(h) Cancellation and/ or Adjustment of Global Warrants.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Warrant have been exercised or exchanged for Definitive Warrants or a particular Global Warrant has been exercised, redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Warrant shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 3.8 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is exercised or exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Warrant or for Definitive Warrants, the amount of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Warrant by the Warrant Agent or by the Depositary at the direction of the Warrant Agent to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Warrant, such other Global Warrant shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Warrant by the Warrant Agent or by the Depositary at the direction of the Warrant Agent to reflect such increase.

(iii) All Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Warrants or Definitive Warrants shall be the duly authorized, executed and issued warrants for Common Stock of the Company,

not subject to any preemptive rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement, as the Global Warrants or Definitive Warrants surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(iv) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Warrant, the Warrant Agent, and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant for all purposes and none of the Warrant Agent, or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

If any mutilated Warrant is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or the Company and the Warrant Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Warrant, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of a Warrant Countersignature Order, shall countersign a replacement Warrant if the Warrant Agent’s requirements are met. If required by the Warrant Agent or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Warrant Agent and the Company to protect the Company, the Warrant Agent, any Agent and any agent for purposes of the countersignature from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Warrant is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Warrant.

Every replacement Warrant is an additional warrant of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Warrant Agreement equally and proportionately with all other Warrants duly issued hereunder.

Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Warrant Agent shall countersign definitive Warrants in exchange for temporary Warrants.

Holders of temporary Warrants shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Warrant Agreement.

3.8. Cancellation.

Subject to Section 3.5(h) hereof, the Company at any time may deliver Warrants to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.

Each Warrant not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2008 (the “Expiration Date”) 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.

(b) In order to exercise all or any of the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate, the holder thereof must deliver to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office set forth in Section 15 hereof the Warrant Certificate and the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed, which signature shall be medallion guaranteed by an institution which is a member of a Securities Transfer Association recognized signature guarantee program, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price, which is set forth in the form of Warrant Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A, as adjusted as herein provided, for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made (i) in cash, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or (ii) by tendering Notes in the manner provided in Section 4(a) hereof.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, upon compliance with clause (b) above, the Warrant Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch, to or upon the written order of the holder and in such name or names as the Warrant holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of whole Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants or other securities or property to which such holder is entitled hereunder, together with cash as provided in Section 9 hereof; provided that if any consolidation, merger or lease or sale of assets is proposed to be effected by the Company as described in Section 8(m) hereof, or a tender offer or an exchange offer for shares of Common Stock shall be made, upon such surrender of Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Warrant Agent shall, as soon as possible, but in any event not later than two business days

thereafter, deliver or cause to be delivered the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants in the manner described in this sentence or other securities or property to which such holder is entitled hereunder, together with cash as provided in Section 9 hereof. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price.

(d) The Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the holders thereof, either in full or from time to time in part. If less than all the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, such Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and for the number of Warrants which were not exercised shall be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent shall countersign the new Warrant Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be directed in writing by the holder, and shall deliver the new Warrant Certificate to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same.

(e) All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in a manner satisfactory to the Company. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the Company all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of the Warrant Shares through the exercise of such Warrants.

(f) The Warrant Agent 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. The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request.

SECTION 5. PAYMENT OF TAXES.

The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 6. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES.

(a) The Company will 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 Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

(b) The Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”) and every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid 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 will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent the stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants

upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 9 hereof. 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 11 hereof.

(c) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel (which may be counsel employed by the Company), be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.

(d) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon exercise of Warrants will, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issuance thereof.

SECTION 7. OBTAINING STOCK EXCHANGE LISTINGS.

The Company will from time to time take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, will be listed on the principal securities exchanges, automated quotation systems or other markets within the United States of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are then listed, if any.

SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES ISSUABLE.

The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 8. For purposes of this Section 8, “Common Stock” means shares now or hereafter authorized of any class of common stock of the Company and any other stock of the Company, however designated, that has the right (subject to any prior rights of any class or series of preferred stock) to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Company without limit as to per share amount.

(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.

If the Company (i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iv) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock or (v) 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 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, in good faith, 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 8. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b) Adjustments for Rights Issue.

If the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Fair Value (as defined herein) per share on that record date, 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 current Exercise Price.

O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date.

N = the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.

P = the aggregate price per share of the additional shares.

M = the Fair Value per share of Common Stock on the record date.

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.

(c) Adjustment for Other Distributions.

If the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any of its assets or debt securities or any rights or Warrants to purchase debt securities of the Company, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

E’ = E x	M - F
	M

where:

E’ = the adjusted Exercise Price.

E = the current Exercise Price.

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

F = the fair market value on the record date of the assets, securities, rights or warrants to be distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”).

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.

This Section 8(c) does not apply to cash dividends or cash distributions paid out of consolidated current or retained earnings as shown on the books of the Company prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, this Section 8(c) does not apply to rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 8(b) hereof.

(d) Adjustment for Common Stock Issue.

If the Company issues shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Fair Value per share on the date the Company fixes the offering price of such additional shares, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

			P
E’ = E x	O	+	M
	A

where:

E’ = the adjusted Exercise Price.

E = the then current Exercise Price.

O = the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares.

P = the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such additional shares.

M = the Fair Value per share on the date of issuance of such additional shares.

A = the number of shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares.

The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.

This subsection (d) does not apply to:

(1) any of the transactions described in: subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 8,

(2) the exercise of Warrants, or the conversion or exchange of other securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock the issuance of which caused an adjustment to be made under Section 8(e),

(3) Common Stock issued to the Company’s employees (or employees of its subsidiaries) under bona fide employee benefit plans adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the holders of Common Stock when required by law, if such Common Stock would otherwise be covered by this subsection (d) (but only to the extent that the aggregate number of shares excluded hereby and issued after the date of this Warrant Agreement shall not exceed 5% of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of the adoption of each such plan, exclusive of anti-dilution adjustments thereunder),

(4) Common Stock issued to shareholders of any Person which merges into the Company, or with a subsidiary of the Company, in proportion to their stock holdings of such person immediately prior to such merger, upon such merger, provided that if such person is an Affiliate of the Company, the Board of Directors shall have obtained a fairness opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or valuation firm, which is not an Affiliate of the Company, stating that the consideration received in such merger is fair to the Company from a financial point of view, or

(5) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to rights, options or warrants which were originally issued in a Non-Affiliate Sale (as defined below) together with one or more other securities as part of a unit at a price per unit.

(e) Adjustment for Convertible Securities Issue.

If the Company issues any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than securities issued in transactions described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 8) for a consideration per share of Common Stock initially deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities less than the Fair Value per share on the date of issuance of such securities, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with this formula:

			P
E’ = E x	O	+	M
	O + D

where:

E’	=	the adjusted Exercise Price.

E	=	the then current Exercise Price.

O	=	the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities.

P	=	the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such securities.

M	=	the Fair Value per share on the date of issuance of such securities.

D	=	the maximum number of shares deliverable upon conversion or in exchange for such securities at the initial conversion or exchange rate.

The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.

If all of the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities have not been issued when such securities are no longer outstanding, then the Exercise Price shall promptly

be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustment upon the issuance of such securities been made on the basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exchange of such securities.

This subsection (e) does not apply to convertible securities issued to shareholders of any person which merges into the Company, or with a subsidiary of the Company, in proportion to their stock holdings of such person immediately prior to such merger, upon such merger, provided that if such person is an Affiliate of the Company, the Board of Directors shall have obtained a fairness opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or valuation firm, which is not an Affiliate of the Company, stating that the consideration received in such merger is fair to the Company from a financial point of view.

(f) Consideration Received.

For purposes of any computation respecting consideration received pursuant to subsections (d), and (e) of this Section 8, the following shall apply:

(1) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Company for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;

(2) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof), whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a Board resolution which shall be filed with the Warrant Agent;

(3) in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares, the aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration. if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (1) and (2) of this subsection); and

(4) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to rights. options or warrants which rights, options or warrants were originally issued together with one or more other securities as part of a unit at a price per unit, the consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such rights. options or warrants at the time of issuance thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board resolution which shall be filed with the Warrant Agent plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (as determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (1) and (2) of this subsection).

(g) Fair Value.

In Sections 8(d) and (e) hereof, the “Fair Value” per security at any date of determination shall be (1) in connection with a sale by the Company to a party that is not an Affiliate of the Company in an arm’s-length transaction (a “Non-Affiliate Sale”), the price per security at which such security is sold and (2) in connection with any sale by the Company to an Affiliate of the Company, (a) the last price per security at which such security was sold in a Non-Affiliate Sale within the three-month period preceding such date of determination (it being understood that the sale of Common Stock of the Company to DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. and its Affiliates on August 28, 1998 was a sale to a party not then an Affiliate of the Company and therefore a Non-Affiliate Sale) or (b) if clause (a) is not applicable, the fair

market value of such security determined in good faith by (i) a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors, and approved in a Board resolution delivered to the Warrant Agent or (ii) a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or valuation firm, which is not an Affiliate of the Company, in each case, taking into account, among all other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors or such investment banking, appraisal or valuation firm, the trading price and volume of such security on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such security is traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any sale to Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx Securities Corporation (or any successor thereto) pursuant to an underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be and treated as a Non-Affiliate Sale.

In Sections 8(b) and (c) hereof, the “Fair Value” per security at any date of determination shall be (a) the last price per security at which such security was sold by the Company in a Non-Affiliate Sale within the three-month period preceding such date of determination or (b) if clause (a) is not applicable, the fair market value of such security determined in good faith by (i) a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors, and approved in a Board resolution delivered to the Warrant Agent or (ii) a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or valuation firm, which is not an Affiliate of the Company, in each case, taking into account, among all other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors or such investment banking,' appraisal or valuation firm, the trading price and volume of such security on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such security is traded.

For purposes of this Section 8(g), “Disinterested Director” means, in connection with any issuance of securities that gives rise to a determination of the Fair Value thereof, each member of the Board of Directors who is not an officer, employee, director or other Affiliate of the party to whom the Company is proposing to issue the securities giving rise to such determination.

For purposes of this Section 8(g), “Affiliate” of any specified Person means (A) any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person and (B) any director, officer or employee of such specified Person. For purposes of this definition “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) as used with respect to any Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise.

(h) 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. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be, it being understood that no such rounding shall be made under subsection (p).

(i) When No Adjustment Required.

No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to Section 8(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) hereof, if Warrant holders are to participate (without being required to exercise their Warrants) in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction. No adjustment need be made for (i) rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest, (ii) a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock or (iii) the issuance by the Company of warrants to DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. and certain of its Affiliates on or about October 5, 1998. To the extent the Warrants become convertible into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

(j) Notice of Adjustment.

Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company shall provide the notices required by Section 10 hereof.

(k) Notice of Certain Transactions.

If (i) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 8(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) hereof and if the Company does not arrange for Warrant holders to participate pursuant to Section 8(i) hereof, (ii) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental Warrant Agreement pursuant to Section 8(l) hereof or (iii) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, then the Company shall mail to Warrant holders a notice stating the proposed record date for a dividend or distribution or the proposed effective date of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

(l) Reorganization of Company.

Immediately after the date hereof, if the Company consolidates or merges with or into, or transfers or leases all or substantially all its assets to, any person, upon consummation of such transaction the Warrants shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer or lease if the holder had exercised the Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction. Concurrently with the consummation of such transaction, the corporation formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger if other than the Company, or the person to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall enter into (i) a supplemental Warrant Agreement so providing and further providing for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 8(1) and (ii) a supplement to the Warrant Registration Rights Agreement providing for the assumption of the Company’s obligations thereunder. The successor Company shall mail to Warrant holders a notice describing the supplemental Warrant Agreement and Warrant Registration Rights Agreement. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants under the supplemental Warrant Agreement is an affiliate of the formed, surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in the supplemental Warrant Agreement and Warrant Registration Rights Agreement. If this Section 8(l) applies, Sections 8(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) hereof do not apply.

(m) Company Determination Final.

Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to Section 8(a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (i) hereof is conclusive.

(n) Warrant Agent’s Disclaimer.

The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Section 8 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine whether any provisions of a supplemental Warrant Agreement under Section 8(l) hereof are correct. The Warrant Agent makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Section 8.

(o) When Issuance or Payment May Be Deferred

In any case in which this Section 8 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price 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 Exercise Price and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share pursuant to Section 10 hereof; provided 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.

(p) Adjustment in Number of Shares.

Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8, each Warrant outstanding prior to the making of the adjustment in the Exercise Price shall thereafter evidence the right to receive upon payment of the adjusted Exercise Price that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained from the following formula:

N’		=		N		x		E
								E’

where:

N’	=	the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant by payment of the adjusted Exercise Price.

N	=	the number or Warrant Shares previously issuable upon exercise of a Warrant by payment of the exercise Price prior to adjustment.

E’	=	the adjusted Exercise Price.

E	=	the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

(q) 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.

SECTION 9. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.

The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of 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 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 9, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Fair Value per Warrant Share, as determined on the day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such fraction, computed to the nearest whole U.S. cent.

SECTION 10. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS.

(a) Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Company shall promptly thereafter (i) cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company) setting forth the 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 setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (or portion thereof) issuable after such adjustment in the Exercise Price, upon exercise of a Warrant and payment of the adjusted Exercise Price, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the matters set forth therein, and (ii) cause to be given to each of the registered holders of Warrants at the address appearing on the Warrant register for each such registered holder 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 10.

(b) In case:

(i) 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;

(ii) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than dividends or cash distributions paid out of consolidated current or retained earnings as shown on the books of the Company prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or dividends payable in shares of Common Stock or distributions referred to in Section 10(a) hereof);

(iii) of any 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;

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

(v) the Company proposes to take any action (other than actions of the character described in Section 8(a) hereof) which would require an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 8 hereof;

then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent and shall cause to be given to each of the registered holders of Warrants at his address appearing on the Warrant register, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above) prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or promptly in the case of events for which there is no record date, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice stating (x) 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, (y) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, or (z) the date on which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become

effective or consummated, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 11 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Warrant Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the holders of 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 11. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR CHANGE OF NAME OF WARRANT AGENT.

(a) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a Successor Warrant agent under the provisions of Section 13 hereof. In case at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor to the Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force and effect provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.
