new Warrant issued pursuant to Subsection 2.1, shall cease to be exercisable and
shall become void, and all rights of the Warrantholder hereunder shall cease.

     2.3. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares
shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any stock transfer or
other issuance tax in respect thereto; provided, however, that the Warrantholder
shall be required to pay any and all taxes which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificates for
Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the then Warrantholder as reflected
upon the books of the Company.

     2.4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Other than transfers to Affiliates (as that
term is defined in the Company's Stockholders Agreement), neither this Warrant
nor any of the Warrant Shares may be transferred or sold, in whole or in part,
without the prior written consent of the Company and except in compliance with
applicable United States federal and state securities laws. Subject to the
foregoing, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or
in part, by the Warrantholder and any such transfer is registrable at the office
of the Company referred to in Subsection 7.5(a) by the Warrantholder in person
or by its duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant in accordance
with Section 4. The Company may not transfer or assign any of its rights or
obligations under this Warrant, or any portion thereof.

     2.5. DIVISIBILITY OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be divided into multiple
warrants upon surrender at the office of the Company referred to in Subsection
7.5(a) on any Business Day, without charge to the Warrantholder.

     2.6. CASHLESS EXERCISE. At the option of the Warrantholder, the
Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant, without a cash payment of the Exercise
Price, through a reduction in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrant. Such reduction may be effected by designating that the
number of the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Warrantholder upon such
exercise shall be reduced by the number of shares having an aggregate Fair
Market Value as of the date of exercise equal to the amount of the total
Exercise Price for such exercise. For purposes of this Warrant, the "Fair Market
Value" of the Common Stock on any date in question shall be the average closing
sale price of the Common Stock on the principal stock exchange, stock market or
quotation market on which the Common Stock is traded for the thirty (30)
Business Days immediately preceding such date, as quoted in The Wall Street
Journal or other nationally recognized, reputable publication. If the Common
Stock is not listed or qualified for trading or quotation on a stock exchange or
stock market or national quotation system at such time, then the Fair Market
Value shall be determined using such method as the Warrantholder and the Company
shall agree. In connection with any cashless exercise, no cash or other
consideration will be paid by the Warrantholder in connection with such exercise
other than the surrender of the Warrant itself, and no commission or other
remuneration will be paid or given by the Warrantholder or the Company in
connection with such exercise.

SECTION 3.  RESERVATION OF SHARES.

     All Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant, upon issuance and payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with
the terms of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, security interests, charges and
other encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof other than taxes in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance. The
issuance of the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Warrant Shares pursuant hereto will not be subject to, and will not violate, any
preemptive or similar rights. During the period within which this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved, and keep
available and free from preemptive or similar rights, a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant and of all
other options or rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock and the
conversion or exchange of all convertible or exchangeable securities of the
Company.

SECTION 4.  EXCHANGE, LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT.

     If permitted by Subsection 2.4 or 2.5, upon surrender of this Warrant to
the Company with a duly executed instrument of assignment and funds sufficient
to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver
a new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the assignee named in such instrument
of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver
a new Warrant of like tenor.

SECTION 5.  OWNERSHIP OF WARRANT.

     The Company may deem and treat the person or entity in whose name this
Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any
notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company)
for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until
presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in
Subsections 2.1 and 2.5 or in Section 4.

SECTION 6.  CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

     The Exercise Price at which Warrant Shares may be purchased hereunder and
the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased upon exercise hereof are subject to
change or adjustment as follows:

     6.1. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or the
Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the
Company shall promptly send by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Warrantholder, notice of such adjustment.

     6.2. PRESERVATION OF PURCHASE RIGHTS UPON MERGER, CONSOLIDATION. In case of
any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company with or into
another entity or in case of any sale, transfer or lease to another entity of
all or substantially all the assets or stock of the Company, the Warrantholder
shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such action to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the
kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which such holder
would have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or lease had this Warrant been exercised immediately
prior to such action, and the Company or such successor or purchasing entity, as
the case may be, shall execute with the Warrantholder an agreement to that
effect. Such agreement shall provide for

                                       4
<PAGE>

adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provisions of this Subsection
6.2 shall apply similarly to successive consolidations, mergers, sales,
transfers or leases.

     6.3.  ADJUSTMENTS.

           (a)    Stock Dividends, Distributions or Subdivisions. In the event
                  the Company at any time or from time after the date hereof
                  shall issue additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to a
                  stock dividend, stock distribution, subdivision, share split
                  or reclassification, then, and in each such case, concurrently
                  with the effectiveness of such event, the Exercise Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such event shall be
                  proportionately decreased with the number of Warrant Shares
                  purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
                  such event shall be proportionately increased.

           (b)    Combinations or Consolidations. In the event the outstanding
                  shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by
                  reclassification, reverse split or otherwise, into a lesser
                  number of shares of Common Stock, concurrently with the
                  effectiveness of such event, the Exercise Price in effect
                  immediately prior to such event shall be proportionately
                  increased and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
                  exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event shall
                  be proportionately decreased.

           (c)    Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

                  (i)    In the event the Company at any time or from time to
                         time after the date hereof shall issue or sell
                         Additional Shares (as defined below) without
                         consideration or for a consideration per share less
                         than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
                         the issuance, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced
                         to the price at which such Additional Shares are
                         issued. The total number of shares of Common Stock to
                         be purchased under the Warrant shall be increased by
                         dividing the new Exercise Price into the aggregate
                         exercise amount of the Warrant prior to the lowering of
                         the Exercise Price.

                  (ii)   In the event the Company shall issue Additional Shares
                         for a consideration per share less than the Fair Market
                         Value of the Common Stock as of the date of such
                         issuance, but greater than the Exercise Price in effect
                         immediately prior to the issuance, then the Exercise
                         Price shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to
                         the amount determined by multiplying such Exercise
                         Price by a fraction:

                                       5
<PAGE>

                         (A)    the numerator of which is the number of shares
                                of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
                                the issuance of such Additional Shares plus the
                                number of shares of Common Stock that the
                                aggregate consideration, if any, received by the
                                Company for the Additional Shares so issued
                                would purchase at a price equal to the Fair
                                Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date
                                of issuance; and

                         (B)    the denominator of which is the number of shares
                                of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
                                the issuance of such Additional Shares plus the
                                number of Additional Shares so issued. The total
                                number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased
                                under the Warrant shall be increased by dividing
                                the new Exercise Price into the aggregate
                                exercise amount of the Warrant prior to the
                                lowering of the Exercise Price.

                  (iii)  If the Company issues Common Stock for a consideration
                         in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
                         other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value
                         thereof as determined by mutual agreement of the
                         Warrantholder and the Company.

                  (iv)   If the Company issues options or rights to purchase or
                         subscribe for Common Stock, securities convertible into
                         or exchangeable for Common Stock or options or rights
                         to purchase or subscribe for such convertible or
                         exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall
                         apply for all purposes of calculating the number of
                         shares of Common Stock outstanding under this
                         Subsection 6.3 upon the Exercise of the Warrants:

                         (A)    The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
                                Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the
                                satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability
                                including, without limitation, the passage of
                                time, but without taking into account potential
                                antidilution adjustments) of such options or
                                rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock
                                shall be deemed to have been issued at the time
                                such options or rights were issued and for a
                                consideration equal to the consideration, if
                                any, received by the Company upon the issuance
                                of such options or rights plus the exercise
                                price provided in such options or rights
                                (without taking into account potential
                                antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock
                                covered thereby.

                         (B)    The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
                                Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in
                                exchange

                                (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to
                                convertibility or exchangeability, including,
                                without limitation, the passage of time, but
                                without taking into account potential
                                antidilution adjustments) for any such
                                convertible or exchangeable securities, or
                                options or rights to purchase or subscribe
                                therefore, shall be deemed to have been issued
                                at the time such securities were issued or such
                                options or rights were issued and for
                                consideration equal to the consideration, if
                                any, received by the Company for any such
                                securities and related options or rights
                                (excluding any cash received on account of
                                accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the
                                additional consideration, if any, to be received
                                by the Company (without taking into account
                                potential antidilution adjustments) upon the
                                conversion or exchange of such securities or the
                                exercise of any related options or rights.

                         (C)    In the event of any change in the number of
                                shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the
                                consideration payable to the Company upon
                                exercise of such options or rights or upon
                                conversion of or in exchange for such
                                convertible or exchangeable securities,
                                including, but not limited to, a change
                                resulting from the antidilution provisions
                                thereof, the Exercise Price, to the extent
                                previously adjusted upon the issuance of such
                                options, rights or securities, shall be
                                readjusted to reflect such change, but no
                                further adjustment shall be made for the actual
                                issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such
                                consideration upon the exercise of any such
                                options or rights or the conversion or exchange
                                of such securities.

                         (D)    Upon the expiration of any such options or
                                rights, the termination of any such rights to
                                convert or exchange or the expiration of any
                                options or rights related to such convertible or
                                exchangeable securities, the Exercise Price, to
                                the extent previously adjusted upon the issuance
                                of such options, rights or securities or options
                                or rights related to such securities, shall be
                                readjusted to reflect the issuance of only the
                                number of shares of Common Stock (and
                                convertible or exchangeable securities which
                                remain in effect) actually issued upon the
                                exercise of such options or rights, upon the
                                conversion or exchange of such securities or
                                upon the exercise of the options or rights
                                related to such securities.

                         (E)    The number of shares of Common Stock deemed
                                issued

                                and the consideration deemed paid therefore
                                pursuant to Subsections 6.3(c)(iv)(A) and (B)
                                shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any
                                change, termination or expiration of the type
                                described in either Subsection 6.3(c)(iv)(C) or
                                (D).

                         (F)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
                                Subsection 6.3(c)(iv), the adjustments required
                                by this Subsection 6.3 with respect to the
                                issuance of options under employee benefit plans
                                of the Company shall be made, in the aggregate,
                                only after the Warrantholder has notified the
                                Company that it intends to exercise this
                                Warrant, in whole or in part, at which time the
                                required adjustments shall be made with respect

Each of the parties agrees that all actions or proceedings arising out of or

liabilities under this Warrant, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate
relief to the Warrantholder or any other holder, and therefore, the Company
agrees that the Warrantholder or any other holder, if it so requests, shall be
entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without
the necessity of proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedies that
may be available to it at law or in equity.

                  Warrantholder by virtue of this Warrant in accordance with the
                  terms of this Warrant;

then, in any such event, the reasonable attorneys' fees arising from such
services and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges, and fees of counsel or of
