         This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and
conditions:

         1.    MANNER OF EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
Subject to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the limitations
contained in Section 7 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a
completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the "Exercise
Agreement"), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at
the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon (i)
payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire
transfer for the account of the Company, of the Exercise Price for the Warrant
Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the holder is permitted to
effect a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 10.3 hereof) pursuant to
Section 10.3 hereof, delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election
to effect a Cashless Exercise for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise
Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the
holder hereof, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business
on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed
Exercise Agreement shall have been deliv ered, and payment shall have been made
for such shares as set forth above or, if such date is not a business date, on
the next succeeding business date. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so
purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise
Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time (but
in no event later than fifteen business days) after this Warrant shall have been
so exercised (the "DELIVERY PERIOD"). The certificates so delivered shall be in
such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be
registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated
by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then,
unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time
of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant
representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not
then have been exercised.

         2.    PERIOD OF EXERCISE.

               2.1 This Warrant is exercisable, at any time or from time to time
on or after the date of initial issuance of this Warrant (the "ISSUE DATE") and
before 5:00 p.m., New York City time on, March 20, 2005 (the "EXERCISE PERIOD").

         3.    CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby covenants
and agrees as follows:

               3.1 SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID. All Warrant Shares will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully
paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances.

               3.2 RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the Exercise Period, the
Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the exercise in full of this Warrant.

               3.3 LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed or become listed (subject to official notice of
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other
shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common
Stock 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.

               3.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 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.

         4.    ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder and for which this Warrant is then exercisable
pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
provided in this Section 4.

               In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as
required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be
rounded up or down to the nearest cent.

               4.1 SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company,
at any time after the Issue Date, subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of
record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at
any time after the Issue Date, combines (by reverse stock split,
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for
effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such combination will be proportionately increased.

               4.2 ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and for which this
Warrant is or may become exercisable shall be adjusted by multiplying a number
equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable or for which this Warrant is or
may become exercisable (as applicable) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted
Exercise Price.

               4.3 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE. In case of any consolidation
of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in
case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the
Company at any time during the Exercise Period, then as a condition of such
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made
whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right to acquire and receive
upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock,
securities, cash or assets as were issued or payable with respect to or in
exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore
acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation,
merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will
make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 4
hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any
shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

               4.4 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon the occurrence of any event which
requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice
shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase
or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon
exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based.

               4.5 MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price
in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any
such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such
Exercise Price.

<PAGE>


               4.6 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock
are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a
cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be
issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share
of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.

               4.7 CERTAIN EVENTS. If, at any time after the Issue Date, any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment provisions of this
Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will
give notice of such event as provided in Section 4.4 hereof, and the Company's
Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and
the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so
that the rights of the holder shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such
event.

         5.    ISSUE TAX. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this
Warrant or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof,
provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than the holder of this Warrant.

         6.    NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS A SHAREHOLDER. This Warrant shall not
entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder
of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative
action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.

         7.    TRANSFER AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT.

               7.1 RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. This Warrant and the rights granted
to the holder hereof are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of
this Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the form attached
hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 9 below,
provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7.4 hereof. Until due presentment for
registration of transfer on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the
registered holder hereof as the owner and holder hereof for all purposes, and
the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the registration rights described in
Section 8 hereof are not assignable.

               7.2 REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

               7.3 CANCELLATION; PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Upon the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer or replacement as provided in this
Section 7, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company.

               7.4 EXERCISE OR TRANSFER WITHOUT REGISTRATION. If, at the time of
the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or
exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such

or exchange may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee
execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and sub stance
acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an "accredited

Securities Act.

terms of this Warrant shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return
receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier or by confirmed
