holder may determine.

4. Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder hereby represents and
------------------------------------------
warrants to Company as follows:
(a) Sophistication. Holder has (i) a preexisting personal or business
relationship with Company or one or more of its officers, directors, or control
persons; or (ii) by reason of Holder's business or financial experience, or by
reason of the business or financial experience or of Holder's financial advisor
who is unaffiliated with and who is not compensated, directly or indirectly, by
Company or any affiliate or selling agent of Company, Holder is capable of
evaluating the risks and merits of this investment and of protecting Holder's
own interests in connection with this investment.
(b) Accredited Investor. Holder is an "accredited investor" as such
term is defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the
"Securities Act").
(c) Investment Intent. Holder is purchasing the Shares solely for his
own account for investment. Holder has no present intention to resell or
distribute the Warrants or the Shares or any portion thereof. The entire legal
and beneficial interest of the Warrants is being purchased, and will be held,
for Holder's account only, and neither in whole or in part for any other person.
(d) Information Concerning Company. Prior to the date hereof, Holder

financial condition of Company and has acquired sufficient information about
Company to make an informed and knowledgeable decision to purchase the Warrants
and the Shares.
62
(e) Economic Risk. Holder realizes that the purchase of the Warrants
and the Shares will be a highly speculative investment and involves a high
degree of risk. Holder is able, without impairing Purchaser's financial
condition, to hold the Warrants and/or the Shares for an indefinite period of
time and to suffer a complete loss of Holder's investment.
5. Anti-dilution Adjustments. The Warrants granted hereunder and the
--------------------------
Purchase Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the

(a) Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding shares of Company
Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend
in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such
dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or
immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced.
If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of
shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be
proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the
Purchase Price, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount
equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment.
(b) Reclassification, Etc. In case there occurs any reclassification
or change of the outstanding securities of Company or of any reorganization of
Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the
time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate
reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case Holder,
upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such
reclassification, change, or reorganization shall be entitled to receive, in
lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise
hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to
which Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if Holder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
(c) Adjustment Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be made
in the Shares or the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section, Company shall
promptly mail to the Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of
the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Purchase Price after such
adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or
property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.
6. Reservation of Shares. Company shall at all times keep reserved a
-----------------------
sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock, and shall make
appropriate provision of their issuance, to provide for the exercise of the
Warrants in full.
7. Transferability. The Warrants issued hereunder and any and all Shares
---------------
issued upon exercise of the Warrants shall be transferable on the books of
Company by the holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney subject to
any restrictions imposed by applicable federal or state securities laws. It
shall be a further condition to any transfer of the Warrants that the transferor

and accept new Warrants, of like tenor and date, executed by Company, for the
portion so transferred and for any portion retained, and shall surrender this
Agreement executed.
63

the election of directors of Company or for any other purpose not specified
herein.
