The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth in Section 11 hereof (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to Holder):

(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto; and

(b) Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds or by cashier’s check drawn down on a United States bank made payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, as described in Section 2.2.

2.2 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if, at any time during the Exercise Period, the Current Market Price (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and the Company shall issue to Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Exercise Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by Holder, and the holding period for the Exercise Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the original Date of Issuance.

2.3 Partial Exercise; Fractional Shares. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver in accordance with Section 9, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder or such other person as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise, to

purchase the balance of the Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder. In no event shall this Warrant be exercised for a fractional Exercise Share, and the Company shall not distribute a Warrant exercisable for a fractional Exercise Share. Fractional shares shall be treated as provided in Section 6 hereof.

2.4 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery thereof, unless such tax or charge is imposed by law upon Holder.

2.5 Delivery of Shares. Exercise Shares acquired hereunder shall be delivered to Holder within three (3) Trading Days after any date on which this Warrant shall have been validly exercised in full or in part. The person in whose name any Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was validly exercised, irrespective of the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock, except that, if the date of such valid exercise is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

3.1 Due Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Warrant and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, including the issuance of any Exercise Shares to Holder hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Warrant: (a) does not violate the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (each as amended and in effect); (b) does not contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to the Company; and (c) does not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. This Warrant constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

3.2 Consents and Approvals. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Warrant, except for filings under applicable federal and state securities law, which filings will be effective by the time required thereby.

3.3 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times during the Exercise Period, 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. All Exercise Shares will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

3.4 No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by Holder, the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as such may be amended from time to time), or through any means, 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 the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of Holder against impairment.

4

3.5 Automatic Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent this Warrant remains exercisable as of such date, this Warrant shall be deemed to be fully exercised pursuant to Section 2.2, without the need for any action by Holder or the Company, immediately prior to the end of the Exercise Period.

4. Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by Holder to the extent (but only to the extent) that Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this Section 4, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This Section 4 shall only apply to the initial Holder and shall not apply to any successor Holder of this Warrant unless such successor Holder is an affiliate of the initial Holder. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant. By written notice to the Company, Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

5. Certain Adjustments.

5.1 Certain Adjustments.

(a) Adjustments for Issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(i) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5.1(a), the following definitions apply:

(1) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” means any shares of Common Stock issued (whether from the Company’s treasury or authorized and unissued shares of capital stock) or, as provided in Section 5.1(a)(ii) below, deemed to be issued by the Company after the Closing Date; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not include issuances of Common Stock (including any deemed issuance pursuant to Section 5.1(a) (ii)) which are (A) pursuant to employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements approved by the board of directors of the Company (including any duly authorized committee or delegee thereof), (B) in connection with any acquisition of assets, merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company with another person, or (C) which are subject to Sections 5.1(b) and (c).

(2) “Measurement Date” means, with respect to a transaction, the public announcement of such transaction (or, if no such public announcement is made, the date of issuance).

5

(ii) Deemed Issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities will be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of the issuance of such Convertible Securities; provided, however, that:

(1) No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made upon the subsequent issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(2) To the extent that Additional Shares of Common Stock are not issued pursuant to any such Convertible Security upon the expiration or termination of an unissued, unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security, the Exercise Price will be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect had such Convertible Security (to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination) never been issued; and

(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security, excluding a change resulting from any transaction giving rise to an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.1(b), but including periodic or scheduled accretions or adjustments to a Convertible Security, interest and dividends paid in kind, repricings of the exercise or conversion price of such Convertible Securities or otherwise, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect if, on the date of issuance, such Convertible Security were exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for such changed number of shares of Common Stock.

(iii) Determination of Consideration. The Fair Market Value of the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock will be computed as follows:

(1) Cash and Property. Aggregate consideration consisting of cash, cash equivalents and other property will: (x) insofar as it consists of cash or cash equivalents (including the satisfaction of the liquidated portion of liabilities), be computed at the aggregate amount of cash or cash equivalents received by the Company or paid (or deemed paid, including the satisfaction of liabilities) by or on behalf of the Company excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends; (y) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the Fair Market Value thereof on the Measurement Date; and (3) insofar as it consists of both cash and other property, be the proportion of such consideration so received.

(2) Convertible Securities. The aggregate consideration per share received by the Company for Convertible Securities will be determined by dividing: (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the full and complete exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the full and complete exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

6

(iv) Below Exercise Price Issuance. In the event the Company shall, at any time and from time to time while any of the Warrants are outstanding, issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share, as determined by such consideration’s Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 5.1(a)(iii), less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance (a “Below Exercise Price Issuance”), then, effective immediately upon the date of such Below Exercise Price Issuance, the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such Below Exercise Price Issuance shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Below Exercise Price Issuance by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Below Exercise Price Issuance (on a fully diluted basis, including the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the all Convertible Securities, based on the treasury method) (such number of shares of Common Stock, the “Number of Fully Diluted Shares of Common Stock”); plus (b) (x) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such Below Exercise Price Issuance, divided by (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Below Exercise Price Issuance, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (a) the Number of Fully Diluted Shares of Common Stock, plus (b) the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such Below Exercise Price Issuance.

(v) NASDAQ Savings Clause. If any adjustment pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(iv) results in an adjustment to the number of Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5.1(d) that would require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount permitted to be issued without approval by the Company’s stockholders by the applicable listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Select Market or other Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed, the Company shall, at its option, either (i) obtain the approval of its stockholders with respect to such issuance in accordance with the applicable rules of such Trading Market or (ii) in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock in excess of such limitations, pay cash on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Warrants being exercised in an amount per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such conversion in respect of which such shares would otherwise be required to be delivered to the holders of the exercised Warrants and which are not permitted to be issued and so delivered by such listing standards.

(b) 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 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 pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately upon the effective date of such dividend or distribution, subdivision or combination.

(c) Fundamental Change. If, at any time while any portion of this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Change, then Holder shall thereafter receive, upon exercise of this Warrant following the Fundamental Change, the same amount of securities, cash or property as it would

7

have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Change if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, the holder of the number of Exercise Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”) (in lieu of the Exercise Shares if the Exercise Shares would no longer be outstanding as a result of such Fundamental Change had they been outstanding immediately prior thereto). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Change, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. Any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Change shall issue to Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof and, upon such issuance, this warrant shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to be of further force or effect. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Change is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c).

(d) Number of Exercise Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 5, the number of Exercise Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Exercise Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 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 5, the Company at its expense will within five (5) Business Days compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a notice setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Exercise 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 deliver a copy of each such notice to 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 Change or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction at least 10 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 Holder is given a reasonable 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.

6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current Fair Market Value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

7. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

8. Successors and Assigns. This Warrant applies to, inures to the benefit of and binds the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

9. Transfer; Reissuance of Warrant.

(a) Transfer of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part by the Holder. Holder may transfer (without the need for an opinion of counsel) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares to its Affiliates. If this Warrant is to be transferred in whole or in part, Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with this Section 9), registered as Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Exercise Shares being transferred by Holder and, if less than the total number of Exercise Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 9(d)) to Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Exercise Shares not being transferred. Any attempted transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part not complying with this Section 9 shall be null and void and, in such case, the transferor Holder shall remain the Holder for purposes of this Warrant.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 9(d)) representing the right to purchase the Exercise Shares then underlying this Warrant.

(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 9(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Exercise Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Exercise Shares as is designated by Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, no warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant or Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, each new Warrant (i) shall be issued by the Company within three (3) Trading Days of receiving instructions from Holder in accordance with this Warrant, (ii) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (iii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Exercise Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 9(a) or Section 9(c), the Exercise Shares designated by Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Exercise Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iv) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (v) except as provided in the foregoing clause (iii), shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

All communications shall be sent to the Company and the initial Holder at the addresses set forth in the Credit Agreement and to any successor Holder at such address indicated in writing to the Company by such Holder.

No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder to pay the Exercise Price for any Exercise Shares other than pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant or any liability as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

19. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise its rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, Holder shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights provided under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees, in an action for specific performance, to waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

20. Further Acts. Each of the parties hereto agrees to perform any further acts and execute and deliver any documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Warrant.
