In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder hereof shall deliver to the Company at its office maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 18: (i) a written notice of such Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, (ii) this Warrant, and (iii) the total purchase price for the shares of Eligible Stock Units being purchased upon such exercise by (a) delivery in cash, by wire transfer or certified or official bank check of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the product of the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Eligible Stock Units being purchased upon such exercise (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”), (b) by delivery of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder having a Current Market Price equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price or (c) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the delivery of a notice to the Company that the Holder is exercising the Warrant without payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price by authorizing the Company to deliver the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant to be determined based upon the following formula:

In the event the Holder of this Warrant elects to exercise this Warrant with respect to less than all of the Eligible Stock Units, the Company shall also return to the Holder this Warrant marked to show the remaining Stock Units eligible to be exercised.

The stock certificate or certificates for Warrant Stock so delivered shall be endorsed with the following legend and shall be in such denominations as may be specified in said notice and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or such other name or names as shall be designated in said notice:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (i) THE OFFER AND SALE IS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (ii) THE OFFER AND SALE IS EXEMPT FROM SECURITIES ACT REGISTRATION.

Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such shares evidenced by such certificate, including to the extent permitted by law and the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the right to vote such shares or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder, as of the time said notice is received by the Company as aforesaid.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 hereof, the Company shall pay all expenses, transfer taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of stock certificates under this Section 2, except that, in case such stock certificates shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder of this Warrant, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes which shall be payable upon the issuance of such stock certificate or certificates shall be paid by the Holder hereof at the time of delivering the notice of exercise mentioned above.

All shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all liens and other encumbrances thereon.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the exercise of this Warrant results in a required issuance of a fraction of a share, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the day of delivery of notice of exercise to the Company shall be paid to the Holder of this Warrant in cash by the Company.

Section 2.Transfer, Division and Combination. This Warrant may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Holder except to the estate of the Holder if the Holder is deceased, a direct family member of the Holder, an Affiliate of the Holder, or a trust organized by the Holder for the benefit of the Holder or a direct family member of the Holder; provided, however, that that the transferee shall be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act (“Transfer Restriction”). Subject to the Transfer Restriction and Section 10, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 18, together with a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder hereof or its agent or attorney and payment of funds sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of the Assignment set out at the end of this Warrant. Upon such surrender and payment the Company shall, subject to this Transfer Restriction and Section 10, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with this Section 3 and Section 10, may be exercised by an assignee for the purchase of shares of Warrant Stock without having a new Warrant issued.

This Warrant may, subject to the Transfer Restriction and Section 10, be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder hereof or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with the preceding paragraph and with the Transfer Restriction and Section 10, as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (other than income taxes, if any, of the transferee) and other charges incurred by the Company in the performance of its obligations in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of Warrants under this Section 3.

The Company agrees to maintain at its aforesaid office books for the registration and transfer of the Warrants.

Section 3.Adjustment of Stock Unit. The number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4 with respect to any fact or event described herein occurring after the date hereof. The Company will not create any class of Common Stock which carries any rights to dividends or assets differing in any respect from the rights of the Common Stock on the date hereof. Anything contained in this Section 4 notwithstanding, any adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 4 shall be made without duplication of an adjustment otherwise required by and made pursuant to another provision of this Section 4 on account of the same facts or events.

5

A.Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time following the Closing Date, the Company shall:

(1)subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

(2)combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately after the happening of any event described in clauses (1) and (2) above shall be adjusted so as to consist of the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock constituting a Stock Unit immediately prior to the happening of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of an event described in clauses (1) and (2) above.

B.Certain Other Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from time to time following the Closing Date the Company shall make any dividend or other distribution of:

(1)cash (other than a cash distribution made as a dividend and payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, that the aggregate of all such dividends paid or declared after the date hereof, does not exceed the consolidated net income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries earned subsequent to the date hereof determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), or

(2)any evidence of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), or any other property (other than cash and other than Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Common Stock),

then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock at the date of dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock minus the portion applicable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributed and of the fair value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness so distributed. Such fair value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

C.Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue, whether in connection with the merger of a corporation into the Company or otherwise, any Additional Shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted to be that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common

6

Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Warrant Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the consideration per share received by the Company for such Additional Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Subsection, the date as of which the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock shall be computed shall be the date of actual issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. The provisions of this Subsection shall not apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Subsection A of this Section 4.

D.Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall merge or consolidate into another corporation, or shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation and pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, Stock Units each comprising the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation receivable upon or as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such event. If, pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property (including warrants, options or other subscription or purchase rights) are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock in addition to common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, there shall be an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit to that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock at the date of such merger, consolidation or disposition, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock minus the portion applicable to one share of Common Stock of any cash so distributed and of the fair value of any and all such shares of stock, securities or other property. Such fair value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In case of any such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all of the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modification as shall be necessary to provide for adjustments of Stock Units which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations or dispositions of assets.

Section 4.Notice to Warrant Holders.

A.Notice of Adjustment of Stock Unit. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith obtain a certificate signed by the President of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit

7

and, if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4.D, describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock comprising a Stock Unit after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly, and in any case within 10 days after the making of such adjustment, cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder. The Company shall keep at its office or agency, maintained for the purpose pursuant to Section 18, copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder.

B.Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case the Company shall (a) pay any dividend payable in cash or in stock of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, or (b) issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Current Market Price of per share of Common Stock, or (c) effect any reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or (d) effect any capital reorganization, or (e) effect any consolidation, merger or sale, change to the Company’s charter or bylaws, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business, or (f) effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then in each such case, the Company shall promptly give to each Holder of a Warrant, in accordance with Section 18, a notice of such action, which shall specify the date on which any such action was taken, and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and Warrants.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.

Section 6.Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. The Company will not at any time, except (i) upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or (ii) for purposes of declaring and paying a dividend or matters related to voting by shareholders of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.

Section 7.Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay any and all transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which this Warrant is registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.

Section 8.No Voting Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights, or to any rights as a stockholder of the Company.

Section 9.Restrictions on Transferability. The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be transferable only upon compliance with the conditions specified in this Warrant and in

8

compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws in respect of the transfer of any Warrant or any such Common Stock.

Section 10.Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder hereof to purchase shares of Common Stock, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the purchase price or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

Section 11.Agreement. Nothing in this Warrant shall limit or reduce the rights and benefits of the Holder under the Agreement.
