(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></div>

below. Promptly following the date on which the Company has
received each of the Subscription Notice, the Warrant and the
Aggregate Exercise Price (the &#x201C;<font style="text-decoration: underline">Exercise Delivery
Documents</font>&#x201D;), the Company shall issue a certificate for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise
Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate
purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective
of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
number. The Company shall pay any and all stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance
and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant;
<font style="text-decoration: underline">provided</font>, that the
Holder shall be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in
respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock in any
name other than that of the Holder. Subject to <font style="text-decoration: underline">Section 11</font>, this Warrant shall
expire ten (10) years after the Issuance Date or, if such date
falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or U.S. federal holiday, the next such
business day.</font></div>
