ARTICLE I
Exercise of Warrants
1.1. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be immediately exercisable
---------------
in whole or in part until 5:00 p.m. local time in New York, New York on
September 25, 2001 (the "Expiration Date").
1.2. Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of Article III of
------------------
this Warrant, to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall
deliver to the Company at the address specified in Section 6.9 hereof: (i) a
written notice, substantially in the form of the Exercise Notice appearing at
the end of this Warrant, of its election to exercise this Warrant, which notice
shall specify the number of Warrant Shares and Endo Warrants to be purchased,
(ii) a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company in
an amount equal to the aggregate current Exercise Price of the number of Warrant
Shares of Common Stock and number of Endo Warrants being purchased, as adjusted
as provided in Article II hereof, and (iii) this Warrant. The Company shall as
promptly as practicable, and in any event within 20 days after receipt by the
Company of such notice, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered, in accordance with said notice, a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares and of Endo Warrants,
specified in such notice, issued in the name of the Holder. Such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued to the Holder, and the Holder
shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of such
shares as of the date notice and payment is received by the Company. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall at the time of
delivery of said certificate or certificates deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares and
Endo Warrants, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to
this Warrant or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation shall be
made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
1.3. Warrant Shares Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares issued upon the
-------------------------
exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
ARTICLE II
Distributions, Reorganizations, Conversion and Mergers
2.1. Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, etc. If, prior to the
---------------------------------------
expiration of this Warrant, there is any stock dividend on or stock split or
other reclassification of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, or other
distribution thereon other than ordinary cash dividends payable out of earnings
-----
or surplus legally available for dividends, then the number of Warrant Shares
and Endo Warrants subject to this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor shall
be appropriately adjusted to reflect such distribution, reclassification or
stock split.
2.2. Mergers, Consolidations, etc. If, prior to the expiration of
----------------------------
this Warrant, there is any consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to
make adequate provision so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase pursuant to this Warrant (in lieu of the number of Warrant
Shares and Endo Warrants to which he would have been entitled at the time of
such consolidation, merger or sale) the shares of stock or other securities or
property to which such number of shares of Common Stock and the number of Endo
Warrants would have been entitled at that time, and at an aggregate purchase
price equal to the then applicable Exercise Price which would have been payable
in accordance with this Article II if such number of shares of Common Stock and
the number of Endo Warrants had been purchased by exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale.
2.3. Exercisability of the Endo Warrants. If, prior to the expiration
-----------------------------------
of this Warrant, the Endo Warrants become exercisable pursuant to the Endo
Warrant Agreement, this Warrant will cease to be exercisable for Endo Warrants
after the Expiration Date (as defined and set forth in the Endo Warrant
Agreement). This Warrant will thereafter be exercisable only for the number of
Warrant Shares for which it was exercisable prior to such date.
2.4. Notifications by the Company. If any time prior to the
----------------------------
expiration of this Warrant:

Common Stock or makes any distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends
payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends) to the
holders of the Common Stock;

of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the
Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation;
(iii) there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or
(iv) the Endo Warrants shall have become exercisable pursuant
to the Endo Warrant Agreement;
the Company shall give notice of such action to the Holder and, if applicable,
notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for such dividend or distribution, the date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conversion,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall take place or the date on which the
Endo Warrants became exercisable, as the case may be. With respect to clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, such notice shall also specify the date as of which
the holders of the Company's capital stock of record shall participate in such
dividend or distribution, or shall be entitled to exchange their capital stock
or securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conversion, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. With respect to clauses (i),

---------------------
Article II shall be made on the basis of the number of Warrant Shares and number
of Endo Warrants which the Holder would have been entitled to acquire by
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the event giving rise to the
adjustment, and to the Exercise Price hereunder, per Warrant Share and Endo
Warrant, on the basis of the respective Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the event giving rise to the adjustment. Promptly upon the occurrence
of each adjustment hereunder, the President of the Company shall give written
notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the
number of Warrant Shares and number of Endo Warrants purchasable upon the

calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
