     "Appraisal Procedure" means a procedure whereby two independent appraisers,
one chosen by the Company and one by the Original Warrantholder, shall mutually

appraisers they are unable to agree upon the amount in question, a third
independent appraiser shall be chosen within 10 days thereafter by the mutual
consent of such first two appraisers. The decision of the third appraiser so
appointed and chosen shall be given within 30 days after the selection of such
third appraiser. If three appraisers shall be appointed and the determination of
one appraiser is disparate from the middle determination by more than twice the
amount by which the other determination is disparate from the middle
determination, then the determination of such appraiser shall be excluded, the
remaining two determinations shall be averaged and such average shall be binding

within 10 days of receipt of written notice thereof. If the Original
Warrantholder and the Company are unable to agree on fair market value during

objection, the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to

                                       2



determine Fair Market Value by delivering written notification thereof not later

similar transaction.

City time on the tenth anniversary of the Issue Date (the "Expiration Time"), by
(A) the surrender of this Warrant and Notice of Exercise annexed hereto, duly
completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, at the principal
executive office of the Company located at the address set forth in Item 7 of
Schedule A hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company in the United
States as it may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder at the
address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company), and (B)
payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares thereby purchased:

          (i) by having the Company withhold, from the shares of Common Stock
that would otherwise be delivered to the Warrantholder upon such exercise,
shares of Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant equal in value to
the aggregate Exercise Price as to which this Warrant is so exercised based on
the Market Price of the Common Stock on the trading day on which this Warrant is

the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive from the Company within a
reasonable time, and in any

                                       5



event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially
identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference
between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Shares as
to which this Warrant is so exercised. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant
to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its
exercise of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the
Warrantholder will have first received any applicable Regulatory Approvals.

     4. Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Listing. Certificates for Shares
issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names as the
Warrantholder may designate and will be delivered to such named Person or
Persons within a reasonable time, not to exceed three business days after the
date on which this Warrant has been duly exercised in accordance with the terms
of this Warrant. The Company hereby represents and warrants that any Shares
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or
charges created by the Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred in
connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Company agrees that the Shares so
issued will be deemed to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close
of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price
are delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed
or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered on such
date. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for
the exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time. The Company will (A)
procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Shares issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant at any time, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all
principal stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded and
(B) maintain such listings of such Shares at all times after issuance. The
Company will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued
without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of
any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded.

     5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip
representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this
Warrant. In lieu of any fractional Share to which the Warrantholder would
otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a cash
payment equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day
preceding the date of exercise less the pro-rated Exercise Price for such
fractional share.

     6. No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle
the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the date of exercise hereof. The Company will at no time close
its transfer books against transfer of this Warrant in any manner which
interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

     7. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Shares to the
Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to
the

                                       6



Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in
respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company.

     8. Transfer/Assignment.

     (A) Subject to compliance with clause (B) of this Section 8, this Warrant
and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books
of the Company by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney, and a new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the
same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of one or more
transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the office or
agency of the Company described in Section 3. All expenses (other than stock
transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation,
execution and delivery of the new warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be
paid by the Company.

     (B) The transfer of the Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of the
Warrant are subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.4 of the Purchase
Agreement. If and for so long as required by the Purchase Agreement, this
Warrant shall contain the legends as set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) of
the Purchase Agreement.

     9. Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the Warrantholder to the Company, for a new warrant or
warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate
number of Shares. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and
address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant. This
Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise in accordance with its
terms, at the office of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely
in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

     10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall make and deliver,
in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of
like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of
Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     11. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall not be a business day, then such action may be taken or such right may be
exercised on the next succeeding day that is a business day.

     12. Rule 144 Information. The Company covenants that it will use its
reasonable best efforts to timely file all reports and other documents required
to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not
required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Warrantholder,
make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will use reasonable best efforts
to take such further

                                       7



action as any Warrantholder may reasonably request, in each case to the extent
required from time to time to enable such holder to, if permitted by the terms
of this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, sell this Warrant without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended
from time to time, or (B) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by
the SEC. Upon the written request of any Warrantholder, the Company will deliver
to such Warrantholder a written statement that it has complied with such
requirements.

     13. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this
Section 13 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that
produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment
under more than one subsection of this Section 13 so as to result in
duplication:

     (A) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the
Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii)
combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at
the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective
date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder after such date shall be
entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder
would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common
Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at
the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective
date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to
the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as
the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or
reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence.

     (B) Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities. Until the
earlier of (i) the date on which the Original Warrantholder no longer holds this
Warrant or any portion thereof and (ii) the third anniversary of the Issue Date,
if the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or
other securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable (collectively,
a "conversion") for shares of Common Stock) (collectively, "convertible
securities") (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below) or a
transaction to which subsection (A) of this Section 13 is applicable) without
consideration or at a consideration per share (or having a conversion price per
share) that is less than 90% of the Market Price on the last trading day
preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible
securities) then, in such event:

          (A) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
          immediately prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such
          shares (or of

                                       8



          such convertible securities) (the "Initial Number") shall be increased
          to the number obtained by multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction
          (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of
          shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on such date and (y)
          the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which
          convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (B) the
          denominator of which shall be the sum of (I) the number of shares of
          Common Stock outstanding on such date and (II) the number of shares of
          Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the
          Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or
          into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) would
          purchase at the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the
          date of the agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible
          securities); and

          (B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be
          adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price in effect immediately
          prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares (or of
          such convertible securities) by a fraction, the numerator of which
          shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
          of this Warrant prior to such date and the denominator of which shall
          be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
          Warrant immediately after the adjustment described in clause (A)
          above.

     For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by
the Company in connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or
convertible securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the net
offering price (including the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration
and after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of all
such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise
or conversion of any such convertible securities into shares of Common Stock;
and "Permitted Transactions" shall mean issuances (i) as consideration for or to
fund the acquisition of businesses and/or related assets, (ii) in connection
with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in the
ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by the Board of
Directors, (iii) in connection with a public or broadly marketed offering and
sale of Common Stock or convertible securities for cash conducted by the Company
or its affiliates pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or Rule 144A
thereunder on a basis consistent with capital raising transactions by comparable
financial institutions and (iv) in connection with the exercise of preemptive
rights on terms existing as of the Issue Date. Any adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 13(B) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such
issuance.

     (C) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for
the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of
securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants
(excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of its Common Stock and other
dividends or distributions referred to in Section 13(A)), in each such case, the
Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately
thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of
the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the
Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on
which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to
receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value
of

                                       9



the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so
distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (such amount and/or Fair
Market Value, the "Per Share Fair Market Value") divided by (y) such Market
Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of
Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the
number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this
adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend
that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share
Fair Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the
cash dividend that would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that
such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted,
effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to
distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or
warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect
and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.

     (D) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro
Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the
price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Price
of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first
public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to
effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the
Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro
Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and
(ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately
preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates
of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number
of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and
(2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase
giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt,
no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the number of Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 13(D).

     (E) Business Combinations. In case of any Business Combination or
reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock
referred to in Section 13(A)), the Warrantholder's right to receive Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise this
Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property
(including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business
Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to
receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification; and
in any such case, if

                                       10



necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and
interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as
to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Warrantholder's right
to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities
or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of
stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
following the consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of
Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration
receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination, then the
consideration that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise
shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the
majority of all holders of the shares of common stock that affirmatively make an
election (or of all such holders if none make an election).

     (F) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under
this Section 13 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to
the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any
provision of this Section 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in
the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than
$0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount
shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at
the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with
such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate
$0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more.

     (G) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments.
In any case in which the provisions of this Section 13 shall require that an
adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event,
the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the
Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the
occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to
such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu
of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon
request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate
instrument evidencing such Warrantholder's right to receive such additional
shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such
adjustment.

     (H) Completion of Qualified Equity Offering. In the event the Company (or
any successor by Business Combination) completes one or more Qualified Equity
Offerings on or prior to December 31, 2009 that result in the Company (or any
such successor ) receiving aggregate gross proceeds of not less than 100% of the
aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares (and any preferred
stock issued by any such successor to the Original Warrantholder under the CPP),
the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of this Warrant then
held by the Original Warrantholder shall be thereafter reduced by a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 0.5 and (ii) the number of
shares underlying the Warrant on the Issue Date (adjusted to take into account
all other theretofore made adjustments pursuant to this Section 13).

                                       11



     (I) Other Events. For so long as the Original Warrantholder holds this
Warrant or any portion thereof, if any event occurs as to which the provisions
of this Section 13 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would
not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, fairly
and adequately protect the purchase rights of the Warrants in accordance with
the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of
Directors shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in
accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably
necessary, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, to protect such
purchase rights as aforesaid. The Exercise Price or the number of Shares into
which this Warrant is exercisable shall not be adjusted in the event of a change
in the par value of the Common Stock or a change in the jurisdiction of
incorporation of the Company.

     (J) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the
number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as
provided in Section 13, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office
of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of
Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and
the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first
class postage prepaid, to each Warrantholder at the address appearing in the
Company's records.

     (K) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose
to take any action of the type described in this Section 13 (but only if the
action of the type described in this Section 13 would result in an adjustment in
the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is
exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered
upon exercise of this Warrant), the Company shall give notice to the
Warrantholder, in the manner set forth in Section 13(J), which notice shall
specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the
approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also
set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to
indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of
shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise
of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a
record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so
fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15
days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such
action.

     (L) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition
precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant
to this Section 13, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary,
including obtaining regulatory, New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market or
other applicable national securities exchange or stockholder approvals or
exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue
as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock that the
Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to
this Section 13.

     (M) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 13 shall be
made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an
adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to
an amount below par value of the Common

                                       12



Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the
Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.

     14. Exchange. At any time following the date on which the shares of Common
Stock of the Company are no longer listed or admitted to trading on a national
securities exchange (other than in connection with any Business Combination),
the Original Warrantholder may cause the Company to exchange all or a portion of
this Warrant for an economic interest (to be determined by the Original
Warrantholder after consultation with the Company) of the Company classified as
permanent equity under U.S. GAAP having a value equal to the Fair Market Value
of the portion of the Warrant so exchanged. The Original Warrantholder shall
calculate any Fair Market Value required to be calculated pursuant to this
Section 14, which shall not be subject to the Appraisal Procedure.

     15. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in taking
of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
rights of the Warrantholder.

     16. Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such
law is applicable, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such
State. Each of the Company and the Warrantholder agrees (a) to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia for any civil action, suit or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) that
notice may be served upon the Company at the address in Section 20 below and
upon the Warrantholder at the address for the Warrantholder set forth in the
registry maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 9 hereof. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and the Warrantholder hereby
unconditionally waives trial by jury in any civil legal action or proceeding
relating to the Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

     17. Binding Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or
assigns of the Company.

     18. Amendments. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term
of this Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and
the Warrantholder.

     19. Prohibited Actions. The Company agrees that it will not take any action
which would entitle the Warrantholder to an adjustment of the Exercise Price if
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon
exercise of this Warrant, together with all shares of Common Stock then
outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the exercise of
all outstanding options, warrants, conversion and other rights, would exceed the
total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by its Charter.

                                       13



     20. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given
hereunder by any party to the other will be in writing and will be deemed to
have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by
facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt, or (b) on the second business day
following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next day courier
service. All notices hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in Item 8 of
Schedule A hereto, or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated
in writing by the party to receive such notice.

     21. Entire Agreement. This Warrant, the forms attached hereto and Schedule
A hereto (the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein), and the
Letter Agreement (including all documents incorporated therein), contain the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements or undertakings with
respect thereto.
