Underlying Warrant, as the case may be, of like tenor and exercisable for the
balance of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant or the Underlying Warrant,
as the case may be, may then be exercised.
(e) This Warrant and the Underlying Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its
surrender for exercise
-2-
as provided above, and the Holder entitled to receive Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such
shares as of the close of business on such date.

directors or upon any other matter submitted to stockholders of the Corporation
at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action,
or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription

5. Transfer of Warrants.
(a) Restriction on Transferability of Warrants. Neither this Warrant
nor the Underlying Warrant nor any rights of the Holder hereof or thereof may be
transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, except with the prior written
consent of the Corporation.
(b) Exchange of Warrants Upon Transfer. If this Warrant or the

or thereof, it shall be surrendered by the Holder at the office of the
Corporation and accompanied by an assignment in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the Holder or the Holder's
duly authorized attorney or representative. On surrender of this Warrant or the
Underlying Warrant for transfer, the Corporation shall issue a new warrant to
the Holder's transferee (if transferred in whole), or to the Holder and Holder's
transferee, as appropriate (if transferred in part), for the number of shares
then issuable upon exercise hereof or thereof.
(c) Warrant Register. The Corporation will maintain a register (the
"Warrant Register") containing the names and addresses of the Holder and the
holders of other warrants issued by the Corporation. The Holder of this Warrant
or the Underlying Warrant, as the case may be, may change its address shown on
the Warrant Register by written notice to the Corporation requesting such
change. Until this Warrant or the Underlying Warrant, as the case may be, is
transferred on the Warrant Register of the Corporation, the Corporation shall be
entitled to treat the registered holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the
owner of this Warrant or the Underlying Warrant, as the case may
-3-
be, for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
Warrant or Underlying Warrant, as the case may be, on the part of any other
person.
6. Reservation of Stock. The Corporation covenants that until the
expiration of this Warrant and the Underlying Warrant, the Corporation will keep
reserved from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant and/or the Underlying Warrant, as such number may vary from time to
time. The Corporation further covenants that all shares that may be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant and the Underlying Warrant, upon payment of the
Exercise Price or Underlying Warrant Exercise Price, as the case may be, in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, will be duly authorized, validly
issued, and fully paid and nonassessable.
7. Exercise Prices. (a) The Exercise Price for each Warrant Share
purchasable pursuant to this Warrant (the "Primary Warrant Exercise Price")
shall be ten dollars ($10.00) per Warrant Share purchased. The Primary Warrant
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided (such price, or the price as last adjusted, also being referred to
herein as the "Primary Warrant Exercise Price"). Upon each adjustment (other
than the adjustment described in Section 8(a) hereof) of the Primary Warrant
Exercise Price, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the
Primary Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of
Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Primary Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable
upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing
the product thereof by the Primary Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment.
(b) The Exercise Price for each Warrant Share purchasable pursuant to
the Underlying Warrant (the "Underlying Warrant Exercise Price") shall be nine
dollars ($9.00) per Warrant Share purchased. The Underlying Warrant Exercise
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided
(such price, or the price as last adjusted, also being referred to herein as the
"Underlying Warrant Exercise Price"). Upon each adjustment of the Underlying
Warrant Exercise Price, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at
the Underlying Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number
of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Underlying Warrant Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Underlying Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Underlying Warrant Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment.
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Corporation
shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares by way of a stock split, stock dividend or similar
event, the Primary Warrant and Underlying Warrant Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and
conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock
-4-
shall be combined into a smaller number of shares by way of a reverse stock
split or similar event, the Primary Warrant and Underlying Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
increased.
(d) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation. Merizer or Sale.
If any capital reorganization or eclassification of the capital stock of the
Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another entity,
or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another
entity shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange
for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made
whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon
the basis and the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and the
Underlying Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented hereby, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued
or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common
Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of
the rights represented hereby and thereby had such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place and in any such
case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and
interests of the Holder of this Warrant and the Underlying Warrant to the end
that the provisions hereof and thereof (including, without limitation,
provisions for adjustments of the Primary Warrant and Underlying Warrant
Exercise Prices and of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable and
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Underlying Warrant) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of
stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof and
thereof. The Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale
unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other
than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the
corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument, executed
and mailed or delivered to the Holder at the last address thereof appearing on
the books of the Corporation, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such
shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.
(e) No Adjustment for First Business Combination. No adjustment of
the Primary Warrant or Underlying Warrant Exercise Price shall be made as a
result of or in connection with (i) the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to options, warrants, stock purchase agreements and convertible
or exchangeable securities outstanding or in effect on the date hereof or
granted upon the consummation of and in connection with the first Business
Combination, or (ii) the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock if the
amount of said adjustment shall be less than $.10, provided, however, that in
such case, any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall
be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next
subsequent adjustment that shall amount, together with any adjustment so carried
forward, to at least $.10.
-5-
(f) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Primary Warrant
or Underlying Warrant Exercise Price and/or number of Warrant Shares, then and
in each such case the Corporation shall give written notice thereof, by first
class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address thereof as
shown on the books of the Corporation. The notice shall state the Primary
Warrant or Underlying Warrant Exercise Price and/or number of Warrant Shares
resulting from such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
(g) No Change of Warrant. The form of this Warrant and the Underlying
Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in number and kind of
Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder pursuant to this Section 7. Any Warrant or
Underlying Warrant issued after any such adjustment upon any partial exercise or
upon replacement or transfer may continue to express the same terms as are
stated in this Warrant or the Underlying Warrant as initially issued, and the
number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder and thereunder shall be
considered to have been so changed as of the close of business on the date or
dates of adjustment.
8. Redemption.
(a) Commencing on the date that the Corporation consummates a
Business Combination (the "Initial Redemption Date"), the Corporation may on 30
days prior written notice, redeem the Underlying Warrant, provided that the last
sale of Common Stock, if the Common Stock is listed for trading on an exchange
or inter-dealer quotation system which provides last sale prices, or, the
average of the closing bid and asked quotes, if the Common Stock is listed for
trading on an inter-dealer quotation system which does not provide last sale
prices, on all 10 of the trading days ending on the day immediately prior to the
day on which the Corporation gives notice of redemption, has been $11.00 or
higher. In the event that, on the date set for redemption of the Underlying
Warrants (the "Redemption Date"), (i) this Warrant has been exercised and such
Warrant Holder is the Registered Holder of the Underlying Warrant, then the
Underlying Warrant shall be redeemed by the Corporation for $.05 per Underlying
Warrant or (ii) this Warrant has not been exercised, then the exercise price of
this Warrant shall be reduced by $.05 (the amount the Corporation would pay to
redeem the Underlying Warrant) and the Primary Warrant Exercise Price shall be
$9.95 per Warrant during the Exercise Period (subject to further adjustment as
provided in section 7 hereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the last sentence of Section 7(a) hereof shall not apply to the adjustment
described in the preceding sentence (i.e., after the adjustment described in the
preceding sentence is made, this Warrant will entitle the holder hereof upon
exercise to receive the same number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment).
(b) In case the Corporation shall exercise its right to redeem the
Underlying Warrant, it shall give or cause to be given notice (i) to the
Registered Holder of the Underlying Warrant, if this Warrant has been exercised
as of the Initial Redemption Date, or (ii) to the Registered Holder of this
Warrant, if this Warrant has not been exercised as of the Initial Redemption
Date, by mailing to such Registered Holder a notice of
-6-
redemption, first class, postage prepaid, at such holder's last address as shall
appear on the records of the Warrant Register. Any notice mailed in the manner
provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether
or not the Registered Holder receives such notice.
(c) The notice of redemption shall specify (i) the redemption price,
(ii) the date fixed for redemption, which shall in no event be less that 30 days
after the date of mailing of such notice, (iii)(A) the place where the Warrant
Certificate shall be delivered and the redemption price shall be paid (in the
event this Warrant has been exercised prior to the Redemption Date and the
Holder is the Registered Holder of the Underlying Warrant as of the Redemption
Date), or (B) that, after the Redemption Date, this Warrant shall entitle the
holder upon exercise only to Warrant Share(s) and not to any Underlying
Warrant(s) (in the event this Warrant has not been exercised prior to the
Redemption Date) and (iv) that the right to exercise the Underlying Warrant
shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the business day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings
for such redemption except as to a holder (a) to whom notice was not mailed or
(b) whose notice was defective. An affidavit of the Warrant Register or the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation that notice of redemption
has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the
facts stated therein.
(d) Any right to exercise the Underlying Warrant shall terminate at
5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the
Redemption Date. The redemption price payable to the Registered Holder of the
Underlying Warrant shall be mailed to such person at such person's address of
record in the Warrant Register.
9. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Warrant to be executed
by its duly authorized officer on the date first above written.

the registered holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the owner of this
Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and shall

adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment.
(a) Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Corporation
shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares by way of stock split, stock dividend or similar event,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares by way of reverse
stock split or similar event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to

(b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of
the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another
entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to
another entity shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions
shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and
receive upon the basis and the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant
and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable
and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares
of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in
exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby
had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not
taken place and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with
respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end
that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for
adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter
be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock,
securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The
Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior
to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the
Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the
corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument, executed
and mailed or delivered to the Holder at the last address thereof appearing on
the books of the Corporation, the obligation to deliver to such holder such
shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing

issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to options, warrants, stock
purchase agreements and convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding or in
effect on the date hereof or granted upon the consummation of and in connection
with the first Business Combination, or (ii) the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock if the amount of said adjustment shall be less than $.10, provided,
however, that in such case, any adjustment that would otherwise be required then
to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and
together with the next subsequent adjustment that shall amount, together with
any adjustment so carried forward, to at least $.10.
(d) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise
Price and/or number of Warrant Shares, then and in each such case the
Corporation shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address thereof as shown on the books of
the Corporation. The notice shall state the Exercise Price and/or number of
Warrant Shares resulting from such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is
based.
(e) No Change of Warrant. The form of this Warrant need not be
changed because of any adjustment in number and kind of Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder pursuant to this Section 7. Any Warrant issued after any
such adjustment upon any partial exercise or upon replacement or transfer may
continue to express the same terms as are stated in this Warrant as initially
issued, and the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be
considered to have been so changed as to the close of business on the date or
dates of adjustment.

(New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.
No failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall affect the validity of the proceedings for such redemption except as to a
