-----------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

Agreement when executed and delivered by the Purchaser will constitute a valid
and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser.

by this Agreement and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its
investment pursuant to this Agreement.
3.3. Purchase for Own Account. The Securities will be acquired for
------------------------
the Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to
or in connection with the sale or distribution of any part thereof.
3.4. Exempt from Registration; Restricted Securities. The Purchaser
-----------------------------------------------
understands that the Warrant will not be registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), on the ground that the sale provided for in this
Agreement is exempt from registration under of the Act, and that the reliance of
the Company on such exemption is predicated in part on the Purchaser's
representations set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser understands that
the Securities are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under
the Act, and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
or an exemption from such registration is available.
3.5. Restrictive Legends. It is understood that the Warrant and each
-------------------
certificate representing the Warrant Stock and any other securities issued in
respect of the Warrant Stock upon any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger or similar event (unless no longer required in the
opinion of counsel for the Company) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted
-10-
with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend
that may now or hereafter be required by applicable state law):
THE WARRANT/SECURITIES EVIDENCED OR CONSTITUTED HEREBY AND THE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE ISSUED WITHOUT
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT
REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT UNLESS EITHER (i) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH
SUCH DISPOSITION OR (ii) THE SALE OF SUCH SECURITIES IS MADE PURSUANT TO
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE 144.
The legend set forth above shall be removed by the Company from any
certificate evidencing Warrant Stock upon delivery to the Company of an opinion
by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that a registration
statement under the Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legend
security or that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale
without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer
will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to
which the Company issued the Warrant Stock.

all or a part of the Registrable Securities, the Company will:
(1) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and
(2) as soon as practicable, use its diligent best efforts to
effect such registration, qualification and compliance (including, without
limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments,
appropriate qualification under the applicable blue sky or other state
securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued
under the Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be
so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all
or such portion of the Registrable Securities of such Holder(s) as are specified
in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities
of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written
notice given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice of the
proposed registration from the Company. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable, but
in any event within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the request or
requests of the Initiating Holders.
(b) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
------------
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company and shall designate the underwriter or
underwriters to be employed in connection therewith (who shall be selected by
the majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and who shall be subject to
the Company's right of reasonable approval) as a part of their request made
pursuant to Section 4.2(a) and the Company shall include such information in the
written notice referred to in Section 4.2(a)(1). In such event, the right of
any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be conditioned
upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually
agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to
the extent provided herein. The Company shall (together with all Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating
Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.2, if the
underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the securities
of the Company (other than Registrable Securities) held by officers or directors
and by other shareholders shall be excluded from such registration to
-12-
the extent so required by such limitation and if a limitation of the number of
shares is still required, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all
Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be registered and
underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated among the Holders of
Registrable Securities requesting registration in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders
at the time of filing of the registration statement and requested to be included
in the registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting,
it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the
underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities so withdrawn
shall also be withdrawn from registration.
(c) Inclusion of Other Securities. The Company shall have the right
-----------------------------
to include in any registration statement effected pursuant to this Section 4.2
securities to be sold on behalf of the Company. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 4.2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders
in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares
to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise the Company and
the number of shares to be included in the registration and underwriting on
behalf of the Company shall be reduced first, and prior to any reduction in the
number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in the offering on
behalf of the Holders, to the extent necessary to comply with the underwriters'
limitation.
(d) Deferral by Company. If the Company shall furnish to the
-------------------
Initiating Holders, within ten (10) days of the delivery of their request for
registration pursuant to this Section 4.2, a certificate signed by the President
of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and
its shareholders for such registration to be effected at such time, the Company
shall have the right to defer the filing of the registration' statement for a
period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt of the
request of the Initiating Holders under this Section 4.2, except that the
Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any two (2) year period.
(e) Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
-----------
Section 4.2, the Holder's right to request registration of Registrable
Securities under this Section 4.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:
(1) The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to
effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Section 4.2 after the Company has effected two (2) registrations, qualifications
or compliances pursuant to requests under this Section 4.2. A registration,
qualification or compliance shall not be deemed "effected" for purpose of this
Section 4.2 (i) unless it has become effective and is maintained effective until
all Registrable Securities are sold thereunder, (ii) if, after it has become
effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or
other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency,
authority or body for any reason other than a material misrepresentation or
omission by the Holders of Registrable Securities included therein, or (iii) if
the conditions to closing specified in the purchase or underwriting agreement
entered into in
-13-
connection with such registration are not satisfied other than by reason of some
act or omission by any of the Holders of Registrable Securities included
therein;
(2) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration
hereunder in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required
to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to the service of
process in effecting such registration.
4.3. Company Registration.
--------------------
(a) Notice of Registration. If, at any time or from time to time from
----------------------
and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall determine
to register any of its securities, either for its own account or for the account
of a security holder or holders (other than a registration relating solely to
employee stock option or purchase plans or relating solely to an SEC Rule 145
transaction), the Company will:
(1) promptly and in any event within twenty (20) days prior to the
anticipated filing date of such registration statement, give to each Holder
written notice thereof which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which
the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable
blue sky or other state securities laws;
(2) include in such registration (and any related qualification
under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved
therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in any written request or
requests, made within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice from
the Company, by any Holder or Holders, except as set forth in Section 4.3(b)
below.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives
------------
notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(1). In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and other holders distributing their securities
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the
Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.3, if the
underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number
of shares to be underwritten, the Company shall include in such registration (i)
first, all of the securities to be included in such registration for the
Company's own account, and (ii) second, up to the full number of Registrable
Securities and other securities of the Company sought to be included in such
registration by Holders and other security holders to whom the Company has
granted registration rights ("Other Holders"); and, if less than the full number
of such securities is to be included, the number to be included shall be
allocated pro rata on the basis of the total number of Registrable Securities
and other securities sought to be included in such registration by the Holders
and Other Holders; provided, however, that in no event shall the securities
-------- -------
being offered by the Holders be less than thirty percent (30%) of the total
number of securities requested by the Holders to be included in
-14-
such registration and underwriting. The Company shall advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten
pursuant hereto of any such limitations, and the number of shares of Registrable
Securities that may be included in the registration. If any Holder disapproves
of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. The Registrable
Securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration.
4.4. Form S-3 Registration. If, at any time from and after the first
---------------------
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall receive, from any Holder or
Holders, a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on
Form S-3 (or any substantially equivalent registration form under the Act
subsequently adopted by the SEC that permits incorporation by reference to other
documents filed by the Company with the SEC), and any related qualification or
compliance, with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by
such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all
such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit
or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of the
Registrable Securities of such Holder(s) as are specified in such request,
together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other
Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written notice given
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice of the proposed
registration from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
-------- -------
obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant
to this Section 4.4:
(1) if Form S-3 is not then available for such offering by the
Holders; or
(2) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders, within ten (10)
days of the delivery of their request for registration pursuant to this Section
4.4, a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that, in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form S-3
registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have
the right to defer the filing of a Form S-3 registration statement for a period
of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of
the Holder or Holders under this Section 4.4, except that the Company shall not
utilize this right more than once in any two (2) year period; or
(3) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period
preceding the date of such request, already effected one registration on Form S-
3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.4; or
(4) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of
process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
-15-
Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities
so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the
request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this
Section 4.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations
effected pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, respectively.
4.5. Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection
------------------------
with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 4.2,
Section 4.3 or Section 4.4, including without limitation, all registration,
filing and qualification fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, expenses of any special audits incidental to or
required by such registration and the fees and disbursements of one counsel
retained by the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration,
qualification or compliance shall be borne by Company, except that:
(a) the Company shall not be required to pay for expenses of any
registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 4.2, the request of which has
been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders, in which case such
expenses shall be borne by the Initiating Holders requesting or causing such
withdrawal; and
(b) the Company shall not be required to pay any underwriters'
discounts, commissions or stock transfer taxes relating to Registrable
Securities.
4.6. Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration,
-----------------------
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 4,
the Company will keep each Holder participating therein advised in writing as to
the initiation of such registration, qualification and compliance and as to the
completion thereof. At its expense (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5
above), the Company will:
(a) keep any such registration, qualification or compliance
pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 above effective for a period of ninety (90)
days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in
the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs;

incident thereto as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;
(c) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and

(d) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered
by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the Act, of the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
-16-
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing; and
(e) furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4, on the date
that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in
connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 4, if such securities
are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold
through underwriters, on the date that the registration statements with respect
to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the

and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from
the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and
substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters,

4.7. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify
------------------------------
each Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to which registration,
qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 4, each
of its officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder, and each
underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Securities and each person who controls
any such underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses and
liabilities of any nature whatsoever (or actions in respect thereof) arising out
of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other documents (including any related registration, statement, notification or
the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or
based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Act or any state securities
law or of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act or any state
securities law applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction
required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification
or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers and
directors, and each person controlling such Holder, and each such underwriter
and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such claim, loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or action, except that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim,
loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or action arises out of or is based on
any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the
Company in an instrument duly executed by any Holder or underwriter and stated
to be specifically for use therein, and except that the foregoing indemnity
agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission)
made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended
prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement becomes
effective or in the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule
424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall
-17-
not inure to the benefit of any underwriter or any Holder, if there is no
underwriter, if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the person or
entity asserting the claim, loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or action at
or prior to the time such action is required by the Act.
(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder will, if Registrable
------------------------------
Securities held by or issuable to such Holder are included in the securities to
which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected,
indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if
any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each
person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, and each other
Holder, each of such other Holder's officers and directors and each person
controlling such other Holder, against all claims, losses, damages, costs,
expenses and liabilities of any nature whatsoever (or actions in respect
thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other documents (including any related
registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the
Company, such other Holders, such directors, officers, persons or underwriters
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, cost, expense,
liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged
omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular
or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company in an instrument duly executed by such Holder and
stated to be specifically for use therein, except that the foregoing indemnity
agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission)
made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the Final
Prospectus, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of the
Company or any underwriter or any Holder, if there is no underwriter, if a copy
of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the person or entity asserting the
claim, loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or action at or prior to the time
such action is required by the Act. In no event shall the indemnity under this
Section 4.7(b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such
Holder.
(c) Procedures for Indemnification. Each party entitled to
------------------------------
indemnification under this Section 4.7 (the "Indemnified Party"), shall give
notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying
Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim
as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to
assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom,
provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense
of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose
approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may
participate in such defense. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
under this Section 4.7, unless the failure or delay in giving notice has a
material adverse impact on the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend
against such claim. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does
-18-
not include as an unconditional term thereof, the giving of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation. If any such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel chosen by it that there may be one or more
legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or
additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such
Indemnified Party and will reimburse such Indemnified Party and any person
controlling such Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses of any
counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, it being understood that the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for such Indemnified Party
or controlling person, which firm shall be designated in writing by the
Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.
4.8. Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable
---------------------
Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by
such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as
shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance referred to in this Section 4.
4.9. Rule 144 Reporting. From and after such time that the Company

available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may
permit the sale of Warrant Stock or Registrable Securities to the public without
registration, the Company agrees to:
(a) at all times make and keep public information available, as
those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144;

such securities without registration.
4.10. Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights
-------------------------------

effected in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and
provided further that the Company is given written notice of such transfer at
-19-
the time of or within a reasonable time after such transfer, stating the name
and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned.
4.11. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. Any right given
---------------------------------------------
by Company to any holder or prospective holder of Company's securities in
connection with the registration of securities shall be conditioned such that it
shall be consistent with the provisions of this Section 4 and with the rights of
the Holders provided in this Agreement. This Section 4 shall not limit the
right of the Company to enter into any agreements with any holder or prospective
holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder
the right to require the Company, upon any registration of any of its
securities, to include, among the securities which the Company is then
registering, securities owned by such holder, but only if such rights provide
that, if the underwriter in any such registration requires a reduction in the
number of securities to be included in such registration, then the amount of
securities included in any such registration at the request and on behalf of
such holder shall be reduced (or eliminated, if necessary) prior to any
reduction in the securities requested by the Purchaser to be included in such
registration.
4.12. Limitation on Registration. The Company shall not be obligated
--------------------------
to effect any registration pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 hereof if the

certain Warrant Purchase Agreement between the Company and Intel Corporation of
even date herewith (the "Purchase Agreement"). This Warrant shall terminate on
------------------
the Expiration Date.
1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Warrant:
1.1. The term "Warrant Stock" shall mean the Common Shares, $0.001 par
-------------
value per share, of the Company, and any other securities and property at any
time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the context

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
2.1. Payment.
-------
Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant
and applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in
part at any time on or before the Expiration Date, by surrendering this Warrant
at the principal office of the Company together with:
(a) the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the
"Notice of Exercise") duly executed by the Holder, and
-------------------
(b) payment, (i) in cash (by check) or by wire transfer, (ii) by
cancellation by the Holder of indebtedness of the Company to the Holder or (iii)
by a combination of (i) and (ii), of an amount equal to the product obtained by
multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Stock being purchased upon such
exercise by the then effective Exercise Price (the "Exercise Amount").
---------------
2.2. Net Issue Exercise
------------------
In lieu of the payment methods set forth in Section 2.1(b) above, the
Holder may elect to exchange the Warrant for shares of Warrant Stock equal to
the value of the amount of the Warrant being exchanged on the date of exchange.
If Holder elects to exchange this Warrant as provided in this Section 2.2,
Holder shall tender to the Company the Warrant for the amount being exchanged,
along with written notice of Holder's election to exchange up to the full amount
of the Warrant, and the Company shall issue to Holder the number of shares of
the Company's Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:
-3-
X = Y (A-B)
-------
A
Where X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to
Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under the
amount of the Warrant being exchanged (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation).
A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common Stock.
B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
All references herein to an "exercise" of the Warrant shall include an
exchange pursuant to this Section 2.2.
2.3. Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise.
--------------------------------------------
In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall
cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Warrant Stock
purchasable hereunder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for
exercise as provided above. The person entitled to receive the shares of
Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all
purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on
the date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.
2.4. Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares.
-------------------------------------
As soon as practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue
and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate
or certificates for the number of whole shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon
such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share equal to
such fraction of the Fair Market Value of one whole share of Warrant Stock as of
the date of exercise of this Warrant. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.
3. VALID ISSUANCE; TAXES.
All shares of Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Company shall pay all
taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue
or delivery thereof. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other
charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any
certificate for shares of Warrant Stock in any name other than that of the
Registered Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or
other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company's
reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.
-4-
4. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
The number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Exercise Price are subject to
adjustment upon occurrence of the following events:
4.1. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of
------------------------------------------------------------------
Shares.
------
The Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased
and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or
subdivision of the Company's Common Stock. The Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall be proportionally increased and the number of shares of Warrant Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other
securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be
proportionally decreased to reflect any combination of the Company's Common
Stock.
4.2. Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions of Stock or Other
-----------------------------------------------------------
Securities or Property.
----------------------
In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date
for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or
other distribution with respect to the Warrant Stock (or any shares of stock or
other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) payable in
(i) securities of the Company or (ii) assets (excluding cash dividends paid or
payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such case, the Holder of
this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation, effective
date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, shall receive, in
addition to the shares of Warrant Stock (or such other stock or securities)
issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the payment of
additional consideration therefore, the securities or such other assets of the
Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such
Holder had exercised this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during
the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise,
retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as
aforesaid during such period giving effect to all adjustments called for by this
Section 4.
4.3. Reclassification.
----------------
If the Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall
change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant
exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or
classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such
number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such
change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights
under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change
and the Exercise Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Section 4.
-5-
4.4. Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the
Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of
shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially
all the assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall
be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and
upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock
or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the
shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to
receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this
Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided
in this Section 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and
transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at
the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share
consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares in connection with any
such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the
value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company's
Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in
good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application
of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of
the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant
shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation
to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of
this Warrant.
4.5. Reservation of Securities and Assets.
------------------------------------
The Company shall reserve, for the life of the Warrant, such
securities or such other assets of the Company the Holder is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section 4.
5. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.
In each case of any adjustment in the Exercise Price, or number or type of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Chief Financial Officer of
the Company shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in
detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of
the adjusted Exercise Price. The Company shall promptly send (by facsimile and
by either first class mail, postage prepaid or overnight delivery) a copy of
each such certificate to the Holder.
6. LOSS OR MUTILATION.
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the
ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and
of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the
-6-
Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as
the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
7. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK.
The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for
issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of
Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to
time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take
all steps necessary to amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient
reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All
such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens,
security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and
free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions
arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall
constitute full authority to the Company's officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
8. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and compliance with all
applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be
transferred, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for
such purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the
Registered Holder hereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary
transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Upon any
permitted partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to the Registered
Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock not
so transferred. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the
same, consents and agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed,
the person in possession of this Warrant may be treated by the Company, and all
other persons dealing with this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any
purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby,
any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however that until a
transfer of this Warrant is duly registered on the books of the Company, the
Company may treat the Registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.
9. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective
registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") under the Act covering the disposition or sale of this Warrant or the
Warrant Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof, as the case may be, and
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, such
Holder will not sell, transfer pledge, or hypothecate any or all such Warrants
or Warrant Stock, as the case may be, unless either (i) the Company has received
an opinion of counsel to the effect that such registration is not required in
connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such securities is made
pursuant to SEC Rule 144.
-7-
10. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.
By acceptance of this Warrant, the holder hereby represents, warrants and
covenants that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, any distribution thereof; that the Holder has had such
opportunity as such Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of
the Company such information as is necessary to permit the holder to evaluate
the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; that the Holder is able
to bear the economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired pursuant to
the exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period; that the Holder
understands that the shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this
Warrant will not be registered under the Act (unless otherwise required
pursuant to exercise by the holder of the registration rights, if any,
previously granted to the registered Holder) and will be "restricted securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act and that the exemption from
registration under Rule 144 currently is not available for at least two years
from the date of exercise of this Warrant, subject to any special treatment by
the Securities and Exchange Commission for exercise of this Warrant pursuant to
Section 2.2, and even then will not be available unless a public market then
exists for the stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then
available to the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied
with; and that all stock certificates representing shares of stock issued to the
Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may have affixed thereto a legend
substantially in the following form:
THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE
ISSUED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
("THE ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS EITHER (i) THE
COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION
IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DISPOSITION OR (ii) THE SALE OF
SUCH SECURITIES IS MADE PURSUANT TO SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE
144.
11. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDERS.
This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other
rights as a shareholder of the Company. In the absence of affirmative action by
such Holder to purchase Warrant Stock by exercise of this Warrant, no provisions
of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the
Holder hereof shall cause such Holder hereof to be a shareholder of the Company
for any purpose.
12. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
"Registrable Securities" as defined in the Purchase Agreement and entitled,
subject to the terms and conditions of that agreement, to all registration
rights granted to holders of Registrable Securities thereunder.

13. NOTICES.
All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall
be given in accordance with Paragraph 7.5 of the Purchase Agreement.

only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.
15. LAW GOVERNING.
This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and
governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware.
16. NO IMPAIRMENT.
The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or
bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities, sale of assets or any 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the Registered Holder of this Warrant against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not
increase the par value of any shares of stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and (b) will take
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Warrant Stock
upon exercise of this Warrant.
17. NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In case:
17.1. the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
(or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of
any class or any other securities or to receive any other right; or
17.2. of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, any capital reorganization or the Company, any reclassification of
the Capital Stock of the Company, or any conveyance of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company to another corporation in which holders of the
Company's stock are to receive stock, securities or property of another
corporation; or
17.3. of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company; or
17.4. of any redemption or conversion of all outstanding Common Stock;

the Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be,
(i) the date on which a
-9-
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right,
or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or
conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which
the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities as at the
time are receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up. Such notice shall be delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to
the date therein specified.
18. SEVERABILITY.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Warrant is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated.
19. COUNTERPARTS.
For the convenience of the parties, any number of counterparts of this

agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Holders of this Warrant or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any
way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to holders of
the Company's securities under any other agreements, except rights that have
been waived.
