The foregoing Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as hereinafter set forth.

This Warrant has been issued by the Company in connection with, and in consideration for the acceptance by the Lenders described below of, the prepayment by the Company in full of its obligations under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of August 14, 2006 (as amended from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”) between the Company, its Subsidiaries, the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto, as Lenders thereunder, and CapitalSource Finance LLC, as administrative agent for the Lenders, including, without limitation, the prepayment of that certain Convertible Term Loan (as such term was defined in the Credit Agreement) which was made by the Lenders to the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement and was convertible into Common Stock of the Company.

Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Warrant shall have the respective meanings set forth in Article IX hereof.


ARTICLE I

EXERCISE OF WARRANT

1.1 Right to Exercise . The registered holder hereof shall have the right, at its option, to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on (i) August 14, 2011 if on or prior to such date the Company has not issued any shares of any class of capital stock which is preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or (ii) August 14, 2014 if on or prior to August 14, 2011 the Company has issued any shares of any class of capital stock which is preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.

1.2 Manner of Exercise; Payment . To exercise this Warrant, the holder hereof shall deliver to the Company (a) a Notice of Exercise duly executed by such holder specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, (b) an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for all shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to this Warrant, and (c) this Warrant. At the option of such holder, payment of the Exercise Price may be made by (A) either of the Permitted Payment Methods, (B) deduction from the number of shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise of the Warrant that number of shares of Common Stock which has an aggregate Current Market Price on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for all shares to be purchased pursuant to this Warrant, or (C) by any combination of the foregoing methods.

4.2 Adjustment of Exercise Price . If any Adjustment Transaction shall occur, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by the Company so as to fairly preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with Section 4.1 and otherwise with the essential intent and purposes hereof.

Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company shall promptly mail a copy thereof to the holder of this Warrant and shall make the adjustment described therein.

In case the Company after the date hereof shall propose to (i) pay any dividend payable in stock to the holders of shares of Common Stock or to make any other Distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock, (ii) offer to the holders of shares of Common Stock rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of any class of stock or any other rights or options, or (iii) effect any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving merely the subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or any capital reorganization or any consolidation or merger (other than a merger in which no distribution of securities or other property is to be made to holders of shares of Common Stock), or any sale, transfer or other disposition of its property, assets and business as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then, in each such case, the Company shall mail to the holder of this Warrant notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which the stock transfer books of the Company shall close, or a record shall be taken, for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividends or other Distribution or such rights or options or to participate in such repurchase or redemption, or the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, other disposition, liquidation, dissolution, or winding up shall take place or commence, as the case may be, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to receive securities or other property deliverable upon such action, if any such date is to be fixed. Such notice shall be mailed in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of Common Stock for purposes of receiving such payment or offer, or in the case of any action covered by clause (iii) above at least thirty (30) days prior to the date upon which such action takes place and twenty (20) days prior to any record date to determine holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such securities or other property.
