Dear Robert,

On behalf of Alloy, Inc. (the "Company"),  I am very pleased to provide you with
the employment  letter (the "Letter") setting forth terms and conditions of your
employment  by  Company.  The  following  sets  forth  the  proposed  terms  and
conditions of the Company's offer to employ you. We hope that you choose to join
the Company and look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship.

1. Position: Your initial position will be Chief Executive Officer of Retail and
Direct Consumer  division based out of the Company's office located in New York,
NY. You will report to the Chief Operating  Officer and Chief Executive  Officer
of the Company.  As the  Company's  employee,  we expect you to devote your full
time and energies to the business and affairs of the Company, and to perform any
and all duties and responsibilities  associated with this position and as may be
reasonably  assigned  to  you  by  the  Company;   provided,   however,  Company
acknowledges  and  consents to you serving as a director  of  Newgistics  on the
condition  that such  directorship  does not present a conflict of interest with
the Company or its any of its  subsidiaries  or affiliates or conflict with your
duties of Chief  Executive  Officer of Retail and Direct  Consumer  Division and
does not  require  more than 10 hours of your time  during any given  month.  In
addition to your primary  duties,  you shall perform such other services for the
Company as may be  reasonably  assigned to you from time to time by the Company.
Your  performance  will be  reviewed  on a periodic  basis as long as you remain
employed by the Company. You acknowledge that you will be named as an "Executive

Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act"),  and as such

executive  officers by the  Exchange  Act and Company  policies,  including  the
reporting  requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the  "short-swing"

                  additional six (6) months.

<PAGE>

         9. Potential Spin Off. You  acknowledge and understand that the Company
is considering a "spin off" of the Company's various  merchandising units into a
new publicly  traded company  ("SpinCo").  In connection with such spin off, all
Initial  Option Grants shall be deemed vested as of the date when public trading
of SpinCo's  common stock  commences (the "Spin Off Completion  Date").  You and
Company,  on  behalf  of  SpinCo,  further  agree  to enter  into an  employment
arrangement for a period of two years commencing on the Spin Off Completion Date
which  arrangement  shall be on substantially  similar terms as those herein set
forth except that any options  granted to you shall be on terms set forth in the
following paragraph.

         In  addition,  to the  extent not  against  the  recommendation  of the
Company's  professional  advisors  after taking into  consideration  the size of
SpinCo, Company will, or will cause SpinCo to, create a pool of options equal to
no more than 10% of the fully diluted shares of SpinCo  ("Management  Options"),
with 50% of the  Management  Options  to be  issued  to you  with  12.5% of such
options  vesting on each six month  anniversary of the Spin Off Completion  Date
and exercisable  during the ten (10) year period  beginning on the date of issue
at a purchase  price per share equal to the closing price of SpinCo common stock
on the Spin Off  Completion  Date.  The  remaining  Management  Options shall be
reserved  for  issuance  to senior  management  members of SpinCo on terms to be
determined by SpinCo's board of directors. In the event that SpinCo cannot issue
to you the  number  of  options  contemplated  above,  Company  and you agree to
negotiate  in good faith to provide  you with  substantially  the same  economic
benefit.

10. The Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any person or
entity that succeeds to all or  substantially  all of the Company's  business or
that aspect of the Company's business in which you are principally involved. You
may not assign any of your rights and obligations  under this Letter without the
prior written consent of the Company.

11.  Miscellaneous:  This letter,  together with the Agreement,  constitutes our
entire  offer  regarding  the terms and  conditions  of your  employment  by the
Company.  It supersedes  any prior  agreements,  or other promises or statements
(whether oral or written)  regarding the offered terms of employment.  The terms
of your  employment  shall be  governed  by the law of the  State  of New  York,
without  giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws. By accepting this
offer of  employment,  you  expressly  agree that any action,  demand,  claim or
counterclaim  concerning  any aspect of your  employment  relationship  with the
Company shall be resolved by a judge alone,  and you waive and forever  renounce
your right to a trial before a civil jury.

         You may accept this offer of  employment  and the terms and  conditions
hereof by signing the enclosed additional copy of this letter and the Agreement,
which  execution  will evidence your agreement with the terms and conditions set
forth herein and therein.

Warrant No. [ ]                     Date of Original Issuance: November 19, 2003

         e.Digital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby
certifies that, for value received, [ ] or its, registered assigns (the
"Holder"), has the right to purchase from the Company up to a total of [ ]
shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant
Shares") at an exercise price equal to $0.60 per share (as adjusted from time to
time as provided in Section 8, the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from time
to time from and after the date hereof and through and including May 18, 2004
(the "Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions.

         1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

         2. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer
of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this
Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed,
to the Company's transfer agent or to the Company at its address specified
herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common

to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this

<PAGE>

Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.

         3. Exercise and Duration of Warrants. This Warrant shall be exercisable
by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date
hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 p.m., Pacific Time on the
Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall
be and become void and of no value.

         4. Delivery of Warrant Shares.

                (a) Upon delivery of the Form of Election to Purchase to the
Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for
notice set forth in Section 14 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder,
the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five trading days after
the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a
certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise free of all
restrictive or other legends, other than as required under Section 4(e). Any
person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to
have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise
of this Warrant.

                  A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Holder shall
have delivered to the Company (i) the Form of Election to Purchase attached
hereto (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed
and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant
Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

                (b) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate
or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon an exercise by the
third trading day after the Date of Exercise, then the Holder will have the
right to rescind such exercise.

                  (c) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof. If the Company breaches its obligations under this Warrant, then,
in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have hereunder and under
applicable law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Holder on demand for all
costs of collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses).

                  (d) Transfer Restrictions.

                           (i) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may only be
disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, to the Company or pursuant to an available exemption from or in a
transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
and in compliance with any applicable federal and state securities laws. In
connection with any transfer of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, except as
otherwise set forth herein, the Company may require the transferor thereof to
provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor to the
effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities
Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, without requiring a legal
opinion as described in the immediately preceding sentence, hereby consents to
and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with any transfer agent
for the securities of the Company any transfer of this Warrant and the Warrant
Shares by the Holder to an Affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act) of the Holder or to one or more funds or managed accounts under
common management with such Holder, and any transfer among any such Affiliates
or one or more funds or managed accounts, provided that the transferee certifies
to the Company that it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant
Shares solely for investment purposes (subject to the qualifications hereof).

                           (ii) Warrant Shares issued while there is not an
effective registration statement covering the resale by the Holder of the
Warrant Shares (a "Registration Statement") or while the Holder may not resell
such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act shall be
issued with the following legend:

                           THESE  SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN  REGISTERED WITH  THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES  COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM  REGISTRATION  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY,  MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE  EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO,
THE  REGISTRATION  REQUIREMENTS  OF THE  SECURITIES  ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE  WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  HOWEVER,  THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES
ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE  SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION  WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

                           (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Warrant Shares issued when there is an effective Registration
Statement, or at a time when the Holder may resell such Warrant Shares under
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or when such legend is not required under
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued
by the Staff of the Commission) shall be issued free of all restrictions and
other legends. The Company agrees that following the date on which a
Registration Statement is first declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the date on which Warrant Shares may be resold under

                                       3
<PAGE>

144(k), it will, no later than five trading days following the delivery by a
Holder to the Company of a certificate or certificates representing any Warrant
Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver to such Holder certificates
representing such Warrant Shares which shall be free from all restrictive
legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company which enlarge the restrictions
of transfer set forth in this Section.

         5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates
for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer
agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the
Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant
Shares upon exercise hereof.

         6. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.

         7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

         8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 8.

                  (a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of

                                       4
<PAGE>

shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.

                  (b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"Distributed Property"), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such
record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of
which the denominator shall be such Exercise Price and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price less the then fair market value of the Distributed
Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as
determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that
regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser"). In
such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value
shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the
Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to
the Exercise Price, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day
after such record date, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within five
trading days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such
distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant
could have been exercised immediately prior to such record date.

                  (c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "Alternate
Consideration"). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be
affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the
Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration

                                       5
<PAGE>

it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. In addition, at the Holder's request, any successor to the Company
or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a
new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's
right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price
upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a
Fundamental Transaction is affected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph
(c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change
of Control, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day
after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or
surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase
price, payable in cash within five trading days after such request (or, if
later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black
Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date
of such request. As used in this Warrant, "Change of Control" means the
occurrence of any of (i) an acquisition after the date hereof by any Person or
"group" (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of
more than one-third of the voting rights or equity interests in the Company,
(ii) a replacement of more than one-half of the members of the Company's board
of directors that is not approved by those individuals who are member of the
board of directors on the date hereof in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) a merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary
or a sale of more than one-third of the assets of the Company in one or a series
of related transactions, unless following such transactions or series of
transactions, the holders of the Company's securities prior to the first such
transaction continue to hold at least two-thirds of the voting rights and equity
interests in of the surviving entity or acquirer of such assets, or (iv) the
execution by the Company of an agreement to which the Company is a party or by
which it is bound, providing for any of the events set forth above in (i), (ii)
or (iii).

                  (d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this
Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment
the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased number of
Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustment will be made under this Section 8 in respect of any grant of options
or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any duly authorized
Company stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan.

                  (e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the
disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.

                  (f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the

                                       6
<PAGE>

adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's transfer agent.

                  (g) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing
the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to
hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order
to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this
Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any
defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to
be described in such notice. Until the exercise of this Warrant or any portion
of this Warrant, the Holder shall not have nor exercise any rights by virtue
hereof as a stockholder of the Company (including without limitation the right
to notification of stockholder meetings or the right to receive any notice or
other communication concerning the business and affairs of the Company other
than as provided in this Section 8(g)).

                  (h) Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the
Exercise Price by delivery of immediately available funds.

         9. Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by
the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof)
shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise
(or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates under Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. The restrictions set forth in this Section 10
shall not apply in determining the consideration and the number of shares or
other securities, and other property to which Holder may be entitled upon any
adjustment or event contemplated in Section 8 of this Warrant.

         10. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will
be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash

                                       7
<PAGE>

equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one
Warrant Share as reported on the American Stock Exchange on the date of
exercise.

         11. Exchange Act Filings. The Holder agrees and acknowledges that it
shall have sole responsibility for making any applicable filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a result of its acquisition of
this Warrant and the Warrant Shares and any future retention or transfer
thereof.

         12. Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during after the Original
Issue Date and through the Expiration Date there is not an effective
Registration Statement covering all of the Warrant Shares and the Company shall
determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the
Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form
S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents
relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company
shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within
fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in
writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any of
the Warrant Share such holder requests to be registered, subject to customary
underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights.

         13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) on
a trading day, (ii) the next trading day after the date of transmission, if such

Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or
such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company
in accordance with this Section.

         14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant

                                       8

agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be

                  (a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit

shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
