                  except that if payment is made by personal check he shall not

                  denominations as are requested for delivery by the
                  Warrantholder, in the name of the Warrantholder for the
                  largest number of whole shares of Common Stock to which the
                  Warrantholder shall be entitled and, if this Warrant is
                  exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional share of Common
                  Stock to which the Warrantholder may be entitled, pay to the
                  Warrantholder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of
                  such factional share (determined in such reasonable manner as
                  the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine); and
                  (ii) deliver the other securities and properties receivable
                  upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part
                  thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the
                  provisions of this Warrant. Upon exercise in accordance with
                  Subsection 2(a) or (b), the Warrantholder shall be deemed to
                  be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable
                  upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer
                  books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
                  representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be
                  actually delivered to the Warrantholder.

         3. Representation of Warrantholder.

                  (a) By exercising this Warrant, Warrantholder understands and
                  agrees that the shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon
                  exercise of this Warrant will not be registered under the Act,
                  and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption from
                  registration afforded by Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Act;
                  and that the shares will not be registered with any state
                  securities commission or authority. Warrantholder further
                  understands that the shares to be acquired upon exercise of
                  the Warrant may not be offered or sold, unless registered or
                  exempt from registration under the Act and any applicable
                  securities or blue sky laws, and that prior to any such offer
                  or sale, the Company may require, as a condition to effecting
                  a transfer of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
                  exercise of the Warrant, an opinion of counsel acceptable to
                  the Company as to the registration or exemption therefrom
                  under the Act and any state blue sky laws. The Warrantholder
                  also understands that the Company is under no obligation to
                  register the shares on his behalf or to assist him in
                  complying with any exemption from registration.

                  (b) By exercising this Warrant, Warrantholder acknowledges
                  that he has, either alone and/or through his agents, been
                  afforded access to all material information concerning the
                  Company and has received responses to all questions
                  specifically posed to the Company relevant to

                                        2

<PAGE>

                  the issuance of the Warrants to the Warrantholder. Without
                  limiting the foregoing, Warrantholder, upon exercise of this
                  Warrant, hereby represents that he has alone and/or through
                  his agents, had adequate opportunity to ask questions of and
                  receive answers from, responsible officers and/or directors of
                  the Company and to conduct any other investigation he deems
                  necessary and appropriate concerning the issuance of the
                  Warrant. Except as set forth herein, the Company has made no
                  representations or warranties to Warrantholder which have
                  induced, persuaded or stimulated Warrantholder to exercise the
                  Warrant.

                  (c) By exercising this Warrant, Warrantholder acknowledges
                  that the Company will be relying upon the representations made
                  herein in issuing the shares of Common Stock, upon exercise of
                  the Warrant, without registration.

         4. Exchange, Transfer, Assignment or Loss of Warrants

                  The Warrants are exchangeable, without expense, at the option
of the Warrantholder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or
at the office of its stock transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer ("HST") for
other Warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to
purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder. Upon surrender of these Warrants to the Company or at the office of
HST, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient
to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver
new Warrants in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant may be divided or
combined with other Warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation
hereof, at the office of the Company or at the office of HST, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued and signed by the Warrantholder hereof. The term "Warrant" and /or
"Warrants" as used herein includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be
divided or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrants, and (in the case
of loss, theft, or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and
upon surrender and cancellation of these Warrants, if mutilated, the Company
will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor.

         5. Restrictions.

         6. Adjustments to Exercise Price.

                  The price per share at which shares Common Stock may be
purchased hereunder, and the number of such shares to be purchased upon exercise
hereof, are subject to change or adjustment as follows:

                  (a) In case the Company shall, while this Warrant remains
                  unexercised, in whole or in part, and in force, effect a
                  recapitalization of such character that the shares of Common
                  Stock purchasable hereunder shall be changed into or become
                  exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then,
                  after the date of record for effecting such recapitalization,
                  the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder hereof
                  shall be entitled to purchase hereunder shall be increased or
                  decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the
                  increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
                  by reason of such recapitalization, and the purchase price
                  hereunder per share of such recapitalized Common Stock shall,
                  in the case of an increase in the number of such shares, be
                  proportionately reduced, and in the case of a decrease in the
                  number of such shares, shall be proportionately increased. For
                  the purpose of this subsection (a), a stock dividend, stock
                  split-up or reverse split shall be considered as a
                  recapitalization and as an exchange for a larger or smaller
                  number of shares, as the case may be.

                  (b) In the case of any consolidation of the Company with, or
                  merger of the Company into, any other corporation, or in case
                  of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the
                  assets of the Company in connection with a plan of complete
                  liquidation of the Company, then, as a condition of such
                  consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate
                  provisions shall be made whereby the holder hereof shall
                  thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the
                  basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this
                  Warrant and in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately
                  theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of
                  the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock or
                  securities as may be issued in connection with such
                  consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance with respect to or
                  in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of Common
                  Stock immediately therefore purchasable and receivable upon
                  the exercise of the rights represented hereby had such
                  consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place,
                  and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with
                  respect to the rights and interests of the holder of this
                  Warrant to the

                                        4

<PAGE>

                  end that the provisions hereof shall be applicable as nearly
                  as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities
                  thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.

                  (c) In case the Company shall, while this Warrant remains
                  unexercised in whole or in part, and in force, offer to the
                  holders of Common Stock any rights to subscribe for additional
                  shares of stock of the Company, then the Company shall given
                  written notice thereof to the registered holder hereof not
                  less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the
                  books of the Company are closed or a record date fixed for the
                  determination of shareholders entitled to such subscription
                  rights. Such notice shall specify the date as to which the
                  books shall be closed or the record date fixed with respect to
                  such offer or subscription, and the right of the holder hereof
                  to participate in such offer or subscription shall terminate
                  if this Warrant shall not be exercised on or before the date
                  of such closing of the books or such record date.

                  (d) Any adjustment pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall
                  be made on the basis of the number of shares of Common stock
                  which the holder hereof would have been entitled to acquire by
                  exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the event giving
                  rise to such adjustment and, as to the purchase price
                  hereunder per share, whether or not in effect immediately
                  prior to the time of such adjustment, on the basis of such
                  purchase price immediately prior to the event giving rise to
                  such adjustment. Whenever any such adjustment is required to
                  be made, the Company shall forthwith determine the new number
                  of shares of Common Stock which the holder shall be entitled
                  to purchase hereunder and/or such new purchase price per
                  share, and shall prepare, retain on file and transmit to the
                  holder hereof within ten (10) days after such preparation a
                  statement describing in reasonable detail the method used in
                  calculating such adjustment(s).

                  (e) For the purposes of this Section 6, the term "Common
                  Stock" shall include all shares of capital stock authorized by
                  the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as from time to
                  time amended, which are not limited to a fixed sum or
                  percentage of par value in respect of the right of the holders
                  thereof to participate in dividends or in the distribution of
                  assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
                  dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

                  other automated quotation system other than the National
                  Market System or if no such sale is made on such day, the
                  current value shall be the average of the closing bid and
                  asked prices for such day on such exchange or system; or

                  (b) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to
                  unlisted trading privileges, the current value shall be the

                  shall be an amount, not less than book value, determined in
                  such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of
                  Directors of the Company.
