                                                         _____ Shares


     THIS IS TO CERTIFY  that,  for value  received,  ___________  is  entitled,
subject to the terms and  conditions  set forth,  at or before 5 P.M.,  New York
City Time,  on ________,  2001,  but not  thereafter,  to purchase the number of
shares set forth above of Common  Stock,  par value $.10 per shares (the "Common
Stock"), of HERLEY INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"),
from the  Corporation  at a purchase price per share of (i) $14.40 if and to the
extent this Warrant is exercised,  in whole or in part on or before  January 11,
1999, or (ii) $15.60 if and to the extent this Warrant is exercised, in whole or
in part after  January 11, 1999 but during the period  this  Warrant  remains in
force,  subject in all cases to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof,  and
to receive a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock
so  purchased,  upon  presentation  and  surrender  to the  Corporation  of this
Warrant,  with the form of  subscription  attached  hereto  duly  executed,  and
accompanied by payment of the purchase price of each share  purchased  either in
cash or by  certified  or bank  cashier's  check  payable  to the  order  of the
Corporation.

     1. The  Corporation  covenants  and agrees that all shares may be delivered
upon the exercise of this  Warrant and will,  upon  delivery,  be fully paid and
non-assessable,  and,  without  limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  the
Corporation  covenants  and agrees  that it will from time to time take all such
action as may be  requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common
Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then  current  Warrant  purchase
price per share of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

<PAGE>

     2. The rights  represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the option of
the holder hereof in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, within the
period above specified at the prices  specified in Section 1 hereof . In case of
the  purchase  of  less  than  all  the  shares  as to  which  this  Warrant  is
exercisable, the Corporation shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender hereof
and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the
shares purchasable hereunder.

     3. The  price per share at which  shares of Common  Stock may be  purchased
hereunder,  and the number of such shares to be purchased upon exercise  hereof,
are subject to change or adjustment as follows:

     (A)  In case the Corporation shall, while this Warrant remains unexercised,
          in whole or in part, and in force,  effect a recapitalization  of such
          character that the shares of Common Stock purchasable  hereunder shall
          be changed into or become  exchangeable for a larger or smaller number
          of  shares,  then,  after  the  date  of  record  for  effecting  such
          recapitalization,  the  number of shares  of  Common  Stock  which the
          holder  hereof  shall  be  entitled  to  purchase  hereunder  shall be
          increased or  decreased,  as the case may be, in direct  proportion to
          the  increase or  decrease in the number of shares of Common  Stock by
          reason of such recapitalization,  and the purchase price hereunder per
          share of such  recapitalized  Common  Stock  shall,  in the case of an
          increase in the number of such shares, be proportionately reduced, and
          in the case of a  decrease  in the  number  of such  shares,  shall be
          proportionately  increased.  For the purpose of this subsection (A), a
          stock dividend, stock split-up or reverse split shall be considered as
          a  recapitalization  and as an exchange for a larger or smaller number
          of shares, as the case may be.

     (B)  In the case of any consolidation of the Corporation with, or merger of
          the Corporation into, any other corporation, or in case of any sale or
          conveyance  of  all  or  substantially   all  of  the  assets  of  the
          Corporation in connection  with a plan of complete  liquidation of the
          Corporation,  then,  as a condition of such  consolidation,  merger or
          sale or  conveyance,  adequate  provision  shall be made  whereby  the
          holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive,
          upon the basis and upon the terms  and  conditions  specified  in this
          Warrant and in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately  theretofore
          purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented
          hereby,  such  shares  of  stock or  securities  as may be  issued  in
          connection with such consolidation,  merger or sale or conveyance with
          respect  to or in  exchange  for the number of  outstanding  shares of
          Common Stock immediately therefore purchasable and receivable upon the
<PAGE>

          exercise  of the rights  represented  hereby  had such  consolidation,
          merger or sale or  conveyance  not taken  place,  and in any such case
          appropriate  provision  shall be made with  respect  to the rights and
          interests of the holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions
          hereof  shall be  applicable  as nearly as may be in  relation  to any
          shares  of stock  or  securities  thereafter  deliverable  upon the
          exercise hereof.

     (C)  In case the Corporation shall, while this Warrant remains unexercised,
          in whole or in part,  and in  force,  issue  (otherwise  than by stock
          dividend  or stock  split-up  or reverse  split) or sell shares of its
          Common Stock  (hereinafter  referred to as "Additional  Shares") for a
          consideration  per share (before  deduction of expenses or commissions
          or underwriting  discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less
          than the purchase price hereunder per share,  then,  after the date of
          such  issuance or sale,  the  purchase  price  hereunder  per shall be
          reduced to a price  determined  by dividing (1) an amount equal to (a)
          the total  number of shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  immediately
          prior to the time of such issuance or sale multiplied by such purchase
          price  hereunder  per  share,  plus  (b)  the  consideration   (before
          deduction  of expenses or  commissions  or  underwriting  discounts or
          allowances  in  connection   therewith),   if  any,  received  by  the
          Corporation  upon such  issuance or sale,  by (2) the total  number of
          shares of Common Stock  outstanding  after the date of the issuance or
          sale of such  Additional  Shares,  and the  number of shares of Common
          Stock which the holder hereof shall be entitled to purchase  hereunder
          at each  such  adjusted  purchase  price per  share,  at the time such
          adjusted purchase price per shall be in effect, shall be the number of
          whole shares of Common Stock  obtained by  multiplying  such  purchase
          price  hereunder  per share before such  adjustment,  by the number of
          shares of Common Stock  purchasable  upon the exercise of this Warrant
          immediately  before  such  adjustment,  and  dividing  the  product so
          obtained by such adjusted purchase price per share; provided, however,
          that no such  adjustment of the purchase price  hereunder per share or
          the number of shares for which this Warrant may be exercised  shall be
          made upon the  issuance  or sale by the  Corporation  of not more than
          500,000  Additional  Shares  reserved  for issuance  upon  exercise of
          outstanding stock options or warrants.


     (D)  In case the Corporation shall, while this Warrant remains  unexercised
          in whole or in part,  and in  force,  issue  or grant  any  rights  to
          subscribe  for or to purchase,  or any option (other than the employee
          stock options referred to in subsection (C) above) for the purchase of
          (i)  Common  Stock  or  (ii)  any  indebtedness  or  shares  of  stock
          convertible  into or exchangeable  for Common Stock  (indebtedness  or
          shares of stock  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for Common  Stock

<PAGE>

          being hereinafter referred to as "Convertible  Securities"),  or issue
          or sell  Convertible  Securities  and the  price  per  share for which
          Common  Stock is issuable  upon the exercise of such rights or options
          or upon conversion or exchange of such  Convertible  Securities at the
          time  such  Convertible   Securities   first  become   convertible  or
          exchangeable (determined by dividing (1) in the case of an issuance or
          grant of any  such  rights  or  options,  the  total  amount,  if any,
          received or receivable by the  Corporation  as  consideration  for the
          issuance  or  grant  of such  rights  or  options,  plus  the  minimum
          aggregate   amount  of   additional   consideration   payable  to  the
          Corporation upon exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case
          of such  Convertible  Securities,  in the minimum  aggregate amount of
          additional consideration,  if any, payable to the Corporation upon the
          conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities at the time such
          Convertible  Securities first become  convertible or exchangeable,  or
          (2) in the case of an issuance or sale of Convertible Securities other
          than where the same or issuable  upon the  exercise of any such rights
          or options,  the total amount,  if any,  received or receivable by the
          Corporation  as  consideration  for  the  issuance  or  sale  of  such
          Convertible   Securities,   plus  the  minimum   aggregate  amount  of
          additional consideration,  if any, payable to the Corporation upon the
          conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities at the time such
          Convertible  Securities first become convertible or exchangeable,  by,
          in either such case,  (3) the total maximum number of shares of Common
          Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the
          conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities at the time such
          Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable) shall
          be less than the two purchase  prices  hereunder  per share,  then the
          total  maximum  number of shares of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon the
          exercise of such rights or options or upon  conversion  or exchange of
          the total maximum  amount of such  Convertible  Securities at the time
          such Convertible  Securities first become convertible or exchangeable,
          shall  (as of the date of the  issuance  or grant  of such  rights  or
          options  or,  in the  case of the  issuance  or  sale  of  Convertible
          Securities other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of
          rights or options,  as of the date of such issuance or sale) be deemed
          to be  outstanding  and to have been  issued for said price per share;
          provided that (i) no further adjustment of the purchase price shall be
          made upon the actual  issuance of such Common  Stock upon the exercise
          of such rights or options or upon the  conversion  or exchange of such
          Convertible  Securities  or upon the actual  issuance  of  Convertible
          Securities  where  the same are  issuable  upon the  exercise  of such
          rights or options,  and (ii)  rights or options  issued or granted pro
          rata to shareholders without consideration and Convertible  Securities
          issuable  by way of  dividend or other  distribution  to  shareholders
          shall be  deemed  to have  been  issued  or  granted  at the  close of
          business  on the date  fixed  for the  determination  of  shareholders
          entitled to such rights,  options or Convertible  Securities and shall
          be deemed to have been issued without consideration;  and (iii) if, in
          any case,  the total  maximum  number of shares of Common Stock issued
          upon exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange
          of such Convertible  Securities is not, in fact,  issued and the right
          to  exercise  such  right or option or to  convert  or  exchange  such
          Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated,  then, and in
          any  such  event,   the  purchase   price,   as  adjusted,   shall  be
          appropriately   readjusted   at  the  time  of  such   expiration   or
          termination.  In such case,  each purchase  price  hereunder per share
          which is greater  than the price per share for which  Common  Stock is
          issuable upon conversion or exchange of such rights or options or upon
          conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities at the time such
          Convertible  Securities first become  convertible or exchangeable,  as
          determined above in this subsection (D), shall thereupon be reduced to
          a price  determined  by dividing  (1) an amount equal to (a) the total
          number of shares of Common Stock outstanding  immediately prior to the
          time of the  issuance  or  grant  of such  rights  or  options  or the
          issuance or sale of such  Convertible  Securities  multiplied  by such

<PAGE>

          purchase price hereunder per share, plus (b) the total amount, if any,
          received or receivable by the  Corporation as  consideration  for such
          issuance  or  grant or such  issuance  or  sale,  plus the  additional
          amounts referred to and more fully set forth in clauses (1) and (2) of
          the  parenthetical  material above in this subsection  (D),  whichever
          clause and whichever additional amounts may be applicable,  by (2) the
          total number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding  after the date of
          such  issuance or grant or such  issuance  or sale,  and the number of
          shares of Common  Stock which the holder  hereof  shall be entitled to
          purchase  hereunder at such adjusted  purchase price per share, at the
          time such adjusted purchase price per shall be in effect, shall be the
          number of whole shares of Common Stock  obtained by  multiplying  such
          purchase price hereunder,  per share,  before such adjustment,  by the
          number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this
          Warrant immediately before such adjustment and dividing the product so
          obtained by such adjusted purchase price per share.

     (E)  For  the  purpose  of  subsections  (C)  and (D)  above,  in case  the
          Corporation shall issue or sell Additional Shares,  issue or grant any
          rights  to  subscribe  for or to  purchase,  or any  options  for  the
          purchase of (i) Common Stock or (ii) Convertible Securities,  or issue
          or sell Convertible Securities for a consideration part of which shall
          be other than cash,  the amount of the  consideration  received by the
          Corporation therefor shall be deemed to be the cash proceeds,  if any,
          received by the Corporation  plus the fair value of the  consideration
          other  than  cash as  determined  by the  Board  of  Directors  of the
          Corporation   in  good  faith,   before   deduction  of   commissions,
          underwriting  discounts  or  allowances  or  other  expenses  paid  or
          incurred by the Corporation for any  underwriting  of, or otherwise in
          connection with, such issuance, grant or sale.

     (F)  Subject  to the  provisions  of  subsection  (G)  below,  in case  the
          Corporation shall, while this Warrant remains unexercised, in whole or
          in part, and in force,  make any distribution of its assets to holders
          of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of
          capital or otherwise,  then,  after the date of record for determining
          shareholders entitled to such distribution, the holder hereof shall be

<PAGE>

          entitled,  upon exercise of this Warrant and purchase of any or all of
          the shares of Common Stock  subject  hereto,  to receive the amount of
          such assets (or at the option of the  Corporation,  a sum equal to the
          value  thereof at the time of such  distribution  to holders of Common
          Stock as such value is  determined  by the Board of  Directors  of the
          Corporation  in good  faith)  which  would  have been  payable to such
          holder had he been the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock
          on the record date for the  determination of shareholders  entitled to
          such distribution.

     (G)  Except as otherwise  provided in subsection (B) above,  in the case of
          any sales or conveyance of all or  substantially  all of the assets of
          the Corporation in connection  with a plan of complete  liquidation of
          the  Corporation,  in the  case  of the  dissolution,  liquidation  or
          winding up of the  Corporation,  all rights under this  Warrant  shall
          terminate on a date fixed by the Corporation, such date so fixed to be
          not earlier than the date of the  commencement  of the proceedings for
          such dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up and not later than thirty
          (30) days after such commencement  date. Notice of such termination of
          purchase rights shall be given to the registered holder hereof, as the
          same shall  appear on the books of the  Corporation,  at least  thirty
          (30) days prior to such termination date.

     (H)  In case the Corporation shall, while this Warrant remains  unexercised
          in whole or in part,  and in  force,  offer to the  holders  of Common
          Stock any rights to subscribe  for  additional  shares of stock of the
          Corporation,  then the Corporation  shall given written notice thereof
          to the  registered  holder hereof not less than thirty (30) days prior
          to the date on which  the  books of the  Corporation  are  closed or a
          record date fixed for the  determination  of shareholders  entitled to
          such  subscription  rights.  Such notice shall  specify the date as to
          which the books shall be closed or the record date fixed with  respect
          to such offer or  subscription,  and the right of the holder hereof to
          participate  in such offer or  subscription  shall  terminate  if this
          Warrant  shall not be  exercised on or before the date of such closing
          of the books or such record date.

     (I)  Any adjustment  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions shall be made on
          the basis of the  number of shares of Common  Stock  which the  holder
          hereof would have been entitled to acquire by exercise of this Warrant
          immediately  prior to the event giving rise to such adjustment and, as
          to the purchase  price  hereunder per share,  whether or not in effect
          immediately prior to the time of such adjustment, on the basis of such
          purchase  price  immediately  prior to the event  giving  rise to such
          adjustment.  Whenever any such  adjustment is required to be made, the
          Corporation  shall  forthwith  determine  the new  number of shares of
          Common Stock which the holder shall be entitled to purchase  hereunder
          and/or such new purchase price per share, and shall prepare, retain on
          file and transmit to the holder hereof within ten (10) days after such
          preparation a statement  describing  in  reasonable  detail the method
          used in calculating such adjustment(s).

<PAGE>

     (J)  For the  purposes of this  Section 3, the term  "Common  Stock"  shall
          include all shares of capital stock  authorized  by the  Corporation's
          Certificate of Incorporation,  as from time to time amended, which are
          not  limited to a fixed sum or  percentage  of par value in respect of
          the right of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or in the
          distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary  liquidation,
          dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation.

     (K)  Whenever the price per share hereunder,  initial or adjusted,  and the
          number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased upon exercise hereof,
          initial or  adjusted,  shall be changed or  adjusted  pursuant  to the
          provisions of this Section 3, the  Corporation  shall  forthwith cause
          written  notice  setting forth the changed or adjusted price per share
          hereunder and number of shares to be purchased upon exercise hereof to
          be given to the holder of this Warrant.

     4. The holder  hereof  agrees that the  Warrants and shares of Common Stock
will not be offered or sold (1) unless at the time of such offer or sale,  there
is delivered a prospectus  meeting the  requirements  of the  Securities  Act of
1933, as amended,  forming a part of an applicable  post-effective  amendment to
the Registration  Statement,  or forming a part of a new registration  statement
with respect to such offer and sale,  or (2) unless in the opinion of counsel to
the Corporation satisfactory to the holder hereof, such offer and sale is exempt
from the provisions of Section 5 of the Act. In connection  with the preparation
of  any  post-effective  amendment  to the  Registration  Statement  or any  new
registration statement, the holder hereof agrees to furnish the Corporation with
information, in writing, concerning the terms of the proposed offer.

     5. The  Corporation  agrees at all times to  reserve  or hold  available  a
sufficient  number  of shares  of  Common  Stock to cover  the  number of shares
issuable upon the exercise of this and all other Warrants of the same class.

     6. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or
other  rights  as a  shareholder  of the  Corporation,  or to any  other  rights
whatsoever except the rights herein expressed, and no dividends shall be payable
or accrue in respect of this Warrant or the interest  represented  hereby or the
shares  purchasable  hereunder  until or unless,  and except to the extent that,
this Warrant shall be exercised.

     7. This Warrant is  exchangeable  upon the  surrender  hereof by the holder
hereof to the  Corporation  for new Warrants of like tenor  representing  in the
aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares purchasable hereunder, each
of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as
shall be designated by the holder hereof at the time of such surrender.

<PAGE>

     8. The  Corporation  will  transmit  to the  holder  of this  Warrant  such
information,  documents and reports as are generally distributed to shareholders
of  the  Corporation   concurrently  with  the  distribution   thereof  to  such
shareholders.

     9.  Notices  to be given to the holder of this  Warrant  shall be deemed to
have been sufficiently  given if delivered or mailed,  addressed in the name and
at the address of such holder appearing in the records of the  Corporation,  and
if mailed,  sent first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid.  The
address of the Corporation is 10 Industry Drive, Lancaster,  Pennsylvania 17603,
and the  Corporation  shall give written  notice of any change of address to the
holder hereof.

     10. The exercise of this Warrant is subject to the approval of its issuance
by the shareholders of the Corporation.

     11. The  Corporation  covenants  and agrees  that no later than ninety (90)
days after the issuance of this Warrant it will file a registration statement on
the  appropriate  form (the  "Registration  Statement")  with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission in accordance  with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and hereby agrees to include in the Registration  Statement among the Securities
to be  registered  the  Warrants  and the shares of Common  Stock into which the
Warrants  are  exercisable  at the  Corporation's  sole cost and  expense,  and,
furthermore,  to make a  reasonable  effort to cause  the  Warrants  listed  for
trading on the NASDAQ  National  Market System,  provided that all  requirements
with respect to such listing can be  satisfied  by the  Corporation  without the
expenditure of unreasonable time or expense.

     12. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding,  this Warrant shall be
callable by the  Corporation  in whole or in part, at any time after  twenty-one
(21)  months  after ___ date of its  issuance at the price of $1.00 per share of
Common Stock  subject  hereto on thirty (30) days  written  notice to the holder
hereof if the last  reported  sales  price of the Common  Stock  reported on the
NASDAQ  National  Market System (or ____  successor or other exchange upon which
the Common  Stock may be listed for  trading)  is not less than $17.60 per share
for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days.

             INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

This Warrant Certificate certifies that

or its registered assigns is the registered holder (the "Registered  Holder") of
the number of Warrants set forth above,  each of which  represents  the right to
purchase one fully paid and nonassessable  share of common stock, par value $.10
per  share  (the  "Common  Stock"),  of  Herley  Industries,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation (the  "Company"),  at any time until the Expiration Date hereinafter
referred to, by surrendering  this Warrant  Certificate,  with the exercise form
set forth hereon duly executed with signatures  guaranteed as provided below, at
the office maintained pursuant to the Warrant Agreement  hereinafter referred to
for that purpose by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New
York,  New  York  10005,  and any  other  offices  of the  Warrant  Agent or its
successor  designated  for such  purpose  (any such  warrant  agent being herein
called the "Warrant  Agent"),  and by paying in full the sum of $14.40 per share
if  exercised on or before  January 11, 1999,  and $15.60 per share if exercised
after January 11, 1999 and on or before the  Expiration  Date (as defined below)
(the "Exercise  Price"),  plus transfer taxes,  if any.  Payment of the Exercise
Price shall be made in United States currency, by certified check or money order
payable to the order of the Company.

   Upon certain events provided for in the Warrant Agreement, the Exercise Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each
Warrant are required to be adjusted.

   No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on ________,
2001 or on such expiration date as may be extended to provide the Registered
Holder at least 90 days written notice of such expiration date or to maintain an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act") for at

<PAGE>   2
least 90 consecutive days prior to such expiration date (the "Expiration Date").
After the Expiration Date, all Warrants evidenced hereby shall thereafter become
void, and the holders thereof shall have no rights hereunder. Prior to the
Expiration Date, subject to any applicable laws, rules or regulations
restricting transferability and to any restriction on transferability that may
appear on this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the terms of the Warrant
Agreement, the Registered Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant
Certificate in whole or in part upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate at
the office of the Warrant Agent with the form of assignment set forth hereon
duly executed, with signatures guaranteed by a member firm of a national
securities exchange, a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan
association or a trust company located in the United States, a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or other eligible guarantor
institution which is a participant in a signature guarantee program (as such
terms are defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended). Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates representing the same aggregate number of Warrants will be issued
in accordance with the instructions in the form of assignment.

   No Warrant is exercisable unless, at the time of such exercise, the Company
has a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act covering the
shares of Common Stock issuable or transferable upon exercise of such Warrant,
and such shares have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of
the state of residence of the exercising Registered Holder, or such issuance or
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
such shares of Common Stock are exempt from such registration or qualification.

   Upon the exercise of less than all of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate, there shall be issued to the Registered Holder a new Warrant
Certificate in respect of the Warrants not exercised.

   Prior to the Expiration Date, the Registered Holder shall be entitled to
exchange this Warrant Certificate, with or without other Warrant Certificates,
for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates for the same aggregate
number of Warrants, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate at the office
maintained for such purpose by the Warrant Agent.

   No fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise of Warrants. As to any
final fraction of a share, which the Registered Holder of one or more Warrant
Certificates, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction,
would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Registered
Holder shall be paid the cash value thereof determined as provided in the
Warrant Agreement.

   This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Warrant
Agreement between the Company, certain selling stockholders and

<PAGE>   3

the Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agreement") and is subject to the terms and
provisions contained in said Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and
provisions the Registered Holder consents by acceptance hereof.

   This Warrant Certificate shall not entitle the Registered Holder to any of
the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the
right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to attend or
receive any notice of meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the
Company.

   This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose until it shall
have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be
duly executed under its corporate seal.
