Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants. (a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes and liens, security interest, charges and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever created by or through the Issuer.

(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the -4- 5 exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer. (c) Covenants. The Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers, preferences or relative participating, optional or other special rights of the Common Stock or which would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, security interests, charges, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein or created by the Holders hereof) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows: (a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior -5- 6 thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Section 4 hereof. (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Issuer will not effect any Triggering Event unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto. (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Issuer, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine any shares of Common Stock, (i) in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced (as at the effective date of such subdivision or, if the Issuer shall take a record of holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so subdividing, as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect the increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such subdivision, or (ii) in the case of a combination of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased (as at the effective date of such combination or, if the Issuer shall take a record of holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so combining, as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such combination. (c) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall: (i) Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend in, or make any other distribution to its stockholders (without consideration therefor) of, shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, as at the date the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of the Issuer's Capital Stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the date of such payment or other distribution), to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such record date (or if no such record is taken, then immediately prior to such payment or other distribution), by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution (plus in the event that the -6- 7 Issuer paid cash for fractional shares, the number of additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Issuer issued fractional shares in connection with said dividends); or (ii) Other Dividends. Pay a dividend on, or make any distribution of its assets upon or with respect to (including, but not limited to, a distribution of its property as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital), the Common Stock (other than as described in clause (i) of this subsection (c)), or in the event that the Company shall offer options or rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue any Common Stock Equivalents, to all of its holders of Common Stock, then on the record date for such payment, distribution or offer or, in the absence of a record date, on the date of such payment, distribution or offer, the Holder shall receive what the Holder would have received had it exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the record date of such payment, distribution or offer or, in the absence of a record date, immediately prior to the date of such payment, distribution or offer. (d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Issuer, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or less than the Per Share Market Value then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the greater of the Per Share Market Value then in effect and the Warrant Price then in effect, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. The provisions of this subsection (d) shall not apply under any of the circumstances for which an adjustment is provided in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under this subsection (d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalent if upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent (x) any adjustment shall have been made pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 4 or (y) no adjustment was required pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 4. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under this subsection (d) in an amount less than $.01 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to $.01 per share or more; provided that upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of any dividend or -7- 8 distribution payable in Common Stock or Convertible Securities or the reclassification, subdivision or combination of Common Stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, the foregoing figure of $.01 per share (or such figure as last adjusted) shall be adjusted (to the nearest one-half cent) in proportion to the adjustment in the Warrant Price. (e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Issuer, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Common Stock Equivalent and the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the Warrant Price then in effect or less than the Per Share Market Value then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the Warrant Price or less than the Per Share Market Value in effect at the time of such amendment, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection (d) of this Section 4 on the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of (A) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, and (2) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration received or receivable by the Issuer for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under this subsection (e) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment shall previously have been made in the Warrant Price then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to this subsection (e). If no adjustment is required under this subsection (e) upon issuance of any Common Stock Equivalent or once an adjustment is made under this subsection (e) based upon the Per Share Market Value in effect on the date of such adjustment, no further adjustment shall be made under this subsection (e) based solely upon a change in the Per Share Market Value after such date. (f) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock at a price per share greater than the Per Share Market Value then in effect, then the Warrant Price upon each such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Per Share Market Value; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this subsection (f), the date as of which the Per Share Market Value shall be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual purchase, redemption -8- 9 or acquisition of such Common Stock. For the purposes of this subsection (f), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be a purchase of the underlying Common Stock, and the computation herein required shall be made on the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made, whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on such date. (g) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section 4. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments in the Warrant Price hereinbefore provided in Section 4: (i) Computation of Consideration. The consideration received by the Issuer shall be deemed to be the following: to the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued for a cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor, or if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any compensation, discounts, commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for or in connection with the underwriting thereof or otherwise in connection with the issue thereof; to the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the fair market value of such consideration at the, time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of Capital Stock of the Issuer other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. In any case in which the consideration to be received or paid shall be other than cash, the Board shall notify the Holder of this Warrant of its determination of the fair market value of such consideration prior to payment or accepting receipt thereof. If, within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, the Majority Holders shall notify the Board in writing of their objection to such determination, a determination of the fair market value of such consideration shall be made by an Independent Appraiser selected by the Majority Holders with the approval of the Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), whose fees and expenses shall be paid by the Issuer. (ii) Readjustment of Warrant Price. Upon the expiration or termination of the right to convert, exchange or exercise any Common Stock Equivalent the issuance of which effected an adjustment in the Warrant Price, if such Common Stock Equivalent shall not have been converted, exercised or exchanged in its entirety, the number of -9- 10 shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding by reason of the fact that they were issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any such Common Stock Equivalent shall no longer be computed as set forth above, and the Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Warrant Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent) had the adjustment of the Warrant Price been made in accordance with the issuance or sale of the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock actually issued upon conversion, exchange or issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent and thereupon only the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock actually so issued shall be deemed to have been issued and only the consideration actually received by the Issuer (computed as in clause (i) of this subsection (g)) shall be deemed to have been received by the Issuer. (iii) Outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall (A) not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, and (B) be deemed to include all shares of Class A or Class B common stock outstanding as of such time, all shares of Class A or Class B common stock then issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any then outstanding Common Stock Equivalents or any other evidences of Indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or other Securities which are or may be at any time convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A or Class B common stock or Other Common Stock. (h) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case after the Original Issue Date the Issuer shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections (a) through (g) of this Section 4, inclusive, and the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principle of this Section 4, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances. (i) Adjustment of Warrant Share Number. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately before giving effect to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately after giving effect to such adjustment. (j) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of -10- 11 the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national accounting firms currently known as the "big five" selected by the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the Issuer if the Issuer's calculation of the adjustment was incorrect. 6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with and exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect. 7.
