ARTICLE I
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Section 1.01 METHOD OF EXERCISE. To exercise this Warrant in whole or
in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at the Warrant Agency, (a) this
Warrant, (b) a written notice, in substantially the form of the Subscription
Notice attached hereto, of such Holder's election to exercise this Warrant,
which notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased, the
denominations of the share certificate or certificates desired and the name or
names in which such certificates are to be registered and (c) the aggregate
Exercise Price for the Shares purchased (unless the Holder chooses the "cashless
exercise" option provided in the third paragraph of this Section 1.01).
-1-
The Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within
seventy-two hours thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered, in accordance with such notice, a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of Shares specified in said notice. The Share
certificate or certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as
determined by the Company, or as may be specified in such notice, 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 holders 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
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, payable in connection with the preparation,
issuance and delivery of Share certificates and new Warrants as contemplated by
Section 2.07 below (other than transfer, income or similar taxes in connection
with the transfer of securities), except that, if Share certificates or new
Warrants 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.
In lieu of a monetary payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the
Holder may elect to receive, without the payment of any additional
consideration, Shares equal to the value of this Warrant or portion thereof by
the surrender of such Warrant to the Company with the "cashless exercise"
election marked in the form of Subscription Notice. Thereupon, the Company shall
issue to the Holder, such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as is
computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
------
A
where X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to
this Section 1.01 upon such cashless exercise election.
Y = the number of Shares covered by this Warrant in
respect of which the cashless exercise election is made.
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined in Article V
hereof) of one Share, as at the time the cashless
exercise election is made.
B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant at
the time the cashless exercise election is made.
-2-
Section 1.02 SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE. All Shares
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant (the "WARRANT SHARES") pursuant to
Section 1.01 above shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and the
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of Shares for the purpose of issuance
of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Section 1.03 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES TO BE ISSUED. The Company shall not
be required to issue fractions of Shares 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 or Holders, as the case may be, in cash, an amount equal to the same
fraction of the Fair Market Value per share of outstanding Shares on the
Business Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
Section 1.04 SHARE LEGEND. Each certificate for Shares issued upon
exercise of this Warrant shall bear the legend set forth below, unless Holder's
Counsel (as defined below) shall render an opinion in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such legend is not required or at
the time of exercise such Shares are registered under the Securities Act:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"),
AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR
DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS
BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE
UNITED STATES OR (2) UPON DELIVERY OF A LEGAL OPINION TO THE COMPANY,
IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT ANY
SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
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 (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) of counsel selected by the
Holder of such certificate and who is reasonably acceptable to the Company
("HOLDER'S COUNSEL"), the securities represented thereby need no longer be
subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.

or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The
rights and remedies of the Holder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights
or remedies which it would otherwise have. The provisions of this Warrant may be

contained in this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

convenience of reference only, are not part of this Warrant and are not to
affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this
Warrant.
