         "Fair Market Value" of one share of Common Stock shall mean the average
          -----------------

the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the date of
exercise of this Warrant.

         "Registered Holder" shall mean any Holder in whose name this Warrant is
          -----------------
registered upon the books and records maintained by Company.

         "Sale of the Company" shall mean a merger of the Company with or into

merger, or a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the

<PAGE>


         "Stock Purchase Agreement" means the Securities Purchase Agreement,
          ------------------------
dated August ___, 2001, between the Company and the Holder.

         "Warrant" as used herein, shall include this Warrant and any warrant
          -------
delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

2.       EXERCISE OF WARRANT

         2.1. Payment. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of
this Warrant and applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be exercised by
the delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile) of the form
of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Annex A (the "Notice of Exercise"),
duly executed by the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, and as soon
as practicable after such date, surrendering:

                  (a) this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, and

                  (b) payment in cash (by check) or by wire transfer.


         2.2. Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares. As soon as practicable on
              -------------------------------------
or after the date this Warrant is exercised, the Company shall issue and deliver
to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or
certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share equal to such
fraction of the current Fair Market Value of one whole share of Common Stock as
of the date of exercise of this Warrant. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.

         2.3. Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. The Company hereby
              --------------------------------------------
acknowledges that exercise of this Warrant by Holder may subject the Company
and/or the Holder to the filing requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976 and the rules promulgated thereunder (the "HSR Act")
and that the Holder may be prevented from exercising this Warrant until the
expiration or early termination of all waiting periods imposed by the HSR Act
("HSR Act Restrictions"). If, on or before the Expiration Date, the Holder has
sent the Notice of Exercise to the Company, and the Holder has not been able to
complete the exercise of this Warrant prior to the Expiration Date because of
HSR Act Restrictions, the Holder shall be entitled to complete the process of
exercising this Warrant, for a period of ten (10) business days following
termination of the HSR Act Restrictions, in accordance with the procedures
contained herein notwithstanding the fact that completion of the exercise of
this Warrant would take place after the Expiration Date.

         2.4. Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise. In case of any
              --------------------------------------------
partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon
surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and
date for the balance of the Shares purchasable hereunder. This Warrant shall be
deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the
date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. However, if Holder is
subject to HSR Act filing requirements, this Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised on the date immediately following the date of the expiration of
all HSR Act Restrictions. The person entitled to receive the Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of


                                       2

<PAGE>


record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Holder is
deemed to have exercised this Warrant.

         2.5. Sale of the Company. In the event of a Sale of the Company, the
              -------------------
Company shall give written notice to the Holder of such Sale of the Company not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the closing date thereof. Holder shall be
entitled to exercise the Warrant immediately after the closing date of the Sale
of the Company even if such closing occurs prior to the Effective Date.

3. TAXES. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge
   -----
imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any
certificate for the Shares in any name other than that of the Registered Holder
of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or other charge has
been paid, or it has been established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction
that no tax or other charge is due.

4. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
   ------------------
Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case
of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will
execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

5.       ADJUSTMENTS.
         -----------

         5.1      Exercise Price; Adjustment of Number of Shares.  The Exercise
                  ----------------------------------------------
Price set forth hereof and the number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided.

         5.2 Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If
             ---------------------------------------------------------------
any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company, or any Sale of the Company (collectively, a "Transaction") shall be
effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
stock, securities, cash or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common
Stock, then, as a condition of such Transaction, reasonable, lawful and adequate
provisions shall be made whereby the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter
have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and
conditions specified in this Warrant, upon exercise of this Warrant and in lieu
of the Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the
exercise of the rights represented hereby, such number, amount and like kind of
shares of stock, securities, cash or assets as may be issued or payable pursuant
to the terms of the Transaction with respect to or in exchange for the number of
shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon
the exercise of the rights represented hereby as if such shares were outstanding
immediately prior to the Transaction, and in any such case appropriate provision
shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the holders to the end
that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for
adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of Shares purchasable and
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as
nearly as may be practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or securities
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.

             ------------------------------------------------------
any time the Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, or shall declare and pay any stock dividend with
respect to its outstanding stock that has the effect of increasing the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision or stock dividend shall be proportionately reduced and
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant immediately
prior to such subdivision or stock dividend shall be proportionately increased,
and conversely, in case at any time the Company shall combine its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased
and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately reduced.

6. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company hereby covenants that at all times
   ---------------------------
there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant
such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the
Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and,
from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of
Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and
when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and
other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive
rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state
securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the
Company's officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates
to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant.

8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. This Warrant shall not be transferred by the
   ------------------------
Holder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company
and without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by
the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment
representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, if such are requested by the Company).

9. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder
   -------------------------------
hereby represents, warrants and covenants that any shares of stock purchased
upon exercise of this Warrant or acquired upon conversion thereof shall be
acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection
with, any distribution thereof; and that, unless the shares shall have been
registered with the SEC under the 1933 Act, all stock certificates representing
shares of stock issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant or upon
conversion of such shares may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the
following form:

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
         SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
         OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT

                                       4

<PAGE>


         THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED IN
         CONNECTION WITH SUCH DISPOSITION OR (B) THE SALE OF SUCH SECURITIES IS
         MADE PURSUANT TO SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE 144.

10. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant shall not entitle the
    ---------------------------------------
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In
the absence of affirmative action by such Holder to purchase Common Stock by
exercise of this Warrant, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall cause such Holder
hereof to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose.

11.      NOTICES.  All notices and other communications from the Company to the
         -------
Holder shall be given in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement.

         --------
in reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

13.      LAW GOVERNING.  This Warrant shall be governed in all respects by the
         -------------
laws of the State of California as applied to agreements among California
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California, without
regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof.

14.      NOTICES OF RECORD DATE.  In case:
         ----------------------

         14.1. the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of

other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
stock of any class or any other securities or to receive any other right; or

         14.2. of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation, any capital reorganization of the Company, any

or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation in
which holders of the Company's stock are to receive stock, securities or
property of another corporation; or

         14.3. of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company; or then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be
mailed to the Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case
may be,  (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the  purpose  of such
dividend,  distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization,
reclassification,  consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution,  liquidation,
