SECTION 3. Representations of Holder. 3.1 Investment Intent. Holder hereby warrants and represents that Holder is acquiring this Warrant, and any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, for Holder's own account and not with a view to their resale or distribution. 3.2 Exempt from Registration. Holder acknowledges that this Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations of Holder set forth herein. 3.3 Investment Experience. In connection with the investment representations made herein, Holder represents that it is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Warrant, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of his investment, has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment and has been furnished with and has had access to such information as it has requested and deemed appropriate to its investment decision. 3.4 Restricted Securities. Holder hereby confirms that Holder has been informed that this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, are restricted securities under the 1933 Act and may not be resold or transferred unless this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, are first registered under the federal securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly, Holder hereby acknowledges that Holder is prepared to hold this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, for an indefinite period and that Holder is aware that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued under the 1933 Act is not presently available to exempt the issuance of this Warrant from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. (a) Disposition of Shares. Holder hereby agrees that Holder shall make no disposition of this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless and until Holder shall have (i) provided the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that (A) the proposed disposition does not require registration of the Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act, or (B) all appropriate action necessary for compliance with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or of any exemption from registration available under the 1933 Act (including Rule 144) has been taken. Disposition of this Warrant is further restricted by Sections 3.5 and 7 of this Warrant. 3.5 Restrictive Legend. In order to reflect the restrictions on disposition of the Warrant Shares, the stock certificates for the Warrant Shares will be endorsed with the following restrictive legends to the following effect: "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO -3- 4 AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS. THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF A STOCK SUBSCRIPTION WARRANT DATED JANUARY 8, 1999 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH WARRANT.

The Corporation covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation covenants that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be requisite to assure that the stated or par value per share of Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the lowest Warrant Price per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Corporation further covenants and agrees that the Corporation will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

If the Corporation at any time subdivides or combines its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into greater or lesser number of the shares of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, by stock dividend, stock split, or recapitalization), then (a) the Warrant Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such action, and (b) the number of Shares purchasable for the Warrant Price upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the effective date of such subdivision or combination shall be adjusted so that such number shall equal the number determined by multiplying the number of shares purchasable for the Warrant Price immediately prior to such subdivision or combination by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such action and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to such action. 5.2 Reclassification or Merger. Subject to the provisions of Section 2, in the event of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or any sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, that is effected in such a manner that holders of shares of the Common Stock are entitled to receive securities and/or property (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for shares of the Common Stock, the Corporation shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the kind and amount of securities and/or other property receivable upon such event by a holder of the number of shares of the Common Stock for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such event, subject to the adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. 5.3 Extraordinary Distribution. If the Corporation makes any distribution of its assets upon or with respect to shares of the Common Stock as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend, or other than as a dividend payable out of legally available funds, the Holder shall upon exercise of this Warrant thereafter, receive, in addition to the shares of the Common Stock so purchased or paid, the amount of such assets (or, at the option of the -4- 5 Corporation, a sum equal to the fair value thereof at the time of distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in its reasonable discretion) which would have been distributed to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such distribution. 5.4 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Warrant Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5, the Corporation shall forthwith file, at the principal office of the Corporation, a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Warrant Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the Corporation's records. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may be included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of subsection 5.5. 5.5 Notice of Record Date. In the event the Corporation shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 5, the Corporation shall give notice to the Holder, in the manner set forth in subsection 5.4, 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 such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Warrant Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon the 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.
