                 -------------------

             (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in
whole or in part, at any time on any Business Day (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) on or after the opening of business on the date hereof and
prior to 11:59 P.M. Central Time on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a
written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A
                                                                   ---------
hereto (the "Exercise Notice"), of such holder's election to exercise this
             ---------------
Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased, (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the
"Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by check or wire transfer, and (iii) the
 ------------------------
surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable
following such date, this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with
respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction);
provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be issued in any name other than

transfer and the provisions of Section 7 shall be applicable.  In the event of
any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this

in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and registered in
the name of, or as directed by, the holder, shall be delivered at the Company's
expense to, or as directed by, such holder as soon as practicable, and in no
event later than two Business Days, after the Company's receipt of the Exercise
Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification
undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or
destruction).  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price
referred to in clause (ii) above, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for
all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date
of delivery of this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the
certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

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

          (c)  No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.

          (d)  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to
issue to the holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 2, a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is
entitled upon the holder's exercise of this Warrant or a new Warrant for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to
Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under
this Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to such
holder, including any indemnification under the Securities Purchase Agreement,
pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of
such Common Stock certificate or new Warrant, as the case may be, is not timely
effected an amount equal to .25% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which
the holder is entitled and/or, the number of shares represented by the portion
of this Warrant which is not being converted, as the case may be, and (B) the
average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the three consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company
could have issued such Common Stock or Warrant, as the case may be, to the
holder without violating this Section 2.

          (e)  Limitation on Beneficial Ownership.  The Company shall not effect
               ----------------------------------
any exercise of this Warrant and no holder of this Warrant shall have the right
to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 2 to the extent that after giving
effect to such exercise such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) (A)
would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common
Stock following such exercise and (B) would have acquired, through exercise of
this Warrant or otherwise, in excess of  4.9% of the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock following such exercise during the 60-day period ending on and
including such date of exercise.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its
affiliates or acquired by a Person and its affiliates, as the case may be, shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made,
but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised Warrant beneficially owned by
such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any warrants) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by such Person and its

                                       4
<PAGE>

affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this
Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A holder of
this Warrant may request the Company to waive the restrictions of this paragraph
by providing prior written notice to the Company and the Company shall waive
such restrictions of this paragraph and such waiver shall take effect on the
sixty-first (61st) calendar day following the Company's receipt of such written
notice from the holder to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, each Exercise Notice shall constitute a representation by the
holder submitting such Exercise Notice that, after giving effect to such
Exercise Notice, (A) the holder will not beneficially own (as determined in
accordance with this Section 2(e)) and (B) during the 60-day period ending on
and including such date of exercise, the holder will not have acquired, through
exercise of this Warrant or otherwise, a number of shares of Common Stock in
excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the
Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, or more recent
public press release or other public notice by the Company setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, but after giving effect to
exercise of this Warrant by such holder since the date as of which such number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

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

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

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

             (c) During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide
for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par
value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable
Warrant Exercise Price.

             (d) 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 (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

                                       5
<PAGE>

Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such
national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

             (e)   The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant 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.

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

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

     Section 6.    Representations of Holder.  The holder of this Warrant, by
                   -------------------------
the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of
this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of
the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right
to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with
or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities
Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that,
as of this date, such holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined
in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D

                                       6
<PAGE>

promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
(an "Accredited Investor").

     Section 7.    Ownership and Transfer.
                   ----------------------

             (a)   The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to
the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall
record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been
issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may
treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the
owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with
the terms of this Warrant.

             (b)   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 warrant power in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto;
provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7(c) below.

             (c)   The holder of this Warrant understands that this Warrant has
not been and is not expected to be, registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or
transferred unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) such holder
shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in generally
acceptable form, to the effect that the securities to be sold, assigned or
transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration; provided that (i) any sale of such securities made in
reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may be made only in
accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not
applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the
seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder; and (ii)
neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the
Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with
the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

             (d)   The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for
resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
dated March 2, 2001 by and between the Company and the Buyers listed on the
signature page thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement") and the initial
                             -----------------------------
holder of this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the
registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement.

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

             (a)   Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares
                   ---------------------------------------------------------
upon Issuance of Common Stock.  If and whenever on or after the date of
-----------------------------
issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with
Section 8(b) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
(including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or
for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued by the Company in connection with an Exempt Issuance or upon
exercise or conversion of the Other Securities) for a consideration per share
less than the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time
(the "Applicable Price"), then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant
      ----------------
Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product
of (x) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or
sale and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product
derived by multiplying the Applicable Price by the number of shares of Common
Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (II) the
consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale, by (2)
the product derived by multiplying the (I) Applicable Price by (II) the number
of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or
sale. Upon each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the
number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

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

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

                                       8
<PAGE>

such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 8(b)(i) to the extent that
such adjustment is based solely on the fact that the Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock at a price which varies with the market price of the Common Stock.

                   (ii)   Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company
                          ----------------------------------
in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion
or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the
Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for
such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the "lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such
conversion or exchange" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one
share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and
upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment
of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if
any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of
any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are
to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further
adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue
or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to
this Section 8(b)(ii) to the extent that such adjustment is based solely on the
fact that such Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock at a price which varies with the market price of the Common Stock.

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

                   (iv)   Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised
                          --------------------------------------------
Convertible Securities.  If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common
----------------------
Stock issuable upon the exercise of any Option or upon exercise, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Security is not, in fact, issued and the rights to
exercise such Option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible
Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Warrant Exercise Price then in
effect will be readjusted to the Warrant 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.

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

                   (i)    Calculation of Consideration Received.  In case any
                          -------------------------------------
Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the
Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have
been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
to be the amount received by the Company therefor before deduction of reasonable
commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other similar reasonable
expenses incurred by the Company. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of
such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such
consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which
case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market
price of such securities for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the date of receipt.  If any Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in
connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants
representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of the Warrants then outstanding.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
----------------
within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation
Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and
the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock
obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.  The determination of
such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

                                      10
<PAGE>

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

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

             (e)   Distribution of Assets.  If the Company shall declare or make
                   ----------------------
any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of
Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or
otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, property or
securities of a subsidiary) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance
                                ------------
of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

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

          (ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on
the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set
forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event that the
Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is traded on a
national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the
holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to purchase Common
Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to

                                      11
<PAGE>

those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the
amount of the assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant
pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by
which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the
Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).

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

          (g)  Notices.
               -------

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

               (ii)  The Company will give written notice to the holder of this
Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that
such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction
with such notice being provided to such holder.

               (iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of
this Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.

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

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

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

          (c) In the event the Company proposes to effect an Organic Change,
then in addition to any other rights the holder may have, the holder shall have
the right to effect a

                                      13
<PAGE>

Cashless Exercise (as defined below), 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" shall mean that, in lieu
                                     -----------------
of paying the Warrant Exercise Price in cash, the holder shall surrender this
Warrant for that number of Warrant Shares determined by subtracting from the
number of Warrant Shares otherwise issuable to the holder upon such exercise, an
amount of Warrant Shares (the "Surrendered Shares") having a closing bid price
                               ------------------
price (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date immediately preceding the date of
the exercise notice equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in Section
2) of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised; and
thereafter the Surrendered Shares shall no longer be available for issuance
hereunder.

     Section 10.  Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.  If this Warrant
                  --------------------------------------------
is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on receipt of an
indemnification undertaking, issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor
as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

     Section 11.  Notice.  Any notices, consents, waivers or other
                  ------
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant
