This Warrant is issued in connection with the transactions described in the Stock and Warrant Subscription Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and among the Company and the Purchaser.

Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder, within ten (10) days of any such exercise. Such notice of exercise shall be in the Subscription Form set out at the end of this Warrant.


 


(c) The Warrantholder may elect  to pay the Exercise Price to the Company  either  by  cash, certified check or wire transfer.


 


(d) Upon exercise of this Warrant and delivery of the Subscription Form with proper payment relating thereto, the Company shall cause to be executed and delivered to the Warrantholder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of  fully-paid  and  nonassessable  shares  of  Common Stock issuable upon such exercise.


 


(e) The stock certificate or certificates for Warrant Stock to be delivered in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 shall be in such denominations as may be specified in said notice of exercise and shall be registered in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name or names as shall be designated in said notice. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the Warrantholder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares, including to the extent permitted by law the right to vote such shares or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders, as of the time said notice is delivered to the Company as aforesaid.

Section 3. Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(c), if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price  (at  the  date  of calculation as set forth below), the Warrantholder may elect, at the Warrantholder’s sole discretion, to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder that 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 Warrantholder


 


	
Y

	
=

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


	  	  	 
	
A

	
=

	
The  fair  market  value  of  one  share  of  Common  Stock  (at  the  date  of  such calculation)


	 	 	 
	B	=	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock shall be the average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed as published in the Wall Street Journal, as applicable, for the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value.


 


Section 4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Warrant Stock.


 


(a) If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is (i) increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split- up of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) decreased by a combination of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the benefits of such stock dividend, subdivision, split-up, or combination, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to a new amount equal to the product of (I) the Exercise Price in effect on such record date and (II) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date (without giving effect to the event referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii)), by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which would be outstanding immediately after the event referred  to  in  the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), if such event had occurred immediately following such record date.


 


(b) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 4(a), the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to subscribe for and purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Warrant Stock existing prior to such adjustment and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the Exercise Price existing prior to such adjustment by (II) the new Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.


 


(c) If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, there occurs an event which would cause the automatic conversion (“Automatic Conversion”) of the Warrant Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Articles, then any Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable, prior to the Expiration Date, into the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant Stock would have  been convertible pursuant to the Charter if the Automatic Conversion had not taken place.


 


Section 5. Division and Combination. This Warrant may be divided or combined with  other Warrants upon presentation 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 Warrantholder or its agent or attorney. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of Warrants under this Section 4, including any transfer taxes resulting from the division or combination hereunder. The  Company  agrees  to  maintain  at  its  aforesaid  office books for the registration of the Warrants.


 


Section 6. Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the  outstanding Common Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation or other business organization (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common) at any time prior to the Expiration Date, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, change, consolidation or merger, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Warrantholder, so that the Warrantholder shall have the right prior to the Expiration Date to purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the

exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and  other  securities  and  property receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased by the Warrantholder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, change, consolidation or merger, in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock and other securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof.


 


Section 7. Reservation and Authorization of Capital Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.


 


Section 8. Stock and Warrant Books. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up, close its stock books or Warrant books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise of any Warrant.


 


Section 9. Limitation of Liability. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Warrantholder to purchase Warrant Stock hereunder, shall give rise to any liability of the Warrantholder to pay the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company (whether such liability is asserted by the Company or creditors of the Company).


 


Section 10. Transfer. Subject to compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall be transferable in whole or in part. Any such transfer shall be made at the office or agency of the Company at which this Warrant is exercisable, by the registered holder hereof in person or by its duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the assignment hereof properly endorsed, and promptly thereafter a new warrant shall be issued and delivered by the Company, registered in the name of the assignee.  Until registration of transfer hereof on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Purchaser as the owner hereof for all purposes.


 


Section 11. Investment Representations; Restrictions on Transfer of Warrant Stock. Unless a current registration statement under the Securities Act shall be in effect with respect to the Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder, by accepting this Warrant, covenants and agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, and at the time of any proposed transfer of Warrant Stock acquired upon exercise hereof, such Warrantholder will deliver to the Company a written statement  that  the securities acquired by the Warrantholder upon exercise hereof are for the account of the Warrantholder or are being held by the Warrantholder as trustee, investment manager, investment advisor or as any other fiduciary for the account of the beneficial owner or owners for investment and are not acquired with a view to,  or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof (or any portion thereof)  and with  no present intention (at any such time) of offering and distributing such securities (or any portion thereof).
