exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,  acknowledge in

shall  fail to make  any  such  request,  such  failure  shall  not  affect  the

            1.4 TRUSTEE FOR WARRANT  HOLDERS.  In the event that a bank or trust

successor,  as the case may be, on  exercise  of this  Warrant  pursuant to this
Section 1.

2. PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE.

            2.1 DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES,  ETC., ON EXERCISE.  The Company
agrees that the shares of Common Stock  purchased  upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as
of the close of  business  on the date on which  this  Warrant  shall  have been
surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith.  As soon as
practicable  after the exercise of this  Warrant in full or in part,  and in any
event  within  three (3) business  days  thereafter,  the Company at its expense
(including  the payment by it of any  applicable  issue  taxes) will cause to be
issued in the name of and  delivered  to the  Holder,  or as such  Holder  (upon
payment  by  such  Holder  of any  applicable  transfer  taxes)  may  direct  in
compliance with applicable  securities  laws, a certificate or certificates  for
the number of duly and validly issued,  fully paid and  nonassessable  shares of
Common  Stock (or Other  Securities)  to which such Holder  shall be entitled on
such exercise,  plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would
otherwise be entitled,  cash equal to such fraction  multiplied by the then Fair
Market  Value  of one  full  share,  together  with  any  other  stock  or other
securities and property  (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

            2.2  EXERCISE.  (a)  Payment  may be made  either  (i) in cash or by
certified or official  bank check  payable to the order of the Company  equal to
the applicable  aggregate  Exercise Price, (ii) by delivery of this Warrant,  or
shares of Common Stock  and/or  Common Stock  receivable  upon  exercise of this
Warrant in accordance  with Section (b) below,  or (iii) by a combination of any
of the  foregoing  methods,  for the number of Common  Shares  specified in such
Exercise  Notice (as such  exercise  number  shall be  adjusted  to reflect  any
adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock  issuable to the Holder
per the  terms  of this  Warrant);  provided,  however,  that if at the  time of
delivery  of an  Exercise  Notice the shares of Common  Stock to be issued  upon
payment of the Exercise Price have been  registered  under the Securities Act of
1933,  as amended  (the  "Securities  Act"),  and are  covered  by an  effective
registration  statement under the Securities Act,  payment of the Exercise Price
may only be made  pursuant  to clause (i) above and may not be made  pursuant to
clause (ii) or (iii) above.  Upon  receipt by the Company of an Exercise  Notice
and proper payment of the aggregate  Exercise Price,  the Holder shall thereupon
be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid
and  non-assessable  shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)  determined as
provided herein.

      (b)  Notwithstanding  any provisions  herein to the contrary,  if the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at
the date of calculation as set


                                       3
<PAGE>

forth below),  in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect
to receive shares equal to the value (as  determined  below) of this Warrant (or
the  portion  thereof  being  exercised)  by  surrender  of this  Warrant at the
principal  office of the Company  together with the properly  endorsed  Exercise
Notice,  in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares
of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

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

      Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder

      Y =       the  number of shares of Common  Stock  purchasable  under  this
                Warrant  or,  if  only  a  portion  of  this  Warrant  is  being
                exercised,  the portion of this Warrant being  exercised (at the
                date of such calculation)

      A =       the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common Stock
                (at the date of such calculation)

      B =       the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

3. EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION, ETC.; ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.

            3.1 REORGANIZATION,  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case at any time
or from  time to time,  the  Company  shall  (a)  effect a  reorganization,  (b)
consolidate  with or  merge  into  any  other  person,  or (c)  transfer  all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement  contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case,  as a condition  to the  consummation  of such a  transaction,  proper and
adequate  provision  shall be made by the  Company  whereby  the  Holder of this
Warrant,  on the exercise  hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the
consummation of such  reorganization,  consolidation  or merger or the effective
date of such  dissolution,  as the case may be,  shall  receive,  in lieu of the
Common  Stock (or Other  Securities)  issuable  on such  exercise  prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including  cash) to which  such  Holder  would  have  been  entitled  upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such
Holder had so exercised this Warrant,  immediately prior thereto, all subject to
further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.

            3.2  DISSOLUTION.  In the event of any  dissolution  of the  Company
following the transfer of all or substantially  all of its properties or assets,
the Company,  concurrently with any distributions  made to holders of its Common
Stock,  shall at its expense  deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the
stock and other  securities  and property  (including  cash,  where  applicable)
receivable  by the Holder of this  Warrant  pursuant to Section  3.1, or, if the
Holder shall so instruct the Company,  to a bank or trust  company  specified by
the Holder and having its  principal  office in New York,  NY as trustee for the
Holder of this Warrant (the "Trustee").

            3.3 CONTINUATION OF TERMS. Upon any  reorganization,  consolidation,
merger or transfer (and any dissolution  following any transfer)  referred to in
this  Section 3, this  Warrant  shall  continue in full force and effect and the
terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of


                                       4
<PAGE>

stock and other  securities  and  property  receivable  on the  exercise of this
Warrant after the consummation of such  reorganization,  consolidation or merger
or the effective  date of dissolution  following any such transfer,  as the case
may be,  and  shall be  binding  upon  the  issuer  of any  such  stock or other
securities,  including,  in the case of any such transfer,  the person acquiring
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company,  whether or
not such  person  shall  have  expressly  assumed  the terms of this  Warrant as
provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force
and effect after the consummation of the transactions  described in this Section
3, then the Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable)
receivable  by the Holders of the  Warrant  will be  delivered  to Holder or the
Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.

4.  EXTRAORDINARY  EVENTS  REGARDING COMMON STOCK. In the event that the Company
      shall (a) issue  additional  shares of the Common  Stock as a dividend  or
      other  distribution  on  outstanding  Common Stock or any preferred  stock
      issued by the Company,  (b)  subdivide  its  outstanding  shares of Common
      Stock,  or (c) combine its  outstanding  shares of the Common Stock into a
      smaller  number of  shares  of the  Common  Stock  (each of the  preceding
      clauses (a) through (c), inclusive, an "Event"), then, in each such event,
      the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter,  on
      the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall
      be increased or decreased to a number determined by multiplying the number
      of shares of Common Stock that would,  immediately prior to such Event, be
      issuable  upon the exercise of this Warrant by a fraction of which (a) the
      numerator is the number of issued and  outstanding  shares of Common Stock
      immediately  after such Event,  and (b) the  denominator  is the number of
      issued and outstanding  shares of Common Stock  immediately  prior to such
      Event.

5. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment
      in the  shares of  Common  Stock (or  Other  Securities)  issuable  on the
      exercise of this Warrant,  the Company at its expense will promptly  cause
      its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate  designee to compute such
      adjustment or  readjustment  in accordance  with the terms of this Warrant
      and prepare a certificate  setting forth such  adjustment or  readjustment
      and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment
      is based,  including  a  statement  of (a) the  consideration  received or
      receivable  by the Company for any  additional  shares of Common Stock (or
      Other  Securities)  issued or sold or deemed to have been  issued or sold,
      (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding
      or deemed to be outstanding,  and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of
      shares of Common Stock to be received upon  exercise of this  Warrant,  in
      effect  immediately  prior  to  such  adjustment  or  readjustment  and as
      adjusted  or  readjusted  as provided in this  Warrant.  The Company  will
      forthwith  mail a copy of each  such  certificate  to the  Holder  of this
      Warrant  and any  Warrant  agent of the  Company  (appointed  pursuant  to
      Section 11 hereof).

6. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The Company will
      at all times reserve and keep available,  solely for issuance and delivery
      on the  exercise  of this  Warrant,  shares  of  Common  Stock  (or  Other
      Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.

      securities  laws, this Warrant,  and the rights evidenced  hereby,  may be

      aggregate on the face or faces  thereof for the number of shares of Common

      Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and,
      in the case of any such loss,  theft or  destruction  of this Warrant,  on
      delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably  satisfactory in
      form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation,  on
      surrender and  cancellation  of this  Warrant,  the Company at its expense

      entered  into by the Company and the initial  Holder of this  Warrant,  as
      amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

10. MAXIMUM  EXERCISE.  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary,  in no
      event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant
      in excess of that portion of this  Warrant upon  exercise of which the sum
      of (1) the  number of shares of  Common  Stock  beneficially  owned by the
      Holder and its Affiliates  (other than shares of Common Stock which may be
      deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion
      of the  Warrant or the  unexercised  or  unconverted  portion of any other
      security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion  analogous to
      the limitations  contained  herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common
      Stock  issuable  upon the  exercise  of the portion of this  Warrant  with
      respect to which the  determination  of this proviso is being made,  would
      result in  beneficial  ownership by the Holder and its  Affiliates  of any
      amount greater than 4.99% of the then  outstanding  shares of Common Stock
      (whether  or not,  at the  time  of  such  exercise,  the  Holder  and its
      Affiliates beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares
      of Common Stock). As used herein, the term "Affiliate" means any person or
      entity that,  directly or indirectly  through one or more  intermediaries,
      controls or is controlled  by or is under common  control with a person or
      entity,  as such terms are used in and construed  under Rule 144 under the
      Securities  Act.  For  purposes  of the  proviso to the  second  preceding
      sentence,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined  in accordance  with
      Section  13(d) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended,  and
      Regulations 13D-G thereunder,  except as otherwise  provided in clause (1)
      of such proviso. The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the
      Holder upon provision


                                       6
<PAGE>

      of no less than  sixty-one  (61) days prior  notice to the Company and (y)
      shall  automatically  become null and void following notice to the Company
      upon the occurrence and during the  continuance of an Event of Default (as
      defined in either Note referred to in the Purchase  Agreement  dated as of
      the date hereof  among the Holder and the Company (as  amended,  modified,
      restated   and/or   supplemented   from  time  to  time,   the   "Purchase
      Agreement")).

      11.  RESTRICTION.  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained
herein,  the Holder  hereby agrees that during the period on and after the Issue
Date and prior to the date that is the one year  anniversary  of the Issue Date,
it shall not sell any Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Warrant..

12. WARRANT  AGENT.  The Company  may, by  written  notice to the Holder of this
      Warrant,  appoint an agent for the  purpose of  issuing  Common  Stock (or
      Other  Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant  pursuant to Section 1,
      exchanging this Warrant  pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant
      pursuant to Section 8, or any of the  foregoing,  and  thereafter any such
      issuance,  exchange or  replacement,  as the case may be, shall be made at
      such office by such agent.

13. TRANSFER  ON THE COMPANY'S  BOOKS.  Until this Warrant is transferred on the
      books of the Company,  the Company may treat the registered  Holder hereof
      as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes,  notwithstanding any notice
      to the contrary.

14. NOTICES,  ETC. All notices and other  communications from the Company to the
      Holder  of this  Warrant  shall be  mailed by first  class  registered  or
      certified  mail,  postage  prepaid,  at  such  address  as may  have  been
      furnished  to the  Company in writing  by such  Holder or,  until any such
      Holder  furnishes  to the Company an address,  then to, and at the address
      of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the
      Company.

15. MISCELLANEOUS.  This  Warrant  and any term  hereof may be changed,  waived,
      discharged  or terminated  only by an instrument in writing  signed by the
      party  against  which  enforcement  of such change,  waiver,  discharge or
      termination is sought.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
      accordance with the laws of State of New York without regard to principles
      of conflicts  of laws.  Any action  brought  concerning  the  transactions
      contemplated  by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of
      New York or in the  federal  courts  located  in the  state  of New  York;
      provided,  however, that the Holder may choose to waive this provision and
      bring an action outside the State of New York. The  individuals  executing
      this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the  jurisdiction
      of such courts and waive trial by jury. In the event that any provision of
      this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable  under any applicable  statute or
      rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent
      that it may  conflict  therewith  and shall be deemed  modified to conform
      with  such  statute  or rule of law.  Any such  provision  which may prove
      invalid or  unenforceable  under any law shall not affect the  validity or
      enforceability  of any other  provision of this  Warrant.  The headings in
      this Warrant are for purposes of  reference  only,  and shall not limit or
      otherwise   affect   any  of  the  terms   hereof.   The   invalidity   or
      unenforceability  of any  provision  hereof  shall  in no way  affect  the
      validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Company


                                       7
<PAGE>

      acknowledges  that legal counsel  participated  in the preparation of this
      Warrant and,  therefore,  stipulates  that the rule of  construction  that
      ambiguities  are to be resolved  against the  drafting  party shall not be
      applied in the  interpretation  of this Warrant to favor any party against
      the other party.

16.   PROXY.  For good and  valuable  consideration,  receipt of which is hereby
      acknowledged,  Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.,  hereby appoints the Company (the
      "Proxy  Holder"),  with a mailing  address at 1140 Pearl Street,  Boulder,
      Colorado  80302,  with full power of  substitution,  as proxy, to vote all
      shares of  Common  Stock of the  Company,  now or in the  future  owned by
      Laurus Master Fund,  Ltd., but solely to the extent issuable upon exercise
