Adjustment of Number of Shares The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price payable shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows: 4.1. Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustments as follows: (a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in Common Stock or make a distribution to its stockholders in Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by classification of its Common Stock other securities of the Company, then in any of the foregoing cases, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company that it would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any of the events described above, had the 4 Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of the event or any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 4. 1 (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the event retroactive to the record date, if any, for the event. (b) If the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, without any charge to the holders, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price per share that is lower at the record date mentioned below than the then Current Market Price, the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase; and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares offered would purchase at the Current Market Price as of the record date. The adjustment shall be made whenever rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities are issued, and shall become effective immediately and retroactively to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities. (c) If the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of earnings) or rights, options, warrants, or convertible, securities containing the fight to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (excluding those referred to in subsection 4.1 (b) above), then in each case the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Current Market Price on the date of distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on the date of distribution minus the then fair value (determined as provided in subparagraph (e) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of the subscription rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities applicable to one share. The adjustment shall be made whenever any distribution is made and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution. (d) No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of Warrant Shares then purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or, if this Warrant is not then exercisable, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant on the first date thereafter that this Warrant becomes exercisable; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of 5 this subsection (4.1 (d)) are not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. (e) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter. (f) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed to the Warrantholder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of the adjustment and a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring the adjustment and the computation by which the adjustment was made. (g) For the purpose of this Section 4.1, the term "Common Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company as of the Issue Date of this Warrant, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of the Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. If, at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any securities of the Company other than Common Stock, then (y) if the Warrantholder's right to purchase is on any other basis than that available to all holders of the Company's Common Stock, the Company shall obtain an opinion of an independent investment banking firm valuing the other securities and (z) thereafter the number of other securities so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Section 4. (h) Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants, or conversion privileges, if they shall have not been exercised, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent the Warrants have not then been exercised, shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be as they would have been had they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) on the basis of (i) the fact that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of the rights, options, warrants, or conversion privileges, and (h) the fact that the shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon the exercise plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants, or conversion privileges whether or not exercised; provided, however, that no readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this 6 Warrant by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale, or grant of such rights, options, warrants, or conversion rights. 4.2. No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in Section 4.1, no adjustment in respect of any dividends or distributions out of earnings shall be made during the term, or upon the exercise, of this Warrant. 4.3. No Adjustment in Certain Cases. No adjustments shall be made pursuant to Section 4 hereof in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock upon the conversion, if any, of the Company's 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes or exercise of any warrants issued to the holders thereof in connection therewith. No adjustments shall be made pursuant to Section 4 hereof in connection with the grant or exercise of presently authorized or outstanding options to purchase, or the issuance of shares of Common Stock under, the Company's director or employee benefit plan. 4.4. Preservation of Purchase Rights upon Reclassification, Consolidation, etc. In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property, assets, or business of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrantholder an agreement that the Warrantholder shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the action to purchase, upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property that it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of the consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the action. In the event of a merger described in Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the right to purchase Shares under the Warrants shall terminate on the date of such merger and thereupon the Warrants shall become null and void, but only if the controlling corporation shall agree to substitute for the Warrants, its warrants which entitle the holder thereof to purchase upon their exercise the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned or been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to such merger. Any such agreements referred to in this Section 4.4 shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4 hereof. The provisions of this Section (4.4) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, or conveyances. 4.5. Par Value of Shares of Common Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment effectively reducing the portion of the Exercise Price allocable to each Share below the par value per share of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants. 4.6. Independent Public Accountants. The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section 4, and a 7 certificate signed by the firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Section 4. 4.7. Treasury Stock. For purposes of this Section 4, shares of Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company, in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculations and adjustments described. Section 5. Notice to Holders If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full any of the following shall occur: (a) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other distribution on its Common Stock; or (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the shareholders of its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any securities or any other similar rights; or (c) any reclassification, reorganization or similar change of the Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, lease, or exchange of any significant portion of the assets of the Company; or (d) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (e) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its. Common Stock; then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder or Holders written notice thereof at least 30 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following: (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of the dividend, distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record entitled to the dividend, distribution or rights will be determined; (y) the date on which any reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company's holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement or redemption; and 8 (z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by holders of Common Stock, the date as of which the shareholders entitled to vote, will be determined. Section 6. Officers Certificate Whenever the Exercise Price or the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of Section 4 above, the Company shall promptly file with its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office, and with its transfer agent, if any, an officers' certificate executed by the Company's President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary, describing the adjustment and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the facts requiring the adjustment and the basis for and calculation of the adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Each such officers' certificate shall be made available to the Holder or Holders of this Warrant for inspection at all reasonable times, and the Company, after each adjustment, shall promptly deliver a copy of the officers' certificate relating to that adjustment to the Holder or Holders of this Warrant. The officers' certificate described in this Section 6 shall be deemed to be conclusive as to the correctness of the adjustment reflected therein if, and only if, no Holder of this Warrant delivers written notice to the Company of an objection to the adjustment within 30 days after the officers' certificate is delivered to the Holder or Holders of this Warrant. The Company will make its books and records available for inspection and copying during normal business hours by the Holder so as to permit a determination as to the correctness of the adjustment. Failure to prepare or provide the officers' certificate shall not modify the parties' rights hereunder. Section 7. Reservation of Warrant Shares Warrantholder understands that the Company does not have sufficient, authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to support the full exercise of this Warrant. The Company will use all reasonable efforts to create and properly reserve such shares.

Section 9. Payment of Taxes The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of this Warrant or the shares of Common Stock comprising the Warrant Shares; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer of the Warrants or Warrant Shares.

Section 11. Fractional Shares No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of all or any part of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share of any security called for upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in money equal to that fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of that share. Section 12. No Rights as Stockholder; Notices to Warrantholder Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Warrantholder or its transferees any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including the right to 10 vote, receive dividends, consent or receive notices as a stockholder in respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish any Holder of this Warrant with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company.
