This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions and
conditions:
1. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
Subject to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the limitations
contained in Section 8 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised at any time during
the Exercise Period (as defined below) by the holder hereof, in whole or in
part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise
agreement in the form attached hereto (the "EXERCISE AGREEMENT"), to the Company
by 5:00 p.m. New York time on any Business Day at the Company's principal
executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to the holder hereof) and upon payment to the Company in
cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of
the Company, of the applicable Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified
in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be
issued to the holder hereof or such holder's designee, 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 the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been
delivered and payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above
or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. The
Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof
within a reasonable time, not exceeding three Business Days, after this Warrant
shall have been so exercised (the "DELIVERY PERIOD"). If the Company's transfer
agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated
Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not
bear a legend and the holder is not obligated to return such certificate for the
placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Warrant Shares so purchased to the holder by
crediting the account of the holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system ("DTC TRANSFER"). If the aforementioned
conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the
holder physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased.
Further, the holder may instruct the Company to deliver to the holder physical
certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased in lieu of delivering
such shares by way of DTC Transfer. Any certificates so delivered shall be in
such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof, shall be registered
in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such
holder and, following the date on which the Warrant Shares may be sold by the
holder pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (or a
successor rule), shall not bear any restrictive legend. Upon a sale of any
Warrant Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, any restrictive
legend on the certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall be removed. If
this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant
has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such
certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of
shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.

2. Period of Exercise. Except as set forth in Section 3 below, this
Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time (an "EXERCISE DATE")
during the period (the "EXERCISE PERIOD") beginning on (a) the date hereof and
ending (b) at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth annual anniversary of
the date of original issuance hereof.
3. Mandatory Exercise. On any Notification Date (as defined below), the
Company may request that the Purchaser exercise this Warrant in whole but not in
part (the "MANDATORY EXERCISE") within twenty (20) Business Days after the date
of the Mandatory Exercise Notice (as defined below) by delivering a written
notice to the holder at such address as such holder shall have provided to the
Company in writing pursuant to Section 10 hereof (the "MANDATORY EXERCISE
NOTICE"). The Mandatory Exercise Notice shall set forth the Exercise Price and
the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock on each of the ten (10) consecutive
Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the Mandatory Exercise Notice and
shall state that this Warrant be exercised in conformity with this Section 3
within twenty (20) Business Days. Within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of a
Mandatory Exercise Notice, the holder shall deliver a written notice to the
Company (the "PARTICIPATION NOTICE"), stating whether or not the holder agrees
to participate in such Mandatory Exercise. If the holder states in its
Participation Notice that it elects not to participate in the Mandatory
Exercise, or if the holder fails to deliver a Participation Notice within the
time period specified in this Section 3, then (i) the holder shall forfeit such
holder's rights, title and interest under this Warrant, (ii) this Warrant shall
be deemed terminated and (iii) the holder shall deliver to the Company within
two (2) Business Days of the date of such holder's Participation Notice this
Warrant marked "cancelled." If the holder states in its Participation Notice
that it elects to participate in the Mandatory Exercise, then this Warrant shall
be deemed to be exercised without any further action on the part of the holder
hereof pursuant to this Section 3 for all of the Warrant Shares that can be
obtained pursuant to such exercise on the twentieth (20th) Business Day after
the Mandatory Exercise Notice (the "AUTOMATIC MANDATORY EXERCISE DATE"), unless
prior to noon New York City time on the Automatic Mandatory Exercise Date, the
holder shall have exercised this Warrant in whole, but not in part, in the
manner set forth in Section 1 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Mandatory Exercise may occur unless: at all times from the Notification Date
through the Automatic Mandatory Exercise Date, a Registration Statement covering
all Registrable Securities (as those terms are defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement): (i) is effective, (ii) does not require any amendment or
supplement and (iii) discloses directly or through incorporation by reference
all material facts relating to the Company and the Registrable Securities. For
purposes of this Section 3, "NOTIFICATION DATE" shall mean any Business Day
during the Exercise Period but after the Trigger Date (as defined below) which
Business Day is immediately preceded by ten (10) consecutive Trading Days on
each of which the Closing Price for the Common Stock was greater than 187.5% of
the greater of the original Exercise Price or the Exercise Price; and "TRIGGER
DATE" shall mean the date which is 30 months after the date Series 1 Warrants
were first issued under and pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

4. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants
and agrees as follows:
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances.
(b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company
shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise in full of this Warrant (without giving effect to the
limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8(g) hereof).
(c) Listing. The Company has secured the listing of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to this Warrant
upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any,
upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or become listed (subject to
official notice of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain,
so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of
all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of or
otherwise pursuant to this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each
national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be,
and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the
Company issuable upon the exercise of or otherwise pursuant to this Warrant if
and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national
securities exchange or automated quotation system.
(d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment
of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issuance 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 by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the
par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant.
(e) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any
entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets.
(f) Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall, on or before the date of
issuance of any Warrant Shares, take such actions as the Company shall
reasonably determine are necessary to qualify the Warrant Shares for, or obtain
exemption for the Warrant Shares for, sale to the
4
5
holder of this Warrant upon the exercise hereof under applicable securities or
"blue sky" laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence
of any such action so taken to the holder of this Warrant prior to such date;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify as a
foreign corporation or file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction.
5. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise
Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 5.
In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein
results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up or down
to the nearest cent; provided that, in no event shall the Exercise Price per
share be reduced below $.01.
(a) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at
any time during the Exercise Period, subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of
record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at
any time during the Exercise Period, combines (by reverse stock split,
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for
effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such combination will be proportionately increased.
(b) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased
or decreased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A)
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the adjusted Exercise Price .
(c) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other entity, or in case of
any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company at
any time during the Exercise Period, then as a condition of such consolidation,
merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder
of this Warrant will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this
Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable
upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities, cash or
assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number
of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance
not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make
5
6
appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 5 will
thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock
or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The
Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless
prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the
Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Warrant and
the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder
may be entitled to acquire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other
entity, or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, the holder of the Warrant
shall, at its option, have the right to receive, in connection with such
transaction, cash consideration equal to the fair value of this Warrant as
determined in accordance with customary valuation methodology used in the
investment banking industry.
(d) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or
make any distribution of its assets (other than cash) (or rights to acquire its
assets (other than cash)) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating
dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including
any dividend or distribution to the Company's shareholders of shares (or rights
to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a "DISTRIBUTION"), at any
time during the Exercise Period, then, upon exercise of this Warrant for the
purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, the holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive its pro-rata amount of such assets
(or such rights) as would have been payable to the holder had such holder been
the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.
(e) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which
requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price , then, and in each such case, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice
shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase
or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified
by the chief financial officer of the Company.
(f) Minimum Adjustment of the Exercise Price . No adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise
Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made,
but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the
time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such
Exercise Price.
6
7
(g) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are
to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share of Common
Stock on the date of such exercise.
(h) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common
Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution
(other than dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings
consistent with the Company's past practices with respect to declaring dividends
and making distributions) to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other
rights;
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the
Company, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to,
another corporation or entity; or
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant
(a) notice of the date or estimated date on which the books of the Company shall
close or a record shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or
for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable estimate
thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also
specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their
Common Stock for stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at
least fifteen (15) days prior to the record date or the date on which the
Company's books are closed in respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice
or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred
to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company may publicly disclose the substance of any notice delivered
hereunder prior to delivery of such notice to the holder of this Warrant.

(i) Certain Definitions.
(i) "BUSINESS DAY" means any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are
authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.
(ii) "CLOSING PRICE" shall mean for the Common Stock as of
any date, the closing bid price of such security on the principal United States
securities exchange or trading market on which such security is listed or traded
as reported by the Research Service of Nasdaq Trading and Market Services (or a
comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the holder and
reasonably acceptable to the Company if the Research Service of Nasdaq Trading
and Market Services is not then reporting closing bid prices of such security)
(collectively, "NTMS"), or if the foregoing does not apply, the last reported
sale price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic
bulletin board for such security as reported by NTMS, or, if no sale price is
reported for such security by NTMS, the average of the bid prices of any market
makers for such security as reported in the "pink sheets" by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc., in each case for such date or, if such date was not a
Trading Day (as defined below) for such security, on the next preceding day
which was a Trading Day. If the Closing Price cannot be calculated for a share
of Common Stock as of either of such dates on any of the foregoing bases, the
Closing Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as
determined by an investment banking firm selected by the holder and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by the
Company. The manner of determining the Closing Price of the Common Stock set
forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any other security
in respect of which a determination as to market value must be made.
(iii) "COMMON STOCK," for purposes of this Section 5, includes
the Common Stock and any additional class of stock of the Company having no
preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation, provided that the
shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only Common Stock in
respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares resulting from any
subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the case of any
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of the
character referred to in Section 5(c) hereof, the stock or other securities or
property provided for in such Section.
(iv) "MARKET PRICE" shall mean, with respect to any date of
determination, the average Closing Price during the five (5) Trading Days ending
on the Trading Day immediately preceding such date of determination,
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split or similar
transaction during either such relevant period. The manner of determining the
Market Price of the Common Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall
apply with respect to any other security in respect of which a determination as
to market value must be made hereunder.
8
9
(v) "TRADING DAY" shall mean a Business Day on which at
least 10,000 shares of Common Stock are traded on the principal United States
securities exchange or trading market on which such security is listed or traded
as reported by NTMS.
6. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this
Warrant or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof,
provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than the holder of this Warrant.
7. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not
entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder
of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative
action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
8. Transfer, Exchange, Redemption and Replacement of Warrant.
(a) Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted
to the holder hereof are transferable in whole or in part, at any one time, upon
surrender of this Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the
form attached hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in
Section 8(e) below, provided, however, that any transfer or assignment of this
Warrant in part shall be in minimum increments of 100,000 shares. Any transfer
or assignment of this Warrant shall be subject to the conditions set forth in
Sections 8(f), 8(g) and 9 hereof and to the provisions of Sections 4(e) and 4(f)
of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Until due presentment for registration of
transfer on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered
holder hereof as the owner and holder hereof for all purposes, and the Company
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the registration rights described in Section 8
hereof are assignable only in accordance with the provisions of the Registration
Rights Agreement.
(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant
is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the office or
agency of the Company referred to in Section 8(e) below, for new Series 1
Warrants of like tenor of different denominations representing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
purchased hereunder, each of such new Series 1 Warrants to represent the right
to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the holder hereof at
the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Series 1 Warrants shall
be exercisable for less than 5,000 shares of Common Stock, and provided further,
that in no event shall any exchange of this Warrant pursuant to this Section
8(b) affect in any way the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section
8(a) hereof.
9
10
(c) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
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, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
(d) Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in
this Section 8, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The
Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities transfer taxes) and all other
expenses (other than legal expenses, if any, incurred by the holder or
transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution,
and delivery of Series 1 Warrants pursuant to this Section 8. The Company shall
indemnify and reimburse the holder of this Warrant for all losses and damages
arising as a result of or related to any breach by the Company of the terms of
this Warrant, including costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by
such holder in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder.
(e) Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal
executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which
the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this
Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and
each prior owner of this Warrant.
(f) Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of
the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or
exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form,
substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions) to the effect that such exercise, transfer, or exchange may be
made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an "ACCREDITED
INVESTOR" as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act;
provided that no such opinion, letter, or status as an "accredited investor"
shall be required in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.
(g) Additional Restrictions on Exercise or Transfer.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 1 or Section 3 hereof to the contrary, this
Warrant shall not be exercisable to the extent (but only to the extent) that (a)
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
10
11
owned by the holder of this Warrant and its affiliates (other than shares of
Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the
unexercised portion of the Warrants or the unexercised or unconverted portion of
any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (b) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portion
thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made,
would result in beneficial ownership by such holder and its affiliates of more
than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the extent the above
limitation applies, the determination of whether and to what extent this Warrant
shall be exercisable with respect to other securities owned by such holder shall
be in the sole discretion of the holder and submission of this Warrant for full
or partial exercise shall be deemed to be the holder's determination of whether
and the extent to which this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to
such aggregate percentage limitation. No prior inability to exercise the
Warrants pursuant to this Section shall have any effect on the applicability of
the provisions of this Section with respect to any subsequent determination of
exercisability. For purposes of 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-G thereunder, except as
otherwise provided in clause (a) hereof. The restrictions contained in this
Section 8(g) may not be amended without the consent of the holder of this
Warrant and the holders of a majority of the Company's then outstanding Common
Stock. Nothing in this Section 8(g) shall affect in any way the obligations of
any holder regarding a Mandatory Exercise as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
9. Registration Rights. The initial holder of this Warrant (and certain
assignees thereof) are entitled to the benefit of such registration rights in
respect of the Warrant Shares as are set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement, including the right to assign such rights to certain assignees, as
set forth therein; provided that such initial holder and any assignee agrees, in
writing, to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
10. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the
terms of this Warrant shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return
receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier or by confirmed
telecopy, and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if
mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by
courier, or by confirmed telecopy, in each case addressed to a party. The

contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. Each of the Company
