To exercise this Warrant, the holder hereof shall deliver to the Company, at the Warrant Office designated pursuant to Section 3.1, (a) a written notice, in substantially the form of the Subscription Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, of such holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised; (b) a check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price for the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased; and (c) this Warrant.

SECTION 2.2.  Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding Section 2.1 or anything in this Warrant to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 2.3) is greater than the Exercise Price as of the date on which this Warrant is exercised in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof, the holder may elect to pay all or a portion of the Exercise Price by reducing the number of Warrant Shares to be issued by surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company's principal office (or at such other location as the Company may advise the holder in writing) so that holder need not pay any cash consideration for the Exercise Price, together with a written notice of holder's intent to exercise the Warrant in accordance with this Section 2.2, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

Shares = SP x (FMV - EP)

              FMV

Where:

(a)Shares equals the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the holder;

(b)SP represents the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant (as adjusted to the date of such exercise) for which the Warrant is being exercised;

(c)FMV equals the Fair Market Value; and

"Fair Market Value" shall mean, at any date and with respect to one (1) Warrant Share, (i) if a public market for the Common Stock exists at the time of such exercise, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value; or (ii) if there is no public market for the Common Stock, the price per share determined by the disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors in good faith.

SECTION 2.4.  Shares to be Fully Paid and Nonassessable.  All Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

SECTION 2.5.  Legend on Warrant Shares.  Each certificate for shares initially issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares are registered under the Act, shall bear the following legend (and any additional legend or modification required by the Nasdaq National Market or any national or regional securities exchange upon which such shares may, at the time of such exercise, be listed or under applicable securities laws):
The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the Act"), or the securities laws of any state.  They may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of in the absence of registration under said Act and all other applicable securities laws, unless an exemption from registration is available.

Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legend unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restrictions on transferability.  The provisions of Article IV shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of this Warrant.

SECTION 2.6.  Acknowledgment of Continuing Obligation.  The Company shall, at the time of any exercise of this Warrant, upon request of the holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to such holder in respect of any rights to which the holder shall continue to be entitled after exercise in accordance with this Warrant; provided, however, that the failure of the holder to make any such request shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to the holder in respect of such rights.

The Company shall maintain an office for certain purposes specified herein (the "Warrant Office"), which office shall initially be the Company's location set forth in Article I hereof, and may subsequently be such other office of the Company or of any transfer agent of the Common Stock in the continental United States as to which written notice has previously been given to all of the holders of the Warrants.

SECTION 3.2.  Ownership of Warrant.  The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER

SECTION 4.1.  Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant shall not be exercisable or transferable except upon the conditions specified in this Article IV, which conditions are intended, among other things, to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Act in respect of the exercise or transfer of the Warrant.

(b)The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not transfer this Warrant prior to delivery to the Company of any required opinion of the holder's counsel (as the opinion and counsel are described in Section 4.2 hereof).

SECTION 4.2.  Opinion of Counsel.  In connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)If in the opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company, a proposed transfer of this Warrant may be effected without registration of this Warrant under the Act, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant in accordance with the proposed method of disposition; provided, however, that if the method of disposition would, in the opinion of such counsel, require that the Company take any action or execute and file with the commission or deliver to the holder or any other person any form or document in order to establish the entitlement of the holder to take advantage of such method of disposition, the Company agrees, at the cost of the holder, promptly to take any necessary action or execute and file or deliver any necessary form or document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company be obligated to effect a registration under the Act so as to permit the proposed transfer of this Warrant or to take any action that will result in more than one transfer of this Warrant within each calendar year.

(b)If in the opinion of such counsel, the proposed transfer of this Warrant may not be effected without registration of this Warrant under the Act, the holder of this Warrant shall not be entitled to transfer this Warrant until such registration is effective.

ARTICLE V

ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS

SECTION 5.1.  Adjustment to Exercise Price.  Upon any adjustment to the Conversion Price (as that term is defined in the Company's Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (as same may be amended from time to time, the "Designations")) pursuant to Subsection (c)(6)(A) thereof, and subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (i) to (viii) of such Subsection (c)(6)(A) of the Designations, and all of the terms and conditions of the Designations, including without limitation, the provisions of Subsection (c)(6)(D) of the Designations (and whether or not any shares of such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then remain outstanding), then the Exercise Price shall simultaneously with said adjustment to the Conversion Price be adjusted so as to equal the Conversion Price as so adjusted.

SECTION 5.2.  Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combination.

(a)Triggering Events.  If at any time the Company shall:  (i) declare a dividend or otherwise make a distribution to the holders of its Common Stock in the form of additional shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the adjustments set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.2 shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and to the Exercise Price, respectively.

(b)Adjustment to Number of Shares of Common Stock for Which Warrant is Exercisable.  The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal:  (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately before the occurrence of any such event, (ii) multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such event, and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the occurrence of such event.

(c)Adjustment to Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal:  (i) the Exercise Price immediately prior to the occurrence of any such event, (ii) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately before such event, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the adjustment.

(d)Effective Date.  Any adjustment under this Section 5.2 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective; provided, however, if the subdivision is effected through a stock dividend, then any adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event occurs.

SECTION 5.3.  Reclassification, Exchange, and Substitution.  If the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or other securities of the Company, including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation, spinoff or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), the holder shall, on its exercise, be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which the holder would have owned or been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the happening of such reclassification, exchange or substitution for the same aggregate consideration.  If the Company shall at any time change its Common Stock or other securities, as the case may be, into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or other securities, as the case may be, the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before that reclassification, exchange or substitution shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, as the case may be, purchasable immediately thereafter.  An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event occurs.

SECTION 5.4.  Reorganization, Mergers or Consolidations.  In the event of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, then, as part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, at any time prior to the Expiration Date and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which the holder would have been entitled in such reorganization, merger, or consolidation if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that reorganization, merger or consolidation.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the holder after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustment of the Exercise Price then in effect and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any Common Stock or Warrants or other property deliverable after than event upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall, within thirty (30) days after making such adjustment, give written notice (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the holder at the address of the holder shown on the Company's books.  That notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which the adjustment was calculated and specify the Exercise Price then in effect after the adjustment and the increased or decreased number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.  When appropriate, that notice may be given in advance and include as part of the notice required under other provisions of this Warrant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any transaction described in this Section 5.4 in which the consideration to be received by holders of Common Stock is payable only in cash, the holder shall be entitled only to cash in the amount, if any, that such cash payment per share exceeds the Exercise Price.

SECTION 5.5.  Deferral of Adjustments.  Notwithstanding any adjustments to the Exercise Price required under this Article V, no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise so required to be made; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5.5 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations shall be made to the nearest .001 of a cent.  

SECTION 5.6.  Form of Warrant after Adjustments.  The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or number or kind of the shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant to this Warrant, and Warrants theretofore or hereunder issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant, as initially issued; provided, however, that the Company may, at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive), make any change in the form of Warrant certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof.  Any Warrant certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Warrant certificate may be in the form so changed.

ARTICLE VI

CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the purchase price of any Warrant Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of the Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of a bond of indemnity in such form and amount as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the event of such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated warrant.  Any Warrant issued under the provisions of this Section 7.7 in lieu of any Warrant alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen, or in lieu of any mutilated Warrant, shall constitute an original contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

1.2Company Registration.

  1.2.1.If the Company shall determine to register any shares of Common Stock in a public offering of such securities solely for cash on a form that would permit the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall promptly give to each Holder written notice of such registration (a "Piggyback Registration"), which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws; and include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by any Holder or Holders within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, subject to the underwriter limitations described in Subsection 1.2.3 hereof.  The Company shall have the right to withdraw or cease to prepare or file any registration statement for any offering referred to in this Subsection 1.2.1 without any obligation or liability to any Holder.

1.2.2Number of Piggyback Registrations.  Subject to the underwriter limitations described in Subsection 1.2.3 below, each Holder shall be entitled to have its Registrable Securities included in an unlimited number of Piggyback Registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2 until such time as all its Registrable Securities may be sold under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without limitation on the number of shares or manner of sale.

The Company shall advise all holders of securities requesting registration as to the number of shares or securities that may be included in the registration.  No such reduction shall be made with respect to securities offered by the Company for its own account.  If any Holder or Other Shareholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter.

1.5.2Each Holder and Other Shareholder shall, if securities held by him or it are included among the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls (as defined in Subsection 1.5.4 below) the Company or such underwriter, and each other such Holder and Other Shareholder and each of such controlling person's officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder or Other Shareholder and each of such controlling person's officers, directors and partners, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse the Company and such Holders, Other Shareholders, directors, officers, partners, persons, underwriters and control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or Other Shareholder specifically for use therein.  The Holder and Other Shareholders acknowledge that an underwriter may require other indemnification obligations with respect to the underwriter.

1.5.3Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.5 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be withheld unreasonably).  The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense with counsel of its own choosing, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Indemnified Party's expense unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between them.  The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 1.5 only if such failure is prejudicial to the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such action, and such failure shall in no event relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that he or it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 1.5.  No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation.

1.5.4For purposes of this Section 1.5, the term "control" shall have the meaning assigned thereto under the Securities Act.

1.6Information by Holders and Other Shareholders.  Each Holder or Other Shareholder of securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Other Shareholder and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Other Shareholder as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.

1.7Transfer of Registration Rights.  The rights to cause the Company to register securities of the Company granted herein may be assigned by any Holder to any transferee of the Registrable Securities together with the securities being transferred, provided that in each case the Company is given written notice, at the time or within a reasonable time after said transfer, stating the name and address of said transferee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and, provided further, that such transferee owns after such transfer at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities.  No such assignment shall be effective unless the transferee shall be required, as a condition to such transfer, to agree in writing that he or it will receive and hold such securities subject to the provisions hereof.

This Option may not be assigned, encumbered, transferred, pledged or hypothecated except, in the event of the death of the Optionee, by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution to the extent provided in Section 5 below.

          In the event of the death of the Optionee prior to the Optionee's Termination of Service or during the three-month or one-year period referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, the person or persons to whom the Option has been transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution may, but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise this Option on the date of the Optionee's death, exercise this Option at any time within one year following the death of the Optionee, but in no event after the Expiration Date.

          8.  Effect of Merger or Other Reorganization.  In the event of any merger, consolidation or combination of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger, consolidation or combination in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in the outstanding shares of Common Stock being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof), the Optionee shall have the right (subject to the provisions of the Plan and the limitations contained herein), thereafter and during the Exercise Period, to receive upon exercise of this Option an amount equal to the excess of the Market Value on the date of such exercise of the securities,cash or other property, or combination thereof, receivable upon such merger, consolidation or combination in respect of a share of Common Stock over the Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of Option Shares with respect to which this Option shall have been exercised.
