In the event that the Company fails to comply with its obligations set forth in the foregoing sentence, the Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) purchase Warrant Shares hereunder at par value, and the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the Purchaser for the aggregate amount of consideration paid in connection with such exercise in excess of the Exercise Price. (vi) The Company shall assist and cooperate with the Registered Holder or any Purchaser required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approvals prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. (vii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. (viii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares which are so issuable shall, when issued and upon the payment of the Exercise Price, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares may be so issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be delivered by the Company upon each such issuance). (ix) If the Warrant Shares issuable by reason of exercise of this Warrant are convertible into or exchangeable for any other stock or securities of the Company, the Company shall, at the Registered Holder's option and upon surrender of this Warrant by such Registered A-6 Holder as provided above together with any notice, statement or payment required to effect such conversion or exchange of Warrant Shares, deliver to such Registered Holder (or as otherwise specified by such Registered Holder) a certificate or certificates representing the stock or securities into which the Warrant Shares issuable by reason of such conversion are convertible or exchangeable, registered in such name or names and in such denomination or denominations as such Registered Holder has specified. (x) The Company shall not, and shall not permit its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, by any action (including, without limitation, reincorporation in a jurisdiction other than Delaware, amending its Certificate of Incorporation or through any Organic Change, issuance or sale of securities or any other voluntary action) avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of terms of this Warrant or impair or diminish its value (except for any action which ratably affects all Warrant Shares and shares of Common Stock), but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms of Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (a) 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 and (b) not undertake any reverse stock split, combination, reorganization or other reclassification of its capital stock which would have the effect of making this Warrant exercisable for less than one share of Common Stock. (xi) No stockholder of the Company has or shall have any preemptive right to subscribe for the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant hereto. 3.3 Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall deliver to the Company an Exercise Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, except that if the Warrant Shares are not to be issued in the name of the Registered Holder, the Exercise Agreement shall also state the name of the Person to whom the certificates for the Warrant Shares are to be issued, and if the number of Warrant Shares to be issued does not include all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, it shall also state the name of the Person to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the rights hereunder is to be issued. 4. SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) the Common Stock into a greater number of shares or pays a dividend or makes a distribution to holders of the Common Stock in the form of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse A-7 stock split or otherwise) the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. 5. ORGANIC CHANGE. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, dividends, distributions or other transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets (excluding cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock and which is not covered by Section 4 is referred to herein as an "Organic Change". Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that each holder of Warrants shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise thereof, in lieu of or addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of such holder's Warrants, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of such holder's Warrants had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Company shall make appropriate provision with respect to such holder's rights and interests to insure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable to the Warrants. If, as a consequence of any such Organic Change, solely cash, and no securities or other property of any kind, is deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, then, in such event, the Company may terminate this Warrant by giving the Registered Holder hereof written notice thereof. Such notice shall specify the date (at least (30) days subsequent to the date on which notice is given) on which this Warrant shall terminate. 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE WARRANT HOLDER. The Warrant Holder represents, warrants, acknowledges and covenants to the Company as follows: 6.1 Investment. The Warrant Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling the same; and the Warrant Holder has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation, indebtedness or commitment providing for the disposition thereof. 6.2 Authority. The Warrant Holder has full power to execute and deliver this Warrant and to exercise its rights hereunder.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Warrant by the Warrant Holder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on behalf of the Warrant Holder. A-8 6.3 Experience. The Company has made available to the Warrant Holder any and all information which the Warrant Holder has deemed necessary in connection with the issuance of this Warrant. The Warrant Holder has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current needs and contingencies, and to sustain a complete loss of its investment in the Company; the Warrant Holder's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable are not disproportionate to the Warrant Holder's net worth and the Warrant Holder's investment in this Warrant will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive; and the Warrant Holder has sufficient knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company. 6.4 Accredited Investor Status. The Warrant Holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder have been offered and will be sold in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), under Section 4(2) thereof.

NO VOTING RIGHTS; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Registered Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Registered Holder shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price of Warrant Shares acquirable by exercise hereof or as a stockholder of the Company. 9. WARRANT TRANSFERABLE. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the Registered Holder upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Assignment (in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto) at the principal office of the Company, provided, that such transferee is an Affiliate of the Registered Holder (a "Permitted Transferee"). 10.

At the request of the Registered Holder A-9 (pursuant to a transfer of Warrants or otherwise), this Warrant may be exchanged for one or more Warrants to purchase Common Stock. The date the Company initially issues this Warrant shall be deemed to be the date of issuance hereof regardless of the number of times new certificates representing the unexpired and unexercised rights formerly represented by this Warrant shall be issued. All Warrants representing portions of the rights hereunder are referred to herein as the "Warrants." 11. REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (an affidavit of the Registered Holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Company shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the same rights represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. 12.
