     (a)  Each Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised by the Holder at any
          time on the Exercise Date, upon the terms and subject to the
          conditions set forth herein. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been
          exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the Exercise
          Date and the person entitled to receive shares of restricted common
          stock of the Corporation deliverable upon such exercise shall be
          treated for all purposes as the Holder of a Warrant Share upon the
          exercise of the applicable Warrant as of the close of business on the
          Exercise Date. Promptly following, and in any event within ten (10)
          business days after, the date on which the Corporation first receives
          clearance of all funds received in payment of the Purchase Price
          pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the Corporation shall cause to
          be issued and delivered to the person or persons entitled to receive
          the same, a certificate or certificates evidencing the issuance to
          such Holder of the applicable number of Warrant Shares (plus a Warrant
          Certificate for any remaining issued but unexercised Warrants of the
          Holder). Notwithstanding

                                       3

<PAGE>

          the foregoing sentence, in the event that any registration or
          qualification (or filing for exemption from any such requirements) is
          required prior to the issuance of such Warrant Shares by the
          Corporation in accordance with Section 3(b) below, then the obligation
          to deliver any such certificates shall arise only upon completion of
          such requirements and at such time as the Corporation may lawfully do
          so. .

     (b)  Upon the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, if the
          Corporation so requests, the Holder shall certify to the Corporation
          that it is not exercising such Warrants with a view to distribute the
          Warrant Shares in violation of the Securities Act, and shall provide
          such other investor representations as the Corporation may require to
          confirm the ability of the Corporation to rely upon the exemption from
          registration under the Securities Act which applies to the
          distribution of Warrant Shares at the time of such distribution.

SECTION 3. RESERVATION OF SHARES; REGISTRATION; RIGHTS; TAXES; ETC.

     (a)  The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
          available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose
          of issue upon the valid exercise of Warrants, such number of Warrant
          Shares as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all Warrants
          then outstanding. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common
          Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall, at
          the time of delivery, be duly and validly issued, fully-paid,
          nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
          to the issuance thereof (other than those which the Corporation shall
          promptly pay or discharge, or any liens created thereon by the Holder
          thereof and/or any predecessor of such Holder).

     (b)  The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver any Warrant Shares
          pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby unless and
          until a registration statement under the Securities Act and/or under
          any applicable state securities laws and regulations, with respect to
          such securities is effective, or an exemption from such registration
          is available to the Corporation at the time of such exercise. The
          Corporation covenants that if any Warrant Shares reserved for the
          purpose of exercise of Warrants hereunder require registration with,
          or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state
          securities law before such securities may be validly issued or
          delivered upon such exercise, then the Corporation will in good faith
          and as expeditiously as reasonably

                                       4

<PAGE>

          possible, endeavor to secure such registration or approval. However,
          in the event that this Warrant Certificate represents Warrants which
          have been transferred by an initial holder thereof, the Warrants
          represented hereby may not be exercised by, nor shares of Common Stock
          issued to, the Holder hereof in any state in which such exercise and
          issuance would be unlawful.

     (c)  The Warrant Shares into which the Warrants represented by this
          Certificate may be exercised are included in certain registrable
          securities governed by Section 6 of that certain Subscription
          Agreement entered into between the Corporation and the original Holder
          of this Certificate (the "Registration Provisions"), which
          Registration Provisions are hereby incorporated into this Certificate
          in their entirety for the benefit of such Holder and any subsequent
          transferee thereof, to the extent such transfer has been made in
          accordance with the provisions of this Certificate and then applicable
          law. If the Corporation is properly notified of any such transfer,
          then it shall deem any references to the original Holder hereof in the
          Registration Provisions to mean and include, as applicable, such
          transferee.

     (d)  The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar taxes and
          other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the
          issuance of the Warrants, or the issuance or delivery of any shares of
          Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that if
          the shares of Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than
          the name of the Holder hereof, then no such delivery shall be made
          unless the person requesting the same has paid to the Corporation the
          amount of transfer taxes or charges incident thereto, if any.

SECTION 4. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence
     satisfactory to it of the ownership of, and loss, theft, destruction or
     mutilation of, this Warrant Certificate and (in case of loss, theft or
     destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation, and (in the case
     of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Corporation
     shall execute and deliver to the Holder in lieu thereof a new Warrant
     Certificate of like tenor representing an equal aggregate number of
     Warrants as was indicated to be outstanding on the prior lost or mutilated
     Warrant Certificate (provided however, that to the extent that any
     discrepancy may exist between the number of Warrants purported to be
     outstanding in respect of any Holder as evidenced by a Warrant Certificate
     that has been lost or mutilated and the number attributable to such Holder
     in the Warrant Registry, then the Warrant Registry shall control for all
     purposes absent a showing of manifest error. Each Holder requesting a
     substitute Warrant Certificate due to loss, theft or destruction shall,
     prior

                                       5

<PAGE>

     to receiving such substitute certificate, provide an affidavit to the
     Corporation in the form prescribed thereby and signed by (and notarized on
     behalf of) such Holder. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate
     shall comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other
     reasonable charges as the Corporation my prescribe.

SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES OR
     WARRANTS.

     (a)  Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate and applicable
          law, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to
          time after the date hereof, issue any shares of Common Stock as a
          stock dividend to the holders of Common Stock, or subdivide or combine
          the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number
          of shares (any such sale, issuance, subdivision or combination being
          herein called a "Change of Shares"), then, and thereafter upon each
          further Change of Shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately
          prior to such Change of Shares shall be reduced, but in no event
          increased, to a price (the "Adjusted Purchase Price") determined by
          multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
          Change of Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
          sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
          prior to the issuance of such additional shares plus the number of
          shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by
          the Corporation would purchase at such Purchase Price, and the
          denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of
          Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such
          additional shares. Such adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be made
          successively whenever an issuance is made after a Change of Shares has
          occurred.

          Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section
          5(a), the total number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
          exercise of each Warrant shall become (subject to the provisions
          contained in Section 5(b) hereof) such number of shares (calculated to
          the nearest tenth) purchasable at the Purchase Price in effect
          immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the
          numerator of which shall be the Purchase Price in effect immediately
          prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the
          applicable Adjusted Purchase Price (rounded to the nearest whole
          number of shares). No fractional shares shall be issued or called for
          as a result of any adjustment made hereunder.

                                       6

<PAGE>

     (b)  The Corporation may elect, at its sole discretion, upon any adjustment
          of the Purchase Price hereunder, to adjust the number of Warrants
          outstanding, in lieu of adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares
          purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant as hereinabove provided,
          so that each Warrant outstanding after such adjustment shall represent
          the right to purchase one Warrant Share. Each Warrant held of record
          prior to such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall become that
          number of Warrants (calculated to the nearest tenth) determined by
          multiplying the number one by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
          be the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment
          and the denominator of which shall be the Adjusted Purchase Price.
          Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants pursuant to this
          Section 5(b), the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable, cause
          to be distributed to each Holder of Warrant Certificates, on the date
          of such adjustment, Warrant Certificates evidencing the adjusted
          number of Warrants to which such Holder shall be entitled as a result
          of such adjustment or, at the sole option of the Corporation, cause to
          be distributed to such Holder in substitution and replacement for the
          Warrant Certificates held by him prior to the date of adjustment, and
          upon surrender thereof, (if required by the corporation) new Warrant
          Certificates evidencing the aggregate number of Warrants to which such
          Holder shall be entitled after such adjustment.

     (c)  In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other
          change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in case of any
          consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another
          corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
          Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in
          any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
          outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in case of any sale or
          conveyance to another corporation of all, or substantially all, of the
          property of the Corporation (other than a sale/leaseback, mortgage or
          other financing transaction), the Corporation shall cause effective
          provision to be made so that each holder of a Warrant then outstanding
          shall have the right thereafter, by exercising such Warrant, to
          purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or
          property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification'
          capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale or
          conveyance by a holder of the number of Warrant Shares that might have
          been purchased upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
          reclassification, capital reorganization or other change,
          consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision

                                       7

<PAGE>

          shall include provision for adjustments that shall be as nearly
          equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
          this Section 5 upon a Change of Shares. The Corporation shall not
          effect any such consolidation, merger or sale without the written
          consent of Holders of a majority of the Warrants then outstanding,
          unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the
          successor (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such
          consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing assets or other
          appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument
          executed and delivered to the Corporation, the obligation to deliver
          to the holder of each Warrant such substitute warrants, shares of
          stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
          provisions such Holders may be entitled to purchase, and the other
          obligations of the Corporation set out in this Certificate. The
          foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive
          reclassifications, capital reorganizations and other changes of
          outstanding shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations,
          mergers, sales or conveyances.

     (d)  Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the Purchase Price or
          the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the
          Warrants, all Warrant Certificates issued (whether prior to or
          subsequent to any event causing an adjustment thereof) shall continue
          to express the Purchase Price per share, and the number of shares
          purchasable thereunder as originally expressed in the Warrant
          Certificate initially issued to any Holder.

     (e)  After each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section
          5, the Corporation will promptly prepare a certificate signed by the
          Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, and attested by the Secretary or
          an Assistant Secretary, of the Corporation setting forth: (i) the
          Purchase Price as so adjusted, (ii) the number of shares of Common
          Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after such adjustment
          or, if the Corporation shall have elected to adjust the number of
          Warrants, the number of Warrants to which the Holder of each Warrant
          shall then be entitled, and (iii) a brief statement of the facts
          accounting for such adjustment. The Corporation will promptly cause a
          brief summary thereof to be sent by ordinary first class mail to each
          Holder of Warrants at his or her last address as it shall appear on
          the registry books of the Corporation. No failure to mail such notice
          nor any defect therein nor in the mailing thereof shall affect the
          validity thereof. The affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant
          Secretary of the Corporation that such notice has been mailed shall,
          in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated
          therein.

                                       8

<PAGE>

     (f)  As used in this Section 5, references to "Common Stock" shall mean and
          include all of the Corporation's Common Stock authorized on the date
          hereof and shall also include any capital stock of any class of the
          Corporation thereafter authorized which shall not be limited to a
          fixed sum or percentage in respect of the rights of the holders
          thereof to participate in dividends and in the distribution of assets
          upon the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
          Corporation; provided, however, that "Warrant Shares" shall include
          only shares of such class designated in the Corporation's Certificate
          of Incorporation as Common Stock on the date hereof or (i) in the case
          of any reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
          conveyance of the character referred to in Section 5(c) hereof, the
          stock, securities or property provided for in such section, or (ii) in
          the case of any reclassification or change in the outstanding shares
          of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as a result of
          a subdivision or combination or consisting of a change in par value,
          or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value,
          such shares of Common Stock as so reclassified or changed.

     (g)  Any determination as to whether an adjustment in the Purchase Price in
          effect hereunder is required pursuant to this Section 5, or as to the
          amount of any such adjustment, if required, shall be binding upon all
          holders of Warrants and the Corporation if made in good faith by the
          Board of Directors of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section
          5(g), the Corporation's Board of Directors shall be deemed to have
          acted in good faith if it makes any such decision in reliance upon
          advice of its legal counsel and/or another independent professional
          hired to advise the Board on such matters.

SECTION 6. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND.

     (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, each certificate
          evidencing the issuance of Warrant Shares (whether issued in the name
          of the original Holder of this Certificate or of any subsequent
          transferee thereof), shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a
