                        COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

            1. ISSUANCE; CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. In consideration of good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by HENLEY
HEALTHCARE, INC., a Texas corporation (the "Company"),________________ or
registered assigns (the "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any

Date"), _________________ Thousand (_______) (2) fully paid and nonassessable
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $____ par value per share (the "Common

_____(3) per share, subject to further adjustment as set forth herein. This
Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities

interest) are parties. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have

            2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. (This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in
part at the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock payable hereunder, payable
in cash or by certified or official bank check, or by "cashless exercise", by
means of tendering this Warrant Certificate to the Company to receive a number
of shares of Common Stock equal in Market Value to the difference between the
aggregate Market Value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant and the total cash exercise price thereof divided by the Market
Price. Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the annexed Notice of
Exercise Form duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the
shares of Common Stock purchased, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. For the
purposes of this Section 2, "Market Value" shall be an amount equal to the
closing price of a share of Common Stock for the day preceding the Company's
receipt of the Notice of Exercise Form duly executed (the "Market Price")
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon surrender
of this Warrant Certificate.

                  (b) For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued
in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the
Holder and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have
been commenced, on the issue date

                  (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Warrant, or of the
other Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement),
in no event (except (i) with respect to an mandatory conversion, if any, of the
Preferred Stock as provided in the Certificate of Designations, (ii) as
specifically provided in the Certificate of Designations as an exception to this
provision, or (iii) if the Company is in default hereunder or under any of the
Transaction Agreements, and the Holder has asserted such default in writing and
the applicability of this provision to such default) shall the Holder be
entitled to exercise this Warrant or shall the Company have the obligation, to
issue shares upon such exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant to the
extent that, after such conversion, the sum of (1) 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 unconverted portion of the Preferred Stock or unexercised
portion of the Warrants), and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants with
respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result
in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to
be issued to the Holder upon such conversion or exercise). For purposes of the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of
such sentence.

                                      2
<PAGE>
            3. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at all
times during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be
required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares").

            4. MUTILATION OR LOSS OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of
reasonably satisfactory indemnification and affidavit, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

            5. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

            6. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.

                  6.1 ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM. If an adjustment of the Exercise
Price is required pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder shall be entitled to
purchase such number of additional shares of Common Stock as will cause (i) the
total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant
to this Warrant, multiplied by (ii) the adjusted Exercise Price per share, to
equal (iii) the dollar amount of the total number of shares of Common Stock
which the Holder is entitled to purchase before adjustment, multiplied by the
total Exercise Price before adjustment.

                  6.2 CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS. In case of any stock split or reverse
stock split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock,
recapitalization, merger or consolidation, or like capital adjustment affecting
the Common Stock of the Company, the provisions of this Section 6 shall be
applied as if such capital adjustment event had occurred immediately prior to
the date of this Warrant and the original Exercise Price had been fairly
allocated to the stock resulting from such capital adjustment; and in other
respects the provisions of this Section shall be applied in a fair, equitable
and reasonable manner so as to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes
hereof. A rights offering to stockholders shall be deemed a stock dividend to
the extent of the bargain purchase element of the rights.

                  6.3 ADJUSTMENT FOR SPIN OFF. If, for any reason, prior to the
exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company spins off or otherwise divests
itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes all or of a part of
its assets in a transaction (the "Spin Off") in which the Company does not
receive compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes
securities of another entity (the "Spin Off Securities") to be issued to
security holders of the Company, then

                                      3
<PAGE>
            (a) the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved Spin Off Securities
      equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to the Holder had
      all of the Holder's unexercised Warrants outstanding on the record date
      (the "Record Date") for determining the amount and number of Spin Off
      Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company (the
      "Outstanding Warrants") been exercised as of the close of business on the
      trading day immediately before the Record Date (the "Reserved Spin Off
      Shares"), and (ii) to be issued to the Holder on the exercise of all or
      any of the Outstanding Warrants, such amount of the Reserved Spin Off
      Shares equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Shares multiplied by (y) a
      fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the amount of the Outstanding
      Warrants then being exercised, and (II) the denominator is the amount of
      the Outstanding Warrants; and

            (b) the Exercise Price on the Outstanding Warrants shall be adjusted
      immediately after consummation of the Spin Off by multiplying the Exercise
      Price by a fraction (if, but only if, such fraction is less than 1.0), the
      numerator of which is the Average Market Price of the Common Stock (as
      defined below) for the five (5) trading days immediately following the
      fifth trading day after the Record Date, and the denominator of which is
      the Average Market Price of the Common Stock on the five (5) trading days
      immediately preceding the Record Date; and such adjusted Exercise Price
      shall be deemed to be the Exercise Price with respect to the Outstanding
      Warrants after the Record Date. As used herein, the term "Average Market
      Price of the Common Stock" means the average closing bid price of a share
      of Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg, LP or, if not so reported, as
      reported by the securities exchange or automated system on which the
      Common Stock is listed or on the over-the-counter market for the relevant
      date.

            7. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                  7.1 TRANSFER. This Warrant has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act") and has been issued to the
Holder for investment and not with a view to the distribution of either the
Warrant or the Warrant Shares. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant
Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective
registration statement under the Act relating to such security or an opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the
Act. Each certificate for the Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security
issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the
face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company,
setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section.

                  7.2 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) Reference is made to the
Registration Rights Agreement. The Company's obligations under the Registration
Rights Agreement and the other terms and conditions thereof with respect to the
Warrant Shares, including, but not necessarily limited to, the Company's
commitment to file a registration statement including the Warrant Shares,

                                      4
<PAGE>
to have the registration of the Warrant Shares completed and effective, and to
maintain such registration, are incorporated herein by reference.

                  (b) In addition to the registration rights referred to in the
preceding provisions of Section 7.2(a), effective after the expiration of the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement as contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Holder shall have piggy-back registration rights with
respect to the Warrant Shares then held by the Holder or then subject to
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (collectively, the "Remaining Warrant
Shares"), subject to the conditions set forth below. If, at any time after the
Registration Statement has ceased to be effective, the Company participates
(whether voluntarily or by reason of an obligation to a third party) in the
registration of any shares of the Company's stock (other than a registration on
Form S-8), the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder and the
Holder shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) business days after
receipt of such notice, to demand inclusion of all or a portion of the Holder's
Remaining Warrant Shares in such registration statement. If the Holder exercises
such election, the Remaining Warrant Shares so designated shall be included in
the registration statement at no cost or expense to the Holder (other than any
costs or commissions which would be borne by the Holder under the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement). The Holder's rights under this Section 7 shall
expire at such time as the Holder can sell all of the Remaining Warrant Shares
under Rule 144 without volume or other restrictions or limit.

            8. NOTICES. Any notice or other communication required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, telegraphed,
telexed, sent by facsimile transmission or sent by certified, registered or

made under the laws of the State of New York for contracts to be wholly
performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof
regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction
of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of New York

jurisdictions. To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall
reimburse the Holder for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by
the Buyer in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under any of the
Transaction Agreements.

            11. COUNTERPARTS. This Warrant may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
