pursuant to Section 2.2(e) (the "Exercise Period"), Holder may exercise this
Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the Warrant Stock.

      2.2. Exercise Notice; Delivery of Certificates.

      (a) In order to exercise this Warrant, Holder shall deliver (which such
delivery may, at Holder's option, be by facsimile) to Company at its principal
office designated by Company in Section 14.2, a duly executed written notice of
Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, specifying the number of shares of
Warrant Stock to be purchased, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Subscription Notice").

      (b) Upon receipt of a Subscription Notice, Company shall, as promptly as
practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, subject to receipt
of any necessary regulatory approvals (including expiration of any applicable
waiting period), thereafter, deliver to Holder a duly executed certificate or

                                     - 5 -

<PAGE>

      (c) In addition, as soon as practicable after the delivery of a
Subscription Notice, but subject to the receipt of any necessary regulatory
approvals (including expiration of any applicable waiting period), Holder shall
deliver in person, by certified mail or courier, to Company at the
aforementioned address, (i) if Holder has elected pursuant to the applicable
Subscription Notice to make payment of the Warrant Price pursuant to Section
2.3(a), such payment and (ii) this Warrant.

      (d) Upon the date required for issuance of the applicable shares of
Warrant Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and receipt of any payment required
pursuant to Section 2.2(c), Holder or any other Person so designated in the
applicable Subscription Notice shall be deemed to have become a holder of record
of the applicable Warrant Stock for all purposes. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised in part, Company shall deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of Holder to purchase the remaining shares of Warrant Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be
identical with this Warrant, or appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant
and the same returned to Holder.

      (e) If in connection with the exercise of a Warrant or acquisition of
Warrant Stock by Holder, any regulatory approval shall be required, including
expiration of any applicable waiting period, then, if the Warrant is exercised
prior to such approval, the Expiration Date shall be extended while any such
regulatory approval or waiting period is pending. Without limiting the
foregoing, Company hereby acknowledges that the exercise of this Warrant by
Holder may subject Company and/or Holder to the filing requirements of the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR
Act"). If on or before the expiration Date, Holder has sent the Subscription
Notice to Company and Holder has not been able to complete the exercise of this
Warrant prior to the Expiration Date because of restrictions under the HSR Act,
Holder shall be entitled to complete the process of exercising this Warrant in
accordance with the procedures contained herein notwithstanding the fact that
completion of the exercise of this Warrant would take place after the Expiration
Date.

      2.3. Payment of Warrant Price: Net Issue Exercise

      (a) Payment of the Warrant Price shall be made at the option of Holder by
(i) cash, by check or by wire transfer or (ii) cancellation by Holder of
indebtedness of Company to Holder; or (iii) any combination thereof.

      (b) In lieu of the payment methods set forth in Section 2.3(a) above,
Holder may elect to exchange all or part of the Warrant for shares of Warrant
Stock equal to the value of the amount of the Warrant being exchanged on the
date of exchange. All references in this Warrant to an "exercise" of the Warrant
shall include a net issue exercise pursuant to this Section 2.3(b). If Holder
elects to exchange all or part of the Warrant as provided in this Section
2.3(b), Holder shall tender to Company the Warrant for the amount being
exchanged, along with a Subscription Notice indicating Holder's election to
exchange all or part of the Warrant, and Company shall issue to Holder the
number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:

                                     - 6 -

<PAGE>

      X = Y(A-B)
          ------
            A

      Where

      X = number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to Holder upon
exercise;

      Y= total number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under the Warrant
(or, if only a portion, the amount of Warrant Stock for which the Warrant is
being exchanged);

      A = Current Market Price of one share of Warrant Stock; and

      B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

      2.4. Payment of Taxes. Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other
governmental charges with respect to the issue or delivery of the Warrant Stock.
Company shall not be required, however, to pay any transfer tax imposed in
connection with the issue of any certificate for shares of Warrant Stock in any
name other than that of Holder.

      2.5. Fractional Shares. Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Warrant Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which Holder of one or more Warrants would otherwise be
entitled to purchase upon such exercise, Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fractional share in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
Current Market Price per share of Warrant Stock on the date of exercise.

III. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION

      3.1. Transfer. Subject to compliance with Article IX of this Warrant,
Company shall register any Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in
whole or in part, on the books of Company to be maintained for such purpose,
upon surrender by Holder of this Warrant at the principal office of Company
referred to in Section 14.2, together with a duly executed written assignment of
this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and funds sufficient
to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such Transfer. Promptly
following such surrender and, if required, such payment, Company shall at its
expense, subject to Article IX, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant
evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall
promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with
Article IX, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock without having a new Warrant issued.

      3.2. Division and Combination. Subject to Article IX, this Warrant may be
divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the
aforesaid office or agency of Company, together with a duly executed written
notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1

                                     - 7 -

<PAGE>

and with Article IX as to any Transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice.

      3.3. Maintenance of Books. Company agrees to maintain, at its office
referred to in Section 14.2, books for the registration of Transfer of the
Warrants.

IV. ADJUSTMENTS

      The number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable, and the Exercise Price at which such shares may be purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth in this Article IV.

      4.1. Adjustments Upon Mandatory Conversion of Series D Preferred Stock.
Upon any mandatory conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, this Warrant shall cease to be
exercisable for shares of Series D Preferred Stock and shall become exercisable
for that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series D
Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder would have been convertible immediately
prior to such mandatory conversion, and such that payment of the Exercise Price,
or any multiple thereof, shall entitle the Warrant Holder to receive the number
of shares of Common Stock as would have been issued upon conversion of each
share of Series D Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to
such mandatory conversion.

      4.2. Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at
any time Company shall:

      (a) take a record of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, Series D Preferred Stock,

      (b) subdivide or split its Outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock
into a larger number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, or

      (c) combine or reclassify its Outstanding shares of Series D Preferred
Stock into a smaller number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock;

then, in each of cases (a), (b) and (c) above, (i) the number of shares of
Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the
occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of
Warrant Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Warrant
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier, would own or be
entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Exercise
Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number
of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Warrant Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

                                     - 8 -

<PAGE>

Upon any mandatory conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock as provided in
Section 4.1, each reference to Series D Preferred Stock in this Section 4.2
shall be deemed to be Common Stock.

      4.3. Certain Other Distributions and Adjustments. If at any time Company
shall take a record of the holders of its Series D Preferred Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or shall
in any manner declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution
(including, without limitation, any distribution of stock or other securities,
debt or property or rights or warrants to subscribe for securities of Company or
any of its Subsidiaries by way of dividend or spin-off or any other assets) on
its Series D Preferred Stock, other than dividends or distributions of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock which are referred to in Section 4.2, then and in each
such case, (a) the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Warrant
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such
event, and (b) the Exercise Price to be in effect after such record date shall
be determined by multiplying (1) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such record date by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date less the fair
market value (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board) of such
dividend or distribution per share of Series D Preferred Stock and the
denominator of which shall be such the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such record date.

      4.4. Antidilution. It is understood and agreed that in the event of an
antidilution adjustment affecting any Warrant Shares after the date hereof, the
Holder will be entitled to the benefits of such adjustment upon exercise of this
Warrant.

      4.5. Organic Change. In case of any Organic Change, Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of the
Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to consummation of such Organic
Change, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, cash and
property receivable (including cash, and including any right to select the
consideration so receivable) upon the consummation of such Organic Change by a
holder of that number of shares of Warrant Stock into which the Warrant was
exercisable immediately prior to such Organic Change (including, on a pro rata
basis, the cash, securities or property received by holders of Series D
Preferred Stock in any tender or exchange offer that is a step in such Organic
Change), assuming such holder of Series D Preferred Stock is not a Person with
which Company consolidated or into which Company merged or which merged into
Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be, or an
affiliate of such a Person. In case securities or property other than Series D
Preferred Stock shall be issuable or deliverable upon conversion as aforesaid,
then all references in this Article IV shall be deemed to apply, so far as
appropriate and nearly as may be, to such other securities or property. In case
of any Organic Change, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than
Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance
of each covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by
Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such
modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined

                                     - 9 -

<PAGE>

by resolution of the Board) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of
Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article IV.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5 shall similarly apply to successive
Organic Changes.

      4.6. Qualified Initial Public Offering. Upon the completion of any
Qualified Initial Public Offering, the provisions of this Section IV shall be
extinguished and of no further force or effect.

V. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS

      5.1. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever an adjustment to this Warrant is made
pursuant to Article IV, Company shall promptly deliver to Holder (by facsimile
and by either first class mail, postage prepaid or overnight delivery) a
certificate from the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated,

business hours by any Holder or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant
designated by a Holder thereof. Any adjustment to this Warrant pursuant to
Article IV shall be automatic and shall occur without any action on the part of
Company or Holder, and any failure by Company to comply with the terms of this
Section 5.1 (including any error made by Company in the calculations described
above) shall have no effect on such automatic adjustment. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 5.1, Holder shall retain the right to contest
the adjustment calculations provided by Company described above, and such
calculations shall not be entitled to any presumption of accuracy in any case,
action or other proceeding to determine the actual amount of adjustment required
by Article IV.

      5.2. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time

      (a) Company shall take a record of the holders of its Series D Preferred
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right; or

      (b) there shall be approved by the Board any capital reorganization of
Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of

other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business
of Company to, another corporation, including without limitation any such event
constituting an Organic Change; or

may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company will take
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that Company may
upon the exercise of this Warrant validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Series D Preferred Stock that are not subject to
preemptive rights, including taking such action as is necessary for the Exercise
Price to be not less than the par value of the shares of Series D Preferred
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Company will obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction thereof, or any other Person, as may be necessary to enable Company
to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Without limiting the foregoing,
Company will make any filings under the HSR Act required in order to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.

      From and after the date of this Warrant, Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of this Warrant such
number of its authorized but unissued shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof, and the Common Stock issuable
hereunder, as the case may be, as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in
full of this Warrant. All shares of Warrant Stock which shall be so issuable,
when issued upon exercise of this Warrant and payment therefor in accordance
with the

                                     - 11 -

VIII. TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER OF BOOKS

      In the case of all dividends or other distributions by Company to the
holders of its Series D Preferred Stock with respect to which any provision of
Article IV refers to the taking of a record of such holders, Company will take
such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. Company will not at
any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Company, close
its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to prevent or delay the
exercise or transfer of this Warrant.

IX. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY

if any, evidencing such shares of restricted Warrant Stock issued upon such
Transfer shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 9.1(a), and each

      9.3. Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions and requirements
imposed by this Article IX shall terminate as to any particular Warrant or share

received an opinion of counsel (which may be Holder's inside corporate counsel)
that such security may be transferred without registration thereof under the
Securities Act or (c) a sale of such security is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144.
Whenever the restrictions imposed by Article IX shall terminate as to this
Warrant, as hereinabove provided, Holder shall be entitled to receive from
Company, at the expense of Company, a new Warrant without the restrictive legend
set forth in Section 9.1(b). Whenever the restrictions imposed by this Article

Warrant Stock in supplying such information as may be reasonably requested with
respect to the Company and its businesses and operations (including reasonable
access to management and operational personnel): (i) in connection with such
Holder evaluating if, and to what extent, it shall exercise the Warrant, and

execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to such Holder;
provided, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this
Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to Company for cancellation.

Warrant and the issuance to Holder of Warrant Shares. Without limiting the
foregoing, no provision hereof and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for
