purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in full or in part
at any time and from time to time, prior to the Expiration Date by the Holder by

of the holders thereof, either in full or in part from time to time. As soon as
practicable, and in any event within five (5) days after the exercise of this

or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he is
entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it,
and if this Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned
Warrant for the number of shares as to which this Warrant shall not have been

the other shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time and (iii) shall

ADJUSTMENTS.
|
2.1 Stock
Dividends — Split-Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the
provisions of Section 2.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by
a split-up of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the
effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased
in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
2.2 Extraordinary
Dividend. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash,
securities, or other assets to the holders of Common Stock (or shares of the
Company’s Capital Stock into which this Warrant is convertible), then upon the
exercise of this Warrant, the registered holder shall be entitled to
either:
(i) a
proportionate share of any such dividend as if the shares of Common Stock
purchased upon exercise hereof by such registered holder had been purchased and
outstanding on the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend; or
(ii) an
adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price in accordance with the formula as set
forth below:
| E'= |

where:

the

the
fair market value on the record date of the assets, securities, rights or
warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock. The board of
directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value in good
faith.
|
The
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the
distribution.
2.3 Aggregation
of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of
Section 2.6, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a
consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of
Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such
consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar
event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant
shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of
Common Stock.
2.4 Adjustments
in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in
Section 2.1 and 2.3 above, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the
nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to
such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately
prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
2.5 Replacement
of Securities upon Reorganization, Etc. In case of any
reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than a change covered by Section 2.1 or 2.3 hereof or that solely affects
the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and
that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to
another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company
is dissolved, the Warrant holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and
receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this
Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately
theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities
or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any
such sale or transfer, that the Warrant holder would have received if such
Warrant holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such event; and
if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock
covered by Section 2.1 or 2.3, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to
Sections 2.1, 2.3 and this Section 2.5. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or
consolidations, sales or other transfers.
2.6 Notices
of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company
shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the
Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or
decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the
exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the
occurrence of any event specified in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.5, then, in any
such event, the Company shall give written notice to the Holder, at the last
address set forth for such holder in the warrant register, of the record date or
the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
2.7 No
Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon
exercise of this Warrant. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 2, the holder of this Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of
this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall,
upon such exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of the
shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.
2.8 Form
of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any
adjustment pursuant to this Section 2, and Warrant issued after such adjustment
may state the same Warrant Exercise Price and the same number of shares as is
stated in the Warrant initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the
Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of
Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the
substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether
in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in
the form as so changed.
2.9 Other
Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to which the
provisions of this Section 2 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make
any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by the
Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such
provisions, then, in each such case, the Company shall make a good faith
adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each
Warrant in accordance with the intent of this Section 2 and, upon the written
request of the registered holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants,
shall appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized
national standing (which may be the regular auditors of the Company), which
shall give its opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with
the essential intent and principles established in this Section 2, necessary to
preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by these
Warrants. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company shall promptly
mail a copy thereof to the registered holder of each Warrant and shall make the
adjustments described therein.
2.10 No
Impairment. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 2 and in
the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the registered holders of the Warrants against
impairment.

|
REDEMPTION.
|
4.1 Redemption. Subject
to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants
may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time, at the office of the
Warrant Agent, upon the notice referred to in Section 4.2 hereof at a redemption
price of $.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”),
provided that the last sales price of Common Stock has been at least $14 per
share (the “Trigger
Price”), for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days within a thirty
(30) Trading Day period ending on the third Business Day prior to the date on
which notice of redemption is given; and provided, further, that there is an
effective registration statement with respect to the Common Stock to enable the
exercise of the Warrant during the Exercise Period as set forth in Section 1.2
hereof. In the event of any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price
or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant as
provided in Section 5, a proportional adjustment shall be made to the Trigger
Price.
4.2 Date
Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption. In the event the Company shall
elect to redeem all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the
redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage
prepaid, by the Company not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed
for redemption to the registered holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their
last addresses as they shall appear on the Warrant Register. Any notice mailed
in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given whether or not the registered holder received such notice.
4.3 Exercise
after Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised in
accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement at any time after notice of
redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof
and prior to the time and date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption
date, the record holder of the
Warrants
shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrant,
the Redemption Price.
4.4 Outstanding
Warrants only; Registration or Qualification of Common Stock. The
Company understands that the redemption rights provided for by this Section 4
apply only to outstanding Warrants. To the extent a person holds rights to
purchase Warrants, such purchase rights shall not be extinguished by redemption.
However, once such purchase rights are exercised, the Company may redeem the
Warrants issued upon such exercise provided that the criterion for redemption is
met. In the event that the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
has not been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities

not have the right to redeem the Warrants.
