[IF WARRANTS ARE ATTACHED TO OTHER SECURITIES, INSERT --

          WHEREAS, the Warrants will be offered in Units, each of which consists
of _______________________ and Warrants to purchase _________ Shares; and]

          WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the
issuance, registration, transfer, exchange and exercise of Warrants to be issued
from time to time by the Company,

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          Section 1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints
the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the
instructions hereinafter in this Agreement set forth, and the Warrant Agent
hereby accepts such appointment.

          Section 2. Form of Warrant. The text of the Warrants and the form of
election to purchase Shares to be set forth on the reverse thereof shall be
substantially as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Each Warrant shall,
subject to the terms of this Warrant Agreement, entitle the registered holder
thereof to initially purchase the number of Shares specified therein at an
initial exercise price of $______ per Share; provided, however, that the warrant
exercise price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants are
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, all as hereinafter
provided. The Warrants shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual
or facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman of the Board,
President or Vice President of the Company, under its seal, affixed or in
facsimile, and by the manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.

          The Company shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent from time to time
in writing of the number of Warrants to be issued and furnish written
instructions in connection therewith signed by an executive officer of the
Company; such notification and instructions may, but need not be, in the form of
a general or continuing authorization to the Warrant Agent.

          The Warrants shall be dated by the Warrant Agent as of the date of
each initial issuance, and as of the date of issuance thereof upon any transfer
or exchange thereof.

          Section 3. Countersignature and Registration. The Warrant Agent shall
maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrants. Upon the
initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the
Warrants in the names of the respective registered holders thereof. The Warrants
shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent (or by any successor to the Warrant
Agent then acting as warrant agent under this Agreement) and shall not be valid
for any purpose unless so countersigned. Such Warrants may be so countersigned,
however, by the Warrant Agent (or by its successor as warrant agent) and be
delivered by the Warrant Agent, notwithstanding that the persons whose manual or
facsimile signatures appear thereon as proper officers of the Company shall have
ceased to be such officers at the time of such countersignature or delivery.
Upon issuance of any Warrant, the Company will present the same, or cause the
same to be presented, to the Warrant Agent for countersignature of such Warrant.

          Section 4. Transfers and Exchanges. The Warrant Agent shall transfer,
from time to

                                       1
<PAGE>

time, any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant
Agent for that purpose, upon the surrender thereof for transfer properly
endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such
transfer, a new Warrant of like tenor shall be issued to the transferee and the
surrendered Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. All such Warrants
so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to
time. The Warrants may be exchanged at the option of the holder thereof, when
surrendered at the office in ____________________________________ of the Warrant
Agent, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of
like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number
of Shares. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to countersign and
deliver, in accordance with the provisions of this Section and Section 3 of this
Agreement, such new Warrants required pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply
the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such
purpose.

[IF THE WARRANTS ARE ATTACHED TO OTHER SECURITIES, INSERT --

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, until __________________, the Warrants
shall not be transferable apart from the _____________ to which they are
attached, any transfer of the _____________ shall be deemed a transfer of the
Warrants attached thereto, and any attempt to transfer the Warrants apart from
the ___________________ shall be void and of no effect.
Each Warrant shall contain a legend to the foregoing effect.]

          Section 5. Exercise of Warrants. The registered holder of each Warrant
shall have the right, which may be exercised as in such Warrant expressed, to
purchase from the Company (and the Company shall issue and sell to such
registered holder) the number of Shares specified in such Warrants, upon
surrender to the Company, at the office in _____________________________ of the
Warrant Agent of such Warrant, with the form of election to purchase on the
reverse thereof duly filled in and signed, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent
for the account of the Company of the warrant exercise price, determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement, for the number of
Shares in respect of which such Warrant is then exercised. Payment of such
warrant exercise price may be made in cash, or by certified check or bank draft
or postal or express money order, payable in United States dollars, to the order
of the Warrant Agent. No adjustment shall be made for any dividends on any
Shares issuable upon exercise of any Warrant. Subject to Section 6, upon such
surrender of Warrants, and payment of the warrant exercise price as aforesaid,
the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch
to or upon the written order of the registered holder of such Warrants, and in
such name or names as such registered holder may designate, a certificate or
certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of
such Warrants, together with cash, as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement,
in respect of any fraction of a Share otherwise issuable upon such surrender.
Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any
person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder
of record of such Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and
payment of the warrant exercise price as aforesaid; provided, however, that if,
at the date of surrender of such Warrants and payment of such warrant exercise
price, the transfer books for the Shares purchasable upon the exercise of such
Warrants shall be closed, no such surrender of such Warrants and no such payment
of such warrant exercise price shall be effective to constitute the person so
designated to be named therein as the holder of record of such Shares on such
date, but shall be effective to constitute such person as the holder of record
of such Shares for all purposes at the opening of business on the next
succeeding day on which the transfer books for the Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of such Warrants shall be opened, and the certificates for the Shares
in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the
date on which such books shall next be opened, and until such date the Company
shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Shares. The rights of
purchase represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of
the registered holders thereof, either as an entirety or from time to time for
part only of the Shares specified therein and, in the event that any Warrant is
exercised in respect of less than all of the Shares specified therein at any
time prior to the date of expiration of the Warrants, a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor will be issued for the remaining number of Shares specified in the
Warrant so surrendered, and the Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized
to countersign and to deliver the required new Warrants pursuant to the
provisions of this Section and of Section 3 of this Agreement, and the Company,
whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with
Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

          Section 6. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary
stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Shares issuable upon the
exercise of Warrants; 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 or delivery of any certificates for Shares in a name other than
that of the registered holder of Warrants in respect of which such Shares are
issued and the Company shall not be required to issue and deliver the
certificates for such

                                       2
<PAGE>

Shares unless and until the holder has paid to the Company the amount of any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or
shall establish to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

          Section 7. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case any of the Warrants
shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company will issue and the
Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver in exchange and substitution for and
upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for
the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and
representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or
destruction of such Warrants and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to
them. Applicants for such substitute Warrants shall also comply with such other
reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or
the Warrant Agent may prescribe. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an
original contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the allegedly
lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone.

          Section 8. Reservation of Shares, etc. Prior to the issuance of any
Warrants there shall have been reserved, and the Company shall at all times
through the expiration date keep reserved, out of its authorized and unissued
Common Stock, a number of Shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the
rights of purchase represented by the Warrants, and the Transfer Agent for the
Shares and every subsequent Transfer Agent for the Shares issuable upon the
exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid are hereby irrevocably
authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized and
unissued Shares as shall be requisite for such purpose. The Company will keep a
copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent for the Shares and with
every subsequent Transfer Agent for the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the
rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent
certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants that have been exercised.
The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for
such purpose and will itself provide or otherwise make available any cash which
may be issuable as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement. All Warrants
surrendered in the exercise of the rights thereby evidenced or surrendered for
transfer, exchange or partial exercise shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent
and shall thereafter be delivered to the Company.

          Section 9. Warrant Price; Adjustments.

          A. The warrant price per share at which Shares shall be purchasable
upon exercise of Warrants (herein called the "warrant exercise price") to and
including the expiration date (unless the expiration date is extended as
provided below in this Section 9A) shall be $______ per share, or, if adjusted
as provided in this Section, shall be such price as so adjusted. The Warrants
will not be exercisable prior to [the close of business on the date of any
initial issuance thereof] [_____________________] and will expire at 3:30 p.m.,
New York City time, on the expiration date; provided that the Company reserves
the right to, and may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to
time, at such time or times as the Company so determines, extend the expiration
date of the Warrants for such periods of time as it chooses; further provided
that in no case may the expiration date of the Warrants (as extended) be
extended beyond five years from the expiration date set forth above. Whenever
the expiration date of the Warrants is so extended, the Company shall at least
20 days prior to the then expiration date cause to be mailed to the Warrant
Agent and the registered holders of the Warrants in accordance with the
provisions of Section 17 hereof a notice stating that the expiration date has
been extended and setting forth the new expiration date.

          B. The above provision is, however, subject to the following:

             (1) The warrant purchase price, the number of Shares purchasable
     upon exercise of each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding shall
     be subject to adjustment as follows:

                    (a) In case the Company shall at any time after the date of
                 this Agreement (i) pay a dividend, or make a distribution, on
                 the Common Stock which is payable in shares of its capital
                 stock (whether shares of Common Stock or of capital stock of
                 any other class), (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding
                 shares of Common Stock into a greater number of securities
                 (including shares of Common Stock), or (iii) combine or
                 reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
                 smaller number of shares (including shares of Common Stock),
                 the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant
                 immediately prior to the occurrence of such event shall be
                 adjusted so that the holder of each Warrant shall be entitled
                 to receive upon

                                       3
<PAGE>

              payment of the warrant purchase price the aggregate number of
              shares of the Company which, if such Warrant had been exercised
              immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, such holder
              would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately
              after the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant
              to this subparagraph (a) shall become effective immediately after
              the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become
              effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
              subdivision or combination. If, as a result of an adjustment made
              pursuant to this subparagraph (a), the holder of any Warrant
              thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive shares of
              two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board of
              Directors of the Company (whose determination shall be
              conclusive) shall determine the allocation between or among
              shares of such classes of capital stock.

                     In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment
               made pursuant to this subparagraph (a), the holder of any Warrant
               thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares
               or other securities of the Company other than shares of Common
               Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so received
               upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
               time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
               practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares of
               Common Stock contained in this paragraph, and other provisions of
               this paragraph 9B(1) with respect to the shares of Common Stock
               shall apply on like terms to any such other shares or other
               securities.

                     [(b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the
               issuance of rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock
               entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such
               record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price
               per share less than the current market price per share of Common
               Stock (as defined in subparagraph (e) below) at such record date,
               the warrant purchase price shall be determined by multiplying the
               warrant purchase price in effect immediately prior to such record
               date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
               Shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the
               number of Shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering
               price of the total number of Shares so offered would purchase at
               such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be
               the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record
               date plus the number of additional Shares of Common Stock offered
               for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be made
               successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and shall
               become effective immediately after such record date. In
               determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to
               subscribe for or purchase Shares of Common Stock at less than
               such current market price, and in determining the aggregate
               offering price of such shares, there shall be taken into account
               any consideration received by the Company for such rights or
               warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to
               be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Common
               Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any
               majority owned subsidiary shall not be deemed outstanding for the
               purpose of any adjustment required under this subparagraph (b).]

                     [(c) In case the Company shall fix a record date for making
               a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock of evidences of
               its indebtedness or assets (excluding regular quarterly or other
               periodic or recurring cash dividends or distributions and cash
               dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings or
               referred to in subparagraph (a) above) or rights or warrants to
               subscribe or warrants to purchase (excluding those referred to in
               subparagraph (b) above), then in each such case the warrant
               purchase price shall be determined by multiplying the warrant
               purchase price in effect immediately prior to such record date by
               a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be such current

                                       4

<PAGE>

               market price (as defined in subparagraph (e) below) per Share of
               Common Stock on such record date, less the then fair market value
               (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
               determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the assets
               or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such
               subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of the
               Common Stock and (y) the denominator of which shall be the
               current market price per share of the Common Stock on such record
               date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a
               record date is fixed and shall become effective immediately after
               such record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
               that the Company shall distribute any rights or warrants to
               acquire capital stock ("Rights") pursuant to this subparagraph
               (c), the distribution of separate certificates representing such
               Rights subsequent to their initial distribution (whether or not
               such distribution shall have occurred prior to the date of the
               issuance of such Warrants) shall be deemed to be the distribution
               of such Rights for purposes of this subparagraph (c), provided
               that the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant
               to this subparagraph (c) upon a distribution of separate
               certificates representing such Rights, make proper provision so
               that each holder of such Warrants who exercises such Warrants (or
               any portion thereof) (A) before the record date for such
               distribution of separate certificates shall be entitled to
               receive upon such exercise shares of Common Stock issued with
               Rights and (B) after such record date and prior to the
               expiration, redemption or termination of such Rights shall be
               entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the shares
               of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, the same number of
               such Rights as would a holder of the number of shares of Common
               Stock that such Warrants so exercised would have entitled the
               holder thereof to purchase in accordance with the terms and
               provisions of and applicable to the Rights if such Warrants were
               exercised immediately prior to the record date for such
               distribution. Common Stock owned by or held for the account of
               the Company or any majority owned subsidiary shall not be deemed
               outstanding for the purpose of any adjustment required under this
               subparagraph (c).]

                         (d) After each adjustment of the number of shares
                 purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant pursuant to
                 subparagraph 9B(1)(a), the warrant exercise price shall be
                 adjusted by multiplying such warrant exercise price immediately
                 prior to such adjustment by a fraction of which the numerator
                 shall be the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of each
                 Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the
                 denominator of which shall be the number of Shares so
                 purchasable immediately thereafter. [After each adjustment of
                 the warrant exercise price pursuant to subparagraph 9B(1)(b) or
                 (c), the total number of Shares or fractional part thereof
                 purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be
                 proportionately adjusted to such number of shares or fractional
                 parts thereof as the aggregate warrant exercise price of the
                 number of shares or fractional part thereof purchasable
                 immediately prior to such adjustment will buy at the adjusted
                 warrant exercise price.]

                                [(e) For the purpose of any computation under
                 subparagraphs 9B(1)(b) and (c) above, the current market price
                 per Share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the
                 average of the daily closing prices for the 30 consecutive
                 business days commencing 45 business days before the day in
                 question. The closing price for each day shall be (i) if the
                 Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on the New York
                 Stock Exchange, the last sale price (regular way), or the
                 average of the closing bid and ask prices (regular way), if no
                 sale occurred, of Common Stock, in either case as reported on
                 the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or, if the Common
                 Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York
                 Stock Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange
                 on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or,
                 if not listed or

                 Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System ("NASDAQ")
                 or, (ii) if not listed or quoted as described in (i), the mean
                 between the closing high bid and low asked quotations of Common
                 Stock reported by NASDAQ, or any similar system for automated
                 dissemination of quotations of securities prices then in common
                 use, if so quoted, or (iii) if not quoted as described in
                 clause (ii), the mean between the high bid and low asked
                 quotations for Common Stock as reported by the National
                 Quotation Bureau Incorporated if at least two securities
                 dealers have inserted both bid and asked quotations for Common
                 Stock on at least 5 of the 10 preceding days. If none of the
                 conditions set forth above is met, the closing price of Common
                 Stock on any day or the average of such closing prices for any
                 period shall be the fair market value of Common Stock as
                 determined by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange
                 selected by the Company.]

                                (f) (A) Nothing contained herein shall be
                 construed to require an adjustment as a result of the issuance
                 of Common Stock pursuant to, or the granting or exercise of any
                 rights under, the Company's [List employee and shareholder
                 plans, if any, that might otherwise result in adjustments].

                                         (B) In addition, no adjustment in the
                 warrant exercise price shall be required unless and until
                 the earlier of the following shall have occurred: (x) such
                 adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least
                 1% in the warrant exercise price or (y) a period of 3 years
                 shall have elapsed from the date of the occurrence of any
                 event requiring any such adjustment pursuant to
                 subparagraphs 9B(1)(a)[, (b) or (c)] above. All adjustments
                 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth of a Share and
                 the nearest cent, and any adjustments which by reason of
                 this subparagraph (f) are not required to be made shall be
                 carried forward cumulatively and taken into account in any
                 subsequent adjustment which (including such carry-forward)
                 is required to be made under this subparagraph (f).

                                (g) In any case in which this subparagraph 9B(1)
            shall require that an adjustment be made retroactively immediately
            following a record date, the Company may elect to defer (but only
            until five business days following the mailing of the notice
            described in subparagraph 9B(5) below) issuing to the holder of any
            Warrant exercised after such record date the Shares of the Company
            issuable upon such exercise over and above the Shares issuable upon
            such exercise only on the basis of the warrant exercise price prior
            to adjustment.

                                (h) The Company may, at its option, at any time
            until the expiration date, reduce the then current warrant exercise
            price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of
            the Company for any period not exceeding twenty (20) consecutive
            days (as evidenced in a resolution adopted by such Board of
            Directors), but only upon giving the notices required by
            subparagraph 9(B)(5) twenty (20) days prior to taking such action.

                                (i) Except as herein otherwise expressly
            provided, no adjustment in the warrant exercise price shall be made
            by reason of the issuance of Shares, or securities convertible into
            or exchangeable for Shares, or securities carrying the right to
            purchase any of the foregoing or for any other reason whatsoever.

                                (j) Irrespective of any of the adjustments in
            the warrant exercise price or the number of Shares, Warrant
            Certificates theretofore issued may continue to express the same
            prices and number of shares as are stated in a similar Warrant
            Certificate issuable initially, or at some subsequent time, pursuant
            to this Agreement and such number of Shares specified therein shall
            be deemed to have been so adjusted.

             (2) No fractional Shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the
       exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be exercised at one
       time by the same holder, the number of full Shares which shall be
       issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the

                                       6
<PAGE>

     basis of the aggregate number of Shares purchased pursuant to the Warrants
     so exercised. Instead of any fractional Share of Common Stock which would
     otherwise be issuable upon exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall pay a
     cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same
     fraction of the last sales price (or bid price if there were no sales) per
     Share of Common Stock, in either case as reported on the New York Stock
     Exchange Composite Tape on the business day which next precedes the day of
     exercise or, if the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading
     on the New York Stock Exchange, an amount equal to the same fraction of the
     market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in a manner described
     by the Board of Directors of the Company) at the close of business on the
     business day which next precedes the day of exercise.

          (3) In case any of the following shall occur while any Warrants are
     outstanding: (a) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares
     of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no
     par value, or from no par value to par value); or (b) any consolidation or
     merger to which the Company is a party (other than a consolidation or a
     merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does
     not result in any reclassification of, or change in, the outstanding shares
     of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants); or (c) any sale or
     conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an
     entirety or substantially as an entirety; then the Company, or such
     successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall make
     appropriate provision by amendment of this Agreement or otherwise so that
     the holders of the Warrants then outstanding shall have the right at any
     time thereafter, upon exercise of such Warrants, to purchase the kind and
     amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon
     such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as
     would be received by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
     issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
     reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Such
     provision shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent
     as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 9.
     The above provisions of this subparagraph 9B(3) shall similarly apply to
     successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales or
     conveyances.

          (4) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
     decreasing the warrant exercise price so that the warrant exercise price is
     below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock, the Company will
     take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
     necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
     paid and nonassessable Shares of Common Stock at the warrant exercise price
     as so adjusted.

          (5) Whenever the warrant exercise price then in effect is adjusted as
     herein provided, the Company shall mail to each holder of the Warrants at
     such holder's address as it shall appear on the books of the Company a
     statement setting forth the adjusted warrant exercise price then and
     thereafter effective under the provisions hereof, together with the facts,
       in reasonable detail, upon which such adjustment is based.

          (6) In case (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
     distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its
     current or retained earnings, or (ii) the Company shall authorize the
     granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or
     purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights,
     or (iii) there is to be any reclassification of the Common Stock of the
     Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares
     of Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
     party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is
     required, or (iv) any distribution is to be made on or in respect of the
     Common Stock in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or winding up
     of the Company, then the Company shall mail to each holder of Warrants at
     such holder's address as it shall appear on the books of the Company, at
     least twenty days (or ten days in any case specified in clause (i) or (ii)
     above) prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice
     stating (x) the record date for such dividend,

                                       7
<PAGE>

     distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of
     which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
     dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on
     which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
     liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as
     of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be
     entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
     property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
     dissolution, liquidation or winding up. No failure to mail such notice nor
     any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect any such
     transaction or any adjustment in the warrant exercise price required by
     this Section 9.

          Section 10. Notice to Warrantholders. Nothing contained in this
Agreement or in any of the Warrants shall be construed as conferring upon the
holders thereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as
shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of
directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as
shareholders of the Company.

          Section 11. Certain Covenants of the Company.

          A. So long as any unexpired Warrants remain outstanding and if
required in order to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), the Company covenants and agrees that it will file such post-effective
amendments to the registration statement filed pursuant to the Act with respect
to the Warrants (File No. 333-_____) (or such other registration statements or
post-effective amendments or supplements) as may be necessary to permit the
Company to deliver to each person exercising a Warrant a prospectus meeting the
requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and otherwise complying therewith,
and will deliver such a prospectus to each such person. The Company further
covenants and agrees that it will obtain and keep effective all permits,
consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities, and will use
its best efforts to take all action which may be necessary to qualify the Shares
for sale under the securities laws of such of the United States, as may be
necessary to permit the free exercise of the Warrants, and the issuance, sale,
transfer and delivery of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, and to
maintain such qualifications during the entire period in which the Warrants are
exercisable.

          B. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall take all such action
as may be necessary to ensure that all Shares will at the time of delivery of
certificates for such Shares (subject to payment of the warrant exercise price)
be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable
Shares, free from any preemptive rights and taxes, liens, charges and security
interests created by or imposed upon the Company.

          C. The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all action which
may be necessary to cause the Shares to be duly listed on the New York Stock
Exchange or any securities exchange on which the other shares of Common Stock of
the Company are listed or on the National Market System of NASDAQ at the dates
of exercise of the Warrants.

          Section 12. Disposition of Proceeds, etc.

          A. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with
respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the Company all moneys
received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of Shares through the exercise of
such Warrants.

          B.   The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement available
for inspection by holders of Warrants during normal business hours at its
principal office in the City of __________, __________.

          Section 13. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant
Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the
successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that
such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent
under the provisions of Section 15 of this Agreement. In case at the time such
successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this
Agreement, and if any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not
delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the
countersignature of the original Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrants so
countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrants shall not have been
countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may

                                       8
<PAGE>

countersign such Warrants either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or
in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant
shall have the full force provided in the Warrants and in this Agreement.

          In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and
at such time any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not
delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name
and deliver Warrants so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the
Warrants shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign
such Warrants either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such
cases such Warrants shall have the full force provided in the Warrants and in
this Agreement.

          Section 14. Duties of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the
duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and
conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Warrants, by their
acceptance thereof, shall be bound:

          A. The statements contained herein and in the Warrants shall be taken
as statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of any of the same except such as describe the Warrant Agent
or action taken or to be taken by it. The Warrant Agent assumes no
responsibility with respect to the distribution of the Warrants except as herein
otherwise provided.

          B. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the
Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in
the Warrants to be complied with by the Company.

          C. The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or
through its attorneys, agents or employees, and the Warrant Agent shall not be
answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any
such attorneys, agents or employees or for any loss to the Company resulting
from such neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care shall have been
exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof.

          D. The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory
to it (who may be counsel for the Company), and the Warrant Agent shall incur no
liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel.

          E. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the
Company or to any holder of any Warrant for any action taken in reliance on any
notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper,
document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or presented by the proper party or parties.

          F. The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent agreed upon
compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the execution of
this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and
governmental charges and other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the
Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement and to indemnify the Warrant
Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments,
costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant
Agent in the execution of this Agreement except as a result of the Warrant
Agent's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

          G. The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any
action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve
expense unless the Company or one or more registered holders of Warrants shall
furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs
and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the
power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider
proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of
action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the
Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or the production
thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action,
suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name
as Warrant Agent, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit
of the registered holders of the Warrants, as their respective rights or
interests may appear.

          H. The Warrant Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or
employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or
other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any
transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend
money to or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not

                                       9
<PAGE>

Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant
Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal
entity.

          I. The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent and not in a
ministerial capacity, and its duties shall be determined solely by the
provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything which it
may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement except for its
own gross negligence or bad faith.

          Section 15. Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and
be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to the Company
notice in writing, and to the holders of the Warrants notice by publication, of
such resignation, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect,
which notice shall be published at the expense of the Company at least once a
week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the City
of New York prior to the date so specified. The Warrant Agent may be removed by
the Company by like notice from the Company to the Warrant Agent and the holders
of Warrants at the expense of the Company. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or
be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall
appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such
appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been
notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Warrant Agent or by the registered holder of a Warrant (who shall,
with such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the Company), then, at
the expense of the Company, the Warrant Agent or the registered holder of any
Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor to the Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed
by the Company or by such a court, shall be a bank or trust company, in good
standing, incorporated under the laws of any State or of the United States of
America, having at the time of its appointment as Warrant Agent a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. After appointment the successor
Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and
responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without
further act or deed; but the former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to
the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and
execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for
the purpose. Failure to file or publish any notice provided for in this Section,
however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the
resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor
Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

          Section 16. Identity of Transfer Agent. Forthwith upon the appointment
of any Transfer Agent for the Shares or of any subsequent Transfer Agent for
Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the
Warrants, the Company will file with the Warrant Agent a statement setting forth
the name and address of such Transfer Agent.

          Section 17. Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement to be given
or made by the Warrant Agent or by the registered holder of any Warrant to or on
the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is filed in writing by the
Company with the Warrant Agent) as follows:

                  Attention: Corporate Secretary

Any notice pursuant to this Agreement to be given or made by the Company or by

                  _______________________________
                  _______________________________

          Any notice pursuant to this Agreement to be given or made by the
Company or the Warrant Agent to the registered holder of any Warrant shall be
sufficiently given or made (unless otherwise specifically provided for herein)
if sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to said registered
holder at his address appearing on the Warrant register.

          Section 18. Supplements and Amendments. The parties hereto may from
time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any
holders of Warrants in order to

                                       10
<PAGE>

cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein
which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to
make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder
which the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and
which will not materially adversely affect the interest of the registered
holders of the Warrants. The parties hereto may also modify or amend this
Agreement and the terms of the Warrants with the consent of the holders of not
less than a majority in number of the then outstanding unexercised Warrants
affected thereby; provided that no such modification or amendment that
accelerates the expiration date, increases the exercise price, reduces the
number of outstanding Warrants the consent of the holders of which is required
for any such modification or amendment, or otherwise materially adversely
affects the rights of the holders of the Warrants, may be made without the
consent of each holder affected thereby.

          Section 19. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this
Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind
and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

          Section 20. Law Governing Contract. This Agreement and each Warrant
issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the
State of Minnesota and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of said State.

          Section 21. Benefits of This Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Company and
the Warrant Agent and the holders of Warrants any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrant Agent and the holders of
Warrants.

          Section 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed
to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument.

[IF THE WARRANTS ARE SUBJECT TO ACCELERATION BY THE COMPANY, INSERT --

          Section 23. Acceleration of Warrants by the Company.

          A. At any time on or after __________________, the Company shall have
the right to accelerate any or all Warrants at any time by causing them to
expire at the close of business on the day next preceding a specified date (the
"Acceleration Date"), if the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Common
Stock equals or exceeds ______ percent (___%) of the then effective warrant
exercise price, adjusted as if no changes in such warrant exercise price had
been made pursuant to subsection 9B, on any 20 Trading Days (as hereinafter
defined) within a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending no more than five
Trading Days prior to the date on which the Company gives notice to the Warrant
Agent of its election to accelerate the Warrants.

          B. "Market Price" for each Trading Day shall be, if the Common Stock
is listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the last
reported sale price, regular way (or, if no such price is reported, the average
of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way) of Common Stock, in
either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or, if the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock
Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading
on any national securities exchange, on the National Market System of NASDAQ or,
if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or
quoted on the National Market System of NASDAQ, the average of the closing high
bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by NASDAQ,
or such other system then in use, or if on any such date the Shares of Common
Stock are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid
and asked prices as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange firm selected from
time to time by the Company for the purpose. "Trading Day" shall be each Monday
through Friday, other than any day on which securities are not traded in the
system or on the exchange that is the principal market for the Common Stock, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

          C. In the event of an acceleration of less than all of the Warrants,
