As
provided in the Rights Agreement, the Purchase Price and/or the number and/or

an
Acquiring Person to holders of its equity securities or to any Person with
whom
it has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the
transferred Rights or (b) a transfer which the Board of Directors of the Company
has determined is part of a plan, arrangement or understanding which has the
purpose or effect of avoiding certain provisions of the Rights Agreement, and
subsequent transferees of any of such Persons, will be void without any further

with respect to such Rights under any provision of the Rights Agreement. From
and after the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, no Right Certificate will be issued
that represents Rights that are or have become void pursuant to the provisions
of the Rights Agreement, and any Right Certificate delivered to the Rights

that represents Rights that are or have become void pursuant to the provisions
of the Rights Agreement will be canceled.

split up, combined or exchanged for another Right Certificate or Right

such
purpose, with the Form of Assignment (if appropriate) and the related
Certificate duly executed.
Subject
to the provisions of the Rights Agreement, the Rights evidenced by this
Certificate may be redeemed by the Company at its option at a redemption price
of $0.0001 per Right or may be exchanged in whole or in part. The Rights
Agreement may be supplemented and amended by the Company, as provided therein.
The
Company is not required to issue fractions of Preferred Shares (other than
fractions which are integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a Preferred
Share, which may, at the option of the Company, be evidenced by depositary
receipts) or other securities issuable upon the exercise of any Right or Rights
evidenced hereby. In lieu of issuing such fractional Preferred Shares or other
securities, the Company may make a cash payment, as provided in the Rights
Agreement.
No
holder
of this Right Certificate, as such, will be entitled to vote or receive
dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Preferred Shares or
of
any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable upon
the
exercise of the Right or Rights represented hereby, nor will anything contained
herein or in the Rights Agreement be construed to confer upon the holder hereof,
as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to
vote
for the election of directors or upon any ratter submitted to stockholders
at
any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action,
or
to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders (except
