This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, at any
time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date, by surrendering to the
Company at its principal office this Warrant, with the form of Election to
Purchase Shares attached hereto as Exhibit A (or a reasonable facsimile thereof)
duly executed by the Holder and accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price for
the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such form.

                  (b) Payment of the Purchase Price may be made as follows (or
by any combination of the following): (i) in United States currency by cash or
delivery of a certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company
or by wire transfer to the Company, (ii) by cancellation of such number of the
shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Holder upon such exercise as
shall be specified in such Election to Purchase Shares, such that the excess of
the Current Market Price of such specified number of shares on the date of
exercise over the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to such shares
shall equal the Purchase Price attributable to the shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon such exercise, in which case such amount shall be deemed to have
been paid to the Company and the number of shares issuable upon such exercise
shall be reduced by such specified number, or (iii) by surrender to the Company
for cancellation certificates representing shares of Common Stock of the Company
owned by the Holder (properly endorsed for transfer in blank) having a Current
Market Price on the date of Warrant exercise equal to the Purchase Price.

                  2.2. Mandatory Exercise. Upon no less than 30 days prior
written notice to the Holder, the Company may elect by written notice to the
Holder to accelerate the Expiration Date to the date of consummation of a Major
Transaction (as defined in the Note) provided that the consideration per share
of Common Stock to be received in any such Major Transaction is greater than the
then applicable Purchase Price.

                  2.3. When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business
on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to, and
the Purchase Price shall have been received by, the Company as provided in
Section 2.1, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
shall be 


                                       5
   6

issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2.4 shall be deemed to have
become the holder or holders of record thereof for all purposes.

                  2.4. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc.; Charges, Taxes and
Expenses.

                  (a) As soon as practicable after each exercise of this
         Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within 3 Business Days
         thereafter, the Company shall cause to be issued in the name of and
         delivered to the Holder hereof or, subject to the Registration Rights
         Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, as the Holder may direct,

                           (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of
                  shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the
                  Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of
                  issuance of any fractional share to which the Holder would
                  otherwise be entitled, if any, a check for the amount of cash
                  equal to the same fraction multiplied by the Current Market
                  Price per share on the date of Warrant exercise, and

                           (ii) in case such exercise is for less than all of
                  the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, a
                  new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, for the balance of the
                  shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.

                  (b) Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon
         the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder
         hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense, in
         respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which such taxes
         and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

                  2.5. Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company shall, at
the time of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder
hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such
Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if the
Holder of this Warrant shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall
not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to the
Holder.

                  3. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.

                  3.1. Adjustment of Purchase Price.

                  3.1.1. Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In case
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue
or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3 but excluding
Additional Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of Rights referred
to in Section 3.9) without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale,
then, and in each such case, subject to Section 3.7, the Purchase Price shall be
reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price (calculated to the
nearest .001 of a cent) determined by multiplying such Purchase Price by a
fraction

                                       6
   7

                  (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number
         of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
         or sale and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the
         aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of
         such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase
         at such Current Market Price, and

                  (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
         Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, provided
         that, for the purposes of this Section 3.1.1, (x) immediately after any
         Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued
         pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3, such Additional Shares shall be deemed
         to be outstanding, and (y) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
         outstanding.

                  3.1.2. Extraordinary Dividends and Distributions. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare,
order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (including, without
limitation, any distribution of other or additional stock or other securities or
property or Options by way of dividend or spin-off, reclassification,
recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement) on the Common Stock then,
in each such case, subject to Section 3.7, the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the
determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business
on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Purchase Price by
a fraction

                  (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price
         in effect on such record date or, if the Common Stock trades on an
         ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend
         trading, less the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution
         applicable to one share of Common Stock, and

                  (y) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market
Price.

                  3.2. Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities. In case
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue,
sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities of the Company entitled to receive, any
Options or Convertible Securities (whether or not the rights thereunder are
immediately exercisable), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating
thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the
case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of
Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or,
in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on
such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the
date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), provided that such
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless
(i) the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3.4) of such
shares would be less than the Current Market Price in effect on the date of and
immediately 


                                       7
   8

prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close
of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an
ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend
trading), as the case may be and (ii) such Additional Shares of Common Stock are
not purchasable pursuant to Rights referred to in Section 3.9, and provided,
further, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are
deemed to be issued

                  (a) whether or not the Additional Shares of Common Stock
         underlying such Options or Convertible Securities are deemed to be
         issued, no further adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon
         the subsequent issue or sale of Convertible Securities or shares of
         Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
         exchange of such Convertible Securities;

                  (b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
         provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the
         consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of
         Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise,
         conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the
         Purchase Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or
         assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date, or date
         prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the case may be,
         with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon,
         shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be
         recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects
         such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
         Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;

                  (c) upon the expiration (or purchase by the Company and
         cancellation or retirement) of any such Options which shall not have
         been exercised or the expiration of any rights of conversion or
         exchange under any such Convertible Securities which (or purchase by
         the Company and cancellation or retirement of any such Convertible
         Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under which) shall not
         have been exercised, the Purchase Price computed upon the original
         issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the
         record date, or date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading,
         as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any subsequent
         adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration (or such
         cancellation or retirement, as the case may be), be recomputed as if:

                           (i) in the case of Options for Common Stock or
                  Convertible Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common
                  Stock issued or sold were the Additional Shares of Common
                  Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of
                  such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
                  Securities and the consideration received therefor was the
                  consideration actually received by the Company for the issue,
                  sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not
                  exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the
                  Company upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale of all
                  such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or
                  exchanged, plus the additional 




                                       8

                  consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon
                  such conversion or exchange, and

                           (ii) in the case of Options for Convertible
                  Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually
                  issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options were issued
                  at the time of the issue or sale, grant or assumption of such
                  Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the
                  Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have then been
                  issued was the consideration actually received by the Company
                  for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options,
                  whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to
                  have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section 3.4)
                  upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with
                  respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

                  (d) no readjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) above
         shall have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price by an amount in
         excess of the amount of the adjustment thereof originally made in
         respect of the issue, sale, grant or assumption of such Options or
         Convertible Securities; and

                  (e) in the case of any such Options which expire by their
         terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue, sale, grant or
         assumption thereof, no adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made
         until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such
         adjustment shall be made in the manner provided in subdivision (c)
         above.

                  3.3. Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In case
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare
or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect
a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a
dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, Additional Shares of
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued (a) in the case of any such
dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the
determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such
dividend, or (b) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business
on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes
effective.

                  3.4. Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this
Section 3,

                  (a) the consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional
         Shares of Common Stock shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment
         of such consideration,

                           (i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at
                  the net amount of cash received by the Company, without
                  deducting any expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any
                  commissions or compensations paid or concessions or discounts
                  allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar
                  services in connection with such issue or sale,



                                       9
   10

                           (ii) insofar as it consists of property (including
                  securities) other than cash, be computed at the Fair Value
                  thereof at the time of such issue or sale, and

                           (iii) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are
                  issued or sold together with other stock or securities or
                  other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers
                  both, be the portion of such consideration so received,
                  computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable
                  to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, such allocation to
                  be determined in the same manner that the Fair Value of
                  property not consisting of cash or securities is to be
                  determined as provided in the definition of 'Fair Value'
                  herein;

                  (b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
         issued pursuant to Section 3.2, relating to Options and Convertible
         Securities, shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per
         share determined by dividing

                           (i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable
                  by the Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or
                  assumption of the Options or Convertible Securities in
                  question, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
                  consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating
                  thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for
                  a subsequent adjustment of such consideration to protect
                  against dilution) payable to the Company upon the exercise in
                  full of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
                  Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for
                  Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for
                  Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such
                  Convertible Securities, in each case computing such
                  consideration as provided in the foregoing subdivision (a),

                  by

                           (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as
                  set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard
                  to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment
                  of such number to protect against dilution) issuable upon the
                  exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
                  Convertible Securities; and

                  (c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
         issued pursuant to Section 3.3, relating to stock dividends, stock
         splits, etc., shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.

                  3.5. Adjustments for Combinations, etc. In case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or
consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or
consolidation, be proportionately increased.


                                       10
   11

                  3.6. Dilution in Case of Other Securities. In case any Other
Securities shall be issued or sold or shall become subject to issue or sale upon
the conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other Securities) of the Company (or
any issuer of Other Securities or any other Person referred to in Section 4) or
to subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any Options issued or
granted by the Company (or any such other issuer or Person) for a consideration
such as to dilute, on a basis consistent with the standards established in the
other provisions of this Section 3, the purchase rights granted by this Warrant,
then, and in each such case, the computations, adjustments and readjustments
provided for in this Section 3 with respect to the Purchase Price and the number
of shares purchasable upon Warrant exercise shall be made as nearly as possible
in the manner so provided and applied to determine the amount of Other
Securities from time to time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants, so as
to protect the holders of the Warrants against the effect of such dilution.

                  3.7. De Minimis Adjustments. If the amount of any adjustment
of the Purchase Price per share required pursuant to this Section 3 would be
less than $.01 such amount shall be carried forward and adjustment with respect
thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which,
together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward,
shall aggregate a change in the Purchase Price of at least $.01 per share. All
calculations under this Warrant shall be made to the nearest .001 of a cent or
to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

                  3.8. Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If the Company shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them to receive a dividend or other distribution (which results in an adjustment
to the Purchase Price under the terms of this Warrant) and shall, thereafter,
and before such dividend or distribution is paid or delivered to shareholders
entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or
distribution, then any adjustment made to the Purchase Price and number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon Warrant exercise by reason of the taking
of such record shall be reversed, and any subsequent adjustments, based thereon,
shall be recomputed.

                  3.9. Shareholder Rights Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that the Company shall distribute "poison pill" rights pursuant to
a "poison pill" shareholder rights plan (the "Rights"), the Company shall, in
lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to Section 3.1.1 or Section 3.1.2 hereof,
make proper provision so that each Holder who exercises a Warrant after the
record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of
the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of Rights to be
determined as follows: (i) if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date for
the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing
such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a
holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise at the time of such exercise would be
entitled in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the
Rights; and (ii) if such exercise occurs after the Distribution Date, the same
number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares into which the
Warrant so exercised was exercisable immediately prior to the Distribution Date


                                       11
   12

would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms
and provisions of and applicable to the Rights.

                  3.10. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of
the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made in this Section 3, this
Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to receive, at the adjusted Purchase
Price, that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest
one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product of the aggregate number of
shares covered by this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase
Price by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of
the Purchase Price.

                  4. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.

                  4.1. Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets,
Reorganization, etc. In case the Company after the date hereof (a) shall
consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing
or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) shall permit
any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company
shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, the Common Stock or Other Securities shall be changed
into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or
any other property, or (c) shall transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) shall effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Securities
(other than a capital reorganization or reclassification resulting in the issue
of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which adjustment in the Purchase Price
is provided in Section 3.1.1 or Section 3.1.2), then, and in the case of each
such transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the
terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant,
upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such transaction,
shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Purchase Price in effect at the
time of such consummation for all Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon
such exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of the Common
Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the highest amount of securities, cash or other property to which
such Holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder upon such
consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior
thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly
equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Sections 3 through 5,
provided that if a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to
and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, and if the Holder so designates in a notice given to the Company on or
before the date immediately preceding the date of the consummation of such
transaction, the Holder of such Warrants shall be entitled to receive the
highest amount of securities, cash or other property to which it would actually
have been entitled as a shareholder if the Holder of such Warrants had exercised
such Warrants prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer
and accepted such offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation
of such purchase, tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to
the adjustments provided for in Sections 3 through 5.

                                       12
   13

                  4.2. Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
contained in the Warrants or in the Exchange Agreement to the contrary, the
Company shall not effect any of the transactions described in clauses (a)
through (d) of Section 4.1 unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each
Person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any stock,
securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided
herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (a) the obligations of the Company
under the Exchange Agreement and the Warrants (and if the Company shall survive
the consummation of such transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to,
and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the
Company under this Warrant), (b) the obligations of the Company under the
Exchange Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement and (c) the
obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or
property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the
Holder may be entitled to receive. Nothing in this Section 4 shall be deemed to
authorize the Company to enter into any transaction not otherwise permitted by
the Exchange Agreement.

                  5. OTHER DILUTIVE EVENTS. In case any event shall occur as to
which the provisions of Section 3 or Section 4 hereof are not strictly
applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase
rights of the Holder in accordance with the essential intent and principles of
such Sections, then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the Company
shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance
with such essential intent and principles, so as to preserve, without dilution,
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant.

                  6. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by
amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation,
merger, reorganization, 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 will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall not permit the
par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to
exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) shall take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock, free from all
taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, preemptive rights and charges on
the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding, (c) shall not take
any action which results in any adjustment of the Purchase Price 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
certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue upon such
exercise, and (d) shall not issue any capital stock of any class which is
preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, unless the rights of the
holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value or a
sum determined by reference to a formula based on a published index of interest
rates, an interest rate publicly 


                                       13
   14

announced by a financial institution or a similar indicator of interest rates in
respect of participation in dividends and to a fixed sum or percentage of par
value in any such distribution of assets.

                  7. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant and prepare a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board,
President or one of the Vice Presidents of the Company, and by the Chief
Financial Officer, the Treasurer or one of the Assistant Treasurers of the
Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable
detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or to be received by the Company for any Additional
Shares of Common 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 Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as
adjusted and readjusted (if required by Section 3) on account thereof. The
Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to each holder of a
Warrant and shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of a
Warrant, furnish to such holder a like certificate. The Company shall also keep
copies of all such certificates at its principal office and shall cause the same
to be available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by
any holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by
the holder thereof. The Company shall, upon the request in writing of the Holder
(at the Company's expense), retain independent public accountants of recognized
national standing selected by the Board of Directors of the Company to make any
computation required in connection with adjustments under this Warrant, and a
certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness
of such adjustment, which shall be binding on the Holder and the Company.

                  8. NOTICES OF CORPORATE ACTION. In the event of:

                  (a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of
         any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
         thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend payable otherwise than
         out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles (other than a regularly
         scheduled cash dividend payable out of consolidated earnings or earned
         surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles, in an amount not exceeding the amount of the immediately
         preceding cash dividend for such period) or other distribution, or any
         right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of
         stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
         any other right, or

                  (b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any
         reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
         Company, any consolidation or merger involving the Company and any
         other Person, any transaction or series of transactions in which more
         than 50% of the voting securities of the Company are transferred to
         another



                                       14
   15

         Person, or any transfer, sale or other disposition of all or 
         substantially all the assets of the Company to any other Person, or

                  (c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
         winding-up of the Company,

the Company shall mail to each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) the
date or expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, sale, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take
place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for the securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the date
therein specified.

                  9. REGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK. If any shares of Common Stock
required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (other than the Securities Act) before such shares may be issued upon
exercise, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible,
use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as
the case may be. At any such time as Common Stock is listed on any national
securities exchange, the Company shall, at its expense, obtain promptly and
maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange, upon official notice of
issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the then
outstanding Warrants and maintain the listing of such shares after their
issuance; and the Company shall also list on such national securities exchange,
shall register under the Exchange Act and shall maintain such listing of, any
Other Securities that at any time are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, if
and at the time that any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
national securities exchange by the Company.

                  10. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of
the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from
time to time issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of any
Warrants shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be
validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable with no
liability on the part of the holders thereof, and, in the case of all
securities, shall be free from all taxes, liens, security interests,
encumbrances, preemptive rights and charges. The transfer agent for the Common
Stock, which may be the Company ("Transfer Agent"), and every subsequent
Transfer Agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the
exercise of any of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, are hereby
irrevocably authorized and directed at all times until the Expiration Date to
reserve such number of authorized and unissued shares as shall be requisite for
such purpose. The Company shall keep copies of this Warrant on file with the
Transfer Agent for the Common Stock and with 



                                       15
   16

every subsequent Transfer Agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock
issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this
Warrant. The Company shall supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed stock
certificates for such purpose. All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon the
exercise of the rights thereby evidenced shall be canceled, and such canceled
Warrants shall constitute sufficient evidence of the number of shares of stock
which have been issued upon the exercise of such Warrants. Subsequent to the
Expiration Date, no shares of stock need be reserved in respect of any
unexercised Warrant.

                  11. REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANTS, ETC.

                  11.1. Warrant Register; Ownership of Warrants. Each Warrant
issued by the Company shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant
register (the "Warrant Register") as it is issued and transferred, which Warrant
Register shall be maintained by the Company at its principal office or, at the
Company's election and expense, by a Warrant Agent or the Company's transfer
agent. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered Holder of any
Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes
and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest
in such Warrant on the part of any other Person, and shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant is properly
assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the
bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for all purposes. A Warrant, if
properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first
having been issued.

                  11.2. Transfer of Warrants. This Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder
hereof, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Form of
Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B at the principal office of the Company
together with an opinion of counsel, in generally acceptable form, to the effect
that such Warrant may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933. Upon any partial transfer, the Company shall
at its expense issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in
the name of the Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which rights under this Warrant were not so
transferred.

                  11.3. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender of such Warrant to the Company at its principal office
and cancellation thereof, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver,
in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

                  11.4. Adjustments To Purchase Price and Number of Shares.
Notwithstanding any adjustment in the Purchase Price or in the number or kind of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, any Warrant
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number and

                  11.5. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any adjustment
pursuant to Section 3 in the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this
Warrant or any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall not be
required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or to
distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional
shares, the Company shall make payment to the Holder, at the time of exercise of
this Warrant as herein provided, in an amount in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of
Warrant exercise.

                  12. REMEDIES; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company stipulates
that there would be no adequate remedy at law to the Holder of this Warrant in
the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance
of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant and accordingly, the
Company agrees that, in addition to any other remedy to which the Holder may be
entitled at law or in equity, the Holder shall be entitled to seek to compel
specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant,
without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Warrant in any court of the United States or any State thereof having
jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of
the provisions of this Warrant, the Company shall not raise the defense that
there is an adequate remedy at law. Except as otherwise provided by law, a delay
or omission by the Holder hereto in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon
any such breach shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
or acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other
remedy. All available remedies shall be cumulative.

                  13. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER. Nothing contained
in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof any
rights as a shareholder of the Company or as imposing any obligation on the
Holder to purchase any securities or as imposing any liabilities on the Holder
as a shareholder of the Company, whether such obligation or liabilities are
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

                  14. NOTICES. All notices and other communications (and
deliveries) provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand
delivery, telecopier, any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery or first class
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
addressed (a) if to the Company, to the attention of its President at its
principal office located at 5966 La Place Court, Carlsbad, CA 92008 or such
other address as may hereafter be designated in writing by the Company to the
Holder in accordance with the provisions of this Section, or (b) if to the
Holder, at its address as it appears in the Warrant Register.

                  All such notices and communications (and deliveries) shall be
deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally
delivered; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; on the next Business
Day, if timely delivered to a courier guaranteeing overnight delivery; and five
days after being deposited in the mail, if sent first class or certified mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid; provided, that the exercise of any
Warrant shall be effective in the manner provided in Section 2.

                  15. AMENDMENTS. This Warrant and any term hereof may not be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, and waivers or consents to
departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by written
instrument duly executed by the party against which enforcement of such
amendment, modification, supplement, termination or consent to departure is
sought.

                  16. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS, ETC. The headings in this Warrant
are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect

brought against the Company with respect to this Warrant may be brought in any
federal or any state court located in Delaware, and by execution and delivery of
this Warrant, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any
claim (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise) of improper venue, that it
is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such courts
are an inconvenient forum or that this Warrant or the subject matter may not be
enforced in or by such court. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any
such action, suit or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address set forth or provided for in
Section 14, such service to become effective 10 days after such mailing. Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve
process in any manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or
otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction to enforce
judgments obtained in any action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this
Section. The Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
aforementioned courts in such action, suit or proceeding.
