     not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of
     Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an
     effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under
     the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

          (ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all
     certificates representing share of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise

     following form:

<PAGE>

          THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARE OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
          EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
          SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"),
          OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
          TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER
          THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
          LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS
          COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE
          SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE
          SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

          (iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (e) upon the
     transfer of this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased
     upon exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall have
     been effectively registered under the Securities Act, (B) upon the Issuer's
     receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonable
     satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer to the effect that such
     restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance with the
     Securities Act and state securities laws or (C) upon the Issuer's receipt
     of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such
     registration and qualification under state securities laws is not required/
     Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any such
     securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer
     (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other than
     applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of shares
     of Warrant Stock, new certificates) of like tenor not not bearing the
     applicable legend required by paragraph (ii) above relating to the
     Securities Act and state securities laws.

     (f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any
time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
provided that if any such holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligations of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.

     3. Stock Fully Paid:Reservation and Listing of Shares:Covenants.

     (a) Stock Full Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant or otherwise  hereunder  will, upon issuance,  be duly  authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges  created by or through  the Issuer.  The Issuer  further  covenants  and
agrees that during the period  within which this Warrant may be  exercised,  the
Issuer will at all times have  authorized  and  reserved  for the purpose of the
issue upon  exercise  of this  Warrant a  sufficient  number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.



<PAGE>

     (b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to
cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list
any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its
expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of,
all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under
the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock
which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock
shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.

     (c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent
specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuer will:

          (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed
     the then effective Warrant Price,

          (ii) no amend or modify an provision of the Certificate of
     Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely
     affect in any way the powers, preferences or relative participating,
     optional or other special rights of the Common Stock or which would
     adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants,

          (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order
     that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
     shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances
     and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this
     Warrant, and

                           (iv)  use  its  best   efforts  to  obtain  all  such
                  authorizations,   exemptions   or  consents  from  any  public
                  regulatory  body  having   jurisdiction   thereof  as  may  be
          reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its
                  obligations under this Warrant.

     (d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or



<PAGE>


destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer,
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.

     (e) Rights and Obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. The
shares of Warrant Stock are entitled to the benefits and subject to the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of even date herewith between the
Issuer and the Holder listed on the signature pages thereof (as amended from
time to time, the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Issuer shall keep or
cause to be kept a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments
thereto, at its chief executive office and shall furnish, without charge, copies
thereof to the Holder upon request.

     4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number and
kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events as follows:

     (a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation,
Merger or Sale.

     (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the
following (each, a "Triggering Event"):

               (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the
     Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such
     consolidation or merger, or

               (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the
     Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in
     connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the
     Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other
     Person or cash or any other property, or

               (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets
     to any other
                  Person, or

               (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its
     Capital Stock,

then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be
made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled (x) upon the exercise
hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the
extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, or is
redeemed in connection with such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant
Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such
Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this
Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to
which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such


<PAGE>


Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this
Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments and increases
(subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments provided for in Section 4 hereof or (y) to sell this Warrant (or, at
such Holder's election, a portion hereof) concurrently with the Triggering Event
to the Person continuing after or surviving such Triggering Event, or to the
Issuer (if Issuer is the continuing or surviving Person) at a sales price equal
to the amount of cash, property and/or Securities to which a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise have been delivered upon
the exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon the effective date of
closing of any such Triggering Event (the "Event Consideration"), less the
amount or portion of such Event Consideration having a fair value equal to the
aggregate Warrant Price applicable to this Warrant or the portion hereof so
sold.

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary,
the Issuer will not effect any Triggering Event unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required
to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer
under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such
Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release
the Issuer from, and continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant)
and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of Securities, cash
or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have
similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such holder, stating that this
Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof
(including, without limitation, all of the provisions of the subsection (a))
shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be
required to delivery upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.

     (iii) If with respect to any Triggering Event, the Holder of this Warrant
has exercised its right as provided in clause (y) of subparagraph (i) of this
subsection (a) to sell this Warrant or a portion thereof, the Issuer agrees that
as a condition to the consummation of any such Triggering Event the Issuer shall
secure such right of Holder to sell this Warrant to the Person continuing after
or surviving such Triggering Event and the Issuer shall not effect any such
Triggering Event unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof the amounts of
cash, property and/or Securities required under such clause (y) are delivered to
the Holder of this Warrant. The obligation of the Issuer to secure such right of
the Holder to sell this Warrant shall be subject to such Holder's cooperation
with the Issuer, including, without limitation, the giving of customary
representations and warranties to the purchaser in connection with any such
sale. Prior notice of any Triggering Event shall be given to the Holder of this
Warrant in accordance with Section 12 hereof.

     (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Issuer, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine any shares of Common
Stock, (i) in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately reduced (as at the effective date of such subdivision or, if the
Issuer shall take a record of Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of



<PAGE>


so subdividing, as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to
reflect the increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
as a result of such subdivision, or (ii) in the case of a combination of shares,
the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased (as at the effective date
of such combination or, if the Issuer shall take a record of Holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of so combining, as at the applicable record date,
whichever is earlier) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding as a result of such combination.

     (c) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, shall:

          (i) Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend in, or make any other distribution
     to its stockholders (without consideration therefor) or, shares of Common
     Stock, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, as at the date the Issuer shall
     take a record of the Holders of the Issuer's Capital Stock for the purpose
     of receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is
     taken, as at the date of such payment or other distribution), to that price
     determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
     such record date (or if no such record is taken, then immediately prior to
     such payment of other distribution), by a fraction (1) the numerator of
     which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
     immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (2) the denominator
     of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
     immediately after such dividend or distribution (plus in the event that the
     Issuer paid cash for fractional shares, the number of additional shares
     which would have been outstanding had the Issuer issued fractional shares
     in connection with said dividends); or

          (ii) Other Dividends. Pay a dividend on, or make any distribution of
     its assets upon or with respect to (including, but not limited to, a
     distribution of its property as a dividend in liquidation or partial
     liquidation or by way of return of capital), the Common Stock (other than
     as described in clause (i) of this subsection (c)), or in the event that
     the Company shall offer options or rights to subscribe for shares of Common
     Stock, or issue any Common Stock Equivalents, to all of its holders of
     Common Stock, then on the record date for such payment, distribution or
     offer, or, in the absence of a record date, on the date of such payment,
     distribution or offer, the Holder shall receive what the Holder would have
     received had it exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the
     record date of such payment, distribution or offer or, in the absence of a
     record date, immediately prior to the date of such payment, distribution or
     offer.

     (d) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary
or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock
at a price per share greater than the Per Share Market Value then in effect,
then the Warrant Price upon each such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall
be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition
minus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for
the total number of such shares of Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or


<PAGE>

acquired would purchase at the Per Share Market Value; and (ii) the denominator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this
subsection (f), the date as of which the Per Share Market Value shall be
computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter
into a firm contract for the purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common
Stock, or (y) the date of actual purchase, redemption or acquisition of such
Common Stock. For the purposes of this subsection (f), a purchase, redemption or
acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be a purchase of the
underlying Common Stock, and the computation herein required shall be made on
the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock
Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required hereby to be
made, whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable,
convertible or exchangeable on such date.

     (e) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section 4. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments in the
Warrant Price hereinbefore provided in Section 4:

          (i) Computation of Consideration. The consideration received by the
     Issuer shall be deemed to be the following: to the extent that any
     Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be
     issued for a cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer
     therefor, or if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
     Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription
     price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
     Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without
     a subscription offering, the public offering price, in any such case
     excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued
     dividends and without deduction of any compensation, discounts,
     commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for or in
     connection with the underwriting thereof or otherwise in connection with
     the issued thereof; to the extent that such issuance shall be for a
     consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly
     provided, the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such
     issuance as determined in good faith by the Board. The consideration for
     any Additional Shares of common Stock issuable pursuant to any Common Stock
     Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing
     such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration payable to
     the Issuer upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock
     Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares
     of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of
     any dividend upon any class of Capital Stock of the Issuer other than
     Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such
     Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a
     consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. In
     any case in which the consideration to be received or paid shall be other
     than cash, the Board shall notify the Holder of this Warrant of its
     determination of the fair market value of such consideration prior to
     payment or accepting receipt thereof. If, within thirty days after receipt
     of said notice, the Majority Holders shall notify the Board in writing of
     their objection to such determination, a determination of the fair market
     value of such consideration shall be made by an Independent Appraiser
     selected by the Majority Holders with the approval of the Board (which
     approval shall not be unreasonable withheld), whose fees and expenses shall
     be paid by the Issuer.

<PAGE>


          (ii) Readjustment of Warrant Price. Upon the expiration or termination
     of the right to convert, exchange or exercise any Common Stock Equivalent
     the issuance of which effected an adjustment in the Warrant Price, if such
     Common Stock Equivalent shall not have been converted, exercised or
     exchanged in its entirety, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to
     be issued and outstanding by reason of the fact that they were issuable
     upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any such Common Stock Equivalent
     shall no longer be computed as set forth above, and the Warrant Price shall
     forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have
     been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Warrant Price made
     pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 after the issuance of such
     Common Stock Equivalent) had the adjustment of the Warrant Price been made
     in accordance with the issuance or sale of the number of Additional Shares
     of Common Stock actually issued upon conversion, exchange or issuance of
     such Common Stock Equivalent and thereupon only the number of Additional
     Shares of Common Stock actually so issued shall be deemed to have been
     issued and only the consideration actually received by the Issuer (computed
     as in clause (i) of this subsection (g) shall be deemed to have been
     received by the Issuer.

          (iii) Outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of common Stock
     at any time outstanding shall (A) not include any shares thereof then
     directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Issuer or
     any of its Subsidiaries, and (B) be deemed to include all shares of Common
     Stock then issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any then
     outstanding Common Stock Equivalents or any other evidences of
     Indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or other Securities which are or may
     be at any time convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
     or Other Common Stock.

     (f) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case after the Original Issue
Date the Issuer shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than an
action described in any of the foregoing subsections (a) through (g) of this
Section 4, inclusive, and the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly
protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the
essential intent and principle of this Section 4, then the Warrant Price shall
be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith
determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

     (g) Adjustment of Warrant Share Number. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant
Price pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Warrant
Share Number shall be adjusted, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share,
to the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number immediately
prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Warrant Price immediately before giving effect to such
adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately
after giving effect to such adjustment. If the Issuer shall be in default under
any provision contained in Section 3 of this Warrant so that shares issued at
the Warrant Price adjusted in accordance with this Section 4 would not be
validly issued, the adjustment of the Warrant Share Number provided for in the



<PAGE>


foregoing sentence shall nonetheless be made and the Holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled to purchase such greater number of shares at the lowest price
at which such shares may then be validly issued under applicable law. Such
exercise shall not constitute a waiver of any claim arising against the Issuer
by reason of its default under Section 3 of this Warrant.

     (h) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be
changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind
of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

     5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of

such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance
of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any

Holder or Holder of Warrant Stock.

agency legally empowered to enforce any provision contained herein, any
provision hereof is found to be unenforceable, then such provision shall be
deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or
