THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Societe Generale or its

This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and
conditions:
1. Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the provisions hereof, including,
without limitation, the limitations contained in Section 7(f) hereof, this
Warrant may be exercised as follows:
(a) Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (or evidence of loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation thereof in accordance with Section 11(e) hereof),
together with a completed exercise agreement in the Form of Exercise Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Exercise Agreement"), to the Company at the
Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder), and upon payment to the
Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the
account of the Company, of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified
in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be
issued to the Holder or Xxxxxx's designees, as the record owner of such shares,
as of the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed
Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment (or notice of an
election to effect a Cashless Exercise) shall have been made for such shares as
set forth above.
(b) Issuance of Certificates. Subject to Section 1(c), certificates for
the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Holder within a
reasonable time, not exceeding four (4) business days, after this Warrant shall
have been so exercised (the "Delivery Period"). The certificates so delivered
shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder and shall be
registered in the name of Holder or such other name as shall be designated by
such Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then,
unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time
of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not
then have been exercised.
(c) Exercise Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to an
exercise, the Company shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock
as are not disputed in accordance with this Section. If such dispute involves
the calculation of the Exercise Price, the Company shall submit the disputed
calculations to a "Big Six" independent accounting firm (selected by the
Company) via facsimile within three (3) business days of receipt of the Exercise
Agreement. The accounting firm shall audit the calculations and notify the
Company and the converting Holder of the results no later than two (2) business
days from the date it receives the disputed calculations. The accounting firm's
calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The Company shall
then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with
this Section.
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Exercise Price of a share of
Common Stock (as determined for exercise of this Warrant into whole shares of
Common Stock); provided that in the event that sufficient funds are not legally
available for the payment of such cash adjustment any fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
(e) Buy-In. If (i) the Company fails for any reason to deliver during
the Delivery Period shares of Common Stock to Holder upon an exercise of this
Warrant and (ii) after the applicable Delivery Period with respect to such an
exercise, Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares
of Common Stock to make delivery upon a sale by Holder of the shares of Common
Stock (the "Sold Shares") which Holder was entitled to receive upon such
exercise (a "Buy-in"), the Company shall pay Holder (in addition to any other
remedies available to Holder) the amount by which (x) Holder's total purchase
price (including brokerage commission, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the net proceeds received by Holder from the sale of the
Sold Shares. For example, if Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of
Common Stock sold for $10,000, the Company will be required to pay such Holder
$1,000. Holder shall provide the Company written notification indicating any
amounts payable to Holder pursuant to this subsection.
2. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from
time to time on or after the date hereof and before 5:00 P.M., St. Louis time on
the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof (the "Exercise Period").
3. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances.
(b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company
shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon the Nasdaq
National Market ("NASDAQ") as required by Section 4.9 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement and upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation
system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or become
listed and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be
so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each
national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be,
and shall maintain such listing of any other shares of capital stock of the
Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is and so long as any shares
of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or
automated quotation system.
(d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of
its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the Holder of this
Warrant, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value
of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above
the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions 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.
4. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise
Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as provided in this Section 4. In the event that any adjustment of the
Exercise Price as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise
Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent.
(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of
Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c) and 4(e) hereof, if
and whenever after the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or
sells, or in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or
sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per
share less than the Market Price (as herein defined) on the date of issuance (a
"Dilutive Issuance"), then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the
Exercise Price will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
E' = E x O + P/M
-------
CSDO
where:
E' = the adjusted Exercise Price
E = the then current Exercise Price;
M = the then current Market Price;
O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Dilutive Issuance;
P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Section
4(b) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive
Issuance; and
CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding
(as herein defined) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance.
(b) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 4(a) hereof, the following
will be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner
issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately
exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities
exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible
Securities"), but not to include the grant or exercise of any stock or options
which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee or Director
benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so
long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the
non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of
the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such
purpose (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or
Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options"), and the price
per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options
is less than the Market Price on the date of issuance ("Below Market Options"),
then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or
exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of the date of the
issuance or grant of such Below Market Options, be deemed to be outstanding and
to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the price per share for which Common Stock
is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options is determined by
dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the issuance or granting of such Below Market Options, plus
the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options, plus, in the case of
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options,
the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities
first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below
Market Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if
applicable). No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the
actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Below Market
Options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Below Market Options.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities.
(A) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where
the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange (as
determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(B) if applicable) is less than the
Market Price on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible
Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the
Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence,
the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise,
conversion or exchange is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any,
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale
of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first
become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the
Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuances of such Common Stock upon
exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(B) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities with a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or
exchange ratio (a "Variable Rate Convertible Security"), then the price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or
exchange for purposes of the calculation contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii)(A)
shall be deemed to be the lowest price per share which would be applicable
assuming that (1) all holding period and other conditions to any discounts
contained in such Convertible Security have been satisfied, and (2) the Market
Price on the date of issuance of such Convertible Security was 80% of the Market
Price on such date (the "Assumed Variable Market Price").
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Except for the
grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or
exercised under any employee or Director benefit plan of the Company now
existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such
stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the
Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of
non-employee directors established for such purpose, if there is a change at any
time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon
the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange or any
Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by
reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Exercise Price
which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible
Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration
or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold.
(iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible
Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of any Options or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such
option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall
have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted
to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
expiration or termination had such Options or Convertible Securities, to the
extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other
than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount
received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions,
underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or
incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case
any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair market
value of such consideration except where such consideration consists of
freely-tradeable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received
by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In
case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in
connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the
surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be
the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the
non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair market value of any
consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in the good faith
reasonable business judgment of the Board of Directors.
(vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to
the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options
or convertible securities issued and outstanding on the date hereof in
accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii) upon the
grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or
exercised under any employee or Director benefit plan of the Company now
existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such
stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the
Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of
non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the
Company (the "Preferred Stock") or Warrants in accordance with terms of the
Securities Purchase Agreement; or (iv) upon the exercise of the Warrants or
conversion of the Preferred Stock.
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any
time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, subdivides (by any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise)
its shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then, after the date
of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the
Company, at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, combines (by
reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(e) Major Transactions. If the Company shall consolidate with or merge
into any corporation or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock (other
than by way of subdivision or reduction of such shares) (each a "Major
Transaction"), then each holder of a Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
receive consideration, in exchange for such Warrant, equal to the greater of, as
determined in the sole discretion of such holder: (i) a warrant to purchase (at
the same aggregate exercise price and on the same terms and conditions as the
Warrant surrendered) the number of shares of stock or securities or property of
the Company, or of the entity resulting from such consolidation or merger (the
"Major Transaction Consideration"), to which a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock delivered upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled
upon such Major Transaction had the holder of such Warrant exercised (without
regard to any limitations on exercise herein contained) the Warrant on the
trading date immediately preceding the public announcement of the transaction
resulting in such Major Transaction and had such Common Stock been issued and
outstanding and had such holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock
at the time of such Major Transaction, and the Company shall make lawful
provision therefor as a part of such consolidation, merger or reclassification;
and (ii) cash paid by the Company in immediately available funds, in an amount
equal to the Black-Scholes Amount (as defined herein) times the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable (without regard to any
limitations on exercise herein contained) on the date immediately preceding the
date of such Major Transaction. No sooner than ten (10) days nor later than five
(5) days prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction, but not prior to
the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Company shall deliver
written notice ("Notice of Major Transaction") to each holder of Warrants, which
Notice of Major Transaction shall be deemed to have been delivered one (1)
business day following the Company's sending such notice by telecopy (provided
that the Company sends a confirming copy of such notice on the same day by
overnight courier) of such Notice of Major Transaction. Such Notice of Major
Transaction shall indicate the amount and type of the Major Transaction
Consideration which such holder would receive under clause (i) of this paragraph
(e). If the Major Transaction Consideration does not consist entirely of United
States currency, such holder may elect to receive United States currency in an
amount equal to the value of the Major Transaction Consideration in lieu of the
Major Transaction Consideration by delivering notice of such election to the
Company within five (5) days of the holder's receipt of the Notice of Major
Transaction.
The "Black-Scholes Amount" shall be an amount determined by calculating
the "Black-Scholes" value of an option to purchase one share of Common Stock on
the applicable page on the Bloomberg online page, using the following variable
values: (i) the current market price of the Common Stock equal to the closing
trade price on the last trading day before the date of the Notice of the Major
Transaction; (ii) volatility of the Common Stock equal to the volatility of the
common Stock during the 100 trading day period preceding the date of the Notice
of the Major Transaction; (iii) a risk free rate equal to the interest rate on
the United States treasury bill or treasury note with a maturity corresponding
to the remaining term of this Warrant on the date of the Notice of the Major
Transaction; and (iv) an exercise price equal to the Exercise Price on the date
of the Notice of the Major Transaction. In the event such calculation function
is no longer available utilizing the Bloomberg online page, the Holder shall
calculate such amount in its sole discretion using the closest available
alternative mechanism and variable values to those available utilizing the
Bloomberg online page for such calculation function.
(f) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make
any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of
Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or
otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company's shareholders
of cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a
subsidiary) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the initial issuance of this
Warrant, then the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the
purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive
the amount of such assets (or rights) which would have been payable to the
Holder had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.
(g) Notices of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which
requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease in
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon exercise, setting
forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which
such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief
financial officer of the Company.
(h) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect

together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such
Exercise Price.
(i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share of Common
Stock; provided that in the event that sufficient funds are not legally
available for the payment of such cash adjustment any fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
(j) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock

with or into, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation or entity; or
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Holder (a) notice of the
date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken
for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such
dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the holders of
Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of
the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the
Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date
on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend,
distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock
or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least 30 days
prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's books are closed in
respect thereto, but in no event earlier than public announcement of such
proposed transaction or event. Failure to give any such notice or any defect
therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses
(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether
the Warrants shall be exercisable (vis-a-vis other securities owned by Holder)
and of which Warrants shall be exercisable (as among Warrants) shall be in the
sole discretion of the Holder and submission of the Warrants for exercise shall
be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether such Warrants are
exercisable (vis-a-vis other securities owned by Holder) and of which warrants
are exercisable (among Warrants), in each case subject to such aggregate
percentage limitation. No prior inability to exercise Warrants pursuant to this
paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this
paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For
the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and
calculations, including without limitation, with respect to calculations of
percentage ownership, shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of

a manner otherwise than strictly in conformity with the foregoing provisions of
this paragraph (i) with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company
and the Holders: (i) with respect to any matter to cure any ambiguity herein, to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Applicable Percentage beneficial ownership
limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or
desirable to properly give effect to such Applicable Percentage limitation; and
(ii) with respect to any other matter, with the further consent of the holders
of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, the
provisions of this paragraph (i) may be waived by Xxxxxx upon ninety (90) days
prior written notice from Holder to the Company. The limitations contained in
this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Warrants if, and to the
extent, elected by such successor holder concurrently with its acquisition of
such Warrants, such election to be promptly confirmed in writing to the Company
(provided no transfer or series of transfer to a successor holder or holders
shall be used by a Holder to evade the limitations contained in this paragraph).
(ii) Prior to Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement), unless otherwise permitted by the Nasdaq National Market
System, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of the Warrants, when taken together with Common Stock to be issued
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, exceed the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that the Company can without stockholder approval issue pursuant to
