Exercise shall be by presentation and surrender to the Company at its principal office, or to the transfer agent of the Company, of this Warrant and the notice and subscription form annexed hereto, executed by the Holder, which shall indicate the number of shares for which the Holder intends to exercise this Warrant, together with payment to the Company in accordance with Section 3 hereof in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise. Upon and as of receipt by the Company (or the transfer agent) of such properly completed and duly executed purchase form accompanied by payment as herein provided, the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then actually be, or have been, delivered to the Holder. The Company and the Holder agree that in the event (i) the Mandatory Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC by the Filing Deadline Date, (ii) the Mandatory Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC by the Mandatory Effectiveness Date or (iii) the Mandatory Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) or usable for the offer and sale of the securities registered thereby for a period of time that shall exceed 3 30 days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period (each of the events of a type described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) are individually referred to herein as an "Event," and the Filing Deadline Date in the case of clause (i), the Mandatory Effectiveness Date in the case of clause (ii), the date on which the duration of the ineffectiveness or unusability of the Mandatory Registration Statement in any period exceeds the number of days permitted by clause (iii), being referred to herein as an "Event Date"), the Warrant will vest at the rate set forth below. Events shall be deemed to continue until the following dates with respect to the respective types of Events: the date the Mandatory Registration Statement is filed in the case of an Event of the type described in clause (i), the date the Mandatory Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act in the case of an Event of the type described in clause (ii), and the date the Mandatory Registration Statement becomes effective or usable again in the case of an Event of the type described in clause (iii). This Warrant shall first become exercisable ("vest") with respect to Warrant Shares commencing on (and including) any Event Date and will cease vesting on (but excluding) the next date on which there are no Events that have occurred and are continuing (a "Vesting Period"). This Warrant will continue to vest at any time, and from time to time, on which an Event has occurred and is continuing until such time as all Warrant Shares have vested. This Warrant will vest only during the Vesting Period and at a daily rate of 1/365th of the Warrant Shares (such that the Warrant will be fully vested if the aggregate number of days during all Vesting Periods is 365 days), but only to the extent that, after giving effect to such vesting, such vesting will not result in the Holder (together with its Affiliates) owning, holding or beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Common Stock (the "Ownership Limit"), and at any time, and from time to time, if the Holder (together with its Affiliates) owns, holds or beneficially owns a percentage less than the Ownership Limit, then this Warrant shall thereafter vest or continue to vest, first with respect to any Warrant Shares that would have vested in accordance with the terms hereof but for the Ownership Limit and second, otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, but in each case, again, only to the extent that, after giving effect to such vesting, such vesting will not result in the Holder (together with its Affiliates) owning, holding or beneficially owning more than the Ownership Limit; provided further that if this Warrant does not vest and become exercisable for any Warrant Shares in accordance with this paragraph, then this Warrant shall become null and void. This Warrant will be exercisable with respect to all vested but unexercised Warrant Shares until the Expiration Date. 2.2 Delivery of Stock Certificates on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, and in accordance with applicable securities laws, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct (subject in all cases, to the provisions of Section 9 hereof), a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value. 2.3 Shares To Be Fully Paid and Nonassessable. All Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and 4 nonassessable, free of all liens, taxes, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (other than those set forth herein). 2.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share of Common Stock called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof. 2.5 Issuance of New Warrants; Company Acknowledgment. Upon any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith and, in any event within three (3) Business Days, issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, registered in the name of the Holder, exercisable, in the aggregate, for the balance of the Warrant Shares. Moreover, the Company shall, at the time of any exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant; provided, however, that if the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to the Holder any such rights. 2.6 Payment of Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay any recording, filing, stamp or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in the Holder's name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant. 3. Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased may be paid (i) in cash, by certified check or by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Company, (ii) by cancellation of indebtedness owing from the Company to the Holder, (iii) by the Holder surrendering a number of Warrant Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to, greater than (but only if by a fractional share) or less than the required aggregate Exercise Price, in which case the Holder shall receive the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled upon such exercise, less the surrendered shares, or (iv) any combination of the methods described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). 4. Adjustment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows: 4.1. Subdivision or Combination of Stock. If at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall subdivide (by way of stock dividend, stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be reduced proportionately and the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest whole share) shall be increased proportionately, and conversely, in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (whether by stock 5 combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be increased proportionately and the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest whole share) shall be decreased proportionately. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 4.1. 4.2 Adjustment for Stock Dividends. If at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any class or series of stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares to be obtained upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or convertible securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 4.2. For the purposes of clarity, no adjustment shall be made with respect to the payment of a dividend of stock purchase rights in connection with the issuance of up to approximately $21.4 million of shares of Common Stock at a per share price of $8.57 pursuant to a follow on rights offering to certain of the Company's existing stockholders, for which the record date for payment of such dividend was December 14, 2004 but such dividend has not yet been paid. 4.3 Adjustments for Reclassifications. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class(es) or series of stock, whether by reclassification or otherwise (other than an adjustment under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 or a merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for under Section 4.4), then and in each such event, the Holder hereof shall have the right thereafter to convert each Warrant Share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Warrant Shares would have been convertible immediately prior to such reclassification or change, all subject to successive adjustments thereafter from time to time pursuant to and in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 4. 4.4 Adjustments for Merger or Consolidation. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other Person, or (c) sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets or more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company (whether issued and outstanding, newly issued, from treasury, or any combination thereof) to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the consolidation or merger, sale or transfer, or dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided in Section 2.1 hereof at any time or from time to time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such consummation or such effective date, as the case may be, the stock and property (including cash) to which the Holder would 6 have been entitled upon the consummation of such consolidation or merger, or sale or transfer, or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if the Holder had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (assuming the payment by the Holder of the Exercise Price therefor as required hereby in a form permitted hereby, which payment shall be included in the assets of the Company for the purposes of determining the amount available for distribution), all subject to successive adjustments thereafter from time to time pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 4. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) the obligation to deliver the stock or property (including cash) as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire. 4.5 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any such transfer) referred to in this Section 4, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such Common Stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the Person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets or more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company (whether issued and outstanding, newly issued or from treasury or any combination thereof), whether or not such Person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant. 4.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 4, this Warrant shall, without any action on the part of the Holder, be adjusted in accordance with this Section 4, and the Company, at its expense, promptly shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company will forthwith send a copy of each such certificate to the Holder in accordance with Section 11.4 below. 5. Registration Rights. The Warrant Shares shall be entitled to registration rights and all other rights as applicable to such shares in accordance with that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, as amended, by and among the Company and the Investors named therein. 6. Notices of Record Date. Upon (a) any establishment by the Company of a record date of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or right or option to acquire securities of the Company, or any other right, or (b) any capital reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, any transfer of 7 all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or the sale, in a single transaction, of a majority of the Company's voting stock (whether newly issued, or from treasury, or previously issued and then outstanding, or any combination thereof), the Company shall mail to the Holder at least ten (10) Business Days, or such longer period as may be required by law, prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (i) the date established as the record date for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, option or right and a description of such dividend, distribution, option or right, (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or sale is expected to become effective and (iii) the date, if any, fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. 7. Exchange of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof (if and to the extent applicable), this Warrant shall be exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for new warrants of like tenor, each registered in the name of the Holder or in the name of such other persons as the Holder may direct (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Each of such new warrants shall be exercisable for such number of Warrant Shares as the Holder shall direct, provided that all of such new warrants shall represent, in the aggregate, the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares and cash, securities or other property, if any, which may be purchased by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of its surrender. 8. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution, or other impairment. 9.

The rights and remedies of the Holder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. The terms of this Warrant may be amended, modified or waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. 13. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and wholly to be performed within the State of Delaware and without giving effect to any principles of conflicts or choice of law that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. 14.
