      2. (a) Warrants and Warrant Shares Not Registered; Transferee
Restrictions. Each Holder, by acceptance thereof, represents and acknowledges
that the offer and sale of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares which may be
purchased upon exercise of this Warrant are not being registered under the
Securities Act, that the issuance of this Warrant and the offering and sale of
such Warrant Shares are being made in reliance on the exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any
public offering and that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated
in part on the representations made by the initial Holder of this Warrant to the
Company that such Holder (i) is acquiring this Warrant for investment purposes
for its own account, with no present intention of reselling or otherwise
distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act, subject, nevertheless,
to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all
times be within its control, (ii) is an "accredited investor" as defined in
Regulation D under the Securities Act and (iii) has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the investments made or to be made in connection with
the acquisition and exercise of this Warrant. Neither this Warrant nor the
related Warrant Shares may be transferred except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or upon the conditions specified
in Section 2(b).

      (b) Notice of Transfer, Opinion of Counsel. Each Holder, by acceptance
hereof, agrees that prior to the disposition of this Warrant or of any Warrant
Shares, other than pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities
Act, such Holder will give written notice to the Company expressing such
Holder's intention to effect such disposition and describing briefly such
Holder's intention as to the manner in which this Warrant or the Warrant Shares
theretofore issued or thereafter issuable upon exercise hereof, are to be
disposed together with an opinion of counsel as may be designated by such Holder
and reasonably satisfactory to the Company as to the necessity or non-necessity
of registration under the Securities Act. If in the opinion of such counsel, the
proposed disposition does not require registration under the Securities Act of
the disposition of this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares issuable or issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant, such Holder shall be entitled to dispose of
this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares theretofore issued upon the exercise
hereof, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such Holder
to the Company. The Company is entitled to rely on the most recent written
notice from the Holder with respect to the ownership of the Warrant.

        (a) The Company hereby represents and warrants that:

                  (A) The Company has full corporate power and authority to

            (b) The Company covenants and agrees that:

                  (A) Reservation of Shares. During the period within which the
            rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company
            will have at all times authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
            issue or transfer upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this
            Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of the Common Stock to
            provide therefore

                  (B) Issuance of Shares. The Warrant Shares issued pursuant to
            the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and
            validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and the holder of such

            thereof.

            procure at its sole expense the listing of all Warrant Shares then
            registered for public sale (subject to issuance or notice of
            issuance) on all stock exchanges on which the shares of Common Stock
            are then listed.

      4.    Participation in Distributions of Common Stock and Certain
            Adjustments.

      Under certain conditions, the Aggregate Number is subject to adjustment as
set forth in this Section 4. No adjustments shall be made under this Section 4
as a result of the issuance by the Company of the Warrant Shares upon exercise
of this Warrant.

      (a) Adjustments. The Aggregate Number, after taking into consideration any
prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4, shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows and, thereafter, as adjusted, shall be deemed to be
the Aggregate Number hereunder. No adjustment shall be made under this Section
4(a) upon the issuance of Convertible Securities or Common Stock issuable upon
exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities if an adjustment shall
previously have been made upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities
pursuant to Section 4(c).

                        (i) Stock Dividends; Subdivisions and Combinations. In
                  case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:

                  (A) issue to the holders of the Common Stock a dividend
            payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock (a "Stock
            Dividend"),


                                       4



                  (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
            larger number of shares of Common Stock, including without
            limitation by means of a stock split (a "Stock Subdivision"), or

                  (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
            smaller number of shares of Common Stock (a "Stock Combination"),

            then the Aggregate Number in effect immediately prior thereto shall
            be (1) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Dividend or
            a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately decreased in the case of
            a Stock Combination. In the event the Company shall declare or pay,
            without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in
            any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the
            Company shall be deemed to have made a Stock Dividend in an amount
            of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon
            exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

                        (ii) Other Distributions. In case at any time or from
                  time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of
                  the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
                  any dividend or other distribution, other than a distribution
                  of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or options, warrants
                  or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Convertible
                  Securities (collectively, a "Distribution"), of:

                  (A) Cash (other than regular quarterly dividends payable out
            of current consolidated earnings);

                  (B) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its
            Capital Stock (other than Common Stock) or any other securities or
            property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash); or

                  (C) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
            purchase any of the following: any evidences of its indebtedness,
            any shares of its Capital Stock (other than Common Stock) or any
            other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than
            cash),

            then the Holder shall be entitled to receive such Distribution as if
            the Holder had fully exercised this Warrant upon the exercise of
            this Warrant at any time on or after the taking of such record, the
            number of Warrant Shares to be received upon exercise of this
            Warrant determined as stated herein and, in addition and without
            further payment, the cash, evidences of indebtedness, stock,
            securities, other property, options, warrants and/or other rights
            (or any portion thereof) to which the Holder would have been
            entitled by way of such Distribution and subsequent dividends and
            distributions through the date of exercise as if such Holder (x) had
            fully exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Distribution
            and (y) had retained the Distribution in respect of the Common Stock
            and all subsequent dividends and distributions of any nature
            whatsoever in respect of any stock or


                                       5



            securities paid as dividends and distributions and originating
            directly or indirectly from such Common Stock.

                  A reclassification of the Common Stock into shares of Common
            Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a
            Distribution by the Company to the holders of the Common Stock of
            such shares of such other class of stock and, if the outstanding
            shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller
            number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification,
            such event shall be deemed a Stock Subdivision or Stock Combination,
            as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within
            the meaning of Section 4(a)(i) hereof.

                        (iii) Issuance of Common Stock. If at any time or from
                  time to time the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided
                  in this Section 4(a)(iii)) issue or sell any additional shares
                  of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the
                  Fair Market Value, then, effective on the date specified
                  below, the Aggregate Number shall be adjusted by multiplying
                  (A) the Aggregate Number immediately prior thereto by (B) a
                  fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the
                  number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
                  to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock
                  (calculated on a Fully Diluted basis) and the number of such
                  additional shares of Common Stock so issued and the
                  denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares
                  of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance
                  of such additional shares of Common Stock (calculated on a
                  Fully Diluted basis) and the number of shares of Common Stock
                  which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such
                  additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at
                  the Fair Market Value. The date as of which the Fair Market
                  Value shall be computed shall be the earlier of the date on
                  which the Company shall enter into a firm contract or
                  commitment for the issuance of such additional shares of
                  Common Stock or the date of actual issuance of such additional
                  shares of Common Stock.

      The provisions of this Section 4(a)(iii) shall not apply to any issuance
of additional shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is otherwise
provided under Section 4(a)(i) hereof. No adjustment of the Aggregate Number
shall be made under this Section 4(a)(iii) upon:

                  (A) the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock
            which are issued pursuant to (x) the exercise of other subscription
            or purchase rights or (y) the exercise of any conversion or exchange
            rights in any Convertible Securities, provided that for purposes of
            clauses (x) or (y) an adjustment shall previously have been made
            upon the issuance of such other rights or upon the issuance of such
            Convertible Securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) or (v) hereof or
            no such adjustment shall have been required upon the issuance of
            such other rights or Convertible Securities;


                                       6



                  (B) the issuance of Common Stock in any merger or other
            acquisition of a business or Person approved by the Board of
            Directors of the Company;

                  (C) the issuance of Common Stock in a Qualified Public
            Offering;

                  (D) the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of rights
            issued in connection with the contemplated rights offering by the
            Company for the purpose of the redemption of the Series A
            Subordinated Convertible Notes and Series B Subordinated Convertible
            Notes issued by the Corporation (collectively, the "Subordinated
            Convertible Notes"), prior to the first anniversary of the issuance
            of the Subordinated Convertible Notes;

                  (E) the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock
            issuable to unions of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., in transactions
            approved by the Board of Directors of the Company;

                  (F) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise
            of stock options or other awards made or denominated in shares of
            Common Stock under the Company's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan or any of
            the Company's other stock plans including any stock option, stock
            purchase, restricted stock or similar plan hereafter adopted by the
            Board of Directors of the Company and, if required by applicable law
            or stock exchange requirement, approved by the stockholders of the
            Company;

                  (G) the issuance of Common Stock on exercise or conversion of
            Convertible Securities outstanding on the Closing Date; or

                  (H) the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to Convertible
            Securities to financial institutions or similar entities in
            transactions approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, the
            principal purpose of which is not raising capital through the sale
            of equity securities.

                        (iv) Warrants and Options. If at any time or from time
                  to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of the
                  Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
                  distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly, by
                  assumption in a merger in which the Company is the surviving
                  corporation and in which the shareholders of the Company
                  immediately prior to the merger continue to own more than
                  fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Common Stock
                  immediately after the merger and for a period of one hundred
                  eighty (180) days thereafter, or otherwise) issue or sell any
                  warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or
                  purchase, directly or indirectly, any Convertible Securities,
                  whether or not the rights to subscribe, purchase, exchange or
                  convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the
                  consideration per share for which additional shares of Common
                  Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to


                                       7



                  such warrants, options or other rights or pursuant to the
                  terms of such Convertible Securities shall be less than the
                  Fair Market Value, then the Aggregate Number shall be adjusted
                  as provided in Section 4(a)(iii) hereof on the basis that (A)
                  the maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock
                  issuable pursuant to all such warrants, options or other
                  rights or necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of
                  all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been
                  issued as of the date of the determination of the Fair Market
                  Value as hereinafter provided and (B) the aggregate
                  consideration for such maximum number of additional shares of
                  Common Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration
                  received and receivable by the Company for the issuance of
                  such additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms
                  of such warrants, options or other rights or such Convertible
                  Securities. For purposes of this Section 4(a)(iv), the
                  effective date of such adjustment and the date as of which the
                  Fair Market Value shall be computed shall be the earliest of
                  (x) the date on which the Company shall take a record of the
                  holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them
                  to receive any such warrants, options or other rights, (y) the
                  date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract or
                  commitment for the issuance of such warrants, options or other
                  rights and (z) the date of actual issuance of such warrants,
                  options or other rights.

            No adjustment of the Aggregate Number shall be made under this
            Section 4(a)(iv) upon:

                  (A) the issuance of any warrants, options or other rights
            which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants, options
            or other rights if an adjustment shall have been made or is
            contemporaneously made or if no such adjustment shall have been
            required upon the issuance of such warrants, options or other
            rights, pursuant to this Section 4(a)(iv);

                  (B) the issuance of warrants, options or other rights to

                  (C) the issuance of warrants, options or other rights to
            subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or other awards
            made or denominated in shares of Common Stock under the Company's

            including any stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock or
            similar plan hereafter adopted by the Board of Directors of the
            Company and, if required by applicable law or stock exchange
            requirement, approved by the stockholders of the Company;

                  (D) the issuance of rights to purchase Common Stock issued in
            connection with the contemplated rights offering by the Company for
            the purpose of the redemption of the Subordinated Convertible Notes,
            prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of the Subordinated
            Convertible Notes; or


                                       8



                  (E) the issuance of options, warrants or other rights to
            subscribe for or purchase Convertible Securities to financial
            institutions or similar entities in transactions approved by the

            not raising capital through the sale of equity securities.

                        (v) Convertible Securities. If at any time or from time
                  to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of the
                  Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
                  distribution of or shall in any manner (whether directly, by
                  assumption in a merger in which the Company is the surviving
                  corporation and in which the shareholders of the Company
                  immediately prior to the merger continue to own more than
                  fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Common Stock
                  immediately after the merger and for a period of one hundred
                  eighty (180) days thereafter, or otherwise) issue or sell
                  Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange
                  or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the
                  consideration per share for the additional shares of Common
                  Stock which may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to
                  the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be less than
                  the Fair Market Value, then the Aggregate Number shall be
                  adjusted as provided in Section 4(a)(iii) hereof on the basis
                  that (A) the maximum number of additional shares of Common
                  Stock necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all
                  such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been
                  issued as of the date of the determination of the Fair Market
                  Value as herein provided and (B) the aggregate consideration
                  for such maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock
                  shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration received and
                  receivable by the Company for the issuance of such additional
                  shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such
                  Convertible Securities. For purposes of this Section 4(a)(v),
                  the effective date of such adjustment and the date as of which
                  the Fair Market Value shall be computed shall be the earliest
                  of (x) the date on which the Company shall take a record of
                  the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
                  them to receive any such Convertible Securities, (y) the date
                  on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract or
                  commitment for the issuance of such Convertible Securities and
                  (z) the date of actual issuance of such Convertible
                  Securities.

            No adjustment of the Aggregate Number shall be made under this
      Section 4(a)(v) upon:

                  (A) the issuance of any Convertible Securities which are
            issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants, options or other
            subscription or purchase rights if an adjustment shall previously
            have been made or is contemporaneously made or if no such adjustment
            shall have been required upon the issuance of such warrants, options
            or other rights pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) hereof;


                                       9



                  (B) the issuance of Convertible Securities in any merger or
            other acquisition of a business or Person approved by the Board of
            Directors of the Company;

                  (C) the issuance of Convertible Securities upon the exercise,
            conversion or the extension of the term of Convertible Securities
            outstanding on the Closing Date or the cancellation and reissuance
            with identical terms and conditions except for a longer term of any
            such Convertible Securities outstanding on the Closing Date; or

                  (D) the issuance of Convertible Securities to financial
            institutions or similar entities in transactions approved by the
            Board of Directors of the Company, the principal purpose of which is
            not raising capital through the sale of equity securities.

                        (vi) Subsequent Adjustments. If at any time after any
                  adjustment of the Aggregate Number shall have been made
                  pursuant to Section 4(a) (iv) or (v) hereof on the basis of
                  the issuance of warrants, options or other rights or the
                  issuance of Convertible Securities, or after any new
                  adjustments of the Aggregate Number shall have been made
                  pursuant to this Section 4(a)(vi), then:

                  (A) such warrants, options or rights or the right of
            conversion or exchange in such Convertible Securities shall expire,
            and all or a portion of such warrants, options or rights, or the
            right of conversion or exchange in respect of all or a portion of
            such Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been
            exercised prior to such expiration, then

                  (B) such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled
            and the additional shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have
            been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with
            such adjustment shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by
            virtue of such computation;

                  (C) simultaneously therewith, a recomputation shall be made of
            the effect of such warrants, options or rights or Convertible
            Securities on the determination of the Aggregate Number, which shall
            be made on the basis of treating the number of additional shares of
            Common Stock, if any, theretofore actually issued pursuant to any
            previous exercise of such warrants, options or rights or such right
            of conversion or exchange as having been issued on the date or dates
            of such exercise and, in the case of a recomputation of a
            calculation originally made pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) or (v), for
            the consideration actually received and receivable therefor;

                  and, if and to the extent called for by the foregoing
            provisions of Section 4(a)(vi) on the basis aforesaid, a new
            adjustment of the Aggregate Number shall be made, such new
            adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and
            annulled.


                                       10



                        (vii) Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be
                  applicable to the making of adjustments of the Aggregate
                  Number provided above in this Section 4(a):

                  (A) Whenever the Aggregate Number is adjusted pursuant to this
            Section 4(a), the Warrant Purchase Price per Warrant Share payable
            upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the
            Warrant Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a
            fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Aggregate Number prior
            to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the
            Aggregate Number following such adjustment.

                  (B) The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of
            Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company or
            any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed an issuance thereof for the
            purposes of this Section 4(a).

                  (C) To the extent that any additional shares of Common Stock
            or any Convertible Securities or any warrants, options or other
            rights to subscribe for or purchase any Convertible Securities (1)
            are issued solely for cash consideration, the consideration received
            by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash
            received by the Company therefor or (2) are offered by the Company
            for subscription, the consideration received by the Company shall be
            deemed to be the subscription price, in any such case excluding any
            amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued or
            accumulated dividends. To the extent that such issuance shall be for
            a consideration other than cash, or partially for cash and partially
            for other consideration, then the amount of such consideration shall
            be deemed to be the fair market value of such other consideration
            plus, if applicable, the amount of such cash at the time of such
            issuance, determined in the manner set forth in Section 4(d)(ii). In
            case any additional shares of Common Stock or any Convertible
            Securities or any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for
            or purchase any Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection
            with any merger in which the Company is the survivor and issues any
            securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to
            be the fair market value of such additional shares of Common Stock,
            Convertible Securities, warrants, options or other rights, as the
            case may be, determined in the manner set forth in Section 4(d)(ii).

                  The consideration for any shares of Common Stock issuable
            pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be equal
            to (x) the consideration received by the Company for issuing any
            warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such
            Convertible Securities, plus (y) the consideration paid or payable
            to the Company in respect of the subscription for or purchase of
            such Convertible Securities, plus (z) the consideration, if any,
            payable to the Company upon the exercise of the right of conversion
            or exchange of such Convertible Securities.


                                       11



                  In case of the issuance at any time of any additional shares
            of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction
            of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock,
            the Company shall be deemed to have received for such additional
            shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration
            equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.

                  (D) The adjustments required by the preceding paragraphs of
            this Section 4(a) shall be made whenever and as often as any
            specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no
            adjustment of the Aggregate Number that would otherwise be required
            shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than
            one percent (1%) of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
            exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment. Any
            adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount
            (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and made as soon as
            such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this
            Section 4(a) and not previously made, would result in a minimum
            adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event
            shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the
            date of its occurrence.

                  (E) In computing adjustments under this Section 4(a),
            fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to
            the nearest one-thousandth of a share.

                  (F) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of the
            Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend
            or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
            thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders thereof,
            legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend,
            distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment
            shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any
            such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be
            rescinded and annulled.

      (b) Changes in Common Stock. In case at any time the Company shall
initiate any transaction or be a party to any transaction (including, without
limitation, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, lease or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, liquidation,
recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock) in connection with
which the previous outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged
for different securities of the Company or Capital Stock or other securities of
another corporation or interests in a non-corporate entity or other property
(including cash) or any combination of the foregoing (each such transaction
being herein called a "Transaction"), then, as a condition of the consummation
of the Transaction and without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to
Section 4(a)(i), lawful, enforceable and adequate provision shall be made so
that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant at
any time on or after the consummation of the Transaction, in lieu of the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the securities or
other property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled
upon consummation of the Transaction if such Holder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior thereto (subject to adjustments from and after the
consummation date as nearly


                                       12



equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4). The
foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) shall similarly apply to successive
Transactions.

      (c) Other Action Affecting Capital Stock. In case at any time or from time
to time the Company shall take any action of the type contemplated in Section
4(a) or (b) hereof but not expressly provided for by such provisions (other than
the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights
with equity features) other than cash bonuses, then, unless in the opinion of
the Company's Board of Directors such action will not have a material adverse
effect upon the rights of the Holder (taking into consideration, if necessary,
any prior actions which the Company's Board of Directors deemed not to
materially adversely affect the rights of the Holder), the Aggregate Number
shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Company's Board of
Directors may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

      (d) Notices.

                  (i) Notice of Proposed Actions. In case the Company shall
            propose (A) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the
            holders of the Common Stock or to make any other distribution to the
            holders of the Common Stock, (B) to offer to the holders of the
            Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Convertible
            Securities or additional shares of Common Stock or shares of stock
            of any class or any other securities, warrants, rights or options,
            (other than the exercise of pre-emptive rights by such a holder) (C)
            to effect any reclassification of the Common Stock, (D) to effect
            any recapitalization, stock subdivision, stock combination or other
            capital reorganization, (E) to effect any consolidation or merger,
            share exchange, or sale, lease or other disposition of all or
            substantially all of its property, assets or business, (F) to effect
            the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or (G) to
            effect any other action which would require an adjustment under this
            Section 4, then in each such case the Company shall give to the
            Holder written notice of such proposed action, which shall specify
            the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such
            stock dividend, stock subdivision, stock combination, distribution
            or rights, or the date on which such reclassification,
            recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger, share
            exchange, sale, lease, transfer, disposition, liquidation,
            dissolution, winding up or other transaction is to take place and
            the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if
            any such date is to be fixed, or the date on which the transfer of
            Common Stock is to occur, 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 on the Aggregate
            Number after giving effect to any adjustment which will be required
            as a result of such action. Such notice shall be so given in the
            case of any action covered by clause (A) or (B) above at least ten
            (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of the
            Common Stock for purposes of such action and, in the case of any
            other such action, at least ten (10) days prior to the earlier of
            the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of
            participation therein by the holders of Common Stock.


                                       13



                  (ii) Adjustment Notice. Whenever the Aggregate Number is to be
            adjusted pursuant to this Section 4, unless otherwise agreed by the
            Holder, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty
            (20) Business Days after the event requiring the adjustment) prepare
            a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company,
            setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
            adjustment and the method by which such adjustment is to be
            calculated. The Company shall keep at its principal office copies of
            all such certificates and cause the same to be available for
            inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder
            or any prospective purchaser of the Warrant (in whole or in part) if
            so designated by the Holder.

      5. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, share exchange, dissolution or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms of this Warrant, including, without limitation, the adjustments
required under Section 4 hereof, and will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or
other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary (including
by way of implication), the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any
shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the
amount payable therefor on such exercise or (b) will take all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate so that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this
Warrant.

      6. Definitions. The terms defined in this Section 6, whenever used in this
Warrant, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the respective
meanings hereinafter specified:

            (a) "Aggregate Number" shall have the meaning set forth in the
      recitals hereto.

            (b) "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday
      or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are
      authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

            (c) "Capital Stock" shall mean (a) with respect to any Person that
      is a corporation, any and all shares, interests or equivalents in capital
      stock (whether voting or nonvoting, and whether common or preferred) of
      such corporation, and (b) with respect to any Person that is not a
      corporation, any and all partnership, membership, limited liability
