          FORM OF WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
                  OF ALLIANCE IMAGING, INC.

                     Warrant Certificate

     THIS CERTIFIES THAT _____________________________ ("Original Warrant
Holder") or registered assigns is the registered owner of the number of 
warrants set forth above (the "Warrants"), each of which entitles the owner
thereof to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time
prior to 5:00 P.M. (Los Angeles time) on the Expiration Date (as hereinafter
defined) at the principal office of Alliance Imaging, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), one fully paid and non-assessable share of the
Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), of the Company, at a cash
purchase price which shall initially be $ 3.9375 per share (as such purchase
price may be adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, the "Purchase Price") upon
presentation and surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the Form of
Election to Purchase duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Purchase
Price in the manner specified herein.  As provided herein, the Purchase Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon the 
exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the
happening of certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.  The
holder or holders of these Warrants, whether the Original Warrant Holder or
registered assigns, shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Holder."

     1.  FORM OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.  All certificates representing the
Warrants ("Warrant Certificates"), if any in addition to this Warrant
Certificate,



which may hereinafter be issued and the forms of election to purchase shares 
and of assignment that accompany such Warrant Certificates shall be 
substantially in the form of this Warrant Certificate and may have such 
letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such 
legends (including, without limitation, a legend referring to restrictions on 
resale by statutory underwriters), summaries or endorsements printed thereon 
as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the 
provisions of this Warrant Certificate, or as may be required to comply with 
any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto.  All Warrant 
Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President or a 
senior or executive vice president.

     2.  TRANSFER, SPLIT UP, COMBINATION AND EXCHANGE OF WARRANT 
CERTIFICATES; MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN WARRANT CERTIFICATES.  
Subject to the provisions of Section 11 hereof, this Warrant Certificate may 
be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Warrant 
Certificate or Warrant Certificates, entitling the Holder to purchase a like 
number of shares of Common Stock as the Warrant Certificate or Warrant 
Certificates surrendered then entitled him to purchase; provided, however, 
that (i) any Warrant Certificate with which this Warrant Certificate is 
combined shall have the same terms as this Warrant Certificate, and (ii) 
notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Certificate to the contrary, the 
Holder may transfer all or a portion of its right, title and interest in and 
to the Warrants to another person or entity.  If the Holder desires to 
transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Warrant Certificate, he or she 
shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall 
surrender the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to be transferred, 
split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office of the Company.  
Thereupon, the Company shall have such new Warrant Certificate or Warrant 
Certificates, as the case may be, signed as provided in Section 1 and 
delivered to the person entitled thereto, as so requested.  The Company may 
require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or 
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, 
split up, combination or exchange of Warrant Certificates.

     Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, 
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in case of 
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory 
to it (including with respect to the amount of such indemnity or security), 
and reimbursement by the Holder to the Company of all reasonable expenses 
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant 
Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant 
Certificate of like tenor to the Holder in lieu of the Warrant Certificate so 
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.  Notwithstanding anything in the 
foregoing to the contrary, so long as the Holder is the Original Warrant 
Holder, the Company will not require security (other than its own 
indemnification referred to above) in connection with any such issuance of 
replacement Warrant Certificates.

                                   -2-



     3.  SUBSEQUENT ISSUE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Subsequent to the issuance 
of this Warrant Certificate, additional Warrant Certificates shall be issued, 
as necessary, in connection with (a) any transfer, combination, split up or 
exchange of Warrants pursuant to Section 2 hereof, (b) the replacement of 
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant Certificates pursuant to Section 
2 hereof, (c) the partial exercise of any Warrant Certificate to evidence the 
unexercised portion of such Warrant Certificate, pursuant to Section 4 
hereof, and (d) the exercise of the Company's election set forth in Section 
8(e) hereof.

    4.  EXERCISE OF WARRANTS; PURCHASE PRICE.

     (a)  Subject to the final sentence of this paragraph (a), the Holder of
this Warrant Certificate may exercise the Warrants evidenced hereby in whole or
in part at any time upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate with the form of
election to purchase attached hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment
of the Purchase Price for each share of Common Stock as to which the Warrants
are exercised, at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the Expiration
Date.  The "Expiration Date" shall be the date that is ten (10) years from the
date of the issuance of these Warrants.  The Purchase Price shall initially be
$3.9375 but shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof, and
shall be payable only in the consideration specified in paragraph (b)
immediately below.

     (b)  Upon receipt of this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election
to purchase duly executed, accompanied by payment, in cash, or by certified
check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company, or by surrender of a
debt instrument of the Company held by the Holder (valued at the outstanding
principal amount thereof plus, at the option of the Holder, any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon) or a preferred stock instrument of the Company held by
the Holder (valued at the liquidation preference thereof, including, without
duplication, at the option of the Holder, any accumulated and unpaid dividends
thereon), of the Purchase Price for the shares to be purchased and an amount
equal to any applicable transfer tax, if any, the Company shall thereupon
promptly deliver to or upon the order of the Holder of a Warrant Certificate
(i) certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be
purchased, registered in such name or names as may be designated by the Holder
and (ii) when appropriate, the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuance of
fractional shares.

     (c)  In case the Holder of this Warrant Certificate shall exercise less
than all the Warrants evidenced hereby, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing
Warrants equivalent to the Warrants remaining unexercised shall be issued by
the Company to the Holder or to his duly authorized assigns, subject to the
provisions of Section 11 hereof.  In addition, if the Holder exercises Warrants
using debt or preferred stock instruments of the Company as hereinabove

                                   -3-



provided, the Company shall return balance certificates representing such 
instruments to the Holder unless the full amount of such instruments is 
tendered as payment of the Purchase Price.

     (d)  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Warrants 
shall be deemed to be Registrable Securities within the meaning of that 
certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 31, 1994 among the 
Company and the Noteholders and Debentureholders named therein, with the same 
registration and other rights afforded to other Registrable Securities 
covered thereby.

     5.  CANCELLATION AND DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE.  Upon surrender 
of this Warrant Certificate for the purpose of exercise (in whole or in 
part), exchange, substitution or transfer, this Warrant Certificate shall be 
cancelled, and no Warrant Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except 
as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate. 
If the Company purchases or acquires Warrants, the Company shall cancel and 
retire the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants.

     6.  RESERVATION AND AVAILABILITY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.  The Company 
covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out 
of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, the number of shares 
of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all 
outstanding Warrants.

     The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as 
may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Common Stock delivered upon the 
exercise of Warrants shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for 
such shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price and compliance with all 
other provisions of this Warrant Certificate), be duly and validly authorized 
and issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares.

     The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and 
payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may be 
payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of Warrant Certificates or of 
any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants.  The Company shall 
not, however, be required (i) to pay any tax or taxes based upon the income 
of the Holder or any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any 
transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Warrant Certificates or the 
issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock in a name other than 
that of the Holder or (ii) to issue or deliver any certificates for shares of 
Common Stock upon the exercise of any Warrants until any such tax shall have 
been paid (any such tax being payable by the Holder of the Warrant 
Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the 
Company's satisfaction that no such tax is due.

                                   -4-



     7.  COMMON STOCK RECORD DATE.  Each person in whose name any certificate 
for shares of Common Stock is issued upon the exercise of the Warrants shall 
for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common 
Stock represented thereby, and such certificate shall be dated on the 
exercise date, which is the date upon which the Warrant Certificate 
evidencing such Warrants was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase 
Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) was made; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that 
if such exercise date is a date upon which the Common Stock transfer books of 
the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the record 
holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next 
succeeding business day on which the Common Stock transfer books of the 
Company are open.

     The Holder, as such, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends 
or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Common Stock or of any other 
securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise 
of the Warrants, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant Certificate be 
construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a 
shareholder of the Company or any right to vote upon any matter submitted to 
shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any 
corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, 
reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, 
conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive 
dividends or subscription rights or otherwise, until the Warrants shall have 
been exercised as provided in this Warrant Certificate.

     8.  ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE, NUMBER OF SHARES OR NUMBER OF 
WARRANTS. The Purchase Price and the number of shares covered by this Warrant 
Certificate are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence 
of the events enumerated in this Section 8.

     (a)  In case the Company shall at any time after the date of the 
issuance of this Warrant Certificate (i) declare a dividend on the Common 
Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding 
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine the outstanding 
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its 
capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such 
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger), the Purchase 
Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend, or such 
issuance,  or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, 
distribution or reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of 
capital stock issuable on such date shall be proportionately adjusted so that 
upon the exercise after such time of any Warrant, the Holder shall be 
entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock 
which, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date and 
at a time when the Common Stock transfer books of the Company were open, the 
Holder would have owned

                                   -5-
                                  


upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, 
subdivision, combination, distribution or reclassification, subject to the 
provisions of Section 8(c) hereof.  Such adjustment shall be made 
successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

     (b)  In case after the date hereof the Company shall (except as 
hereinafter provided) issue any Additional Securities for a consideration 
less than (a) the then effective per share Purchase Price or (b) the Fair 
Market Value per share, then the per share Purchase Price upon each such 
issuance shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the per 
share Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction:

          (A)  if issued for a consideration per share less than the then 
effective per share Purchase Price:

               (1)  the numerator of which shall be the number of Outstanding 
Shares (as hereinafter defined) immediately prior to the issuance of such 
Additional Securities PLUS the number of shares of Common Stock which the 
aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Securities so 
issued would purchase at the then effective per share Purchase Price, and

               (2)  the denominator of which shall be the number of 
Outstanding Shares immediately after the issuance of such Additional 
Securities.

          (B)  if issued for a consideration per share less than the Fair 
Market Value per share of Common Stock:

               (1)  the numerator of which shall be the number of Outstanding 
Shares immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities plus 
the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for 
the total number of such Additional Securities so issued would purchase at 
the Fair Market Value per share; and

               (2)  the denominator of which shall be the number of 
Outstanding Shares immediately after the issuance of such Additional 
Securities.

     If such additional Securities shall be issued at a price per share less 
than both the then effective per share Purchase Price and the Fair Market 
Value per share of Common Stock, the per share Purchase Price shall be 
adjusted in the manner which will result in a greatest reduction of the per 
share Purchase Price.  The provisions of this Section 8(b) shall not apply to 
any Additional Securities which are distributed to holders of Common Stock as 
a stock dividend or subdivision, for which an adjustment is provided for 
under Section 8(a). Such

                                   -6-



adjustment shall be made successively whenever Additional Securities are 
issued, subject to Section 8(c) hereof.

          (i)  "Additional Securities" shall mean (A) shares of Common Stock 
and (B) options, warrants or rights to purchase Common Stock or securities 
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Derivative Securities"); 
provided, however, that Additional Securities shall not include (A) shares of 
Common Stock issued upon exercise of any warrants, options or rights issued 
or granted on or prior to April 15, 1996 and any warrant certificates or 
similar instruments issued upon transfer, split up, combination or exchange 
of any of such warrants, options or rights, (B) Derivative Securities granted 
by the Company prior to the issuance date of these Warrants, (C) Derivative 
Securities granted to any investor in debt securities of the Company in order 
to induce such investor to purchase such debt securities, provided that such 
Derivative Securities represent the right to acquire not more than five 
percent (5%) of the Outstanding Shares in the aggregate, and the Common Stock 
issuable upon the exercise or conversion thereof or exchange therefor, (D) 
options to acquire Common Stock issued pursuant to a compensatory plan duly 
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and (E) shares of Common 
Stock issued in a secondary offering registered under the Securities Act of 
1933, as amended, provided that the public offering price in such offering is 
not less than 95% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock.

          (ii) "Consideration" shall mean (A) all consideration received by 
the Company upon the issuance or sale of Additional Securities and (B) the 
minimum amounts of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise, 
conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities that are Additional 
Securities.  For the purpose of calculating Consideration, the consideration 
received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities shall (A) to the 
extent it consists of cash, be computed at the net amount of cash received by 
the Company after any deduction of any expenses payable by the Company and 
any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation, or concessions paid or 
allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale, (B) to the 
extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value 
of that property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the 
Company, and (C) if Additional Securities are issued or sold together with 
other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration 
which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so 
received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of 
Directors to be allocable to such Additional Securities.

          (iii)       "Outstanding Shares" shall, at any given time, mean (A) 
all shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time and (B) all shares of 
Common Stock that could be acquired through the exercise, conversion or 
exchange of Derivative Securities that are outstanding at such time.

                                   -7-


          (iv)  "Fair Market Value" means, as of any date of determination, 
the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the principal national 
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded on the last 
preceding trading day on which the Common Stock was traded (the "Last Trading 
Day"), or, if the Common Stock is not traded on a national securities 
exchange, the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the National Market 
System of NASDAQ on the Last Trading Day, or, if the Common Stock is not 
traded on a national securities exchange or the National Market System, the 
average of the last bid and asked prices of the Common Stock on the Small Cap 
market of the NASDAQ on the Last Trading Day, or, if the Common Stock is not 
then traded on any of the foregoing markets, the value of the Common Stock 
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Additional Securities are 
issued pursuant to a private placement, Fair Market Value shall mean the 
average of the amounts described above on each of the 10 trading days 
immediately preceding the determination date.

          (v)  No adjustment of the Purchase Price under this Section 8(b) 
shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the 
exercise, conversion or exchange of any Derivative Securities, other than the 
adjustment made upon the issuance or sale of any such Derivative Securities. 
If an adjustment has been made upon the issuance or sale of Derivative 
Securities and the rights to acquire Common Stock under such Derivative 
Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the Purchase Price 
adjusted upon the issuance of such Derivative Securities shall be readjusted 
to the Purchase Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been 
made on the basis that the only Additional Securities so issued were the 
shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise, 
conversion or exchange of such Derivative Securities, and such shares of 
Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually 
received by the Company for the granting of all such Derivative Securities, 
plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon the 
exercise or conversion or exchange of such Derivative Securities.

     (c)  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, no 
adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment, 
together with any amount being carried forward as hereinafter provided, would 
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, 
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 8(c) are not 
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any 
subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made 
to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case 
may be.  Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 8(c), any 
adjustment required by this Section 8 shall be made no later than the earlier 
of one year from the date of the transaction which mandates such adjustment 
or the expiration of the right to exercise any Warrant.

                                   -8-



     (d)  In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made 
pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, the Holder shall become entitled to receive 
any shares or units of capital stock of the Company other than shares of 
Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of Warrants, thereafter the 
number of such other shares or units so receivable upon exercise of the 
Warrants 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 Common Stock contained in Section 8(a) hereof, and the provisions of this 
Warrant Certificate with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall apply on 
like terms to any such other shares or units.

     (e)  Irrespective of any adjustments in the Purchase Price or the number 
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, this 
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates thereafter issued may continue to 
express the Purchase Price and the number of shares stated in this Warrant 
Certificate and the Purchase Price and such number of shares specified 
thereon shall be deemed to have been so adjusted.

     (f)  Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the 
calculations made in Section 8(b) hereof, each Warrant outstanding 
immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter be deemed 
to evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that 
number of shares (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) obtained by (i) 
multiplying the number of shares covered by a Warrant immediately prior to 
the adjustment of the number of shares by the Purchase Price in effect 
immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price and (ii) dividing 
the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after 
such adjustment of the Purchase Price.

     (g)  The Company may elect to adjust the number of Warrants, in 
substitution for any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock 
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants as provided in Section 8(a) 
hereof, such that the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon 
exer cise of the Warrants is the same as if such adjustment had been made but 
such that each of the Warrants outstanding after such adjustment of the 
number of Warrants is exercisable for one share of Common Stock.  The Company 
shall notify the Holder in writing of such election.  Upon each adjustment of 
the number of Warrants pursuant to this subsection (g), the Company shall as 
promptly as practicable cause to be distributed to the Holder Warrant 
Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 11, the additional or substitute 
Warrants to which the Holder shall be entitled as a result of such 
adjustment; or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed 
to the Holder in substitution and replacement for the Warrant Certificates 
held by the Holder prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender 
thereof, if required by the Company, new Warrant Certificates evidencing all 
the Warrants

                                   -9-



to which the Holder shall be entitled after such adjustment.  
Warrant Certificates so to be distributed shall be issued in the manner 
provided for herein (and shall bear the adjusted Purchase Price, if 
applicable) and shall be registered in the name of the Holder.

     (h)  In any case in which this Section 8 shall require that an adjustment
in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified
event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the
issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date the
shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable
upon such exercise over and above the shares of Common Stock and other capital
stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the
Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument
evidencing the Holder's right to receive such additional shares upon the
occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

     9.  CERTIFICATION OF ADJUSTED PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES 
ISSUABLE.  Whenever the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common 
Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant are adjusted as provided in 
Section 8 above, the Company shall provide notice to the Holder in writing 
setting forth the Purchase Price as so adjusted, the number of shares of 
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant as so adjusted, and a 
brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment to the Holder.  
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the 
legality or validity of any action referred to in Section 8 hereof.

     10.  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS.  If (i) the Company shall 
at any time consolidate with or merge with or into another corporation and 
(ii) the Common Stock is exchanged, cancelled or reclassified in connection 
with such transaction, the Holder will thereafter receive, upon the exercise 
hereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the securities, 
property or cash to which the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock 
deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such 
transaction would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger, and 
the Company shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation or 
merger as may be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall 
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any 
securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the 
Warrants.  A sale or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the 
Company for a consideration (apart from the assumption of obligations) 
consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger 
for the purposes of clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 10.  The 
provisions of this Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or 
consolidations or sales or other transfers.

                                   -10-



     11.  FRACTIONAL WARRANTS AND FRACTIONAL SHARES.

     (a)  Notwithstanding an adjustment pursuant to Section 8(e) hereof in 
the number of Warrants, the Company shall not be required to issue Warrant 
Certificates which evidence fractional Warrants.  If the Company so elects, 
in lieu of such fractional Warrants, there shall be paid to the Holder to 
whom such fractional Warrants would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash 
equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a whole Warrant (as 
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).

     (b)  Notwithstanding an adjustment pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof in 
the number of shares covered by a Warrant, the Company shall not be required 
to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute 
certificates which evidence fractional shares.  In lieu of fractional shares, 
at the Company's election, there shall be paid to the Holder at the time 
Warrants are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same 
fraction of the current market value of a share of Common Stock (as 
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).

     (c)  The Holder, by the acceptance of the Warrant, expressly waives his 
right to receive any fractional Warrant or any fractional share upon exercise 
of a Warrant.

     12.  RIGHT OF ACTION.  All rights of action in respect of this Warrant 
Certificate are vested in the Holder.

     13.  AGREEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE HOLDERS. The Holder of this 
Warrant Certificate by accepting the same consents and agrees with the 
Company and with every other holder of a Warrant Certificate that:

     (a)  the Warrant Certificates are transferable only on the registry 
books of the Company if surrendered at the principal office of the Company; 
and

     (b)  the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name each 
Warrant Certificate is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the 
Warrants evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or 
writing on the Warrant Certificates made by anyone other than the Company) 
for all purposes whatsoever, and the Company shall not be affected by any 
notice to the contrary.

                                   -11-
