        in part at any time, or from time to time, until the Expiration Date or,
        if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding day that

        execute and deliver to the Company a Warrant Subscription Form forming a
        part hereof duly executed by the Holder and payment of the applicable
        Exercise Price for each Warrant Share subject to such exercise. Upon
        such delivery and payment, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder
        of record of the Warrant Shares subject to such exercise,

<PAGE>   4

        Price, shares of Class C Common Stock having the aggregate Fair Market
        Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares in
        respect of which the Exercise Price is not being paid in cash or (iii)
        to deliver as payment, in whole or in part of the aggregate Exercise
        Price, such number of Warrants which, if exercised, would result in a
        number of shares of Class C Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market
        Value equal to (x) the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares
        in respect of which the Exercise Price is not being paid in cash plus
        (y) the Exercise Price of the Warrants so delivered.

                (2) The Exercise Price may be paid in cash or by certified or
        official bank check or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the

        payable in respect of the issue or delivery of the Warrant Shares.

                (3) If the Holder exercises this Warrant in part, this Warrant
        Certificate shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Company and  a new
        Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and for the unexercised number of
        Warrant Shares shall be executed by the Company. The Company shall
        register the new Warrant Certificate in the name of the Holder or in
        such name or names of its transferee pursuant to paragraph (f) hereof as
        may be directed in writing by the Holder and deliver the new Warrant
        Certificate to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same.

                (4) Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate in conformity
        with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall transfer to the Holder
        of this Warrant Certificate (or its transferee) appropriate evidence of
        ownership of shares of Class C Common Stock or other securities or
        property (including any money) to which the Holder is entitled,
        registered or otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, the name
        or names of the Holder or such transferee as may be directed in writing
        by the Holder.

       (c) RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. Certificates representing shares of Class C

       (d) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant
such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Class C Common Stock or
other securities of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.
All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise,
shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all
liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on
sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except to the extent set forth
in the Investors' Agreement.

       (e) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant and in lieu
of delivery of any such fractional share upon any exercise hereof, the Company
shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Current Market Price per share of Class C Common Stock (as defined in
paragraph (h)(6)) at the date of such exercise.

        The Company further agrees that it will not change the par value of the
Class C Common Stock from $0.001 per share to any higher par value which exceeds
the Exercise Price then in effect, and will reduce the par value of the Class C
Common Stock upon any event described in paragraph (h) that would, but for this
provision, reduce the Exercise Price below the par value of the Common Stock.

       (f)   EXCHANGE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF WARRANT.

                (1) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares are subject to the
        provisions of (i) the Investors' Agreement, including the applicable
        restrictions on transfer, and (ii) the provisions of the Subscription
        Agreement which specifies in Section 1.04 that this Warrant will after a
        specified period, become detachable from and transferable separately
        from the shares of Senior Preferred Stock. Each holder of this Warrant
        Certificate by holding the same, consents and agrees that the registered
        holder hereof may be treated by the Company and all other persons
        dealing with this Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner hereof for
        any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights
        represented hereby.

                (2) Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions set
        forth in the Investors' Agreement and with applicable securities laws,
        upon



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

        surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the attached
        Warrant Assignment Form duly executed, the Company shall, without
        charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee or
        assignees named in such instrument of assignment and, if the Holder's
        entire interest is not being assigned, in the name of the Holder and
        this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.

       (g) LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and (in
the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory
indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant
Certificate, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor and date.

       (h) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the
number of Class C Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as
provided in this paragraph (h).

                (1) In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof
        (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on Class C Common Stock
        payable in shares of Class C Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or split the
        outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock, (iii) combine or reclassify
        the outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock into a smaller number of
        shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
        reclassification of shares of Class C Common Stock (including any such
        reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which
        the Company is a party), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the
        record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date
        of such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification shall be
        proportionately adjusted so that, giving effect to paragraph (h)(9), the
        exercise of this Warrant after such time shall entitle the holder to
        receive the aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock (or other
        securities into which such shares of Class C Common Stock have been
        reclassified pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) above) which, if this
        Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such time, such holder
        would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by
        virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, split, combination
        or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever
        any event listed above shall occur.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7
                (2) In case the Company shall issue or sell any shares of Class
        C Common Stock (other than shares of Class C Common Stock issued (I)
        upon exercise of the Warrants, (II) pursuant to any stock option,
        co-investment or other stock related employee compensation plan of the
        Company approved by the Company's Board of Directors, (III) upon
        exercise or conversion of any security the issuance of which caused an
        adjustment under paragraphs (h)(3) or (h)(4) hereof or (IV) in any bona
        fide registered public offering), the Exercise Price to be in effect
        after such issuance or sale shall be determined by multiplying the
        Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale by a
        fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of
        shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time
        of such issuance or sale multiplied by the Current Market Price per
        share of Class C Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance or sale
        and (y) the aggregate consideration, if any, to be received by the
        Company upon such issuance or sale, and the denominator of which shall
        be the product of the aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock
        outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale and the Current
        Market Price Per share of Class C Common Stock immediately prior to such
        issuance or sale but in no event will such fraction exceed 1. In case
        any portion of the consideration to be received by the Company shall be
        in a form other than cash, the fair market value of such noncash
        consideration shall be utilized in the foregoing computation. Such fair
        market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the
        Company.

                (3) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance
        of rights, options or warrants to the holders of its Class C Common
        Stock or other securities entitling such holders to subscribe for or
        purchase for a period expiring within 60 days of such record date shares
        of Class C Common Stock (or securities convertible into Class C Common
        Stock) at a price per share of Class C Common Stock (or having a
        conversion price per share of Class C Common Stock, if a security
        convertible into Class C Common Stock) less than the Current Market
        Price per share of Class C Common Stock on such record date, the maximum
        number of shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such
        rights, options or warrants (or conversion of such convertible
        securities) shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding as of
        such record date and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to
        paragraph (h)(2) hereof, as though such maximum number of shares of
        Class C Common Stock had been so issued for the aggregate consideration
        payable by the holders of such rights, options, warrants or convertible
        securities prior to their receipt of such



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

        shares of Class C Common Stock. In case any portion of such
        consideration shall be in a form other than cash, the fair market value
        of such noncash consideration shall be determined as set forth in
        paragraph (h)(2) hereof. Such adjustment shall be made successively
        whenever such record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights,
        options or warrants are not so issued or expire unexercised, or in the
        event of a change in the number of shares of Class C Common Stock to
        which the holders of such rights, options or warrants are entitled
        (other than pursuant to adjustment provisions therein which are no more
        favorable in their entirety than those contained in this paragraph (h)),
        the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price
        which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed, in
        the former event, or the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if
        such holder had initially been entitled to such changed number of shares
        of Class C Common Stock, in the latter event.

                (4) In case the Company shall sell or issue rights, options
        (other than options issued pursuant to a plan described in clause II of
        paragraph (h)(2)) or warrants entitling the holders thereof to subscribe
        for or purchase shares of Class C Common Stock (or securities
        convertible into shares of Class C Common Stock) or shall issue
        convertible securities and the price per share of Class C Common Stock
        of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities (including,
        in the case of rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, the
        price at which they may be exercised or converted) is less than the
        Current Market Price per share of Class C Common Stock, the maximum
        number of shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such
        rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of such convertible
        securities shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding as of the
        date of such sale or issuance, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
        pursuant to paragraph (h)(2) hereof as though such maximum number of
        shares of Class C Common Stock had been so issued for an aggregate
        consideration equal to the aggregate consideration paid for such rights,
        options, warrants or convertible securities and the aggregate
        consideration payable by the holders of such rights, options, warrants
        or convertible securities prior to their receipt of such shares of Class
        C Common Stock. In case any portion of such consideration shall be in a
        form other than cash, the fair market value of such noncash
        consideration shall be determined as set forth in paragraph (h)(2)
        hereof. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights,
        options, warrants or convertible securities are issued; and in the event
        that such rights, options or warrants expire unexercised, or in the
        event of a change in the number of shares of Class C Common Stock to
        which the holders of such rights, options, warrants or convertible



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

        securities are entitled (other than pursuant to adjustment provisions
        therein which are no more favorable in their entirety than those
        contained in this paragraph (h)), the Exercise Price shall again be
        adjusted to be the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such
        rights, options, warrants or convertible securities had not been issued,
        in the former event, or the Exercise Price which would then be in effect
        if such holders had initially been entitled to such changed number of
        shares of Class C Common Stock, in the latter event. No adjustment of
        the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to this paragraph (h)(4) to
        the extent that the Exercise Price shall have been adjusted pursuant to
        paragraph (h)(3) upon the setting of any record date relating to such
        rights, options, warrants or convertible securities and such adjustment
        fully reflects the number of shares of Class C Common Stock to which the
        holders of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are
        entitled and the price payable therefor.

                (5) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making
        of a distribution to holders of shares of Class C Common Stock
        (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation
        or merger in which the Company is a party) of evidences of indebtedness,
        cash, assets or other property (other than dividends payable in shares
        of Class C Common Stock or rights, options or warrants referred to in,
        and for which an adjustment is made pursuant to, paragraphs (h)(3) or
        (h)(4) hereof), the Exercise Price to be in effect after such record
        date shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
        immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of
        which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Class C Common
        Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (determined as set
        forth in paragraph (h)(2) hereof) of the portion of the assets, cash,
        other property or evidence of indebtedness so to be distributed which is
        applicable to one share of Class C Common Stock, and the denominator of
        which shall be such Current Market Price per share of Class C Common
        Stock. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a
        record date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is not so
        made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise
        Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been
        fixed.

                (6) For the purpose of any computation under paragraph (e) or
        paragraph (h)(2), (3), (4) or (5) hereof, on any determination date, the
        Current Market Price per share of Class C Common Stock shall be deemed
        to be the average (weighted by daily trading volume) of the Daily Prices
        (as defined below) per share of Class C Common Stock for the 20



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

        consecutive trading days ending three days prior to such date. "DAILY
        PRICE" means (1) if the shares of Class C Common Stock then are listed
        and traded on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE"), the closing
        price on such day as reported on the NYSE Composite Transactions Tape;
        (2) if the shares of Class C Common Stock then are not listed and traded
        on the NYSE, the closing price on such day as reported by the principal
        national securities exchange on which the shares are listed and traded;
        (3) if the shares of Class C Common Stock then are not listed and traded
        on any such securities exchange, the last reported sale price on such
        day on the National Market of the National Association of Securities
        Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"); (4) if the shares
        of Class C Common Stock then are not listed and traded on any such
        securities exchange and not traded on the NASDAQ National Market, the
        average of the highest reported bid and lowest reported asked price on
        such day as reported by NASDAQ; or (5) if such shares are not listed and
        traded on any such securities exchange, not traded on the NASDAQ
        National Market and bid and asked prices are not reported by NASDAQ,
        then the average of the closing bid and asked prices, as reported by The
        Wall Street Journal for the over-the-counter market. If on any
        determination date the shares of Class C Common Stock are not quoted by
        any such organization, the Current Market Price per shares of Class C
        Common Stock shall be the fair market value of such shares on such
        determination date as determined by the Board of Directors, without
        regard to considerations of the lack of liquidity, applicable regulatory
        restrictions or any of the transfer restrictions or other obligations
        imposed on such shares set forth in the Investors' Agreement. For
        purposes of any computation under this paragraph (h), the number of
        shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
        include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.

                (7) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless
        such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one
        percent in such price; provided that any adjustments which by reason of
        this paragraph (h)(7) are not required to be made shall be carried
        forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All
        calculations under this paragraph (h) shall be made to the nearest one
        hundredth of a cent or to the nearest hundredth of a share, as the case
        may be.

                (8) In the event that, at any time as a result of the provisions
        of this paragraph (h), the holder of this Warrant upon subsequent
        exercise shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock or
        other securities of the Company other than shares of Class C Common
        Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of
        this



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

        Warrant shall thereafter be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
        manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
        provisions contained herein.

                (9) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of
        the calculations made in paragraphs (h)(1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) hereof,
        the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
        prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the
        right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, that number of shares
        of Class C Common Stock obtained by (i) multiplying the number of shares
        covered by this Warrant immediately prior to this adjustment of the
        number of shares by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
        such adjustment of the Exercise Price and (ii) dividing the product so
        obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such
        adjustment of the Exercise Price.

                (10) The Company shall notify all Holders of (x) the fixing of a
        record date for the purpose of payment of a cash dividend to holders of
        shares of Class C Common Stock, and (y) the record date or effective
        date, as the case may be, of any action which requires or might require
        an adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this paragraph (h), in each
        case as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event less than 20
        days prior to any such record date or effective date.

                (11) Not less than 10 nor more than 30 days prior to the record
        date or effective date, as the case may be, of any action which requires
        or might require an adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this
        paragraph (h), the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its
        Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal executive office
        and with its stock transfer agent or its warrant agent, if any, an
        officers' certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as
        herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring
        such adjustment and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such
        officer's certificate shall be signed by the chairman, president or
        chief financial officer of the Company and by the secretary or any
        assistant secretary of the Company. Each such officers' certificate
        shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the
        Holder or any holder of a Warrant executed and delivered pursuant to
        paragraph (f) and the Company shall, forthwith after each such
        adjustment, mail a copy, by first-class mail, of such certificate to the
        Holder.

                (12) The Holder shall, at its option, be entitled to receive, in
        lieu of the adjustment pursuant to paragraph (h)(5) otherwise required
        thereof, on the date of exercise of the Warrants, the evidences of
        indebtedness,



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

        other securities, cash, property or other assets which such Holder would
        have been entitled to receive if it had exercised its Warrants for
        shares of Class C Common Stock immediately prior to the record date with
        respect to such distribution. The Holder may exercise its option under
        this paragraph (h)(12) by delivering to the Company a written notice of
        such exercise within seven days of its receipt of the certificate of
        adjustment required pursuant to paragraph (h)(11) to be delivered by the
        Company in connection with such distribution.

        (i) CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, OR SALE OF ASSETS. In case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other
Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which
does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of
outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock) or any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or of the Person formed by such
consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as
the case may be, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this
Warrant for the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the
number of shares of Class C Common Stock for which this Warrant may have been
exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer,
assuming (i) such holder of shares of Class C Common Stock is not a Person with
which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged
into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be
("CONSTITUENT PERSON"), or an Affiliate of a constituent Person and (ii) in the
case of a consolidation, merger, sale or transfer which includes an election as
to the consideration to be received by the holders, such holder of shares of
Class C Common Stock failed to exercise its rights of election, as to the kind
or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
sale or transfer is not the same for each share of Class C Common Stock held
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a Person
other than a constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which
such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("NON-ELECTING SHARE"),
then for the purpose of this paragraph (i) the kind and amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount
so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Adjustments
for events subsequent to the effective date of such a consolidation, merger and
sale of assets shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

in this Warrant. In any such event, effective provisions shall be made in the
certificate or articles of incorporation of the resulting or surviving
corporation, in any contract of sale, conveyance, lease or transfer, or
otherwise so that the provisions set forth herein for the protection of the
rights of the Holder shall thereafter continue to be applicable; and any such
resulting or surviving corporation shall expressly assume the obligation to
deliver, upon exercise, such shares of stock, other securities, cash and
property. The provisions of this paragraph (i) shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases or transfers.

        (j) NOTICES. Any notice, demand or delivery authorized by this Warrant
Certificate shall be in writing and shall be given to the Holder or the Company

case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No

exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
