b.  Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 12.  Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder.  The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.







c.  This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 12 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder.  Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.







5.              Exercise of Warrants.







a.     Upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed to the Company, at its address set forth in Section 12, and upon payment and delivery of the Exercise Price per Warrant Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Warrant Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in lawful money of the United States of America, in cash or by certified or official bank check or checks, to the Company, all as specified by the Warrant Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 7 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver or cause to be issued  and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on transfer described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a stock certificate for the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act.  Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise. In connection with such exercise, the Warrant Holder, or such person so designated by the Warrant Holder in accordance with this paragraph, shall be deemed a stockholder of record with respect to the Warrant Shares purchaser pursuant to such exercise, with all rights of a stockholder, including voting rights and rights to receive dividends.







b.     A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.







c.     This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election To Purchase.  If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.







d.     Cashless Exercise. The Warrant Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a "Cashless Exercise"):







Net Number =       (A x B) -- (A x C)


  B







For purposes of the foregoing formula:







A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.







B = the closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date immediately preceding the date of the Form of Election to Purchase (the "Closing Price").







C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.







e.     Deemed Exercise.  If, at the Expiration Date for any Warrant Shares, this Warrant has not theretofore been exercised with respect to such Warrant Shares, and the Closing Price on the business day immediately prior to the Expiration Date is greater than the Exercise Price, then the Warrant Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant in whole with respect to such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such Expiration Date and shall be deemed to have elected to pay the aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph d. (Cashless Exercise) of this Section 5, and the Date of Exercise with respect to such deemed exercise shall be the date on which such Expiration Date occurs.

6.              Adjustment of the Number of Shares.  The character of the shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events, and all such adjustments shall be cumulative:







a.          Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc.  The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities.







b.          Reserved







c.          Reserved







d.          Distributions of Other Property.  If, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired with respect to any Warrant Shares, the Company shall distribute to all holders of Company Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding ordinary cash dividends or distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus and dividends or distributions referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 6), then, in lieu of an adjustment to the number of shares Company Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after such distribution shall be entitled to receive from the Company the stock or other securities to which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled if the Warrant Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 6.







e.          Certificate as to Adjustments.  In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the number or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, or the Exercise Price, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof (but in no event later than 5 business days thereafter) to the holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.







7.               Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.  The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented.  If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 7, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.







8.               Sale or Merger the Company.  The Company will give Warrant Holder 15-day written notice before the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger or consolidation of the Company in a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity (a "Fundamental Transaction").  The Company shall not enter into or be party to such Fundamental Transaction unless the surviving entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Warrant Holder and approved by the Warrant Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Warrant Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the surviving entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Warrant Holder.







9.               Issuance of Substitute Warrant.   In the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or a reclassification of Company shares of stock, which results in an adjustment to the number of shares subject to this Warrant hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Warrant Holder a substitute Warrant reflecting the adjusted number of shares upon the surrender of this Warrant to the Company.







10.             Listing of Shares.   The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of Warrant Shares.







11.            Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Warrant Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant  (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
