2.1 MANNER OF EXERCISE
From and after the Closing Date and until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the
Expiration Date, Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all
or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall
deliver to the Company at its principal office at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx
000, Xx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at the office or agency designated by the
Company pursuant to Section 12, (i) a written notice of Holder's election to
exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common
Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price in cash or wire
transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank and (iii) this
Warrant. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form
appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by Holder or
its agent or attorney. Upon receipt of the items referred to in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any
event within five Business Days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and
deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall
be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as Holder
shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of Holder or,
subject to Section 9, such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person
so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of
record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the notice, together with
the cash or check or checks and this Warrant, is received by the Company as
described above and all taxes required to be paid by Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 2.2 prior to the issuance of such shares have been paid. If this
-4-
5
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of
delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock, deliver
to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the
unpurchased 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 Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same
returned to Holder. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the
Company shall not be required to register shares in the name of any Person who
acquired this Warrant (or part hereof) or any Warrant Stock otherwise than in
accordance with this Warrant.
Simultaneously with the exercise of this Warrant, payment in full of the
Warrant Price shall be made by payment of the Warrant Price in cash or by wire
transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank.
2.2 PAYMENT OF TAXES AND CHARGES
All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, freely tradable and without any preemptive rights. The Company
shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental
charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery thereof,
unless such tax or charge is imposed by law upon Holder, in which case such
taxes or charges shall be paid by Holder. The Company shall not be required,
however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer
involved in the issuance of any certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant in any name other than that of Holder, and in such
case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate
until such tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the
satisfaction of the Company that no such tax or other charge is due.
2.3 FRACTIONAL SHARES
The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common
Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder
would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall
pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to
the same fraction of the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the
Closing Date.
2.4 CONTINUED VALIDITY
A holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a holder who acquires such shares after
the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the
Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder) shall continue to be
entitled with respect to such shares to all rights to which it would have been
entitled as Holder under Sections 9, 10 and 14 of this Warrant. The Company
will, at the time of exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon the
request of Holder, acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to
Holder, its continuing obligation to afford Holder all such rights; provided,
however, that if Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall
not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to Holder all such
rights.

3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION
3.1 TRANSFER
Subject to compliance with Section 9, transfer of this Warrant and all
rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the
Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or
agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly
executed by Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall, subject to Section 9, execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees
and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall
issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not
so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. A Warrant, if properly
assigned in compliance with Section 9, may be exercised by a new Holder for the
purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new warrant issued.
3.2 DIVISION AND COMBINATION
Subject to Section 9, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the
Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations
in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by Holder or its agent or
attorney. Subject to compliance with Sections 3.1 and 9, as to any transfer
which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to
be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
3.3 EXPENSES
The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than
transfer taxes) the new Warrants or Warrants under this Section 3.
3.4 MAINTENANCE OF BOOKS
The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books
for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
4. ADJUSTMENTS
The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable,
or the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 4. The Company shall give Holder notice of any event described below
which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the time of such
event.
-6-
7
4.1 STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS
If at any time the Company shall:
(a) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of,
Additional Shares of Common Stock;
(b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number
of shares of Common Stock; or
(c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares of Common Stock;
then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Current Warrant Price
shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Current Warrant Price multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
4.2 CERTAIN OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
If at any time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other
distribution of:
(a) cash;
(b) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Convertible
Securities or Additional Shares of Common Stock); or
(c) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences
of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities or property
of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Convertible Securities or Additional
Shares of Common Stock);
then Holder shall be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution as if
Holder had exercised the Warrant. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par
value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of
stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common
Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this
Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such
reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as
the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of
Section 4.1.
-7-
8
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, in the event
that the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the C losing Date
declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (including, without
limitation, any distribution of stock or other securities or property or rights
or warrants to subscribe for securities of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries by way of dividend or spin-off) on shares of its Common Stock in
connection with a spin-off of assets or businesses of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to the Company's stockholders, then, and in each such case, the
Company shall declare, order, pay and make the same dividend or distribution to
each Holder of the Warrants as would have been made with respect to the number
of Common Shares such Holder would have received had it exercised all of its
Warrants in full for all the Common Shares then underlying such Warrants,
immediately prior to such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that 50%
of any such dividend or distribution due to the Holder with respect to each
Warrant shall be paid to the Holder at the time such dividend or distributions
made to the other shareholders of the Company and the remaining 50% of such
dividend or distribution shall be deposited with an escrow agent reasonably
acceptable to the Holder and the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Holder and the Company, which escrow agreement will
provide that the remaining 50% of such dividend or distribution deposited with
such escrow agent with respect to each Warrant will be delivered to the Holder
on the earlier of the date the Holder exercises such Warrant or the Expiration
Date.
4.3 OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ADJUSTMENTS UNDER THIS SECTION
The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments
of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
and the Current Warrant Price provided for in this Section 4:
(a) WHEN ADJUSTMENTS TO BE MADE. The adjustments required by this Section 4
shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an
adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event
shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its
occurrence.
(b) FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. In computing adjustments under this Section 4,
fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest
1/10th of a share.
(c) WHEN ADJUSTMENT NOT REQUIRED. If the Company shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon
its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase
rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking
of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall
be rescinded and annulled.
(d) CHALLENGE TO GOOD FAITH DETERMINATION. Whenever the Board of Directors
of the Company shall be required to make a determination in good faith of the
fair value of any item under this Section 4, such determination may be
challenged in good faith by the Holder, and any dispute shall be resolved by an
investment banking firm of recognized national standing selected by the Company
and acceptable to Holder.

4.4 REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR DISPOSITION
OF ASSETS
In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital
stock, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (where the Company is
not the survivor or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to
the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another Person,
or effectuate a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (each, a "FUNDAMENTAL
CORPORATE CHANGE") and, pursuant to the terms of such Fundamental Corporate
Change, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("OTHER
PROPERTY"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of the Warrant, such number of shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and Other Property as is receivable upon or as a result of such Fundamental
Corporate Change by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate
Change. In case of any such Fundamental Corporate Change, the successor or
acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due
and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition
of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the
obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be
deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. For purposes of this Section
4.4, "COMMON STOCK OF THE SUCCESSOR OR ACQUIRING CORPORATION" shall include
stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or
assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not
subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness,
shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable
for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date
or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Corporate Change.
4.5 OTHER ACTION AFFECTING COMMON STOCK
In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action
in respect of its Common Stock, other than any action described in this Section
4, which would have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of Holder, the
number of shares of Common Stock and/or the purchase price thereof shall be
adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances, as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
-9-
10
4.6 CERTAIN LIMITATIONS
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to
enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would
cause the Current Warrant Price to be less than the par value per share of
Common Stock.
5. NOTICES TO HOLDER
5.1 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS
Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable, or whenever the price at which a share of such Common Stock may be
purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section
4, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief
financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated
(including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the
Company determined the fair value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of
stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights referred to in Section 4.2), specifying the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was
made pursuant to Section 4.4 or 4.5) describing the number and kind of any other
shares of stock or Other Property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and any
change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such
adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such
certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with Section 14.2. The
Company shall keep at its office or agency designated pursuant to Section 12
copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for
inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder or any
prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by Holder.
5.2 NOTICE OF CORPORATE ACTION
If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or
any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
any other right; or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation; or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least 30 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend,
-10-
11
distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any
such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 30 days' prior
written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in
accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which
any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and
(ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which
the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be
sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of Holder
appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section
14.2.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of
securities or other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all
such action 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, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all
such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body
having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform
its obligations under this Warrant.
Upon the request of Holder, the Company will at any time during the period
this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to
Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the
Company hereunder.
7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK
From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available for issuance upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All shares of Common Stock
which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment
therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and validly
issued and fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights.
-11-
12
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the
Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any
corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at
such adjusted Current Warrant Price.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public
regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
8. TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS
In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the
holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4
refers to the taking of record of such holders, the Company will in each case
take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a
Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or
Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or
transfer of any Warrant.
9. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall not be transferred, hypothecated
or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 9,
which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Warrant or any Warrant Stock.
Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 9.

9.2 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFERS
Prior to any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Warrants or any shares
of Restricted Common Stock, the Holder shall give ten days' prior written notice
(a "TRANSFER NOTICE") to the Company of Holder's intention to effect such
Transfer, describing the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and
obtain from counsel to Holder who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, an opinion that the proposed Transfer of such Warrants or such
Restricted Common Stock may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act. After receipt of the Transfer Notice and opinion, the Company
shall, within five days thereof, notify the Holder as to whether such opinion is
reasonably satisfactory and, if so, such holder shall thereupon be entitled to
Transfer such Warrants or such Restricted Common Stock, in accordance with the
terms of the Transfer Notice. Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares
of Restricted Common Stock issued upon such Transfer shall bear the restrictive
legend set forth in Section 9.1(a), and the Warrant issued upon such Transfer
shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 9.1(b), unless in the
opinion of such counsel such legend is not required in order to ensure
compliance with the Securities Act. Holder shall not be entitled to Transfer
such Warrants or such Restricted Common Stock until receipt of notice from the
Company under this Section 9.2 that such opinion is reasonably satisfactory.

shall use its best efforts to cause the Commission to declare such Registration
Statement effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable but no
later than 120 days after the Closing Date.
9.4 TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 9, the restrictions
imposed by this Section upon the transferability of the Warrants, the Warrant
Stock and the Restricted Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants) and the legend requirements of Section 9.1 shall
terminate as to any particular Warrant or share of Warrant Stock or Restricted
Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) (i)
when and so long as such security shall have been effectively registered under
the Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto or (ii) when the Company
shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that
such shares may be transferred without registration thereof under the Securities
Act. Whenever the restrictions imposed by Section 9 shall terminate as to this
Warrant, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive
from the Company upon written request of the Holder, at the expense of the
Company, a new Warrant bearing the following legend in place of the restrictive
legend set forth hereon:
"THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF THE WITHIN WARRANT CONTAINED
IN SECTION 9 HEREOF TERMINATED ON __________, _____, AND ARE OF NO
FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT."
All Warrants issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination of,
or in substitution for, any Warrant or Warrants entitled to bear such legend
shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon. Whenever the restrictions imposed
by this Section shall terminate as to any share of Restricted Common Stock, as
hereinabove provided, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, at the Company's expense, a new certificate representing such Common
Stock not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 9.1(a).
9.5 LISTING ON SECURITIES EXCHANGE
If the Company shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities
exchange or quotation system, it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain
and, when necessary, increase such listing of, all shares of Common Stock issued
or, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules,
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant so long as any shares of Common Stock
shall be so listed during any such Exercise Period.
-14-
15
10. SUPPLYING INFORMATION
The Company shall cooperate with Holder in supplying such information as
may be reasonably necessary for Holder to complete and file any information
reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition
to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any
Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.
11. LOSS OR MUTILATION
Upon receipt by the Company from Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that
the written agreement of the Holder shall be sufficient indemnity), and in case
of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute
and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to Holder; provided, in
the case of mutilation no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in
identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
12. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY
As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall
maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of
the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of
transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to
purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the
purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether
such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
14. MISCELLANEOUS
14.1 NONWAIVER AND EXPENSES
No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right
hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or
otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies. If the Company fails to
make, when due, any payments provided for hereunder, or fails to comply with any
other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as
shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate
proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or
in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements of any kind
which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Holder in any manner
relating to or arising out of any failure by the Company to perform or observe
in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings or
obligations set forth in this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company will
not be liable hereunder to the extent that any liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, attorneys' fees,
expenses or disbursements are found in a final nonappealable judgment by a court
to have resulted from Holder's gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
in its capacity as a stockholder or warrantholder of the Company.
14.4 REMEDIES
Holder in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under Section 9 of this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach
by it of the provisions of Section 9 of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
14.5 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 9, this Warrant and the
rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successors of the Company and the successors and assigns of Holder. The
provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders

such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall only be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Warrant.
