Method of Exercise. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, by either, at the election of this holder, (a) the surrender of the Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 duly executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company by certified or bank check or by wire transfer, of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by the number of shares then being purchased or (b) if in connection with a registered public offering of the Company's securities (provided that such offering includes the shares), the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 duly executed) at the principal office of the Company together with notice of arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company and any underwriter, in the case of an underwritten registered public offering, for payment to the Company either by certified or bank check or by wire transfer of from the proceeds of the sale of Shares to be sold by the holder in such public offering of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per Share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares which shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised and the then applicable Warrant Price paid. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice and payment of the then applicable Warrant Price and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within such ten-day period. 2 (b). In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner set forth in sub-paragraph 2(a) above, this Warrant may be exercised without payment of any other consideration, commission or remuneration, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a written notice of the Holder of this Warrant of the intention to effect a cashless exercise ("Notice of Cashless Exercise, Exhibit A-3"), duly will be computed using the following formula: X = Y (A-B)/A where; X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder of this Warrant. Y= the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being exercised. A= the Closing Price. The Closing Price means the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the last business day prior to the date of receipt of this Warrant and the Notice of Cashless Exercise, on the principal national securities exchange in the United States on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any such national securities exchange, the average of the highest reported bid and lowest reported asked price, on such day, as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("Nasdaq") through its automated quotation system or a similar organization of Nasdaq is no longer reporting such information. B= the Exercise Price. For purposes of Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and subsection (d) (3) (iii) of such Rule is intended, that the common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued. Therefore, shares issued after December 20, 2001 shall not be restricted or legend bearing certificates. 3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

Such new Warrant Agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.1. The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes. 4.2 Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Class A Common Stock, the Warrant Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall be equitably adjusted. 4.3 Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock (except any distribution specifically provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1 and 4.2), then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution and the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted. 4.4 No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant Agreement against impairment. 4.5 Notices of Record Date.

Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or number of Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall within thirty (30) days of such adjustments deliver a certificate signed by its chief financial officer to the registered holder(s) hereof setting forth in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price after giving effect to such adjustment. 6.
