RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2005 (the “Pathmark Warrant Agreement”), by and among Pathmark, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pathmark”), and the Investors, Pathmark issued to the Investors (i) a series of warrants (the “Exchanged Series A Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 10,060,000 shares of the common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Pathmark (the “Pathmark Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $8.50 per share and (ii) a series of warrants (the “Exchanged Series B Warrants” and, together with the Exchanged Series A Warrants, the “Exchanged Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 15,046,350 shares of Pathmark Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share.

WHEREAS, the Company and Pathmark have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into Pathmark (the “Merger”) and each share of Pathmark Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive $9.00 in cash and .12963 shares of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

WHEREAS, Section 3.3(b) of the Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company shall issue warrants to purchase Common Stock to the holders of the Exchanged Warrants on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, at the Effective Time, the Company has agreed to issue, and the Investors have agreed to accept, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (i) in exchange for the Exchanged Series A Warrants, Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 4,657,378 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) at an exercise price of $18.36 per share (subject to adjustment) and (ii) in exchange for the Exchanged Series B Warrants, Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 6,965,858 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) at an exercise price of $32.40 per share (subject to adjustment). The shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.”

WHEREAS, the Warrants will be exercisable solely on a net (i.e., “cashless”) basis.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms of this Agreement, in lieu of issuing Warrant Shares, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to settle all or any portion of exercised Warrants in cash.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Issuance. At the Effective Time, the Company will issue and deliver certificates evidencing the Warrants (the “Warrant Certificates”) to the Investors. Upon the issuance and delivery thereof, Pathmark shall be released from any and all of its obligations under the Pathmark Warrant Agreement with respect to the Exchanged Warrants.

SECTION 2. Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Certificates evidencing the Series A Warrants will be issued substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Warrant Certificates evidencing the Series B Warrants will be issued substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. The Warrant Certificates shall be in registered form only, shall be dated the date of issuance by the Company and may have such additional notations, legends and endorsements as required by law, or the rules and regulations of applicable stock exchanges.

SECTION 3. Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board or its Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President. Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice President, and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who shall have been Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice President, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Warrant Certificates shall be delivered or disposed of he shall have ceased to hold such office. Each Warrant Certificate shall also be manually signed on behalf of the Company by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary under its corporate seal. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.

SECTION 4. Registration. The Company shall number and register the Warrant Certificates in a register as they are issued. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates (the “Holders”) as the absolute owner(s) thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Warrants shall be registered initially in such name or names as the Investors shall designate.

SECTION 5. Restrictions on Transfer; Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. The Warrants (and any Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants) shall not be transferable except in accordance with the terms of that certain Stockholders’ Agreement of even date herewith by and among the Investors and the Company (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”).

-2-

Prior to any proposed transfer of any Warrants, the transferring Holder will deliver to the Company a Certificate of Transfer in the form attached to the Warrant Certificate and, if so requested by the Company, such other information relating to the proposed transfer and the identity of the proposed transferee as the Company may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Warrants may be sold or otherwise transferred in the manner proposed. Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same shall have been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any similar rule or regulation), each Warrant Certificate and any certificates evidencing Warrant Shares shall bear any legend required pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement unless, in the opinion of qualified counsel, such legend is no longer required by the Securities Act.

The Company shall from time to time, subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement, register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificates in a Warrant register to be maintained by the Company upon surrender thereof accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be canceled and disposed of by the Company.

Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the Holder(s) thereof, when surrendered to the Company at its office for another Warrant Certificate or other Warrant Certificates of like series and tenor and representing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants. Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange shall be canceled and disposed of by the Company.

SECTION 6. Warrants; Exercise of Warrants. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder shall have the right, which may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the applicable Exercise Period (as defined below) to receive from the Company, that number (the “Gross Number”) of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares (and such other consideration) which the Holder may at the time be entitled to receive upon the exercise of such Warrants, less that number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient of (a) the product of (i) the Gross Number and (ii) the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect for such Warrants and (b) the Market Price of the Warrant Shares on the business day immediately preceding the date the Warrants are presented for exercise. The exercise price for each Series A Warrant (the “Series A Exercise Price”) shall initially be $18.36 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof. The exercise price for each Series B Warrant (the “Series B Exercise Price”) shall initially be $32.40 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof. Each of the Series A Exercise Price and the Series B Exercise Price may be referred to herein generically as an “Exercise Price.” For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants may be exercised solely on a net basis in the manner set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, and no Investor shall be required, or permitted, to pay any cash in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Each Warrant not exercised during the Exercise Period shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time. No adjustments as to dividends will be made upon exercise of the Warrants, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

-3-

The Series A Warrants shall be exercisable for a period (the “Series A Exercise Period”) commencing on their date of issuance and expiring at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on June 9, 2008. The Series B Warrants shall be exercisable for a period (the “Series B Exercise Period” and, together with the Series A Exercise Period, an “Exercise Period”) commencing on their date of issuance and expiring at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on June 9, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, until June 9, 2014, no Series B Warrant shall be exercisable to the extent that such exercise, when taken together with all other exercises of Series B Warrants during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding such exercise, would result in more than fifty-percent (50%) of the aggregate Series B Warrants issued to Investors having been exercised during such twelve (12) month period, unless the exercise of such Series B Warrant is (i) in connection with or following a Change of Control Event (as defined below) or (ii) pursuant to the exercise by the Holders, as part of a single transaction and on a single date, of all Series B Warrants then outstanding (the “100% Series B Warrant Exercise”).

As used herein, “Change of Control Event” shall mean (i) the acquisition of an interest in the Company by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) as a result of which the holders of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the commencement of such transaction or series of transactions hold less than fifty percent (50%) of the ordinary voting power (on a fully diluted basis) of the surviving or acquiring entity; (ii) the sale to a third party that is not a subsidiary of the Company of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s consolidated assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions; (iii) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (iv) any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) as a result of which any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of a greater number of shares of Common Stock or other voting securities representing the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors of the Company or the surviving or acquiring entity in any such transaction (as the case may be) than Teal and its Affiliates, collectively, beneficially own.

A Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Company (at its office address set forth in Section 13 hereof) of the Warrant Certificate(s) to be exercised with the form of election to exercise attached thereto duly filled in and signed.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, on or prior to the twentieth (20th) business day after exercise and surrender of Warrant Certificates, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to the Holder and in the name of the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants (and such other consideration as may be deliverable upon exercise of such Warrants) together with cash for fractional Warrant Shares as provided in Section 11. If the exercise is settled by the issuance of Warrant Shares, then such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrant Certificates, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares.

-4-

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Warrant shall be exercisable during the Exercise Period, at the election of the Holder thereof, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that fewer than all of the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate are exercised at any time prior to the date of expiration of the Warrants, a new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued and delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section and of Section 3 hereof.

All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be cancelled and disposed of by the Company. The Company shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder available for inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at its office.

In lieu of issuing Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants as set forth above (together with such other consideration as may be deliverable upon exercise of such Warrants), the Company, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to settle all or any portion of exercised Warrants in cash on or prior to the twentieth (20th) business day after the exercise and surrender of the Warrant Certificates.

The amount of cash or other consideration issuable or deliverable upon the exercise of Warrants shall be (i) the Market Prices of the number of Warrant Shares otherwise to be issued pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6 or other consideration to be paid in settlement of any Warrant for the business day immediately preceding the date that the applicable Warrants are exercised and surrendered or (ii) in the case of consideration issuable or deliverable upon the exercise of Warrants for which there is no Market Price, the Current Market Value (as defined below) of such consideration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a 100% Series B Exercise, the Company may elect, by written notice delivered to the Holder at any time during such twenty (20) business day settlement period, to defer the settlement of up to fifty-percent (50%) of the exercised Series B Warrants for up to one (1) year from the date of such exercise; provided, however, that the deferred portion of such settlement (i) shall thereafter be payable only in cash and (ii) shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the U.S. prime rate, as the same may be published under “Money Rates” in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, from and including the twentieth (20^th) business day following the date of exercise of such Series B Warrants until but excluding the date payment of the deferred portion of such settlement, together with all interest accrued thereon, is received by the Holder (the deferred portion of such settlement, together with all interest accrued thereon, “Deferred Cash Amount”). If the Company determines to pay the Deferred Cash Amount, in whole or in part, on a date (an “Early Payment Date”) other than the first (1st) anniversary of such 100% Series B Warrant Exercise, it will so notify the Holder in writing (a “Payment Notice”) at least twenty (20) business days prior to the Early Payment Date, and upon delivery of such Payment Notice, will be irrevocably bound to pay the Deferred Cash Amount on such Early Payment Date.

SECTION 7. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes and other governmental charges (excluding all foreign, federal or state income, franchise, property, estate, inheritance, gift or similar taxes) in connection with the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Certificates hereunder, as well as all such taxes attributable to the initial issuance or

-5-

delivery of any Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any subsequent transfer of the Warrants or any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares in a name other than that in which the Warrants to which such issuance relates were registered, and, if any such tax would otherwise be payable by the Company, no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or it is, established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that any such tax has been paid.

SECTION 8. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant Certificate or certificate evidencing Warrant Shares shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, in exchange and substitution therefor and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate or other certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate or other certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate or other certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants or Warrant Shares.

SECTION 9. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

The Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock and each transfer agent for any shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the Warrants (collectively, the “Transfer Agent”) will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose. The Company shall keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent. The Company will supply the Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available all other consideration that may be deliverable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted to each Holder pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

The Company covenants that all the Warrant Shares and other capital stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants will, upon issue, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.

The Company shall from time to time take all action which may be necessary or appropriate so that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares following an exercise of the Warrants, will be listed on the principal securities exchanges and markets within the United States of America, if any, on which other shares of the same class of Common Stock of the Company are then listed.

SECTION 10. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Issuable. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant (the “Warrant Number”) are subject to adjustment from time to time

-6-

upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in, or as otherwise provided in, this Section 10. The Warrant Number is initially one.


	(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock

	If the Company:

	(1) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock;

	(2) subdivides or reclassifies its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

	(3) combines or reclassifies its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;

	(4) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock other than its Common Stock; or

	(5) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its capital stock;

then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised may receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of the Company which he or it would have owned immediately following such action if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action.

The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

If after an adjustment a holder of a Warrant upon exercise of it may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Company shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. If the occurrence of any event listed above results in an adjustment under subsections (b) or (c) below, no further adjustment shall be made under this subsection (a).

(b) Adjustment for Rights Issue

If the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants (whether or not immediately exercisable) to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Value per share upon exercise

-7-

within 60 days after the record date relating to such distribution, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:


O + N x P
E' = E x M
O + N


where:

	E'	=	the adjusted Exercise Price.

	E	=	the then current Exercise Price.

	O	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for any such distribution.

	N	=	the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.

	P	=	the exercise price per share of such rights, options or warrants.

	M	=	the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record date for any such distribution.

The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the rights, options or warrants. If at the end of the period during which such rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or warrants shall have been exercised, the Exercise Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been if “N” in the above formula had been the number of shares actually issued. No adjustment shall be required under this subsection (b) if at the time of such distribution the Company makes the same distribution to Holders of Warrants as it makes to holders of shares of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrants are exercisable. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this subsection (b) which shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant.

If the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock (i) any evidences of indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any cash or other assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) shares of its capital stock or any other properties or securities or (iv) any rights, options or warrants to acquire any of the foregoing or to acquire any other securities of the Company (the items described in the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv) being collectively referred to as the “Consideration”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

-8-

E' = E x M - F


where:

	E'	=	the adjusted Exercise Price.

	E	=	the then current Exercise Price.

	M	=	the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record date mentioned below.

	F	=	the fair market value on the record date mentioned below of the Consideration distributable to the holder of one share of Common Stock.

The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution. If an adjustment is made pursuant to this subsection (c) as a result of the issuance of rights, options or warrants and at the end of the period during which any such rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all such rights, options or warrants shall have been exercised, the Exercise Price shall be immediately readjusted as if “F” in the above formula was the fair market value on the record date of the indebtedness or assets actually distributed upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date. No adjustment shall be required under this subsection (c) if at the time of such distribution the Company makes the same distribution to Holders of Warrants as it makes to holders of shares of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrants are exercisable. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this subsection (c) which shall be have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant.

This subsection does not apply to any distribution referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 10 or to rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 10.

(d) Current Market Value

“Current Market Value” per share of Common Stock or of any other security (herein collectively referred to as a “Security”) at any date shall be:

(1) if the Security is registered under the Exchange Act, the average of the daily Market Prices for each business day during the period commencing 5 business days before such date and ending on the date one day prior to such date or, if the Security has been registered under the Exchange Act for less than 5 consecutive business days before such date, then the average of the daily Market Prices for all of the business days before such date for which daily Market Prices are available. If the Market Price is not determinable for at least 10

-9-


	business days in such period, the Current Market Value of the Security shall be determined as if the Security was not registered under the Exchange Act; or

	(2) if the Security is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (i) the value of the Security determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and certified in a board resolution, based on the most recently completed arm’s length transaction between the Company and a person other than an Affiliate of the Company in which such determination is necessary and the closing of which occurs on such date or shall have occurred within the six months preceding such date, (ii) if no such transaction shall have occurred on such date or within such six-month period, the value of the Security most recently determined as of a date within the six months preceding such date by an Independent Financial Expert or (iii) if neither clause (i) nor (ii) is applicable, the value of the Security determined as of such date by an Independent Financial Expert.

The “Market Price” for any Security on each business day means: (A) if such Security is listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the closing price, regular way, on such day on the principal exchange on which such Security is traded, or if no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, (B) if such Security is not then listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the last reported sale price on such day, or if there is no such last reported sale price on such day, the average of the closing bid and the asked prices on such day, as reported by a reputable quotation source designated by the Company, or (C) if neither clause (A) nor (B) is applicable, the average of the reported high bid and low asked prices on such day, as reported by a reputable quotation service, or a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, customarily published on each business day, designated by the Company. If there are no such prices on a business day, then the Market Price shall not be determinable for such business day.

“Independent Financial Expert” shall mean a nationally recognized investment banking firm designated by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Warrants (i) that does not (and whose directors, officers, employees and Affiliates do not) have a direct or indirect material financial interest in the Company, (ii) that has not been, and, at the time it is called upon to serve as an Independent Financial Expert under this Agreement is not (and none of whose directors, officers, employees or Affiliates is) a promoter, director or officer of the Company, (iii) that has not been retained by the Company or any Holder or Affiliate of a Holder for any purpose, other than to perform an equity valuation, within the preceding twelve months, and (iv) that, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, is otherwise qualified to serve as an independent financial advisor. Any such person may receive customary compensation and indemnification by the Company for opinions or services it provides as an Independent Financial Expert.

“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person, any other person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such person. For the purposes of this definition, “control,” when used with respect to any person, means the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly,

-10-

whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

(e) When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred

No adjustment in the Exercise Price need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price. No adjustment in the Warrant Number need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 0.5% in the Warrant Number. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, provided that no such adjustment shall be deferred beyond the date on which a Warrant is exercised.

All calculations under this Section 10 shall be made to the nearest 1/1000th of a share.

(f) When No Adjustment Required

If an adjustment is made upon the establishment of a record date or issuance date for a distribution or issuance subject to subsections (a), (b) or (c) hereof and such distribution or issuance is subsequently cancelled, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines to cancel such distribution, to that which would have been in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

(g) Notice of Adjustment

Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Number is adjusted, the Company shall provide the notices required by Section 12 hereof.

(h) When Issuance or Payment May Be Deferred

In any case in which this Section 10 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price and Warrant Number be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date the Warrant Shares and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Warrant Number prior to such adjustment, and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share pursuant to Section 11; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional Warrant Shares, other capital stock and cash upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

(i) Reorganizations

In case of any capital reorganization, other than in the cases referred to in Sections 10(a), (b) or (c) hereof, or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares of other stock or other

-11-

securities or property) (collectively such actions being hereinafter referred to as “Reorganizations”), there shall thereafter be deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant (in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore deliverable) the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have been deliverable upon the exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if such Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization (and assuming, for this purpose, that the Company were not entitled to settle all or any portion of exercised Warrants in cash as provided in Section 6 hereof). In case of any Reorganization, appropriate adjustment, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a duly adopted resolution certified by the Company’s Secretary or Assistant Secretary, shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests of Holders so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon exercise of Warrants.

The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization or other appropriate corporation or entity shall expressly assume, by a supplemental Warrant Agreement or other acknowledgement executed and delivered to the Holder(s), the obligation to deliver to each such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase, and all other obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.

(j) Adjustment in Number of Shares

Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 10, each Warrant outstanding prior to the making of the adjustment in the Exercise Price shall thereafter evidence the right to receive that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained from the following formula:


N' = N x	E
	E'


where:

	N'	=	the adjustment number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, assuming for this purpose that exercise required the payment of the adjusted Exercise Price.

	N	=	the number of Warrant Shares previously issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, assuming for this purpose that exercise required the payment of the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

	E'	=	the adjusted Exercise Price.

	E	=	the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

-12-

(k) Form of Warrants

Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

(l) Adjustments in Other Securities

If as a result of any event or for any other reason, any adjustment is made which increases the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of, or in the conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio applicable to, any outstanding securities of the Company that are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock of the Company, then a corresponding adjustment shall be made hereunder to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, but only to the extent that no such adjustment has been made pursuant to Sections 10(a), (b) or (c) hereof with respect to such event or for such other reason.

(m) Tender Offers; Exchange Offers

In the event that the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or an exchange offer for a price per share of Common Stock that is greater than the then Current Market Value per share of shares of Common Stock in effect at the end of the trading day immediately following the day on which such tender offer or exchange offer expires, then the Company, or such subsidiary of the Company, shall, within (10) business days of the expiry of such tender offer or exchange offer, offer to purchase the Warrants for comparable consideration per share of Common Stock based on the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holders of such Warrants would receive upon exercise of such Warrants (the “Offer”) (such amount less the Exercise Price in respect of such share, the “Per Share Consideration”); provided, however, if a tender offer is made for only a portion of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then such offer shall be made for such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in the same pro rata proportion; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to make such an Offer if the Per Share Consideration is an amount less than the then-existing Exercise Price per share.

The Offer shall remain open for a period of twenty (20) business days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five (5) business days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase such Warrants for the applicable Per Share Consideration.

(n) Other Events

If any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 10 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would have the effect of depriving holders of the benefit of all or a portion of the exercise rights in respect of any Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of this Section 10, then, in each such case, the

-13-

Company shall appoint an Independent Financial Expert, which shall give its opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 10 necessary to preserve, without dilution, such exercise rights. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holders and shall make the adjustments described therein.

(o) Miscellaneous

For purpose of this Section 10 the term “shares of Common Stock” shall mean (i) shares of any class of stock designated as Common Stock of the Company at the date of this Agreement, and (ii) shares of any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassification of such shares consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 10, the holders of Warrants shall become entitled to purchase any securities of the Company other than, or in addition to, shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number or amount of such other securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in subsections (a) through (n) of this Section 10, inclusive, and the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 9 and 11 with respect to the Warrant Shares or the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other securities.

SECTION 11. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of the Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of the Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 11, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of the Warrant Share on the business day immediately preceding the exercise of such Warrants, multiplied by such fraction.

SECTION 12. Notices to Warrant Holders. Upon any adjustment pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall promptly thereafter (i) cause to be filed with the Company a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the Warrant Number and Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based, and (ii) cause to be given to each of the registered Holders of the Warrant Certificates at his or its address appearing on the Warrant register written notice of such adjustments by first class mail, postage prepaid. Where appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and included as a part of the notice required to be mailed under the other provisions of this Section 12.

In case:


	(a) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of shares of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or warrants; or

-14-


	(b) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock of assets, including, without limitation, cash, evidences of its indebtedness, or other securities; or

	(c) of any reclassification, reorganization, consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety, or of any reclassification or change of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock; or

	(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or

	(e) the Company proposes to take any action that would require an adjustment to the Warrant Number or the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 10 hereof;

then the Company shall cause to be given to each of the registered Holders of the Warrant Certificates at his or its address appearing on the Warrant register, at least 20 days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or at least 20 days prior to the date of the event in the case of events for which there is no record date, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice of (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants or distribution are to be determined, or (ii) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, or (iii) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, the date on which liquidation or winding up is expected (to the extent reasonably determinable) to become effective or consummated and the date as of which it is expected (to the extent reasonably determinable) that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable thereupon . The failure to give the notice required by this Section 12 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant, reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders of Warrants (prior to the exercise of such Warrants) the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of Directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company.

SECTION 13. Notices to the Company and Warrant Holders. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made by hand delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery:

	(b) if to the Company, at Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx.

	(b) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement pursuant to Section 16 hereof, the Company may thereafter from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any Holders of Warrant Certificates in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not in any way adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Warrant Certificates. An amendment or supplement to this Warrant Agreement that has an adverse effect on Holders of Warrants shall require the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Warrants excluding Warrants held by the Company.

SECTION 15. Successors and Assigns. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company shall bind and inure to the benefit of its respective successors and permitted assigns hereunder.

SECTION 16. Effectiveness. Except for this Section 16 and Sections 13, 14(a), 15, 17(a), 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 hereof, which shall be come effective as of the date hereof, this Agreement shall become effective only upon the Effective Time.
