then in effect.
1.3. PARTIAL EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised in part
(but not for a fractional share) by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and
at the place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the
holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a)
the number of shares of Common Stock designated by the holder in the

exercise, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or
upon the order of the holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of
the holder hereof or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any
applicable transfer taxes), may request, the number of shares of Common Stock
for which such Warrant may still be exercised.
1.4. FAIR MARKET VALUE. Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean the Fair
Market Value of a share of the Company's Common Stock. Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock as of a Determination Date shall mean:
(a) If the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange

Determination Date.
(c) Except as provided in clause (d) below, if the Company's
Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree or
in the absence of agreement by arbitration in accordance with the rules then
standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to
be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and training to pass on
the matter to be decided.
(d) If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution

such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be
payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the
charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of
Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding
at the
2
Determination Date.
1.5. COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Company will, at the time of
the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof acknowledge
in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to
which such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the holder shall fail to make
any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the
Company to afford to such holder any such rights.
1.6. TRUSTEE FOR WARRANT HOLDERS. In the event that a bank or
trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of the
Warrants pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all
the powers and duties of a warrant agent appointed pursuant to Section 10 and
shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor
person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company
or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to
this Section 1.
2.1. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES, ETC. ON EXERCISE. The Company
agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such
shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have
been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within 10 days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the holder hereof, or as such holder (upon payment by such
holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with
applicable Securities Laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) to which such holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus,
in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be
entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value
of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) to which such holder is entitled
upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
2.2. CASHLESS EXERCISE.
------------------
(a) Payment may be made either in (a) cash or by certified or
official bank check or checks payable to the order of the Company equal to the
applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) subject to the provisions contained in
Section 2.2(c) below, by delivery of Warrants, Common Stock and/or Common Stock
receivable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with Section (b) below,
or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods for the number of
Common Shares specified in such form (subject to the provisions contained in
Section 2.2(c) below, as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any
adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder
per the terms of this Warrant) and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to
receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as
provided herein.
(b) In the circumstances set forth herein, and subject to the
provisions contained in Section 2.2(c) below, if the Fair Market Value of one
share of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of
calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash the
holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of
this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly
endorsed Subscription Form in which event the Company shall issue to the holder
a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
3
X=Y (A-B)
A
---------
Where X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued to the holder
Y= the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a
portion of the Warrant is being exercised,
the portion of the Warrant being exercised
(at the date of such calculation)
A= the Fair Market Value of one share of the
Company's Common Stock (at the date of such
calculation)
B= Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of
Such calculation)
(c) The Warrant Holder may elect to pay the Purchase Price in
the manner described in Section 2.2(a)(ii) above only commencing March 30, 2001,
and only if the Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant at the
time of such exercise is not then included in a current and effective
registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
referred to in the Credit Agreement ("Registration Rights Agreement").
3. ADJUSTMENT FOR REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.
---------------------------------------------------------
3.1. REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case at
any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization,
(b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the holder of this
Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such
holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to
further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2. DISSOLUTION. In the event of any dissolution of the
Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or
assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or
cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including
cash, where applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrants after the
effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust
company having its principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the holder
or holders of the Warrants only to the extent that the value of such cash and
property exceeds the Purchase Price.
3.3. CONTINUATION OF TERMS. Upon any reorganization,
consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer)
referred to in this Section 3.3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall
be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in
the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall
4
have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In
the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transaction described in this Section 3.3, then only in such
event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrants be delivered to the
Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
4. EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS REGARDING COMMON STOCK. In the event
that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a
dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each
such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The
Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4.
The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to
receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator
is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect
on the date of such exercise.
5. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant agent of the Company.
6. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANT;
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available,
solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of
the Warrant. This Warrant entitles the holder hereof to receive copies of all
financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the
holders of the Company's Common Stock.
7. ASSIGNMENT; EXCHANGE OF WARRANT. Subject to compliance with
applicable Securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may
be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") with respect to
any or all of the Shares. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with
the Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the
Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable Securities Laws, the
Company at its expense but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable
transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor
thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor
and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a

so surrendered by the Transferor.

satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this
Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder of this Warrant is hereby granted
certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are
identical to and set forth in a Private Equity Line Credit Agreement and
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 3, 2000.
10. MAXIMUM EXERCISE. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise, on
an exercise date, this Warrant in connection with that number of shares of
Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise
date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being
made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the
Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company on such date. For the purposes of the proviso to the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder
shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance
of more than 9.99%. The restriction described in this paragraph may be revoked
upon 75 days prior notice from the Holder to the Company. The Holder may
allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by the
Subscriber shall be included in the 9.99% amount described above and which shall
be allocated to the excess above 9.99%.
11. WARRANT AGENT. The Company may, by written notice to the each
holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock
(or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1,
exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant
pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such
issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such
office by such agent.
12. TRANSFER ON THE COMPANY'S BOOKS. Until this Warrant is transferred
on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof
as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.

to the holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to
the Company in writing by such holder or, until any such holder furnishes to the
Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last holder of this
Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.
14. MISCELLANEOUS. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the
party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the laws of New York. Any dispute relating to this Warrant shall be
adjudicated in New York State. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of
reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
