certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by
the Registered Owner and shall be registered in the name of the Registered Owner

number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised.

Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Registered Owner
is entitled upon such exercise, the Company shall pay damages to the Registered
Owners equal to the actual damages incurred by the Registered Owner as a result

extent necessary to satisfy its securities delivery requirements ("Buy in Actual

outstanding after such event and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares shall be
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such event
and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (6)(a) shall become effective

redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as
of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend,
distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the
date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or

upon exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Preferred
Stock or shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued by the
Company in connection with a Stock Option Plan, or shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any options or
warrants outstanding on the date hereof or any securities to be
issued in an Underwritten Offering, or shares of Common Stock
issued or deemed to have been issued as consideration for an
acquisition by the Company of a division, assets or business (or
stock constituting any portion thereof) from another Person), for
a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately
after such issuance or sale the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the consideration per
share of Common Stock in such issuance or sale. For the purpose
of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 6e,
the following shall be applicable:
A. Issuance of Options. If at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding the Company in any manner grants any rights or
options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or any stock
or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock (other than the Underlying Shares or shares of Common Stock

Stock Option Plan, or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of any options or warrants outstanding on the date
hereof, or any securities to be issued in an Underwritten
Offering, or shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been
issued as consideration for an acquisition by the Company of a
division, assets or business (or stock constituting any portion
thereof) from another Person) (such rights or options being
herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable
stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities")
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon
the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such grant, then the Exercise Price
then in effect shall be reduced to equal the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options
or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made
upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Options.

B. Issuance of Convertible Securities. If at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding the Company in any manner issues or
sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange

deemed to have been issued by the Company in connection with a
Stock Option Plan, shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of any options or warrants outstanding on the date
hereof, shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been
issued as consideration for an acquisition by the Company of a
division, assets or business (or stock constituting any portion
thereof) from another Person) is less than the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to issuance or sale, then the Exercise
Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the
price per share for which the Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. No
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
f. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price as a result of the calculations made in this Section 6, this
Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to receive, at the adjusted Exercise
Price, that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest
one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product of the aggregate number of

Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Exercise
Price by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of
the Exercise Price.

merger, dissolution, issue 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 and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose 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.
22. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that the Company shall distribute "poison pill" rights pursuant to a
"poison pill" shareholder rights plan (the "Rights"), the Company shall, in lieu
of making any adjustment pursuant to Section 6, make proper provision so that
each Registered Owner who exercises a Warrant after the record date for such
distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be
entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of Rights to be determined as
follows: (i) if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date for the
distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing such
Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a holder of
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such
12
13
exercise at the time of such exercise would be entitled in accordance with the
terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights; and (ii) if such exercise
occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of Rights to which a holder
of the number of shares into which the Warrant to exercised was exercisable
immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the
Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable
to the Rights, and in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the
Rights.
23. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Warrant shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Registered Owners and its assigns, and shall be
binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger or acquisition of
all or substantially all the assets of the Company. The Company may not assign
this Warrant or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Registered Owner. The Registered Owner may assign this Warrant
without the prior written consent of the Company.
24. GOVERNING LAW. The corporate laws of the State of Texas shall
govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New

hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address for such notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
