The Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within

delivered, in accordance with such notice, a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in said
notice. The share certificate or certificates so delivered shall be in such

specify denominations, shall be in the amount of the number of shares of Common
Stock for which the Warrant is being exercised, and shall be issued in the name
of the Holder or such other name or names as shall be designated in such
notice. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued,
and such Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of such shares, as of
the date the aforementioned notice is received by the Company. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of
delivery of the certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock
called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be
identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate
notation may be made on this Warrant which shall then be returned to the
Holder. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (if any) and other charges
payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of share
certificates and a new Warrant, except that, if share certificates or a new
Warrant shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the
Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such
transfer shall be paid by the Holder at the time of delivering the
aforementioned notice of exercise or promptly upon receipt of a written request
of the Company for payment.
1.2 Shares To Be Fully Paid and Nonassessable. All shares of
Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any
stockholder, and from all taxes.
1.3 No Fractional Shares To Be Issued. The Company shall not be
required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this
Warrant. If any fraction of a share would, but for this Section, be issuable
upon any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of such fractional share the Company
shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount equal to such fraction of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock of the Company on the Business Day
immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
1.4 Share Legend. Each certificate for shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such
shares are registered under the Securities Act, shall bear the following
legend:
"This security has not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or under the securities laws of any state or other
jurisdiction and may not be sold, offered for sale or otherwise
transferred unless registered or qualified under said Act and
applicable state securities laws or unless the Company receives an
opinion of counsel in reasonably acceptable form and scope reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that registration, qualification or other
such actions are not required under any such laws. The offering of
this security has not been reviewed or approved by any state
securities administrator.
2
3
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon
completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under
the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel selected by the holder of such certificate and reasonably acceptable to
the Company, the securities represented thereby are no longer subject to
restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.
1.5 Reservation; Authorization. The Company has reserved
and will keep available for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant the total
number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant from
time to time outstanding. The issuance of such shares has been duly and
validly authorized and, when issued and sold in accordance with this Warrant,
such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

2.1 Warrant Agency. At any time after a public offering of
Common Stock registered under the Securities Act, the Company may promptly
appoint and thereafter maintain, at its own expense, an agency in New York, New
York, which agency may be the Company's then existing transfer agent (the
"Warrant Agency"), for certain purposes specified herein, and shall give prompt
notice of such appointment (and appointment of any successor Warrant Agency) to
the Holder. Until an independent Warrant Agency is so appointed, the Company
shall perform the obligations of the Warrant Agency provided herein at its

Person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the Holder and owner hereof

Person other than the Warrant Agency) for all purposes and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for
registration of transfer as provided in this Article II.
2.3 Transfer of Warrant. The Company agrees to maintain at the
Warrant Agency books for the registration of transfers of the Warrants, and

Agency, together with a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the
Holder or his duly authorized agent or attorney, with (unless the Holder is the
original Holder or another institutional investor) signatures guaranteed by a
bank or trust company or a broker or dealer registered with the NASD, and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon such transfer. Upon
surrender the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in the
instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. The
Warrant Agency shall not be required to register any transfers if the Holder
fails to furnish to the Company, after a request therefor, an opinion of
counsel (who may be an employee of such Holder) reasonably satisfactory to the
Company that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable blue sky laws.
2.4 Division of Warrant. This Warrant may be divided upon
surrender hereof to the Warrant Agency, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which
3

the new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder. Subject to compliance
with Section 2.3 as to any transfer which may be involved in the division, the
Company shall execute and deliver new Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or
Warrants to be divided in accordance with such notice.
2.5 Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrants. Upon
receipt of evidence 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 receipt of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant, the Company 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 aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Warrant.
2.6 Expenses of Delivery of Warrants. The Company shall pay all
expenses, taxes (other than transfer taxes) and other charges payable in
connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of this Warrant and the
Common Stock issuable hereunder.

the Warrant Shares on the first anniversary of the date of this Warrant, and
1/60th of the Warrant Shares shall vest and become Vested Warrant Shares on the
last day of each calendar month thereafter, so that all of the Warrant Shares
shall be vested and become Vested Warrant Shares 60 months after the date of

consecutive days (excluding non-Business Days for purposes of calculating the
average Fair Market Value during such 180-day period) during the period from

consideration attributable to any prior Capital Reorganization) than the
Qualifying Cash Consideration, (ii) a majority of directors of the purchaser or
surviving entity in such Capital Reorganization consists of persons who are not
Continuing Directors, and (iii) such purchaser or surviving entity is not a
member of the
6

ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS
4.1 Adjustments Generally. The Exercise Price and the number of
shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events, as provided in this Article IV.
4.2 Common Stock Reorganization. If the Company shall after the
date of issuance of this Warrant subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares or consolidate its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares (any such event being called a
"Common Stock Reorganization"), then (a) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted,
effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of shares of
Common Stock are determined for purposes of such Common Stock Reorganization,
to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date before giving
effect to such Common Stock Reorganization and the denominator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such
Common Stock Reorganization, and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted, effective
at such time, to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to purchase immediately before such Common Stock
Reorganization by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares outstanding after giving effect to such Common Stock Reorganization and
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately before such Common Stock Reorganization.
4.3 Capital Reorganization. If after the date of issuance of this
Warrant there shall be any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
party (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity), other than a
consolidation or a merger in which the Company is a continuing corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a
Common Stock Reorganization or a change in par value), in, outstanding shares
of Common Stock, or any sale, assignment, lease, exchange, conveyance or other
transfer (in one transaction or series of related transactions) of the property
of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety or all or
substantially all of the outstanding equity securities of the Company to any
person or group of related
7
8
persons for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (any such event
being called a "Capital Reorganization"), then, effective upon the effective
date of such Capital Reorganization, the Holder shall have the right to
purchase, upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have
owned or have been entitled to receive after such Capital Reorganization if
this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such Capital
Reorganization. As a condition to effecting any Capital Reorganization, the
Company or the successor or surviving corporation, as the case may be, shall
execute and deliver to the Holder an agreement as to the Holder's rights in
accordance with this Section 4.3, providing for subsequent adjustments as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Article IV. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to
successive Capital Reorganizations.
4.4 Certain Other Events. If any event occurs after the date of
issuance of this Warrant as to which the foregoing provisions of this Article
IV are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"),
fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder in accordance with the
essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board shall make
such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such
essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good
faith opinion of the Board, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.
4.5 Adjustment Rules. (a) Any adjustments pursuant to this
Article IV shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein
shall occur.
(b) If the Company shall set a record date to determine the
holders of shares of Common Stock for purposes of a Common Stock Reorganization
or Capital Reorganization, and shall legally abandon such action prior to
effecting such action, then no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this
Article IV in respect of such action.
(c) No adjustment in the amount of shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant or in the Exercise Price shall be made hereunder
unless such adjustment increases or decreases such amount or price by one
percent or more, 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 serve to adjust
such amount or price by one percent or more.
(d) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made hereunder if
such adjustment would reduce the exercise price to an amount below par value of
the Common Stock, which par value shall initially be $.01 per share of Common
Stock.
4.6 Notice of Adjustment. The Company shall give the Holder
reasonable notice of the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of
any action which requires or might require an adjustment or readjustment
pursuant to this Article IV. Such notice shall describe such event in
reasonable detail and specify the record date or effective date, as the case
may be, and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation
thereof. If the required adjustment is not determinable at the time of such
notice, the Company shall give reasonable notice to the Holder of such
adjustment and computation promptly after such adjustment becomes determinable.
