The Warrant Holder by accepting this Warrant represents that the Warrant Holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account or the account of an affiliate that is an accredited investor which has been identified to and approved by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for investment purposes and not with the view to any offering or distribution and that the Warrant Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the underlying Warrant Shares in violation of applicable securities laws. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that the certificates representing any Warrant Shares will bear a legend indicating that they have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and may not be sold by the Warrant Holder except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements of the 1933 Act and in accordance with federal and state securities laws. If this Warrant was acquired by the Warrant Holder pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act afforded by Regulation S thereunder, the Warrant Holder acknowledges and covenants that this Warrant may not be exercised by or on behalf of a Person during the one year distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) following the date hereof.

a. Subject to compliance with the federal and state securities laws, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 13. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.

5.
Exercise of Warrants.
 
a. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed to the Company, at its address set forth in or specified pursuant to Section 13, and upon payment and delivery of the Exercise Price per Warrant Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Warrant Holder intends to purchase hereunder (“Aggregate Exercise Price”), in lawful money of the United States of America, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check or checks, to the Company, all as specified by the Warrant Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 7 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on transfer described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act. Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.
 
b. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.
 
c. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time during the exercise period for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election to Purchase. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
 
6. Reserved. 
 
7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of the shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefore, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence any of the following events which shall have occurred or which shall occur at any time on or after the Closing Date, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated [ ], and all such adjustments shall be cumulative:
 
a. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc. The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, stock distribution, combination of shares, reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities.
 
b. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”), then, in each case, the holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the “Effective Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

c. Certificate as to Adjustments. In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
 
d. Sales of Common Stock at less than the Exercise Price. From the date hereof until such time as the Buyers, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, hold no Securities, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, except for (i) issuances under Section 4(o) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) issuances covered by Sections 7(a) and 7(b) hereof or (ii) an issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or upon conversion of warrants, options or other convertible securities for which an adjustment has already been made pursuant to this Section 7, as to all of which this Section 7(d) does not apply, if the Company closes on the sale or issuance of Common Stock at a price which is less than the Exercise Price then in effect, or warrants, options, convertible debt or equity securities with an exercise price per share or a conversion price which is less than the Exercise Price then in effect, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or receivable for the issuance of such additional shares would purchase at the Exercise Price then in effect, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares (including a pro forma adjustment as though all such options, warrants and other convertible securities had been exercised or converted). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. An adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall not result in any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
8. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.
 
9. Sale or Merger of the Company. Upon a Merger Transaction, the Warrant Holder will have the right to exercise this Warrant concurrently with such Merger Transaction. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Merger Transaction” shall mean a consolidation or merger of the Company into another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company or entity not controlled by the then existing stockholders of the Company.
 
10. Notice of Intent to Sell or Merge the Company. The Company will give Warrant Holder ten (10) business days notice before any Merger Transaction.
 
11. Issuance of Substitute Warrant. In the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or a reclassification of Company shares of stock, which results in an adjustment to the number of shares subject to this Warrant and/or the Exercise Price hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Warrant Holder a substitute Warrant reflecting the adjusted number of shares and/or Exercise Price upon the surrender of this Warrant to the Company. However, in the event that the Company does not issue a substitute warrant, the number and class of Warrant Shares or other securities and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Warrant, and this Warrant shall relate to the adjusted number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price.

- 5 -

 
ii.
In the event that, at any time subsequent to the date on which the Warrants are called for redemption and before the Redemption Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrants are not subject to a current and effective registration statement, the Company’s right to call the Warrants for redemption shall terminate with respect to all Warrants that have not then been exercised or converted.

The Redemption Date shall be postponed for two (2) Trading Days for each day after the Warrants are called for redemption that the Market Price of the Common Stock is less than the $8.13; provided, however, that if the Market Price shall be less than $8.13 for ten (10) consecutive Trading Days or fifteen (15) Trading Days during the period from the date the Warrants are called for redemption to the Redemption Date, the Company’s right to redeem any Warrants not theretofore exercised or converted shall terminate, subject to the right of the Company to call the remaining Warrants for redemption pursuant to this Section 12.

An affidavit of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company that notice of redemption has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
 
d.
Any right to exercise or convert a Warrant to the extent that the Warrant was validly called for redemption shall terminate at 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date. After such time, Holders of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrant, the Redemption Price without interest, subject to the provisions of applicable laws relating to the treatment of abandoned property.
