writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which

1.5 Lockup. Notwithstanding whether or not the securities issuable

restriction, the Holder hereby agrees that, until the occurrence of the
Compliance Event or a Non-Compliance Event (each as defined in the Note), it
shall not directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell
(including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or
otherwise transfer or dispose of the Warrants or any securities of the Borrower
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants during such period. In order to enforce
the foregoing covenant, the Borrower may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to the Warrants and the securities issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants until the end of such period.

Non-Compliance Event.
2. Procedure for Exercise.
2.1 Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise. The Company
agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder 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 in accordance herewith. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
3
event within three (3) business 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, or as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in
compliance with applicable securities laws, 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, 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.
2.2 Exercise. Payment may be made either (i) in cash or by certified
or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the
applicable aggregate Exercise Price, (ii) by delivery of the Warrant, or shares
of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Warrant in
accordance with Section (b) below, or (iii) by a combination of any of the
foregoing methods, for the number of Common Shares specified in such Exercise
Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms
of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the
number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value
of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of
calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash,
the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below)
of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly
endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a
number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
-----
A
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the
date of such calculation)
A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common
Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.
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
4
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 4.
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, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common
Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the
stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable)
receivable by the Holder of the Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the
Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by
the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the
Holder of the Warrant (the "Trustee").
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 4. In the
event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company's
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the
Holders of the Warrant will be delivered to Holder or the Trustee as
contemplated by Section 3.2.
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 Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise 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 after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The
Exercise 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
5
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 Exercise Price that
would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b)
the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
5. 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 Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee 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 Exercise 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 11 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable
securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be
transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") in whole or in
part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor's
endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Transferor
Endorsement Form") and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall
include, without limitation, a legal opinion from the Transferor's counsel that
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable
securities laws, the Company at its expense but with payment by the Transferor
of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of
the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the
Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement
Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces
of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
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.
6
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 Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and
Purchaser dated as of even date of this Warrant.
10. Maximum Exercise. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this
Warrant on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of Common
Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date,
and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made on
an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and
its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company on such date. For the purposes of the proviso to the immediately
preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation
13d-3 thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restriction described in
this paragraph may be revoked upon 75 days prior notice from the Holder to the
Company and is automatically null and void upon an Event of Default under the
Note.
11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder
of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or
Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1,
exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant
pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such
issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such
office by such agent.
12. Transfer on the Company's Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on
the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as
the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.
13. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to
the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to
the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the
Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder of this
Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.
14. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. Upon the occurrence of the
Compliance Event, the Company may thereafter, at any time during the term of
this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any
period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company. In
the event of the Non-Compliance Event, this paragraph shall no force or effect.
15. No Shorting. The Purchaser or any of its affiliates and investment
partners will not and will not cause any person or entity, directly or
indirectly, to engage in "short sales" of the Company's Common Stock or any
other hedging strategies.
16. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the
party against which
7
enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State
of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action
brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be
brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state of New York; provided, however, that the Holder may choose to waive
this provision and bring an action outside the state of New York. The
individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to
the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees
and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or
unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision
shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such
provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant.
The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not
limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision. The Company acknowledges that legal
counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore,
stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this
Warrant to favor any party against the other party.
