of the holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford

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
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


 


3

















 


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) or the number of shares of Common
Stock otherwise being surrendered in connection with the exercise of the
Warrant


 


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 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


 


4

















 


New York, NY as trustee for the
Holder of the Warrant.


 


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 or decreased to a number determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock that 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 (which shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Company in all respects) 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.


 


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 December
    , 2003.


 


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 or the
conversion of any other convertible securities entitling the Holder to acquire
shares of Common Stock, , 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


 


6

















 


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.  The Company may 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.


 


15.                                 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
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.
