2000, in any calendar quarter, this Warrant may be exercised for not
more than one-third of the original aggregate principal amount of the
Notes issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,

quarter in such period; and

Exercise Period this Warrant may be exercised in full.
To exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall (x) surrender this
Warrant to the Company, (y) give an Exercise Notice (duly executed by the
Holder) to the Company, and (z) on the applicable Warrant Closing Date, make
payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of
the Company, or by wire transfer of funds to the account of the Company, in each
such case, in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Note designated by
the Holder in the Exercise Notice for such Note. On any partial exercise, the
Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a
new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the
Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
request, providing in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the

the Holder by the Company; provided, however, that if an Exercise Notice is
given to the Company by telephone line facsimile transmission the Holder shall
send an original of such Exercise Notice to the Company within ten Business Days
after such Exercise Notice is so given to the Company; provided further,
however, that any failure or delay on the part of the Holder in giving such
original of any Exercise Notice shall not affect the validity of or the date on
which such Exercise Notice is so given by telephone line facsimile transmission.
(b) Exercise of Company Put Right. (1) If a Company Put
Threshold Event occurs during the Exercise Period, then at any time within ten
Business Days after such Company Put Threshold Event, the Company shall have the
right on one occasion only with respect to such Company Put Threshold Event to
require the Holder to purchase Notes that are subject to this Warrant and that
the Holder has not previously purchased, in the following amounts during the
following periods:
(A) during the period from the date hereof to December 31,
2000, in any calendar quarter the Company may require the Holder to
purchase a principal amount of Notes that is not more than one-third of
the original principal amount issuable upon exercise of this Warrant;
provided, however, that any such amount for which the Company does not
exercise its rights in any such calendar quarter may not be carried
forward to any subsequent calendar quarter; provided further, however,
that if a Company Put Threshold Event occurs and the arithmetic average
of the Market Price of the Common Stock during the period of 20
consecutive Trading Days used to determine the occurrence of such
Company Put Threshold Event shall have been at least 200 percent of the
Conversion Price, then the limitation of this clause (A) shall be
inapplicable to such Company Put Threshold Event; and
(B) during the period from January 1, 2000 to the end of the
Exercise Period, the Company may require the Holder to purchase all or
any part of the Notes for which this Warrant is unexercised.

give the Holder a Company Put Notice and the Holder shall be obligated to
purchase Notes as specified in such Notice if the requirements of this Section
1(b) are satisfied.
(2) The Company shall be entitled to give the Company Put
Notice only if the following requirements are met:
(A) On the date the Company Put Notice is given and at all
times thereafter to and including the Company Put Closing Date, no
event which, if a Note were outstanding, would constitute an Event of
Default under and as defined in the Notes or which with notice or
passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing;
(B) On the date the Company Put Notice is given and at all
times thereafter to and including the Company Put Closing Date, no
event which, if a Note were outstanding, would constitute a Repurchase
Event or event which with notice or passage of time, or both, would
become a Repurchase Event shall have occurred and be continuing;
(C) The SEC Effective Date for the Registration Statement
shall have occurred on or before the date the Company Put Notice is
given and on the date the Company Put Notice is given and at all times
thereafter to and including the Company Put Closing Date the
Registration Statement shall be effective and available for use for the
resale of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes;
and
(D) On the date the Company gives the Company Put Notice, the
Company shall have exercised its rights under Section 1(b) of each of
the Other Warrants to require the holders of the Other Warrants to
purchase Other Notes in an amount which is pro rata among the Holder
and the holders of the Other Warrants, based on the original principal
amount of Notes for which this Warrant was exercisable and respective
original principal amounts of the Other Notes for which the Other
Warrants were exercisable.
(c) Acceleration of Exercise By Holder. Notwithstanding any
limitation on exercise of this Warrant contained in Section 1(a), if the Company
shall have given or been required to give to the Holder a notice in accordance
with Section 7 or if a Fundamental Change shall have occurred or there shall
have been any public announcement of any event or transaction that would be a
Fundamental Change, then thereafter the limitations in Section 1(a) on the
amount of this Warrant which may be exercised by the Holder shall not be of any
further force or effect and the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole at any
time or in part from time to time.

Company Put Closing Date, as the case may be, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including the payment by
it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of
any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, one or more Notes in the aggregate
principal amount stated in the applicable Exercise Notice or Company Put Notice,
as the case may be, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, and
the Holder shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Price for
the Note or Notes issuable by the Company to the Holder on such Warrant Closing
Date or on the Company Put Closing Date, as the case may be.
(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3,
upon exercise of this Warrant by the Holder or exercise by the Company of its
rights under Section 1(b) as provided herein, the Company's obligation to issue
and deliver the Note or Notes shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective
of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment
against any Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in

Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other
Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit
such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with such exercise.

two Business Days after an Exercise Notice has been given (which notice from the
Company shall specify all defects in such Exercise Notice) and any Exercise
Notice containing any such defect shall nonetheless be effective on the date
given if the Holder promptly undertakes to correct all such defects.

-11-
Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with its terms or any such Note
shall have been converted in accordance with its terms, as the case may be.
16. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications from
the Company to the Holder shall be mailed by first class certified mail, postage
prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by
the Holder or at the address shown for the Holder on the register of Warrants
referred to in Section 10.
17. Transfer Restrictions. This Warrant has not been and is
not being registered under the provisions of the 1933 Act or any state
securities laws and this Warrant may not be transferred unless (1) the
transferee is an "accredited investor" (as defined in Regulation D under the
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) or a QIB in a transfer that meets the requirements of Rule 144A and
(2) in the case of a transfer to any Person described in the immediately
preceding clause (1) who is not a QIB, the Holder shall have delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and
substance to the Company, to the effect that this Warrant may be sold or
transferred without registration under the 1933 Act. Prior to any such transfer
to a transferee who is not a QIB, such transferee shall have represented in
writing to the Company that such transferee has requested and received from the
Company all information relating to the business, properties, operations,
condition (financial or other), results of operations or prospects of the
Company deemed relevant by such transferee; that such transferee has been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the
foregoing and has had the opportunity to obtain and review the Registration
Statement and the prospectus relating thereto, each as amended or supplemented
to the date of transfer to such transferee, and the reports and other
information concerning the Company which at the time of such transfer have been
filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act and which are
incorporated by reference in such prospectus as of the date of such transfer. If
such transfer is intended to assign the rights and obligations under Sections
5(a), 5(b), 8, 9 and 10 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, such transfer
shall otherwise be made in compliance with Section 10(j) of the Securities
Purchase Agreement.
18. Rule 144A Information Requirement. Within the period prior
to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales hereof under Rule
144(k) under the 1933 Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants
and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) under the 1934 Act, make available to the Holder or the
holder of any Note issued pursuant to this Warrant, Common Stock Warrant issued
upon redemption of this Warrant or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion
or exercise thereof which continue to be Restricted Securities in connection
with any sale hereof or thereof and any prospective purchaser of this Warrant
from the Holder, the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
1933 Act upon the request of the Holder or such holder and it will take such
further action as the Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable the Holder to sell this Warrant without registration
under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144A,
as Rule 144A may be amended from time to time. Upon the request of the Holder,
the Company will deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.
19. Legend. Unless theretofore registered for resale under the
1933 Act, each Note issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear the legend
appearing on the first page of the Note.
20. Limitation of Holder's Liability. In connection with any
exercise by the Company of its rights under Section 1(b), the Holder (a) shall
be liable for damages from breach
-12-
of the Holder's obligations relating to such exercise only if and to the extent
such breach shall have been determined by final judgment, not subject to further
appeal, of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from conduct of
the Holder which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) shall
have no liability in connection with any dispute or legal action relating to
such exercise if at any time prior to a final judgment referred to in the
immediately preceding clause (a) the Holder shall have tendered the Purchase
Price of all Notes the purchase of which is in dispute (in which case the
Company shall issue such Notes to the Holder in accordance with this Warrant)
and (c) if the immediately preceding clause (b) is inapplicable, shall not in
any event be liable for damages or liability arising from or in any way relating
to any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of its obligations under this
Warrant or otherwise in connection with this Warrant in an amount in excess of
the principal amount of Notes issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion
of this Warrant. This Warrant and the terms and provisions hereof are for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the Holder, the Company and the Holder's permitted
assigns and in no event shall the Holder have any liability to any stockholder
or creditor of the Company or any other Person (other than the Company, subject
to the limitations on liability to the Company contained herein) in any way
relating to or arising from this Warrant or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
21. Miscellaneous. (a) This Warrant and any terms hereof may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge
or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California.
The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not
limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision.
(b) Prior to issuance of any Note or Other Note upon exercise
of this Warrant or any Other Warrant, the terms and provisions of the Notes and
Other Notes which may be so issued upon such exercise may not be changed,

termination is in writing signed by the Majority Holders, provided that no such
change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, prior to issuance of any Note or
Other Note, without the consent of the Holder and the holders of the Other
Warrants affected thereby, (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any such
Note or Other Note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
(other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates) thereon or reduce the principal amount thereof or
the Optional Redemption Consideration (as defined therein), Repurchase Price (as
defined therein) or Registration Repurchase Price (as defined therein), (ii)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.3 thereof, (iii) reduce any
percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of "Majority
Holders" in any such Note or Other Note, or (iv) except as provided in any such
Note or other Note, change the method of calculating the "Conversion Price" (as
defined therein) in a manner adverse to the Holder.
22. Attorneys' Fees. In any litigation, arbitration or court
proceeding between the Company and Holder relating hereto, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to attorneys' fees and expenses and all costs of proceedings
incurred in enforcing this Warrant.
