confirm in writing, by executing the form attached as Exhibit D hereto, that the
securities purchased thereby are being acquired for investment solely for the
Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other Person, and not with a
view toward distribution or resale.
(c) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any
--------------------------------
offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any securities issued upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the
Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a
written opinion of the Holder's counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company,
to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act or qualification under any applicable
state securities laws of this Warrant or such shares, as the case may be, and
indicating whether or not under the Securities Act certificates for this Warrant
or such shares, as the case may be, to be sold or otherwise disposed of require
any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order
to insure compliance with the Securities Act. Each certificate representing this
Warrant or the securities thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule
144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in
order to insure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the aforesaid
reasonably satisfactory opinion of counsel for the Holder or the security
holder, as the case may be, such legend is not necessary in order to insure
compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer
instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
In the event Holder seeks an opinion from Holder's counsel as to transfer
without registration, the Company shall provide such factual information to
Holder's counsel as Holder's counsel may reasonably request for the purpose of
rendering such opinion and such counsel may rely on the accuracy and
completeness of such information in rendering such opinion.
(d) Procedure. Subject to the limitations set forth in this
---------
Section 5, Holder may transfer the Warrant on the books of the Company by
surrendering to the Company: (i) this Warrant; (ii) a written Assignment, in the
form attached as Exhibit C, naming the assignee and duly executed by Holder; and
(iii) funds sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes payable upon the making
of such transfer.
<PAGE>
The Company shall thereupon execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name
of the assignee specified in such instrument of assignment, and if the Warrant
is transferred in part, the Company shall also execute and deliver in the name
of the Holder a new Warrant covering the untransferred portion of the Warrant.
Upon issuance of the new Warrant or Warrants, the Warrant surrendered for
transfer shall be canceled by the Company.
(e) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses, and other
--------
charges payable in connection with the preparation, issue, and delivery of any
new Warrant under this Section 5.
6. No Rights as Shareholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
------------------------
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to
exercise.
7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by
-------------------------------------------------
the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation,
in lieu of this Warrant.
8. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for
---------------------------------
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such
action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day
not a legal holiday.
9. Early Termination. This Warrant shall terminate earlier than two (2)
-----------------
years from the date of this Warrant if the Agreement is earlier terminated or
fails to close.
10. Miscellaneous. This Warrant may be amended and any term of this
-------------
Warrant may be waived only by a written instrument signed by the Company and the
Holder. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the
Company. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under the laws of the State of
California and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of said state applied without reference to conflict of laws
principles.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION CERTIFICATE
-------------------------------------
HOLDER:
COMPANY:
SECURITY: COMMON STOCK
AMOUNT:
DATE:
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the
undersigned Holder represents to the Company the following:
(a) Holder is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Holder is
acquiring these Securities for investment for Holder's own account only and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"). Holder represents that such Holder has no contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to any such person or any third person with respect to any of the
Securities.
(b) Holder acknowledges and understands that the Securities
constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of Holder's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection,
Holder understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Holder's
representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these
Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes,
for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of
the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the
future. Holder further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely
unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption
from such registration is available. Holder understands that the certificate
evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the
transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is
not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.
(c) Holder is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated
under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of
"restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer
thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions.
<PAGE>
The Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject
to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than
one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or
the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the
meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an
affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than
two years, the satisfaction of certain conditions of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer
period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities may be
resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by
Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an
unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market
maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and,
in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information
about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three
month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144, and (4) the
timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.
(d) Holder further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is
not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed
its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other
than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have
a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from
registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and
their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own
risk. Holder understands that no assurances can be given that any such other
registration exemption will be available in such event.
