Holder shall have the right, at Holder's option at any time prior to or after the Maturity Date, to convert the then outstanding Loan Amount in whole (but not in part) into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Borrower Common Stock determined by multiplying (i) 1.15 by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the outstanding Loan Amount on the date of conversion and the denominator of which shall be $7.5631 (the "Initial Conversion Price"). 1.1 CONVERSION PROCEDURE 1.1.1 Notice of Conversion. To effect the conversion of this Note into shares of Borrower Common Stock, Holder shall give written notice by hand or by overnight mail, or by mail, postage prepaid, to Maker at its address designated in Section 8 below, of the election to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 1.1. Holder shall surrender this Note contemporaneous with such notice. Such notice shall state therein the -------------------- (1) The Initial Conversion Price shall be the per share closing price for the Borrower Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the date that Maker and Holder publicly announce the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. 6 7 name or names (which shall be the names of the Holders) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Borrower Common Stock are to be issued. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date (which shall be the date of conversion) on which Maker actually receives such notice and this Note, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Borrower Common Stock as of such date. 1.1.2 Delivery of Stock Certificate. As promptly as practicable after the date of conversion of this Note, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, Maker, at its expense, will issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. 1.1.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Borrower Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of Maker issuing any fractional shares to Holder upon the conversion of this Note, Maker shall issue a check payable to Holder for an amount equal to the fractional share times the Initial Conversion Price. 1.1.4 Transfer Taxes. Maker shall pay all taxes which may be payable in respect of the issuance of any shares of Borrower Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of this Note, except that Maker shall not be required to pay any tax imposed in connection with any transfer involving the issuance of a certificate for shares of Borrower Common Stock in any name other than that of the original Holder of this Note; and in such case, Maker shall not be required to deliver any certificate representing the shares of Borrower Common Stock purchased upon conversion until such tax shall have been paid, or it has been established to Maker's satisfaction that no tax is due. 1.2 ADJUSTMENTS. The number of shares of Borrower Common Stock which may be received upon the conversion of this Note shall be subject to change or adjustment from time to time as follows: 1.2.1 Stock Dividends; Stock Splits; Reverse Stock Splits; Reclassifications. In case Maker shall (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution with respect to the Borrower Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Borrower Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding Borrower Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Borrower Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a merger (other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), consolidation or other business combination in which Maker is the continuing corporation), then the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note (assuming it had been converted immediately prior to the record date for each such dividend or distribution or the effective date of each such subdivision or combination) shall be adjusted so that Holder shall thereafter be entitled after the 7 8 completion of each such event to receive the kind and number of shares of Borrower Common Stock or other securities of Maker that Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of each such event had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of each such event or any record date with respect thereto. Each adjustment made pursuant to this Section 1.2.1 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the applicable event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. 1.2.2 Rights; Options; Warrants. If the Merger Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 thereof, and, at the time of such termination, Holder shall be entitled to receive a termination fee under Section 8.5 thereof, and if Maker shall at any time thereafter issue rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities (other than a transaction subject to Section 1.2.1 hereof) to all holders of the Borrower Common Stock, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Borrower Common Stock at a price per share that is lower (at the record date for such issuance) than the Initial Conversion Price, then the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock thereafter issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be determined by adding the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock theretofore issuable upon conversion of this Note to the product of (a) the Cheap Stock Issued (as hereinafter defined), multiplied by (b) the Ownership Ratio (as hereinafter defined). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities are issued, and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities. For purposes of this Section 1.2.2, the term (x) "Cheap Stock Issued" shall be the number of additional shares of Borrower Common Stock offered by Maker for subscription or purchase as described above, minus the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Borrower Common Stock so offered would purchase at the Initial Conversion Price; and (y) "Ownership Ratio" shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock theretofore issuable upon conversion of this Note, and the denominator of which shall be the shares of Borrower Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock theretofore issuable upon the conversion of this Note. Upon the expiration or termination of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities the issuance of which triggered the adjustments referred to in this Section 1.2.2 prior to any exercise thereof, the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock into which this Note shall be converted shall forthwith be readjusted to the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock that would have been issuable had such expired or terminated rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities not been issued by Maker. 1.2.3 Distributions of Debt, Assets, Subscription Rights or Convertible Securities. In case Maker shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of the Borrower Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness of Maker, assets (other than cash dividends payable out of retained earnings or securities (excluding 8 9 those referred to in Sections 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 hereof) (any such evidences of indebtedness, assets, or securities being referred to in this Section 1.2.3 as the "assets or securities"), then in each case Holder, upon the conversion of this Note, shall be entitled to receive in addition to the shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, (a) the assets or securities to which Holder would have been entitled as a holder of Borrower Common Stock if Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to the record date for such distribution, and (b) any interest or distributions on the assets or securities distributed from the distribution date to the date of exercise. At the time of any such distribution, Maker shall either (x) deposit the assets or securities payable to Holder pursuant hereto in trust for Holder with an eligible institution (as hereinafter defined) with instructions as to the investment of such property and any proceeds therefrom so as to protect the value of such property for Holder, or (y) distribute to Holder the assets or securities to which it would be entitled upon exercise and, upon any such distribution pursuant to this clause (y), the provisions of this Section 1.2.3 shall no longer apply to such event. Such election shall be made by Maker by giving written notice thereof to Holder. For purposes of this Section 1.2.3, the term "eligible institution" shall mean a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. 1.2.4 Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Borrower Common Stock of Maker (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock, a change in the par value of the Common Stock or a transaction subject to Sections 1.2.1, 1.2.2 or 1.2.3 hereof) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of Maker with or into another corporation (other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, a merger in which Maker is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Borrower Common Stock of the class issuable upon conversion of this Note or a transaction subject to Sections 1.2.1, 1.2.2 or 1.2.3 hereof) or in the event of any sale, lease, transfer or conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets of Maker as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in each case as a result of which the holders of Borrower Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Borrower Common Stock, then Maker shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that such other corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Maker hereunder, and Holder shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to receive the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock that might have been received upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or 9 10 conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments in respect of such shares of stock and other securities and property that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Note. The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.2.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Borrower Common Stock and to successive changes, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, transfers or conveyances of the nature and type described in the first sentence hereof. In the event that in connection with any such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer or conveyance, additional shares of Borrower Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, as a whole or in part, for, or of, a security of Maker other than Borrower Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Borrower Common Stock covered by the provisions of Section 1.2.1 hereof. 1.2.5 De Minimis Adjustments. Except as provided in Section 1.2.6 hereof with reference to adjustments required by such Section 1.2.6, no adjustment in the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 1.2.5 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest one-thousandth of a share. 1.2.6 Adjustments. In case Maker after the date hereof shall take any action affecting the shares of Borrower Common Stock into which this Note may be converted, other than any action described in Sections 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3 or 1.2.4 hereof, which Maker's Board of Directors, acting in the good faith exercise of its reasonable judgment, determines would have a material adverse effect on the rights of Holder, then the conversion price, the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock into which this Note may be converted and/or the character of the securities receivable upon conversion of this Note may be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action of the directors, acting in the good faith exercise of their reasonable judgment, subject to obtaining all necessary approvals to such adjustment, including, without limitation, any necessary approvals of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which securities of Maker are then listed or quoted. 1.2.7 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock or other stock or property issuable upon the conversion of this Note is adjusted, as herein provided, Maker shall promptly notify Holder of such adjustment or adjustments. 1.3 CONVERSION SHARES SUBJECT TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

REGISTRABLE STOCK. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Registrable Stock" means all Common Stock into which the Bridge Loan Note has been converted and for which the Warrant Agreement has been exercised, and any Common Stock and other securities of the Company that may have been issued to the Investor pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.2 of the Bridge Loan Note and Sections 7 and 8 of the Warrant Agreement. 16 17 2. DEMAND AND FORM S-3 REGISTRATIONS. 2A. REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION. (i) At any time and from time to time for the period (the "Demand Period") that is one (1) year after the later to occur of (x) the date that the Bridge Loan Note is converted, and (y) the date that the Warrant is exercised, the Investor may request an underwritten registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of all or part (but not less than 100,000 shares) of its Registrable Stock (the "Demand Registration"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any request (a "Registration Request") for the Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of shares of Registrable Stock requested to be registered (but not less than a majority of the total number of shares of Registrable Stock then outstanding). (ii) Subject to subsection (i) above and paragraph 2F, the Investor will be entitled to request one (1) Demand Registration at any time during the Demand Period. (iii) A registration will not count as the Demand Registration paid for by the Company (as provided in paragraph 5B) unless the Investor is able to register and sell at least 50% of the Registrable Stock requested to be included in such registration. (iv) The Company will not include in any Demand Registration any securities other than shares of Registrable Stock and securities to be registered for offering and sale on behalf of the Company without the prior written consent of the Investor. If the managing underwriter(s) of the offering to be effected pursuant to the Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of shares of Registrable Stock and, if permitted hereunder, other securities in such offering, exceeds the number of shares of Registrable Stock and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Investor, the Company will include in such registration, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not shares of Registrable Stock, the number of shares of Registrable Stock requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering. 2B. REGISTRATIONS ON FORM S-3. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration of its securities on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms ("Form S-3"). After the Company has so qualified, in addition to the rights set forth in paragraph 2A hereof, at any time and from time to time (but subject to the proviso in paragraph 2B(i) hereof) for the period that is one (1) year after the later to occur of (x) the date that the Bridge Loan Note is converted, and (y) the date that the Warrant Agreement is exercised, the Investor may make a Registration Request for registration of not less than 100,000 shares of the Registrable Stock on Form S-3 (the "S-3 Registration"). Such Registration Request shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Stock proposed to be disposed of and the intended method of distribution of such shares by the Investor. (i) The Investor will be entitled to require the Company to file two (2) registration statements on Form S-3; provided, however, that the Investor may not require the 17 18 Company to file a registration statement on Form S-3 more than once during any calendar year. (ii) A registration will not count as the S-3 Registration paid for by the Company (as provided in paragraph 5B) unless the Investor is able to register and sell at least 50% of the Registrable Stock requested to be included in such registration. (iii) The Company will not include in the S-3 Registration any securities other than shares of Registrable Stock and securities to be registered for offering and sale on behalf of the Company without the prior written consent of the Investor. If the managing underwriter(s), if any, of the offering to be effected pursuant to an S-3 Registration advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of shares of Registrable Stock and, if permitted hereunder, other securities in such offering, exceeds the number of shares of Registrable Stock and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Investor, the Company will include in such registration, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not shares of Registrable Stock, the number of shares of Registrable Stock requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering. 2C. SELECTION OF UNDERWRITER. The Investor or the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Stock proposed to be registered, as the case may be, will have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to manage the offering, subject to the Company's approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the managing underwriter or underwriters shall be the firm or firms that managed the Company's most recently completed underwritten public offering of Common Stock unless the Investor or the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Stock proposed to be registered, as the case may be, shall object to such firm or firms for reasons related to the ability of such firm or firms to effectively manage the offering, and the Company may consent to the selection of such other managing underwriter or underwriters in such event. 2D. DELAYED REGISTRATIONS. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, the Company may delay any Demand Registration or S-3 Registration for a period of not more than sixty (60) days from the date a Registration Request is made upon certification by an executive officer of the Company that such registration might (i) materially interfere with or affect the negotiation or completion of any transaction that is being contemplated by the Company (whether or not a final decision has been made to undertake such transaction) at the time the right to delay is exercised, or (ii) involve initial or continuing disclosure obligations that would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. 2F. TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Investor's right to request a Demand Registration, S-3 Registration or Piggyback Registration (as hereinafter defined) shall terminate at such time as the Investor can sell all of the Registrable Stock in accordance with Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. 3A. RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. If the Company proposes to register any of its 18 19 securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to the Demand Registration, an S-3 Registration, a registration on Form S-4, a registration solely in connection with an employee benefit or stock ownership plan or a shelf registration filed under Rule 415(a)(1)(viii) promulgated under the Securities Act) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Stock, then the Company will give prompt written notice to the Investor of its intention to effect such a registration (the "Piggyback Registration"). Subject to subparagraphs 3B and 3C below, the Company will include in such registration all shares of Registrable Stock which the Investor requests the Company to include in such registration by written notice given to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the date of sending of the Company's notice, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 3. 3B. PRIORITY ON PRIMARY REGISTRATIONS. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the securities proposed to be sold by the Company, (ii) second, any Registrable Stock requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Stock on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration. 3C. PRIORITY ON SECONDARY REGISTRATIONS. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten public offering of equity securities by holders of the Company's securities and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting such registration, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the Registrable Stock requested to be included in such registration pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Stock on the basis of the number of the Registrable Stock owned by each such holder; and (ii) second, securities other than Registrable Stock. 4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. Whenever the Investor has requested that any Registrable Stock be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Stock in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof and will, as expeditiously as possible (subject to the terms hereof): (i) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Stock and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in connection with a Demand Registration or S-3 Registration, as the case may be, the Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the Investor copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel; (ii) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in 19 20 connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than the reasonable time necessary to permit the Investor to complete the distribution described in such registration statement, and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement; (iii) furnish to the Investor such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Stock owned by the Investor; (iv) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Stock under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Stock owned by the Investor, provided that the Company will not be required (i) to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; (v) notify the Investor, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any the Investor, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the Investor, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (vi) use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Stock to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and to be qualified for trading on each system on which similar securities issued by the Company are from time to time qualified; (vii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Stock not later than the effective date of such registration statement and thereafter maintain such a transfer agent and registrar; (viii) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Investor reasonably requests in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Stock; (ix) make available for inspection by any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent 20 21 retained by any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement; (x) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company's first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; (xi) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and (xii) furnish to the Investor a copy, or upon request, a signed counterpart, addressed to the Investor (and the underwriters, if any) of (a) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement (or, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of closing under the underwriting agreement), and (b) a "comfort" letter, dated the effective date of such registration statement (or, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the independent public accountants who have audited the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of the accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other matters as the underwriter may reasonably request. 5.

PAYMENT. The Company shall pay the Registration Expenses in connection with one (1) Demand Registration, or two (2) S-3 Registrations, and any and all Piggyback Registrations. In connection with each Demand Registration, the S-3 Registration and each Piggyback Registration, the Company will reimburse the holders of Registrable Stock covered by 21 22 such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the Investor. 6. INDEMNIFICATION. 6A. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its officers and directors and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's or an underwriter's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder or underwriter with a sufficient number of copies of the same, provided that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Investor unless otherwise provided in the underwriting agreement. 6B. INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS. In connection with any registration statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the Investor and stated to be specifically for use therein, provided that (i) the obligation to indemnify will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Stock pursuant to such registration statement and (ii) the obligations of the Investor hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 6C. NOTICE; DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification, and such indemnifying party will, upon request of the indemnified party, assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified 22 23 party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who assumes the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of separate counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the written opinion of counsel to the indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which case the indemnified party may retain its own counsel (which counsel will be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party) and the fees and expenses of such counsel will be paid by the indemnifying party. 6D. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The obligation to contribute will be limited to the amount by which the net amount of proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Stock exceeds the amount of losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses which the Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such statements or omissions. 6E. SURVIVAL. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. 7. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, provided that the Investor shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties regarding the Investor as are required by the underwriters. 8. MISCELLANEOUS. 8A. NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights 23 24 granted to the holders of Registrable Stock in this Agreement. 8B.

ELTRAX SYSTEMS, INC. Warrant for the Purchase of Shares of Common Stock ________________________, 20___ ____________ Shares FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ELTRAX SYSTEMS, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that CEREUS TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as hereinafter defined) the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Borrower Common Stock, as defined in the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined), as determined pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement and set forth above, at the applicable Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined). All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Bridge Loan and Security Agreement by and between the Company (as Borrower thereunder) and Holder (as Lender thereunder) dated as of June 14, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of June 23, 2000, as the same may be further amended (the 33 34 "Loan Agreement"), except to the extent that such capitalized terms are otherwise defined or limited herein. The number and character of shares of Borrower Common Stock or other securities to be received upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 hereof. For purposes of this Warrant, "Warrant Shares" means the shares of the Borrower Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, as adjusted from time to time. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Borrower Common Stock and Warrant Shares in this Warrant shall, in the event of an adjustment pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, be deemed to refer also to any securities or property then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as a result of such adjustment. Section 1. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised, as a whole or in part, at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day, by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 15 hereof (or at such other address as the Company may hereafter notify the Holder in writing), with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by proper payment of the aggregate applicable Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America in the form of a certified or cashier's check to the order of Eltrax Systems, Inc. or by wire transfer of same day funds, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant of like form evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such Purchase Form, together with the aggregate applicable Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such Purchase Form, at such office, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder, in the name of the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise Price may be paid by surrendering a part of the Warrant having an aggregate Spread equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the portion of the Warrant being exercised. With respect to the Warrant, "Spread" means the Current Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such portion of the Warrant less the Exercise Price of such part of the Warrant, in each case as adjusted as provided herein. Section 2. Exercise Period and Exercise Price. (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable during the period (the "Exercise Period") beginning on the date of execution of this Warrant (the "Initial Exercise Date") and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on a date three (3) years after the Initial Exercise 34 35 Date (the "Termination Date"). (b) "Exercise Price" means $.01 per share of the Borrower Common Stock, subject to adjustment as herein provided. Section 3. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant all shares of the Borrower Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company or other property from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (other than any restrictions on sale pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws) and free and clear of all preemptive rights. Section 4. Exchange, Transfer, Assignment or Loss of Warrant. (a) This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other warrants of different denomination, entitling the Holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares and otherwise carrying the same rights as this Warrant. (b) This Warrant may be divided or combined by the Holder with other warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes any warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or for which it may be exchanged. (c) Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Section 5. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant. Section 6. Antidilution Provisions and Other Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon the exercise hereof shall be subject to change or adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) Stock Dividends; Stock Splits; Reverse Stock Splits; Reclassifications. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution with respect to the Borrower Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Borrower Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding Borrower Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Borrower Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a merger (other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), consolidation or other 35 36 business combination in which the Company is the continuing corporation) the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for each such dividend or distribution or the effective date of each such subdivision or combination shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled after the completion of each such event to receive the kind and number of shares of Borrower Common Stock or other securities of the Company that the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of each such event, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of each such event or any record date with respect thereto. Each adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the applicable event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. (b) Distributions of Debt, Assets, Subscription Rights or Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of the Borrower Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness of the Company, assets (other than cash dividends payable out of retained earnings or securities (excluding those referred to in Section 6(a)) (any such evidences of indebtedness, assets, or securities being referred to in this Section 6(b) as the "assets or securities"), then in each case the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive in addition to the shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, (i) the assets or securities to which the Holder would have been entitled as a holder of Borrower Common Stock if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such distribution and (ii) any interest or distributions on the assets or securities distributed from the distribution date to the date of exercise. At the time of any such distribution, the Company shall either (A) deposit the assets or securities payable to the Holder pursuant hereto in trust for the Holder with an eligible institution (as hereinafter defined) with instructions as to the investment of such property and any proceeds therefrom so as to protect the value of such property for the Holder or (B) distribute to the Holder the assets or securities to which it would be entitled upon exercise and, upon any such distribution pursuant to this clause (B), the provisions of this Section 6(b) shall no longer apply to such event. Such election shall be made by the Company by giving written notice thereof to the Holder. For purposes of this Section 6(b), the term "eligible institution" shall mean a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. (c) De Minimis Adjustments. Except as provided in Section 6(d) with reference to adjustments required by such Section 6(d), no adjustment in the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6(c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest one-thousandth of a share. 36 37 (d) Adjustments. In case the Company after the date hereof shall take any action affecting the Warrant Shares, other than any action described in Sections 6(a) or 6(b) or in Section 7 hereof, which the Company's board of directors, acting in the good faith exercise of their reasonable judgment, determines would have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder, then the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares and/or the character of the securities receivable upon exercise of this Warrant may be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action of the directors, acting in the good faith exercise of their reasonable judgment, subject to obtaining all necessary approvals to such adjustment, including, without limitation, any necessary approvals of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which securities of the Company are then listed or quoted. (e) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock or other stock or property issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such adjustment or adjustments. (f) Adjustments to Exercise Price. The aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not increase or decrease upon any adjustment (pursuant to this Section 6) to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Accordingly, the per share Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable as required not to increase or decrease the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of this Warrant. Section 7. Reclassification. Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of the Borrower Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Borrower Common Stock, a change in the par value of the Borrower Common Stock or a transaction subject to Section 6 hereof) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, a merger in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Borrower Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or a transaction subject to Section 6 hereof) or in the event of any sale, lease, transfer or conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in each case as a result of which the holders of Borrower Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Borrower Common Stock, then the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that such other corporation shall assume all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock that might have been received upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments in respect of such shares of stock and other securities and property that shall be as nearly equivalent 37 38 as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Borrower Common Stock and to successive changes, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, transfers or conveyances of the nature and type described in the first sentence hereof. In the event that in connection with any such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer or conveyance, additional shares of Borrower Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, as a whole or in part, for, or of, a security of the Company other than Borrower Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Borrower Common Stock covered by the provisions of Section 6(a). Section 8. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act. Neither this Warrant, nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest therein, may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, as a whole or in part, except in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities or Blue Sky laws and the terms and conditions hereof. Each Warrant shall bear a legend in substantially the same form as the legend set forth on the first page of this initial Warrant. Each certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such exercise is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), shall bear a legend substantially in the following form: "The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or registered or qualified under the securities or Blue Sky laws of any state. Neither these securities nor any interest or participation therein may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of unless (i) registered under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and in full compliance with the applicable rules and regulations thereunder and applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act or (iii) unless Eltrax Systems, Inc. receives an opinion of counsel for the holder of this certificate, reasonably satisfactory to Eltrax Systems, Inc., stating that such sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other manner of transfer or disposition is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities or Blue Sky law." Any certificate for any Warrant Shares issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate for any Warrant Shares bearing such legend (except a new certificate for any Warrant Shares issued after registration of such Warrant Shares under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Warrant Shares represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restriction contained herein. The provisions of this Section 8 shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of certificates for Warrant Shares bearing the above legend and all subsequent Holders of this Warrant, if any. Warrant Shares sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 12 thereof or sold by the holder thereof in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act shall thereafter cease to be deemed to be "Warrant Shares" for all purposes of this Warrant. Section 9. Listing on Securities Exchanges. On or before the Initial Exercise 38 39 Date, the Company shall list on each national securities exchange on which any Borrower Common Stock may at such time be listed (if required by such exchange), subject to official notice of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Borrower Common Stock from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Company shall maintain, so long as any other shares of the Borrower Common Stock shall be so listed, all shares of Borrower Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of capital stock of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange by the Company. Any such listing shall be at the Company's expense. Section 10. Availability of, information. The Company shall comply with the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act to the extent it is required to do so under the Exchange Act, and shall likewise comply with all other applicable public information reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including those required to make available the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to which it may from time to time be subject. The Company shall also cooperate with the holder of this Warrant and the holder of any Warrant Shares in supplying such information as may be necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting forms currently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 or any successor rule under the Securities Act for the sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive termination of this Warrant, whether upon exercise of this Warrant in full or otherwise until such time as the Warrant Shares have been sold by the Holder or are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k). The Company shall also provide to holders of this Warrant the same information that it provides to holders of the Borrower Common Stock. Section 11. Registration Rights. The Company and the Holder agree that the shares of Borrower Common Stock and other securities (as the case may be) underlying this Warrant shall be subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Holder dated as of June 23, 2000. Section 12. Successors and Assigns.
