In the event of a proposed transaction of the kind described above, the Company shall notify. Holder in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such event or transaction. However, if the Holder has sent a Notice of Exercise on or before the expiration of the Exercise Period and the Holder is prevented from exercising the Warrant on or before the end of the Exercise Period due to any applicable waiting periods imposed by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act Restrictions"), the Holder may complete the process of exercising the Warrant, for a period of ten (10) days following termination of the HSR Act Restrictions. (b) If the Company does not recognize gross revenues of at least $14,000,000 during Fiscal Year 1999 (January 1, 1999 -- December 31, 1999), this Warrant will become exercisable on the terms contained in Section 2(a) hereof beginning on December 31, 1999.

Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and ------------------ exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, Holder may exercise, in whole or in part and on one or more occasions at the election of the Holder, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by: (a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of Exercise Notice attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and (b) except as set forth in Section 4 below, the payment to the Company by cash, check, shares of the Company's capital stock, cancellation of indebtedness, wire transfer or a combination thereof, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased. 4.

Y = The number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is to be exercised (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). A = The fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock (as determined below). B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations). 2. For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock as of a specified date shall mean: (a) if this Warrant is exercised contemporaneously with the closing of the Company's IPO, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall mean the price to the public specified in the Company's final prospectus for such IPO; and (b) if this Warrant is exercised other than in connection with the Company's IPO, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall mean (x) if the Common Stock is listed or traded on a securities exchange or over the counter market, the arithmetic average of the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange on which such securities are listed or quoted (or the arithmetic average of the closing bid and ask prices, if traded over the counter), over a period of five consecutive Business Days ending on the day on which the current fair market value is to be determined (or if such day is not a business day, the business day next preceding such day), or (y) if the Common Stock is not so listed, the highest price per share which the Company could then obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director of the Company) for such Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, provided that if prior to such date the Company has become subject to a merger, acquisition or consolidation pursuant to which the Company is not or will not be the surviving party, the current fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the value received or to be received by the holders of the shares of such Common Stock for each share of Common Stock pursuant to such merger, acquisition or consolidation. 5.

Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights ----------------------- evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of the Exercise Notice.

Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that (a) the Shares, ------------------ when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, hens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof (except for any applicable transfer taxes, which shall be paid by Holder) and (b) during the Exercise Period, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a 3. sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 8.

If the Company ---------------------------------------------- shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its capital stock, or issue additional securities as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 8(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend. (b) Reclassification, Reorganization, Merger or Sale. In case of any ------------------------------------------------ reclassification, capital reorganization, change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 8(a) above) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation effected in such a way that holders of stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for stock, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, change, merger or sale, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the holder of this Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, change, merger or sale, by a holder of the same number of shares of capital stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, change, merger or sale. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. (c) Certificate of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be ------------------------- made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant or in the Exercise Price, an officer of the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to Holder. 4. 9.
