5

Section 4.    Antidilution Provisions.    Each of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.

(a)        Stock Dividends and Splits.    In case the Company shall at any time after November 24, 2009 (i) pay a dividend of shares of Common Stock or make a distribution of shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then (x) the securities purchasable pursuant hereto shall be adjusted to the number of Warrant Shares which the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event, and (y) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. The adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-dividend Date with respect to such event. Any Warrant Shares purchasable as a result of such adjustment shall not be issued prior to the effective date of such event.

For the purpose of this Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) below, the term “shares of Common Stock” means (i) the classes of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company as of the date hereof, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes 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 4(a), the Holder shall become entitled to receive any securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities so receivable upon exercise of this 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 this Section 4.

(b)        Recapitalization, Reclassification, Merger, etc.    If, at any time after November 24, 2009, there shall be (i) any recapitalization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or an antidilution adjustment which is provided for under Section 4(a) of this Warrant), (ii) any consolidation, merger, compulsory share exchange or business combination of the Company with another Person or (iii) any sale or conveyance by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets or property to another Person, then in each case the transaction shall be effected in such a way that (x)

6

the Warrant shall, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant, and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, from and after the effective time of such event, be exercisable for the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) or any combination thereof (in the same proportions) that the Holder would have been entitled to receive if the Holder had exercised the Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares immediately prior to the effective time of such transaction (the “Reference Property”) or (y), in lieu of the treatment under clause (x) of this sentence, upon the written election of the Holder, the Holder shall be paid an amount in cash in exchange for the Warrant equal to the Black Scholes Value of this Warrant as of the Business Day immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, compulsory share exchange, business combination, sale or conveyance. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg reflecting the Exercise Price, the remaining Exercise Period, a 45% volatility factor over the remaining Exercise Period, and a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining Exercise Period. In order to exercise the election in clause (y) of the preceding sentence, the Holder must provide a written election to the Company no later ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Holder receives the notice relating to the applicable transaction pursuant to Section 5 of this Warrant. Agent shall pay such amount of cash to the Holder from legally available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the completion of the applicable transaction, if the transaction is actually completed. For purposes of determining the constitution of the Reference Property, the type and amount of consideration that a holder of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to in the case of any event that causes the shares of Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election) will be deemed to be (1) if the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock make an affirmative election, the forms and amount of consideration actually received with respect to a plurality of the shares of Common Stock held by holders of the shares of Common Stock who make an affirmative election or (2) if the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock do not make an affirmative election, the weighted average of the types and amount of consideration actually received by holders of shares of Common Stock. In the case of any such event, if necessary, the provisions of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock, other securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

(c)        Exception to Adjustment.    No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrant or to the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Exercise Price or an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of Warrant Shares then purchasable upon the exercise of

7

the Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (c) are not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(d)    Adjustment Notices to the Holder. Upon any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price, the Company shall, within 30 days thereafter, deliver written notice thereof to all Holders, which notice shall state the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the adjusted Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based.

Section 5.    Notification by the Company.    In case at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding:

(a)    the Company shall declare any dividend or make any distribution upon its Common Stock or any other class of its capital stock for which the Warrant may be exercised; or

(b)    the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock or any other class of its capital stock any additional shares of stock of any class or any other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of stock or any rights or options to subscribe thereto; or

(c)    the Board of Directors of the Company shall authorize any recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction involving the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or a sale or conveyance of all or a substantial part of the assets of the Company, or a consolidation, merger, compulsory share exchange or business combination of the Company with another Person; or

(d)    actions or proceedings shall be authorized or commenced for a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice to the Holder, at the earliest time legally practicable (and not less than 5 days before the effective date (or the applicable record date, if earlier) of such event) of the date on which (i) the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or options or (ii) such recapitalization, reclassification, sale, conveyance, consolidation, merger, compulsory share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall take place or be voted on by shareholders of the Company, as the case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record shall participate in said dividend, distribution, subscription rights or options or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, sale,

8

conveyance, consolidation, merger, compulsory share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. If the action in question or the record date is subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act or to a favorable vote of shareholders, the notice required by this Section 5 shall so state. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 5 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any dividend, distribution, subscription right or option, recapitalization, reclassification, sale, conveyance, consolidation, merger, compulsory share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or the vote upon any action; provided, however, that the Company’s failure to provide such notice in connection with any transaction with respect to which the Holder has a right to make the election contemplated by Section 4(b) will extend the Holder’s right to make such an election for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Holder receives such notice.

Section 6.    No Voting or Dividend Rights; Limitations of Liability.    Prior to exercise, this Warrant will not entitle the Holder to any rights as a shareholder of the Company including without limitation, voting rights, the right to call meetings, consent or receive notices as a shareholder in respect of any meeting, or impose any fiduciary or other duties on the Company or its directors and officers, all of which rights and duties are expressly disclaimed and waived by the Holder. No dividends or distributions are payable or will accrue on this Warrant or the Warrant Shares until, and except to the extent that, this Warrant is exercised. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise hereof.

Section 7.    Governmental Consents.    In the event the Company reasonably believes and informs the Holder in writing that the exercise of the Warrant may cause a violation or conflict with any provision of, or require any filing or unobtained consent, authorization or approval under, the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any other federal Law, then this Warrant shall not be exercised in whole or in part until the Holder shall have delivered to the Company a written assurance or a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such violation, conflict or requirement shall not occur or be required; provided, however that if the issuance of any Warrant Shares is required to be registered with or approved by any federal governmental authority under any federal or state law (other than any registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws), before such Warrant Shares may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will, at its expense, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Warrant Shares to be so registered or approved, at such time, so that such Warrant Shares may be issued in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 8.    Amendment and Waiver.    No failure or delay of the Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Holder are

9

cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that it would otherwise have. The provisions of each of the Combined Warrants may be amended, modified or waived by the written agreement of the Company and the Required Holders. In addition, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended, modified or waived by the written agreement of the Company and the then current Holder of this Warrant.

Section 9.      No Fractional Warrant Shares.    The Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of Warrant Shares, but in respect of any fraction of a Warrant Share may, at its option, either make a payment in cash based on the Market Value of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable date of exercise of the Warrants or round the number of Warrant Shares issued up to the nearest number of whole Warrant Shares, based upon the rounding convention of rounding up to the nearest whole number any amount which is .5 or larger.

Section 10.    Notices.    All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder will be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given if (and then two Business Days after) it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the intended recipient as set forth below:
