Payment of Purchase Price. Subject to Section 4, the Purchase Price may be paid (i) in cash or by certified check or wire transfer, (ii) by the cancellation, surrender or forgiveness by the Holder to the Company of any promissory notes or other obligations issued by the Company, with all such notes and obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of surrender, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. 4. Net Issue Election. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant to the Company, with the net issue election notice set forth in Appendix 1 annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is 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 pursuant to this Section 4.

The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. 8.

For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a Form of Election to Purchase hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock requested in such Form of Election to Purchase is permitted under this paragraph. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a merger or other business combination or reclassification involving the Company as contemplated in Section 11 of this Warrant.

Capitalized terms used in this Appendix III that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Warrant to which this Appendix III is attached. 2. Adjustment of Purchase Price upon Issuance of Additional Stock. The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: a. Upon each issuance by the Company of any Additional Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Additional Stock which could be purchased were the then Purchase Price used instead (calculated by dividing the total consideration to be received by the Company in such issuance by the then Purchase Price) and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock issued in such issuance. For purposes of this Section 2, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all convertible securities had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance and any outstanding warrants, options or other rights for the purchase of shares of common stock or convertible securities had been fully exercised immediately prior to such issuance (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date. b. No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to one (1) year from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of one (1) year from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections 2(d)(iii) and 2(d)(iv) below, no adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to subsection 2(a) of this Appendix III shall have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price above the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. c. In the case of issuance by the Company of Additional Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. d. In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the Issue Date) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this Section 2: i. The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (to the extent then exercisable) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in a manner consistent with subsection 2(c) of this Appendix III), if any, received by the Company upon issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum Purchase Price provided in such options or rights (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby. ii. The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for (to the extent then convertible or exchangeable) convertible or exchangeable securities or upon exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Company (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in a manner consistent with subsection 2(c) of this Appendix III). iii. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, excluding a change resulting from antidilution provisions thereof, the Purchase Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be adjusted based upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities. -2- iv. Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such options or rights to convert or exchange, or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Purchase Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities. v. The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to subsections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(ii) of this Appendix III shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either subsection 2(d)(iii) or 2(d)(iv) hereof. e. "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 2(d) of this Appendix III) by this Company after the Issue Date other than: i. Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Sections 9 and 11 of the Warrant, ii. upon exercise or conversion of outstanding options or warrants, or iii. Shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to officers, employees, consultants or directors of the Company pursuant to a compensatory benefit plan. f. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof shall be equal to (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock the holder was entitled to purchase immediately before such adjustment times the Purchase Price in effect immediately before such adjustment divided by (y) the Purchase Price in effect after giving effect to such adjustment. -3-
