<PAGE>
Page 58 of 87 Pages
to the Expiration Date upon delivery to the Company at the principal executive
office of the Company in the United States of America, of (A) this Warrant
Certificate, (B) a written notice stating that such Holder elects to exercise
the Warrants evidenced hereby in accordance with the provisions of this Section
1 and specifying the number of Warrants being exercised and the name or names in
which the Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common
Stock to be issued and (C) payment of the Exercise Price for such Warrants,
which shall be payable by any one or any combination of the following: (i) cash;
(ii) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company; (iii)
by the surrender (which surrender shall be evidenced by cancellation of the
number of Warrants represented by any Warrant Certificate presented in
connection with a Cashless Exercise (as defined below)) of a Warrant or Warrants
(represented by one or more relevant Warrant Certificates), and without the
payment of the Exercise Price in cash, in return for the delivery to the
surrendering Holder of such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number
of shares of the Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable as of the
date of exercise (if the Exercise Price were being paid in cash or certified or
official bank check) reduced by that number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Exercise Price (assuming no
Cashless Exercise) to be paid by (y) the Market Price of one Share of Common
Stock on the Business Day which immediately precedes the day of exercise of the
Warrant; or (iv) by the delivery of shares of the Common Stock having a value
(as defined by the next sentence) equal to the aggregate Exercise Price to be
paid, that are either held by the Holder or are acquired in connection with such
exercise, and without payment of the Exercise Price in cash. Any share of Common
Stock delivered as payment for the Exercise Price in connection with an In-Kind
Exercise (as defined below) shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Market
Price of one Share of Common Stock on the Business Day which immediately
precedes the day of exercise of the Warrants. An exercise of a Warrant in
accordance with clause (iii) is herein referred to as a "Cashless Exercise" and
------------------
an exercise of a Warrant in accordance with clause (iv) is herein referred to as
an "In-Kind Exercise." The documentation and consideration, if any, delivered in
----------------
accordance with subsections (A), (B) and (C) are collectively referred to herein
as the "Warrant Exercise Documentation."
------------------------------
(b) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Warrant Exercise Documentation, the
Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered (A) certificates representing the
number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
specified in the Warrant Exercise Documentation, (B) if applicable, cash in lieu
of any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided, and (C) if less than the
full number of Warrants evidenced hereby are being exercised or used in a
Cashless Exercise, a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates, of like tenor, for
the number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, less the number of
Warrants then being exercised and/or used in a Cashless Exercise. Such exercise
shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of
delivery of the Warrant Exercise Documentation so that the Person entitled to
receive shares of Common Stock upon such exercise shall be treated for all
purposes as having become the record holder of such shares of Common Stock at
such time.

(c) The Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the
Company in connection with and taxes and other governmental charges (other than
income taxes of the Holder) that may be imposed in respect of, the issue or
delivery of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants evidenced hereby. The Company shall not be required, however, to pay
any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the
issue of any certificate for shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, in any
name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant evidenced hereby.
(d) In connection with the exercise of any Warrants
evidenced hereby, no fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued, but in
lieu thereof the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
fractional interest in an amount equal to such fractional interest multiplied by
the Market Price for one Share of Common Stock on the Business Day which
immediately precedes the day of exercise. If more than one (1) such Warrant
shall be exercised by the holder thereof at the same time, the number of full
shares of Common Stock issuable on such exercise shall be computed on the basis
of the total number of Warrants so exercised.
Section 2. Certain Adjustments.
-------------------
(a) The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment as follows:
(i) Stock Dividends, Subdivision, Combination or
--------------------------------------------------
Reclassification of Common Stock. If at any time after the date of the issuance
---------------------------------
of this Warrant the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on Common Stock in shares
of its capital stock, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
as the case may be, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then, on the record date for
such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision or split-up, combination
or reclassification, as the case may be, the number and kind of shares to be
delivered upon exercise of this Warrant will be adjusted so that the Holder will
be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of capital stock that such
Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such
event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto, and the
Exercise Price will be adjusted as provided below in paragraph 2(a)(v).
(ii) Extraordinary Distributions. If at any time after
---------------------------
the date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall distribute to all
holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with
a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation and Common Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of
indebtedness, securities or other assets (excluding (i) ordinary course cash
dividends to the extent such dividends do not exceed the Company's retained
earnings and (ii) dividends payable in shares of capital stock for which
adjustment is made under Section 2(a)(i) or rights, options or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company), then in each such case the
<PAGE>
Page 60 of 87 Pages
number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to such Holder upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased so that the Holder thereafter shall be entitled
to receive the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the
number of shares such Holder would have been entitled to receive immediately
before such record date by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the
Exercise Price on such record date minus the then fair market value (as
reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) of
the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other assets
so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of the
Common Stock (provided that such denominator shall in no event be less than
$.01) and the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price.
(iii)Reorganization, etc. If at any time after the
--------------------
date of issuance of this Warrant any consolidation of the Company with or merger
of the Company with or into any other Person (other than a merger or
consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation
and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a
change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to
par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding
shares of either Common Stock) or any sale, lease or other transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person (each, a
"Reorganization Event"), shall be effected in such a way that the holders of the
--------------------
Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, other securities or
assets (whether such cash, stock, other securities or assets are issued or
distributed by the Company or another Person) with respect to or in exchange for
the Common Stock, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the
right to receive the kind and amount of cash, stock, other securities or assets
receivable upon such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of
the Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised immediately before such
Reorganization Event, subject to adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent
as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2(a). The
Company shall not enter into any of the transactions referred to in this Section
2(a)(iii) unless effective provision shall be made so as to give effect to the
provisions set forth in this Section 2(a)(iii).
(iv) Carryover. Notwithstanding any other provision of
---------
this Section 2(a), no adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of either
Common Stock to be delivered to the Holder (or to the Exercise Price) if such
adjustment represents less than .05% of the number of shares to be so delivered,
but any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next subsequent adjustment that together with any
adjustments so carried forward shall amount to .05% or more of the number of
shares to be so delivered.
(v) Exercise Price Adjustment. Whenever the Number
---------------------------
Issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant is adjusted as provided pursuant to
this Section 2(a), the Exercise Price per share payable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately
prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
Number Issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the Number Issuable
immediately thereafter; provided, however, that the Exercise Price for each
Share of the Common Stock shall in no event be less than the par value of a
share of such Common Stock.
<PAGE>
Page 61 of 87 Pages
(b) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Number Issuable
or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall promptly mail by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, notice
of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth
the Number Issuable and the Exercise Price after
such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting
forth the computation by which such adjustment was
made.
Section 3.No Redemption. The Company shall not have any
--------------
right to redeem any of the Warrants evidenced hereby.
Section 4.Notice of Certain Events. In case at any time or
-------------------------
from time to time (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or any other
distribution to the holders of Common Stock, (ii) the Company shall authorize
the granting to the holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any additional shares of stock of any class or any other right,
(iii) the Company shall authorize the issuance or sale of any other shares or
rights which would result in an adjustment to the Number Issuable pursuant to
Section 2(a)(i), (ii), or (iii), or (iv) there shall be any capital
reorganization or reclassification of Common Stock of the Company or
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or any sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or
(v) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company, then, in any one or more of such cases the Company
shall mail to the Holder at such Holder's address as it appears on the transfer
books of the Company, as promptly as practicable but in any event at least 10
days prior to the date on which the transactions contemplated in Section
2(a)(i), (ii), or (iii), a notice stating (a) the date on which a record is to
be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants or,
if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record of
either Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or
warrants are to be determined, or (b) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up
is expected to become effective. Such notice also shall specify the date as of
which it is expected that the holders of record of the Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange the Common Stock for shares of stock or other securities or
property or cash deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
