     "FAMILY MEMBER" has the meaning ascribed to it in the General

     1.   EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

          (a)  Subject to Section 1(c) hereof, the Warrants evidenced by this
Warrant Certificate may be exercised in whole or in part at any time on or after
the Shareholder Approval Date and before the Expiration Date by presentation and
surrender at the office of the Company specified herein of (i) this Warrant
Certificate with the Election to Exercise duly completed and executed, and (ii)
payment of the Exercise Price as then in effect, by bank draft or cashier's
check, for the number of Warrants being exercised.  If Holder at any time
exercises less than all the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the
number of Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall be reduced to
the number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants originally represented by
this Warrant Certificate less the cumulative number of Warrants previously
exercised.

          (b)  To the extent that the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate have not been exercised at or prior to the Expiration Date, such
Warrants shall expire and the rights of Holder shall become void and of no
effect.

          (c)  In its discretion, the Company may permit the Holder to exercise
an Warrant through a "cashless exercise" procedure involving a broker or dealer
approved by the Company, provided that the Holder has delivered an irrevocable
notice of exercise (the "NOTICE") to the broker or dealer and such broker or
dealer agrees:  (i) to sell immediately the number of shares of Common Stock
specified in the Notice to be acquired upon exercise of the Warrant in the
ordinary course of its business, (ii) to pay promptly to the Company the
aggregate exercise price (plus the amount necessary to satisfy any applicable
tax liability), and (iii) to pay to the Holder the balance of the proceeds of
the sale of such shares over the amount determined under clause (ii) of this
sentence, less applicable commissions and fees; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company may modify the provisions of this sentence to the extent necessary to
conform the exercise of the Warrant to Regulation T under the Exchange Act.  The
manner in which the Exercise Price may be paid may be subject to certain
conditions specified by the Company.  No fractional shares (or cash in lieu
thereof) shall be issued upon exercise of a Warrant and the number of shares
that may be purchased upon exercise shall be rounded to the nearest number of
whole shares.




<PAGE>

          (d)  PAYMENT ALTERNATIVES FOR SECTION 16 PERSONS.

               (i)  Persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall have
     the unfettered right (but not the obligation) to pay the Exercise Price in
     full in shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value (determined as of
     the date of exercise of such Warrant and, where such shares are withheld
     (as described in Section 1(d)(ii) below), net of the applicable Exercise
     Price) at least equal to such full payment.

               (ii) Common Stock used to pay the Exercise Price may be shares
     that are already owned by the Holder who is subject to Section 16 of the
     Exchange Act, or such Holder shall have the right but not the obligation to
     direct the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock that would otherwise
     have been received by such Holder upon exercise of the Warrant.  It is the
     intent of this Section 1(d) that the transactions described in this Section
     1(d) qualify for the exemption from short-swing profit liability under
     Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to the "disposition to the issuer"
     exemption set forth at Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated under Section 16 of the
     Exchange Act.

     2.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by Holder
otherwise than (i) to a Permitted Transferee; (ii) by Holder's will; or (iii)
by the laws of descent and distribution.  During the lifetime of Holder, the
Warrants shall be exercisable only by Holder; after Holder's death, the
Warrants shall be exercisable only by the personal representative of Holder's
estate. Compliance with this provision is the responsibility of the Holder.
No transfer to heirs or legatees of Holder shall be effective to bind the
Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice
thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Board may deem necessary to
establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee
or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof.

     3.   ANTIDILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.  The number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable on the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate, and the Exercise Price, shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

          (a)  MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS AND RECLASSIFICATIONS. In case of any
reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate at any time (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 to which paragraph (b)
of this Section 3 applies), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another
corporation in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification or change 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 to which paragraph (b) of this Section 3
applies in the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), Holder shall
have, and the Company, or such successor corporation or other entity, shall
covenant in the constituent documents effecting any of the foregoing
transactions that Holder does have, the right to obtain upon the exercise of the
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, in lieu of each share of Common
Stock, other securities, money or other property theretofore issuable upon
exercise of a Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities,
money or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation or merger by a holder of



<PAGE>

the shares of Common Stock, other securities, money or other property
issuable upon exercise of a Warrant if the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate had been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification,
change, consolidation or merger. The constituent documents effecting any such
reclassification, change, consolidation or merger shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3. The provisions of
paragraph (a) of this Section 3 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations or mergers.

          (b)  SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS. If the Company shall subdivide its
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares (or pay to any holders of
securities of the Company a dividend payable in, or make any other distribution
of, Common Stock), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate shall be proportionately increased, as at the effective date of such
subdivision, dividend or distribution or if the Company shall take a record of
holders of its Common Stock for such purpose, as at such record date, whichever
is earlier. If the Company shall combine its shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate shall be proportionately reduced, as at the effective date of such
combination, or if the Company shall take a record of holders of its Common
Stock for purposes of such combination, as at such record date, whichever is
earlier.

          (c)  CALCULATION OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price in effect from
time to time shall be calculated to four decimal places and rounded to the
nearest thousandth.


     4.   ADJUSTMENT TO EXERCISE PRICE. Whenever the Exercise Price is required
to be adjusted as provided in Section 3, the Company shall forthwith compute the
adjusted Exercise Price and shall maintain a record setting forth such adjusted
Exercise Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based.

     5.   NOTICES TO HOLDER. In the event:

          (a)  of the conveyance or sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or of any reclassification or change of the Common Stock
or other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (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), or a tender offer or
exchange offer for all shares of Common Stock (or other securities issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrants); or

          (b)  the Company shall declare any dividend (or any other
distribution) on the Common Stock, other than regular cash dividends; or




<PAGE>

          (c)  the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of
Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
any class or series of capital stock; or

          (d)  of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company;

     the Company shall cause to be sent to Holder, at least 30 days prior to
the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or promptly in the case of
events for which there is no record date, a written notice stating (x) the
date for the determination of the holders of record of shares of Common Stock
(or other securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) entitled to
receive any such dividends or other distribution, (y) the initial expiration
date set forth in any tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common
Stock (or other securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants), or
(z) the date on which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or
consummated, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record
of shares of Common Stock (or other securities issuable upon the exercise of
the Warrants) shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or
other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant,
issuance, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action.

     6.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  Upon the acquisition of any shares pursuant
to the exercise of the Warrants, Holder (or Holder's estate if applicable)
will enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as
the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable
securities laws.  Notwithstanding any of the other provisions hereof, Holder
agrees that he will not exercise the Warrants, and that the Company will not
be obligated to issue any shares pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, if the
exercise of the Warrants or the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would
constitute a violation by Holder or by the Company of any provision of any
law or regulation of any governmental authority.

     7.   COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees that:

          (a)  Until the Expiration Date, the Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate
of its authorized but unissued Common Stock (and other securities), for the
purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue shares of Common
Stock (and other securities) upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by
this Warrant Certificate, the number of shares of Common Stock (and other
securities) issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants.

          (b)  All Common Stock (and other securities) which may be issued
upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall
upon issuance be validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.




<PAGE>

     8.   WITHHOLDING OF TAX. The Company may make such provisions as it may
deem appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which it determines is
required in connection with the Warrants.

     9.   NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Holder shall not, by virtue of holding such
Warrants, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company either at
law or in equity, and the rights of Holder are limited to those expressed
herein.

     10.  RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.  Holder agrees, for and on behalf of Holder
and Holder's heirs, personal representatives and successors, that the resolution
of any dispute or disagreement which may arise hereunder shall be determined by
the Board in its sole discretion and judgment, and that any such determination
and any interpretation by the Board of the terms of this Warrant Certificate
shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive, for all purposes, upon the
Company, Holder and Holder's heirs, personal representatives and successors.

     11.  NOTICES. All notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing and
may be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, telex,
telegram, telecopier, air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery of personal
delivery, if to Holder at the following address:
