In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and in which the Company's stockholders immediately preceding such consolidation or merger own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company following such consolidation or merger and which does not result in any reclassification of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation as the case may be, shall execute a new Warrant, providing that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price, in lieu of the Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or merger by a holder of an equivalent number of Shares. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Paragraph (A) of this Article 4 of this Warrant. The provisions of this Paragraph (A) of this Article 4 of this Warrant shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases or conveyances.

(B)

STOCK SPLITS, DIVIDENDS AND COMBINATIONS. In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding Shares or issue a stock dividend on its outstanding Shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding Shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, issuance of warrants or options, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.


(C)

All calculations under this Article 4 of this Warrant shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest share, as the case may be.




2


(D)

In any case in which this Article 4 of this Warrant shall require that an adjustment in the number of Shares be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder, if the Holder exercised this Warrant after such record date, the Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the number of Shares in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holders right to receive such additional Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.


(E)

Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in this Article 4 of this Warrant, the Company shall within thirty (30) days thereafter cause written notice thereof to be sent to the Holder pursuant to Paragraph (C) of Article 12 of this Warrant, which notice shall be accompanied by an officers certificate setting forth the number of Shares issuable and the Exercise Price thereof after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof, which officers certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment absent manifest error.


(F)

The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), it shall be eliminated by rounding such fraction to the nearest whole integer.


(G)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price per Warrant shall be required if such adjustment is less than $.001.


5.

 SHORT SALES. Neither Holder nor any affiliate of the Holder acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any short sales of the Companys stock or warrants.


6.

 CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE OR TRANSFER OF WARRANT.


(A)

Unless exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act which includes the Shares so exercised, it shall be a condition to any exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall have received, at the time of such exercise, a representation in writing from the recipient that the Shares being issued upon exercise, are being acquired for investment and not with a view to any sale or distribution thereof.


(B)

This Warrant and each certificate evidencing the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:


THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR RESALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.




3


Subject to this Article 6 of this Warrant, the Company may instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of all or a part of this Warrant, or any of the Shares, unless the conditions specified in the above legend are satisfied.


7.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:


(A)

This Warrant has been duly authorized and executed by the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.


(B)

When exercisable in accordance with the terms hereof, the Shares will have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


8.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE HOLDER. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:


(A)

This Warrant is being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.


(B)

Unless advised to the contrary in writing by the Company, the Holder is hereby informed and understands that this Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration.


(C)

The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.


(D)

The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.


9.

RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.


10.

TRANSFER. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, including, but not limited to Paragraph (B) of Article 6 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in part, by delivering a completed and duly executed Notice of Assignment (attached hereto as Exhibit B) to the Company, with such Notice of Assignment stating the individual or entity to whom it shall be transferred (the Transferee), and whether such transfer shall be for all rights remaining on the Warrant or only a portion thereof. The Warrants are transferable by Holder on the registry books of the Company or its transfer agent, upon surrender of the original Warrants, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Company or its transfer agent, together with payment of any applicable transfer taxes.  The Company and its transfer agent may deem and treat the person in whose name the Warrants are registered as the holder and as the absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants for all purposes, and neither the Company nor its transfer agent shall be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.  In the event of any transfer of rights represented by this Warrant, the Transferee shall receive a Warrant in this form as soon as practicable after the Company receives the Notice of Assignment, and, unless this Warrant has been transferred in full, a new Warrant representing the rights to acquire Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised and which have not been transferred shall also be issued to the Holder
