Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, issue or cause to be issued and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided.

3. TRANSFER; DIVISION AND COMBINATION
3.1. Transfer. Subject to compliance with Section 10, transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company specified in Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 15, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon such surrender, the Company shall, subject to Section 8, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination 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. A Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with Section 8, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
3.2. Division and Combination. Subject to Section 8, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency 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 3.1 and with Section 8, 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.
3.3. Expenses. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense the new Warrant or Warrants to be delivered under this Section 3.

3.4. Maintenance of Books. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
4. ADJUSTMENTS
The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give each Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the time of such event.
4.1. Capital Adjustments.
The number of shares of Warrant Stock and the Current Warrant Price shall be deemed automatically adjusted equitably and proportionately to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock dividend or reverse stock split, or any capital reorganization or recapitalization of the Company, or any similar event affecting the Common Stock.
Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders based on their Warrant Shares) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price at the record date mentioned below, then the Current Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such Current Market Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Current Market Price on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
4.2. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in this Section 4:
5
When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/10th of a share.
When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the Holder by the Company to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the then Current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Company and escrowed property returned.
4.3. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. If the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation or other business entity (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation or other business entity (each a “Material Transaction”) and, pursuant to the terms of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of such 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 Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such Material Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such Material Transaction, at the Holder’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder in order to provide for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4 and issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Other Property for the aggregate Current Market Price upon exercise thereof. For purposes of this Section 4.3, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive Material Transaction.

5. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS
5.1. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the price at which a share of such Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4.3) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to each Holder in accordance with Section 15.2.

5.2. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place.

All shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Current Warrant 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.
7. | TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS |
In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of this Warrant.
8. | RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY |
The Holder hereby acknowledges that neither this Warrant nor any of the securities that may be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant have been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state, and the Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant or the Warrant Stock except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Holder acknowledges that, upon exercise of this Warrant, the securities to be issued upon such exercise may be subject to applicable federal and state securities (or other) laws requiring registration, qualification or approval of governmental authorities before such securities may be validly issued or delivered upon notice of such exercise. The restrictions imposed by this Section 8 upon the exercise of this Warrant shall cease and terminate as to any particular shares of Warrant Stock (i) when such securities shall have been effectively registered and qualified under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws and disposed of in accordance with the registration statement covering such securities, or (ii) when, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, such restrictions are no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws.
8
9. | SUPPLYING INFORMATION |
The Company shall cooperate with each Holder of a Warrant and each holder of Warrant Common Stock in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of the Warrant or Warrant Stock.
10. LOSS OR MUTILATION
Upon receipt by the Company from any Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to such Holder; provided, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
11. OFFICE OF COMPANY

13. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDERS; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions or to receive notice of or attend meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company unless and to the extent exercised for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to exercise its rights to purchase shares of Common Stock hereunder, 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 Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

14. COMPANY CALL RIGHT
If, at any time after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and before the Warrant expires or is exercised, (i) the Current Market Price, as reported by the OTCBB, is at least $0.17 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 4) for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, and (ii) the registration statement required by the Securities Purchase Agreement and covering the Warrant Shares is effective and then currently able to be used in connection with the offer and sale of the Warrant Shares, then the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to exercise or forfeit up to fifty percent (50%) of the Original Face Amount less any portion of the Warrant which has previously been exercised (the “Callable Amount”), as more particularly provided in this Section 14. If the Company is entitled to and elects to require the exercise or forfeiture of the Callable Amount pursuant to this Section 14, the Company shall provide written notice to the Holder within five business days following such thirty day period. If the Holder does not exercise the Callable Amount within ten days of receipt of such notice, the portion of the Callable Amount which is not exercised shall be forfeited and deemed null and void; provided that (i) the Current Market Price as of the date of the Company’s notice, as reported by the OTCBB, was at least $0.17 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 4), and (ii) the registration statement required by the Securities Purchase Agreement and covering the Warrant Shares is effective and then currently able to be used in connection with the offer and sale of the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall not be required to exercise or forfeit the Callable Amount if the Holder or its affiliates control, or would have control upon the exercise of the Callable Amount of, ten percent (10%) or more of the primary shares of the common stock of the Company outstanding, in which case the term of the Warrant shall be extended for up to two (2) years.
15. MISCELLANEOUS
15.1. Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.

15.2. Notice Generally. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, delivery or other communication hereunder to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant shall be sufficiently given or made if in writing and either delivered in person with receipt acknowledged or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by telecopy and confirmed by telecopy answerback, addressed as follows:
