such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall
give written notice to the Company upon the occurrence of: (a) either (i) the
Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the
Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed
disposition has been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company
has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such
registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities
laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable
assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration
or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not
required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid
exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such
notice from a holder within three (3) business days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this Section 3(b), the Company will use reasonable efforts to
comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall
in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is

transfer contained in this Section 3(b) shall be in addition to, and not by way

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

            (a) The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be
reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of these Special Warrants such
number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or other securities
of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of these Special
Warrants as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of these Special
Warrants. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such
exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear
of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions
on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights.

            (b) The Company shall not by any action, including, without
limitation, amending its articles 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 of these Special Warrants, 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 Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of these Special
Warrants and (ii) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations
under these Special Warrants.

            (c) Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in
the number of shares of Common Stock for which these Special Warrants are
exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such
authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

            (d) The Company covenants that during the period these Special
Warrants is outstanding, it will use its best efforts to comply with any and all
reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

            (e) The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be
necessary (i) to maintain a Principal Market for its Common Shares in the United
States and (ii) to assure that such Warrant Stock may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Principal Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

            (f) The Company shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence
and all licenses and permits that are material to the proper conduct of its
business and it shall refrain from changing its name.

            (g) The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in
any manner which prevents the timely exercise of these Special Warrants.

        5. Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant; Registration

            (a) Each taker and holder of this Warrant Certificate by taking or
holding the same, consents and agrees that the registered holder hereof may be
treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant
Certificate as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person
entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby.


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

            (b) The Holder agrees that it will not transfer, hypothecate, sell,
assign, pledge or encumber any Special Warrants or Warrant Shares unless such
securities are registered under the Securities Act and registered or qualified
under any applicable state securities laws or such transfer is effected pursuant
to an available exemption from registration.

            (c) The Holder of these Special Warrants has been granted certain
registration rights by the Company. The registration rights are set forth in
that certain Subscription Agreement; the terms of the Subscription Agreement are
incorporated herein by this reference. A copy of the Subscription Agreement is
available for inspection at the principal offices of the Company upon written
request.

      6. Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Exercise Price in effect at any time and
the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of these Special
Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events as follows:

            (a) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant
Shares shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such dividend, distribution,
subdivision, reclassification or combination. For example, if the Company
declares a 2-for-1 stock split and the number of Warrant Shares immediately
prior to such event was 200,000, the number of Warrant Shares immediately after
such event would be 400,000. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever
any event listed above shall occur.

            (b) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder of these Special Warrants thereafter
shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company, other than Common
Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of
these Special Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with
respect to the Common Stock contained in this Section 6.

            (c) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the
number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of these Special Warrants,
Special Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the
same number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant Certificate.

            (d) In case at any time or from time to time conditions arise by
reasons of action taken by the Company, which in the reasonable opinion of its
Board of Directors, are not adequately covered by the provisions of Section 6
hereof, and which might materially and adversely affect the exercise rights of
the Holder hereof, the Board of Directors shall appoint a firm of independent
certified public accountants, which may be the firm regularly retained by the
Company, which will give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis
consistent with the standards established in the other provisions of Section 6
necessary with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock for which these
Special Warrants are exercisable, so as to preserve, without dilution, the
exercise rights of the Holder. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Board of
Directors shall forthwith make the adjustments described therein.

      7. Loss or Destruction of Special Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and (in
the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory
indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant
Certificate, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor and date.
