     "Securities Purchase Agreement" shall mean the Securities Purchase
Agreement between the holder hereof (or its predecessor in interest) and the
Company for the purchase of this Warrant and the other Securities (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement).

     "Transfer" shall include any disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant
Shares, or of any interest in either thereof which would constitute a sale

applicable state securities laws.

     "Warrant" shall mean this Warrant and all Warrants issued in exchange,

     "Warrant Exercise Price" shall be U.S. $1.00 per share.

     (ii)  When used in this Warrant, unless the otherwise specified in a

of this Warrant, and the words "Section," "Schedule," and "Exhibit" shall refer
to Sections of, and Schedules and Exhibits to, this Warrant unless otherwise

     Section 2.  Exercise of Warrant.

     (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised by the Holder, as a whole or in part, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m.
Denver, Colorado Time on the Expiration Date.  The rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, as a whole or from time to time in part
(except that this Warrant shall not be exercisable as to a fractional share) by
(i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the exercise form attached as
Exhibit I hereto (an "Exercise Form"), of the Holder's election to exercise this
Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased, (ii) payment to the Company 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable
issue or transfer taxes) in immediately available funds (either by wire transfer
or a certified or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank), for the number
of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant shall have been exercised, and (iii)
the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, at the principal office of the
Company (or at such other agency or office of the Company as the Company may
designate by notice to the Holder).

     In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender of this
Warrant to the Company in a cashless exercise, including a written calculation
of the number of Warrant Shares 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, the Holder shall surrender this
Warrant for, and the Company shall issue in respect thereof, the number of
Warrant Shares determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which
the Holder 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.

     The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder
or Holder's designees, as the record owner of such Warrant Shares, as of the
date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise
Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment (or notice of an election to
effect a Cashless Exercise) shall have been made for such Warrant Shares as set
forth above.

     In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in
compliance with this Section 2(a), a certificate or certificates for the Warrant
Shares so purchased, registered in the name of, or as directed by, the Holder,
shall be delivered to, or as directed by, the Holder within three (3) business
days after such rights shall have been so exercised.

     (b)  Unless this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully
exercised, the Company shall issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to
the Warrant exercised except (i) it shall represent rights to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under
the Warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which
such Warrant is exercised, and (ii) the holder thereof shall be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to the
close of business on the date on which the Warrant is surrendered and payment of
the amount due in respect of such exercise and any applicable taxes is made,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such share certificate, except that, if
the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books
of the Company are properly closed, such person shall be deemed to have become
the holder of such Warrant Shares at the opening of business on the next
succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

     (c)  In the case of any dispute with respect to an exercise, the Company
shall promptly issue such number of Warrant Shares as are not disputed in
accordance with this Section. If such dispute only involves the number of
Warrant Shares receivable by the Holder under a Cashless Exercise, the Company
shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent accounting firm of
national standing via facsimile within two (2) business days of receipt of the
Exercise Form. 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
The accountant shall audit the calculations and notify the Company and the
Holder of the results no later than two (2) business days from the date it
receives the disputed calculations. The accountant's calculation shall be deemed
conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall then issue the appropriate
number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section.

     Section 3.  Covenants as to Common Stock.  The Company covenants and agrees
that 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.  The Company further covenants and agrees that during the
period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights then
represented by this Warrant and that the par value of said shares will at all
times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price.

     Section 4.  Taxes.  The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or
taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares or any
permitted transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for
Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder hereof or upon
any permitted transfer of this Warrant.

     Section 5.  Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder.  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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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.  No Limitation on Corporate Action.  No provisions of this
Warrant and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way
limit, affect or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its corporate
rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Certificate of Incorporation,
reorganize, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, or to
transfer all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise of any other
of its corporate rights and powers.

     Section 7.  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 and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, any distribution hereof or of any of the shares of Common Stock
or other securities issuable upon the exercise thereof, and not with any present
intention of distributing any of the same.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the
holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form
satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being
acquired solely for the holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other
party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale. If
such holder cannot make such representations because they would be

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder's exercise of the
Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company
considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its
securities upon exercise of the Warrant shall not violate any United States or
state securities laws.

     Section 8.  Transfer; Opinions of Counsel; Restrictive Legends.

     (a)  The holder of this Warrant understands that (i) this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws (other than as described in the Securities
Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement), and may not be
offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (a) subsequently
registered thereunder, or (b) pursuant to an exemption from such registration;
(ii) 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 (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register such securities (other than as described in the
Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement) under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and
conditions of any exemption thereunder.

     Section 9.  Adjustments.

     (a)  Reclassification and Reorganization.  In case of any reclassification,
capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of the Common
Stock, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification,
capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock),
the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall
have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and
number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash)
receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change,
consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that
could have been purchased upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or
merger. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments that shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Section 9. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, capital reorganizations and other changes of outstanding
shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations or mergers. If the
consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the
value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company acting in
good faith.

     (b)  Dividends and Stock Splits.  If and whenever the Company shall effect
a stock dividend, a stock split, a stock combination, or a reverse stock split
of the Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder and the
Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted in the manner
determined by the Company's Board of Directors acting 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
in good faith. The number of shares, as so adjusted, shall be rounded down to
the nearest whole number and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be rounded to the
nearest cent.

     Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.  If this Warrant
is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, on receipt of an
indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company, issue a new
Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen or
destroyed. In the event the holder hereof asserts such loss, theft or
destruction of this Warrant, the Company may require such holder to post a bond
issued by a surety reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the
issuance of such new Warrant.

     Section 11. Notice.  Any notices required or permitted to be given under
the terms of this Warrant shall be sent by mail or delivered personally or by
courier and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if
mailed, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or upon receipt, if
delivered personally or by courier or by facsimile, in each case properly
addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses for such
communications shall be:

signed by the party or holder hereof against which enforcement of such change,
waiver, discharge or termination is sought.  The headings in this Warrant are
for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof.  This Warrant shall be governed by and interpreted under the

securities laws. The Holder shall immediately notify the Company with respect to
any permitted assignment of this Warrant.

Warrant, in all events, shall be wholly void and of no effect after the close of
