writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which

---------------------------
company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of the Warrants
pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers

that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as
of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within 10 days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the holder hereof, or as such holder (upon payment by such
holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with
applicable Securities Laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) to which such holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus,
in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be
entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value

upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

official bank check or checks payable to the order of the Company equal to the
applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) by delivery of Warrants, Common Stock
and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
Section (b) below, or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods)
for the number of Common Shares specified in such form (as such exercise number
shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the
holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) determined as provided herein.
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase
Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising
this Warrant for cash the holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value
(as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled)
by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together
with the properly endorsed Subscription Form in which event the Company shall
issue to the holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
---
A
--------
Where X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
holder
Y= the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the
Warrant or,
3
<PAGE>
if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the
portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such
calculation)
A= the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common
Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B= Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
---------------------------------------------------------
3.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time
------------------------------------------
or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the holder of this
Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such
holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to
further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company
-----------
following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets,
the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to
be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrants after the effective date
of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company having
its principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the holder or holders of
the Warrants.
3.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation,
---------------------
merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in
this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the
terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of
dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be
binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the
case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the
event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such
event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrants be delivered to the
Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the
-------------------------------------------
Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase
4
<PAGE>
Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in
the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described
herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder
of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section
1, be entitled to receive shall be increased to a number determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for
the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of
which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the
provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the
Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or
-----------------------------
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial
---------------------------------------------------------------------

financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the

delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been granted
