 DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANT 
  
 Section 2.1. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised at any time after January 1, 2004 and prior to the Expiration Date. The
Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant at the address of the Company set forth in Section 4.10 hereof or at such other address as the Company may designate by notice in writing to
the Warrantholder with the Subscription Form annexed hereto duly executed, accompanied by payment of the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased. Upon receipt thereof, the
Company shall cause to be issued certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased in such denominations as are requested for delivery to the Warrantholder. Such certificates shall be delivered as promptly as practicable to the Warrantholder. Upon
any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon exercise, the Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the holder of record
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the
Warrantholder. If at the time this Warrant is exercised, a registration statement is not in effect to register under the Securities Act the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company may require the Warrantholder to make such
representations, and may place such legends on certificates representing the Warrant Shares, as may be reasonably required to permit the Warrant Shares to be issued without such registration. The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer and
similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of the Warrant or in respect of the issue of any of the Warrant Shares, except the Company shall not pay such transfer taxes if the Warrant Shares are issued to a Person other than the
Warrantholder. 
  
 Section 2.2. Reservation of Shares. The
Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as may be from time to time issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or
restrictions, other than those restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, and free and clear of all preemptive and similar rights. 
  

 3 

 Section 2.3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share
of its capital stock in connection with the exercise of this Warrant, and in any case where the Warrantholder would, except for the provisions of this Section 2.3, be entitled under the terms of this Warrant to receive a fraction of a share upon the
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant and receipt of the Warrant Price (as adjusted to cover the balance of the share), issue the largest number of whole shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, but
in no event shall the Company issue more than such number of shares of Common Stock as are issuable pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not be required to make any cash or other adjustment in respect of such fraction of a
share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled. 
  
 Section 2.4. Payment for Warrant Shares. 
  
 (a)
Payment of the aggregate Warrant Price for Warrant Shares to be purchased upon exercise of all or a portion of this Warrant shall be made in full by delivery to the Company, at its address set forth in Section 4.10 hereof or at such other address as
the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder, of a certified or bank cashier’s check or by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by the Company. 
  
 (b) Payment of the aggregate Warrant Price may also be made in full by
delivery to the Company of Notes plus accrued interest thereon, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Warrant Price or a combination of cash (payable by wire transfer or certified or bank check) and Notes beneficially owned by such
Warrantholder and such accumulated dividends or accrued interest, as the case may be, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Warrant Price. Any Notes surrendered for exchange hereunder shall be, if so required by the Company,
accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly delivered by the Warrantholder. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE OR WARRANT SHARES 
  
 Section 3.1. Adjustment of Warrant Price. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in Section 3.1(c), in case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue or sell any shares of Common Stock, for a
consideration per share less than the then Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, or without consideration, then, and thereafter successively upon each issuance or sale, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance or sale
shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to (X) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
such issuance or sale, plus (Y) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. 
  

 4 

 For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (a),
the following shall be applicable: 
  
 (i) In
case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount of the cash consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company for such shares (or, if
such shares of Common Stock are offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if shares of Common Stock shall be sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering price)
before deducting therefrom any commissions or other expenses paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of such shares; 
  
 (ii) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which
shall be other than cash (otherwise than as a dividend or other distribution on any shares of Common Stock of the Company or on conversion, exercise or exchange of other securities of the Company or upon acquisition of the assets or securities of
another company or upon merger or consolidation with another entity), the amount of consideration therefor other than cash shall be the value of such consideration as of the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock, irrespective of
accounting treatment, but as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. The reclassification of securities other than Common Stock into Common Stock shall be deemed to involve the issuance for a consideration other than cash
of such Common Stock immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such Common Stock; 
  
 (iii) In case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of any obligations or of
any securities of the Company that shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or upon the exercise of rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase shares of Common Stock (other than upon exercise of this Warrant), the
amount of consideration received by the Company for such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the sum of (A) the amount of the consideration received by the Company upon the original issuance of such obligations, shares, rights or options,
as the case may be, plus (B) the consideration, if any, other than such obligations, shares, rights or options, received by the Company upon such conversion, exchange, or exercise except in adjustment of interest and dividends. The amount of the
consideration received by the Company upon the original issuance of the obligations, shares, rights or options so converted, exchanged or exercised and the amount of the consideration, if any, other than such obligations, shares, rights or options,
received by the Company upon such conversion, exchange or exercise shall be, determined in the same manner provided in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above with respect to the consideration received by the Company in case of the issuance of shares of
Common Stock; if such obligations, shares, rights or options shall have been issued as a dividend upon any securities of the Company, the amount of the consideration received by the Company upon the original issuance thereof shall be deemed to be
zero. In case of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall be 

  

 5 

 
deemed to have received the Warrant Price then in effect as the consideration for each share of Common Stock so issued; 
  
 (iv) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or
other distribution on any securities of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued and to be outstanding at the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. Shares of Common Stock issued otherwise than as a dividend, shall be deemed to have been issued and to be outstanding at the close of business on the date of issue;

  
 (v) The number of shares of Common Stock at
any time outstanding shall not include any shares then owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but shall include the aggregate number of shares deliverable in respect of options, rights and exercisable, convertible and exchangeable
securities at all times while such options, rights or securities remain outstanding and unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged, as the case may be; and 
  
 (vi) No adjustment shall be made to the Warrant Price in effect upon conversion or exchange of (i) securities convertible or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Stock or for other securities that are subsequently exercisable for Common Stock that are outstanding as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or (ii) any obligations or any securities of the Company that shall
be convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or upon the exercise of rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment in the Warrant Price has previously been made in
accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 3.1. 
  
 (b) In case
the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue options or rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue any obligations or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, otherwise than as contemplated
by Section 3.1(a)(vi) or pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, for a consideration per share less than the then Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, or without consideration, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such options
or rights or securities shall be reduced to a price determined by making a computation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 3.1, provided that: 
  
 (i) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable under such options or rights shall be
considered to have been delivered at the time such options or rights were issued, and for a consideration equal to the minimum purchase price per share of Common Stock provided for in such options or rights, plus the consideration (determined in the
same manner as consideration received on the issue or sale of Common Stock), if any, received by the Company for such options or rights; 
  
 (ii) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or exchange for any such obligations or
securities shall be considered to have been delivered at the time of issuance of such securities, and for a 

  

 6 

 
consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the same manner as consideration received on the issue or sale of Common Stock) received by the
Company for such securities, plus the consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the exchange or conversion thereof; and 
  
 (iii) on the expiration of such options or rights, or an increase in the minimum exercise price thereof, or a decrease in the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise or conversion of such options, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities pursuant to the terms thereof (and not as a result of exercise or conversion), or the termination of such
right to convert or exchange, the Warrant Price in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Warrant Price as would have obtained (A) in the case of the expiration or termination of options or rights or the termination of the right to convert or
exchange convertible or exchangeable securities, had no adjustments been made upon the issuance of such options, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, or (B) in the case of an increase in the minimum exercise price thereof, or a decrease
in the maximum number of shares deliverable thereunder, had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such options, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities been made upon the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common
Stock (A) actually deliverable upon the exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion or exchange of such securities, or (B) deliverable by reason of such increase in price or decrease in number of shares. 
  
 (c) No adjustment to the Warrant Price shall be made in connection with the
issuance of 
  
 (i) shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the options, agreements and/or warrants outstanding as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement and listed on Schedule 3.1(c)(i); and 
  
 (ii) up to 100,000 shares per calendar year of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to acquire Common
Stock issued to directors, employees or consultants of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan or agreement (and, in the case of rights, options, or warrants, the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise thereof) and approved by the Board
of Directors. 
  
 (d) In case the Company shall at any time after
the date hereof subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price in effect shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of the subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of combination to the
nearest one cent. Any such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on the date that such subdivision or combination shall become effective. 
  

Section 3.2. Adjustment of Warrant Shares. In the event of an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the number of shares of Common Stock (or
reclassified or recapitalized stock) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after such adjustment shall be equal to the number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator is the 

  

 7 

 
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustments, and the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

  
 Section 3.3. Certain Dividends. In case the Company
shall declare a dividend upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than out of consolidated earnings or consolidated earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the making of appropriate deductions
for minority interests, if any, in subsidiaries (except in Common Stock or convertible securities or rights or options or warrants to purchase Common Stock or convertible securities, but including other securities), the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the declaration of such dividend shall be reduced (to the extent payable otherwise than out of consolidated earnings or consolidated earned surplus) by an amount equal, in the case of a dividend in cash, to the amount thereof
payable per share of the Common Stock, or in the case of any other dividend, to the fair value thereof per share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. For the purpose of the foregoing a dividend other than in
cash shall be considered payable out of earnings or surplus (other than revaluation or paid-in-surplus) only to the extent that such earnings or surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company. Such reductions shall take effect as of the date on which a record is taken for the purpose of such dividend, or, if a record is not taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record entitled to such
dividend are to be determined. 
  
 Section 3.4. Mergers,
Consolidations, Reclassifications. In the case of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a
result of a subdivision or combination) or in the case of any consolidation of the Company into, or merger of the Company with another corporation in which it is not the surviving entity (or it is the surviving entity, but its shares of Common Stock
become shares of another corporation), or in the case of any sale, lease or conveyance of all, or substantially all, of the property, assets, business and goodwill of the Company as an entirety, the Warrantholder shall thereafter until the
Expiration Date have the right upon exercise of this Warrant to receive the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Warrantholder would have received had it exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition, at a price equal to the
aggregate Warrant Price then in effect for exercising this Warrant in full (the kind, amount and price of such stock and other securities to be subject to adjustment as herein provided). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers and dispositions. 
  
 Section 3.5. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of
Article III, the Company shall prepare and deliver forthwith to the Warrantholder a certificate signed by the President of the Company and by its Chief Financial Officer, setting forth the adjusted number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price calculated to the nearest cent and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such calculation is based.

 Section 3.6. Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case at any time: 
  

	 	(A)	the Company shall declare any dividend (or any other distributions) on shares of Common Stock; or 

  

	 	(B)	the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or of any other rights; or

  

	 	(C)	there shall be any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; or 

  

	 	(D)	there shall be any capital reorganization by the Company; or 

  

	 	(E)	there shall be any (i) consolidation or merger involving the Company or (ii) sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s property, assets
or business (except a merger or other reorganization in which the Company shall be the surviving corporation and its shares of capital stock shall continue to be outstanding and unchanged and except a consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other
disposition involving a wholly-owned subsidiary); or 

  

	 	(F)	there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any partial liquidation of the Company or distribution to holders of Common Stock;

  
 then, in each of such cases, the Company shall give written
notice to the Warrantholder of the date on which (i) the books of the Company shall close or a record date shall be fixed for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or (ii) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, shall take place. Such notice also shall specify the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their certificates for Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the
case may be. Such notice shall be given at least twenty (20) days prior to the action in question and not less than twenty (20) days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company’s transfer books are closed in respect thereto.

  
 Section 3.7. Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The
form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or kind of the Warrant Shares. 
  
 Section 3.8. Certain Limitations. The Company shall not issue or grant warrants, options, rights or other obligations or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for 

  

 9 

 
shares of Common Stock having an exercise price, conversion price or exchange price per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the
issuance of such warrants, options, rights or other obligations or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, except to the extent contemplated by Section 3.1(c)(ii).

 Section 4.1. Cancellation of the Warrant. 
  
 (a) The Company may cancel this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and
from time to time before the Commencement Date, subject to the following conditions: 
  
 (i) any partial cancellation of this Warrant shall be such that thereafter the number of Warrant Shares shall be a whole number;

  
 (ii) concurrently with any such cancellation,
the Company shall repay the principal of the Notes in an amount equal to (i) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the reduction in the number of Warrant Shares under
all outstanding Warrants attributable to such cancellation and the denominator of which is 2,500,000; 
  
 (iii) concurrently with such calculation, the Company shall pay to the Warrantholders, pro rata in accordance with the number of Warrant
Shares immediately preceding such cancellation, an amount equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the amount of the principal of the Notes repaid pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(ii); provided, however, that such amount shall equal
five percent (5.0%) of the amount of the principal of the Notes repaid pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(ii) if such repayment is made before September 30, 1999. 
  
 (b) The Company shall deliver to each Warrantholder an irrevocable cancellation notice in the form annexed hereto of each proposed cancellation of all or
a portion of the Warrants not later than twenty (20) days prior to the proposed date of cancellation. Such notice shall state (i) the amount of the Warrant of such Warrantholder to be cancelled, expressed in terms of Warrant Shares, (ii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be repaid pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(ii) and (iii) the amount of the payment to be made to such Warrantholder pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iii). On the date set forth for cancellation in such notice, the
Warrants shall be cancelled as provided in such notice and the amounts payable to the Warrantholders shall be due and payable in immediately available funds. Upon any partial cancellation of the Warrants, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant of like terms and date for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder promptly upon receipt of the Warrant subject to cancellation; provided, however, that the issuance of a new Warrant as aforesaid shall not be necessary in
order for a Warrantholder to exercise a Warrant which has been partially cancelled for the balance of Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder.

 Section 4.2. Transfer. 
  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (f) below and Article XI of the Securities Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable by the Warrantholder, at any time, and from time to time, on or after January 1, 2004, in whole or in part, with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, upon
surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment at the principal office of the Company at any time on or after the Commencement Date. 
  
 (b) Any transferee to whom rights hereunder are transferred shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument by which

 (d) Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Warrantholder as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes; provided, however, that if and when this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice
to the contrary. 
  
 (e) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall
not be sold or transferred unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act or (ii) the Company first shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect
that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
  
 (f) Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form: 
  
 THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR OFFERED FOR SALE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE UNDER SAID
ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. 
  

 11

 Section 4.3. Exchanges of Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at such office or agency of the
Company, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as
shall be designated by said holder hereof at the time of such surrender. 
  
 Section 4.4. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any
of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms
hereof or otherwise. 
  
 Section 4.5. Successors and
Assigns. The terms of this Warrant shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against any successors or assigns of the Company and of the Warrantholder; provided, however, that the Company may not

 Section 4.6.
Rights as Stockholder. Except as provided herein, the Warrantholder, as such, shall not be entitled to vote or be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer

an agreement to the foregoing terms and conditions.

	13.2	If, at any time, the Issuer is required by law to make any withholding or deduction from any sum payable by it hereunder (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which
or the manner in which such withholdings or deductions are calculated), the Issuer shall promptly notify the Noteholder. 

  

	13.3	If, following the making of any increased payment by the Issuer pursuant to Clause 13.1, a Noteholder receives or is granted a credit against, remission for or repayment of any tax
payable or suffered by it which is referable to such deduction or withholding or such increased payment and which confers a genuine benefit on such Noteholder, such Noteholder shall, to the extent that the auditors of such Noteholder (acting as
experts and not as arbitrators) are reasonably satisfied that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such credit, remission or repayment, promptly reimburse the Issuer with such amount as the auditors of such Noteholder (acting as
experts and not as arbitrators) shall reasonably determine and certify (substantiating in reasonably sufficient detail the amount concerned but not including any matters which such Noteholder fairly regards as confidential) to the Issuer to be such
proportion of such credit, remission or repayment as will leave such Noteholder (after such reimbursement) in no better position (after tax) than would have been the case had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

  

	13.4	Reimbursement shall be made under Clause 13.3 above within seven (7) days after a Noteholder has actually received the benefit of such exemption, credit, emission or repayment, but
any reimbursement shall include an amount in respect of interest or repayment supplement on or in respect of tax actually received or credited to such Noteholder in respect of such exemption, credit, remission or repayment and such Noteholder shall
not unreasonably delay the obtaining of such benefit. 

  

	13.5	If a Noteholder is obliged to pay to the Issuer any sum under a Note and: 

  

	 	(a)	any such exemption, credit, remission or repayment as is referred to in Clause 13.3 is subsequently withdrawn in whole or in part; or 

  

	 	(b)	such sum is paid on the basis that it would be allowed to such Noteholder as a deduction or offset for taxation purposes in the accounting period of such Noteholder and such
assumption subsequently proves to be incorrect, 

  
 then the Issuer shall repay to such Noteholder promptly on demand such amount as the auditors of such Noteholder (acting as experts and not as arbitrators) shall reasonably determine and certify (substantiating in reasonably sufficient
detail the amount concerned and not including any matters which such Noteholder fairly regards as confidential) to the Issuer to be such amount as will leave such Noteholder (after such repayment) in no better position (after tax) than would have
been the case had no such circumstances mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) above existed. 
  

 15 

	14.	Interest 

  

	14.1	The rate of interest on the Notes for each Interest Period shall be the aggregate of the applicable: 

  

	 	(a)	Fixed Margin; and 

  

	 	(b)	Interbank Rate. 

  

	14.2	Except as otherwise provided herein in Clause 19 or otherwise, interest shall be payable by the Issuer in U.S. dollars in advance on the first day of each Interest Period (each such
day, an “Interest Payment Date”). 

  

	14.3	The first Interest Period in respect of the Notes will commence on May 12, 2000 with the next Interest Payment Date being six (6) months thereafter.

  

	14.4	Interest shall accrue from day to day from and including the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period to but excluding the last day of the current Interest Period and
shall be calculated at the rate specified in Clause 14.1. 

  

	15.	Default Interest and Indemnity 

  

	15.1	If interest in respect of any Note which is due and payable by the Issuer hereunder is not paid on the due date therefor or if any sum due and payable by the Issuer under any
judgment of any court in connection herewith is not paid on the date of such judgment, such sum (the balance thereof for the time being unpaid being herein referred to as an “unpaid sum”) shall bear interest at the rate specified in
Clause 14.1 beginning on such due date or, as the case may be, the date of such judgment and ending on the date upon which the obligation of the Issuer to pay is discharged. 

  

	15.2	Any interest which shall have accrued under Clause 15.1 in respect of an unpaid sum shall be due and payable and shall be paid by the Issuer to the relevant Noteholder(s) at the end
of the period by reference to which it is calculated or on such other date or dates as such Noteholder(s) may specify by written notice to the Issuer, provided, however that any such interest which shall have accrued as a result of an
event which, but for the payment of such accrued interest as provided in the proviso set forth in the definition of “Interest Payment Default”, would become an Interest Payment Default, shall be payable on the date upon which the
obligation of the Issuer to pay such accrued interest is discharged, whether in accordance with the definition of “Interest Payment Default” or as otherwise provided herein. 

  

	15.3	 The Issuer undertakes to indemnify each Noteholder against any cost, claim, loss, expense (including legal fees) or liability, which it may sustain or incur as a

  

 16 

	 	 
consequence of the occurrence of any default by the Issuer in the performance of any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it in respect of the
Notes. 

  

	16.	Mandatory Prepayment Event 

  
 Upon the occurrence of any Mandatory Payment Event, the Issuer will, subject to the provisions of Clause 19, immediately prepay to the Noteholders all the
outstanding principal and all interest and all other amounts payable under the Notes. 
  
 17. Replacement of Note 
  
 Subject to
Article X of the Securities Purchase Agreement, if any Note is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the specified office of the Issuer, subject to all applicable laws, upon payment by the claimant of the expenses
incurred in connection with such replacement and on such terms as to evidence, security, indemnity and otherwise as the Issuer may reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Notes must be surrendered before replacements will be issued. 
  

	18.	Modification and Noteholders’ Resolutions 

  

	18.1	Any modification to these Conditions shall be agreed in writing between the Issuer and Noteholders holding at least eighty per cent (80%) of the face amount of the Notes and any
such modifications so agreed shall be binding on all further Noteholders, provided that no amendment, supplement or modification to, or waiver of, any provision set forth in this Clause 18, Clause 19, Clause 22 or Clause 23 may be effected
without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (with the consent of the “Majority Lenders”, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement), and any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver entered into without the
prior written consent of the Facility Agent shall be null and void and without any force and effect whatsoever. 

  

	18.2	Any resolution of Noteholders in relation to these Conditions may be made in writing signed by or on behalf such Noteholders holding the relevant face amount of Notes upon delivery
to the Issuer by each such Noteholder of such evidence as to its identity and its capacity as Noteholder as the Issuer may reasonably require. 

  

	19.	Subordination 

  

	19.1	 The Issuer covenants and agrees, and the Noteholder by its acceptance hereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all payments of the principal of and interest and
premium, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Notes (including, without limitation, amounts payable on account of the redemption provisions set forth herein) (collectively,
the “Subordinated Debt”) shall be subordinated in accordance with 

  

 17 

	 	 
the provisions of this Clause 19 to the prior payment in full of all Senior Obligations. For purposes hereof, the Senior Obligations shall not be deemed to
have been paid in full until the Finance Parties shall have received payment of the Senior Obligations in full in cash. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Issuer and the Noteholder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees as follows:

  

	19.2	Upon payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution or winding up or total or
partial liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and
liabilities of the Issuer, all Senior Obligations shall first be paid in full in cash, or payment provided for in cash or cash equivalents in a manner satisfactory to the Finance Parties, before any direct or indirect payment or distribution,
including, without limitation, by exercise of set-off, of any cash, property or securities on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest or any other amounts on or in respect of the Notes and to that end the Finance Parties shall be
entitled to receive directly, for application to the payment of the Senior Obligations (to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Obligations in full after giving effect to any substantially concurrent payment or distribution to or provision for
payment to the Finance Parties), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of the Subordinated Debt. The Facility Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name
or in the name of the Noteholders or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive payment or distribution referred to herein and to file a claim and proofs of claim and take such other action (including without
limitation, voting the Subordinated Debt) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Noteholders hereunder. 

  

	19.3	No direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of the Issuer of principal of (premium, if any), or interest on, or any other amount with respect to, the Subordinated Debt, and no
repurchase, redemption or other retirement of any Note, whether pursuant to the terms of the Note, upon acceleration or otherwise, shall be made if at the time of such payment, repurchase, redemption or retirement, a Subordination Event has occurred
for so long as such Subordination Event shall not have been cured or waived in writing by all applicable parties; provided, that the payment of accrued interest specified in the proviso in the definition of “Interest Payment
Default” may be paid in accordance with such proviso; and provided, further, that on and after the Standstill Termination Date, the Issuer may resume payments on account of the principal of (premium, if any), and interest
(including interest pursuant to Clause 15.1) and any other amounts on the Note, subject to the provisions of Clause 19.1 and Clause 19.2 hereof; 

  

	19.4	 (a) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions prohibiting such payment or distribution, the Noteholders shall have received any payment on 

  

 18 

	 	 
account of the Subordinated Debt at a time when such payment is prohibited by such provisions before the Senior Obligations are paid in full, then and in
such event, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by the Noteholders apart from their other assets and forthwith paid over or delivered to the Facility Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement)
to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreements.

  
 (b) Nothing contained in this Clause 19
will limit the right of the Noteholders to take any action provided herein with respect to the Subordinated Debt; provided that all Senior Obligations then due or thereafter declared to be due shall first be paid in full before the
Noteholders are entitled to receive any payment from the Issuer of principal of, or interest on, or any other amounts under any Note. 
  
 (c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities referred to in this Clause 19, the Noteholders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, and upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person
making any such payment or distribution, delivered to the Noteholders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Obligations and other indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Clause 19. 
  
 (d) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Obligations to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Issuer or any Noteholder with the terms and provisions and covenants herein regardless of any knowledge thereof such holder may have or otherwise
be charged with. 
  
 (e) The provisions of this Clause 19 are
intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of the Senior Obligations. The Issuer and each Noteholder, by its acceptance hereof, each acknowledge that the Finance Parties are relying upon the provisions of
this Clause 19 in extending such Senior Obligations. 
  

	19.5	Any payment or distribution to the Facility Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Senior Obligations, pursuant to the provisions of this Clause 19 shall entitle the Noteholder to a
right of subrogation in respect thereof; provided, however that all such subrogation rights are not exercisable until the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full. 

  

 19 

	19.6	Nothing contained in this Clause 19 or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Issuer and the Noteholder, the obligations of the Issuer, which are
absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Noteholder the principal of (premium, if any), and interest on, the Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of the Noteholder and creditors of the Issuer other than the holders of the Senior Obligations nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Noteholder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the occurrence
of a Mandatory Prepayment Event under this Note, subject to the rights, if any, under this Clause 19 of the holders of the Senior Obligations in respect of cash, property or securities of the Issuer received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

  

	19.7	As long as the Senior Obligations shall not have been paid in full, no Noteholder will commence, or join with any creditor other than the holders of the Senior Obligations in
commencing, or directly or indirectly cause the Issuer to commence or assist the Issuer in commencing, any proceeding referred to in Clause 19.2. 

  

	19.8	All rights and interests hereunder of the holders of the Senior Obligations, and all agreements and obligations of the Noteholders and the Issuer under this Clause 19, shall remain
in full force and effect irrespective of: 

  
 (a)
the lack of validity or enforceability of any provision under any Senior Loan Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver
of or any consent to any departure from the Senior Loan Agreements, including, without limitation, any increase in the Senior Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise;

  
 (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any
other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Senior Obligations; 
  
 (d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of
any collateral for all or any of the Senior Obligations or any other assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; 
  
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; or 
  
 (f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Issuer or a subordinated creditor. 
  

 20 

 Each Noteholder and the Issuer hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with
respect to any of the Senior Obligations and this Clause 19 and any requirement that the Facility Agent or any holder of the Senior Obligations protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against the Issuer or any other person or entity or any collateral. 
  

	19.9	(a) The provisions of this Clause 19 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, and the Senior Obligations shall not be deemed to be paid in full, as the case may be, if at
any time any payment of any of the Senior Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Facility Agent or any holder of the Senior Obligations upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made. 

  
 (b) The
provisions of this Clause 19 shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Senior Obligations, (ii) be binding upon the Issuer and each Noteholder and their respective successors, assigns and transferees and (iii) inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Finance Party and its successors, assigns and transferees. 
  

	20.	Miscellaneous 

  

	20.1	No failure by any Noteholder to exercise, nor any delay by such Noteholder in exercising, any right or remedy in respect of any of the Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies (whether provided by law or otherwise). 

  

	20.2	Subject to Section 12.9 (Expenses) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer will pay all costs associated with the issuance of the Notes. 

  
 21. Notices

benefit of each of the Finance Parties that the courts of New York or Hungary shall have the jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Note and,
for such purposes, irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. 

  

 22 

	23.2	Option to Refer Disputes to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 23.1 above (New York or Hungarian Courts), (a) in the event that the Facility
Agent deems it appropriate to assert its rights relating to this Note, or (b) at the option of either the Issuer or the Noteholder in the event the Facility Agent has not asserted its rights related hereto or at any time after the Senior Obligations

herein by reference in its entirety. 

  

	23.3	Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Clause 23.3 and Clauses 23.1 and 23.2 are for the benefit of the Finance Parties and nothing in Clause 23.1 shall prevent the Facility
