(b) a  certified  or  cashier's  check  payable  to  the  Company,  or  canceled

     2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES

     2.1 DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES. Within 10 days after the payment of the
Purchase Price following the exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part), the
Company at its expense  shall issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder (a)
a certificate  or  certificates  for the number of fully paid and  nonassessable
Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, and (b)
a new  Warrant in  substantially  the same form to purchase up to that number of
Warrant Shares,  if any, as to which this Warrant has not been exercised if this
Warrant has not  expired.  The Holder  shall for all  purposes be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such Warrant  Shares on the date this Warrant was
exercised  (the date the  Holder has fully  complied  with the  requirements  of
Section  1),  irrespective  of  the  date  of  delivery  of the  certificate  or
certificates  representing  the Warrant Shares;  PROVIDED that, if the date such
exercise  is made is a date when the stock  transfer  books of the  Company  are
closed,  such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
Warrant Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.

     2.2 NO FRACTIONAL  SHARES.  No  fractional  shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of fractional  shares,  the Company shall pay
the Holder a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of the fractional shares
(as determined by the Company's Board of Directors) on the date of exercise.

     3. COVENANTS AS TO WARRANT SHARES

     The Company  covenants  that at all times during the Exercise  Period there
shall be reserved for issuance and delivery  upon  exercise of this Warrant such
number of Warrant  Shares as is  necessary  for exercise in full of this Warrant
and, from time to time,  it will take all steps  necessary to amend the Articles
of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of Warrant Shares.

     4. ADJUSTMENTS; TERMINATION OF WARRANT UPON CERTAIN EVENTS

     4.1 EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION.

          (a) REORGANIZATION - NO CHANGE IN CONTROL

     Upon a merger,  consolidation,  acquisition of all or substantially  all of
the  property  or stock,  liquidation  or other  reorganization  of the  Company
(collectively,  a  "REORGANIZATION")  during the Exercise Period, as a result of
which the  shareholders of the Company receive cash,  stock or other property in
exchange for their Warrant Shares and the holders of the Company's voting equity
securities  immediately  prior to such  Reorganization  together  own a majority
interest of the voting equity securities of the successor  corporation following
such  Reorganization,  lawful  provision  shall be made so that the Holder shall
thereafter be entitled to receive,  upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of
shares  of  securities  of  the  successor   corporation   resulting  from  such
Reorganization  (and cash and other property),  to which a holder of the Warrant

                                       2
<PAGE>
Shares  issuable  upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such
Reorganization  if this  Warrant had been  exercised  immediately  prior to such
Reorganization.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good
faith by the Company's  Board of Directors)  shall be made in the application of
the  provisions  of this  Warrant with respect to the rights and interest of the
Holder after the  Reorganization  to the end that the provisions of this Warrant
(including  adjustments  of the  Exercise  Price  and  the  number  and  type of
securities  purchasable  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  this  Warrant)  shall  be
applicable  after that event,  as near as reasonably  may be, in relation to any
shares deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.

          (b) REORGANIZATION - CHANGE IN CONTROL; TERMINATION OF WARRANT

     Upon  Reorganization  during the Exercise Period,  as a result of which the
shareholders  of the Company  receive cash,  stock or other property in exchange
for  their  Warrant  Shares  and the  holders  of the  Company's  voting  equity
securities  immediately  prior to such  Reorganization  together own less than a
majority interest of the voting equity  securities of the successor  corporation
following such Reorganization, the Holder shall be given notice of such proposed
action as  provided  in Section  7. The  Holder  may  attend the  meeting of the
Company's shareholders at which such action is considered and voted upon. If the
proposed action is approved  according to applicable law by the  shareholders of
all corporations or other entities that are parties to the proposed action,  the
Holder shall be so notified in writing by the Company by registered or certified
mail at least 10 days before its  effectiveness.  Notwithstanding  the period of
exercisability  stated on the face of this  Warrant,  this Warrant  shall become
forever  null and void to the  extent  not  exercised  on or before  5:00  p.m.,
Pacific time, on the seventh day following the delivery of such notice; provided
that if the Reorganization  does not close, this Warrant shall not terminate and
the Exercise Period shall continue as stated in this Warrant.

     4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK SPLITS, DIVIDENDS.

     If the Company shall subdivide the number of outstanding shares of the same
class as the Warrant Shares into a greater  number of shares,  then the Exercise
Price in effect before such  dividend or  subdivision  shall be  proportionately
reduced and the number of Warrant  Shares at that time issuable  pursuant to the
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased; and, conversely, if
the Company shall contract the number of outstanding shares of the same class as
the Warrant  Shares by  combining  such shares into a smaller  number of shares,
then  the  Exercise   Price  in  effect   before  such   combination   shall  be
proportionately  increased and the number  Warrant  Shares at that time issuable
pursuant to the exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be  proportionately
decreased.  Each adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable shall be to
the nearest whole share.

     4.3 CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.

     In the case of any  adjustment in the Exercise  Price or number and type of
securities  issuable upon  exercise of this  Warrant,  the Company will promptly
give written  notice to the Holder in the form of a  certificate,  certified and
confirmed  by an  officer  of the  Company,  setting  forth  the  adjustment  in
reasonable detail.
