as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal

hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise

2. Method of Exercise Payment: Issuance of New Warrant: Transfer and
Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant
may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during
the Term commencing on January 30, 2002.
1
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable by certified or official bank check.
(c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder

Holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such
exercise, and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing
the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall
have been cancelled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as
hereinabove provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer's
expense within such time.
(d) Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant may not be transferred by
a Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph and

form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at
the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the purchase of the same
aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the
right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof
shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers
or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with
this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
pursuant hereto.
(e) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof,
acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be
issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's
own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for
investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued
upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration
statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws.
2
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant
and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon
exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"),
AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A
TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
THE SECURITIES ACT.
(iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (e) upon the
transfer of this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be
purchased upon exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities
shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act, (B)
upon the Issuer's receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the
Issuer to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to
ensure compliance with the Securities Act or (C) upon the Issuer's
receipt of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that
such registration is not required. Whenever such restrictions shall
cease and terminate as to any such securities, the Holder thereof shall
be entitled to receive from the Issuer (or its transfer agent and
registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if
any), new Warrants (or, in the case of shares of Warrant Stock, new
stock certificates) of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends
required by paragraph (ii) above relating to the Securities Act and
state securities laws.
(f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at
any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder
hereof or of any shares of Warrant Stock issued upon such exercise, acknowledge
in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such
Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such
Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the
continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.
3. Stock Fully Paid: Reservation and Listing of Shares: Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges created by or through Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees
that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer
will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon
exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
3
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved
for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to
cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list
any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its
expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of,
all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under
the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock
which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock
shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent
specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its
Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or
modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the
Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers,
preferences or relative participating, optional or other special rights of the
Common Stock or which would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the
Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order
that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and
restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant,
and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be
reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
(e) Rights and Obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. The
Warrant Stock are entitled to the benefits and subject to the terms of the
4
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of even date herewith between the Issuer
and the Holders listed on the signature pages thereof (as amended from time to
time, the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Issuer shall keep or cause to be
kept a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto, at
its chief executive office and shall furnish, without charge, copies thereof to
the Holder upon request.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number and
kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events as follows:
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation,
Merger or Sale. (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do
any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event") (a) consolidate with or merge
into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to
consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing
or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any
Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of
any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect
a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in
the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that,
upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the
Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled (x) upon the exercise hereof at any
time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant
is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, or is redeemed in connection
with such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the
time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of
the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such
Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would
have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder
had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto,
subject to adjustments and increases (subsequent to such corporate action) as
nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Section 4
hereof or (y) to sell this Warrant (or, at such Holder's election, a portion
hereof) to the Person continuing after or surviving such Triggering Event, or to
the Issuer (if Issuer is the continuing or surviving Person) at a sales price
equal to the amount of cash, property and/or Securities to which a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise have been delivered upon
the exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon the effective date or
closing of any such Triggering Event (the "Event Consideration"), less the
amount or portion of such Event Consideration having a fair value equal to the
aggregate Warrant Price applicable to this Warrant or the portion hereof so
sold.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the
contrary, the Issuer will not effect any Triggering Event unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required
to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer
5
under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such
Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release
the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant)
and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of Securities, cash
or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have
similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, stating that this
Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof
(including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a))
shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be
required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
(iii) If with respect to any Triggering Event, the Holder of this
Warrant has exercised its right as provided in clause (y) of subparagraph (i) of
this subsection (a) to sell this Warrant or a portion thereof, the Issuer agrees
that as a condition to the consummation of any such Triggering Event the Issuer
shall secure such right of Holder to sell this Warrant to the Person continuing
after or surviving such Triggering Event and the Issuer shall not effect any
such Triggering Event unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof the
amounts of cash, property and/or Securities required under such clause (y) are
delivered to the Holder of this Warrant. The obligation of the Issuer to secure
such right of the Holder to sell this Warrant shall be subject to such Holder's
cooperation with the Issuer, including, without limitation, the giving of
customary representations and warranties to the purchaser in connection with any
such sale. Prior notice of any Triggering Event shall be given to the Holder of
this Warrant in accordance with Section 11 hereof.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Issuer, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine any shares of
Common Stock, (i) in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately reduced (as at the effective date of such subdivision or, if the
Issuer shall take a record of Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so
subdividing, as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect
the increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a
result of such subdivision, or (ii) in the case of a combination of shares, the
Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased (as at the effective date of
such combination or, if the Issuer shall take a record of Holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of so combining, as at the applicable record date,
whichever is earlier) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding as a result of such combination.
(c) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, shall:
(i) Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend in, or make any other
distribution to its stockholders (without consideration therefor) of,
shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, as at the
date the Issuer shall take a record of the Holders of the Issuer's
Capital Stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other
distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the date of such
payment or other distribution), to that price determined by multiplying
6
the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such record date (or
if no such record is taken, then immediately prior to such payment or
other distribution), by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such dividend or distribution, and (2) the denominator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such dividend or distribution (plus in the event that
the Issuer paid cash for fractional shares, the number of additional
shares which would have been outstanding had the Issuer issued
fractional shares in connection with said dividends); or
(ii) Other Dividends. Pay a dividend on, or make any
distribution of its assets upon or with respect to (including, but not
limited to, a distribution of its property as a dividend in liquidation
or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital), the Common
Stock (other than as described in clause (i) of this subsection (c)),
or in the event that the Company shall offer options or rights to
subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue any Common Stock
Equivalents, to all of its holders of Common Stock, then on the record
date for such payment, distribution or offer or, in the absence of a
record date, on the date of such payment, distribution or offer, the
Holder shall receive what the Holder would have received had it
exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the record date of
such payment, distribution or offer or, in the absence of a record
date, immediately prior to the date of such payment, distribution or
offer.
(d) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section 4.
The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments in the
Warrant Price hereinbefore provided in Section 4:
(i) Computation of Consideration. The consideration received
by the Issuer shall be deemed to be the following: to the extent that
any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents
shall be issued for a cash consideration, the consideration received by
the Issuer therefor, or if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription,
the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for
public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering
price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for
accrued interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any
compensation, discounts, commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by
the Issuer for or in connection with the underwriting thereof or
otherwise in connection with the issue thereof; to the extent that such
issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, the fair market value of such
consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith
by the Board. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock
Equivalents, plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer
upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock
7
Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or
satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of Capital Stock of the
Issuer other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have
received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so
paid or satisfied. In any case in which the consideration to be
received or paid shall be other than cash, the Board shall notify the
Holder of this Warrant of its determination of the fair market value of
such consideration prior to payment or accepting receipt thereof. If,
within thirty days after receipt of said notice, the Majority Holders
shall notify the Board in writing of their objection to such
determination, a determination of the fair market value of such
consideration shall be made by an Independent Appraiser selected by the
Majority Holders with the approval of the Board (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld), whose fees and expenses shall be paid by
the Issuer.
(ii) Readjustment of Warrant Price. Upon the expiration or
termination of the right to convert, exchange or exercise any Common
Stock Equivalent the issuance of which effected an adjustment in the
Warrant Price, if such Common Stock Equivalent shall not have been
converted, exercised or exchanged in its entirety, the number of shares
of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding by reason of the
fact that they were issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of
any such Common Stock Equivalent shall no longer be computed as set
forth above, and the Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and
thereafter be the price which it would have been (but reflecting any
other adjustments in the Warrant Price made pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 4 after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent)
had the adjustment of the Warrant Price been made in accordance with
the issuance or sale of the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock
actually issued upon conversion, exchange or issuance of such Common
Stock Equivalent and thereupon only the number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock actually so issued shall be deemed to have been issued and
only the consideration actually received by the Issuer (computed as in
clause (i) of this subsection (g)) shall be deemed to have been
received by the Issuer.
(iii) Outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of Common
Stock at any time outstanding shall (A) not include any shares thereof
then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, and (B) be deemed to include all
shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of any then outstanding Common Stock Equivalents or any other
evidences of Indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or other Securities
which are or may be at any time convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock or Other Common Stock.
(e) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case after the Original
Issue Date the Issuer shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other
than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) of
this Section 4, inclusive, and the failure to make any adjustment would not
8
fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance
with the essential intent and principle of this Section 4, then the Warrant
Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good
faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
(f) Adjustment of Warrant Share Number. Upon each adjustment in the
Warrant Price pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the
Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole
share, to the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number
immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately before giving effect
to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price
immediately after giving effect to such adjustment. If the Issuer shall be in
default under any provision contained in Section 3 of this Warrant so that
shares issued at the Warrant Price adjusted in accordance with this Section 4
would not be validly issued, the adjustment of the Warrant Share Number provided
for in the foregoing sentence shall nonetheless be made and the Holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled to purchase such greater number of shares at the
lowest price at which such shares may then be validly issued under applicable
law. Such exercise shall not constitute a waiver of any claim arising against
the Issuer by reason of its default under Section 3 of this Warrant.
(g) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need
not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and
kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of
this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at
the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national
accounting firms currently known as the "big five" selected by the Holder,
provided that the Issuer shall have ten days after receipt of notice from such
Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such
Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of
objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the
preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such
matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty days after submission to it
of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the Issuer.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be
issued in connection with and exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional
shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the
product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then
in effect.
9
7. Warrant Exercise Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a holder of this Warrant
exercise this Warrant, or a portion hereof, if the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with
all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, would result
in such holder owning more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock issued and
outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant
providing the Issuer with 75 days notice (pursuant to Section 11 hereof) (the
"Waiver Notice") that such holder would like to waive Section 7 of this Warrant
with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant, this Section 7 will be of no further force or effect with regard to the
number of shares exercisable pursuant to the Warrant, or the applicable portion
thereof, referenced in the Waiver Notice.
