or regulations of the Principal Market (the “ExchangeCap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that theCompany (A) obtains the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicablerules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excessof such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to theCompany that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonablysatisfactory to the holders of the Warrant representing at least a majority ofthe shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants then outstanding issuedunder the Securities Purchase Agreement.  Until such approval or writtenopinion is obtained, no Purchaser shall be issued, upon exercise of anyWarrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of theExchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the totalnumber of shares of Common Stock issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the SecuritiesPurchase Agreement on the Issuance Date and the denominator of which is theaggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Purchasers pursuant tothe Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date (with respect to eachPurchaser, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”“).

Shares required to be delivered, no later than theclose of business on such Delivery Date. In the event that the Transfer Agentis not a participant in FAST, or if the Holder so specifies in an ExerciseNotice or otherwise in writing on or before the Exercise Date, the Companyshall effect delivery of Warrant Shares by delivering to the Holder or itsnominee physical certificates representing such Warrant Shares, no later thanthe close of business on such Delivery Date. If any exercise would create a fractional Warrant Share, such fractionalWarrant Share shall be disregarded and the number of Warrant Shares issuableupon such exercise, in the aggregate, shall be the nearest whole number ofWarrant Shares.  Warrant Shares deliveredto the Holder shall not contain any restrictive legend unless such legend isrequired pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

3.             *FAILURE TO DELIVERWARRANT SHARES*.

Inthe event that shares of Common Stock are purchased by or on behalf of theHolder in order to make delivery ona sale effected in anticipation of receiving Warrant Shares upon an exercise,the Holder shall have the right to receive from the Company, in addition to theforegoing amounts, (i) the aggregate amount paid by or on behalf of the Holderfor such shares of Common Stock minus (ii) the aggregate amount of netproceeds, if any, received by the Holder from the sale of the Warrant Sharesissued by the Company pursuant to such exercise.  Amountspayable under this ***Section3(a)***shall be paid tothe Holder in immediately available funds on or before the fifth (5th) BusinessDay following written notice from the Holder to the Company specifying theamount owed to it by the Company pursuant to this ***Section 3(a)***.

(b)           Inaddition to its rights under ***Section 3(a)*** above, upon an Exercise Default, theExercise Price applicable to the applicable exercise shall be automatically beadjusted to the lower of (i) the Exercise Price in effect on the Exercise Dateand (ii) the lowest Exercise Price occurring from the first date of suchExercise Default through the date on which all Warrant Shares to which theHolder is entitled have been delivered in accordance with the terms of thisWarrant.  The Holder shall have the rightto pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including,without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).

(a)           through a cash exercise (a “***Cash Exercise***”) bydelivering immediately available funds, or

The Holder shall effect a Cashless Exerciseby surrendering this Warrant to the Company and noting on the Exercise Noticethat the Holder wishes to effect a Cashless Exercise, upon which the Companyshall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
|        | X = Y x (A-B)/A                                                                          |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|   |                                                                                     |
| where: | X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the  Holder;                            |
|   |                                                                                     |

|   |                                              |
|   | B = the Exercise Price.                           |

 

It is intended andacknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise transactionshall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period forthe Warrant Shares required by Rule 144 shall be deemed to have been commenced,on the Issue Date.

In suchevent, the Company shall notify the Company’s transfer agent of such change onor before the effective date thereof.

(b)           MajorTransactions.  If, at any time afterthe Issue Date, any Major Transaction shall occur, then the Holder shallthereafter have the right to receive upon exercise, in lieu of the shares ofCommon Stock otherwise issuable, such shares of publicly traded stock,securities and/or other property as would have been issued or payable upon suchMajor Transaction with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares ofCommon Stock which would have been issuable upon exercise had such MajorTransaction not taken place (without giving effect to any limitations on suchexercise contained in this Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement).Notwithstanding the foregoing, following a Major Transaction in which all orsubstantially all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company is exchangedfor, converted into, acquired for or constitutes the right to receive solelycash (a “Triggering Event”), at the written request of the Holder deliveredbefore the 30th day after such Triggering Event, the Company (or the successorentity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder,within five days after such request, cash in an amount equal to theBlack-Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion ofthis Warrant.  “Black-Scholes Value”means the value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant calculated using theBlack-Scholes Option Pricing Model determined as of the day immediatelyfollowing the public announcement of the applicable Triggering Event andreflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasuryrate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date ofsuch request and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the lesser of (a) the 100day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg or (b) a volatilityof 60.

----

Holderhas notified the Company in writing of such circumstance) but in no event laterthan fifteen (15) days prior to the record date for the determination ofstockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto; *provided*, *however*,that the Company shall publicly disclose the material terms of any such MajorTransaction on or before the date on which it delivers notice of a MajorTransaction to the Holder, and (ii) the resulting successor or acquiring entity(if not the Company) assumes by written instrument (in form and substancereasonable satisfactory to the Holder) the obligations of the Company underthis Warrant.

If, at any time after the Issue Date, theCompany declares or makes any distribution of cash or any other assets (orrights to acquire such assets) to holders of Common Stock, including withoutlimitation any dividend or distribution to the Company’s stockholders in shares(or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a “***Distribution***”), theCompany shall deliver written notice of such Distribution (a “***Distribution Notice***”)to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the earlier to occur of (i)the record date for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution (the“***Record Date***”)and (ii) the date on which such Distribution is made (the “***Distribution Date***”)(theearlier of such dates being referred to as the “***Determination Date***”).  Upon receipt of the Distribution Notice, theHolder shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days)notify the Company whether it has elected (A) to receive the same amount andtype of assets (including, without limitation, cash) being distributed asthough the Holder were, on the Determination Date, a holder of a number ofshares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable as of suchDetermination Date (such number of shares to be determined without givingeffect to any limitations on such exercise) or (B) upon any exercise of thisWarrant on or after the Distribution Date, to reduce the Exercise Priceapplicable to such exercise by reducing the Exercise Price in effect on theBusiness Day immediately preceding the Record Date by an amount equal to thefair market value of the assets to be distributed divided by the numberof shares of Common Stock as to which such Distribution is to be made, suchfair market value to be reasonably determined in good faith by the independentmembers of the Company’s Board of Directors. Upon receipt of such election notice from the Holder, the Company shalltimely effectuate the transaction or adjustment contemplated in the foregoing ***clause (A) or (B)***, asapplicable.****** If the Holder does not notify the Company ofits election pursuant to the preceding sentence on or prior to theDetermination Date, the Holder shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) ofthe preceding sentence.

7

----

theSecurities Purchase Agreement) had the Holder been the holder of such shares ofCommon Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitledto receive such Convertible Securities or Options (or if no such record istaken, the date on which such Convertible Securities or Options were issued).

(e)           DilutiveIssuances.

(i)             AdjustmentUpon Dilutive Issuance.  If, at anytime after the Issue Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with ***Section 6(e)(ii)***isdeemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no considerationor for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price on the date ofsuch issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) (a “***Dilutive Issuance***”),then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(A)          if such Dilutive Issuance occurs on orprior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Issue Date, then effectiveimmediately upon such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price shall be adjustedso as to equal the consideration received or receivable by the Company (on aper share basis) for the additional shares of Common Stock so issued, sold ordeemed issued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance (which, in the case of a deemedissuance or sale, shall be calculated in accordance with ***Section 6(e)(ii)***below).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this ***Section 6(e)(i)(A)*** if such adjustmentwould result in an increase in the Exercise Price.

(B)           if such Dilutive Issuance occursafter the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Issue Date, then effectiveimmediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted soas to equal an amount determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by thefollowing fraction:

## **N****0 + N****1**

## **N****0 + N****2**

where:

N0 =                         the number of shares of CommonStock outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance (without takinginto account any Convertible Securities or Options, including the Notes andWarrants);

N1 =                        the number of shares of CommonStock which the aggregate consideration, if any, received or receivable by theCompany for the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock soissued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance (which, in thecase of a deemed issuance or sale, shall be calculated in accordance with ***Section 6(e)(ii)***below) would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to suchDilutive Issuance; and

N2 =                         the number of such additionalshares of Common Stock so issued,

----

sold or deemedissued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance.

Notwithstandingthe foregoing, no adjustment shall be made pursuant hereto if such adjustmentwould result in an increase in the Exercise Price.

(ii)            Effect On Exercise Price OfCertain Events.  For purposes ofdetermining the adjusted Exercise Price under ***Section 6(e)(i)***, the following will beapplicable:

(A)          Issuance Of Options.  If the Company issues or sells any Options,whether or not immediately exercisable, and the price per share for whichCommon Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options (and the price ofany conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable) is less than theExercise Price in effect on the date of issuance or sale of such Options, thenthe maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exerciseof all such Options (assuming full conversion, exercise or exchange ofConvertible Securities, if applicable) shall, as of the date of the issuance orsale of such Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued andsold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of the precedingsentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon theexercise of such Options” shall be determined by dividing (x) the total amount,if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuanceor sale of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additionalconsideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all suchOptions, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon theexercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additionalconsideration payable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof(determined in accordance with the calculation method set forth in ***Section 6(e)(ii)(B)***below) at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible,exercisable or exchangeable, by (y) the maximum total number of shares ofCommon Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming fullconversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable). Nofurther adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuanceof such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion,exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of suchOptions.

(B)           Issuance Of Convertible Securities.  If the Company issues or sells anyConvertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible, exercisable orexchangeable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable uponsuch conversion, exercise or exchange is less than the Exercise Price in effecton the date of issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, then themaximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exerciseor exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall, as of the date of theissuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstandingand to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. Ifthe Convertible Securities so issued or sold do not have a fluctuatingconversion or exercise price or exchange ratio, then for the purposes of theimmediately preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock isissuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange” shall be determined bydividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company asconsideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plusthe minimum aggregate

9

----

amount of additionalconsideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion, exercise orexchange thereof (determined in accordance with the calculation method setforth in this ***Section6(e)(ii)(B)***) at the time such Convertible Securities firstbecome convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, by (B) the maximum totalnumber of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion orexchange of all such Convertible Securities. If the Convertible Securities soissued or sold have a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchangeratio (a “***Variable RateConvertible Security***”), then for purposes of the first sentenceof this ***Section6(e)(ii)(B)***, the “price per share for which Common Stock isissuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange” shall be deemed to be thelowest price per share which would be applicable (assuming all holding periodand other conditions to any discounts contained in such Variable RateConvertible Security have been satisfied) if the conversion price of suchVariable Rate Convertible Security on the date of issuance or sale thereof wereequal to the actual conversion price on such date (or such higher minimumconversion price if such Variable Rate Convertible Security is subject to aminimum conversion price) (the “***Assumed Variable Market Price***”), and, further, if theconversion price of such Variable Rate Convertible Security at any time ortimes thereafter is less than or equal to the Assumed Variable Market Pricelast used for making any adjustment under this ***Section 6(e)*** with respect to anyVariable Rate Convertible Security, the Exercise Price in effect at such timeshall be readjusted to equal the Exercise Price which would have resulted ifthe Assumed Variable Market Price at the time of issuance of the Variable RateConvertible Security had been equal to the actual conversion price of suchVariable Rate Convertible Security existing at the time of the adjustmentrequired by this sentence; *provided, however*,that if the conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio of a ConvertibleSecurity may fluctuate solely as a result of provisions designed to protectagainst dilution, such Convertible Security shall not be deemed to be aVariable Rate Convertible Security.  Nofurther adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuanceof such Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such ConvertibleSecurities.

(C)           Change In Option Price OrConversion Rate.  If there is achange at any time in (x) the amount of additional consideration payable to theCompany upon the exercise of any Options; (y) the amount of additionalconsideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion, exercise orexchange of any Convertible Securities; or (z) the rate at which anyConvertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable forCommon Stock (in each such case, other than under or by reason of provisionsdesigned to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the timeof such change shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have beenin effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities stilloutstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changedconversion, exercise or exchange rate, as the case may be, at the timeinitially issued or sold.

(D)          Calculation Of ConsiderationReceived.  If any Common Stock,Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for cash, theconsideration received therefor will be the amount received by the Companytherefor. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities areissued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other thancash, including in the case of a strategic or similar arrangement in which theother entity will provide services to the Company, purchase

10

----
