SERIES B COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT 

ANAVEX LIFE SCIENCES CORP. 

	Warrant Shares: 2,000,000 	Initial Exercise Date: October 22, 2014
  


                          THIS
SERIES B COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that,
for value received, LINCOLN PARK CAPITAL FUND, LLC or its assigns (the
“Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on
exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the
date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of
business on the five (5) year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the
“Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase
from Anavex Life Sciences Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up
to 2,000,000 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant
Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock
under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in
Section 2(b). This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date
hereof pursuant to (i) Section 2.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated
October 22, 2014, between the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase
Agreement”) and (ii) Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506
promulgated thereunder. 

            Section
1.        Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
the Purchase Agreement. 

           
Section 2.        Exercise.

1 






           
  a)        Exercise of Warrant.
  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in
  whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and
  on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the
address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed
facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto and (unless
exercised pursuant to Section 2(f) below) within three (3) Trading Days of the
date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have
received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased
by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. No
ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion
guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise
form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder
shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until
the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the
Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender
this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of
the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial
exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total
number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering
the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount
equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the
Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased
and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any
Notice of Exercise within one (1) business day of receipt of such notice. The
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a
portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available
for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on
the face hereof. 

           
b)        Exercise Price. The exercise
price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.42,
subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”). 

            c)       
[RESERVED]. 

           
d)        Mechanics of Exercise. 

           
i.        Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. Within one (1) Trading Day of receiving a Notice of Exercise, the
Company shall have provided instructions to the Transfer Agent for the issuance
of the Warrant Shares. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s
prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal
at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such
system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting
the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the
Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or
manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical
delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the
date that is two (2) Trading Days after the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant
Share Delivery Date”), provided that the Company shall not be obligated to
deliver Warrant Shares hereunder unless the Company has received the aggregate
Exercise Price on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Warrant Shares
shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record
of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised,
with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be
paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the
issuance of such shares, having been paid. 

2 




           
ii.        Delivery of New Warrants Upon
Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant
certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the
Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. 

           
iii.        Rescission Rights. If the
Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant
Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date,
then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. 

           
iv.        Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition
to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an
exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date
the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the
amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares
that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the
exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to
such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant
Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon
request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein
shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof. 

3 




           
v.        No Fractional Shares or
Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which
the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the
Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise
Price or round up to the next whole share. 

           
vi.        Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the
Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of
the issuance of Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by
the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder
or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name
other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise
shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the
Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company
shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice
of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day
electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. 

           
vii.        Closing of Books. The
Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof. 

4 




           
e)        Holder’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and
a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to
Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such
issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the
Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a
group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would
beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined
below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with
respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number
of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder
or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged
by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such
calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with
any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in
the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise
shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with
any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each
case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have
no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In
addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section
2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected
in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the
Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent
setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm
orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of
the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the
date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. 

5 




The
Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section
2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds
9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this
Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall
continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the
61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The
provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner
otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e)
to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained
or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Warrant. For purposes of this Section 2(e),
“Affiliates” shall have such meaning as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities
Act. 

           
f)        Cashless Exercise. At the
Holder’s election, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at
such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be
entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where: 

	 	(A) 	
      = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
      date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a
      “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of
    Exercise;

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted
      hereunder; and

	 	 	 
	 	(X) 	
      = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable
      upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant
      if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless
      exercise.



           
Section 3.        Certain
Adjustments. 

           
a)        Stock Dividends and Splits.
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its
Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues
by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of
the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. 

6 




           
b) [RESERVED] 

           
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant
to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells
any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities
or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of
Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to
acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate
Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the
number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without
limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on
which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights,
or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such
Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to
participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of
such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent)
and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder
until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). 

           
d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is
outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of
shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a
"Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in
each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including
without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the
date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the
participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the
extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would
result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the
Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent
(or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of
such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be
held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation). 

7 




           
e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale,
lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer
(whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares
for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of
50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,
reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly
or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share
purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation,
a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any
shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party
to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such
stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a
“Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that
would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to
any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the
number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of
the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of
such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the
exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination
of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company
shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of
the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as
to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be
given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. 

8 




The Company
shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the
Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of
the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant
to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the
Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced
by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this
Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital
stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) 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 with an exercise price which applies the exercise
price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the
relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares
of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the
economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so
that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and
power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as
if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

             f)       
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes
of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and
outstanding. 

           
g)        Notice to Holder. 

           
i.        Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of
this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice
setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting
adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment. 

9 




           
ii.        Notice to Allow Exercise by
Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of
the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of
the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any
stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any
reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall
authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be
mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant
Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable
record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as
of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or
(y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice
or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of
the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that
any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report
on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during
the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the
event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
herein. 

           
Section 4.        Transfer of
Warrant. 

           
a)        Transferability. Subject to
compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in
Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase
Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.
Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in
which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three
(3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the
Company assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in
accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of
Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued. 

10 




           
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof 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 Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be
involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or
exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with
this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant
thereto. 

           
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon
records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.
The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.


           
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall
not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws
or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or
current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee
of this Warrant, as the case may be, provide to the Company an opinion of
counsel selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the
form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such transfer or sale does not require registration
of such transferred security under the Securities Act. 

11 




            e) Representation
by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants
that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire
the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
At the time the Holder was offered this Warrant, it was, and as of the date
hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises this Warrant, it will be
either an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the
Securities Act. 

           
Section 5.       
Miscellaneous. 

           
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle
the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of
the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i),
except as expressly set forth in Section 3. 

           
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in
the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like
tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock
certificate. 

           
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a business day, then, such action may be taken or such right
may be exercised on the next succeeding business day. 

           
d) Authorized Shares.

                   The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its
issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such
reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be
issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,
or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be
listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares
in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company
in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

12 




           
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company
shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate
of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be,
necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.


            Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof. 

           
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. 

           
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired
upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions
upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws. 

           
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure
to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver
of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision
of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the
Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due
pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder. 

13 




           
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in
accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement. 

           
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder,
shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any
Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. 

           
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that
monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to
waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that
a remedy at law would be adequate. 

           
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this
Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the
Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of
this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares. 

           
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions
hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. 

           
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions
or the remaining provisions of this Warrant. 

           
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
