-------------------
a. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in
part, at any time, or from time to time, during the term hereof as described in
Section 1 above, and such exercise shall be effected by the surrender of this
Warrant, the Notice of Paid Exercise annexed hereto and upon payment of the

to which the Warrant Shares evidenced by this Warrant certificate shall not have
been exercised. This Warrant certificate may be exchanged at the office of the
Company by surrender of this Warrant certificate properly endorsed either
separately or in combination with one or more other Warrant certificates for one
or more new Warrant certificates evidencing the right of the Holder thereof to
purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares as were purchasable upon

but the Company will pay the cash value thereof determined as provided in this
Warrant. This Warrant certificate is transferable at the office of the Company
in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in this Warrant.
d. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by paying the Exercise Price in
cash or by check, Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this

For purposes of this Section 4.d., the fair market value of one share of the
Company's Common Stock as of any date shall be determined as follows:

Market, American Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange, its average closing
price on such market or exchange calculated over the 30 trading days immediately
preceding the date of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal;
-----------------------
(2) if such stock is publicly traded and is then
listed on a national securities exchange, its average closing price calculated
over the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of determination on the
principal national securities exchange on which the stock is listed or admitted
to trading as reported in The Wall Street Journal;
-----------------------
(3) if such stock is publicly traded, but is not
quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market nor listed or admitted to trading on a
national securities exchange, the mean of the average closing bid and asked
prices calculated over the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of
determination as reported in The Wall Street Journal (or, if not so reported, as
-----------------------
otherwise reported by any newspaper or other source as the Board of Directors of
the Company may determine in good faith); or
(4) if none of the foregoing is applicable, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; provided,
however, that if Transpac (as defined below), acting as agent for the Warrant
Holders (as defined below), objects to such determination, then as determined by
an investment banker or accountant mutually acceptable to the Company and
Transpac (as defined below), with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by
Transpac (as defined below).
If the Company's Common Stock is not publicly traded, the Board of Directors
of the Company shall inform the Warrant Holders (as defined below) of its good
faith determination of the fair market value of such Common Stock upon the
written request of any Warrant Holder (as defined below).
e. The Company hereby represents and covenants that the Warrant
Shares (or other securities) received upon exercise of this Warrant are and will
be listed, admitted to
trading or authorized for quotation on any stock market or securities exchange
upon which the Common Stock or any other securities of the Company are then
listed, admitted to trading or authorized for quotation.
5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing
-----------------------------
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of
any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the
Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such
fraction.
6. No Rights of Shareholder. The Holder shall not be entitled to vote or
------------------------
receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other
securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to
confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the
Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter
submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent
to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive
dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been
exercised and the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof
shall have been issued, as provided herein.

c. Compliance with Securities Laws.
-------------------------------
(1) Authorization. Holder has full power and authority to enter into
-------------
this Warrant, and such Warrant constitutes its valid and legally binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(2) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Warrant has been
---------------------------------
purchased by the Holder for such Holder's own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and such Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation

consult its own legal, tax and other advisors, regarding the information
provided and the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant. Holder
represents and warrants that it is prepared to lose its entire interest in this
Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock and has not relied on the
Company or any of the Company's advisors in determining whether to make this
investment in the Company.
(4) Investment Experience. Holder acknowledges that it is able to
fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant and the
underlying shares of Common Stock. Such Holder also represents it has not been
organized for the purpose of acquiring this Warrant.
(5) Accredited Investor.
-------------------
(A) Holder is an "accredited investor" as defined below and
understands the meaning of that term.
(B) The term "accredited investor" as used herein refers to:
(a) Any bank as defined in section 3(a)(2) of the Act, or
any savings and loan association or other institution as defined in section
3(a)(5(A) of the Act whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity; any
broker dealer registered pursuant to section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934; any insurance company as defined in section 2(13) of the Act; any
investment company registered under the Investment Borrower Act of 1940 or any
business development company as defined in section 2(a)(48) of that Act; any
Small Business Investment Borrower licensed by the U.S. Small Business
Administration under section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act
of 1958; any plan established and maintained by a state, its political
subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political
subdivisions, for the
benefit of its employees, if such plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000;
any employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as
defined in section 3(21) of such Act, which is either a bank, savings and loan
association, insurance company, or registered investment adviser, or if the
employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or, if a self-
directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by persons that are
accredited investors;
(b) Any private business development company as defined in
section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
(c) Any organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust, or
partnership, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities
offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;
(d) Any director, executive officer, or general partner of the
issuer of the securities being offered or sold, or any director, executive
officer, or general partner of a general partner of that issuer;
(e) Any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net
worth with that person's spouse, at the time of his purchase exceeds $1,000,000;
(f) Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of
$200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's
spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable
expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year;
(g) Any trust with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose
purchase is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the prospective investment or the issuer believes immediately prior to
making any sale that such person comes within this description; or
(h) Any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited
investors.
As used in this Section, the term "net worth" means the excess of total
assets over total liabilities. For the purpose of determining a person's net
worth, the principal residence owned by an individual should be valued at fair
market value, including the cost of improvements, net of current encumbrances.
As used in this Section, "income" means actual economic income, which may differ
from adjusted gross income for income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Holder
should consider whether it should add any or all of the following items to its
adjusted gross income for
income tax purposes in order to reflect more accurately its actual economic
income: any amounts attributable to tax-exempt income received, losses claimed
as a limited partner in any limited partnership, and deductions claimed for
depletion.
(6) Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that this Warrant
---------------------
and underlying Common Stock it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted
securities" under U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being
acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and
without registration under such laws and applicable regulations and cannot be
resold without registration under the Act, except in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar
with SEC Rule 144, as currently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed on these securities by the Act.
(7) Representations by Foreign Investor. The Holder hereby
-----------------------------------
represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of
its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for this Warrant
and underlying shares of Common Stock, including (i) the legal requirements
within its jurisdiction for the purchase of this Warrant and underlying shares
of Common Stock, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such
purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained,
and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant
to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of this Warrant and
underlying shares of Common Stock. The Holder's subscription and payment for,
and its continued beneficial ownership of this Warrant, will not violate any
applicable securities or other laws of its jurisdiction.
(8) Compliance with Securities Laws. Unless otherwise provided
-------------------------------
herein, without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the
Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of this
Warrant or any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof unless
and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to
be bound by the terms of this Warrant, provided and to the extent such sections
are then applicable, and:
(A) There is then in effect a registration statement under the
Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or
(B) (1) the Holder shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and (2) the
Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration
of such securities under the Act.
8. Legends. This Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issued upon
-------
exercise hereof will bear one or all of the following legends; provided, that if
this Warrant is exercised under Section 4.d. on or after the second anniversary
of the date of issuance of this Warrant, the legend in paragraph (A) below shall

BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE
ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES,

(B) Any legend required by the laws of the State of
California or other applicable authority, including any legend required by the
California Department of Corporations and Sections 417 and 418 of the California

9. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the term
--------------------
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 Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will
take all steps necessary to amend its articles of incorporation to provide
sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that all shares that may be issued upon
the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant, upon exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth
herein, will be free from all taxes, liens, and charges in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
or otherwise specified herein) and will be fully paid and non-assessable. 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 Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant.
10. Amendments and Waivers.
----------------------
a. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
b. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or
provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be,
or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or
provision.
11. Adjustments. The number of shares purchasable hereunder are
-----------
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
a. Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time, while this
---------------------------
Warrant, or any portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i)
a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or
subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger (other than
a mere reincorporation merger where the subsidiary or affiliate of the Company
used to effectuate the reincorporation merger assumes all of the Company's
obligations under this Warrant) or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a
merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the
Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are
converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash, or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company's
properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person,
then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer,
lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the
period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect or
by net exercise pursuant to Section 4.d., the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer which a holder of the
shares deliverable upon such exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled
to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, if
this Warrant had been exercised immediately before the consummation of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 11. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 11(a) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of
any other corporation which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares
in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or
marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined
in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors)
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect
to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that
the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as
reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after
that event upon exercise of this Warrant.
b. Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time while this
---------------------
Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall, by
reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to
which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different
number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall
thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as
would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
immediately prior to such reclassification or other change, and the Exercise
Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 11.
c. Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company
-------------------------------------------
at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and
unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase
rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the
same class, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such
number of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change
with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under
this Warrant immediately prior to such change, and the Exercise Price for such
securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or
subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.
d. Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or
---------------------------------------------------------
Property. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and
- --------
unexpired the holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this
Warrant exist at the time 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 stock or other
securities or property of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case,
this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of
shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without
payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or
additional stock or other securities or property of the Company which such
holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record
of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant 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 stock
available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all
adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11.
e. Prior Notice of Certain Events. The Company will provide
------------------------------
Holder with notice of any merger, asset sale or dividend not less than ten (10)
business days prior to the record date for such event.
12. Registration of Warrant Shares.
------------------------------
a. Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do
--------------------
so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration
effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Warrant Holders (as
defined below)) any of its common stock under the Act in connection with the
public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration
relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock
plan or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being
registered), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Warrant Holder
thirty (30) days prior written notice of such registration. Upon the written
request of each Warrant Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of
notice of such registration by the Company in accordance with Section 13.b., the
Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 12.d., at the Company's
expense, cause to be registered under the Act all of the Warrant Shares that
each Warrant Holder has requested to be registered.
b. Demand Registration. Beginning April 24, 1999, Holders of at
-------------------
least 50% of the Warrant Shares issued or issuable pursuant to all of the
Warrants issued in connection
with to the Restructuring, Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the
"Settlement Agreement") dated April 24, 1998 by and among the Company, Transpac
Capital Pte Ltd ("Transpac"), Transpac Industrial Holdings Ltd, Regional
Investment Company Ltd and Natsteel Equity III Pte Ltd (the "Warrant Holders")
shall have the right to request the filing of a registration statement on Form
S-3 but if the use of Form S-3 is not then available, then on such other Form(s)
as may be available to sell the Warrant Shares (and all subsequent references
herein to Form S-3 shall be deemed to be references to such other Form(s) as
well unless expressly provided otherwise) (such requests shall be in writing and
shall state the number of shares of Warrant Shares to be disposed of and the
intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders);
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities
of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell
Warrant Shares and such other securities (if any) on Form S-3 at an aggregate
price to the public of less than $1,000,000, (provided that such $1,000,000
minimum shall not apply if the Warrant Holders represent in writing to the
Company that they intend to dispose of at least 250,000 Warrant Shares) or (ii)
after the Company has effected one (1) such registration pursuant to such a
request of the Holders.
c. Company Obligations. In the case of each registration
-------------------
effected by the Company pursuant to Section 12.b., the Company will keep each
Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to
the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will use its best efforts
to:
(1) File such S-3 registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission within 45 days of receipt of a request pursuant to
Section 12.b. and, to the extent practicable, cause such registration statement
to be declared effective within 45 days of such request. In the event that such
registration statement is not on Form S-3, then the 45 day periods set forth in
the immediately preceding sentence shall be extended to 90 days.
(2) Keep the registration statement effective for one year
after the effective date of such registration statement;
(3) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement;
(4) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents
incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as
a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;
(5) Notify each seller of Warrant Shares covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements
therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then
existing, and shall promptly prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission either a supplement to such prospectus or amendment to such
registration statement or a filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "1934 Act"), which is incorporated by reference into such
registration statement (and in the case of an amendment to such registration
statement use its best efforts to cause such amendment to become effective as
soon as possible), as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to
purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete
in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such
seller, shall furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of such
supplement, amendment or filing under the 1934 Act;
(6) Cause all such Warrant Shares registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed.
d. Limiting Provisions.
-------------------
(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.a., if the
Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting inclusion in a registration
statement pursuant to Section 12.a., a certificate signed by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company, it would be detrimental to the Company and its
shareholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore
essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall
have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period
of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request for such registration;
provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in
any twelve-month period.
(2) In connection with any offering involving an
underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company shall not be
required under Section 12.a., to include any of the Warrant Shares in such
underwriting, unless the Warrant Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as
agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other
persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as
the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not, jeopardize the
success of the offering or have a material adverse effect on the price of or
market for the Company's capital stock. If the total amount of securities,
including Warrant Shares, requested by shareholders to be included in such
offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold (other than by the Company)
that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the
success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the
offering only that number of such securities, including Warrant Shares, which
the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the
