                ---------------
part, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant at any time and from time
to time after the Date of Issuance hereof and prior to the tenth anniversary
thereof (the "Exercise Period").  The Company shall give the Registered Holder
              ---------------
written notice of the expiration of the Exercise Period at least 30 days but not
more than 90 days prior to the end of the Exercise Period.

          1B.   Exercise Procedure.
                ------------------

          (i)   This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when the
Company has received all of the following items (the "Exercise Time"):
                                                      -------------

                (a) a completed Exercise Agreement, as described in Section 1C
     below, executed by the Person exercising all or any portion of the purchase
     rights represented by this Warrant (the "Purchaser");
                                              ---------

                (b) this Warrant; and

                (c) if this Warrant is not registered in the name of the
     Purchaser, an Assignment or Assignments in the form set forth in Exhibit II
                                                                      ----------
     hereto evidencing the assignment of this Warrant to the Purchaser, in which
     case the Registered Holder shall have complied with the provisions set
     forth in Section 7 hereof.

          (ii)  Certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares purchased upon
exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant shall be delivered by the Company
to the Purchaser within five business days after date of the Exercise Time.
Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby
have been exercised, the Company shall prepare a new Warrant, substantially
identical hereto, representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant
which have not expired or been exercised and shall, within such five-day period,
deliver such new Warrant to the Person designated for delivery in the Exercise
Agreement.

          (iii) The Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser at the Exercise Time, and
the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder
of such Warrant Shares at the Exercise Time.

          (iv)  The issuance of certificates evidencing Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder
or the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred
by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of
Warrant Shares.  Each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens and charges with respect
to the issuance thereof.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          (v)    The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of
this Warrant or of any Warrant Share issued or issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this
Warrant. The Company shall from time to time take all such action as may be
necessary to assure that the par value per share of the unissued Warrant Shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant is at all times equal to or less than
the Exercise Price then in effect.

          (vi)   The Company shall assist and cooperate with any Registered
Holder or Purchaser required to make any governmental filings or obtain any
governmental approvals prior to or in connection with any exercise of this
Warrant (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made
by the Company).

          (vii)  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of
any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a registered public
offering or the sale of the Company (whether by merger, sale of stock or
otherwise), the exercise of any portion of this Warrant may, at the election of
the holder hereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of the public offering
or the sale of the Company in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be
effective until the consummation of such transaction.

          (viii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized capital stock the number of shares of its Preferred Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant solely for the purpose of issuance
upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall take all such actions as
may be necessary to assure that all such Warrant Shares may be so issued without
violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements
of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Warrant Shares may be listed
(except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by
the Company upon each such issuance). The Company shall not take any action
which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of its Preferred
Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved
hereunder for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant.

          1C.  Exercise Agreement.   Upon any exercise of this Warrant, a
               ------------------
completed Exercise Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached
                                                          ---------
hereto, executed by the Person exercising all or any portion of the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant, shall be delivered to the Company; provided
                                                                       --------
that, if the Warrant Shares are to be issued to a Person other than the Person
whose name this Warrant is registered, the Exercise Agreement shall also state
the name of the Person to whom the certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares
are to be issued; provided further, if the number of Warrant Shares to be issued
                  -------- -------
does not include all the Warrant Shares obtainable hereunder, the Exercise
Agreement shall also state the name of the Person to whom a new Warrant for the
unexercised portion of the rights hereunder is to be delivered.  Such Exercise
Agreement shall be dated the actual date of execution thereof.

          Section 2.  Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.  In
                      -------------------------------------------------
order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise
Price and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall each be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 2.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          2A.  Subdivision or Combination of Stock.  If the Company at any time
               -----------------------------------
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise)
its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, then the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the
number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time combines (by reverse
stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, then the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.

          2B.  Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
               ---------------------------------------------------------------
Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other transaction,
which in each case is effected in such a way that the holders of its outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon
subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for such Preferred Stock, is referred to herein as an "Organic Change."
                                                                --------------
Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company shall make
appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Registered
Holder of this Warrant) to insure that the Registered Holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter have the right to obtain and receive, in lieu of or in addition
to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore obtainable
and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock,
securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange
for the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such Organic Change not taken
place.  In any such case, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form
and substance satisfactory to the Registered Holder of this Warrant) with
respect to the Registered Holder's rights and interests to insure that the
provisions of this Section 2 and Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall thereafter be
applicable to this Warrant (including, without limitation, in the case of any
such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing
entity is other than the Company and in which the value of the Warrant Shares as
reflected by the terms of such transaction is less than the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such transaction, an immediate adjustment of the
Exercise Price and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares obtainable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant).  The Company
shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the
consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting
from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by
written instrument (in form and substance satisfactory to the Registered Holder
of this Warrant), the obligation to deliver to the Registered Holder such shares
of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such holder may be entitled to acquire.

          2C.  Certain Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
               --------------
the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions, then the Company's board of directors shall make an appropriate
adjustment in the Exercise Price and an appropriate adjustment in the number of
Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the
rights of the holders of this Warrant; provided that no such adjustment shall
                                       --------
increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares obtainable
as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

Company shall give written notice thereof to the Registered Holder, setting

Preferred Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders
of the Preferred Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any
Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation.  The Company shall also give written
notice to the Registered Holder at least 20 days prior to the date on which any
Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place.

          Section 3.  Liquidating Dividends.  If the Company declares or pays a
                      ---------------------
dividend upon the Preferred Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of earnings
or earned surplus (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied) except for a stock dividend payable in shares
of Preferred Stock (a "Liquidating Dividend"), then the Company shall pay to the
                       --------------------
Registered Holder of this Warrant at the time of payment thereof the Liquidating
Dividend which would have been paid to the Registered Holder on the Warrant
Shares had this Warrant been fully exercised immediately prior to the date on
which the record was taken for such Liquidating Dividend or, if no record was
taken, the date as of which the record holders of Preferred Stock entitled to
such dividends are to be determined.

          Section 4.  Purchase Rights.  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 its
shares of Preferred Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Registered Holder of
                                ---------------
this Warrant shall 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 Warrant Shares obtainable upon
complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which the
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 its shares
of Preferred Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such
Purchase Rights.
