reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon

                  5.  Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue
                      --------------------

                            --------------------
Excercise Price is required pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder shall be
entitled to purchase such number of additional shares of Common Stock as will
cause (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled to
purchase pursuant to this Warrant, multiplied by (ii) the adjusted purchase
price per share, to equal (iii) the dollar amount of the total number of shares
of Common Stock Holder is entitled to purchase before adjustment multiplied by
the total purchase price before adjustment.

                      6.2   Capital Adjustments. In case of any stock split or
                            -------------------
reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock,
recapitalization, merger or consolidation, or like capital adjustment affecting
the Common Stock of the Company, the provisions of this Section 6 shall be
applied as if such capital adjustment event had occurred immediately prior to
the date of this Warrant and the original purchase price had been fairly
allocated to the stock resulting from such capital adjustment; and in other
respects the provisions of this Section shall be applied in a fair, equitable
and reasonable manner so as to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes
hereof. A rights offering to stockholders shall be deemed a stock dividend to
the extent of the bargain purchase element of the rights.

applicable decree, judgment, or order of any court, United States federal or
state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties or assets, or (iv) the
Company's listing agreement for its Common Stock, except such conflict, breach
or default which would not have a material adverse effect on the transactions
contemplated herein.

                  e. Approvals. No authorization, approval or consent of any
court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, or
stock exchange or market or the stockholders of the Company is required to be
obtained by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Buyer

authorized shares of Company.

                  f. SEC Filings. None of the Company's SEC Documents contained,
at the time they were filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements made therein in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

                  g. Absence of Certain Changes. Since September 30, 1999, there
has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the
business, properties, operations, financial condition, or results of operations
of the Company, except as disclosed in the documents referred to the Company's
SEC Documents.

                  h. Full Disclosure. There is no fact known to the Company
(other than general economic conditions known to the public generally, and other
than facts disclosed in the Company's SEC Documents) that has not been disclosed
in writing to the Buyer that (i) would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business
affairs, properties or assets of the Company or (ii) would reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to
perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or the other agreements and
instruments contemplated hereby (collectively, including this Agreement, the
"Transaction Agreements").

                  i. Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth in the Company's
SEC Documents, which the Buyer has reviewed, there is no action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or
body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, wherein
an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a material adverse effect
on the properties, business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of
operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or
the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Agreements or which
would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or
ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, any of the Transaction
Agreements

                  j. Absence of Events of Default. No Event of Default (or its
equivalent term), as defined in the respective agreement to which the Company is
a party, and no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or
both, would become an Event of Default (or its equivalent term) (as so defined
in such agreement), has occurred and is continuing, which would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

                  k. No Default. The Company is not in default in the
performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or
condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material
instrument or agreement to which it is a party or by which it or its property is
bound.

                  4. CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

                  a. Transfer Restrictions. The Buyer acknowledges that (1) the
Securities have not been and are not being registered under the provisions of
the 1933 Act, and may not be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered
thereunder or (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to
the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; (2) any sale of the
Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act may be
made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is
not applicable, any resale of such Securities under circumstances in which the
seller, or the person through whom the sale is made, may be deemed to be an
underwriter, as that term is used in the 1933 Act, may require compliance with
some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC
thereunder; and (3) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register the Securities (other than pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, attached hereto as ANNEX I and incorporated herein) under the
1933 Act or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

                  b. Restrictive Legend. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that
the Common Stock has not been registered under the 1933 Act and shall bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of the Common Stock):

                  THESE SECURITIES (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
                  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
                  ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD
                  OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
                  REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF
                  COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT
                  SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                  c. Filings. The Company undertakes and agrees to make all
necessary filings in connection with the sale of the Common Stock to the Buyer
under any United States federal, state and local laws and regulations, or by any
domestic securities exchange or trading market, and to provide a copy thereof to
the Buyer promptly after such filing.

                  d. Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds from the
sale of the Common Stock (excluding amounts paid by the Company for legal fees)
for repayment of debts and internal working capital purposes.

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  e. Registration Rights. In accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions of that certain Registration Rights Agreement attached
hereto as ANNEX I, and incorporated herein by this reference, within sixty (60)
days of the Closing Date the Company shall cause to be prepared and filed with
the SEC a Registration Statement on any applicable form registering for sale all
of the Shares of Common Stock herein subscribed and purchased.

                  5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

                  a. Promptly following the delivery by the Buyer of the
aggregate purchase price for the Common Stock in accordance with Section 1(b)
hereof, the Company will irrevocably instruct its transfer agent to issue Common
Stock, bearing the restrictive legend specified in Section 4(b) of this
Agreement prior to registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act, registered in
the name of the Buyer or Buyer's nominee. The Company covenants and agrees that
no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5 and
stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof prior to
registration and sale of the Shares under the 1933 Act will be given by the
Company to the transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement, and applicable law. Nothing in this Section shall
affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with this
Agreement and all agreements attached hereto and with all applicable securities
laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a
resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of
Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company
shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement)
permit the transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Shares, promptly
instruct the Company's transfer agent to issue one or more certificates for
Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified
by the Buyer.

                  b. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing
the Common Stock, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program,
upon request of the Buyer and its compliance with the provisions contained in
this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and
the Buyer thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement
of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its
transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable to the Buyer
by crediting the account of Buyer's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

                  6. DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.

                  The Common Stock shall be delivered by the Company to the
Buyer pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, on a delivery against payment basis, on
the Closing Date.

                                       8

the parties but in any no later than 12:00 Noon, New York time on March 10,
2000. The closing shall occur on such date at the offices of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company's
obligation to sell and the Buyer's obligation to buy are further subject to
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 8 and 9 hereof.

                  8. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, each as

Closing Date of all covenants and agreements of the Buyer required to be
performed on or before such Closing Date; and

                  d. There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation
prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring
any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained.

                  9. CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE.

                  The Company understands that the Buyer's obligation to
purchase the Common Stock on the Closing Date is conditioned upon:

accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware for contracts to be wholly
performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof
