A hereto (the "Exercise Schedule").
-

     As used herein, (a) the term "Issue Date" shall mean May 14, 2001, (b) the
term "Expiration Date" shall mean the earlier of the date upon which all Warrant
Shares shall have been exercised or December 31, 2006, (c) the term "Exercise
Price" shall mean $11.805, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 hereof,
and (d) the term "General Agreement" shall mean that certain General Agreement

is being issued pursuant to the General Agreement. The Initial Holder is
entitled to the rights and benefits and subject to the obligations under that

Holder and the Company.

               1.   Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Acknowledgement. This
                    ---------------------------------------------------
Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, for shares of Common Stock (but
not for a fraction of a share) upon surrender to the Company at its principal
office (or at such other location as the Company may advise the Holder in
writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with (i) the Form of Subscription
attached as Annex A hereto duly completed and executed, and (ii) payment
            -------
pursuant to Section 2 of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares
for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the
provisions hereof. The shares of Common Stock purchased under this Warrant shall
be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder, as the record owner of such
shares, as of the close of business on the date of exercise. Certificates for

                                       1
<PAGE>

the shares of the Common Stock so purchased, together with any other securities
or property to which the Holder hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be
delivered to the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company's expense as soon
as practicable after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so
exercised, but in any event within ten (10) business days after the date of
exercise. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of
Common Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered in
the name of such Holder. In case of a purchase of less than all the Warrant
Shares, the Company shall execute and deliver to Holder within a reasonable time
an Acknowledgement in the form attached hereto indicating the number of Warrant
Shares which remain subject to this Warrant, if any.

          2.   Payment for Shares.  The aggregate purchase price for Warrant
               ------------------
Shares being purchased hereunder may be paid either (i) by check or wire
transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) by surrender of a number of
Warrant Shares which have a fair market value equal to the aggregate purchase
price of the Warrant Shares being purchased ("Net Issuance") as determined
herein.  If the Holder elects the Net Issuance method of payment, the Company
shall issue to Holder upon exercise a number of shares of Warrant Shares
determined in accordance with the following formula:

                                 X = Y(A-B)
                                     -------
                                       A

          where: X =  the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;

                 Y =  the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the
                      Holder is exercising its purchase rights under this
                      Warrant;

                 A =  the fair market value of one (1) Warrant Share on the date
                      of exercise; and

                 B =  the Exercise Price on the date of exercise.

          No fractional shares arising out of the above formula for determining
the number of shares to be issued to the Holder shall be issued, and the Company
shall in lieu thereof make payment to the Holder of cash in the amount of such
fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of the Warrant Shares
on the date of exercise.  For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market
value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares shall mean (a) if the Common Stock
is then traded on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, the average of the
high and low trading prices of such Common Stock on such exchange on the date of
exercise, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each
share of the Warrant Shares is then convertible, (b) if the Common Stock is then
regularly traded over-the-counter, the average of the high and low trading
prices of such Common Stock on the over-the-counter market on the date of
exercise, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each
share of the Warrant Shares is then convertible, or (c) if there is no active
public market for the Common Stock,  the fair market value thereof as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Warrant Shares is then
convertible.

          3.   Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.
               ----------------------------------------------

               3.1  The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common
Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any stockholder and free of
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company
further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights
represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have
authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of
the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or other securities and
property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant. If at any time prior to the Expiration Date the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient
to permit the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company
will take such corporate action, subject to receipt of any required stockholder
approval, as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

               3.2  The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Initial
Holder that (a) as of the Issue Date the authorized equity securities of the
Company consist of 70,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 23,234,654 shares
were issued and outstanding as of April 1, 2001, and 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, none of which are issued or outstanding, and (b) as of April 1,
2001, the Warrant Shares represent seven percent (7%) of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          4.   Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.  The Exercise
               -------------------------------------------------
Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain
events described in this Section 4.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price,
the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment.

               4.1  Stock Dividends.  If the Company at any time while this
                    ---------------
Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend or distribution
payable in Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and
after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.

               4.2  Stock Splits, Subdivisions or Combinations.  In case the
                    ------------------------------------------
Company shall at any time split or subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision shall be

                                       3
<PAGE>

proportionately reduced, and in case the outstanding shares of the Common Stock
of the Company shall be combined or reverse split into a smaller number of
shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall
be proportionately increased.

               4.3  Reclassification.  In case of any reclassification, change
                    ----------------
or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(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 described
in Section 4.2 hereof), then the Company shall take all necessary actions
(including but not limited to executing and delivering to the Holder of this
Warrant an additional Warrant or other instrument, in form and substance
satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant) to ensure that the Holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter have the right to receive, at a total purchase price
not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this
Warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or
conversion by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable
under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Section 4. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, changes and conversions.

               4.4  Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  In case of any
                    -----------------------------
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation,
entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization in which the Company
shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or
reorganization, or any transaction in which in excess of 50% of the Company's
voting power is transferred, or any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a
"Reorganization"), then the Company will have the right to cancel this Warrant,
provided, however, that, upon the consummation or effective date of such
Reorganization, the Holder will receive, in lieu of this Warrant, the stock and
other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have
been entitled upon the date of such Reorganization if such Holder had exercised
this Warrant immediately prior thereto pursuant to the Net Issuance provisions
of Section 2 hereof and this Warrant had been exercisable for all of the Warrant
Shares (notwithstanding the Exercise Schedule) as of the date of such
Reorganization.

               4.5  Notice of Adjustment.  Upon any adjustment provided for
                    --------------------
under this Section 4, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by first
class mail postage prepaid, addressed to the registered Holder of this Warrant
at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company. The notice
shall be signed by the Company's chief financial officer and shall state the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase, decrease or
change, if any, in the number or type of shares purchasable at such price upon
the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

               4.6  Other Notices.  If at any time:
                    -------------

                    (1)  the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its
Common Stock;

                    (2)  there shall be any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; or consolidation or merger
of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to,
another entity or person; or

                    (3)  there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by first class
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder of this Warrant at the address of
such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, (a) at least ten (10) days
prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close
or a record shall be taken for such dividend or for determining rights to vote
in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and (b) in the case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, winding-up or public offering, at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice of the date when the same shall take place; provided, however,
that the Holder shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to such notice
as early as possible after the receipt thereof.  Any notice given in accordance
with the foregoing clause (a) shall also specify, in the case of any such
dividend, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled
thereto.  Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall
also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, winding-up, conversion or public offering, as the case may be.

          5.   No Impairment.  Except and to the extent as waived or consented
               -------------
to by the Holder, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in
the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

          6.   No Voting or Dividend Rights.  Nothing contained in this Warrant
               ----------------------------
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof the right to vote or to
consent to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company or any other matters
or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise
of the Holder's right to purchase the Warrant Shares.  No cash dividends or
interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest
represented hereby until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have
been exercised.

               --------
Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in
part, only to an affiliate (as such term is defined under Rule 405 of the Act)
of such Holder. Any such transfer to an affiliate shall be made upon surrender
of this Warrant together with a written request for transfer accompanied by an
opinion of counsel that such transfer is in compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws, or the Company is provided with information
sufficient for the Company to make such determination. Except as expressly
permitted by this Section 7, this Warrant may not be transferred by the Holder.

the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with its acquisition of
the Warrant; and (v) the transaction under which Holder is acquiring the Warrant
has not been registered under the Act and the Warrant must be held indefinitely
unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such

mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its

at least a majority of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with
this paragraph shall be binding upon the Company, the Holder and the holders of
all Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant.

                                  SCHEDULE A
                                  ----------

                               EXERCISE SCHEDULE

1.   The dates on which Warrant Shares may be purchased may be accelerated prior
to the Expiration Date according to the following schedule (the "Exercise
Schedule").  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
set forth in the General Agreement.

     .    25% of the Warrant Shares may be purchased on or after June 1, 2002 if
          the Company has earned and been paid an average performance based
          incentive of at least [****]% (the "Target Percentage") under the
          Override and Incentive Program described in Article 5 of the General
          Agreement and as set forth in the Agency Agreement for the twelve-
          month period ending March 31 (the "Measuring Period") in the year 2002
          (or for such shorter period that the General Agreement was effective);

     .    an additional 25% of the Warrant Shares may be purchased on or after
          June 1, 2003 if the Company has earned and been paid at least the
          Target Percentage for the Measuring Period in the year 2003;

     .    an additional 25% of the Warrant Shares may be purchased on or after
          June 1, 2004 if the Company has earned and been paid at least the
          Target Percentage for the Measuring Period in the year 2004; and

     .    an additional 25% of the Warrant Shares may be purchased on or after
          June 1, 2005 if the Company has earned and been paid at least the
          Target Percentage for the Measuring Period in the year 2005.

     In addition, if the Warrant is not accelerated for any Measuring Period
described above, but as of the end of any subsequent Measuring Period it is
determined that the Company has earned and been paid a cumulative average
performance based incentive of at least the Target Percentage over the failed
Measuring Period, such subsequent Measuring Period and any intervening Measuring
Periods, then the amount of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
shall, as of June 1 following the end of such subsequent Measuring Period,
include the amount of Warrant Shares for the failed Measuring Period(s).  For
example, if the Company fails to obtain the Target Percentage for the Measuring
Period ending March 31, 2003, but obtains a cumulative average market share of
at least the Target Percentage for the Measuring Periods ending March 31, 2003
and 2004, then the number of exercisable Warrant Shares shall, as of June 1,
2004 include the 25% of the Warrant Shares that were previously excluded for the
Measuring Period ending March 31, 2003, as well as the additional 25% of the
Warrant Shares for the Measuring Period ending March 31, 2004.

2.   Additionally, in the event that the Initial Holder terminates the General
Agreement or the Agency Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, the dates on
which the Warrant Shares may be purchased shall be accelerated to the effective
date of any such termination.

1. Purchase for Own Account.  The undersigned represents that it is acquiring
   ------------------------
   the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (collectively, the

   nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any
   part thereof, except as may be permitted under the federal securities laws,
   and that such undersigned has no present intention of selling, granting any
   participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  The acquisition by
   such undersigned of any of the Shares shall constitute confirmation of the
   representation by such undersigned that such undersigned does not have any
   contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
   transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with
   respect to any of the Shares.

2. Disclosure of Information.  Such undersigned has received all the information
   -------------------------
   it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the
   Shares.  Such undersigned

                                                                         ANNEX A
                                                                         -------

   further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and
   receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the
   Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the
   Company.

3. Investment Experience.  Such undersigned represents that it is able to fend
   ---------------------
   for itself and can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares,
   and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that
   it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the
   Shares.  If other than an individual, such undersigned also represents it has
   not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.  Such undersigned
   acknowledges that any investment in the Shares involves a high degree of
   risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its
   financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and
   to suffer a complete loss of its investment.

4. Accredited Investor.  Such undersigned represents that it is an "accredited
   -------------------
   investor" within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")

5. Further Limitations on Disposition.  Without in any way limiting the
   ----------------------------------
   representations set forth above, such undersigned further agrees not to make
   any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until:

     a)   there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities
          Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") covering such proposed disposition
          and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration
          statement; or

     b)   such undersigned shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
          counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition
          will not require registration of such shares under the Act.

     c)   Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no
          such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary
          for a transfer by the undersigned (i) to any entity that, directly or
          indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under common
          control with, the undersigned ("control" shall mean the power,
          directly or indirectly, to vote 51% or more of the voting securities
          of an entity) or (ii) the transfer by gift, provided that the
          transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the
          same extent as the original undersigned hereunder.
