         3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with the Company's
registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

                  (a) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission on or prior to
the Filing Date, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or if the Company is not
then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 such
registration shall be on another appropriate form) in accordance with the method
or methods of distribution thereof as specified by the Holders, and use its best
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective, but in any
event not later than the Effectiveness Date, and remain effective as provided
herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that not less than three (3) Business Days prior to
the filing of the Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be
incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to the Holders
copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than
those incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders,
and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified
public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to such Holders, to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not
file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities shall reasonably object in writing within two (2) Business Days of
their receipt thereof. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via
facsimile of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on the second
Trading Day after the Company receives notification of the effectiveness from
the Commission. Failure to so notify the Holder within 1 Trading Day of such
notification shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(a)(ii). The Company shall,
within two Trading Days after the day that the Company receives notification of
the effectiveness from the Commission, file a Form 424(b)(5) with the
Commission.

                  (ii) If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior
to the Filing Date (if the Company files a Registration Statement without
affording the Holder the opportunity to review and comment on the same as
required by Section 3(a), the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied this
clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for
acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act,
within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in
writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement
will not be "reviewed," or is not subject to further review, or (iii) a
Registration Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared
effective by the Commission on or before the Effectiveness Date, or (iv) after a
Registration Statement is first declared effective by the Commission, it ceases
for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities
for which it is required to be effective, or the Holders are not permitted to
utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more
than an aggregate of 45 Trading Days during any 12-month period (which need not
be consecutive Trading Days) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an
"EVENT," and for purposes of clause (i) or (iii) the date on which such Event
occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such five Trading Day
period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such 45
Trading Day-period is exceeded being referred to as "EVENT DATE"), then in
addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable
law, then, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such
Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date)
until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an

                                       4
<PAGE>

amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to
2.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities then held by such
Holder. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to
this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will
pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount
that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily
from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus
all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages
pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any
portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

                  (b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the
applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and
file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to
register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities;
(ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required
Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the
Securities Act; (iii) respond as promptly as possible to any comments received
from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and complete copies
of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration
Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the
applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such
Prospectus as so supplemented.

                  (c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold as
promptly as possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than three (3)
days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such
notice in writing no later than one (1) Business Day following the day (i)(A)
when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to
the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission
notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration
Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration
Statement and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any
request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority
for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for
additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or
all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that
purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties of the
Company contained in any agreement contemplated hereby ceases to be true and
correct in all material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such
purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made
in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or

                                       5
<PAGE>

deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or
that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.

                  (d) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if
issued, obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or
exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

                  (e) If requested by the Holders of a majority in interest of
the Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as
the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all
required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment
as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the
matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment.

                  (f) Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one
conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits to the extent
requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated
by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

                  (g) Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many
copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and
each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and
the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto, during periods in which such Prospectus and each amendment
or supplement thereto are effective, by each of the selling Holders in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

                  (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities,
use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling
Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from
such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and
sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the
United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such registration
or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness
Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it
is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or
subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to
be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall, if
required under the terms of this Agreement, be free of all restrictive legends,
and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and
registered in such names as any Holder may request within the applicable time
periods prescribed for the issuance of shares upon exercise of Warrants.

                  (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by SECTION
3(C)(VI), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including
a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus
will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                  (k) Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
relating to such Registration Statement to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board,
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, Nasdaq National Market, American Stock Exchange and any
other securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed as and when required pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement.

                  (l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security
holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month
period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a

shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.

                  (m) If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name
or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder
shall have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name or
otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute
then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the
time that such reference ceases to be required.

                  Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it has received
copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in
SECTION 3(g) and notice from the Company that such Registration Statement and
any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by
SECTION 3(c), (ii) it and its officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as
applicable to them in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant

information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable
Securities as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement,
and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of
any such Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a
reasonable time after receiving such request.

Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of
any event of the kind described in SECTION 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv),
3(c)(v) or 3(c)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's
receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration
Statement contemplated by SECTION 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the
"ADVICE") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be
resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.

                  (n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding
the Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the "BOARD") reasonably
determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the
Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant
business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or
disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to
the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company's
best interest to disclose, then the Company may postpone or suspend filing or
effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 20
consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend its
obligation under this SECTION 3(N) for more than 45 days in the aggregate during
any 12 month period; provided, however, that no such postponement or suspension
shall be permitted for consecutive 20 day periods, arising out of the same set
of facts, circumstances or transactions.

                  (o) If NASDR Rule 2710 requires any broker-dealer to make a
filing prior to executing a sale by a Holder, make an Issuer Filing with the
NASDR, Inc. Corporate Financing Department pursuant to NASDR Rule

from NASDR in connection therewith, and pay the filing fee required in

assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (b) INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDER. The Holder shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers, agents and employees, each
Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers,
agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review), as
incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement or

                                       9
<PAGE>

alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or form of prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
is contained in any information so furnished in writing by the Holder or other
Indemnified Party to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration
Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was reasonably relied
upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or
such form of prospectus or to the extent that such information relates to the
Holder or the Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities
and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Holder expressly for
use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus.
In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon
the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.

                  (c) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. If any Proceeding
shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder
(an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing, and
the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the
payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities
pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is
not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have
proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

                  An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3)
the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel (which shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) that a conflict of interest is likely to
exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party
shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any
settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party
is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such Proceeding.

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including
reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with
investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not
inconsistent with this SECTION 5) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as
incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an
Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to
undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally
judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder).

                  (d) CONTRIBUTION. If a claim for indemnification under SECTION
5(a) or SECTION 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure
or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in
accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the
actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying
Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact,
has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such
Indemnifying, Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result
of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
in SECTION 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses
incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such
party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in
accordance with its terms.

                  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this SECTION 5(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have
to the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of
the Holders herein shall be the several, and not joint, obligation of each
Holder as to itself and not as to any other Holder.

         6. RULE 144. Provided the Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, as long as the Holder owns Shares, the Company
covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file
within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the
Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange

                                       11
<PAGE>

Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all
such filings. As long as the Holder owns Shares, if the Company is not required
to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will
prepare and furnish to the Holder and make publicly available in accordance with
Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial
statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements
in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be
required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time
period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the
Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further
action as the Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from
time to time to enable such Person to sell Shares without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions
relating to such sale pursuant to Rule 144. Upon the request of the Holder, the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a written certification of a duly authorized
officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

         7. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) REMEDIES. In the event of a breach by the Company or by
the Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, the Holder or the
Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages,
will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The
Company and the Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate
compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any
action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the
defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

                  (b) NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. Neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries has, as of the date hereof entered into and currently in
effect, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date
of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that
is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holder in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

                  (c) PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time when there is not
an effective Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, the
Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others
under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4
or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then
equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with
any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall
send to each holder of Registrable Securities written notice of such
determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, any
such holder shall so request in writing, (which request shall specify the
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Investors), the Company

                                       12
<PAGE>

will cause the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holder, to
the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so
to be registered, provided that if at any time after giving written notice of
its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the
registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company
shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such
securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such
determination to the Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination
not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to
pay expenses in accordance with SECTION 4 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a
determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any
Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this SECTION 7(c) for the
same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall
include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable
Securities the Holder requests to be registered; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to
this SECTION 7(c) that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the
Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing
underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of
the Registrable Securities in such registration statement, then if the Company
after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine
that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities, would materially adversely
affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on
such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer
or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the number of
Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement
shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), if the
Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of
fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the Registrable Securities of the
Holders shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company after
consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such
Registrable Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Securities are being offered
for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such
reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Registrable
Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of similar
reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).

                  (d) AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company
and each of the Holders.

                  (e) NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or

                  (f) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and
permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holder;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company may assign this Agreement to Accessity Corp.
in the event of the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement. Each Investor
may assign its rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted
under this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

                  (g) ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights of the
Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale
Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be
automatically assignable by the Holder to any Affiliate of the Holder or any
other Holder or Affiliate of any other Holder of all or a portion of the
Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee
or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to
the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is,
within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with
written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and
(b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further
disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted
under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before
the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of
this Section, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to
be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, and (v) such transfer shall
have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase
Agreement. In addition, each Holder shall have the right to assign its rights
hereunder to any other Person with the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights to assignment shall
apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.

                  (h) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with
the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original
thereof.

                                       14
<PAGE>

                  (i) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard
to principles of conflicts of law thereof.

                  (j) CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The remedies provided herein are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

                  (k) SEVERABILITY. If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable in any respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants
and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and
shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto
shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to
achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such
term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared
to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that
may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

                  (l) HEADINGS. The headings herein are for convenience only, do
not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof.

                  (m) INDEPENDENT NATURE OF HOLDERS' OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS. The
obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in
any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder.
Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any
closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be
deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders
are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising
out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be
joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

         2. REGISTRATION OF WARRANT. The Company shall register this Warrant
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

         3. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS. The Company shall register the transfer
of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this
Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed,
to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or

                                       2
<PAGE>

this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of
this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant
evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any,
shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by
the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all
of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

         4. EXERCISE AND DURATION OF WARRANTS.

                  (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date through
and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00 p.m., Pacific Standard Time on the
Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall
be and become void and of no value. The Company may not call or redeem any
portion of this Warrant without the prior written consent of the affected
Holder.

                  (b) CASHLESS EXERCISE. If at any time after one year from the
date of issuance of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement
registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by
means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive
a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

                  (A)  = the closing bid price on the Trading Day immediately
                          preceding the date of such election;

                  (B)  = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and

                  (X)  = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
                          of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this
                          Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a
                          cashless exercise.

                  (c) EXERCISE LIMITATION; HOLDER'S RESTRICTIONS. The Holder
shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to
Section 4(b) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such
issuance after exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's affiliates), as
set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, would beneficially own in excess of
4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates 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 (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion
of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and
(B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any
other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Shares
or Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this
Section 4(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by Holder that the
Company is not representing to Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Holder is solely responsible for any
schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the
limitation contained in this Section 4(c) applies, the determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the
Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the
sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Exercise Notice shall be
deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of
this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage

                                       3
<PAGE>

limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the
accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 4(c), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may
rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the
Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more
recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company
or the Company's Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company
shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to
the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant,
by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section
4(c) may be waived by the Holder, at the election of the Holder, upon not less
than 61 days' prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section
4(c) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as
determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

         5. DELIVERY OF WARRANT SHARES.

                  (a) To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant
Shares represented by this Warrant is being exercised. Upon delivery of the
Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached
Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon
payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that
the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no
event later than three Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined
herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise, which, unless otherwise required by the Purchase
Agreement, shall be free of restrictive legends. The Company shall, upon request
of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which a registration statement
covering the resale of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver
Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation
or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if
available, provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to change
its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation. A "Date of Exercise"
means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the
Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately
completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number
of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

                  (b) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the
Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to
rescind such exercise.

                  (c) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the
Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior
to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the
Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares

                                       4
<PAGE>

that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the
exercise at issue by (B) the closing sale price of the Common Stock at the time
of the obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option
of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number
of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the
Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.
The Holder shall provide the Company written notice and supporting documentation
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

                  (d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.

         6. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental
tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which
taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares
or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be
responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or
transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

         7. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with
such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as
a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such
mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company's
obligation to issue the New Warrant.

         8. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

         9. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (a) STOCK DIVIDENDS AND SPLITS. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the payment of the dividend
or the making of the distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or
(iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective
date of such subdivision or combination.

                  (b) FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall
have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same
amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled
to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been,
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of
Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the
"Alternate Consideration"). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination
of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company
shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of
the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as
to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company or
surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new
warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the Alternate
Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms
of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall
include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with
the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such
replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction
analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

                  (c) NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9, the number of
Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant
Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment.

                  (d) CALCULATIONS. All calculations under this Section 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the
disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.

                  (e) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (f) NOTICE OF CORPORATE EVENTS. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing
the material terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the extent
such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public
information to the Holder) at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common
Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and
the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.

                  (g) SUBSEQUENT EQUITY SALES. If the Company or the Subsidiary
thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to
reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer,
sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock,
at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower
price, the "Base Share Price" and such issuances collectively, a "Dilutive
Issuance"), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase
price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange
prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is
issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common
Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price,
such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise
Price), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Share Price
and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that
the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the
decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price
prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the
Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating
therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange
price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the "Dilutive
Issuance Notice"). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company
provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 9(g), upon the
occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance
the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base
Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share
Price in the Exercise Notice.

         10. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. Except in connection with a cashless
exercise as set forth in Section 4(b) above, the Holder shall pay the Exercise
Price by delivering to the Company immediately available funds.

         11. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will
be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash
equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing sale price of
one Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the date of
exercise.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         12. NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in

of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 5:00 p.m. (California
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of

following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight

required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to
the Company, to Pacific Ethanol, Inc., Attn: President, or to Facsimile No.:
(559) 435-1478 (or such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing
in accordance with this Section), or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or
facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or
facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with
this Section.

         13. WARRANT AGENT. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon ten (10) days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.

         14. VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENT BY COMPANY. The Company may at any time during
the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount
and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company.

         15. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to
the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to
any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and
assigns.

                  (b) All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each
party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations,
enforcement and defense of this Warrant and the transactions herein contemplated
("Proceedings") (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the
California Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the California Courts for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of any California Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an
improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives

the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by
jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the
transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to

prosecution of such Proceeding.

                  (c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.

                  (d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
