         C. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Buyers set forth under the heading "Initial Buyers" on the Schedule of Buyers
(the "INITIAL BUYERS") wish to purchase at the Initial Closing an aggregate of

withheld), an affiliate thereof) (the "MANDATORY BUYERS") will be required under
this Agreement to buy, and the Company will be required under this Agreement to
sell to the Mandatory Buyers, at the Mandatory Closing, for a purchase price per
share of Mandatory Preferred Share and related Warrant equal to the Purchase

(other than the Follow-On Mandatory Buyers) are executing and delivering a
Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT C (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") pursuant to which the Company

(or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 6(a) and 7(a) below, the
Company shall issue and sell to each Initial Buyer, and each Initial Buyer
severally agrees to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price per share
equal to the Purchase Price, the respective number of Initial Preferred Shares
set forth opposite such Initial Buyer's name on the Schedule of Buyers (the
"INITIAL CLOSING"). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions
set forth in Sections 1(c), 6(b) and 7(b), each Mandatory Buyer shall purchase,
and the Company shall issue and sell to each Mandatory Buyer, for a purchase
price per share of Mandatory Preferred Share and related Warrant equal to the

$60,000,000, MINUS the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Oak Funds for
Initial Preferred Shares purchased by the Oak Funds at the Initial Closing,
(including, but not limited to, any Initial Preferred Shares purchased pursuant
to the Initial Closing True Up Amount) DIVIDED BY (ii) the Purchase Price. (The

in this Agreement as the "PREFERRED SHARES" and the Initial Conversion Shares,
the Mandatory Conversion Shares and the Warrant Common Shares collectively are
referred to in this Agreement as the "CONVERSION SHARES". "BUSINESS DAYS" means

                  b. THE INITIAL CLOSING DATE. The date and time of the Initial

<Page>

Business Days following the date hereof, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver)
of the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in Sections 6(a) and 7(a) (or
such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and Oak). With the
exception of Oak, the Initial Buyers may execute and deliver to the Company a
signature page to this Agreement and pay to the Company the aggregate Purchase
Price payable for the Initial Preferred Shares which such Initial Buyer has
agreed to purchase under and in accordance with this Agreement (those Initial
Buyers that so execute a signature page to this Agreement after the date hereof
in accordance herewith are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the
"FOLLOW-ON INITIAL BUYERS") at any time prior to June 7, 2002 (the "INITIAL
CLOSING DEADLINE DATE"); provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, if any such Follow-On Initial Buyer has not executed
and delivered to the Company a signature page to this Agreement, or paid the
aggregate Purchase Price payable thereby hereunder with respect to its
respective Initial Preferred Shares, on or prior to the Initial Closing Deadline
Date, such Follow-On Initial Buyer shall have no further right to purchase
Initial Preferred Shares under this Agreement; provided further, that,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Oak shall also pay
to the Company on the Initial Closing Deadline Date an amount equal to
$22,941,000.00, minus the aggregate Purchase Price received by the Company on or
prior to such Initial Closing Deadline Date from all Initial Buyers (including,
without limitation, Oak and the Follow-On Initial Buyers) (the "INITIAL CLOSING
TRUE UP AMOUNT"), and the Company shall issue and sell to Oak as of the Initial
Closing Date an aggregate number of Initial Preferred Shares equal to the
Initial Closing True Up Amount, DIVIDED BY the Purchase Price. The Initial
Closing shall occur on the Initial Closing Date at the offices of Katten Muchin
Zavis Rosenman, 525 West Monroe Street, Suite 1600, Chicago, Illinois
60661-3693. The parties hereto agree that for purposes of this Agreement, the
Transaction Documents and any other certificates, documents or agreements
entered into or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, with respect to the Follow-On Initial Buyers, the closing date for the
purchase of the Initial Preferred Shares purchased thereby hereunder shall be
deemed to be the Initial Closing Date.

                  c. THE MANDATORY CLOSING DATE. The date and time of the
Mandatory Closing (the "MANDATORY CLOSING DATE") shall be 10:00 a.m. Central
Time, within five (5) Business Days after the date of the stockholder meeting
referred to in Section 4(k) at which Stockholder Approval is obtained and
following the date of the receipt by each Buyer of the Mandatory Share Notice,
subject to satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to the Mandatory Closing
set forth in Sections 6(b) and 7(b) and the conditions set forth in this Section
1(c) (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and Oak). With
the exception of Oak, the Mandatory Buyers may execute and deliver to the
Company a signature page to this Agreement (those Mandatory Buyers that execute

hereof in accordance herewith are referred to in this Agreement collectively as
the "FOLLOW-ON MANDATORY BUYERS") at any time prior to June 7, 2002 (the
"MANDATORY CLOSING EXECUTION DATE"); provided, however, notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, if any such Follow-On Mandatory Buyer has not
executed and delivered to the Company a signature page to this Agreement by the
Mandatory Closing Execution Deadline, such Follow-On Mandatory Buyer shall have
no further right to purchase Mandatory Preferred Shares or Warrants under this
Agreement. The Company shall deliver written notice (the "MANDATORY SHARE
NOTICE") to each Buyer on a date (the "MANDATORY SHARE NOTICE DATE") as soon as
commercially reasonable after the Company has received the approval of the
Company's stockholders pursuant to Section 4(k), but in no event later than

                                       3
<Page>

July 31, 2002; provided that Oak may agree to an extension of such date by
providing written notice to the Company and the other Buyers of its decision to
extend such date, in which case Oak's right to terminate the parties'
obligations with respect to the Mandatory Closing under Section 8(l) of this
Agreement shall automatically be modified to a date seven (7) days after such
agreed upon extended date. The Mandatory Share Notice shall set forth (i) the
aggregate number of Mandatory Preferred Shares which such Mandatory Buyer is
required to purchase at such Mandatory Closing, (ii) the number of related
Warrant Preferred Shares subject to warrant which such Mandatory Buyer is
required to purchase at such Mandatory Closing, (iii) such Mandatory Buyer's
aggregate Purchase Price for the Mandatory Preferred Shares and the related
Warrants and (iv) the date of the Mandatory Closing Date, which shall in no
event be later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of the
stockholder meeting referred to in Section 4(k) at which the Stockholder
Approval is obtained (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company
and Oak). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to
deliver a Mandatory Share Notice unless, prior to the Mandatory Closing Date,
the Company has received the Stockholder Approval to issue the Conversion Shares
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap (as
defined in the Certificate of Designation).

                  d. FORM OF PAYMENT. On each of the Closing Dates, (i) each
Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to the Company for the Preferred Shares and,
in the case of the Mandatory Closing, the related Warrants to be issued and sold
to such Buyer at such Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
in accordance with the Company's written wire instructions, less any amount
withheld for expenses of Oak pursuant to Section 4(h), and (ii) the Company
shall deliver to each Buyer, stock certificates (in the denominations as such
Buyer shall request) (the "PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATES") representing such
number of the Preferred Shares which such Buyer is then purchasing hereunder
along with warrants representing the related Warrants, if applicable, duly
executed on behalf of the Company and registered in the name of such Buyer or
its designee.

         2.       BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                  Each Buyer represents and warrants with respect to only itself
that:

                  a. INVESTMENT PURPOSE. Such Buyer (i) is acquiring the
Preferred Shares and the Warrants, (ii) upon conversion of the Preferred Shares,
will acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable upon conversion thereof and
(iii) upon exercise of the Warrants, will acquire the Warrant Preferred Shares
issuable upon exercise thereof (the Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares and
the Warrants collectively are referred to herein as the "SECURITIES"), for its
own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the
public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities
for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the
Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

                  b. ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS. Such Buyer is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and a
"qualified institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule 144A promulgated
under the 1933 Act.

                                       4
<Page>

                  c. RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS. Such Buyer understands that the
Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in
order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of
such Buyer to acquire the Securities.

                  d. INFORMATION. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities
which have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any,
have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or
its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such
Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained
in Sections 3 and 8(m) below. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the
Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

                  e. NO GOVERNMENTAL REVIEW. Such Buyer understands that no
United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities
or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.

                  f. TRANSFER OR RESALE. Such Buyer understands that except as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been
and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws,
and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A)
subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel (or such other evidence reasonably acceptable to
the Company), in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities
to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Buyer provides the
Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended, (or
a successor rule thereto) ("RULE 144"); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in
reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144
and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under
circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made)
may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may
require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or
any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.

                  g. LEGENDS. Such Buyer understands that the certificates or
other instruments representing the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and, until
such time as the sale of the Conversion Shares have been registered under the
1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the stock
certificates representing the Conversion Shares, except

                                       5
<Page>

as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the
following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such
stock certificates):

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
         UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
         SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
         TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE
         REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
         1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) AN OPINION
         OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
         REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II)
         UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is
stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such
Securities are registered for resale under the 1933 Act, (ii) in connection with
a sale transaction, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel,
in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or
transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act,
or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the
Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the
number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold. Such Buyer acknowledges, covenants and agrees to sell the
Securities represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been
removed, only pursuant to (i) a registration statement effective under the 1933
Act or (ii) advice of counsel that such sale is exempt from the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the 1933 Act, including, without limitation, a
transaction pursuant to Rule 144.

                  h. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT; VALIDITY. This Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and are valid and binding
agreements of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with their
terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and
other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of
applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

                  i. RESIDENCY. Such Buyer is a resident of that jurisdiction
specified in its address on the Schedule of Buyers.

                                       6
<Page>

         3.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

                  The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that
except to the extent (i) disclosed with reasonable specificity on the schedules
to this Agreement, with respect to Sections 3(b), (e) and (o) and, (ii) with
respect to all other subsections in this Section 3, disclosed with reasonable
specificity on the schedules to this Agreement or the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 (the "2002 Filings") filed by the
Company (other than (x) those Sections of the 2002 Filings entitled or captioned
"Risk Factors" and (y) disclosures in those documents which are filed as
exhibits to, or incorporated by reference in, such 2002 Filings):

                  a. ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION. The Company and its
"SUBSIDIARIES" (which for purposes of this Agreement means any entity in which
the Company, directly or indirectly, owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the
outstanding voting securities) are corporations duly organized and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are
incorporated, and have the requisite corporate power and authorization to own
their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted. Each of
the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to
do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership
of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such
qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so
qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As
used in this Agreement, "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" means any material adverse
effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, prospects, results of
operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any,
taken as a whole, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents or the Certificate of Designations.
The Company has no Subsidiaries except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3(a).

                  b. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT; VALIDITY. The Company has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, the Warrants and each of the other
agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the "TRANSACTION
DOCUMENTS"), to execute and file the Certificate of Designations, and to issue
the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the execution and
filing of the Certificate of Designations by the Company and the consummation by
it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including without
limitation the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and the
reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares, have been duly authorized by the Company's
Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization is required by the
Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders (except such stockholder
approval as may be required by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. for the issuance of
a number of shares of Common Stock which is greater than or equal to 20% of the
number of shares outstanding on the date of this Agreement). The Transaction
Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The Transaction
Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their

                                       7
<Page>

terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies. The
Certificate of Designations has been filed prior to the Initial Closing Date
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and will be in full force
and effect, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms and
shall not have been amended unless in compliance with its terms.

                  c. CAPITALIZATION. As of the date hereof, the authorized
capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 2,650,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, of which as of May 24, 2002, 477,952,161 shares (before giving effect to

2002) are issued and outstanding, (ii) 100,000,000 shares of the Company's Class
C common stock, par value $0.001 per share, none of which are issued and

Stock, of which as of the date hereof 500,000 shares have been designated as
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "PARTICIPATING PREFERRED

Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. All of such outstanding or issuable
shares have been, or upon issuance will be, validly issued and are fully paid
and nonassessable. Except as set forth in those documents listed on SCHEDULE
3(c) and except for (y) the rights to purchase the Participating Preferred Stock
pursuant to the Rights Plan and (z) options to purchase 62,712,899 shares

contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of
capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or options, warrants,
scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exercisable for, any
shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (D) there are
no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries which contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are
no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to redeem a security of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (E) there are no securities or instruments
containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the
issuance of the Securities as described in this Agreement; and (F) the Company

Buyer true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the "CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION"), and the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended and
as in effect on the date hereof (the "BYLAWS"), and the terms of all securities

holders thereof in respect thereto. Except for the Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, the
Company does not have any certificate of designations in effect as of the date
hereof.

                  d. ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. The Preferred Shares are duly

Warrants, shall be (i) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) free
from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and (iii)
entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of
Designations. 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment pursuant

authorized and reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares.
Upon conversion in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, the
Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the
holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

SHARES. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Buyers is acting
solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Company

and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further
acknowledges that each Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary
of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction
Documents and the Certificate of Designations and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby and any advice given by any of the Buyers or any of their
respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the Certificate of Designations and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer's purchase of the
Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer that the Company's
decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the
independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

                  j. NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. Neither the Company, nor any of

affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of
the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause this offering of the Securities to be
integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or
any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation,
under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on
which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated, nor will
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would

Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks,
trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents,
patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental
authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights necessary
to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, except where the
failure to own or possess such rights would not result, either individually or
in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE
3(m)(i), the Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or
licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other
intellectual property rights necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
now, or as contemplated to be, conducted, except where the failure to own or
possess such rights would not result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no infringement by the Company or its
Subsidiaries of trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights of others, or of
any development of similar or identical trade secrets or technical information

other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct
their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and
conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where, in each of the

individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  o. TITLE. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business

Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes), (ii)
other than taxes that in an aggregate amount would not be material (and the
nonpayment of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect), has paid all

amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations,
except those being contested in good faith and for which the Company has made
appropriate reserves for on its books, and (iii) other than accruals for taxes
in an aggregate amount that would not be material (and the nonpayment of which

reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the
periods to which such returns, reports or declarations (referred to in clause

anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of
the state of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Buyers
as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities and the Buyers'
ownership of the Securities.

                  v. RIGHTS AGREEMENT. The Company has amended the Rights
Agreement between the Company and Computershare Investor Services, LLC, as
Rights Agent (the "Rights Plan"), to ensure that (i) none of the Buyers is

the Rights Plan because of the acquisition of the Securities (including the
Conversion Shares and the Warrant Preferred Shares) pursuant to this Agreement,
(ii) the acquisition of the Securities (including the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Preferred Shares) pursuant to this Agreement, shall not, under any
circumstances, trigger a Distribution Date within the meaning of the Rights Plan
and (iii) the Securities (including the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Preferred Shares) will not be included in determining whether any Buyer is an
Acquiring Person within the meaning of the Rights Plan; provided, however, that
only Securities (including the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares)
acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed excluded from the number of
shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by each Buyer in determining
whether such Buyer is an Acquiring Person within the meaning of the Rights Plan.

                  w. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. The Company has delivered to Oak true

Subsidiary's officers, directors, persons who were officers or directors at any
time during the previous two years, stockholders who beneficially own 5% or more
of the Common Stock, or affiliates of the Company or its Subsidiaries or with
any entity in which any such entity or individual owns a 5% or more beneficial
interest (each a "RELATED PARTY"), except for (a) customary employment
arrangements and benefit programs on reasonable terms, (b) any agreement,
transaction, commitment or arrangement on an arms-length basis on terms no less
favorable than terms which would have been obtainable from a person other than
such Related Party, (c) any agreement, transaction, commitment or arrangement

                  k. PROXY STATEMENT. The Company shall provide each stockholder
entitled to vote at the next meeting of stockholders of the Company, which the
Company shall cause to occur as soon as commercially reasonable after the
Initial Closing Date, but in any event on or before July 31, 2002 (the
"STOCKHOLDER MEETING DEADLINE"), a proxy statement, which has been previously
reviewed by Oak and a counsel of their choice (and with respect to which the
Company has used its best efforts to accept the comments of such Buyers and
counsel), soliciting each such stockholder's affirmative vote at such
stockholder meeting for approval of the Company's issuance of Conversion Shares
in excess of the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) in
accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Principal
Market (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the "STOCKHOLDER
APPROVAL"), and the Company shall solicit its stockholders' approval of such
issuance of the Securities. Such solicitation shall include the recommendation
of the Board of Directors in favor of Stockholder Approval, unless the Board of
Directors determines in good faith after consultation with counsel to the
Company that making such recommendation would be inconsistent with the Board of
Directors' fiduciary duties under applicable law, in which case, the Company
shall submit such matter to the Company's stockholders without such
recommendation. The Company shall promptly notify the Buyers of any comments by
the SEC on such proxy statement and shall provide the Buyers with a copy of such
comments. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with
satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(g) and reimburse the Buyers for

for trading on the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, The
American Stock Exchange, Inc. or The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. and (y) the
Company complies with Section 5 of the Certificate of Designations (if
applicable).

                  m. LOCK-UP AGREEMENT. Each of the Buyers, severally and not
jointly, hereby agrees that from the date hereof until the date which is one
year after the Initial Closing Date, such Buyer will not offer, sell, contract
to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the
Securities (collectively, the "RESTRICTED SECURITIES"), enter into a transaction
that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other
arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, whether any such
aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Restricted
Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or to enter into any such
transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior
written consent of the Company. The foregoing sentence (i) shall not apply (A)
to dispositions to the Company pursuant to the net exercise provisions of the
Warrant, (B) to transactions relating to the Restricted Securities acquired by
the such Buyer (I) prior to the execution of this Agreement or (II) in the open

members, Affiliates, partners, members, former partners or members or
shareholders of such Buyer in private transactions in which the transferee
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4(m) as if such transferee
were a Buyer and (ii) shall expire, for each Buyer, in its entirety (y)
immediately before the acquisition of the Company by another person or entity,
whether by merger, asset sale or otherwise and (z) immediately (I) upon the
breach by the Company of any material obligation to the Buyers in the
Transaction Documents or the Certificate of Designations, unless such breach is
capable of being and is cured within ten (10) Business Days of written notice to
the Company of such breach from the Buyers, (II) upon the failure to elect
either Oak nominee to the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with
Section 7(d) of the Certificate of Designations (if Oak has exercised its right
to elect such director), (III) upon Oak reasonably concluding that any
representation or warranty set forth in Section 3 was materially untrue when
made, and such breach has had or is reasonably likely to have a materially
adverse effect on the value of the Buyers' investment in the Company pursuant to
this Agreement, and Oak has notified the Company in writing of such conclusion
and (IV) upon a material breach by the Company of any of the protective
provisions of the Certificate of Designations, unless such breach is capable of
being and is cured within ten (10) Business Days of written notice to the
Company of such breach from the Buyers.

                  n. RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION.

                           (i) TRIGGERING EVENT. Each of the events listed on
         SCHEDULE 4(n) to this Agreement shall constitute a "TRIGGERING EVENT":
         Within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
         the Company will give notice to all Buyers of such occurrence (the
         "TRIGGER NOTICE").

                           (ii) REDEMPTION RIGHT. If any Buyer of Preferred
         Shares hereunder becomes aware of a Triggering Event, such Buyer may
         require the Company to redeem all or any of the Preferred Shares then
         held by such Buyer by delivering written notice to the Company within
         thirty (30) days after the date of the Trigger Notice (the "REDEMPTION
         NOTICE"), which Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of
         Preferred Shares that such Buyer is electing to redeem hereunder. Each
         Preferred Share subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this
         Section 4(n) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price per Preferred
         Share equal to the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the
         Certificate of Designations) of such Preferred Share as in effect on
         the date of the Redemption Notice (the "REDEMPTION PRICE"); provided
         that if a Buyer has delivered a Redemption Notice to the Company as a
         result of a Disposition Triggering Event (as defined on
         Schedule 4(n)(i)(C)), the Company shall only be required, in the
         aggregate, to redeem from all Buyers up to that number of Preferred
         Shares having an aggregate Redemption Price equal to 50% of the
         applicable Disposition Value. If such amount is insufficient to redeem
         all Preferred Shares subject to a Redemption Notice, the Company shall
         redeem shares pro rata from the Buyers that have given a Redemption
         Notice (the "REDEEMING BUYERS") based upon the aggregate number of
         outstanding Preferred Shares then held by each such Redeeming Buyer
         relative to the aggregate number of outstanding Preferred Shares then
         held by all Redeeming Buyers.

<Page>

                           (iii) MECHANICS. Each Redeeming Buyer shall promptly
         submit to the Company such Redeeming Buyer's Preferred Stock
         Certificates representing the Preferred Shares which such Redeeming
         Buyer has elected to have so redeemed (or a lost stock affidavit
         therefor reasonably acceptable to the Company). The Company shall
         deliver the applicable Redemption Price to a Redeeming Buyer from whom
         the Company has received a Redemption Notice within 45 days after the
         date of the Trigger Notice; provided that such Redeeming Buyer has
         delivered to the Company the Preferred Stock Certificates representing
         the Preferred Shares being redeemed (or a lost stock affidavit therefor
         reasonably acceptable to the Company). In the event of a redemption of
         less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a particular
         Preferred Stock Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be
         issued and delivered to the Redeeming Buyer holding such Preferred
         Shares a preferred stock certificate representing the remaining
         Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed.

                           (iv) REDEMPTION WHEN THERE IS MORE THAN ONE REDEEMING
         BUYER. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4(n) to the contrary,
         if the Company receives more than one Redemption Notice and the Company
         is unable to redeem all of the Preferred Shares submitted for
         redemption pursuant to the Redemption Notices, then the Company shall
         redeem a pro rata amount from each Redeeming Buyer based on the number
         of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by each such Redeeming
         Buyer and redeem from each such Redeeming Buyer from time to time a pro
         rata amount of the balance of the Preferred Shares so tendered for
         redemption as soon as the Company has funds legally available for such
         purpose. As long as any redemption obligation hereunder is continuing,
         the Company will not declare or pay any dividends, repurchase any
         shares of outstanding capital stock (except pursuant to Section 6(g) of
         the Certificate of Designations and except repurchases from employees,
         directors or consultants at cost pursuant to contracts approved by the
         Board of Directors) or make any other distribution with respect to its
         capital stock.

                  o. After the Initial Closing Date, and until such time as Oak
designates a nominee to the Board of Directors pursuant to the Certificate of
Designations, the Company will allow an Oak designee to attend all meetings of
the Board of Directors and to receive all materials distributed to members of
the Board of Directors in preparation for such meetings or at such meetings. The
Company will pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the Oak designee
associated with such attendance.

         5.       TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

                  The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its
transfer agent in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT E (the "IRREVOCABLE
TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS"), and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue
certificates, registered in the name of each Buyer or its

                                       19

respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified
from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares.

         immediately available funds pursuant to the wire instructions provided
         by the Company.

         such Buyer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material
         respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by the

                  b. MANDATORY CLOSING DATE. The obligation of the Company

each Mandatory Buyer at the Mandatory Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at
or before such Mandatory Closing Date, of each of the following conditions,
provided that these conditions are for the Company's sole benefit and may be

         matter set forth on the Disclosure Letter or set forth in the 2002
         Filings will not qualify as or otherwise constitute an exception for
         purposes of determining whether any representations and warranties of
         the Company are true and correct as of the Mandatory Closing Date) and
         the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all

         the Mandatory Closing Date of the representation contained in Section
         3(c) above. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
         the parties hereto hereby agree that neither the consummation nor the
         failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by either the Viant
         Merger Agreement or the Delano Merger Agreement shall be deemed to be
         (i) a material adverse change pursuant to Section 3(g) or (ii) a breach
         of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company
         pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

         (in such denominations as such Mandatory Buyer shall request) for the
         Mandatory Preferred Shares and the Warrants being purchased by such
         Mandatory Buyer at the Mandatory Closing.

         Buyers to that effect.

                           (vii) The Company shall have delivered to such
         Mandatory Buyer a certificate evidencing the incorporation and good
         standing of the Company in Delaware issued by the Secretary of State of

                           (x) The Company shall have delivered to such
         Mandatory Buyer a letter from the Company's transfer agent certifying

         thereof) under the HSR Act, if applicable, shall have expired or been

         Date, and such nominee(s) and the Company shall have entered into an
         indemnification agreement in form acceptable to Oak, effective as of
         the Mandatory Closing Date.

                           (xiii) The Company shall not have materially breached

         8.       GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.

                  a. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL. The corporate laws
of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights
of the Company and its stockholders. All other questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall
be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect
to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought
in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any

                                       25
<Page>

manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY
HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY
DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

                  b. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective, with respect to a particular party, when
counterparts have been signed by such party and delivered to the other party;
provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall
be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the
signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

                  c. HEADINGS. The headings of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the
interpretation of, this Agreement.

                  d. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

                  e. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement and the
instruments referenced herein supersedes all other prior oral or written
agreements between each Buyer, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting
on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein (including the term
sheet related hereto), and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters
covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or
therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. This Agreement may only be
amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of at
least two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Preferred Shares on the Initial Closing
Date or, if prior to the Initial Closing Date, the Buyers listed on the Schedule
of Buyers as being obligated to purchase at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
Initial Preferred Shares, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

                  f. NOTICES. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this
Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon
receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile

                  g. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and
assigns, including any purchasers of the Preferred Shares. The Company shall not
assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Preferred
Shares and the Conversion Shares then outstanding (on an as converted basis),
including by merger or consolidation, except pursuant to a Change of Control (as
defined in Section 5(c) of the Certificate of Designations) with respect to
which the Company is in compliance with Section 4(l) of this Agreement. No Buyer
shall assign any of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company.

                                       27
<Page>

                  h. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended
for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be
enforced by, any other person.

                  i. SURVIVAL. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section
8(l), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained
in Sections 2 and 3, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5
and 8 shall survive the Closings; provided, however, that the covenants of the
Company set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 8 shall terminate at such time as all of
the Preferred Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall have been converted
into Conversion Shares registered under a Registration Statement (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) (provided that such termination shall apply
only to events occurring after such date). Each Buyer shall be responsible only
for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

                  j. PUBLICITY. The Company and each Buyer shall have the right
to approve before issuance any press releases or any other public statements
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that
the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make
any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions
as is required by applicable law and regulations (although Oak shall be
consulted by the Company (and be given a reasonable opportunity to comment) in
connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its
release and shall be provided with a copy thereof).

                  k. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party shall do and perform, or
cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and
documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the
intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

                  l. TERMINATION. In the event that the Initial Closing shall
not have occurred with respect to a Buyer on or before ten (10) Business Days
from the date hereof due to the Company's or such Buyer's failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Sections 6(a) and 7(a) above (and the nonbreaching
party's failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching
party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to
any other party. Oak will have the option to terminate the obligations of all
parties with respect to the Mandatory Closing under Sections 1(a), 1(c), 6(b)
and 7(b) if the Mandatory Closing does not occur on or before August 7, 2002,
provided that such option shall not be available to Oak if Oak has materially
breached or otherwise not complied with its obligations under this Agreement and
such breach or failure to comply is the cause of the failure of the Mandatory
Closing to occur on or before such date.

                  m. PLACEMENT AGENT. The Company acknowledges that it has not
engaged a placement agent in connection with the sale of the Preferred Shares
and the related Warrants. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of
any placement agent's fees or broker's commissions relating to or arising out of
the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer
harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including,

                                       28
<Page>

without limitation, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in
connection with any such claim.

                  n. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement
will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

                  o. REMEDIES. Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities
shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and
the Certificate of Designations and all rights and remedies which such holders
have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of
the rights which such holders have under any law. Any person having any rights
under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights
specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by
reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all
other rights granted by law.

                  p. PAYMENT SET ASIDE. To the extent that the Company makes a
payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Certificate of Designations or Warrants or the Buyers
enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or
payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise
restored to the Company, by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any
law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

be exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company,
in whole or in part, at any time during the Company's normal business hours
(i.e., on or after the Company's opening of business but prior to the Company's

of Issuance and ending on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a written
notice, in the form of the subscription form attached as EXHIBIT A hereto (the

notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, (ii) (A)
payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (the "AGGREGATE EXERCISE PRICE") by wire transfer of immediately
available funds (or by certified or cashier's check if the Company has not
provided the holder of

                                        3
<Page>

this Warrant with wire transfer instructions for such payment) or (B) by
notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a
Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 2(d), and (iii) the surrender to a
common carrier for overnight delivery to the Company as soon as practicable
following such date, of this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking, in form
and substance acceptable to the Company, with respect to this Warrant in the
case of its loss, theft or destruction); provided, that if such Warrant Shares
are to be issued in any name other than that of the registered holder of this
Warrant, such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section
4(m) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Sections 6 and 7 of this Warrant
shall be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2(a), the Company shall as promptly
as practicable, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days (the "WARRANT
SHARE DELIVERY DATE") following the date of its receipt of the Exercise Notice,
the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of Cashless Exercise) and this Warrant
(or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of
its loss, theft or destruction) (the "EXERCISE DELIVERY DOCUMENTS") issue and
deliver to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate,
registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant
Shares to which the holder shall be entitled. Upon delivery of the Exercise
Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above or
notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise referred to in Section 2(d),
the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have
become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this
Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of this Warrant
as required by clause (iii) above or the certificates evidencing such Warrant
Shares.

            (b)   Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as
practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise
(the "WARRANT DELIVERY DATE") and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant
identical in all respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent
rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to
such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect
to which such Warrant is exercised.

            (c)   In the event that any exercise of this Warrant, whether as a
Cashless Exercise or otherwise, requires the Company to issue fractional Warrant
Shares hereunder, the Company shall issue such fractional Warrant Shares at the
same time and in the same manner as the Company issues whole Warrant Shares
hereunder.

            (d)   The holder of this Warrant may, at its election exercised in
its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of
making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon
such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to
receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of Warrant Shares determined
according to the following formula (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE"):

     Net Number = A - B

                    For purposes of the foregoing formula:

                    to which this Warrant is then being
                    exercised.

                    B=      A x ---------------------------
                                ((A x D) divided by E)) x F

                    C=the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect
                    for the applicable Warrant Shares at the
                    time of such exercise.

                    D=the Liquidation Preference then in effect
                    for the applicable Warrant Shares at the
                    time of said exercise.

                    E=the Adjusted Conversion Price then in
                    effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at
                    the time of said exercise.

                    time of said exercise.

            (e)   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
this Warrant shall be automatically exercised (and be deemed to have been
automatically exercised) (unless the holder gives notice to the Company to the
contrary, in the case of (ii) or (iii) below), on a Cashless Exercise basis,
without any action by or on the part of the holder hereof on the Business Day,
(i) on which a Mandatory Conversion Event occurs, immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Mandatory Conversion Event, (ii) of the Expiration Date and
(iii) immediately before a liquidation, dilution or winding up of the Company

Certificate of Designations.

and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

            (c)   The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation 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

tenor and purpose of this Warrant.

            (d)   This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the
Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets.

payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant.

     Section 5.   WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed to be the holder of shares of
capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in
this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock,
reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise),
receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or
otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant
Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this
Warrant.

     Section 6.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER. The holder of
this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, (i) represents and warrants that it is
acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant
or the Warrant Shares, and (b) acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (i) have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws and,
as such, may only be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in sales
registered or exempted under the Securities Act and such other applicable
securities laws and (ii) are subject to the restrictions on sales, pledges,

this Warrant, other than pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the holder shall, if
requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the
Company, representations and warranties concerning the Warrant Shares in
substantially the form of the first sentence of this Section 6. If such holder
cannot make such representations and warranties because they would be factually
incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder's exercise of this Warrant,
other than pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, that the Company receive such other
representations and warranties as the Company considers reasonably necessary to
assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this

     Section 7.   OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER.

            (a)   The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to
the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall
record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been
issued, as well as the name and address of any transferee of this Warrant with
respect to which the Company has received written notice in accordance with
Section 11 of this Warrant. The Company may treat the person in whose name any
Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all
purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events
recognizing any transfers with respect to which the Company has received written
notice in accordance with this Section 7 and Section 11 of this Warrant.

            (b)   Subject to Section 4(m) of the Securities Purchase Agreement
and Sections 6 and 7 of this Warrant, this Warrant and the rights granted

                  SALE; SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE
                  PREFERRED STOCK.

            (a)   Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
to another Person or other transaction which is effected in such a way that
holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon
subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "ORGANIC CHANGE." Prior to
the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the
Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person
purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in
each case, the "ACQUIRING ENTITY") a written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant
Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to
each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of the
Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form
and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the Warrants
(including, a proportionally adjusted Warrant Exercise Price based upon the
terms and conditions of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable for
a corresponding number of Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise
of the Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercises), if the value
so reflected is less than the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the consummation of any other
Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and
substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the
Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right
to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the
Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the
exercise of such holder's Warrants (without regard to any limitations on
exercises), such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been
issued or payable in

                                        7
<Page>

such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant
Shares which would have been acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such
holder's Warrant as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into
account any limitations or restrictions on the exerciseability of this Warrant).

            (b)   If the Company at any time after the Date of Issuance of this
Warrant subdivides (whether by any stock split, stock dividends or otherwise)
its outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced (and the number of Warrant Shares
proportionately increased), and if the Company at any time after the Date of
Issuance of this Warrant combines (whether by reverse stock split or otherwise)
its outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased (and the number of Warrant Shares
proportionately decreased).

     Section 9.   INITIAL CONVERSION PRICE OF WARRANT SHARES. The Initial
Conversion Price of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be the amount specified in the Certificate of Designations, subject to
adjustment as provided for therein.

     Section 10.  LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant
is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt
of an indemnification undertaking (or in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the
Warrant) reasonably acceptable to the Company, issue a new Warrant of like
denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

     Section 11.  NOTICE. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications
required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in
writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when
delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
