herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant
Agreement.

    

              Warrants
may be exercised at any time during the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant
Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may
exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of
election to purchase set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together
with payment of the Exercise Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or
through “cashless exercise” if permitted by the Warrant Agreement) at the
principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon
any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall
be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be
issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised. No adjustment shall
be made for any dividends on any of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant.

    

              Notwithstanding
anything else in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant
may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration
statement covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise is
effective under the Securities Act of 1933 and (ii) a prospectus thereunder
relating to the shares of Common Stock is current, except through “cashless
exercise” if permitted by the Warrant Agreement.

    

              The
Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the number
of the Warrants set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions,
be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be
entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of the Common Stock, the
Company shall, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number of shares of
the Common Stock to be issued to the holder of the Warrant.

    

              Warrant
Certificates, when surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the
Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by legal
representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the
manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but
without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of
Warrants.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

              Upon
due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the
office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of
like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be
issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to
the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     

              The
Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder(s)
thereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding
any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the
purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and
for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant
Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the
Company.

              In
the event that the Warrant (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agreement)
may be exercised, to the extent allowed by the Warrant Agreement, through
cashless exercise (i) the number of shares that this Warrant is exercisable
for would be determined in accordance with the relevant section of the
Warrant Agreement which allows for such cashless exercise and
(ii) the holder hereof shall complete the following: The undersigned hereby
irrevocably elects to exercise the right, represented by this Warrant
