                             PURCHASEPRO.COM, INC.

In consideration of the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) previously paid to

shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the
"Warrant Shares") as set forth in Section 2 below and at a purchase price per
share (the "Exercise Price") as set forth in Section 2 below.  The term
"Warrant" as used herein shall mean this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in
substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

1.   Term of Warrant; Purpose; Vesting.
     ---------------------------------

     (a)       Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this
               Warrant shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions
               contained in Section 3 hereof until 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, May
               15, 2002 (the "Exercise Period"), and shall be void thereafter.

     (b)       This Warrant is issued as payment for the performance by the
               initial Holder under a Training and Marketing Services Agreement
               between the Company and initial Holder, dated September 29, 2000
               ("Agreement") pursuant to which the initial Holder has agreed to
               perform certain Training Services and Marketing Services for the
               Company, as such terms are defined in the Agreement. This Warrant
               is referred to in the Agreement as the Marketplace Warrant.

     (c)       The right to purchase Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant
               shall vest and become exercisable during the Exercise Period in

<PAGE>

               following schedule: for each eighty dollars ($80.00) in Qualified
               Revenue (defined below) recorded by the Company during the
               Exercise Period, one Warrant Share shall vest hereunder. All
               amounts under this Section 1(c) shall be determined reasonably by
               the Company in good faith, as evidenced by its periodic reports
               filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to
               time during the Exercise Period on Forms 10-K and 10-Q (and any
               amendments thereto).

     (d)       For purposes of determining the number of Warrant Shares vesting
               pursuant to Section 1(c), the term "Qualified Revenue" shall
               refer to all revenue recorded by the Company beginning October 1,
               2000 and continuing through March 31, 2002, using generally
               accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, as revenue
               received by PurchasePro under the revenue sharing arrangement set
               forth under the heading "Transaction Fee Revenue Sharing" in
               Exhibit A to the e-Marketplace Professional Services Agreement
               dated on or about the date hereof and or pursuant to Professional
               Services Agreements entered into between the Company and the
               initial Holder in connection with Software License Agreements
               listed as items 6 and 7 on Exhibit A.

     (e)       The vesting calculation under Section 1(c) shall be calculated
               each consecutive fiscal quarter of the Company, beginning with
               the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2000 and ending with the
               fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2002. This Warrant shall become
               exercisable as to the Warrant Shares vesting pursuant to Section
               1(c) on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which Holder has
               earned the vesting of all Warrant Shares subject to Section 1(c).
               The Company shall provide Holder with written notice within 45
               days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the number of
               Warrant Shares vesting during such fiscal quarter under Section
               1(c).


2.   Number of Shares, Exercise Price.

     (a)       This Warrant shall be exercisable for up to five hundred thousand
               (500,000) shares of common stock of the Company vested in
               accordance with Section 1(c).

     (b)       Warrant Shares vested pursuant to Section 1(c) shall be
               exercisable at any exercise price equal to $59.50 per share (the
               "Exercise Price"), as adjusted to reflect any stock dividend,

<PAGE>

     (a)       This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder by the surrender of
               this Warrant to the Company, with the Notice of Exercise annexed
               hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at
               the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
               Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at
               the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company)
               during the Exercise Period and: (x) the delivery of payment to
               the Company, for the account of the Company, by cash, wire
               transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account
               specified by the Company, or by certified or bank cashier's
               check, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares
               specified in the Exercise Form in lawful money of the United
               States of America or (y) pursuant to a net issuance election in
               accordance with Section 3(b) hereof. The number of Warrant Shares
               shall be adjusted to reflect any cash or stock dividend, stock
               split or other conversion of the number of shares of the Company
               into a different number of shares, however denominated as
               provided in Exhibit B attached hereto.

     (b)       In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), the
               Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of
               any additional consideration, shares equal to the value of this
               Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or
               such portion to the Company, with the Net Issue Election Notice
               annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company.
               Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of
               fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is
               computed using the following formula:

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

               where

               X =     the number of shares to be issued to the Holder
                       pursuant this to Section 3(b).

               Y =     the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
                       under this Warrant (as adjusted to the date of such
                       calculation).

               A =     the closing stock price of one share of the Company's
                       common stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market
                       the business day immediately prior to the Exercise
                       Date (as defined below).

               B =     the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant at the
                       time the net issue election is made pursuant to this
                       Section 3(b).

                       This Warrant shall automatically by deemed to be
                       exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of this
                       Section 3, without any further action on behalf of the
                       Holder, immediately prior to the time this

                                       3
<PAGE>

                       Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the terms of
                       this Warrant.

     (c)       This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately
               prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for
               exercise as provided above (the "Exercise Date"), and the person
               entitled to receive the shares of common stock issuable upon such
               exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of
               record of such shares as of the close of business on such date.
               As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event
               within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its
               expense shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled
               to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number
               of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this
               Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will
               execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for
               the number of shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised

4.   No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
     -------------
     Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
     consolidation, merger, 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 impairment.  Without
     limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase
     the par value of any shares of stock receivable on the exercise of this
     Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, and (b) will
     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 on the exercise of this Warrant.  Upon the request of a Holder at
     any time during the period that this Warrant is outstanding, the Company
     will acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to such
     Holder, the continued validity of this Warrant and the Company's
     obligations hereunder.

5.   Payment Of Taxes.  The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be
     ----------------
     made without charge to the Holder for any stock transfer or other issuance
     tax in respect thereto; provided, however, that the Holder shall be
     responsible for the payment of any and all taxes which may be payable in
     respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
     certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the then
     Holder as reflected upon the books of the Company.

6.   Divisibility Of Warrant. This Warrant may be divided into warrants
     -----------------------
     representing one Warrant Share or multiples thereof, upon surrender at the
     principal office of the Company on any business day, without charge to any
     Holder, except as provided below. Upon any such division, and if permitted
     by Section 10, the Warrants may be transferred of record to a name other
     than that of the Holder of

                                       4
<PAGE>

     record; provided, however, that the Holder shall be responsible for payment
     of any and all transfer taxes with respect thereto.

7.   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.

8.   Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
     ----------------------
     the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
     and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity
     agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or,
     in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
     the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this
     Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

9.   Rights of Stockholders.  The Holder of this Warrant shall not be entitled
     ----------------------
     to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of common stock nor
     shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as
     such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to
     vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to
     stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any
     corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock,
     reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no
     par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive
     notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or
     otherwise util the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.

10.  Transfer of Warrant.
     -------------------

     (a)       Warrant Register.  The Company will maintain a register (the
               ----------------
               "Warrant Register") containing the names and addresses of the
               Holders or Holders. Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion
               thereof may change his address as shown on the Warrant Register
               by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any
               notice or written communication required or permitted to be given
               to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as
               shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the
               Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on the
               Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder
               as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this
               Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
               contrary.

     (b)       Warrant Agent.  The Company may, by written notice to the Holder,
               -------------
               appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant
               Register referred to in Section 10(a) above, issuing the common
               stock, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or
               all of the foregoing. Thereafter, any such registration,
               issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the case may be, shall be
               made at the office of such agent.

     (c)       Transferability and Non-negotiability of Warrant.  This Warrant
               ------------------------------------------------
               may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part, without
               compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws
               by the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of
               investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably
               satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by the
               Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no investment
               representation letter or opinion of counsel shall be required for
               any transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof) or any
               shares of common stock issued upon exercise hereof (i) in
               compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Act, or (ii) by
               gift, will or intestate succession by the Holder to his or her
               spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of
               the foregoing, provided that in each of the foregoing cases the
               transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this
               Section 10(c). In addition, if the holder of the Warrant (or any
               portion thereof) or any common stock issued upon exercise hereof
               delivers to the Company an unqualified opinion of counsel that no
               subsequent transfer of such Warrant or common stock shall require
               registration under the Act, the Company shall, upon such
               contemplated transfer, promptly deliver new
               documents/certificates for such Warrant or common stock that do
               not bear the legend set forth in Section 10(e)(ii) below. Subject
               to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with
               the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), title to this
               Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the Holder
               executing the Assignment Form annexed hereto) and delivery in the
               same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by
               endorsement and delivery.

     (d)       Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer.  On surrender of this
               -----------------------------------
               Warrant for exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form
               and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to
               compliance with the Act and with the limitations on assignments
               and transfers and contained in this Section 10, the Company at
               its expense shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new
               warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or
               as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable
               transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable
               upon exercise hereof.

     (e)       Compliance with Securities Laws.
               -------------------------------

               (i)      The initial Holder of this Warrant represents and
                        warrants to the Company that it is an accredited
                        investor under the Act. The initial Holder represents
                        and warrants to the Company that it has all of the
                        information necessary for it to evaluate an investment
                        in the Company's securities.

               (ii)     The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof,
                        acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of common
                        stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being
                        acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as
                        a nominee for any other party, and for

                                       6
<PAGE>

                        investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or
                        otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of
                        common stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except
                        under circumstances that will not result in a violation
                        of the Act or any applicable state securities laws.

               (iii)    This Warrant and all shares of common stock issued upon
                        exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a
                        legend in substantially the following form (in addition
                        to any legend required by state securities laws):

                        "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
                        REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH
                        SECURITIES AND ANY SECURITIES OR SHARES ISSUED HEREUNDER
                        MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
                        REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT.
                        COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT, COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE
                        SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER OR SALE MAY BE
                        OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE
                        HOLDER OF RECORD HEREOF TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY
                        AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXEUCTIVE OFFICES."

               (iv)     The Company agrees to remove promptly, upon the request
                        of the holder of this Warrant and Securities issuable
                        upon exercise of the Warrant, the legend set forth in
                        Section 10(e)(iii) above from the documents/certificates
                        for such securities upon full compliance with this
                        Agreement Rules 144 and 145 or upon resale in accordance
                        with an effective registration statement.

11.  Reservation and Listing of Shares.  All Warrant Shares which are issued
     ---------------------------------
     upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall, upon
     issuance and payment of the Exercise Price, be validly issued, fully paid
     and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, security interests,
     charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof other than
     taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
     issuance.  During the period within which this Warrant may be exercised,
     the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved, and keep
     available free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of
     Warrant Shares to provide for the exercise of this Warrant, and shall at
     its expense procure such listing thereof (subject to official notice of
     issuance) as then may be required on all stock exchanges on which the
     Common Stock is then listed, if any.  The Company from time to time shall
     take all such action as may be required to assure that the par value per
     share of the Warrant Shares is equal to or less than the Exercise Price.
     The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full
     authority to its officers who are charged with the duty

                                       7
<PAGE>

     of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
     certificates for shares of common stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

12.  Registration Rights; Company Registration.
     -----------------------------------------

     (a)    If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities for
            its own account, other than a registration relating solely to
            employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a Rule
            145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that
            does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:

            (i)    promptly give to Holder written notice thereof; and

            (ii)   use its best efforts to include in such registration (and any
                   related qualification under blue sky laws or other
                   compliance), except as set forth in Section 12(b) below, and
                   in any underwriting involved therein, all or any part (in
                   minimum increments of 100,000 Shares) of the Warrant Shares
                   specified in a written request or requests, made by Holder
                   and received by the Company within twenty (20) days after the
                   written notice from the Company described in clause (i) above
                   is mailed or delivered by the Company. Such written request
                   may specify all or a part of Holder's Warrant Shares.

     (b)    Underwriting.  If the registration of which the Company gives notice
            ------------
            is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
            Company shall so advise Holder as a part of the written notice given
            pursuant to Section 12(a)(i). In such event, the right of Holder to
            registration pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conditioned upon
            Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of
            Holder's Warrant Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided
            herein. A Holder proposing to distribute its securities through such
            underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders
            of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate
            therein distributing their securities through such underwriting)
            enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
            representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the
            Company. If any person does not agree to the terms of any such
            underwriting, he shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from
            the Company or the underwriter. Any Warrant Shares or other
            securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
            withdrawn from such registration.

            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12, if the
            representative of the underwriters advises the Company, in good
            faith, in writing, that marketing factors require a limitation on
            the number of shares to be underwritten, (i) the representative may
            (subject to the limitations set forth below) exclude all Warrant
            Shares from, or limit the number of Warrant Shares to be included in
            the registration and underwriting, or (ii)

                                       8
<PAGE>

            the Company may limit, to the extent so advised by the underwriters,
            the amount of securities to be included in the registration by the
            Company's stockholders (including the Holder), to be apportioned pro
            rata among the holders of registrable securities, including Warrant
            Shares, according to the total amount of securities entitled to be
            included therein owned by each holder of registrable securities,
            including Warrant Shares, and subject in all respects to the rights
            of holders of registrable securities other than Holder affecting the
            ability of such representative or the Company, as applicable, to
            limit the number of registrable securities of such holder or holders
            to be included in such registration and underwriting.

            If registrable securities are withdrawn from the registration as a
            result of the holder failing to agree to the terms of any such
            underwriting and the number of registrable securities to be included
            in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing
            factors, the Company shall then offer to all persons who have
            retained the right to include registrable securities in the
            registration the right to include additional securities in the
            registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so
            withdrawn, apportioned pro rata among the holders of registrable
            securities, including Warrant Shares, according to the total amount
            of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each holder
            of registrable securities, including Warrant Shares, and subject in
            all respects to the rights of holders of registrable securities
            other than Holder affecting the ability of such representative or
            the Company, as applicable, to limit the number of registrable
            securities of such holder or holders to be included in such
            registration and underwriting.

13.  Registration on Form S-3.
     ------------------------

     (a)    Provided the Company is qualified for the use of Form S-3, in
            addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of
            Section 12, Holder shall have the right to request one or more
            registrations on Form S-3 (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 Holder),
            provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect
            any such registration if (i) Holder proposes to sell Warrant Shares
            on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than
            $500,000, or (ii) in the event the Company shall furnish the
            certification described in paragraph 13(d)(ii) (but subject to the
            limitations set forth therein), or (iii) the Company has, within the
            six (6) month period preceding the date of such request already
            effected on registration on Form S-3 for Holder pursuant to this
            Section 13.

     (b)    If a request complying with the requirements of Section 13(a) hereof
            is delivered to the Company, the provisions of Section 12(a)(i) and
            (ii) and Section 13(c) hereof shall apply to such registration. If
            the registration is

                                       9
<PAGE>

            for an underwritten offering, the provisions of Sections 12(b)
            hereof shall apply to such registration.

     (c)    The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action
            to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 13:

            (i)     In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
                    required to execute a general consent to service of process
                    in effecting such registration, qualification, or
                    compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service
                    in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the
                    Act;

            (ii)    During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days
                    prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of
                    filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180)
                    days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated
                    registration; provided that the Company is actively
                    employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
                    registration statement to become effective.

     (d)    Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 13, the Company
            shall file a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares so
            requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of
            the request of Holder; provided, however, that if (i) in the good
            faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, such
            registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the
            Board of Directors of the Company concludes, as a result, that it is
            essential to defer the filing of such registration statement at such
            time, and (ii) the Company shall furnish to Holder a certificate
            signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good
            faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
            seriously detrimental to the Company for such registration statement
            to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, essential
            to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company
            shall have the right to defer such filing for the period during
            which such disclosure would be seriously detrimental, provided that
            (except as provided in clause (c) above) the Company may not defer
            the filing for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days
            after receipt of the request of Holder, and, provided further, that
            the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than
            once in any twelve (12) month period.

14.  Expenses of Registration.  All Registration Expenses (as defined herein)
     ------------------------
     incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance
     pursuant to Sections 12 and 13 hereof and reasonable fees of one counsel
     for Holder shall be borne by the Company.  All Selling Expenses (as defined
     herein) relating to securities so registered shall be borne by the holders
     of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of
     securities so registered on their behalf.  "Registration Expenses" shall
     mean all expenses incurred in effecting any

                                       10

     disbursements of one special counsel for the selling stockholders, blue sky
     fees and expenses, accounting fees and expenses of any regular or special

     include Selling Expenses and fees and disbursements of additional counsel
     for the stockholders. Registration Expenses do not include the compensation
     of regular employees of the Company, which shall be paid in any event by
     the Company. "Selling Expenses" shall mean all underwriting discounts and
     selling commissions applicable to the sale of Warrant Shares and fees and
     disbursements of counsel for any Holder (other than the fees and
     disbursements of counsel included in Registration Expenses).

15.  Amendments.  This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived,
     ----------
     discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the
     party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or
     termination is sought.

16.  Miscellaneous.
     -------------

     (a)  This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada as
          applied to agreements entered into in the State of Nevada by and among

          enforcement of the prevailing party's rights hereunder.

     (c)  The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a
          Holder by the Company under Sections 13 and 14 may be transferred or
          assigned by Holder only to a transferee or assignee of not less than
          100,000 Warrant Shares, provided that the Company is given written
          notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after such transfer
          or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or
          assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such
          registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and, provided
          further, that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes the
          obligations of such Holder under this Warrant.

     (d)  This Warrant shall be exercisable as provided for herein, except that
          in the event that the expiration date of this Warrant shall fall on a
          Saturday, Sunday or United States federally recognized holiday, this
          expiration date for this Warrant shall be extended to 5:00 p.m.
          Pacific standard time on the business day following such Saturday,

                                  ADJUSTMENTS

The Exercise Price at which Warrant Shares may be purchased and the number of
Warrant Shares to be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to
change or adjustment as follows:

     (a)  General.  If the Company (i) pays a dividend in shares of Common Stock
          or makes a distribution in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its
          outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of
          Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock
          into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by
          reclassification of its shares of Common Stock other securities of the
          Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a
          consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving
          corporation), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise
          of this Warrant shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled
          to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities
          of the Company that the Holder would have owned or have been entitled
          to receive after the happening of any of the events described above,
          had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of
          such event or any record date with respect thereto.  An adjustment
          made pursuant to this Exhibit B shall become effective immediately
          after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date,
          if any, for such event.

     (b)  Adjustment For Capital Reorganization. If at any time there shall be a
          capital reorganization of the Company or a merger or consolidation of
          the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or
          substantially all of the Company's properties and assets, then, as
          part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, lawful
          provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall
          thereafter be entitled to receive on exercise of this Warrant during
          the period specified in this Warrant and on payment of the Exercise
          Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other
          securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation
          resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which a holder of the
          Common Stock deliverable on exercise of this Warrant would have been
          entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or
          sale if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that
          capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale.  In any such
          case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
          provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of
          the Holder of this Warrant after the reorganization, merger,
          consolidation, or sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant
          (including adjustment of the number of shares purchasable on exercise
          of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as
          reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities or
          property deliverable after that event on exercise of this Warrant.
          Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any
          dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this paragraph (b),
          this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms
          hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities
          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

                                       14
<PAGE>

          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 7.

     (c)  Certificate Of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
          readjustment pursuant to this Exhibit B, the Company at its expense
          shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
          with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting
          forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts
          upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Company
          shall, upon the written request, at any time, of any Holder, furnish
          or cause to be furnished to such Holder, a like certificate setting
          forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; (ii) the Exercise Price
          at the time in effect; and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock
          and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be
          received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

     (d)  Notices Of Record Date. In the event of 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 (other than a cash dividend that is the same as cash
          dividends paid in previous quarters) 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 any capital reorganization of the Company, any
          reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
          Company, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
          winding-up of the Company, then and in each such event the Company
