                                REPRICING WARRANT


Warrant No.                                                 Dated: July 18, 2000

         FORTEL Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies
that for value received __________________________________, or its registered
assigns ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the Company the total number of
shares of common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant
Shares") calculated pursuant to Section 3 of this Warrant (subject to adjustment
for certain events as set forth herein) at an exercise price equal to $.001 per
share (the "Exercise Price"). Subject to the conditions for exercise set forth
herein, the Holder may acquire Warrant Shares hereunder at any time and from
time to time from the 22nd Trading Day (as defined in EXHIBIT A) following the
first date of issuance of this Warrant through the earlier to occur of (x) an
Expiration Event (as defined in Section 3(c)) and (y) 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on the 540th day following the Effective Date (as defined in EXHIBIT A)
(the early of (x) and (y), the "Expiration Date" and the period during which the
Holder may acquire Warrant Shares hereunder, the "Exercise Period"). This
Warrant is subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. Certain
capitalized terms used in this Warrant are defined in EXHIBIT A attached hereto.

         1. REGISTRATION OF WARRANT. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by
notice to the contrary.


                                       EXHIBIT 10(c)-1.
<PAGE>


         2. RESTRICTION ON ASSIGNMENTS AND REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS. (a) The
Company shall register the transfer of this Warrant in the Warrant Register upon
surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly
completed and signed, to the Company at the address specified in Section 12.
Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock,
in the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing
the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee.
The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.

         (b)      This Warrant may only be assigned together with the assignment
                  of the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the
                  Purchase Agreement.

         3.       DURATION AND EXERCISE.

         (a)      On any day during the Exercise Period on which the Adjustment
                  Price (as defined in EXHIBIT A) is less than $2.7375 (which
                  amount shall be subject to equitable adjustment for stock
                  splits, reverse splits and similar events), the Holder may
                  acquire up to a number of Warrant Shares calculated pursuant
                  to Section 3(b) by delivering to the Company a Form of
                  Election to Purchase.

         (b)      On any date of calculation during the Exercise Period, the
                  number of Warrant Shares available for purchase by the Holder
                  shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

      (Applicable Share Number) x [(1.2 x Purchase Price) - (Adjustment Price)]
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  Adjustment Price

                  If the number calculated in accordance with the foregoing
formula is zero or a negative number, the Holder shall not be obligated to
transfer any shares of Common Stock to the Company.

         (c)      If (i) after the Effective Date, the Per Share Market Value
                  (as defined in EXHIBIT A) for 22 consecutive Trading Days is
                  equal to or greater than $4.5625 (which amount shall be
                  subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, reverse
                  splits and similar events), (ii) during each of the Trading
                  Days used to satisfy clause (i) above the Underlying Shares
                  Registration Statement (as defined in Exhibit A) was effective
                  and the prospectus thereunder available for use by the Holder
                  to resell all of the Warrant Shares, (iii) during each of the
                  Trading Days used to satisfy clause (i) above the Common Stock
                  was listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange,
                  American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq
                  SmallCap Market, and (iv) the Company has a sufficient number
                  of available shares of Common Stock reserved to issue upon
                  exercise of this Warrant (an "EXPIRATION EVENT"), then all
                  Warrant Shares remaining unexercised hereunder shall expire
                  and the Holder shall have no further right to exercise this
                  Warrant, provided that any Form of Elections to Purchase
                  delivered prior to the Expiration Event shall be honored in
                  accordance with the terms hereof.


                                       EXHIBIT 10(c)-2.

         (d)      Subject to Section 3, this Warrant shall be exercisable by the
                  Holder on any Business Day during the Exercise Period before
                  6:30 P.M., New York City time. At 6:30 P.M., New York City
                  time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not
                  exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no
                  value.

         (e)      This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or,
                  from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant
                  Shares. The Holder shall not be required to deliver this
                  Warrant to the Company in order to acquire Warrant Shares
                  hereunder. Instead, the Holder shall prepare and deliver to
                  the Company a Form of Election to Purchase in the form
                  attached hereto, indicating thereon the Holder's calculation
                  of the number of Warrant Shares to which such exercise relates
                  and the Applicable Share Number at such time.

         4.       DELIVERY OF WARRANT SHARES.

         (a)      Upon delivery of the Form of Election to Purchase to the
                  Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 12 and
                  upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
                  Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder,
                  the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three
                  Business Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein))
                  issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant
                  Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive
                  legends except (i) either in the event that a registration
                  statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming
                  the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then
                  effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable
                  without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k)
                  promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                  "Securities Act"), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been
                  issued pursuant to a written agreement between the original
                  Holder and the Company, as required by such agreement. Any
                  person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares
                  shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such
                  Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. The
                  Company shall, upon request of the Holder, if available, use
                  its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
                  electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or
                  another established clearing corporation performing similar
                  functions.

         (b)      If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder certificate or
                  certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to
                  Section 4(a) by the third Trading Day after the Date of
                  Exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as
                  liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $3,000 for each day
                  after such third Trading Day until such certificates are
                  delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
                  pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver
                  certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise
                  within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have
                  the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in
                  equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
                  performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such
                  rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce
                  damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under
                  applicable law.


                                       EXHIBIT 10(c)-3.
<PAGE>


         (c)      In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
                  the Company fails to deliver to the Holder certificate or
                  certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to
                  Section 4(a) by the third Trading Day after the Date of
                  Exercise, and if after such third Trading Day the Holder
                  purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares
                  of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the
                  Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated
                  receiving upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company
                  shall pay (1) in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x)
                  the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage
                  commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
                  purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A)
                  the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to
                  deliver pursuant to Section 4(b) to deliver to the Holder in
                  connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the Per Share
                  Market Value at the time of the obligation giving rise to such
                  purchase obligation and (2) deliver to the Holder the number
                  of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the
                  Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery
                  obligations under Section 4(b). For example, if the Holder
                  purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of
                  $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
                  exercise of shares of Common Stock with a market price on the
                  date of exercise totaled $10,000, under clause (A) of the
                  immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required
                  to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company
                  written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in
                  respect of the Buy-In.

         (d)      The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares
                  in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and
                  unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the
                  Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect
                  to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against
                  any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
                  counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
                  breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of
                  any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged
                  violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
                  irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise
                  limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in
                  connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. If the Company
                  breaches its obligations under this Warrant, then, in addition
                  to any other liabilities the Company may have hereunder and
                  under applicable law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the
                  Holder on demand for all costs of collection and enforcement
                  (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses).

         5. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes
attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this
Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration
of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of
the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant
Shares upon exercise hereof.

                                       EXHIBIT 10(c)-4.

         6. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.

         7. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant
Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant
Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire
Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase
rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Section 8). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that
shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the
applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

         8. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. This Warrant is subject to the adjustments set
forth in this Section.

                  (i)      If the Company (i) shall pay a stock dividend (except
                           scheduled dividends paid on outstanding preferred
                           stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated
                           dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or
                           distributions on shares of its Common Stock or on any
                           other class of capital stock payable in shares of
                           Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of
                           Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii)
                           combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
                           smaller number of shares, then the Adjustment Price
                           shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
                           numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
                           Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
                           before such event and of which the denominator shall
                           be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
                           treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such
                           event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section
                           shall become effective immediately after the record
                           date for the determination of stockholders entitled
                           to receive such dividend or distribution and shall
                           become effective immediately after the effective date
                           in the case of a subdivision or combination, and
                           shall apply to successive such events.

                  (ii)     In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock
                           or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which
                           the Common Stock is converted into other securities,
                           cash or property, then the Holder shall have the
                           right thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into
                           the shares of stock and other securities and property
                           receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
                           Common Stock following such reclassification,
                           transfer or share exchange, and the Holder shall be
                           entitled upon such event to receive such

                                       EXHIBIT 10(c)-5.
<PAGE>


                           amount of securities or property equal to the amount
                           of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been
                           entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant
                           immediately prior to such reclassification or share
                           exchange. The terms of any such reclassification or
                           share exchange shall include such terms so as to
                           continue to give to the Holder the right to receive
                           the securities or property set forth in this Section
                           upon any exercise following any such
                           reclassification or share exchange.

                  (iii)    If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
                           outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of
                           Common Stock (and not to holders of this Warrant)
                           evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or
                           warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security
                           (excluding those referred to in Sections 8(i), (ii)
                           and (iv)), then in each such case the Adjustment
                           Price shall be determined by multiplying the
                           Adjustment Price in effect immediately prior to the
                           record date fixed for determination of stockholders
                           entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction
                           of which the denominator shall be the Adjustment
                           Price determined as of the record date mentioned
                           above, and of which the numerator shall be such
                           Adjustment Price on such record date less the then
                           fair market value at such record date of the portion

                           entitling any person to acquire shares of Common
                           Stock at a price per share less than the Adjustment
                           Price on the date of calculation (if the holder of
                           the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued
                           shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase

                           Adjustment Price, such issuance shall be deemed to
                           have occurred for less than the Adjustment Price),

                           Adjustment Price shall equal the lowest purchase
                           price, reset purchase price, exchange price or
                           conversion price applicable to such Common Stock
                           or Common Stock Equivalent (which may be expressed
                           as discounts to the market price of the Common Stock

                           Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent). Adjustments
                           under this Section shall be made at the time of the
                           issuance of such Common Stock or Common Stock
                           Equivalent so that the Holder need not wait until
                           actual conversion, rest or exchange to effect an
                           adjustment hereunder. The Company shall provide the
                           Holder written notice of the issuance of any Common
                           Stock or Common Stock Equivalent which would trigger
                           the operation of this Section within two Business
                           Days of the date of such issuance.

                  (v)      In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the
                           Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by
                           the Company of more than one-half of the assets of
                           the Company (on a book value basis) in one or a
                           series of related transactions, the Holder shall have
                           the right thereafter to (A) exercise this Warrant for
                           the shares of stock and other securities, cash and
                           property receivable upon or deemed to be held by
                           holders of Common Stock following such merger,
                           consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be
                           entitled upon such event or series of related events
                           to receive such amount of securities, cash and
                           property as the Common Stock for which this Warrant
                           could have been exercised immediately prior to such
                           merger, consolidation or sales would have been
                           entitled or (B) in the case of a merger or
                           consolidation, (x) require the surviving entity to
                           issue common stock purchase warrants equal to the
                           number Warrant Shares to which this Warrant then
                           permits, which newly warrant shall be identical to
                           this Warrant, and (y) simultaneously with the
                           issuance of such warrant, shall have the right to
                           exercise such warrant only into shares of stock and
                           other securities, cash and property receivable upon
                           or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
                           following such merger or consolidation. In the case
                           of clause (B), the exercise price for such new
                           warrant shall be based upon the amount of securities,
                           cash and property that each share of Common Stock
                           would receive in such transaction and the Adjustment
                           Price of this Warrant immediately prior to the
                           effectiveness or closing date for such transaction.
                           The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation
                           shall include such terms so as continue to give the
                           Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and
                           property set forth in this Section upon any
                           conversion or redemption following such event. This
                           provision shall similarly apply to successive such
                           events.

                  (vi)     For the purposes of this Section 8, the following
                           clauses shall also be applicable:

                           (1)      RECORD DATE. In case the Company shall take

                                    for the purpose of entitling them (A) to
                                    receive a dividend or other distribution
                                    payable in Common

                                    then such record date shall be deemed to be

                                    been issued or sold upon the declaration of
                                    such dividend or the making of such other
                                    distribution or the date of the granting of

                                    for the account of the Company, and the
                                    disposition of any such shares shall be
                                    considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

                  (vii)    All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made
                           to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a

                           notice.

         9. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in
one of the following manners:

         (a)      CASH EXERCISE. The Holder may deliver immediately available
                  funds; or

         (b)      CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Holder may indicate in the Form of
                  Election to Purchase that it will be utilizing cashless
                  exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder
                  the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

                                        X = Y [(A-B)/A]
         where:


                                        X = the number of Warrant Shares to be
                                        issued

         to the Holder.

                                        Y = the number of Warrant Shares with
                                        respect to which this Warrant is being
                                        exercised.

                                        A = the average of the closing sale
                                        prices of the Common Stock for the five
                                        trading days immediately prior to (but
                                        not including) the Date of Exercise as
                                        reported by Bloomberg Information
                                        Systems, Inc. (or any successor to its
                                        function of reporting stock prices).

                                        B = the Exercise Price.


For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
commenced, on the issue date.

         10.      CERTAIN EXERCISE RESTRICTIONS.

         (a)      A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent such
                  exercise would result in the Holder, together with any
                  affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
                  accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
                  rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then
                  issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including
                  shares issuable upon such exercise and held by such Holder
                  after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not
                  be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of
                  Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise hereunder,
                  unless the exercise at issue would result in the issuance of
                  shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.999% of the then
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other
                  shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an
                  affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
                  obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in
                  this Section will limit any particular exercise hereunder and
                  to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation
                  contained in this Section applies, the


                                       EXHIBIT 10(c)-9.

                  determination of which portion of this Warrant is
                  exercisable shall be the responsibility and obligation
                  of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Form of
                  Election to Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that,
                  without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its
                  affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance
                  in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company
                  shall notify the Holder of this fact
                  and shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of this
                  Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of Exercise in
                  accordance with the periods described herein and return such
                  excess portion of the Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of
                  this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself
                  and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior
                  notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by
                  any such waiver.

         (b)      A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent such
                  exercise would result in the Holder, together with any
                  affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
                  accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
                  rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then
                  issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including
                  shares issuable upon such exercise and held by such Holder
                  after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not
                  be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of
                  Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise hereunder,
                  unless the exercise at issue would result in the issuance of
                  shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other
                  shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an
                  affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
                  obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in
                  this Section will limit any particular exercise hereunder and
                  to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation
                  contained in this Section applies, the determination of which
                  portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the
                  responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has
                  delivered a Form of Election to Purchase for a number of
                  Warrant Shares that, without regard to any other shares that
                  the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would
                  result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount
                  hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact
                  and shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of this
                  Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of Exercise in
                  accordance with the periods described herein and return such
                  excess portion of the Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of
                  this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself
                  and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior
                  notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by
                  any such waiver.

         (c)      If the Company Stock is then listed for trading on the Nasdaq
                  or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and the Company has not obtained
                  the Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company
                  may not, upon exercise of this Warrant, issue in excess of the
                  product of (i) 5,341,126 Warrant Shares (which equals19.999%
                  of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the
                  Closing Date) and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x)
                  the number of shares of Common Stock issued and sold to the
                  original Holder on the Closing Date by (y) the number of
                  shares of Common Stock issued and sold by the Company on the
                  Closing Date (such number of shares, the "Issuable Maximum").
                  If any


                                       EXHIBIT 10(c)-10.
<PAGE>


                  Holder shall no longer hold Warrants then such Holder's
                  remaining portion of the Issuable Maximum shall be allocated
                  pro-rata among the remaining Holders. If on any Date of
                  Exercise (A) the Company Stock is listed for trading on the
                  Nasdaq or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, (B) the aggregate number
                  of shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable upon
                  exercise in full of this Warrant, together with any shares of
                  Common Stock previously issued upon exercise of this Warrant,
                  would equal or exceeds the Issuable Maximum, and (C) the
                  Company shall not have previously obtained the vote of
                  shareholders, if any, as may be required by the applicable
                  rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market to approve
                  the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the
                  Issuable Maximum pursuant to the terms hereof (the
                  "Shareholder Approval"), then the Company shall issue to the
                  Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
                  Issuable Maximum and, with respect to the shares whose
                  issuance would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock
                  in excess of the Issuable Maximum, (the "Excess Warrant
                  Shares"), the Holder shall have the option to require the
                  Company to either (1) use its best efforts to obtain the
                  Shareholder Approval applicable to such issuance as soon as
                  possible, but in any event no later than 60 days after such
                  request (such 60th day, the "Target Date") or (2) pay to the
                  Holder, within three (3) Trading Day's from the request
                  therefor, an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the
                  Excess Warrant Shares multiplied by (y) the closing sales
                  price of the Common Stock on the Date of Exercise giving rise
                  to the obligation to seek Shareholder Approval (the "Cash
                  Payment"). In the event the Holder has elected to require the
                  Company to seek the Shareholder Approval pursuant to clause
                  (1) of the immediately preceding sentence and the Company does
                  not obtain the Shareholder Approval on or prior to the Target
                  Date, then, on the Target Date, the Company shall pay the Cash
                  Payment to the Holder. If the Company fails to pay the Cash
                  Payment in full pursuant to this Section within seven (7) days
                  after the date payable, the Company will pay interest on such
                  amount at a rate of 18% per annum, or such lesser maximum
                  amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law, to the
                  Holder, accruing daily from the date payable until such
                  amount, plus all such interest thereon, is paid in full. The
                  Company and the Holder understand and agree that shares of
                  Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant and then
                  held by the Holder or an affiliate thereof may not cast votes
                  or be deemed outstanding for purposes of any vote to obtain
                  the Shareholder Approval.

         11. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant
Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of
a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 11, be issuable
on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal
to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

         12. NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the
earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is

         (a)      The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant.
                  Upon thirty days' notice to the Holder, the Company may
                  appoint a new warrant agent.

         (b)      Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant
                  agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any

                  shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or
                  any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
                  corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a

                  notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by
                  first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the
                  Holder's last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

         14.      MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a)      This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of
                  the parties hereto and their respective successors and
                  assigns. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by
                  the party against whom such amendment is sought to be
                  enforced.

         (b)      Subject to Section 14(a), above, nothing in this Warrant shall
                  be construed to give to any person or corporation other than

                  remedy or cause under this Warrant. This Warrant shall inure
                  to the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the
                  Holder.

         (c)      The corporate laws of the State of California shall govern all
                  issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
                  stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction,
                  validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall
                  be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with
                  the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to
                  the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company and
                  the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive
                  jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the
                  City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication
                  of any dispute hereunder

                  transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
                  hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any
                  suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
                  personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or
                  that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the

                  service of process and consents to process being served in any
                  such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
                  sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it
                  under this instrument and agrees that such service shall
                  constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
                  thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in
                  any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by

                  constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to
                  limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

         (e)      In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
                  shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity
                  and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of
                  this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired
                  thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree
                  upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
                  commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
                  agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this
                  Warrant.

<PAGE>

                                    EXHIBIT A


         - "Adjustment Price" means the average of the two lowest Per Share
Market Values (which need not occur on consecutive Trading Days) during the 10
Trading Days preceding a Date of Exercise (which may include Trading Days prior
to the date on which the Holder may first exercise this Warrant) PROVIDED, that
such 10 Trading Day period shall be extended for the number of Trading Days
during such period in which (A) trading in the Common Stock is suspended by the
Nasdaq or a Subsequent Market on which the Common Stock is then listed, or (B)
after the Effective Date, the Underlying Shares Registration Statement is either
not effective, or the Prospectus included in the Underlying Shares Registration
Statement may not be used by the Holder for the resale of Underlying Shares. The
Adjustment Price as used in the calculation to determine the number of Warrant
Shares which may be acquired hereunder pursuant to Section 3(b) is subject to
adjustment in accordance with Section 8. The Adjustment Price as considered in
Section 3(a) shall not be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8.

         - "Applicable Share Number" means the number of shares of Common Stock
