                         TOUCHSTONE RESOURCES USA, INC.

      Void after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on [________________]

      This  warrant   ("Warrant")  is  to  verify  that,  FOR  VALUE   RECEIVED,
[______________________________________]  ("Holder")  is entitled  to  purchase,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, from TOUCHSTONE RESOURCES USA, INC.,
a Delaware  corporation (the "Company"),  [__________________]  shares of common

<PAGE>

stock,  $.001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common  Stock"),  at any
time during the period commencing on the date hereof (the  "Commencement  Date")
and ending at 5:00 p.m.  Eastern  Standard Time on the third  anniversary of the
Commencement Date (the "Termination  Date"), at an exercise price (the "Exercise
Price") of $1.50 per share of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price per share shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events
as set forth below.

      This  Warrant has been  issued in  connection  with the  offering of units
comprised  of  convertible  preferred  stock and warrants  being  offered by the
Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company
and the Holder (the "SPA").

      The shares of Common  Stock or any other shares or other units of stock or
other securities or property,  or any combination thereof,  then receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant,  as adjusted from time to time, are sometimes referred
to hereinafter as "Exercise  Shares".  The exercise price per share as from time
to time in effect is referred to hereinafter as the "Exercise Price".

      1.    Exercise of Warrant; Issuance of Exercise Shares.

            (a)   Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the terms hereof, the purchase
rights  represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in
part,  at any time,  or from time to time,  by the surrender of this Warrant and
the Notice of Exercise  annexed  hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of
the Holder,  at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of
the Holder appearing on the books of the Company)  accompanied by payment of the
Exercise Price in full either: (i) in cash or by bank or certified check for the
Exercise  Shares  with  respect to which  this  Warrant  is  exercised;  (ii) by
delivery to the Company of shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock having a Fair
Market Value (as defined  below) equal to the  aggregate  Exercise  Price of the
Exercise Shares being  purchased that Holder is the record and beneficial  owner
of and that have  been held by the  Holder  for at least six (6)  months;  (iii)
provided  that the sale of the  Exercise  Shares  are  covered  by an  effective
registration  statement,  by  delivering  to the  Company a Notice  of  Exercise
together with an irrevocable  direction to a broker-dealer  registered under the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),  to sell a
sufficient  portion  of the  Exercise  Shares  and  deliver  the sales  proceeds
directly to the Company to pay the Exercise Price; or (iv) by any combination of
the  procedures  set forth in  subsections  (i),  (ii) and (iii) of this Section
1(a).  For the purposes of this Section  1(a),  "Fair Market  Value" shall be an
amount equal to the average of the Current  Market Value (as defined  below) for
the ten (10) days preceding the Company's receipt of the duly executed Notice of
Exercise form attached hereto as Appendix A.

      In the event that this  Warrant  shall be duly  exercised in part prior to
the Termination  Date, the Company shall issue a new Warrant or Warrants of like
tenor evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the
Exercise Shares purchasable under the Warrant so surrendered that shall not have
been purchased.

            (b)   Issuance of Exercise Shares:  Delivery of Warrant Certificate.
The Company  shall,  within ten (10) business  days or as soon  thereafter as is
practicable  of the exercise of this Warrant,  issue in the name of and cause to
be delivered to the Holder one or more  certificates  representing  the Exercise

                                       2
<PAGE>

Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise  under the terms
hereof. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and
the Holder  shall be deemed to have  become the  record  holder of the  Exercise
Shares as of the date of the due exercise of this Warrant.

             (c)  Exercise  Shares  Fully Paid and  Non-Assessable.  The Company
agrees and covenants that all Exercise  Shares issuable upon the due exercise of
the Warrant  represented  by this Warrant  certificate  ("Warrant  Certificate")
will, upon issuance and payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly  authorized,  validly issued,  fully paid and  non-assessable  and free and
clear of all taxes  (other than taxes which,  pursuant to Section 2 hereof,  the
Company shall not be obligated to pay) or liens, charges, and security interests
created by the Company with respect to the issuance thereof.

            (d)   Reservation  of Exercise  Shares.  The Company  covenants that
during the term this Warrant is  exercisable,  the Company will reserve from its
authorized  and unissued  Common Stock a sufficient  number of shares to provide
for the issuance of the Exercise  Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant,  and
from  time to time  will  take all steps  necessary  to amend  its  Articles  of
Incorporation to provide sufficient  reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrant.

            (e)   Fractional  Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional  shares of capital  stock  upon the  exercise  of this  Warrant or to
deliver Warrant  Certificates that evidence  fractional shares of capital stock.
In the event  that any  fraction  of an  Exercise  Share  would,  except for the
provisions  of this  subsection  (e),  be  issuable  upon the  exercise  of this
Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder exercising the Warrant an amount in
cash  equal to such  fraction  multiplied  by the  Current  Market  Value of the
Exercise  Share on the last business day prior to the date on which this Warrant
is exercised.  For purposes of this  subsection  (e), the "Current Market Value"
for any day shall be determined as follows:

                  (i)   If the Common  Stock is  admitted  to  quotation  on the
National   Association  of  Securities   Dealers   Automated   Quotation  System
("NASDAQ"),  the Fair Market Value on any given date shall be the average of the
highest bid and lowest  asked  prices of the Common  Stock as reported  for such
date or, if no bid and asked prices were  reported  for such date,  for the last
day preceding such date for which such prices were reported;

                  (ii)  If the Common  Stock is  admitted to trading on a United
States securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System, the Fair Market
Value on any date shall be the closing  price  reported  for the Common Stock on
such  exchange  or system for such date or, if no sales were  reported  for such
date, for the last day preceding such date for which a sale was reported;

                  (iii) If the  Common  Stock is traded in the  over-the-counter
market and not on NASDAQ,  the NASDAQ  National  Market  System or any  national
securities  exchange,  the Fair  Market  Value  shall be the average of the mean
between  the last bid and ask  prices  per  share as  reported  by the  National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. or an equivalent generally accepted reporting service, or
if not so  reported,  the  average of the  closing  bid and asked  prices of the
Common  Stock  as  furnished  to the  Company  by  any  member  of the  National
Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.,  selected  by the  Company for that
purpose; or

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (iv)  If the Fair Market  Value of the Common  Stock cannot be
determined on the basis previously set forth in this definition on the date that
the Fair Market Value is to be determined, the Board of Directors of the Company
shall in good faith  determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on such
date.

      2.    Payment of Taxes.

            (a)   The Company  will pay all  documentary  stamp  taxes,  if any,
attributable  to the initial  issuance of Exercise  Shares upon the  exercise of
this Warrant;  provided,  however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue of any Warrant  Certificates or any  certificates for Exercise Shares in a
name other than that of the Holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the
exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
such certificates  unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof  shall  have paid to the  Company  the  amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

            (b)   Upon  exercise of this  Warrant,  the  Company  shall have the
right (but only to the extent  that the  Company is  required by law to withhold
any  federal,  state and  local  taxes) to  require  the  Holder to remit to the
Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local tax withholding
requirements  prior to the  delivery  of any  certificate  for  Exercise  Shares
issuable pursuant to the exercise of such Warrant.

            (c)   A  Holder  who is  obligated  to pay  the  Company  an  amount
required to be withheld under  applicable tax withholding  requirements  may pay
such  amount:  (i) in  cash;  (ii)  in the  discretion  of the  Company's  Chief
Executive  Officer,  through the  delivery  to the  Company of  previously-owned
shares of common stock of the Company  having an aggregate  current market value
equal to the tax obligation, provided that the previously owned shares delivered
in satisfaction of the withholding obligations must have been held by the Holder
for at least six (6) months;  (iii) in the  discretion  of the  Company's  Chief
Executive  Officer,  through the  withholding  of shares of common  stock of the
Company  otherwise  issuable to the Holder in connection  with the exercise of a
Warrant;  or (iv) in the discretion of the Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer,
through a combination of the procedures set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
of this Section 2(c).

      3.    Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. In case any Warrant shall
be  mutilated,  lost,  stolen or  destroyed,  the Company may in its  discretion
issue, in exchange and substitution  for and upon  cancellation of the mutilated
Warrant,  or in lieu of and in  substitution  for the  Warrant  lost,  stolen or
destroyed,  a new Warrant or  Warrants  of like tenor and in the same  aggregate
denomination,  but only:  (i) in the case of loss,  theft or  destruction,  upon
receipt  of  evidence  satisfactory  to the  Company  of  such  loss,  theft  or
destruction  of  such  Warrant  and  indemnity  or  bond,  if  requested,   also
satisfactory to the Company, and (ii) in the case of mutilation,  upon surrender
of the mutilated  Warrant.  Applicants for such  substitute  Warrants shall also
comply  with such other  reasonable  regulations  and pay such other  reasonable
charges as the Company or its counsel may prescribe.

      4.    Rights of  Holder.  The  Holder  shall  not,  by virtue of  anything
contained in this  Warrant or  otherwise,  be entitled to any right  whatsoever,
either in law or equity,  of a  stockholder  of the Company,  including  without
limitation,  the  right to  receive  dividends  or to vote or to  consent  or to

                                       4
<PAGE>

receive  notice as a shareholder in respect of the meetings of  shareholders  or
the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

      5.    Registration  of  Transfers  and  Exchanges.  The  Warrant  shall be
transferable, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, only upon the books
of the Company, if any, to be maintained by it for that purpose,  upon surrender
of the Warrant  Certificate to the Company at its principal  office  accompanied
(if so  required by the  Company)  by a written  instrument  or  instruments  of
transfer in form  satisfactory  to the  Company and duly  executed by the Holder
thereof  or by the duly  appointed  legal  representative  thereof  or by a duly
authorized  attorney  and upon  payment of any  necessary  transfer tax or other
governmental  charge imposed upon such transfer.  In all cases of transfer by an
attorney,  the original letter of attorney,  duly approved,  or an official copy
thereof, duly certified, shall be deposited and remain with the Company. In case
of   transfer   by   executors,   administrators,   guardians   or  other  legal
representatives,  duly  authenticated  evidence  of  their  authority  shall  be
produced, and may be required to be deposited and remain with the Company in its
discretion.  Upon any such  registration  of  transfer,  a new Warrant  shall be
issued  to the  transferee  named  in  such  instrument  of  transfer,  and  the
surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the Company.

      Any  Warrant  may be  exchanged,  at the option of the Holder  thereof and
without charge,  when surrendered to the Company at its principal  office, or at
the office of its transfer  agent, if any, for another Warrant or other Warrants
of like tenor and  representing  in the aggregate the right to purchase from the
Company a like number and kind of Exercise Shares as the Warrant surrendered for
exchange or transfer,  and the Warrant so  surrendered  shall be canceled by the
Company or transfer agent, as the case may be.

      6.    Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and
kind of  securities  purchasable  upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

            (a)   Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company
shall at any time prior to the  expiration of this Warrant  subdivide its Common
Stock,  by  split-up  or  otherwise,  or  combine  its  Common  Stock,  or issue
additional  shares of its Common Stock or any preferred stock as a dividend with
respect to any shares of its Common  Stock,  then the number of Exercise  Shares
issuable on the exercise of this  Warrant  shall  forthwith  be  proportionately
increased in the case of a subdivision  or stock  dividend,  or  proportionately
decreased in the case of a combination.  Appropriate  adjustments  shall also be
made to the Exercise  Price,  but the aggregate  purchase  price payable for the
total number of Exercise  Shares  purchasable  under this Warrant (as  adjusted)
shall remain the same.  Any  adjustment  under this Section  6.2(a) shall become
effective at the close of business on the date the  subdivision  or  combination
becomes  effective,  or as of the record date of such dividend,  or in the event
that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

            (b)   Capital Reclassifications,  Reorganizations or Consolidations.
In the case of any capital reclassification, reorganization or consolidation, or
other  change,  in the Common Stock of the Company  (other than as a result of a
subdivision,  combination or stock dividend described in Section 6.2(a) above or
as a result of any "Fundamental  Transaction"  described in Section 6(c) below),
then, as a condition of such reclassification,  reorganization or change, lawful
provision  shall be made, and duly executed  documents  evidencing the same from

                                       5
<PAGE>

the Company or its  successor  shall be  delivered  to the  Holder,  so that the
Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the  expiration of this Warrant
to  purchase,  at a total price equal to that  payable upon the exercise of this
Warrant,  the kind and  amount  of shares  of stock  and  other  securities  and
property  receivable in connection with such  reclassification,  reorganization,
consolidation or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock
as were purchasable by the Holder  immediately  prior to such  reclassification,
reorganization,   consolidation  or  change.  In  any  such  case,   appropriate
provisions  shall be made with  respect to the rights and interest of the Holder
so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any
shares of stock or other  securities  and  property  deliverable  upon  exercise
hereof, and appropriate  adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable
hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

            (c)   Corporate  Reorganizations,  Consolidations or Mergers. In the
event of: (i) any  consolidation  or merger of the Company  with or into another
entity  (other than a merger in which the Company is the  successor  entity that
does  not   result   in  any   capital   reclassification,   reorganization   or
consolidation,  or  other  change,  in the  Common  Stock of the  Company,  or a
consolidation or merger between the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company) (ii) any sale,  lease,  transfer or conveyance to another entity of all
or  substantially  all of the property  and assets of the Company  (other than a
transfer to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), or (iii) a liquidation or
dissolution  of the  Company  (the  events in  subsections  (i),  (ii) and (iii)
collectively,  a  "Fundamental  Transaction"),   unless  provision  is  made  in
connection with such Fundamental  Transaction for the assumption of this Warrant
or for the  substitution of new like-kind  warrants by the successor entity as a
result of such Fundamental  Transaction,  with appropriate  adjustment as to the
number  and kind of shares  issuable  upon  exercise  of the  Warrant,  and,  if
appropriate, the per share exercise price, so as to enable the Holder after such
Fundamental  Transaction  to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other   securities  and  property   (including   cash)   receivable   upon  such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of
Common  Stock that would have been  received  upon  exercise or exchange of this
Warrant immediately prior to such Fundamental  Transaction,  this Warrant shall,
upon no less than fifteen (15) days written  notice,  terminate upon the closing
of any such Fundamental Transaction.

            (d)   Issuance of  Additional  Options or Warrants.  Notwithstanding
any other  provision of this Section 6, if, prior to June 30, 2005,  the Company
issues or sells any options or warrants that are Covered  Securities (as defined
in Section 6(f)) with an exercise  price per share less than the Exercise  Price
in effect  immediately  prior to such issuance or sale, then,  immediately after
such  issuance  or sale,  the  Exercise  Price  shall be  reduced  to such lower
exercise price per share. No further modification of the issuance terms shall be
made upon the actual  issuance  of the  underlying  shares of Common  Stock upon
exercise of such  options or  warrants.  If there is a change at any time in the
exercise price provided for in such options or warrants,  then immediately after
such  change,  the Exercise  Price shall be adjusted to the Exercise  Price that
would  have  been in  effect at such time had such  options  or  warrants  still
outstanding  provided  for such  changed  exercise  price at the time  initially
issued or sold;  provided,  however,  that if such adjustment would result in an
increase in the Exercise  Price and such  Exercise  Price,  as  adjusted,  would
exceed the initial  Exercise Price on the date hereof,  the Exercise Price shall
be  increased  to the price that is equal to the initial  Exercise  Price on the
date hereof.  In no event shall the Exercise  Price exceed the initial  Exercise
Price on the date hereof.  However,  upon the  expiration of any such options or
warrants,  the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Exercise Price
pursuant to this  Section  6(d),  if all or any  portion of any such  options or
warrants  shall not have been  exercised,  the value of such options or warrants
shall be deducted  from the Offering  Proceeds (as defined in Section  6(f)) for
the  purpose of  determining  whether  such  options  or  warrants  are  Covered
Securities.

                                       6
<PAGE>

            (e)   Notice of  Adjustment.  When any  adjustment is required to be
made in the number or kind of shares  purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant,
or in the Exercise  Price,  the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such
event  and of the  number  of shares  of  Common  Stock or other  securities  or
property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

            (f)   Covered Securities. "Covered Securities" shall mean options or
warrants issued by the Company in a private  offering for the purpose of raising
capital for the Company;  provided,  however,  that the  aggregate  net proceeds
received by the Company in such offering (the "Offering Proceeds") exceeds fifty
percent  (50%) of the  aggregate  net  proceeds  received  by the Company in the
offering of units  comprised of convertible  preferred  stock and warrants being
offered by the Company pursuant to the SPA. Such term specifically  excludes any
other type of security  issued by the Company  for any purpose  whatsoever,  and
specifically  excludes  warrants not issued by the Company in a private offering
for the purpose of raising capital, including, but not limited to, warrants (and
any underlying securities issuable upon the exercise thereof) offered or issued:
(A)  to  the  public  pursuant  to a  registration  statement  filed  under  the
Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended,  (B)  in  connection  with  a bona  fide
investment  in or by the Company,  any  acquisition  of another  corporation  or
entity by the  Company,  whether by merger,  consolidation,  purchase  of all or
substantially all of the assets of such corporation or entity, share exchange or
reorganization,  any  acquisition  of any  interests,  rights or other assets of
another  corporation or entity by the Company, or any similar  transaction,  (C)
pursuant to equipment  leases or debt financings,  (D) to employees,  directors,
consultants,  suppliers,  customers or other business or joint venture  partners
for  the  primary   purpose  of  soliciting  or  retaining   their  services  or
compensating them for their services, (E) pursuant to the exercise or conversion
of  exercisable  or  convertible  securities  that are  outstanding  on the date
hereof, or (F) in connection with any stock split or combination, stock dividend
or distribution,  reclassification or recapitalization, or similar action by the
Company.

            (g)   No  Impairment.  The  Company  and the Holder will not, by any
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or  performed  hereunder  by the Company or the Holder,
respectively,  but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all the provisions of this Section 6 and in the taking of all such action as may
be  necessary or  appropriate  in order to protect the rights or the Company and
the Holder against impairment.

      7.    Investment Intent, Exercise Restrictions and Transfer Restrictions.

            (a)   The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges
that this  Warrant and the  Exercise  Shares to be issued upon  exercise  hereof
(collectively, the "Securities") are being acquired for the Holder's own account
for  investment  purposes  only  and not with a view  to,  or with  any  present
intention  of,  distributing  or reselling  any of such  Securities.  The Holder
acknowledges  and agrees that the Securities have not been registered  under the
Securities Act or under any state  securities  laws, and that the Securities may
not be, directly or indirectly,  sold,  transferred,  offered for sale, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without  registration under the Securities
Act and  applicable  state  securities  laws,  except  pursuant to an  available
exemption from such  registration.  The Holder also acknowledges and agrees that
this Warrant many not be exercised unless the Holder provides the Company with a

                                       7
<PAGE>

written  certification  that this Warrant is not being exercised by or on behalf
of any "U.S.  Person" as such term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulations S under
the  Securities  Act, or provides a written  opinion of United States counsel of
recognized  standing,  in for and substance  satisfactory to the Company, to the
effect that this Warrant and the  Securities to be issued upon its exercise have
been  registered  under the  Securities  Act and  registered or qualified  under
applicable  securities  laws of any state or other  jurisdiction,  or are exempt
from such  registration or  qualification.  The Holder further  acknowledges and
agrees that  neither the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") nor any
securities  commission  or other  governmental  authority  has: (i) approved the
transfer of the Securities or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the transfer
of the  Securities;  or (ii) confirmed the accuracy of,  determined the adequacy
of, or reviewed this Warrant. The Holder has such knowledge,  sophistication and
experience in financial, tax and business matters in general, and investments in
securities in particular,  that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of  this   investment  in  the   Securities,   and  the  Holder  has  made  such
investigations in connection  herewith as it deemed necessary or desirable so as
to make an informed  investment  decision  without  relying upon the Company for
legal or tax advice related to this investment.

            (b)   The  certificates  evidencing any Exercise  Shares issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall have endorsed  thereon  (except to the extent
that the restrictions described in any such legend are no longer applicable) the
following  legend,  appropriate  notations thereof will be made in the Company's
stock  transfer  books,   and  stop  transfer   instructions   reflecting  these
restrictions  on transfer will be placed with the transfer agent of the Exercise
Shares.

      THE  SECURITIES  REPRESENTED  HEREBY  HAVE NOT BEEN  REGISTERED  UNDER THE
      SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE  "SECURITIES  ACT"), OR APPLICABLE
      STATE SECURITIES  LAWS.  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD,  TRANSFERRED OR
      OTHERWISE  DISPOSED  OF  EXCEPT  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH  THE  PROVISIONS  OF
      REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION  UNDER THE

harmless the Company and its  respective  affiliates and agents from and against
any  and  all  demands,   claims,  actions  or  causes  of  action,   judgments,

fees and related  disbursements  incurred  by the  Company  that arise out of or
result from a breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
made by Holder herein,  and Holder agrees that in the event of any breach of any
representations,  warranties, covenants or agreements made by Holder herein, the
Company  may, at its option,  forthwith  rescind the issuance of this Warrant to
Holder.

      9.    Registration  Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to the rights and
subject to the obligations  set forth in the  registration  rights  contained in
Exhibit D to the SPA.

      10.   Right to Call Warrant.

            (a)   If the volume  weighted  average  Closing Price (as defined in
Section  10(b)) for the shares of Common Stock has been equal to or greater than
150% of the  Exercise  Price during 20  consecutive  Trading Days (as defined in

SEC declares  effective a registration  statement  filed by the Company with the
SEC  permitting  the public sale of all of the shares of Common  Stock  issuable
upon exercise of this  Warrant,  the Company may call all or any portion of this
Warrant.  In the event the  Company  exercises  its call  right  hereunder,  the
Company shall provide  Holder with written notice of its election to call all or
a portion of the  Warrant to the  address of Holder set forth in the  Securities
Purchase  Agreement  dated on or about the date  hereof  between the Company and
Holder.  Holder shall have 15 business days (the "Notice  Period") from the date
such notice is sent by the Company to Holder to decide  whether to exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part at the Exercise  Price in accordance  with the terms
hereof.  If this  Warrant  or any part  thereof is not so  exercised  during the
Notice  Period,  such Warrant or part  thereof  shall be forfeited by the Holder
upon the expiration of the Notice Period.  It shall be an absolute  condition to
the Company's right to call this Warrant that such registration  statement shall
be effective, with no stop-order, and with no suspensions of resales thereunder,
during the entire 20 Trading Day period described above.

            (b)   "Closing  Price"  for any day,  means:  (i) the last  reported
sales  price  regular  way of the  Common  Stock  on such  day on the  principal
securities  exchange  on which the Common  Stock is then  listed or  admitted to
trading or on Nasdaq, as applicable,  (ii) if no sale takes place on such day on
any such securities exchange or system, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices,  regular way, on such day for the Common Stock as  officially  quoted on
any such  securities  exchange  or system,  (iii) if on such day such  shares of
Common  Stock are not then  listed or  admitted  to  trading  on any  securities
exchange or system,  the last reported sale price,  regular way, on such day for
the Common  Stock in the  domestic  over-the-counter  market as  reported by the
National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any other successor organization, or
(iv) if no sale  takes  place on such day,  the  average of the high and low bid
price of the Common Stock on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as
reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated,  or any other successor
organization,  or (v) if no bid and asked  prices  are  reported  for the Common
Stock by the National  Quotation  Bureau,  Incorporated  or any other  successor
organization  for such day,  the average of the high and low bid and asked price
of any of the  market  makers  for the  Common  Stock as  reported  in the "pink
sheets" by the Pink Sheets  LLC. If at any time such shares of Common  Stock are

                                       9
<PAGE>

not  listed on any  domestic  exchange  or quoted  in the  NASDAQ  System or the
domestic  over-the-counter  market or reported in the "pink sheets," the Closing
Price  shall  be the  fair  market  value  thereof  determined  by the  Board of
Directors of the Company in good faith.

            (c)   "Trading  Day" means a day on which the  securities  exchange,
association,  or quotation system on which shares of Common Stock are listed for
trading  shall be open for  business or, if the shares of Common Stock shall not
be listed on such exchange, association, or quotation system for such day, a day
with  respect to which  trades in the United  States  domestic  over-the-counter
market shall be reported.

      11.   Notices.  All  notices or other  communications  under this  Warrant
shall  be in  writing  and  shall be  deemed  to have  been  given on the day of

      3.    Registration Procedures.

            Whenever it is obligated to register any  Restricted  Stock pursuant
to this Exhibit, the Company shall:

            (a)   prepare and file with the SEC a  Registration  Statement  with
respect to the Restricted  Stock in the manner set forth in Section 2 hereof and
use its reasonable best efforts to cause such  Registration  Statement to become
effective as promptly as possible and to remain  effective until the earlier of:
(i) the  sale of all  shares  of  Restricted  Stock  covered  thereby,  (ii) the
availability under Rule 144 for the Selling Stockholders to immediately,  freely
resell without  restriction,  all Restricted Stock covered thereby, or (iii) two
(2) years from the effective date of the first  Registration  Statement filed by
the  Company  with the SEC  pursuant  to this  Exhibit  or with  respect  to any
subsequent  Registration  Statement,  180 days from the  effective  date of such
Registration Statement;

            (b)   prepare  and  file  with the SEC  such  amendments  (including
post-effective  amendments) and supplements to such  Registration  Statement and
the  prospectus  used in  connection  therewith as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement effective for the period specified in Section 2 above and
to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the  disposition of all
Restricted Stock covered by such  Registration  Statement in accordance with the
intended method of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement for such
period;

            (c)   furnish to each Selling  Stockholder  such number of copies of

facilitate the public sale or other  disposition of the Restricted Stock covered
by such Registration Statement;

            (d)   use its  reasonable  best  efforts to  register or qualify the
Restricted  Stock  covered  by  such  Registration  Statement  under  the  state
securities  laws  of  such  jurisdictions  as  any  Selling   Stockholder  shall
reasonably request;  provided,  however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be  required  to qualify  generally  to  transact  business as a foreign
corporation  in any  jurisdiction  where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

            (e)   in the event of any underwritten  public offering,  enter into
and  perform  its  obligations  under an  underwriting  agreement,  in usual and
customary form, with the managing  underwriter(s) of such offering. In the event
the Company is a party to such an agreement,  the Selling Stockholder shall also
enter into and perform its obligations under the agreement;

            (f)   immediately notify each Selling Stockholder at any time when a
prospectus  relating  thereto is required to be delivered  under the Act, of the
happening  of any event as a result of which the  prospectus  contained  in such
Registration  Statement,  as then in effect,  includes an untrue  statement of a
material  fact or omits to state a material  fact  required or  necessary  to be
stated therein in order to make the statements  contained therein not misleading
in light of the  circumstances  under which they were made. The Company will use
reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such
prospectus  not to include any 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 not misleading in the light of the circumstances  under which
they were made;

                                       3
<PAGE>

            (g)   prepare and file with the SEC such  amendments and supplements
to such Registration  Statement and the prospectus used in connection  therewith
as may be necessary to comply with the  provisions  of the  Securities  Act with
respect  to the  disposition  of all  securities  covered  by such  Registration
Statement;

            (h)   make available for inspection by any Selling  Stockholder  and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any Selling Stockholder, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company reasonably requested by any Selling Stockholder, attorney, accountant or
agent in connection with such  Registration  Statement,  and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested
by any Selling  Stockholder,  attorney,  accountant or agent in connection  with
such Registration Statement;  provided,  however, that such Selling Stockholder,
underwriter, attorney or accountant shall agree in writing to hold in confidence
and trust all information so provided;

            (i)   use its reasonable  best efforts to list the Restricted  Stock
covered by such Registration  Statement on each exchange or automated  quotation
system on which similar  securities  issued by the Company are then listed (with
the  listing  application  being  made  at  the  time  of  the  filing  of  such
Registration Statement or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable);

            (j)   notify each  Selling  Stockholder  of any threat by the SEC or
state  securities  commission  to  undertake a stop order with  respect to sales
under the Registration Statement; and

            (k)   cooperate  in the timely  removal of any  restrictive  legends
from the shares of Restricted Stock in connection with the resale of such shares
covered by an effective Registration Statement.

      4.    Delay of Registration.

            (a)   The  Company  and the  Selling  Stockholders  agree  that  the
Selling  Stockholders  may suffer damages if the  Registration  Statement is not
filed on or prior to the date  that is 90 days  after the date the  Offering  is
completed (the "Target  Filing Date") and maintained in the manner  contemplated
herein. The Company and the Selling Stockholders further agree that it would not
be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly,
if the  Registration  Statement  is not filed on or prior to the  Target  Filing
Date,  the  Company  shall  pay in cash or in  shares  of  Common  Stock (at the
Company's option) as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty to
the Selling  Stockholders,  an amount  equal to two percent (2%) of the purchase
price for the Units set forth on the signature page to the Selling Stockholder's
Subscription  Agreement (the "Purchase Price") and an additional amount equal to
one percent  (1%) of the  Purchase  Price at the end of each  subsequent  30-day
period  during which the  Registration  Statement is not filed (the "Late Filing
Damages").  Any payments to be made to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this
Section  4(a) shall be due and payable  within  three (3)  business  days of any
demand  therefor by the Selling  Stockholders.  The parties  agree that the Late
Filing  Damages  represent the sole and exclusive  remedy,  whether at law or in

                                       4
<PAGE>

equity,  available to the Selling Stockholders if the Registration  Statement is
not filed on or prior to the Target  Filing Date.  If the Company  elects to pay
the Late Filing  Damages in shares of Common Stock,  such shares of Common Stock
shall be valued at the average  closing  price of a share of Common Stock on the
applicable  trading  market for the Common  Stock for the  5-trading-day  period
immediately preceding the date of demand of such Late Filing Damages.

            (b)   The  Company  and the  Selling  Stockholders  agree  that  the
Selling  Stockholders  may suffer damages if the  Registration  Statement is not
declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date that is 180 days after the
date the Offering is completed (the "Effectiveness  Deadline").  The Company and
the  Selling  Stockholders  further  agree  that it  would  not be  feasible  to
ascertain  the  extent  of such  damages  with  precision.  Accordingly,  if the
Registration  Statement  is not  declared  effective  by the  SEC  prior  to the
Effectiveness  Deadline,  the  Company  shall pay in cash or in shares of Common
Stock (at the Company's  option) as liquidated  damages for such failure and not
as a penalty to the Selling Stockholders, an amount equal to two percent (2%) of
the  Purchase  Price and an  additional  amount equal to one percent (1%) of the
Purchase  Price at the end of each  subsequent  30-day  period  during which the
Registration  Statement  is  not  declared  effective  (the   "Non-Effectiveness
Damages").  Payments  to be made to the  Selling  Stockholders  pursuant to this
Section  4(b) shall be due and payable  within  three (3)  business  days of any
demand  therefor  by the  Selling  Stockholders.  The  parties  agree  that  the
Non-Effectiveness  Damages represent the sole and exclusive  remedy,  whether at
law or in equity,  available  to the Selling  Stockholders  if the  Registration
Statement  is not  declared  effective  on or prior to the date that is 180 days
after the Target Filing Date. If the Company elects to pay the Non-Effectiveness
Damages in shares of Common  Stock,  such shares of Common Stock shall be valued
at the  average  closing  price of a share  of  Common  Stock on the  applicable
trading  market for the Common Stock for the  5-trading-day  period  immediately
preceding the date of demand of such Non-Effectiveness Damages.

            (c)   No Selling  Stockholder shall have any right to obtain or seek
an injunction  restraining or otherwise  delaying any such  registration  as the
result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Exhibit.

      5.    Expenses.

            (a)   For the  purposes  of this  Section 5, the term  "Registration
Expenses"  shall mean:  all expenses  incurred by the Company in complying  with
Section 2 of this Exhibit,  including,  without limitation, all registration and
filing  fees,   printing  expenses,   fees  and  disbursements  of  counsel  and
independent   public   accountants   for  the  Company,   reasonable   fees  and
disbursements  of a single special  counsel for the Selling  Stockholders,  fees
under state  securities  laws,  fees of the National  Association  of Securities
Dealers,  Inc.,  fees and expenses of listing shares of Restricted  Stock on any
securities  exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company's shares
are  listed  and fees of  transfer  agents  and  registrars.  The term  "Selling
Expenses"  shall  mean:  all  underwriting  discounts  and  selling  commissions
applicable   to  the  sale  of   Restricted   Stock  and  all   accountable   or
non-accountable expenses paid to any underwriter in respect of such sale.

                                       5

            (b)   Except as otherwise  provided herein, the Company will pay all
Registration  Expenses in  connection  with the  Registration  Statements  filed
pursuant to Section 2 of this Exhibit.  All Selling  Expenses in connection with
any Registration Statements filed pursuant to Section 2 of this Exhibit shall be
borne by the Selling  Stockholders pro rata on the basis of the number of shares
registered  by each Selling  Stockholder  whose shares of  Restricted  Stock are
covered  by such  Registration  Statement,  or by such  persons  other  than the
Company (except to the extent the Company may be a seller) as they may agree.

      6.    Obligations of the Selling Stockholders.

            (a)   In connection with each registration  hereunder,  each Selling
Stockholder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect
to it and the  securities  held by it and the  proposed  distribution  by it, as
shall be reasonably  requested by the Company in order to assure compliance with
applicable  federal  and  state  securities  laws as a  condition  precedent  to
including  the  Selling  Stockholder's  Restricted  Stock  in  the  Registration
Statement.  Each Selling  Stockholder  shall also promptly notify the Company of
any  changes in such  information  included  in the  Registration  Statement  or
prospectus as a result of which there is an untrue statement of material fact or
an omission  to state any  material  fact  required  or  necessary  to be stated
therein in order to make the  statements  contained  therein not  misleading  in
light of the circumstances under which they were made.

            (b)   In connection with the filing of the  Registration  Statement,
each  Selling   Stockholder  shall  furnish  to  the  Company  in  writing  such
information  and  affidavits  as the  Company  reasonably  requests  for  use in
connection with such Registration Statement or prospectus.

            (c)   In connection with each registration pursuant to this Exhibit,
each Selling  Stockholder agrees that it will not effect sales of any Restricted
Stock until  notified by the Company of the  effectiveness  of the  Registration
Statement,  and thereafter  will suspend such sales after receipt of telegraphic
or written  notice  from the  Company to suspend  sales to permit the Company to
correct or update a  Registration  Statement  or  prospectus.  At the end of any
period  during which the Company is obligated to keep a  Registration  Statement
current,  each Selling  Stockholder  shall discontinue sales of Restricted Stock
pursuant to such Registration  Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company
of its intention to remove from  registration  the  Restricted  Stock covered by
such Registration  Statement which remains unsold, and each Selling  Stockholder
shall notify the Company of the number of shares  registered which remain unsold
immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.

      7.    Blackouts.  If the Company has  determined  in good faith:  (i) that
filing a Registration  Statement or maintaining the  effectiveness  of a current
Registration  Statement,  or that  sales  of  Restricted  Stock  by the  Selling
Stockholder pursuant to a current Registration Statement,  would have a material
adverse  effect  on  the  Company  or  its   shareholders  in  relation  to  any
contemplated  or pending  material  financing,  acquisition  or other  corporate
transaction, and that disclosure is not in the best interests of the Company and
its  shareholders,  or (ii) that filing a Registration  Statement or maintaining
the  effectiveness  of a  current  Registration  Statement,  or  that  sales  of
Restricted Stock by the Selling Stockholder  pursuant to a current  Registration
Statement,  would require  disclosure of material  non-public  information,  the
Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of the Registration  Statement,

                                       6
<PAGE>

suspend the use by the Selling  Stockholders of the  Registration  Statement and
suspend sales of Restricted Stock pursuant to such  Registration  Statement,  as
the  case  may  be,  until  such  time  as  the  Company  notifies  the  Selling
Stockholders that such material  information has been disclosed to the public or
has ceased to be material, or that sales pursuant to such Registration Statement
may otherwise be resumed; provided,  however, that in no event shall such period
of time exceed an aggregate of 90 calendar days during any 12-month period.

      8.    Indemnification.

            (a)   The Company  agrees to indemnify,  to the extent  permitted by
law, each Selling Stockholder,  such Selling Stockholder's  respective partners,
officers and directors, any underwriters,  and each Person, if any, who controls
any Selling  Stockholder  within the meaning of the Securities Act,  against all
losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  and expenses  caused by: (i) any untrue
statement  of or alleged  untrue  statement  of material  fact  contained in the
Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto,  (ii) any omission of or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein not
misleading,  or (iii) any  violation or alleged  violation by the Company of the
Securities  Act,  the  Exchange  Act,  any state  securities  law or any rule or
regulation  promulgated  under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
securities  law in  connection  with the offering  covered by such  registration
statement  ("Violations");  provided,  however,  that  the  indemnity  agreement
contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in  settlement of
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the  Company,  which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably
withheld,  nor shall the  Company  be  liable  in for any loss,  claim,  damage,
liability  or action to the  extent  that it  arises  out of or is based  upon a
Violation  which  occurs  in  reliance  upon  and  in  conformity  with  written
information  furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by
such Selling Stockholder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling
person of such Selling Stockholder.

            (b)   To the extent permitted by law, each Selling Stockholder shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its officers and directors, any
underwriter, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act, and any other Selling  Stockholder  selling securities under
such registration statement or any of such other Selling Stockholder's partners,
directors  or  officers or any person who  controls  such  Selling  Stockholder,
against any losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which
the Company or any such director,  officer,  controlling person,  underwriter or
other such Selling  Stockholder,  or partner,  director,  officer or controlling
person  of  such  other  Selling  Stockholder,  may  become  subject  under  the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law,  insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out
of or are based upon any Violation,  in each case to the extent (and only to the
extent) that such Violation:  (i) occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information  furnished by such Selling  Stockholder  for use in connection  with
such  registration;  (ii) occurs as a result of any failure to deliver a copy of
the prospectus  relating to such  Registration  Statement,  or (iii) occurs as a
result of any  disposition  of the  Restricted  Stock in a manner  that fails to
comply  with  the  permitted  methods  of  distribution  identified  within  the
Registration Statement.

                                       7

            (c)   Any Person entitled to  indemnification  hereunder  shall: (i)
give prompt written notice to the  indemnifying  party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks  indemnification  (provided  that the  failure to give  prompt
notice shall not impair any Person's right to  indemnification  hereunder to the
extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying  party), and (ii) unless
in such indemnified  party's reasonable  judgment a conflict of interest between
such indemnified and indemnifying  parties may exist with respect to such claim,
permit such indemnifying  party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably  satisfactory to the  indemnified  party. If such defense is assumed,
the indemnifying  party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement
made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be
unreasonably  withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses  of  more  than  one  counsel  for  all  parties  indemnified  by  such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any  indemnified  party  a  conflict  of  interest  may  exist  between  such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.

            (d)   If the indemnification  provided for in this Section 8 is held
by a court of competent  jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified  party
with respect to any losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities referred to herein,
the  indemnifying   party,  in  lieu  of  indemnifying  such  indemnified  party
thereunder,  shall to the extent  permitted by applicable  law contribute to the
amount  paid or  payable  by such  indemnified  party as a result of such  loss,
claim,  damage or liability in such  proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying  party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in  connection  with the  Violation(s)  described in Sections
8(a) & (b) that resulted in such loss,  claim,  damage or liability,  as well as
any  other  relevant  equitable  considerations.   The  relative  fault  of  the
indemnifying  party and of the indemnified  party shall be determined by a court
of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to
information  supplied by the indemnifying  party or by the indemnified party and
the parties' relative intent,  knowledge,  access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such  statement or  omission;  provided,  that in no event
shall  any  contribution  by a  Selling  Stockholder  hereunder  exceed  the net
proceeds from the offering received by such Selling Stockholder.

            (e)   The  indemnification  provided  for under this  Exhibit  shall
remain in full force and effect  regardless of any  investigation  made by or on
behalf of the indemnified party or any officer,  director or controlling  Person
of such  indemnified  party and shall  survive the transfer of  securities.  The
indemnifying  party  also  agrees  to make  such  provisions  as are  reasonably
requested by any indemnified  party for  contribution to such party in the event
the indemnifying  party's  indemnification  is unavailable for any reason. In no
event shall the amount of indemnification  due from any indemnifying party under
this Article V exceed the Purchase Price.

      9.    Entire Agreement. This Exhibit contains the entire agreement between
the parties and supercede all prior agreements and understandings,  both written
and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

                                       8

      10.   Amendment  and  Modifications.  This  Exhibit  may  not be  amended,
modified or  supplemented  except by an  instrument  or  instruments  in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, modification
or supplement is sought; provided, however, that such amendment, modification or
supplement  must be approved by an agreement or consent in writing signed by the
Company and the  holders of a majority  of the number of shares of Common  Stock
issued  in the  Offering  and  outstanding  as of the  date of  such  amendment,
modification or supplement.

      11.   Successors and Assigns. This Exhibit shall be binding upon and inure
to the  benefit  of the  parties  hereto  and their  respective  successors  and
assigns,  provided,  however,  that no party  hereto  may  assign  its rights or
delegate its  obligations  under this Exhibit  without the express prior written
consent of the other party hereto. Nothing in this Exhibit is intended to confer
upon any person  not a party  hereto  (and their  successors  and  assigns)  any
rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Exhibit.

      12.   No Transfer or Assignment of Registration  Rights.  The registration
rights set forth in this Exhibit shall not be  transferable or assignable by the
Selling  Stockholder except to one or more persons or groups approved in writing
by the Company; provided,  however, that each transferee agrees in writing to be
subject  to all the  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Exhibit  and the  Selling
Stockholder's Subscription Agreement.
