shares of Preferred Stock that would otherwise be delivered to the Warrantholder
upon such exercise, shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant with an aggregate Liquidation Amount equal in value to the aggregate
Exercise Price as to which this Warrant is so exercised.

     

    If the
Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the Warrantholder
will be entitled to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in
any event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially
identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference
between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Shares as
to which this Warrant is so exercised. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant
to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its
exercise of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the
Warrantholder will have first received any applicable Regulatory
Approvals.

     

    4.           Issuance of Shares;
Authorization. Certificates for Shares issued upon exercise of this
Warrant will be issued in such name or names as the Warrantholder may designate
and will be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time,
not to exceed three business days after the date on which this Warrant has been
duly exercised in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. The Company hereby
represents and warrants that any Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be duly and validly
authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder,
income and franchise taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of the
Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
therewith). The Company agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed to have
been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on
which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the
Company in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the
stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or certificates
representing such Shares may not be actually delivered on such date. The Company
will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued
preferred stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of this
Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock then issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant at any

Company will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued
without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of
any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded.

     

    5.           No Rights as Stockholders;
Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any
voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date
of exercise hereof. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against
transfer of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise
of this Warrant.

     

    6.           Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Shares to the Warrantholder upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder
for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by
the Company.

     

    7.           Transfer/Assignment.

     

    (A)            Subject
to compliance with clause (B) of this Section 7, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company
by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a
new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and
date as this Warrant but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon
surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the office or agency of the Company
described in Section 3. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other
charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of
the new warrants pursuant to this Section 7 shall be paid by the
Company.

     

    (B)            The
transfer of the Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant are
subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.4 of the Purchase Agreement.
If and for so long as required by the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant shall
contain the legends as set forth in Section 4.2(a) of the Purchase
Agreement.

     

    8.           Exchange and Registry of
Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the
Warrantholder to the Company, for a new warrant or warrants of like tenor and
representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares. The
Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the
Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be
surrendered for exchange or exercise in accordance with its terms, at the office
of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior
to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

     

    9.           Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of
a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the
case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the Company shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to
purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

    10.            Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action
or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a
business day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on
the next succeeding day that is a business day.

     

    11.            Rule 144 Information.
The Company covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to timely
file all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by
the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it
will, upon the request of any Warrantholder, make publicly available such
information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act), and it will use reasonable best efforts to take such further
action as any Warrantholder may reasonably request, in each case to the extent
required from time to time to enable such holder to, if permitted by the terms
of this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, sell this Warrant without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended
from time to time, or (B) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by
the SEC. Upon the written request of any Warrantholder, the Company will deliver
to such Warrantholder a written statement that it has complied with such
requirements.

     

    12.            Adjustments and Other
Rights. For so long as the Original Warrantholder holds this Warrant or
any portion thereof, if any event occurs that, in the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Company, would require adjustment of the Exercise
Price or number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable in order to
fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the Warrants in accordance
with the essential intent and principles of the Purchase Agreement and this
Warrant, then the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the
application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and
principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of the
Board of Directors, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.

     

    Whenever
the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 12, the Company shall
forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in
reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price
that shall be in effect and the number of Shares into which this Warrant shall
be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of
such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to each
Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.

     

    13.            No Impairment. The
Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
Warrantholder.

     

    14.            Governing Law. This
Warrant will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal law of
the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made
and

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions
contemplated hereby, and (b) that notice may be served upon the Company at the

Section 8 hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Company
and the Warrantholder hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any civil
legal action or proceeding relating to the Warrant or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.

     

    15.           Binding Effect. This
Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the
Company.

     

    16.           Amendments. This
Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be
