Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 3 hereof. This Warrant is one of the "Warrants" (collectively, the "Warrants") issued pursuant to the terms of a Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of January 4, 2001 between the Company and the Investors named therein (as amended, restated or modified from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 3 hereof. This Warrant is subject to the following provisions: SECTION 1. Exercise of Warrant. 1A. Exercise Period. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may only be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on January 4, 2006 or, if such day is not a business day, on the next preceding business day (the "Exercise Period"). 1B. Exercise Procedure. (i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when all of the following items have been delivered to the Company (the "Exercise Time"): (a) a completed Exercise Agreement, as described in Section 1C below, executed by the Person exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant (the "Purchaser"); (b) this Warrant; (c) if the Purchaser is not the Registered Holder, an Assignment or Assignments in the form set forth in Exhibit II attached hereto evidencing the assignment of this Warrant to the Purchaser; and (d) a check or wire transfer payable to the Company in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise (the "Aggregate Exercise Price"). (ii) Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser within five days after the date of the Exercise Time. Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company shall prepare a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant which have not expired or been exercised and shall, within such five-day period, deliver such new Warrant to the Person designated for delivery in the Exercise Agreement. (iii) The Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser at the Exercise Time, and the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the Registered Holder of such Warrant Shares at the Exercise Time. (iv) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall from time to time take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the par value per share of the unissued Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect. In the event that the Company fails to comply with its obligations set forth in the foregoing sentence, the Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) purchase Warrant Shares hereunder at par value, and the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the Purchaser for the aggregate amount of consideration paid in connection with such exercise in excess of the Exercise Price then in effect. (v) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Registered Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. (vi) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Preferred Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares which are so issuable shall, when issued and upon the payment of the applicable Exercise Price, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges except those created by actions of the holder hereof. The Company shall take all such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares may be so issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation. 1C. Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company an Exercise Agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit I hereto, except that if the Warrant Shares are not to be issued in the name of the Registered Holder, the Exercise Agreement shall also state the name of the Person to whom the certificates for the Warrant Shares are to be issued, and if the number of Warrant Shares to be issued does not include all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, it shall also state the name of the Person to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the rights hereunder is to be issued. 2 SECTION 2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2. 2A. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. 2B. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other transaction, which in each case is effected in such a way that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "Organic Change." Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as such Registered Holder would have received in connection with such Organic Change if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to such Organic Change. In each such case, the Company shall make appropriate provision with respect to such holder's rights and interests to insure that the provisions of this Section 2 shall thereafter be applicable to this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire. 2C. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company's Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of this Warrant; provided, that no such adjustment shall increase or decrease the number of Warrant Shares obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2. 2D. Notices. (i) The Company shall give written notice to the Registered Holder at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (a) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (b) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation. (ii) The Company shall also give written notice to the Registered Holders at least 20 days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place. SECTION 3.

The date the Company initially issues this Warrant shall be deemed to be the date of issuance hereof regardless of the number of times new certificates representing the unexpired and unexercised rights formerly represented by this Warrant shall be issued. SECTION 7. Exchange. In the event that it becomes unlawful or, in the reasonable judgment of any Registered Holder of this Warrant, unduly burdensome by reason of a change in legal or regulatory considerations or the interpretation thereof affecting the ability of financial institutions or their affiliates to hold equity securities, or any material change (including a reduction in the number of shares of 4 Common Stock outstanding) in the capital structure of the Company, to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares, the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to require all or part of this Warrant or such Registered Holder's Warrant Shares to be exchanged for nonvoting stock or similar interests that convey equivalent economic benefits to such Warrant or Warrant Shares.
