conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the First Amendment set forth in

          shall be included on a pro forma basis as a member of the Group for

          the Securities Act or to the provisions of any securities or Blue Sky
          law of any applicable jurisdiction.

                                                                 August 15, 1995
                                                         as amended May 15, 1996

                           VOID AFTER AUGUST 15, 2000


                                    Recitals

        WHEREAS, on August 15, 1995, MagiNet Corporation, a California
corporation (the "Company"), entered the Note Agreement dated August 15, 1995
(the "Note Agreement") among the Company and certain purchasers, including 1, of
the Company's 10.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2000 (the "Notes") and granted to
each of such purchasers a warrant to acquire shares of the Company's Common
Stock (the "August Warrant");

        WHEREAS, in connection with the Company's sale and issuance of its
Series D Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred") to certain investors
pursuant to the Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 15, 1996
among the Company and such investors (the "Series D Agreement"), and as an
inducement to such investors to purchase the Series D Preferred, 1 and certain
other holders of the Notes have agreed to waive certain financial covenants set
forth in the First Amendment of Note Agreement of even date herewith;

        WHEREAS, as an inducement to such investors to grant such a waiver, the
Company has agreed to amend and restate the August Warrant as set forth herein.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby grants this warrant to acquire shares
of its Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

1.  Number and Price of Shares Subject to Warrant.
    --------------------------------------------- 

    a.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, 1, or its
        registered assigns, is entitled to acquire from the Company (i) at any
        time after the date hereof and on or

 
         before the date of termination of this Warrant provided for in Section
         3 hereof up to 2 shares (the "Base Shares") and (ii) simultaneously
         with the closing of a Liquidity Event (as defined in Section 2), an
         additional 3 shares (the "Additional Shares") (subject to adjustment
         pursuant to clause 1(b) below) of duly authorized, validly issued,
         fully paid, and non-assessable Common Stock of the Company, for a per
         share Warrant Price (as defined below in Section 2). The Base Shares
         and the Additional Shares are referred to collectively herein as the
         "Warrant Stock." This Warrant is one of a series of warrants
         (collectively, the "Warrants") such term to include all Warrants issued
         in substitution therefor) having substantially similar terms and issued
         in connection with the sale of the Notes, and as amended May 15, 1996
         in connection with the First Amendment Agreement dated May 15, 1996.

    b.   Notwithstanding clause 1(a) above, in the event the value of "Z"
         obtained as set forth below is greater than or equal to 100,000, then
         no adjustment shall be made to the number of Additional Shares issuable
         upon exercise of this Warrant. In the event the value of "Z" obtained
         as set forth below is less than 100,000, the number of Additional
         Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be reduced by a
         number equal to the product of (i) the difference between 100,000 and
         "Z" and (ii) the number obtained by dividing 3 by 100,000, where "Z" is
         calculated as follows:

                Z    =    [(X-Y)/(P-W)] - S,
                S    =    1,522,857;
                X    =    the product of $24,900,000 and (1+(.185/12))/n/, where
                          "n" equals the number of calendar months elapsed from
                          August 15, 1995 through the closing date of a
                          Liquidity Event.
                Y    =    $24,900,000
                P    =    the fair market value per share of the Company's 
                          Common Stock as determined in the Liquidity Event;
                W    =    the Warrant Price per share (as adjusted pursuant to 
                          Sections 2 and 9).

2.  Warrant Price.  Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 9, this
    -------------                                                          
    Warrant shall be exercisable at a per share purchase price (the "Warrant
    Price") of $7.00; provided, however, that if no Liquidity Event (as defined
    below) has occurred: (i) on or before June 30, 1998, the Warrant Price shall
    be adjusted to $6.00 per share, (ii) on or before June 30, 1999, the Warrant
    Price shall be adjusted to $5.00 per share, and (iii) on or before June 30,
    2000, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to $4.50 per share; and provided
    further, that each of the per-share prices in (i), (ii), and (iii) of this
    Section 2 shall be adjusted, as provided in Section 9, on the same basis as
    the then applicable Warrant Price. A "Liquidity Event" for purposes of this
    Warrant shall mean the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public
    offering of the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to an effective
    registration statement under the Act (provided that any such public offering
    results in gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $10,000,000); the
    exchange of the Company's Common Stock for securities of a corporation which
    corporation has a pre-exchange market capitalization of at least $50,000,000
    and whose shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange or
    automated quotation system; or any other merger, 

                                      -2-

 
    acquisition or similar transaction in which the holders of the Company's
    Common Stock receive cash in exchange for such Common Stock, or receive a
    combination of cash and such listed securities.

3.  Termination.  This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon
    -----------                                                          
    exercise hereof) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) August 15, 2000 or
    (ii) the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the
    Common Stock of the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement
    under the Act, which results in gross proceeds to the Company in excess of
    $10,000,000; provided, that if the holder of this Warrant has exercised its
    right to include the underlying Warrant Stock in such public offering, and
    any such Warrant Stock is excluded from such underwriting by reason of the
    underwriter's marketing limitation, then the holder shall have a period of
    ten (10) Business Days (as defined in the Note Agreement dated August 15,
    1995) to exercise its right pursuant to this Warrant to purchase such
    Warrant Stock, or to effect an exchange described in Section 8(d) below, at
    the then effective Warrant Price notwithstanding the termination provision
    of this Warrant pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) above. The Company
    shall give the holder of this Warrant written notice of such public offering
    at least twenty (20) and no more than ninety (90) days prior to the
    effectiveness of such registration statement and shall deliver a copy of the
    preliminary prospectus with respect to any such public offering to the
    holder of this Warrant promptly after it becomes available.

4.  No Adjustments.  Except as provided in Section 9, no adjustment on account
    --------------                                                            
    of dividends or interest on Warrant Stock will be made upon the exercise
    hereof.

5.  No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
    --------------------                                                       
    in connection with any subscription hereunder. In lieu of any fractional
    shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal
    to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value (as
    defined in Section 8) of one (1) share of Warrant Stock on the date of
    exercise (minus the Warrant Price if unpaid).

6.  No Stockholder Rights.  This Warrant shall not entitle its holder to any of
    ---------------------                                                      
    the rights of a shareholder of the Company; or impose any liabilities on
    such holder to purchase any securities or as a shareholder of the Company,
    whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors or
    shareholders of the Company or otherwise.

7.  Reservation of Stock.  The Company covenants that during the period this
    --------------------                                                    
    Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and
    unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the
    issuance of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
    agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to
    its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates
    to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Warrant Stock
    upon the exercise of this Warrant.

8.  Exercise of Warrant.
    ------------------- 

    a.  Procedure for Exercise of Base Shares. With respect to Base Shares, this
        -------------------------------------
        Warrant may be exercised by the registered holder or its registered
        assigns, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant at the
        principal office of the Company, accompanied by 

                                      -3-

 
         payment in full of the Warrant Price for the Base Shares being
         purchased in cash or by check or by the cancellation of any present or
         future indebtedness from the Company to the holder hereof, in
         accordance with Section 8(c). Upon partial exercise hereof, a new
         warrant or warrants containing the same date and provisions as this
         Warrant shall be issued by the Company to the registered holder for the
         number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant
         shall not have been exercised. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been
         exercised with respect to Base Shares immediately prior to the close of
         business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above,
         and the person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable
         upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of
         such shares of record as of the close of business on such date. As
         promptly as practicable on or after such date, and in any event within
         ten (10) business days thereafter (unless such exercise shall be in
         connection with an underwritten public offering, in which event three
         (3) business days after such exercise), the Company at its expense
         (including the payment by it of any applicable taxes payable by the
         Company) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the
         holder hereof or, subject to Section 8, as such holder (upon payment by
         such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate
         or certificates for the number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable
         upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a
         share as provided above in Section 5.

     b.  Procedure for Exercise of Additional Shares.  With respect to
         -------------------------------------------                  
         Additional Shares, this Warrant may be exercised in whole by the
         registered holder or its registered assigns by the surrender of this
         Warrant at the principal office of the Company not less than twenty-
         four (24) hours before the closing of the Liquidity Event, accompanied
         by payment in full of the Warrant Price for the Additional Shares being
         purchased in cash or check or by the cancellation of any present or
         future indebtedness from the Company to the holder hereof, in
         accordance with Section 8(c). The Warrant shall be deemed to have been
         exercised with respect to Additional Shares simultaneously with the
         closing of the Liquidity Event, and the person entitled to receive the
         Additional Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all
         purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of such closing. As
         promptly as practicable on or after such date, and in any event within
         ten (10) business days thereafter (unless such exercise shall be in
         connection with an underwritten public offering, in which event three
         (3) business days after such exercise), the Company at its expense
         (including the payment by it of any applicable taxes payable by the
         Company) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the
         holder hereof or, subject to Section 8, as such holder (upon payment by
         such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate
         or certificates for the number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable
         upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a
         share as provided above in Section 5.

     c.  Payment with Notes.  Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the holder
         ------------------                                                
         hereof may, at its option, instruct the Company to apply to the payment
         required by Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) all or any part of the
         principal amount then unpaid, the premium, if any, and the interest on
         such principal amount then accrued on any one or more Notes at the time
         held by such holder, in which case the Company will accept the
         aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest on such principal in
         satisfaction of a like amount of such 

                                      -4-

 
         payment. In case less than the entire unpaid principal amount of any
         Note shall be so specified, the principal amount so specified shall be
         credited, as of the date of such exercise, on a pro rata basis against
         all future installments of principal of such Note. In the event that
         the entire unpaid principal amount of any Note is applied to the
         payment of the Warrant Price, such Note shall be promptly surrendered
         and canceled and shall be deemed no longer outstanding for all purposes
         of the Note Agreement, except as provided in Section 6.4 thereof. Any
         interest on the principal amount applied as payment upon such exercise
         shall be paid through the date of payment as the next interest payment
         date under the Note Agreement. No premium shall be payable on principal
         amounts utilized to pay Warrant Price under this Section 8(c).

     d.  Net Exercise Rights.  Notwithstanding the payment provisions set forth
         -------------------                                                   
         in this Section 8, the holder may elect to receive shares of Warrant
         Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant by
         surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
         together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall
         issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock determined by
         use of the following formula:

                        X   =   Y(A-B)
                                ------
                                  A

         Where:       X =  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
                           the holder, pursuant to this Section 8(d).

                      Y =  the number of shares of Warrant Stock subject to this
                           Warrant.

                      A =  the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one (1)
                           share of Warrant Stock.

                      B =  Warrant Price per share of Warrant Stock.

         For purposes of this Section 8, Fair Market Value of a share as of a
         particular date shall mean:

         i.   If the Company's registration statement under the Act, covering
              its initial underwritten public offering of stock has been
              declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then
              the fair market value of a share shall be the closing price (the
              last reported sales price, if not so reported, the average of the
              last reported bid and asked prices) of the Company's stock as of
              the last business day immediately prior to the exercise of this
              Warrant.

         ii.  If such a registration statement has not been declared effective,
              if it has been declared effective but the offering is not
              consummated in accordance with the terms of the underwriting
              agreement between the Company and its underwriters relating to
              such registration statement, or if no such registration statement
              has been filed or prepared, then as determined in good faith by
              the Company's Board 

                                      -5-

 
                  of Directors upon a review of relevant factors. If the
                  Required Holders disagree in writing with such determination,
                  then an investment banking firm mutually acceptable to the
                  Company and the Required Holders shall be retained to appraise
                  the Fair Market Value of the shares of Warrant Stock in
                  accordance with recognized appraisal standards and the
                  determination by such investment banking firm shall be final
                  and binding. If either (1) no such investment banking
                  appraisal has been performed within the prior six (6) months,
                  or (2) the appraised value of a share of Warrant Stock is more
                  than ten percent (10%) higher than the value determined by the
                  Board of Directors, then the cost of such appraisal shall be
                  paid by the Company; in all other circumstances, such cost
                  shall be paid pro rata by the holders of Warrant Stock
                  requesting such an appraisal.

      e.    In the event that the Company determines to effect a private sale of
            its capital stock for cash or other consideration in an aggregate
            amount equal to $1,000,000 or more, and either (x) the securities
            held by other holder(s) of the Company's capital stock are included
            in such sale or (y) the proceeds of any such sale are used to
            repurchase the Company's outstanding securities, then the Company
            shall promptly give the holder written notice thereof and include in
            such sale (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or
            other compliance), and in any placement involved therein, the
            Warrant Stock specified in a written request by the holder received
            by the Company within fifteen (15) days after the Company mails such
            written notice.

9.    Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares.  The number and kind of
      ------------------------------------------------                         
      securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
      adjustment from time to time and the Company agrees to provide written
      notice to each holder promptly upon the happening of certain events as
      follows:

      a.    Adjustment for Dividends in Stock. In case at any time or from time
            ---------------------------------
            to time during the term of this Warrant the holders of the Common
            Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at
            the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have
            received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the
            determination of eligible shareholders, shall have become entitled
            to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional securities
            or other property of the Company by way of dividend or distribution,
            then and in each case, the holder of this Warrant shall, upon the
            exercise hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number
            of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment
            of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other
            or additional securities or other property of the Company which such
            holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the
            holder of record of such Common Stock on the date hereof and had
            thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including
            the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other
            additional securities or other property receivable by it as
            aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments
            called for during such period by this Section 9.

      b.    Adjustment for Reclassification or Reorganization.  In case of any
            -------------------------------------------------                 
            reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock of the
            Company or of any reorganization of the Company during the term of
            this Warrant (other than a merger of the Company with 

                                      -6-

 
            and into another corporation), then and in each such case the
            Company shall give the holder of this Warrant at least twenty (20)
            days notice of the proposed effective date of such transaction, and
            the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time
            after the consummation of such reclassification, change or
            reorganization, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock
            or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof
            prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or
            property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
            consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately
            prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this
            Section 9. The terms of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to
            successive reclassifications, changes or reorganizations.

      c.    Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. If at any time during the
            -------------------------------------
            term of this Warrant the Company shall subdivide its outstanding
            shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant
            Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall thereby
            be proportionately reduced and the number of shares receivable upon
            exercise of the Warrant shall thereby be proportionately increased;
            and, conversely, if at any time on or after the date hereof the
            outstanding number of shares of Common Stock shall be combined into
            a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately
            prior to such combination shall thereby be proportionately increased
            and the number of shares receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
            shall thereby be proportionately decreased.

      d.    Adjustments with Respect to Certain Diluting Issuances. The Warrant
            ------------------------------------------------------
            Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

            i.  Warrant Price Adjustment.

                (1)  If the Company shall issue any Additional Stock (as defined
                     hereafter) without consideration or for a consideration per
                     share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately
                     prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, then such
                     Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to each such
                     issuance shall (except as otherwise provided in this
                     Section 9(d)) be adjusted to the Warrant Price determined
                     by dividing (X) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the
                     product derived by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect
                     immediately prior to such issue by the number of shares of
                     Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issued or
                     issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Preferred
                     Stock, upon exercise of outstanding stock options and
                     warrants or otherwise under Section 9(d)(i)(5)) outstanding
                     immediately prior to such issue, plus (b) the
                     consideration, if any, received by or deemed to have been
                     received by the Company upon such issuance, by (Y) an
                     amount equal to the sum of (c) the number of shares of
                     Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issued or
                     issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Preferred
                     Stock, upon exercise of outstanding stock options and
                     warrants or otherwise under Section 9(d)(i)(5)) outstanding
                     immediately prior to such issuance, plus (d) the number of
                     shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued
                     in such issuance;

                                      -7-

 
                (2)  No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made in an
                     amount less than one cent per share, provided that any
                     adjustment that is not required to be made by reason of
                     this sentence shall be carried forward and taken into
                     account in any subsequent adjustment. Except to the limited
                     extent provided for in Sections 9(d)(i)(5)(c) and
                     9(d)(i)(5)(d), no readjustment of the Warrant Price shall
                     have the effect of increasing the Warrant Price above the
                     Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
                     adjustment.

                (3)  In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for cash,
                     the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash
                     paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts,
                     commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by
                     the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection
                     with the issuance and sale thereof.

                (4)  In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for a
                     consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
                     consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the
                     fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board
                     of Directors. If the Required Holders disagree in writing
                     with such determination, then (A) if such consideration
                     other than cash is not securities, an appraisal firm
                     experienced in valuing property of such type which is
                     mutually acceptable to the Company and the Required Holders
                     shall be retained to appraise the fair market value of such
                     consideration in accordance with recognized appraisal
                     standards, and the determination by such appraisal firm
                     shall be final and binding, and (B) if such consideration
                     other than cash consists of securities, then an investment
                     banking firm mutually acceptable to the Company and the
                     Required Holders shall be retained to appraise the fair
                     market value of the securities in accordance with
                     recognized appraisal standards, and the determination by
                     such investment banking firm shall be final and binding. If
                     either (1) no such appraisal has been performed within the
                     prior six (6) months with respect to the same property or
                     securities, or (2) the appraised value of the consideration
                     is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the value
                     determined by the Board of Directors, then the cost of such
                     appraisal shall be paid by the Company; in all other
                     circumstances, such cost shall be paid pro rata by the
                     holders of Warrant Stock requesting such an appraisal

                     options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such
                     convertible or exchangeable securities (where the shares of
                     Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such options or
                     rights or upon conversion or exchange of such securities
                     are not excluded from the definition of Additional Stock),

                          subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have
                          been issued at the time such options or rights were
                          issued and for a consideration equal to the
                          consideration (determined in the manner provided in

                          securities and subsequent conversion or exchange
                          thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the
                          time such securities were issued or such options or
                          rights were issued and for a consideration equal to
                          the consideration, if any, received by the Company for
                          any such securities and related options or rights
                          (excluding any cash received on account of accrued
                          interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional
                          consideration, if any, to be received by the Company
                          upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or
                          the exercise of any related options or rights (the

                          manner provided in Sections 9(d)(i)(3) and
                          9(d)(i)(4));

                     (c)  in the event of any change in the number of shares of
                          Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options
                          or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for
                          such convertible or exchangeable securities,
                          including, but not limited to, a change resulting from
                          the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Warrant
                          Price in effect at the time shall forthwith be
                          readjusted to such Warrant Price as would have applied
                          had the adjustment that was made upon the issuance of
                          such options, rights or securities not converted prior
                          to such change or the options or rights related to
                          such securities not converted prior to such change
                          been made upon the basis of such change, but no
                          further adjustment shall be made for the actual
                          issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such
                          options or rights or the conversion or exchange of
                          such securities; and

                     (d)  upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the
                          termination of any such rights to convert or exchange
                          or the expiration of any options or rights related to

                          shall forthwith be readjusted to such Warrant Price as
                          would have applied had the adjustment which was made
                          upon the issuance of such options, rights or
                          securities or options or rights related to such

                          upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or
                          upon the exercise of the options or rights related to
                          such securities.

              ii.  "Effective Date" means the date of the first sale by the
                   Company of the Notes.

              iii. "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock
                   issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section
                   9(d)(i)(5)) by the Company after the Effective Date other
                   than:

                   (1)    Common Stock issued in a transaction deemed to be a
                          "liquidation" within the meaning of the Company's
                          Articles of Incorporation in effect as of the
                          Effective Date.

                   (2)    Common Stock issued or issuable to employees,

                          another corporation by merger, purchase of all or

                          by the Board.


10.  Certificate of Adjustment.  Whenever the Warrant Price or the number or
     -------------------------                                              
     type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted or
     readjusted, as herein provided, the Company at its expense shall promptly
     deliver to the record holder of this Warrant a certificate of an officer of
     the Company setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in
     reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
     based, including without limitation a statement of (a) the consideration
     received or to be received by the Company for any Additional Stock issued
     or sold or deemed to have been issued, (b) the number of shares of Common
     Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Warrant Price in
     effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and
     readjusted (if required by Section 9) on account thereof.

                                      -10-

 
11.  No Dilution or Impairment.  The Company covenants that it shall not, by
     -------------------------                                              
     amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
     consolidation, merger, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of
     securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
     observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but shall at
     all times in good faith assist in carrying out all those terms and in
     taking all actions necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the
     holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without
     limiting the generality of the above provision, the Company (a) will not
     take any action which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price then
     in effect if the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other
     securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the
     Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other
     securities) then authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
     available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise, and (b) will take
     all necessary or appropriate action in order that the Company may validly
     and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares upon the exercise of
     this Warrant.

12.  Transfer of Warrant.   The rights and obligations of the Company and the
     -------------------                                                     
     holders of this Warrant shall be binding upon and benefit the successors,
     assignors, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties. Any
     transferee hereof agrees to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein
     and in the Note Agreement.

13.  Compliance with Securities Laws.  This Warrant or the Warrant Stock may not
     -------------------------------                                            
     be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by the holder hereof
     (except to any affiliate hereof) without compliance with applicable federal
     and state securities laws. The holder represents and agrees that this
     Warrant is being acquired only for investment, for holder's own account,
     and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
     thereof within the meaning of the Act, and the holder acknowledges and
     agrees that, at any time that it exercises its Warrant, it will represent,
     among other things, to the Company that the Warrant Stock that it acquires
     through exercise of the Warrant is being acquired by it for its own account
     and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
     thereof within the meaning of the Act; provided, that in any case, the
     disposition of its property shall at all times be and remain within its
     control. The holder of this Warrant acknowledges and agrees that this
     Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act
     and accordingly will not be transferable except as permitted under the
     various exemptions contained in the Securities Act, or upon satisfaction of
     the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
     Act. Therefore, the Warrant and the Warrant Stock must be held indefinitely
     unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
     exemption from such registration is available. The holder understands that
     the certificate evidencing the Warrant Stock will be imprinted with a
     legend which prohibits the transfer of the Warrant Stock unless they are
     registered or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel (which may
     be an opinion of in-house counsel) reasonably satisfactory to the Company
     that such registration is not required. The holder is aware of the adoption
     of Rule 144 by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that Company is
     not now and, at the time it wishes to sell the Warrant Stock, may not be
     satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144 and, in
     such case, holder would be precluded from selling the securities under Rule
     144. The holder understands that a stop-transfer instruction will be in
     effect with respect to transfer of the Warrant and the Warrant Stock
     consistent with the requirements of the securities laws.

                                      -11-

 
14.  Waiver and Amendment.  Any provision of this Warrant may be amended or
     --------------------                                                  
     waived upon the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders,
     and any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon the remaining
     holders of Warrants, except that, without the written consent of the holder
     of each Warrant, no amendment or waiver to this Warrant that increases the
     Warrant Price, changes the Termination Date, changes the number of shares
     purchasable hereunder, changes the method set forth in Sections 8 and 9 for
     calculating adjustments thereto, amends this Section 14, or reduces the
     percentage required for modification, may be made. All holders of Warrants,
     by acceptance hereof, specifically consent to the binding effect of a
     written consent authorized by this Section 14. No failure or delay by any
     party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
     thereof, and a waiver of a particular right or remedy on one occasion shall
     not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy or a waiver of the same
     right or remedy on any subsequent occasion.

15.  Miscellaneous.  This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of
     -------------                                                             
     New York. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of convenience and
     reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.
     Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged
     or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the
     Company and, except as provided in Section 14 hereof, the registered holder
     hereof. All notices and other communications from the Company to the holder
     of this Warrant shall be sent either by facsimile copy to such number and
     to the attention of such person as the last holder of this Warrant shall
     have furnished to the Company, or shall be mailed by first-class registered
     or certified mail, postage prepaid , or sent by courier, to the address
     furnished to the Company in writing by the last holder of this Warrant who
     shall have furnished an address to the Company in writing.
