Statement”) for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (“Act”), of, among other securities, the Unit Warrants and the

WHEREAS, in connection with the Public Offering, the
Company has agreed to issue and deliver 4,357,143 Warrants (the “Founder

Founder Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Founder Warrant Purchase Agreement”),
dated as of [                 ],
2007, between the Company and Shermen WSC Holding LLC; and


WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act
on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in
connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form
and provisions of the Founder Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be
issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and
immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the Founder
Warrants; and


WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and
performed which are necessary to make the Founder Warrants, when executed on
behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent,
as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company,
and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:


1.             Appointment
of Warrant Agent.  The Company hereby
appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Founder
Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such 


 

















 


appointment and agrees to perform the same in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.


2.             Founder Warrants.


2.1.          Form of Founder Warrant.  Each Founder Warrant shall be issued in
registered form only, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto (the “Warrant Certificate”), the provisions of which are
incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of,
the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating
Officer or President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company and
shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal. 
In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon
any Warrant Certificate shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which
such person signed the Warrant Certificate before such Warrant Certificate is
issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to
be such at the date of issuance.


2.2.          Effect of Countersignature.  The Warrant Certificates will be executed on
behalf of the Company as provided above and delivered to the Warrant
Agent.  The Warrant Certificates will
then be countersigned by the Warrant Agent. 
Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this
Agreement, a Warrant Certificate shall be invalid and of no effect and may not
be exercised by the holder thereof.


2.3.          Registration.


2.3.1.       Founder Warrant Register.  The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Founder
Warrant Register”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration
of transfer of the Founder Warrants. 
Upon the initial issuance of the Founder Warrants, the Warrant Agent
shall issue and register the Founder Warrants in the names of the respective
holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions
delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company.


2.3.2.       Registered Holder.  Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Warrant Certificate, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem
and treat the person in whose name such Warrant Certificate shall be registered
upon the Founder Warrant Register (“registered holder”), as the absolute
owner of such Warrant Certificate and of each Founder Warrant represented
thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant
Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for
the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither
the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.


3.             Terms and Exercise of Founder Warrants.


3.1.          Warrant Price.  Each Warrant Certificate shall, when
countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the registered holder thereof,
subject to the provisions of such Warrant Certificate, this Agreement and of the
Founder Warrant Purchase Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of
shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $5.00 per whole share,
subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last
sentence of this Section 3.1.  The term “Warrant
Price” as used in this Agreement refers to the price per share at which
Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Founder Warrant is exercised.  


 


2

















 


The Company in its sole discretion may lower the
Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date so long as the Warrant
Price is not less than the “Warrant Price” under and as defined in the Unit
Warrant Agreement.


3.2.          Duration of Founder Warrants.  A Founder Warrant may be exercised only
during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the later of (a) the
consummation of an acquisition by the Company through a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business
combination, of an operating business (“Business Combination”) (as
described more fully in the Company’s Registration Statement) and (b) [one year from date of prospectus], 2008 and terminating at
5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier to occur of (x) [four years from date of prospectus], 2011 and (y) the date
fixed for redemption of the Founder Warrants as provided in Section 6 of this
Agreement (“Expiration Date”). 
Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as set
forth in Section 6 hereunder), each Founder Warrant not exercised on or before
the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights
in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on
the Expiration Date.  The Company in its
sole discretion may extend the duration of the Founder Warrants by delaying the
Expiration Date.


3.3.          Exercise of Founder Warrants.


3.3.1.       Payment.  Subject to the provisions of the Warrant Certificate,
this Agreement and the Founder Warrant Purchase Agreement, a Warrant Certificate,
when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised by the registered
holder thereof by surrendering it, at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at
the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City
and State of New York, with the subscription form, as set forth in the Warrant
Certificate, duly executed, and by paying in full, in lawful money of the
United States, in cash, good certified check or good bank draft payable to the
order of the Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company), the Warrant
Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which the Founder Warrant is
exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise
of the Founder Warrant, the exchange of the Founder Warrant for the Common
Stock, and the issuance of the Common Stock.


                In addition, if
the Company calls the outstanding Warrants and the Founder Warrants for
redemption as provided in Section 6 hereof, the holder of the Founder Warrants
may exercise the Founder Warrants on a cashless basis.  Any Shares issued on the exercise of the
Founder Warrants and transferred to the Company as payment of the Warrant Price
shall be valued according each such Shares’ Fair Market Value or, if the Shares
are then publicly traded in a Liquid Public Market, the average of the closing
prices for the thirty (30) consecutive trading days preceding the date of
exercise of the Founder Warrants.


                As used herein,
the term “Fair Market Value” shall mean, with respect to a share of
Common Stock on any date: (a) the fair market value of the outstanding Common
Stock based upon an arm’s length sale of the Company on such date as an
entirety, such sale being between a willing buyer and a willing seller and
determined without reference to any discount for minority interest,
restrictions on transfer, disparate voting rights among classes of capital stock
of the Company or lack of marketability with respect to capital stock of the
Company divided by (b) 


 


3

















 


the aggregate number of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(calculated on a fully diluted basis). 
The Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Company’s Board of
Directors in good faith within ten (10) days of any event for which such
determination is required and such determination (including the basis therefor)
shall be promptly provided to the holder of the Founder Warrants.  Such determination shall be binding on the
holder of the Founder Warrants unless the holder of the Founder Warrants objects
thereto in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt.  In the event the Company and the holder of
the Founder Warrants cannot agree on the Fair Market Value within ten (10) Business
Days of the date of the objection of the holder of the Founder Warrants, the
Fair Market Value shall be determined by a disinterested appraiser (which may
be a national or regional investment bank or national accounting firm) mutually
selected by the Company and the holder of the Founder Warrants, the fees and
expenses of which shall be paid by the Company unless such determination
results in a fair market value within ten percent (10%) of the fair market
value initially determined by the Company, in which case such fees and expenses
shall be borne by the holder of the Founder Warrants.  Any selection of a disinterested appraiser
shall be made in good faith within seven (7) Business Days after the end of the
last ten (10) Business Day period referred to above and any determination of
Fair Market Value by a disinterested appraiser shall be made within forty-five
(45) days of the date of selection.


                As used herein,
the term “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday or
Sunday and is not a United States federal holiday or a day on which banking
institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law or regulation to
close in New York City.


                As used herein,
the term “Liquid Public Market” shall mean that the shares of Common
Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, The American Stock Exchange,
The NASDAQ National Market System or the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, and
that trading of such shares has occurred on each of the prior thirty (30)
trading days, and that the average weekly trading volume of such shares is in
excess of one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of such Common Stock.


3.3.2.       Issuance of Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of any
Founder Warrant and the clearance of the funds or the acceptance of shares of
Common Stock in payment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall issue to the
registered holder of such Founder Warrant a certificate or certificates for the
number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled,
registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such
Founder Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned Warrant
Certificate for the number of shares as to which such Founder Warrant shall not
have been exercised.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities
pursuant to the exercise of a Founder Warrant unless a registration statement
under the Act with respect to the Common Stock is effective.  Founder Warrants may not be exercised by, or
securities issued to, any registered holder in any state in which such exercise
would be unlawful.


3.3.3.       Valid Issuance.  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the
proper exercise of a Founder Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


 


4

















 


3.3.4.       Date of Issuance.  Each person in whose name any such
certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be
deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which
the Founder Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the
date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of
the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder
of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which
the stock transfer books are open.


4.             Adjustments.


4.1.          Stock Dividends - Split-Ups.  If, after the date hereof, and subject to the
provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by
a split-up of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the
effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Founder Warrant shall be
increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.


4.2.          Aggregation of Shares.  If, after the date hereof, and subject to the
provisions of Section 4.6, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is
decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or
reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the
effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split,
reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on exercise of each Founder Warrant shall be decreased in proportion
to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.


4.3.          Adjustments in Exercise Price.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of the Founder Warrants is adjusted, as provided
in Section 4.1 or 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the
nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Founder Warrants immediately
prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.


4.4.          Replacement of Securities upon
Reorganization, etc.  In case of any
reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than a change covered by Section 4.1 or 4.2 hereof or that solely
affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of
the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with
which the Company is dissolved, the Founder Warrant holder shall thereafter
have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and
conditions specified in the Founder Warrants and in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of
shares of stock or other securities or 


 


5

















 


property (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a
dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Founder Warrant
holder would have received if such Founder Warrant holder had exercised his,
her or its Founder Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event; and if any
reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by
Section 4.1 or 4.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections
4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and this Section 4.4. 
The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other
transfers.


4.5.          Notices of Changes in Founder
Warrant.  Upon every adjustment of
the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Founder
Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent,
which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and
the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such
price upon the exercise of a Founder Warrant, setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is
based.  Upon the occurrence of any event
specified in Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, then, in any such event, the Company
shall give written notice to the Founder Warrant holder, at the last address
set forth for such holder in the Founder Warrant Register, of the record date
or the effective date of the event. 
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of such event.


4.6.          No Fractional Shares.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares
upon exercise of Founder Warrants.  If,
by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any
Founder Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Founder Warrant,
to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such
exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of the shares of
Common Stock to be issued to the Founder Warrant holder.


4.7.          Form of Founder Warrant.  The form of Warrant Certificate need not be
changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrant
Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and
the same number of shares as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially
issued pursuant to this Agreement. 
However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any
change in the form of Warrant Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate
and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter
issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding
Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.


5.             Transfer
and Exchange of Founder Warrants.


5.1.          Registration of Transfer.  The Warrant Agent shall register the
transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant Certificate upon the Founder
Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate for transfer,
properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by
appropriate instructions for transfer. 
Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant Certificate representing an equal
aggregate number of Founder Warrants shall be issued and the Warrant Certificate
shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. 
The Warrant 


 


6

















 


Certificates so cancelled shall be delivered by the
Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.


5.2.          Procedure for Surrender of Founder
Warrants.  Warrant Certificates may
be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for
exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange
therefor one or more new Warrant Certificates as requested by the registered
holder of the Warrant Certificates so surrendered, representing an equal
aggregate number of Founder Warrants; provided, however, that in the event that
a Warrant Certificate surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the
Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant Certificate and issue new Warrant
Certificates in exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received an
opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and
indicating whether the new Warrant Certificates must also bear a restrictive
legend.


5.3.          Fractional Founder Warrants.  The Warrant Agent shall not be required to
effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the
issuance of a Warrant Certificate for a fraction of a Founder Warrant.


5.4.          Service Charges.  No service charge shall be made for any
exchange or registration of transfer of Founder Warrants.


5.5.          Founder Warrant Execution and
Countersignature.  The Warrant Agent
is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Founder Warrants required to be issued pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever required by the
Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Founder Warrants duly
executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.


6.             Redemption.


6.1.          Redemption.  Subject to Section 6.4 hereof, not less than
all of the outstanding Founder Warrants and Warrants may be redeemed, at the
option of the Company, at any time after they become exercisable and prior to
their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon the notice referred
to in Section 6.2, at the price of $.01 per Founder Warrant or Warrant, as
applicable (“Redemption Price”), provided that the last sales price of
the Common Stock has been at least $8.50 per share, for any twenty (20) trading
days within a thirty (30) consecutive trading day period ending on the third
business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.


6.2.          Date Fixed for, and Notice of,
Redemption.  In the event the Company
shall elect to redeem all of the outstanding Founder Warrants and Warrants, the
Company shall fix a date for the redemption. 
Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage
prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to the registered holders of the Founder Warrants to be redeemed at
their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books.  Any notice mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not
the registered holder received such notice.


6.3.          Exercise After Notice of Redemption.  The Founder Warrants may be exercised in
accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement at any time after notice of
redemption shall have 


 


7

















 


been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2
hereof and prior to the time and date fixed for redemption.  On and after the redemption date, the record
holders of the Founder Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive,
upon surrender of the Founder Warrants, the Redemption Price.


6.4.          Outstanding Founder Warrants Only.  The Company understands that the redemption
rights provided for by this Section 6 apply only to outstanding Founder
Warrants.  To the extent a person holds
rights to purchase Founder Warrants, such purchase rights shall not be
extinguished by redemption.  However,
once such purchase rights are exercised, the Company may redeem the Founder
Warrants issued upon such exercise provided that the criteria for redemption
are met.


7.             Other
Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Founder Warrants.


7.1.          No Rights as Stockholder.  A Founder Warrant does not entitle the
registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other
distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to
receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or
the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.


7.2.          Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or
Destroyed Founder Warrants.  If any Warrant
Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the
Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in
their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant
Certificate, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant Certificate of
like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated,
or destroyed.  Any such new Warrant Certificate
shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or
not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall
be at any time enforceable by anyone.


7.3.          Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Founder
Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.


7.4.          Registration of Common Stock.  The Company agrees that prior to the
commencement of the Exercise Period, it shall file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, or
a new registration statement, for the registration, under the Act, of, and it
shall take such action as is necessary to qualify for sale, in those states in
which the Founder Warrants were initially offered by the Company, the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Founder Warrants.  In either case, the Company will use its best
efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness
of such registration statement until the expiration of the Founder Warrants in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.


8.             Concerning
the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.


8.1.          Payment of Taxes.  The Company will from time to time promptly
pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant
Agent in respect of the 


 


8

















 


issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of Founder Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay
any transfer taxes in respect of the Founder Warrants or such shares.


8.2.          Resignation, Consolidation, or
Merger of Warrant Agent.


8.2.1.       Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent.  The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it
hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further
duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in
writing to the Company.  If the office of
the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or
otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in
place of the Warrant Agent.  If the
Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it
has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant
Agent or by the holder of the Founder Warrant (who shall, with such notice,
submit his Founder Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of
any Founder Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for
the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the
Company’s cost.  Any successor Warrant
Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in
good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City
and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority.  After appointment, any
successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights,
immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like
effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further
act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the
predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the
Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the
authority, powers and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and
upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and
effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such
authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.


8.2.2.       Notice of Successor Warrant Agent.  In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall
be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant
Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective
date of any such appointment.


8.2.3.       Merger or Consolidation of Warrant
Agent.  Any corporation into which
the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any
corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant
Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this
Agreement without any further act.


8.3.          Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.


8.3.1.       Remuneration.  The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent
reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and
will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the
Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.


 


9

















 


8.3.2.       Further Assurances.  The Company agrees to perform, execute,
acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and
delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may
reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing
of the provisions of this Agreement.


8.4.          Liability of Warrant Agent.


8.4.1.       Reliance on Company Statement.  Whenever in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable
that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking
or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence
in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the President or
Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent.  The Warrant Agent may rely upon such
statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement.


8.4.2.       Indemnity.  The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder
only for its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.  The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant
Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including
judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by
the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement except as a result of the
Warrant Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.


8.4.3.       Exclusions.  The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility
with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity
or execution of any Founder Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor
shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or
condition contained in this Agreement or in any Founder Warrant; nor shall it
be responsible to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Section
4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment
or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such
adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any
