time.


      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      10.           Maximum
Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in
excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially
owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of this Warrant or the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject
to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and
(2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso
is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its
Affiliates of any amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its
Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or
entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls
or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such
terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.   For purposes of the second preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder,
except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence.  For any
reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company
shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of any given
date.  The limitations set forth herein (x) shall automatically become
null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Agreement) and
(y) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of no less than sixty-one (61)
days prior written notice to the Company; provided, however, that, such written
notice of waiver shall only be effective to the extent that no indebtedness
(including principal, interest, fees and charges) of the Company to the Holder
or any of its Affiliates is outstanding.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at no time shall the Company be obligated to issue any shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Security Agreement or
any Ancillary Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement) if the issuance
of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock which the Company may issue pursuant to the terms of this Warrant,
the Security Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement without violating the rules or
regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that
such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the
approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules or regulations
of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such
amount.

      


      11.           Warrant
Agent.  The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of
this Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other
Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging
this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to
Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange
or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such
agent.

      


      12.           Transfer on the Company’s
Books.  Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the
Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute
owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.


      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      13.           Rights of
Shareholders.  The Holder shall not be entitled to vote or
receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the shares of Common Stock or any
other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant for any purpose (the “Warrant Shares”), nor shall
anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any
of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the
election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any
meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether
upon the recapitalization, issuance of shares, reclassification of shares,
change of nominal value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to
