1.3. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not
for a fractional share) by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at
the place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the

the order of the holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of

Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.

that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as
of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within 10 days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the holder hereof, or as such holder (upon payment by such
holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or
certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such holder
shall be entitled on such exercise,
-3-
plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be
entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value
of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) to which such holder is entitled
upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
3.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time
or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any
plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in
each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction,
proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the
holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or
merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall
receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such
exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and
other securities and property (including cash) to which such holder would
have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such
dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this
Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment
thereafter as provided in Section 5.
3.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company
following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or
assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense
deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the holders of
the Warrants, if exercised, after the effective date of such dissolution
pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company having its principal
office in New York, NY, as trustee for the holder or holders of the
Warrants.
3.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation,
merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to
in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and
the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may
be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other
securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person
acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the
Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms
of this Warrant as provided in Section 5.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the
Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
-4-
after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase
Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in
the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described
herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder
of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section
1, be entitled to receive shall be increased to a number determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for
the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of
which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the
provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the
Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
5. Chief Financial Officer's Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of
any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense
will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer to compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial
Statements. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for
issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the
Warrant. This Warrant entitles the holder hereof to receive copies of all
financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the
holders of the Company's Common Stock.

Securities laws, and delivery of such representations and warranties as shall
reasonably be requested by the Company, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced
hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") with
respect to any or all of the Shares. On the surrender for exchange of this
Warrant, with the Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached

expense but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes)

to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. Registration Rights. The holder of this Warrant has been granted certain
registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a
Subscription Agreement entered into by the initial holder of this Warrant and
the Company in connection with the purchase of the Unit of which this Warrant is
