       FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the
undersigned,  IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (together
with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that



or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase,  during the
period  specified in this Warrant,  up to ________ shares (subject to adjustment
as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized,  validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable  Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal
to the Warrant Price then in effect,  subject,  however,  to the  provisions and
upon the terms and conditions  hereinafter set forth.  Capitalized terms used in
this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
specified in Section 7 hereof.

         1. Term.  The right to  subscribe  for and  purchase  shares of Warrant
Stock represented  hereby shall commence on the date of issuance of this Warrant
and shall  expire at 5:00 p.m.,  New York City time,  on January  13, 2004 (such
period being the "Term").

         2. Method of Exercise Payment: Issuance  of  New  Warrant: Transfer and
Exchange.

<PAGE>


         (a) Time of Exercise.  The purchase rights  represented by this Warrant
may be  exercised  in whole or in part at any time and from time to time  during
the Term.

         (b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part,  by the  surrender  of this Warrant  (with the  exercise  form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment  to the  Issuer  of an  amount of  consideration  therefor  equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of  Warrant  Stock  with  respect  to which  this  Warrant  is then being
exercised,  payable at such Holder's  election (i) by certified or official bank
check or (ii) by surrender to the Issuer for  cancellation  of a portion of this
Warrant  representing  that number of unissued  shares of Warrant Stock which is
equal  to the  quotient  obtained  by  dividing  (A)  the  product  obtained  by
multiplying  the  Warrant  Price by the number of shares of Warrant  Stock being
purchased upon such exercise by (B) the difference  obtained by subtracting  the
Warrant  Price from the Per Share Market Value as of the date of such  exercise,
or (iii) by a combination  of the foregoing  methods of payment  selected by the
Holder of this Warrant.  In any case where the  consideration  payable upon such
exercise is being paid in whole or in part pursuant to the  provisions of clause
(ii) of this  subsection  (b), such  exercise  shall be  accompanied  by written
notice from the Holder of this Warrant  specifying the manner of payment thereof
and containing a calculation  showing the number of shares of Warrant Stock with
respect to which rights are being  surrendered  thereunder and the net number of
shares to be issued after giving effect to such surrender.

         (c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the
rights  represented by this Warrant in accordance  with and subject to the terms
and  conditions  hereof,  (i)  certificates  for the shares of Warrant  Stock so
purchased  shall be dated the date of such  exercise and delivered to the Holder
hereof within a reasonable  time,  not  exceeding  three Trading Days after such
exercise,  and the  Holder  hereof  shall be deemed for all  purposes  to be the
Holder  of the  shares  of  Warrant  Stock so  purchased  as of the date of such
exercise,  and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant  representing
the  number of shares of  Warrant  Stock,  if any,  with  respect  to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised  (less any amount thereof which shall
have been  canceled  in  payment  or partial  payment  of the  Warrant  Price as
hereinabove  provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer's
expense within such time.

         (d) Transferability of Warrant.  This Warrant may not be transferred by
a Purchaser  without the prior written consent of the Company,  such consent not
to be  unreasonably  withheld.  If  transferred  pursuant to this  paragraph and
subject to the  provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2, this Warrant may
be  transferred  on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by
duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Issuer,  properly  endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the
form attached  hereto) and upon payment of any  necessary  transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.  This Warrant is exchangeable at
the  principal  office of the Issuer for  Warrants  for the purchase of the same
aggregate  number of shares of Warrant Stock,  each new Warrant to represent the
right to purchase  such number of shares of Warrant  Stock as the Holder  hereof
shall  designate at the time of such exchange.  All Warrants issued on transfers
or exchanges  shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with
this  Warrant  except  as to the  number of shares  of  Warrant  Stock  issuable
pursuant hereto.

         (e)      Compliance with Securities Laws.

                  (i)  The  Holder  of  this  Warrant,   by  acceptance  hereof,
         acknowledges  that this  Warrant and the shares of Warrant  Stock to be
         issued upon exercise  hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's
         own  account  and  not as a  nominee  for  any  other  party,  and  for
         investment,  and that the  
                                       2

<PAGE>

         Holder will 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  shares of Warrant Stock issued upon
         exercise  hereof  shall  be  stamped  or  imprinted  with a  legend  in
         substantially the following form:

                           THE  SECURITIES  REPRESENTED  HEREBY  HAVE  NOT  BEEN
                  REGISTERED  WITH THE  SECURITIES  AND EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  IN
                  RELIANCE  UPON  AN  EXEMPTION  FROM  REGISTRATION   UNDER  THE
                  SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933,  AS AMENDED (THE  "SECURITIES  ACT"),
                  AND,  ACCORDINGLY,  MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
                  TO AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  UNDER THE SECURITIES
                  ACT  OR  PURSUANT  TO AN  AVAILABLE  EXEMPTION  FROM,  OR IN A
                  TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE  REGISTRATION  REQUIREMENTS OF
                  THE SECURITIES ACT.

                  (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  reasonably  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 or (C) upon the  Issuer's
         receipt of other evidence  reasonably  satisfactory  to the Issuer that
         such  registration 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
         stock  certificates)  of like tenor not bearing the applicable  legends
         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 or of any shares of Warrant Stock issued upon such exercise,  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 obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.

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

         (a) Stock Fully 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 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.

                                       3
<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) not amend or
modify any  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
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
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 Holders  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:


                                       4
<PAGE>


         (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 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) 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 or
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,  any  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 this subsection (a))
shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be
required to deliver  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


                                       5
<PAGE>

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 11 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 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) of,
         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 or
         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) Issuance of Additional  Shares of Common Stock.  If the Issuer,  at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Additional Shares of
Common  Stock  (otherwise  than as provided  in the  foregoing  subsections  (a)
through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price
then in effect or less than the Per Share Market Value then in effect or without
consideration,  then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted
to that price  (rounded to the  nearest  cent)  determined  by  multiplying  the
Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction:

                                       6
<PAGE>


                  (i) the  numerator  of which  shall be equal to the sum of (A)
         the number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding  immediately prior to
         the  issuance of such  Additional  Shares of Common  Stock plus (B) the
         number of shares of Common Stock  (rounded to the nearest  whole share)
         which  the  aggregate  consideration  for  the  total  number  of  such
         Additional  Shares of Common Stock so issued would  purchase at a price
         per share  equal to the greater of the Per Share  Market  Value then in
         effect and the Warrant Price then in effect, and

                  (ii) the  denominator of which shall be equal to the number of
         shares of Common Stock  outstanding  immediately  after the issuance of
         such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

The  provisions  of  this  subsection  (d)  shall  not  apply  under  any of the
circumstances for which an adjustment is provided in subsections (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section 4. No  adjustment  of the Warrant Price shall be made under this
subsection (d) upon the issuance of any Additional  Shares of Common Stock which
are issued pursuant to any Common Stock  Equivalent if upon the issuance of such
Common Stock  Equivalent  (x) any  adjustment  shall have been made  pursuant to
subsection (e) of this Section 4 or (Y) no adjustment  was required  pursuant to
subsection  (e) of this Section 4. No  adjustment  of the Warrant Price shall be
made under this  subsection  (d) in an amount less than $.01 per share,  but any
such lesser  adjustment  shall be carried  forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next  subsequent  adjustment,  if any, which together with
any  adjustments  so  carried  forward  shall  amount to $.01 per share or more,
provided  that  upon any  adjustment  of the  Warrant  Price as a result  of any
dividend or  distribution  payable in Common Stock or Convertible  Securities or
the reclassification,  subdivision or combination of Common Stock into a greater
or smaller  number of shares,  the  foregoing  figure of $.01 per share (or such
figure as last  adjusted)  shall be adjusted (to the nearest  one-half  cent) in
proportion to the adjustment in the Warrant Price.

         (e) Issuance of Common Stock  Equivalents.  If the Issuer,  at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding,  shall issue any Common Stock  Equivalent and
the price per share for which Additional  Shares of Common Stock may be issuable
thereafter  pursuant  to such  Common  Stock  Equivalent  shall be less than the
Warrant  Price  then in effect or less than the Per Share  Market  Value then in
effect,  or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock  Equivalents,  the price
per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter
is amended  or  adjusted,  and such  price as so amended  shall be less than the
Warrant  Price or less than the Per Share  Market Value in effect at the time of
such  amendment,  then the Warrant  Price upon each such  issuance or  amendment
shall be adjusted as provided in the first  sentence of  subsection  (d) of this
Section 4 on the basis  that (1) the  maximum  number  of  Additional  Shares of
Common Stock  issuable  pursuant to all such Common Stock  Equivalents  shall be
deemed to have been issued  (whether or not such Common  Stock  Equivalents  are
actually then  exercisable,  convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as
of the  earlier  of (A) the date on which the  Issuer  shall  enter  into a firm
contract for the issuance of such Common  Stock  Equivalent,  or (B) the date of
actual  issuance  of  such  Common  Stock  Equivalent,  and  (2)  the  aggregate
consideration for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be the minimum  consideration  received or receivable by the Issuer
for the  issuance of such  Additional  Shares of Common  Stock  pursuant to such
Common Stock Equivalent.  No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under
this  subsection  (e) upon the  issuance of any  Convertible  Security  which is
issued  pursuant  to the  exercise  of any  warrants  or other  subscription  or
purchase rights  therefor,  if any adjustment shall previously have been made in
the  Warrant  Price then in effect upon the  issuance of such  warrants or other
rights  pursuant to this subsection (e). If no adjustment is required under this
subsection  (e)  upon  issuance  of any  Common  Stock  Equivalent  or  once  an
adjustment  is made under this  subsection  (e) based upon the Per Share  Market
Value in effect on the date of such adjustment,  no further  adjustment shall be
made  under  this  subsection  (e) based  solely  upon a change in the Per Share
Market Value after such date.

         (f) 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 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.

         (g) 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 issue 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


                                       8
<PAGE>

         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 unreasonably withheld), whose fees and expenses shall be paid by
         the Issuer.

                  (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 (including, without
         limitation,  the Preferred  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.

         (h) 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.

         (i)  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 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.

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.

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
this Warrant with  respect to the matters set forth in such  certificate  may at
the option of the Holder of this  Warrant be  submitted  to one of the  national
accounting  firms  currently  known as the "big five"  selected  by the  Holder,
provided  that the Issuer shall have ten days after  receipt of notice from such
Holder  of its  selection  of such firm to object  thereto,  in which  case such
Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of
objection.  The firm  selected by the Holder of this  Warrant as provided in the
preceding  sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written  opinion as to such
matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty days after  submission to it
of such dispute.  Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the Issuer.

         6.  Fractional  Shares.  No fractional  shares of Warrant Stock will be
issued in connection  with and exercise  hereof,  but in lieu of such fractional
shares,  the Issuer  shall make a cash payment  therefor  equal in amount to the
product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then
