                        Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

Warrant No.: CCP-001                                Number of Shares: 650,000

Date of Issuance: September 15, 2005

Startech Environmental Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that, for Ten United States Dollars ($10.00) and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("Cornell"), the registered holder
hereof or its permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this Warrant, at any time
or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on
the Expiration Date (as defined herein) Six Hundred Fifty Thousand (650,000)
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of the
Company (the "Warrant Shares") at the exercise price per share provided in
Section 1(b) below or as subsequently adjusted; provided, however, that in no
event shall the holder be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of
Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving
effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise, except within
sixty (60) days of the Expiration Date. For purposes of the foregoing proviso,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder
and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such
proviso is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially
owned by the holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (including, without
limitation, any convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the

<PAGE>

limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-QSB or Form
10-KSB, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company
or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of any
holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business
Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm in writing to any such holder
the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to
the exercise of Warrants (as defined below) by such holder and its affiliates
since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported.

      Section 2. Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof then registered on
the books of the Company, pro rata as hereinafter provided, at any time on any
Business Day on or after the opening of business on such Business Day,
commencing with the first day after the date hereof, and prior to 11:59 P.M.
Eastern Time on the Expiration Date, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the
form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Exercise
Notice"), of such holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall
specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, (ii) payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price(s) applicable to the
Warrant Shares being purchased, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares (at
the applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the "Aggregate Exercise
Price") in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds and (iii) the
surrender of this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to
this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier
for overnight delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such
date. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in
compliance with this Section 2(a), the Company shall on the fifth (5th) Business
Day following the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise
Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this
Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and the receipt of the
representations of the holder specified in Section 6 hereof, if requested by the
Company (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), and if the Common Stock is DTC
eligible credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the
holder shall be entitled to the holder's or its designee's balance account with
The Depository Trust Company; provided, however, if the holder who submitted the
Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or all of the Warrant Shares,
or, if the Common Stock is not DTC eligible then the Company shall, on or before
the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of the Exercise Delivery
Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the
address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name
of the holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder
shall be entitled pursuant to such request. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice
and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii) above the holder of this
Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of
record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been
exercised. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant
Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or the arithmetic calculation of the
Warrant Shares, the Company shall

                                       4
<PAGE>

promptly issue to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed
and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the
holder via facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the holder's
Exercise Notice. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the
Warrant Shares within one (1) day of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately
submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise
Price or the Closing Bid Price to an independent, reputable investment banking
firm or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its
independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking
firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or
calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than
forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error.

              (a) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as
practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise
and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this
Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised.

              (b) No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro
rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued
upon such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest
whole number.

              (c) If the Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason
or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) days of receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to
which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder's balance account with The
Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the holder
is entitled upon the holder's exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, in
addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or the Placement Agent
Agreement or otherwise available to such holder, pay as additional damages in
cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such certificate for Warrant
Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.025% of the product of (A)
the sum of the number of Warrant Shares not issued to the holder on a timely
basis and to which the holder is entitled, and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the
Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date
which the Company could have issued such Common Stock to the holder without
violating this Section 2.

              (d) If within ten (10) days after the Company's receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the
holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then, in addition to any other available remedies
under this Warrant or the Placement Agent Agreement, or otherwise available to
such holder, the Company shall pay as additional damages in cash to such holder
on each day after such tenth (10th) day that such delivery of such new Warrant
is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.25% of the product of (A) the
number of Warrant Shares represented by the portion of this Warrant which is not
being exercised and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the
trading day immediately preceding the last possible date

                                       5
<PAGE>

which the Company could have issued such Warrant to the holder without violating
this Section 2.

      Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:

              (a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for
or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and
validly issued.

              (b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of
the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and payment in full
of the Warrant Exercise Price, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

              (c) During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common
Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this
Warrant and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal
to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price. If at any time the Company does not
have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available,
then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders
within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

              (d) If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall file a
registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to
the holder, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and shall maintain, so long as
any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant
Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the
Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated
quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any
other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such
national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

              (e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant. The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant
Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

              (f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the
Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets.

                                       6
<PAGE>

      Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any
applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and
delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

      Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of
capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in
this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock,
reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise),
receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or
otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant
Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this
Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as
imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon
exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company,
whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of
this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the
stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof
to the stockholders.

      Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the
acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant
Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant
or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for
any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this
Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a
registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of
this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date,
such holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule
501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act (an "Accredited Investor"). Upon exercise of this
Warrant the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a
form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being
acquired solely for the holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other
party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale and
that such holder is an Accredited Investor. If such holder cannot make such
representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a
condition to such holder's exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive
such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to
assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this
Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.

      Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.

              (a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to
the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall
record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been
issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee.

                                       7
<PAGE>

The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the
register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

      Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The
Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

              (a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of this
Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any
shares of Common Stock (other than (i) Excluded Securities and (ii) shares of
Common Stock which are issued or deemed to have been issued by the Company in
connection with an Approved Stock Plan or upon exercise or conversion of the
Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than a price (the
"Applicable Price") equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue or sale the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to
such consideration per share. Upon each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the
Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

              (b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For
purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a)
above, the following shall be applicable:

                  (i) Issuance of Options. If after the date hereof, the Company
in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon
conversion or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of
any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the
Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per
share. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or
upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be equal to the
sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by
the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or
sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon conversion or exchange
of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further
adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such Common Stock or of such convertible securities upon the exercise of such
Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such convertible securities.

                  (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any convertible securities and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange
thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been

                                       8
<PAGE>

issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such
convertible securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 8(b)(ii), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock
is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company
with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the
convertible security and upon conversion or exchange of such convertible
security. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon
the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
convertible securities, and if any such issue or sale of such convertible
securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the
Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions
of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall
be made by reason of such issue or sale.

                  (iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any convertible
securities, or the rate at which any convertible securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
convertible securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of
this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or convertible security that
was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this Warrant are changed in the
manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or
convertible security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the
date of such change. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be made
if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise Price
then in effect.

              (c) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For
purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections 8(a)
and 8(b), the following shall be applicable:

                  (i) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common
Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold or deemed to have
been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefore will be
deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefore. If any Common
Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold for a consideration
other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will
be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration
consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the market price of such securities on the date
of receipt of such securities. If any Common Stock, Options or convertible
securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of
consideration therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to
such Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, as the case may be. The
fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined
jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least
two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then


                                       9
<PAGE>

outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days
after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"),
the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent,
reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of Warrants
representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of such appraiser
shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and expenses of such
appraiser shall be borne jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants.

                  (ii) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in
connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to
have been issued for a consideration of $.01.

                  (iii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for
the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held
will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

                  (iv) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders
of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in convertible securities
or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or convertible
securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.

              (d) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and
the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.
Any adjustment under this Section 8(d) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

              (e) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make
any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its
assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise
(including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other
securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off,
reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a
"Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each
such case:

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  (i) any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders
of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective
as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by
multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator
shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one
share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price
of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date;
and

                  (ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the
fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event
that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation
system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to
purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the
assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to
the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise
price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to
the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).

              (f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated
by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant
Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants;
provided, except as set forth in section 8(d),that no such adjustment pursuant
to this Section 8(f) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to
this Section 8.

              (g) Notices.

                  (i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of
such adjustment.

                  (ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of
this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company
closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or
distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata
subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to
vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or
liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public
prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.

<PAGE>

                  (iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder
of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.

      Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

              (a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if
at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the
terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which
such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights.

              (b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a
way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or
upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an "Organic Change." Prior to
the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the
Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person
purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in
each case, the "Acquiring Entity") a written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (iii)
of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding)
to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security
of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the
Warrants (including an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for
the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale,
and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations
on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant
Exercise Price immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). Prior
to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make
appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of
Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the
Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in
addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore
issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrants (without
regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or
assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with
respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have been
issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant as of the
date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or
restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).
