this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form
attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is
exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.3, Holder shall also
deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares
being purchased.
1.3. Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in
----------------
Section 1.2, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in
part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair
market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair
market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be
determined pursuant to Section 1.5.

market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the last sale price or bid

Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded, the
Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its
reasonable good faith judgment.
1.6. Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder
---------------------------------------
exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully
exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the
Shares not so acquired.
1.7. Lost or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen,
-------------------------
destroyed, or mutilated, the Company shall at the request of Holder and upon the
surrender of any remains of this Warrant execute and deliver to Holder a
replacement warrant in form identical to this Warrant. The replacement warrant
shall be an obligation of the Company enforceable by the Holder regardless of
whether the lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated warrant is enforceable by
anyone. This Warrant is not a negotiable instrument and is transferable only in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3.
1.8. Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.
-----------------------------------------------------------
1.8.1. "Acquisition". For the purpose of this Warrant, "Acquisition"
-----------
means any sale, or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where
the Company is not the surviving corporation and the securities issued with

transaction represent less than 50% of the beneficial ownership of the new
entity immediately after the transaction.
1.8.2. Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition

Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the
Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted
accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving
corporation to assume the obligations of this Warrant.
1.8.3. Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the
-------------
successor entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant and Holder has
not otherwise exercised this Warrant in full, then the unexercised portion of
this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically converted pursuant to
Section 1.3. The Board of Directors of the Company shall then reasonably and in
good faith calculate the pro rata amount of cash, property, and securities the
Holder would be entitled to receive if Holder had exercised the unexercised
portion of this Warrant in full for cash immediately before the record date for
determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the Acquisition (the
"Gross Proceeds"). The Company shall then distribute to Holder the amount of
such cash, property, and securities, in the same proportion as

distributed to the other shareholders of the Company, equal in value to the
Gross Proceeds less the aggregate Warrant Price of the unexercised portion of
this Warrant, but not less than zero.

number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share,

amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value
of a full Share.

------------------------
determine to register under the Securities Act, (including pursuant to a demand
of any stockholder of the Company exercising registration rights) any of its
Common Stock, other than on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or the then equivalents of such
Forms, except with respect to shares to be issued solely

in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business, shares issuable
solely upon the exercise of stock options, or shares issuable solely pursuant to

written notice of such determination and, if within twenty (20) days after
receipt of such notice, each such holder shall so request in writing, the

involving an underwriting of Common Stock to be issued by the Company, the
managing underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of such
Common Stock which may be included in any such registration statement because,
in its judgment, such limitation is necessary to effect an orderly public
distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such
registration statement only such limited portion, if any, of the Registrable
Shares with respect to which such holders have requested inclusion hereunder
after the Company shall have included in such registration the number of shares
of Common Stock requested to be included by other Common Stockholders who have
been granted registration rights prior to the date of this Agreement.

-------------

claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary
prospectus, or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as
from time to time amended or supplemented by the Company), or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company and

settlement of any such action effected without the Company's consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably delayed. The Company shall not, except with

Shares so registered will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each
underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or
dealer through whom such of the shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint
or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities
Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as
hereinafter provided, will reimburse the Company and each such director,
officer, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them or any of them in connection with investigating or
defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or
C-4
amended preliminary prospectus, or in the prospectus (or the registration
statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented), or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as any such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such holder of Registrable
Share expressly for use therein; provided, however, that such holder's
-------- -------
obligations hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to

respect of which indemnity may be sought against such holder of Registrable
Shares, the Company will notify such holder of Registrable Shares in writing of
the commencement thereof, and such holder of the Registrable Shares shall,
subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, assume the defense of such action
(including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel satisfactory to the
Company) and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to the
alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such
holder of Registrable Shares.
The Company and each such director, officer, underwriter or controlling
person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to
participate in the defense thereof, if the Company or any such director,
officer, underwriter or controlling person believes that his or its interests
are adverse to those of such holder of Registrable Shares. The fees and
expenses of one such counsel shall be paid by such holder of Registrable Shares.
Such holder of Registrable Shares shall not be liable to indemnify any person
for any settlement of any such action effected without such holder's consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed.

-------------------------
timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such information as the
Commission may require under either of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act; the Company shall use its best efforts to take all action as may
be required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 under the Securities

forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its
compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most
