Neither the Lost Certificate nor the Warrant Holder's rights therein have, in

respecting the Lost Certificate or the proceeds thereof.
4. The Warrant Holder agrees that if the Lost Certificate shall ever
come into the custody and control of the Warrant Holder, the Warrant Holder
shall immediately and without consideration surrender the Lost Certificate to
the Company or its successors or transfer agents for cancellation.
