Redeemable Warrant .The number of Securities to be received upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the price to be paid for the Securities may be adjusted from
time to time as hereinafter set forth. The purchase price of a Security in
effect at any time and as adjusted from time to time is hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the "Exercise Price." This Warrant is or may be one of a series
of Warrants identical in form issued by the Company to purchase an aggregate of
100,000 Shares of Common Stock and 100,000 Redeemable Warrants .. The
Securities, as adjusted from time to time, underlying the Warrants are
hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Securities". The Securities
issuable upon the exercise hereof are in all respects identical to the
securities being purchased by the Underwriter for resale to the public pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement entered into on this
date between the Company and Holder, except that the Exercise Price per share of
Common Stock to be acquired upon the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants
issuable to Holder pursuant hereto shall be $ per share.

Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at anytime or from time to time on
or after , 1998, but not later than 3:30 p.m., Eastern Time on , 2002, or if ,

any, with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by
payment of the Exercise Price for the number of shares of Common Stock or
Redeemable Warrants, as the case may be as speficied in such Form, together with
all federal and state taxes applicable upon such exercise. The Company agrees to
provide notice to the Holder that any tender offer is being made for the
Securities no later than the day the Company becomes aware that any tender offer
is being made for the Securities. If this Warrant should be exercised in part
only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation,
execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase
the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder along with any additional
Redeemable Warrants not exercised. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant
at the office of the Company or at the office of
the Company's stock transfer agent, in proper form for exercise and accompanied
by the total Exercise Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of
record of the Securities issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the
stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Securities shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.
(b) Reservation of Securities. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this
Warrant such number of shares of Securities as shall be required for issuance or
delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants and agrees that,
upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all
Securities and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and
validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive
rights of any stockholder. As long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, the
Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Securities issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance)
on all securities exchanges on which the Common Stock issued to the public in
connection herewith may then be listed and/or quoted on NASDAQ.
(c) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any
fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay
to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current
market value of such fractional share, determined as follows:
(1) If the Securities are listed on a national securities exchange or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange, the current value
shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on
the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no
such sale is made on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
for such day on such exchange; or
(2) If the Securities are not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges, the current value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and
asked prices reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System (or, if not so quoted on NASDAQ or by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc.) on the last business day prior to the date of the
exercise of this Warrant; or
(3) If the Securities are not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current value shall
be an amount, not less than book value, determined in such reasonable manner as
may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company, such determination
to be final and binding on the Holder.

without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender
hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for
other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to
purchase (under the same terms and conditions as provided by this Warrant) in
the aggregate the same number of Securities purchasable hereunder. This Warrant
may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated until after one year
from the effective date of the registration statement except that it may be (i)
assigned in whole or in part to the officers of the "Underwriter(s)", and
(ii)transferred to any successor to the business of the "Underwriter(s)." Any
such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, or at
the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed
hereto duly executed and with funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax;
whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant
in the name of the assignee named in-such instrument of assignment, and this
Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with
other Warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the
office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which
new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term
"Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrants issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant, or into which this Warrant may be divided or
exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of
loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
2
Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not the Warrant so
lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone.
(e) Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
(f) Notices to Warrant Holders. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding
and unexercised (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend exclusive of a cash
dividend, or make any distribution upon the Common Stock, or (ii) if the Company
shall offer to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them
any shares of stock of any class or any other rights, or (iii) if any capital
reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property
and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then,
in any such case, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder, at
least ten (10) days prior to the date specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case
may be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and
stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up
is to take place and the date, if any, is to be fixed, as of which the holders
of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock for equivalent securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(g) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Common Stock
Deliverable.
(A)(i) Except as hereinafter provided, in the event the Company shall, at
any time or from time to time after the date hereof, issue any shares of Common
Stock as a stock dividend to the holders of Common Stock, or subdivide or
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number
of shares (any such issuance, subdivision or combination being herein call a
"Change of Shares"), then, and thereafter upon each further Change of Shares,
the Exercise Price of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant
and the Redeemable Warrant in effect immediately prior to such Change of Shares
shall be changed to a price (including any applicable fraction of a cent to the
nearest cent) determined by dividing (i) the sum of (a) the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Shares,
multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Change of
Shares, and (b) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such
issuance, subdivision or combination by (ii) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Change of Shares; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this
computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section (g) the following provisions shall be applicable:
(I) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution
on any capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(II) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall
not be deemed to include the number of shares issuable (subject to readjustment
upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the exercise of options, rights or
warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable
securities.
(ii) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section
(g), the number of shares of Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants purchasable
upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be the number derived by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants purchasable immediately
prior to
3
such adjustment by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product so obtained by the applicable adjusted Exercise Price.
(B) In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Securities
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result
of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into another corporation other than a merger with a
"Subsidiary" (which shall mean any corporation or corporations, as the case may
be, of which capital stock having ordinary power to elect a majority of the
Board of Directors of such corporation (regardless of whether or not at the time
capital stock of any other class or classes of such corporation shall have or
may have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at the
time directly or indirectly owned by the Company or by one or more Subsidiaries)
or by the Company and one or more Subsidiaries in which merger the Company is
the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or other capital stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result
of subdivision or combination) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety, then, as a condition of such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance, the Company, or such successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall make lawful and adequate provision
whereby the Holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter to receive on exercise of such Warrant the kind and amount of
securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of
securities issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and shall
forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement signed by its
President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or
its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary evidencing such provision. Such
provisions shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section
(g)(A). The above provisions of this Section (g)(B) shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
(C) Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the Exercise Price or the
number of Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant
Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued shall, unless the Company shall
exercise its option to issue new Warrant Certificates pursuant hereto, continue
to express the Exercise Price per share and the number of shares purchasable
thereunder as the Exercise Price per share and the number of shares purchasable
thereunder as expressed in the Warrant Certificates when the same were
originally issued.
(D) After each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section
(g), the Company will promptly prepare a certificate signed by the Chairman or
President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary, of the Company setting forth: (i) the Exercise Price as so
adjusted, (ii) the number of Securities purchasable upon exercise of each
Warrant, after such adjustment, and (iii' a brief statement of the facts
accounting for such adjustment. The Company will promptly file such certificate
in the Company's minute books and cause a brief summary thereof to be sent by
ordinary first class mail to each Holder at his last address as it shall appear
on the registry books of the Company. No failure to mail such notice nor any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity thereof
except as to the holder to whom the Company failed to mail such notice, or
except as to the holder whose notice was defective. The affidavit of an officer
or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company that such notice has
been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts
stated therein.
(E) No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made as a result of or in
connection with the issuance or sale of Securities if the amount of said
adjustment shall be less than $.10, provided, however, that in such case, any
adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent
adjustment that shall amount, together with any adjustment so carried forward,
to at least $.10. In addition, Holders shall not be entitled to cash dividends
paid by the Company prior to the exercise of any Warrant or Warrants held by
them.
4
(F) In the event that the Company shall at any time prior to the exercise of
all Warrants declare a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common Stock or
otherwise distribute to its stockholders any assets, property, rights, evidences
of indebtedness, the Holders of the unexercised Warrants shall thereafter be
entitled, in addition to the Securities or other securities and property
receivable upon the exercise thereof, to receive, upon the exercise of such
Warrants, the same property, assets, rights, evidences of indebtedness, that
they would have been entitled to receive at the time of such dividend or
distribution as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution. At the time of any such dividend or distribution, the
Company shall make appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the
provisions of this Section (g).

effective date of the registration statement and expiring four (4) years
thereafter, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") (other than in connection with a
merger or pursuant to Form X-0, X-0 or other comparable registration statement)
it will give written notice by registered mail, at least thirty (30) days prior
to the filing of each such registration statement, to the Holders and to all
other Holders of the Warrants and/or the Warrant Securities of its intention to

notify the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice of
its or their desire to include any such securities in such proposed registration
statement, the Company shall afford each of the Underwriter and such Holders of
the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities the opportunity to have any such Warrant
Securities registered under such registration statement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Company shall have the
right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this
Section (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any such
securities shall have been made) to elect not to file any such proposed
registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to
the effective date thereof.
(i) Demand Registration.

right (which right is in addition to the registration rights under Section (i)
hereof), exercisable by written notice to the Company, to have the Company
prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"),
on one occasion, a registration statement and such other documents, including a
prospectus, as may be necessary in the opinion of both counsel for the Company
and counsel for the Underwriter and Holders, in order to comply with the
provisions of the Act, so as to permit a public offering and sale of their
respective Warrant Securities for nine (9) consecutive months by such Holders

time commencing one year after the effective date of the registration statement

and/or Warrant Securities shall have the right, exercisable by written request
to the Company, to have the Company prepare and file, on one occasion, with the
Commission a registration statement so as to permit a public offering and sale
for nine (9) consecutive months by such Holders of its Warrant Securities;
provided, however, that the provisions of Section (i)(2) hereof shall not apply
to any such registration request and registration and all costs incident thereto
shall be at the expense of the Holder or Holders making such request.

expenses in connection with all registration statements filed pursuant to
Sections (h), (i) and (j) hereof including, without limitation, the Company's
legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses. If the
Company shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section (j)(i), the Company
shall, in addition to any other equitable or other relief available to the
Holder(s), extend the Exercise Period by such number of days as shall equal the
delay caused by the Company's failure.
(iii)The Company will take all necessary action which may be required in
qualifying or registering the Warrant Securities included in a registration
statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such
states as are reasonably requested by the Holder(s), provided that the Company

expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against
any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to
the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the
Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter contained in Section 7 of the
Underwriting Agreement relating to the offering.
(v) The Holder(s) of the Warrant Securities to be sold pursuant to a
registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and
not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each person,

subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information
furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, for
specific inclusion in such registration statement to the same extent with the
same effect as the provisions contained in Section 7 of the Underwriting
Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriter has agreed to indemnify the Company.
(vi) The Holder(s) may exercise their Warrants prior to the initial
filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.

who have issued a report on the Company's financial statements included in such
registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters
with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included
therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter, with respect to events
subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered

by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements
of that type used by the managing underwriter; provided however, that no Holder
shall be required to make any representations, warranties or covenants or grant
any indemnity to which it shall object in any such underwriting agreement. The

underwritten sale of their Warrant Securities and may, at their option, require
