or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as hereinafter defined)
the number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock of the Company (the "Shares") as provided herein upon surrender
hereof at the principal office of the Company, and, at the election of the
holder hereof upon payment of the purchase price at said office in cash or
by cashier's check or by the wire transfer of funds in a dollar amount
equal to the purchase price of the Shares for which the consideration is
being given.
1. Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, the
purchase price of one share of Common Stock (or such securities as may be
substituted for one share of Common Stock pursuant to the provisions
hereinafter set forth) (the "Warrant Price") shall be the following:
200,000 shares at $1.50 per share
200,000 shares at $2.00 per share
200,000 shares at $2.50 per share
2. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind
of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as
follows:
(a) Adjustment for Dividends in Stock. In case at any time or from
time to time on or after the date that the Company completes its voluntary
reorganization/recapitalization plan as set forth in the Private Placement
Memorandum dated October 1, 1996, the holders of the Common Stock of the
Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the
record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall
have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or
additional stock of the Company by way of dividend (other than as provided
for in Paragraph 2(b) below), then and in each such case, the holder of
this Warrant shall, upon the exercise hereof be entitled to receive, in
addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of
such other or additional stock of the Company which such holder would hold
on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such
Common Stock on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from
the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such
shares and/or all other additional stock receivable by it as aforesaid
during such period, given effect to all adjustments called for during such
period by this Paragraph 2.
152
(b) Adjustment for Changes in Common Stock. In the event of changes
in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of split-ups,
recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, combinations
or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the
like, occurring after the Company completes its voluntary
reorganzation/recapitalization plan as set forth in the Private Placement
Memorandum dated October 1, 1996, the number and class of shares available
under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Warrant Price shall be
correspondingly adjusted by the Board of Directors of the Company. The
adjustment shall be such as will give the holder of the Warrant on exercise
for the same aggregate Warrant Price the total number, class, and kind of
shares as he would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the
event and had he continued to hold such shares until after the event
requiring adjustment.
3. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be
issued in connection with any subscription hereunder. In lieu of any
fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay
cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market
value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, as determined
by the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock on the
date of exercise as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors.

any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise thereof

holder or its registered assigns, in whole or in part and in minimum units
of 10,000 shares, by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Company, together with the form of subscription hereof duly
executed, accompanied by payment in full of the amount of the Warrant Price
in the form described m this Warrant. Upon partial exercise hereof a new
warrant or warrants containing the same date and provisions as this Warrant
shall be issued by the Company to the registered holder for the number of
shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant shall not have
been exercised. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for
exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all
purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of the close of business
on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date, the Company
shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the
same, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any
fraction of a share as provided above.
7 Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Warrant Price is adjusted as
herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the record holder of
this Warrant a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the
relevant Warrant Price or number of shares after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
8. Compliance With Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof agrees that this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock
to be issued upon exercise hereof (or shares of any security into which
such Common Stock may be converted) are being acquired for investment and
that the holder will not offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant
and any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof (or shares
of any security into which such Common Stock may be converted) except under
circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the
holder hereof shall, if requested by the
153
Company, confirm in writing its investment purpose and acceptance of the
restrictions on transfer of the shares of Common Stock.

in connection with a transfer or exercise of a portion of the Warrant, upon
surrender of such Warrant for such purpose to the Company, the Company at
its expense (except for any transfer tax payable) will issue and exchange
therefor warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase such number of shares of such Common Stock as shall be
designated by such holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however,
that the Company's obligations to subdivide securities under this section
shall be subject to and conditioned upon the compliance of any such
