     OF SUCH SHARES MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF

                                                               $0.01 per share

                             STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

     THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, ___________________________ or its
registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from Vital Living Products, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at any time or from time to time during
the period specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, ______________________ (_________)
fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise price per share equal to
the lesser of (i) $.229 (the "Fixed Exercise Price") and (ii) the average of
lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) during the ten (10) Trading
Days (as defined below) immediately prior to the exercise (the "Exercise
Price"). The term "Warrant Shares," as used herein, refers to the shares of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price
are subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof. The term "Warrants"
means this Warrant and the other warrants issued pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 23, 2001, by and among the Company
and the Buyers listed on the execution page thereof (the "Securities Purchase
Agreement"). "Trading Price" means, for any security as of any date, the
inter-day trading price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") as
reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting
service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority
in interest of the Warrants and the Company (the "Reporting Service") or, if the
OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the inter-day
trading price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading
market where such security is listed or traded as reported by the Reporting
Service or, if no inter-day trading price of such security is available in any
of the foregoing manners, the average of the inter-day trading prices of any


<PAGE>   2

market makers for such security that are listed in the "pink sheets" by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for
such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall
be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holders
of a majority in interest of the Warrants being exercised for which the
calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Exercise
Price of such Warrants. "Trading Day" shall mean any day on which the Common
Sock is traded for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities
exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being
traded.

     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, 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 resale of the Warrant
Shares by the holder is not then registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to
effect a "Cashless Exercise" (as defined in Section 11(c) below) for the Warrant
Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased
shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder's designee, 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 delivered, and payment shall have been made for such shares as
set forth above. 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, not exceeding three (3)
business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. 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. In addition to all other available remedies
at law or in equity, if the Company fails to deliver certificates for the
Warrant Shares within three (3) business days after this Warrant is exercised,
then the Company shall pay to the holder in cash a penalty (the "Penalty") equal
to 2% of the number of Warrant Shares that the holder is entitled to multiplied
by the Market Price for each day that the Company fails to deliver certificates
for the Warrant Shares. For example, if the holder is entitled to 100,000
Warrant Shares and the Market Price is $2.00, then the Company shall pay to the
Holder $4,000 for each day that the Company fails to deliver certificates for
the Warrant Shares. The Penalty shall be paid to the holder by the fifth day of
the month following the month in which it has accrued.



                                       2
<PAGE>   3

          Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event
shall the holder of this Warrant be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants
(or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof)
upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common
Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the
unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including the Debentures (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement)) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portions
thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made,
would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more
than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause
(i) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the limitation on exercise of this Warrant set forth herein
may not be amended without (i) the written consent of the holder hereof and the
Company and (ii) the approval of a majority of shareholders of the Company.

     2. PERIOD OF EXERCISE. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time
to time on or after the date on which this Warrant is issued and delivered
pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and before 5:00 p.m.,
New York City, New York time on the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of
issuance (the "Exercise Period").

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

        (A) 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, and charges with respect to the
issue thereof.

        (B) 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 of this Warrant.

        (C) LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then 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




                                       3
<PAGE>   4

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.

        (D) CERTAIN ACTIONS PROHIBITED. The Company will not, by amendment of
its charter 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i)
will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant above the 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.

        (E) 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 the Company's assets.

     4. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS. During the Exercise Period, the Fixed Exercise
Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as provided in this Paragraph 4.

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

        (A) ADJUSTMENT OF FIXED EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES UPON
ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 4(c) and
4(e) hereof, if and whenever on or after the date of issuance of this Warrant,
the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) hereof is
deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration
or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or
commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith)
less than the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of issuance (a
"Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Fixed
Exercise Price will be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Fixed
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a
fraction, (i) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the
number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior to the
Dilutive Issuance, plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration,
calculated as set forth in Paragraph 4(b) hereof, received by the Company upon
such Dilutive Issuance divided by the Market Price in effect immediately prior
to the Dilutive Issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number
of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately
after the Dilutive Issuance.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

        (B) EFFECT ON EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Paragraph 4(a) hereof, the
following will be applicable:

            (I) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS OR OPTIONS. If the Company in any manner
issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately
exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities")
(such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible
Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options") and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than
the Market Price on the date of issuance or grant of such Options, then the
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all
such Options will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Options, be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for
such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options" is
determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options,
plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable
to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or
exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become
convertible or exchangeable, by (B) the maximum total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion
of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Fixed
Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

            (II) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately
convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of
Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
conversion or exchange is less than the Market Price on the date of issuance,
then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date
of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and
to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the
purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock
is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the
total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for
the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company
upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities
first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Fixed Exercise Price will
be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

            (III) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE OR CONVERSION RATE. If there is a
change at any time in (A) the amount of additional consideration payable to the
Company upon the exercise of any Options; (B) the amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of
any Convertible Securities; or (C) the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by
reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Fixed Exercise
Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Fixed
Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold.

            (IV) TREATMENT OF EXPIRED OPTIONS AND UNEXERCISED CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to
convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or
terminated, the Fixed Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the
Fixed Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the
extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other
than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.

            (V) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount
received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions,
underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or
incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case
any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of
such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in
which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the
Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any acquisition,
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation 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 in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

            (VI) EXCEPTIONS TO ADJUSTMENT OF FIXED EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment
to the Fixed Exercise Price will be made (A) upon the exercise of any warrants,
options or convertible securities granted, issued and outstanding on the date of
issuance of this Warrant; (B) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options
which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit plan,
stock option plan or restricted stock plan of the



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance
of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the independent members of
the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a
committee of independent directors established for such purpose; or (C) upon the
exercise of the Warrants.

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

        (D) ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the Fixed
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 4, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
by multiplying a number equal to the Fixed Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Fixed Exercise Price.

        (E) 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,
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 or assets as may be 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 Paragraph 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. The Company will not effect any
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation
thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by
written instrument the obligations under this Paragraph 4 and the obligations to
deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to
acquire.

        (F) DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In case the Company shall declare or make
any distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock as a
partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then,
after the date of record for determining


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

stockholders entitled to such distribution, but prior to the date of
distribution, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this
Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject
hereto, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to
the holder had such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution.

        (G) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon the occurrence of any event which
requires any adjustment of the Fixed 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 Fixed 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. Such calculation
shall be certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

        (H) MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment of the Fixed
Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Fixed 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 Fixed
Exercise Price.

        (I) 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 Fixed Exercise Price of a share
of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.

        (J) OTHER NOTICES. In case at any time:

            (I) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock
payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution
(including dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings)
to the holders of the Common Stock;

            (II) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other
rights;

            (III) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into, or sale of all or substantially all its assets to, another
corporation or entity; or

            (IV) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant
(a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for determining


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution,
or subscription rights or for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled
to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a
reasonable approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place.
Such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights
or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice
shall be given at least 30 days prior to the record date or the date on which
the Company's books are closed in respect thereto. Failure to give any such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings
referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

        (K) CERTAIN EVENTS. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the
adjustment provisions of this Paragraph 4 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions, the Company will give notice of such event as provided in Paragraph
4(g) hereof, and the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate
adjustment in the Fixed 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.

        (L) CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

            (I) "COMMON STOCK DEEMED OUTSTANDING" shall mean the number of
shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common
Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) pursuant to Paragraph
4(b)(i) hereof, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of Options, as of the date of such issuance or grant of such
Options, if any, and (y) pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)(ii) hereof, the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible
Securities, if any.

            (II) "MARKET PRICE," as of any date, (i) means the average of the
last reported sale prices for the shares of Common Stock on the OTCBB for the
five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding such date as reported by the
Reporting Service, or (ii) if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for
the shares of Common Stock, the average of the last reported sale prices on the
principal trading market for the Common Stock during the same period as reported
by the Reporting Service, or (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of
such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the fair
market value as reasonably determined in good faith by (a) the Board of
Directors of the Corporation or, at the option of a majority-in-interest of the
holders of the outstanding Warrants by (b) an independent investment bank of
nationally recognized standing in the valuation of businesses similar to the
business of the corporation. The manner of determining the Market Price of the
Common Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to
any other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must
be made hereunder.

<PAGE>   10

            (III) "COMMON STOCK," for purposes of this Paragraph 4, includes the
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and any additional class of stock of
the Company having no preference as to dividends or distributions on
liquidation, provided that the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall
include only shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, in respect of
which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares resulting from any subdivision or
combination of such Common Stock, or in the case of any reorganization,

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, EXCHANGE, AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT.

        (A) 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 Paragraph 7(e)
below, provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to
the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7(f) hereof and to the applicable
provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. 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
Paragraph 8 are assignable only in accordance with the provisions of that
certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February __, 2001, by and
among the Company and the other signatories thereto (the "Registration Rights
Agreement").

        (B) WARRANT EXCHANGEABLE FOR DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS. This Warrant is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the office or
agency of the Company referred to in Paragraph 7(e) below, for new Warrants of
like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of
shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new
Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be
designated by the holder hereof at the time of such surrender.

        (C) 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.

        (D) CANCELLATION; PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Upon the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in
this Paragraph 7, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The
Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities transfer taxes) and all other
expenses (other than legal expenses, if any, incurred by the holder or
transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution,
and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Paragraph 7.

        (E) REGISTER. 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 and each prior
owner of this Warrant.

        (F) 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 of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and under applicable state securities or
blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i) that the holder or transferee of this
Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of
counsel, which opinion and counsel are acceptable to the Company, to the effect
that such exercise, transfer, or exchange may be made without registration under
said 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 substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities
Act; provided that no such opinion, letter or status as an "accredited investor"
shall be required in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. The first holder of this Warrant, by taking and holding the
same, represents to the Company that such holder is acquiring this Warrant for
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof.

assignees thereof) is entitled to the benefit of such registration rights in
respect of the Warrant Shares as are set forth in Section 2 of the Registration

certified mail or with a recognized overnight mail courier upon deposit with the
United States Post Office or such overnight mail courier, if postage is prepaid
and the mailing is properly addressed, as the case may be.

     11. MISCELLANEOUS.

         (A) AMENDMENTS. This Warrant and any provision hereof may only be
amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holder hereof.

         (B) DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several
paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for purposes of reference only, and
shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

         (C) CASHLESS EXERCISE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Warrant, if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is
not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, this Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender of
this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written
notice of the holder's intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a
calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the
event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the
holder shall surrender this Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock
determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it would
otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
difference between the then current Market Price per share of the Common Stock
and the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the then current
Market Price per share of Common Stock. For example, if the holder is exercising
100,000 Warrants with a per Warrant exercise price of $0.75 per share through a
cashless exercise when the Common Stock's current Market Price per share is
$2.00 per share, then upon such Cashless Exercise the holder will receive 62,500
shares of Common Stock.

        (D) REMEDIES. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holder, by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Warrant will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Warrant, that the
holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or
in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction
or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Warrant and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
