following number of warrants (the "Additional Warrants") on the following dates
upon the occurrence of the following events (the "Triggering Events"): (i)

which the stockholders of the Company do not hold at least a majority of the

and repaid in full the subordinated loans made pursuant to the Commitment
Letter, and (v) 3,000,000 on June 30, 2000 and the last day of each fiscal
