Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that would terminate the
Warrant. This Warrant is exercisable at thirty-five cents ($.35) per share (the
"Initial Exercise Price"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the occurrence of any of
the events specified in Section 6 hereof, the rights granted by this Warrant,
including the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon such
exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified.

1.    DEFINITIONS.

      1.1   EXERCISE PRICE.  The term "Exercise Price" shall mean the Initial
Exercise Price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context, of a
share of Common Stock.

      1.2   SECURITIES. The term "Securities" shall mean the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

2.    EXERCISE.

attached hereto must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company
on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any


<PAGE>

business day on or prior to the Expiration Date, together with the surrender of
this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price for the Securities being
purchased. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised
at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall
become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented
hereby shall cease and expire.

      2.2   LEGEND. Each certificate for Securities purchased under this Warrant
shall bear a legend as follows, unless such Securities have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"):

      The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
      under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") or applicable state
      law. The securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise
      transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under
      the Act or applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an opinion of
      counsel satisfactory to the Company stating that an exemption from such
      registration is available for such sale and transfer.

      2.3   EXERCISE RIGHT.

            2.3.1 EXERCISE IN FULL. The Holder of this Warrant may exercise it
in full by surrendering this Warrant, with the form of exercise notice annexed
hereto and duly executed by such Holder, to the Company at its principal office.
The surrendered Warrant shall be accompanied by payment: in cash, by wire
transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common
Stock subject to this Warrant by the Exercise Price.

            2.3.2 PARTIAL EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised in part (a
minimum of 100,000 shares unless otherwise mutually agreed) by surrender of this
Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in this Section 2.3 for the
amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock the
Holder of this Warrant chooses to purchase as shall be designated by the Holder
in the exercise notice annexed hereto by (b) the Exercise Price. On any such
partial exercise (a minimum of 100,000 shares unless otherwise mutually agreed),
subject to the provisions of Section 2 hereof, the Company at its expense will
forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new
Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such
Holder may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for
the number of shares of Common Stock remaining subject to this Warrant after the
exercise contemplated herein.

            2.3.3 COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise, exchange or transfer this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder
hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder
or transferee any rights to which such Holder or transferee shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise, exchange or transfer in accordance with the
provisions of this Warrant, provided that if the Holder of this Warrant shall
fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing
obligation of the Company to afford to such Holder or transferee any such
rights.

            2.3.4 DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES, ETC., ON EXERCISE. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within twenty (20) days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including
the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the
name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by
such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or
certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares to which
such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, and any fractional Share to
which such Holder would otherwise be entitled shall be eliminated pursuant to
Section 6.3.

            2.3.5 NO SHAREHOLDER  RIGHTS.  Nothing  contained  herein shall be
construed to confer upon the Holder any of the rights of a shareholder  of the
Company until after such Warrant is exercised.

3.    TRANSFER.

      3.1   RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY THE SECURITIES ACT. This Warrant and the
Securities underlying this Warrant shall not be transferred unless and until (i)
the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that such
securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under
the Act, and applicable state law, the availability of which is established to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, or (ii) a registration statement
relating to such Securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and compliance with applicable
state law.

4.    NEW WARRANTS TO BE ISSUED.

      4.1   PARTIAL EXERCISE OR TRANSFER. Subject to the restrictions in Section
3 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the
event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part (a minimum exercise of
100,000 shares unless otherwise mutually agreed), upon surrender of this Warrant
for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form
and funds (or conversion equivalent) sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or
transfer tax, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without
charge a new Warrant of like tenor to this Warrant in the name of the Holder
evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock and Warrants purchasable hereunder as to which this Warrant has not
been exercised or assigned.

      4.2   LOST CERTIFICATE. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory to the Company or its agent of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification as
required by the Company's transfer agent, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and
delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall
constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

5.    REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder of this Warrant have been granted certain
registration rights. The shares of common stock underlying this Warrant shall be
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Registration
Statement as soon as practicable from the date hereof, but in no event later
than January 16, 2001. The Holders shall be entitled to exercise such
registration rights prior to the Exercise Date defined above.

6.    ADJUSTMENTS.

      6.1   ADJUSTMENTS.

            6.1.1 GENERAL. If the Company shall pay a dividend in shares of its
Common Shares, subdivide (split) its outstanding shares of Common Stock, combine
(reverse split) its outstanding shares of Common Stock, issue by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares or other securities of
the Company, or distribute to holders of its Common Stock any securities of the
Company or of another entity, the number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities the Holder hereof is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Warrant
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled
to receive upon exercise the number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities which he or she would have owned or would have been entitled to
receive after the happening of any of the events described above had this
Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event, and the
exercise price per share shall be correspondingly adjusted.


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

            6.1.2 EFFECTIVE DATE. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6
shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of the
stock dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification.

            6.1.3 ADDITIONAL SHARES. The Holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled to participate in any subscription or other rights offering made to
holders of the Company's Common Stock to the extent he or she would have been
entitled had this Warrant been exercised in the full number of shares as to
which this Warrant remains unexercised immediately prior to the record date for
such rights offering. If the Company is consolidated or merged with or into
another corporation or if all or substantially all of its assets are conveyed to
another corporation this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the
purchase of the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or
property, if any, receivable upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which could have
been purchased on the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate
adjustment (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors) shall be made in
the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights
and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the
provisions set forth herein (including provisions with respect to changes in and
other adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock the Holder of this
Warrant is entitled to purchase) shall thereafter by applicable, as nearly as
possible, in relation to any shares of Common Stock or other securities or other
property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

      6.2   CHANGES IN FORM OF WARRANT. This form of Warrant need not be changed
because of any change pursuant to this Section, and Warrants issued after such
change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares of Common
Stock and Warrants as are stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to
this Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Warrants
reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any
rights to a prior adjustment or the computation thereof.

      6.3   FRACTIONAL  INTERESTS.  The Company shall not be required to issue
certificates  representing fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise
of this Warrant.

7.    RESERVATION AND LISTING. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock
or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise
thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Warrants
and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock and other
securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder.
As long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all securities
exchanges (or, if applicable on Nasdaq) on which the Common Stock is then listed
and/or quoted.

8.    CERTAIN NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.

      8.1   HOLDER'S RIGHT TO RECEIVE NOTICE. Nothing herein shall be construed
as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or consent or to receive notice
as a stockholder for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having
any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time
prior to the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the events
described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the
Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen (15) days


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer
books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend,
distribution, conversion or exchange of securities or subscription rights, or
entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.
Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the
transfer books, as the case may be.

      8.2   EVENTS REQUIRING NOTICE. The Company shall be required to give the
notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the following events: (i)

Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution,

additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right
or warrant to subscribe therefor, (iii) a merger or reorganization in which the
Company is not the surviving party, or (iv) a dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or
merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets and
business shall be proposed.

      8.3   NOTICE OF CHANGE IN EXERCISE PRICE. Upon request of the Holder, the
Company shall, promptly after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price
pursuant to Section 6 hereof, send notice to the Holder of such event and change
("Price Notice"). The Price Notice shall describe the event causing the change
and the method of calculating same and shall be certified as being true and
accurate by the Company's President and Chief Financial Officer.

      8.4   TRANSMITTAL OF NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly made on the date of delivery if delivered personally or sent by

notice is to be given, by registered or certified mail, return receipt
