Holders in the manner set forth in this Warrant. The Corporation shall be
entitled to treat the Holder of any Warrant as the owner in fact thereof for all
purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or
interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person. The Corporation shall
not be liable for complying with a request by a fiduciary or nominee of a
fiduciary to register a transfer of any Warrant which is registered in the name
of such fiduciary or nominee, unless made with the actual knowledge that such
fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such
registration of transfer, or with knowledge of such facts that the Corporation's
participation therein amounts to bad faith.

          SECTION 2.2. Exchange of Warrants for Warrants. (a) The Holder may
exchange this Warrant for another Warrant or Warrants of like kind and tenor
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant
Shares which could be purchased pursuant to the Warrant being so exchanged. In

deliver to the Corporation such Warrant accompanied by an Exchange Form in the
form attached hereto as Annex 3 signed by the Holder thereof specifying the
number and denominations of Warrants to be issued in such exchange and the
names in which such Warrants are to be issued. Within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt of such a request, the Corporation shall issue, register and deliver to
the Holder thereof each Warrant to be issued in such exchange.

          (b)  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation (an affidavit of the Holder being satisfactory) of the ownership
and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant, and in the case
of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity


                                        -4-
<PAGE>   5
reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (if the Holder is a creditworthy
financial institution or other creditworthy institutional investor its own
agreement being satisfactory) or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender of such Warrant, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and
deliver in lieu of such Warrant a new Warrant of like kind representing the same
rights represented by and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Warrant. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual
obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by any Person.

          (c) The Corporation shall pay all taxes (other than any applicable
income or similar taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant) attributable to an
exchange of a Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.2; provided, however, that the
Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant in a name other than
that of the Holder of the Warrant being exchanged.

          SECTION 2.3. Transfer of Warrant. (a) Subject to Section 2.3(c) hereof
and the Stockholders Agreement, each Warrant may be transferred by the Holder
thereof by delivering to the Corporation such Warrant accompanied by a properly
completed Assignment Form in the form of Annex 2. Within ten (10) Business Days
of receipt of such Assignment Form the Corporation shall issue, register and
deliver to the Holder, subject to Section 2.3(c) hereof, a new Warrant or
Warrants of like kind and tenor representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the same number of Warrant Shares which could be purchased pursuant to
the Warrant being transferred. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, the
original power of attorney, duly approved, or a copy thereof, duly certified,
shall be deposited and remain with the Corporation. In case of transfer by
executors, administrators, guardians or other legal representatives, duly
authenticated evidence of their authority shall be produced and may be required
to be deposited and remain with the Corporation in its discretion.

          (b) Each Warrant issued in accordance with this Section 2.3 shall bear
the restrictive legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, unless the Holder
or transferee thereof supplies to the Corporation an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that the restrictions described in
such legend are no longer applicable to such Warrant.

          (c) The transfer of Warrants and Warrant Shares shall be permitted, so
long as such transfer is pursuant to a transaction that complies with, or is
exempt from, the provisions of the Securities Act, and the Corporation may
require an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
it to such effect prior to effecting any transfer of Warrants or Warrant Shares.


                                   ARTICLE III

                EXERCISE OF WARRANT; EXCHANGE FOR WARRANT SHARES

          SECTION 3.1. Exercise of Warrants. On any Business Day prior to the
Expiration Date, a Holder may exercise a Warrant, in whole or in part, by
delivering to the Corporation such Warrant accompanied by a properly completed
Exercise Form in the form of Annex 1 and a check in an aggregate amount equal to
the product obtained by multiplying (a) the Exercise Price by (b) the

                                       -5-




<PAGE>   6





number of Warrant Shares being purchased; provided, however, in the event the
Holder exercises this Warrant in connection with or immediately prior to a sale
by the Holder of Warrant Shares, in lieu of paying the applicable Exercise Price
therefor, the Holder may elect to receive that number of Warrant Shares which is
equal to the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised less the
number of shares having a fair market value (determined by reference to the
price per share at which the Holder is selling the Warrant Shares) equal to such
applicable Exercise Price. Any partial exercise of a Warrant shall be for a
whole number of Warrant Shares only.

          SECTION 3.2. Issuance of Common Stock.


          (a) Within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery date (the
"Delivery Date") of (i) an Exercise Form or Exchange Form in accordance with
Section 3.1 or 3.2, (ii) a Warrant and (iii) any required payments of the
Exercise Price, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the Holder a
certificate or certificates, registered in the name or names set forth on such
notice, representing the Warrant Shares being purchased or to be received upon
such exchange.

          (b) If a Holder shall exercise or exchange a Warrant for less than all
of the Warrant Shares which could be purchased or received thereunder, the
Corporation shall issue to the Holder, within ten (10) Business Days of the
Delivery Date, a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining
Warrant Shares. Each Warrant surrendered pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be
canceled.

          (c) The Corporation shall pay all taxes (other than any applicable
income or similar taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant) attributable to the
initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise or exchange of a Warrant;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any
Warrant or any certificate for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the
Holder of the Warrant being exercised or exchanged.

          (d) The person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common
Stock is issued upon exercise or exchange of a Warrant shall for all purposes be
deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the Delivery Date,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the
Delivery Date is a date when the stock transfer books of the Corporation are
closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock
transfer books are open.

          (e) If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes
of the exercise or exchange of a Warrant require registration or approval under
any applicable law, the Corporation will in good faith and as expeditiously as
possible cause such shares to be registered or seek such approval, as
applicable. The Corporation may suspend the exercise of any Warrant so affected
for the period during which such registration or approval is required but not in
effect.

          SECTION 3.3. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant
Shares. The number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this
Section 3.3.

<PAGE>   7
          SECTION 3.3.1. Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. If, at
any time after the Closing Date, (a) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding is increased by a dividend or other distribution payable in shares
of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock or (b)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination
or reverse stock split of shares of Common Stock, then, in each case, effective
as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any,
of such event, (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to a price determined by
multiplying (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event by
(B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to
such event, and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares subject to purchase upon the
exercise of any Warrant shall be adjusted effective at such time, to a number
equal to the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares subject to purchase
upon the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such event by (B) a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis after giving effect to such event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
on a Fully Diluted Basis immediately prior to such event.

          SECTION 3.3.2. Capital Reorganization or Capital Reclassifications.
If, at any time after the Closing Date, there shall be any capital
reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation
(other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no
par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision,
split-up or combination of shares), then in each case the Corporation shall
cause effective provision to be made so that each Warrant shall, effective as of
the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such
event, be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of shares of
stock, other securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise or exchange of such Warrant
would have been entitled upon such reorganization or reclassification and any
such provision shall include adjustments in respect of such stock, securities or
other property that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Warrant with respect to such Warrant.

          SECTION 3.3.3. Consolidations and Mergers. If, at any time after the
date hereof, the Corporation shall consolidate with, merge with or into, or
sell all or substantially all of its assets or property to, another
corporation, then the Corporation shall cause effective provision to be made so
that this Warrant shall, effective as of the effective date of such event
retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or
exchangeable for the kind and number of shares of stock, other securities, cash
or other property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant would have been entitled
upon such event.

          SECTION 3.3.4. Notice; Calculations; Etc. Whenever the Exercise Price
and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted as provided in this Section
3.3, the Corporation shall provide to each Holder a statement, signed by an
Executive Officer, describing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and
setting forth a calculation of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant
Shares applicable to each Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. All
calculations under this Section 3.3 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth
of a cent ($.0001) or so to the nearest one-tenth of a share, as the case may
be.
