3. Rights and Obligations of Warrant Holder.
----------------------------------------
(a) The Holder of this Warrant Agreement shall not, by virtue hereof,
be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in
equity; provided, however, that in the event that any certificate representing
the Shares is issued to the Holder hereof upon exercise of this Warrant, such
Holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of
such Shares on the date on which this Warrant Agreement, together with a duly
executed Purchase Form, was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was
made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Share certificate. The rights
of the Holder of this Warrant are limited to those expressed herein and the
Holder of this Warrant, by his acceptance hereof, consents to and agrees to be
bound by and to comply with all the provisions of this Warrant Agreement,
including, without limitation, all the obligations imposed upon the Holder
hereof by Sections 2 and 5 hereof. In addition, the Holder of this Warrant
Agreement, by accepting the same, agrees that the Company may deem and treat the
person in whose name this Warrant Agreement is registered on the books of the
Company maintained for such purposes as the absolute, true and lawful owner for
all purposes whatsoever, notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing thereon, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
(b) No Holder of this Warrant Agreement shall be entitled to vote or
receive dividends or to be deemed the holder of Shares for any purpose, nor
shall anything contained in this Warrant Agreement be construed to confer upon
any Holder of this Warrant Agreement any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any action by the
Company, whether upon any recapitalization, issue of stock, reclassification of
stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise, receive notice of
meetings or other action affecting stockholders (except for notices provided for
herein), receive dividends, subscription rights, or otherwise, until this
Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise
thereof shall have become deliverable as provided herein; provided, however,
that any such exercise on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company
shall be closed shall constitute the person in whose name the certificate for
those Shares are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes at
the opening of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer
books are open, and the Warrant surrendered shall not be deemed to have been
exercised, in whole or in part as the case may be, until the next succeeding day
on which stock transfer books are open for the purpose of determining
entitlement to dividends on the Company's common stock.

5. Representations and Warranties of Holder; Disposition of Warrant or
Shares. -------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
(a) The Holder acknowledges that it has had access to all material

acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to, and has to its satisfaction,
questioned the officers of the Company with respect to this Warrant. The Holder

investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any "distribution" thereof in violation of the Act or State
Acts. The Holder further represents that it understands that the Warrant and
Common Stock to be issued upon exercise thereof have not been registered under
the Act or State Acts by reason of specific exemptions therefrom, which
exemptions depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's
investment intent as expressed herein. The Holder is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
(b) The Holder of this Warrant Agreement and any transferee hereof or
of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant Agreement, by their
acceptance hereof, hereby understand and agree that the Warrant, and the Shares
issuable upon the exercise hereof, have not been registered under either the Act
or State Acts and shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise
transferred (whether or not for consideration) except upon the issuance to the
Company of an opinion of counsel favorable to the Company or its counsel or
submission to the Company of such evidence as may be satisfactory to the Company
or its counsel, in each such case, to the effect that any such transfer shall
not be in violation of the Act or the State Acts. It shall be a condition to the
transfer of this Warrant that any transferee of this Warrant deliver to the
Company his written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and
conditions of this Warrant Agreement. The Holder acknowledges that the Company
has not granted any registration rights hereunder.
(c) The stock certificates of the Company that will evidence the shares
of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant may be exercisable will be
imprinted with a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under either the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") or the
securities laws of any state ("State Acts"). Such securities
shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise
transferred (whether or not for consideration) at any time
whatsoever except upon registration or upon delivery to the
Company of an opinion of its counsel satisfactory to the Company
or its counsel that registration is not required for such
transfer or the submission of such other evidence as may be
satisfactory to the Company or its counsel to the effect that any
such transfer shall not be in violation of the Act, State Acts or
any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder."
(d) The Company is offering piggy-back registration rights to the
Holder which rights are attached hereto as Exhibit "A."

6. Adjustments.
-----------
The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events
enumerated below:
(a) If at any time after the date of this Warrant and so long as this
Warrant is outstanding, there is (i) a stock split, stock dividend, subdivision,
or similar distribution with respect to the Common Stock, (ii) a combination of
the Common Stock, or (iii) a sale or issuance of Common Stock, or exchangeable
for its Common Stock, or any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or to
purchase of its Common Stock, then, in such event, the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted in accordance with (b) below.
(b) Immediately upon the effective date of any event requiring
adjustment pursuant to (a), the Company shall adjust the Exercise Price then in
effect (to the nearest whole cent) as follows:
(i) If the Company (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise
make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by
reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock
of the Company, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and
of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
subparagraph (i) shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after
the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
re-classification.
(ii) If the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common
Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in
subparagraph (i) above), then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of
which the denominator shall be the market price of Common Stock
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the
numerator shall be such market price of the Common Stock on such record
date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion
of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to
one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Company's
board of directors in good faith; provided, however, that if the Holder
disputes such amount, the Holder may select a nationally recognized or
major regional investment banking firm or firm of independent certified
public accountants of recognized standing (an "Appraiser") paid for by
the Holder and the Company equally, in which case the fair market value
shall be equal to the average of the determinations by the Company's
board of directors and such Appraiser. In either case the adjustments
shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion
of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and
shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned
above.

(iii) In case the Company (A) consolidates with or merges into
any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such
consolidation or merger, or (B) permits any other entity to consolidate
with or merge into the Company and the Company is the continuing or
surviving Company but, in connection with such consolidation or merger,
the Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for common stock or other
securities of any other entity or cash or any other assets, or (C)
transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any
other entity, or (D) effects a reorganization or reclassification of
the equity of the Company in such a way that holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or assets with
respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, and in each such
case, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the exercise of the
Warrant at any time after the consummation of such consolidation,
merger, transfer, reorganization or reclassification, the Holder shall
be entitled to receive (at the Exercise Price in effect for Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to
such consummation), in lieu of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise
of the Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock and other
securities, cash and assets to which the Holder would have been
entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had so exercised the
Warrant immediately prior thereto.
(c) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to (b) above,
the Warrant outstanding prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price shall
thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, that
number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained
by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock by
the Exercise Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Exercise Price and (ii)
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect after such
adjustment of the exercise price.
(d) In case the Company (i) consolidates with or merges into any other
entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or
merger, or (ii) permits any other entity to consolidate with or merge into the
Company and the Company is the continuing or surviving Company but, in
connection with such consolidation or merger, the Common Stock is changed into
or exchanged for common stock or other securities of any other entity or cash or
any other assets, or (iii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties
and assets to any other entity, or (iv) effects a reorganization or
reclassification of the equity of the Company in such a way that holders of
Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or assets with
respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, and in each such case, proper
provision shall be made so that, upon the exercise of this Warrant at any time
after the consummation of such consolidation, merger, transfer, reorganization
or reclassification, the Holder shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate
Exercise Price in effect for Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the
stock and other securities, cash and assets to which such Holder would have been
entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant
immediately prior thereto.
7. Loss or Destruction.
-------------------
Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Agreement and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or
bond satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case
