state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and the Purchaser's compliance with, the representations,
warranties, acknowledgments, understandings, agreements and covenants of the
Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Note and the
Warrant.

                  -----------

Warrant that have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser and its
advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask all such questions
of the Company as they have in their discretion deemed advisable. The Purchaser
understands that its investment in the Note and the Warrant involves a high
degree of risk. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice

Exchange Commission, (the "SEC") thereunder, and (iii) neither the Company nor
any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the

or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or
any of its subsidiaries is a party, or result in a violation of any law, rule,

laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by
which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound

compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC

SEC Reports, as of their respective dates, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein

enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under, this Agreement or any of the documents contemplated herein.

               m. Brokers; No General Solicitation. The Company has taken no
                  --------------------------------

holder provides the Company with an opinion by counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, that is in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Warrant Share
may be made without registration under the Securities Act or (z) such holder
provides the Company with assurances reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
its counsel, that such Share can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. The Purchaser
agrees that its sale of all Securities, including those represented by a
certificate(s) from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally
issued without the Legend, shall be made only pursuant to an effective
registration statement (and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such
sale) or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act. In the event the Legend is removed from any Warrant Share or
any Warrant Share is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness
of a registration statement covering the sales of such Warrant Share is
suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is
required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to
the holder of such Warrant Share, the Company shall be entitled to require that
the Legend be placed upon any such Warrant Share which cannot then be sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to
which the opinion referred to in clause (y) next above has not been rendered,
which Legend shall be removed when such Warrant Share may be sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement or Rule 144 (or such holder provides the
opinion with respect thereto described in clause (y) next above.

               c. Injunctive Relief for Breach. The Company acknowledges that
                  ----------------------------
the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under Sections 5(a) and 5(b)
above will cause irreparable harm to the Purchaser by vitiating the intent and
purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly the Company agrees
that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under such Sections would
be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of such Sections, the Purchaser shall be entitled, in
addition to all other remedies at law or in equity, to an injunction restraining
any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other Warrant Share being
required.

          6.   CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

     The obligations of the Company hereunder are subject to the satisfaction,
on or before the Closing, unless otherwise specified, of each of the following

               b. Priority on Primary Registration. In the case of any
                  --------------------------------
underwritten offering, if the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing that in their opinion the total number of shares of Common Stock
requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of shares of
Common Stock which can be sold in such offering, the Company will include in
such registration:

               (a) first, all shares of Common Stock the Company proposes to
     sell;

               (b) second, all shares of Common Stock of holders (including
     holders of options and warrants to purchase common stock) who have superior
     registration rights in such underwriting; and

               (c) third, the Registrable Securities and such other shares of
     Common Stock requested to be included in such registration in excess of the
     number of shares of Common Stock the Company or such holders of superior
     registration rights propose to sell which, in the opinion of such
     underwriters, can be sold.

               c. Selection of Underwriters. The Company, in its sole
                  -------------------------
discretion, will have the right to select the investment banker or investment
bankers and manager or managers to administer the offering.

               d. Underwriting Agreement. If Holders elect to participate in an
                  ----------------------
underwritten public offering pursuant to this Section 3, all Holders proposing
to distribute their Registrable Securities through the applicable Piggyback
Registration shall enter into, and perform such obligations set forth in an
underwriting agreement in customary form, including, without limitation,
indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter(s)
selected by the Company for such underwritten public offering.

          4.   EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION

     All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the
Holders in connection with registrations pursuant to Section 3 shall be borne by
the Holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so
registered, and all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations
pursuant to the Agreement shall be borne by the Company, provided that the fees
and expenses of counsel, accountants, advisers and other persons retained by the
Holders to represent them in connection with any registrations pursuant to
Section 3, and the expenses of special audits, if any, required exclusively by
the inclusion of the Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to
Section 3, shall be borne by the Holders in proportion to the aggregate selling
price of the Registrable Securities of each Holder to be so registered.

          5.   REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

     In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by
the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder
advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration, qualification and
compliance and as to the completion thereof. Additionally, the Company will
furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the

                                       3

<PAGE>

Exhibit 10.31

underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies
of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such
other documents as such Holders and underwriters may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the public offering of such securities.

          6.   INDEMNIFICATION

               a. Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, each party
                  ---------------
will indemnify the other party and each of its respective officers, directors,
Investors, employees, representatives and partners, and each Controlling Person,
with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been
effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each
Controlling Person of any underwriter, against all reasonable expenses, claims,
losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of
the foregoing incurred in any investigation or inquiry or in any settlement of
any litigation commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration,
qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, or any violation by of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or
any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law applicable in
connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and each
party will reimburse the other party and each of its respective officers,
directors, Investors, employees, representatives and partners, and each such
Controlling Person, each such underwriter and each such Controlling Person of
any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 6 shall not (i) apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is
effected without the consent of the other party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld); (ii) apply to any such case for any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in connection with such registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, final prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the other party
expressly for use in connection with such registration, underwriter, or
controlling person; or (iii) inure to the benefit of any underwriter from whom
the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
Registrable Securities which are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any
person controlling such underwriter) with respect to a preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus if such underwriter (if required by the Act) failed to send or
give a copy of the most recent prospectus, if the most recent prospectus
furnished by the Company shall correct the untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission which is the basis of the loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action for which indemnification is sought, to such person
at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable
Securities to such person.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a registration under Section
3 the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities under this
Section 6 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by
such Holder for securities sold by it in such offering, unless such liability
arises out of or is based on willful conduct of the Holder or its officers,
directors, agents or employees. Furthermore, the Company shall only be obligated
under this Section 6 to pay the legal expenses of one law firm which has been
chosen to represent all of the Holders.

Exhibit 10.31

               b. Defense of Claims. Each party entitled to indemnification
                  -----------------
under Section 6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party
required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after
such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity
may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of
any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for
the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under the Agreement unless the failure to
give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to
defend such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) if the
Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the
positions of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party in connection
with the defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or other
proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified
Party different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Party, then, at the sole cost and expense of such Indemnified Party, counsel for
the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to conduct a defense to the extent
reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interest of
the Indemnified Party, and (ii) in any event, the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to have counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party participate in, but
not to conduct, the defense. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not
include as a unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such
claim or litigation.

          7.   INFORMATION FROM HOLDERS

     The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any
registration shall, as a condition precedent to the Company's obligation to
register the securities of such Holder or Holders, furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities held by
them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may
request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement. At the request of the
Company, each Holder who is including any Registrable Securities in the
registration shall deposit in escrow with an escrow agent chosen by the Company
those Registrable Securities which such Holder proposes to sell, accompanied by
an irrevocable power of attorney authorizing the escrow agent to, without
limitation, sell such Registrable Securities to the underwriter upon the
effectiveness of the registration statement.

          8.   TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to Holders
under Section 3 may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with
any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by a Holder, provided that:
(i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable
securities laws, and (ii) written notice thereof is promptly given to the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights to cause the Company to
register securities may be assigned to any constituent partner or affiliate of a
Holder, without compliance with item (ii) above, provided written notice thereof
is promptly given to the Company.

Exhibit 10.31

          9.   COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144

     The Company covenants that it shall (a) file any reports required to be
filed by it under the Exchange Act and (b) take such further action as each
Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request (including providing any
information necessary to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act), all to
the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable
Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such
rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rules or regulations
hereafter adopted by the SEC. The Company shall, upon the request of any Holder
of Registrable Securities, deliver to such Holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such requirements.

          10.  MISCELLANEOUS

               a. Remedies. Each Holder of Registrable Securities, in addition
                  --------
to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein and in the Purchase
Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that
monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees
to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate. However, no Holder shall have any right to take any action to
restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration proposed to be undertaken
by the Company as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to
the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

               b. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after

securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of
Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities

rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities under any such
agreements.

                  --------------------------------------------
not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the
Registrable Securities which would adversely affect the ability of the Holders
of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a
registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

               d. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
                  ----------------------

supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders
of at least 66-2/3% of the Registrable Securities.

non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and

of Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or
of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing
hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
otherwise available.

          3.2 Notices. Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall
              -------

              ------------------
Note, Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof reasonable costs of collection,

interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum

                                                                   Exhibit 10.31

     (c) The term "Other Securities" refers to any stock (other than Common
Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or

Securities pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise.

     1. Exercise of Warrant.
        -------------------

          1.1. Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise. From and after the date
               ---------------------------------------
hereof through and including the Expiration Date, the holder hereof shall be
entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant in whole in accordance with
the terms of subsection 1.2 or upon exercise of this Warrant in part in
accordance with subsection 1.3, shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject
to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.

          1.2. Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part by
               --------
the holder hereof by (a) delivery of an original or fax copy of the form of
subscription attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Subscription Form") duly
executed by such Holder, to the Company at its principal office or at the office
of its warrant agent (as provided hereinafter), accompanied by payment, in cash,
wire transfer, or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of
the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price
(as hereinafter defined) then in effect or (b) by delivery to the Company of a
written notice of an election to effect a "Cashless Exercise" (as defined below)
for the Warrant Shares. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall
be promptly delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time. The certificates
so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder
and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall
be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in
part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall (subject to
Section 1.5 below), at its expense, at the time of delivery of such
certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant representing the number of
shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. As
used herein, "business day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
a day on which commercial banks in the city of Los Angeles, California are
authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

          1.3. Cashless Exercise. To effect a "Cashless Exercise", the Holder
               -----------------
shall indicate on the notice of the holder's intention to do so, including a
calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
exercise in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event of a Cashless
Exercise, in lieu of paying the Warrant Price in cash, the holder shall
surrender this Warrant or the portion hereof being exercised for that number of
shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to
which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the difference between the then current Fair Market Price per share of the
Common Stock and the Warrant Price, and the denominator of which shall be the
then current Fair Market Price per share of the Common Stock. For this purpose,
the "Fair Market Price" of the Common Stock shall be the closing price of the
Common Stock as reported by The Nasdaq National Market (or other exchange or
market on which the Common Stock is principally traded) on the trading day
immediately preceding the date of notice of exercise.

          1.4. Book Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
               ----------
herein, so long as any Notes remain outstanding, upon exercise of any portion of
this Warrant in accordance with the terms

                                        2

<PAGE>

                                                                   Exhibit 10.31

hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to
the Company unless such holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares
represented by this Warrant. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records
showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of
such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant
upon each such exercise. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant,
the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face
hereof.

          1.5. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the
               ----------------------
exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which
such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with
the provisions of this Warrant. If the holder shall fail to make any such
request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company
to afford to such holder any such rights.

          1.6. Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or trust
               ---------------------------
company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of the Warrant
pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers
and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in
its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be
entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such
successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this
Section 1.

          1.7. No Rights Prior to Exercise. This Warrant shall not entitle the
               ---------------------------
Holder to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

     2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees
        ------------------------------------------------
that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as
of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, the Company
at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will
cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof, or as such
holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct
in compliance with applicable Securities Laws, a certificate or certificates for
the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such holder shall be entitled on
such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair
Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

     3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
        ---------------------------------------------------------

          3.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time
               ------------------------------------------
or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition to the

                                        3

<PAGE>

                                                                   Exhibit 10.31

consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made
by the Company whereby the holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as
provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization,
consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case
may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the
stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such holder
would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such
dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this Warrant,
immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as
provided in Section 4.

          3.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company
               -----------
following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets,
the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to
be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrant after the effective date of
such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company having
its principal office in Los Angeles, CA, as trustee for the holder or holders of
the Warrant.

          3.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation,
               ---------------------
merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in
this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the
terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of
dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be
binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the
case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the
event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such
event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrant be delivered to the Trustee
as contemplated by Section 3.2.

     4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the
        -------------------------------------------
Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The
Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4.
The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to
receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator
is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect
on the date of such exercise.

                                                                   Exhibit 10.31

     5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or
        -----------------------------
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

     6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial
        -------------------------
Statements. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for
issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, all shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.

     7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable
        -------------------------------
Securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be
transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") with respect to any
or all of the Shares. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the
Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the
"Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable Securities
Laws, the Company at its expense but with payment by the Transferor of any
applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the
Transferor thereof a new Warrant or a Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the
Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement
Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces
of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

     8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
        ----------------------
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver, in lieu
thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

     9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been granted certain
        -------------------
registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a
Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and the Holder at or
prior to the issue date of this Warrant. The terms of the Securities Purchase
Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

     11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each holder of
         -------------
the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other
Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging

pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such
issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such
office by such agent.

     12. Transfer on the Company's Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on
         -------------------------------
the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as
the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.

     13. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to
         ------------
the holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to
the Company in writing by such holder or, until any such holder furnishes to the
Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last holder of this
Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.

     14. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived,
         -------------
discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of State of California without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant
shall be brought only in the state courts of Los Angeles or in the federal
courts located in the State of California. The individuals executing this
Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such
courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the
event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which
may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this
Warrant is for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise
affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the
preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of
construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party
against the other party.

          5. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE:

     Without in any way limiting or waiving any right or remedy accorded to

follows:

               (a) Confidential Information: Executive agrees that, neither
                   ------------------------
during the Term nor at anytime thereafter shall Executive (i) disclose to any
person, firm or corporation not employed by the Company or any affiliate of
either (the "Protected Company") or not engaged to render services to any
Protected Company or (ii) use for the benefit of himself, or others, any
confidential information of any Protected Company obtained by the Executive
prior to the execution of this Agreement, during the Term or any time
thereafter, including, without limitation, "know-how," trade secrets, details of
suppliers, pricing policies, financial data, operational methods, marketing and
sales information or strategies, product development techniques or plans or any
strategies relating thereto, technical processes, designs and design projects,
and other proprietary information of any Protected Company; provided, however,
that this provision shall not preclude the Executive from (x) upon advice of
counsel and notice to the Company, making any disclosure required by any
applicable law or (y) using or disclosing information known generally to the
public (other than information known generally to the public as a result of any
violation of this Section 5(a)).

               (b) Property of Company. Any interest in trademarks,
                   -------------------
service-marks, copyrights, copyright applications, patents, patent applications,
slogans, developments and processes which the Executive, during the Term, may
develop relating to the business of the Company in which the Company may then be
engaged and any memoranda, notes, lists, records and other documents (and all
copies thereof) made or compiled by the Executive or made available to the
Executive concerning the business of any Protected Company shall belong and
remain in the possession of any Protected Company, and shall be delivered to the
Company promptly upon the termination of the Executive's employment with Company
or at any other time on request.

               (c) Non-Interference. Executive will not, during the Term hereof
                   ----------------
and for a period of two (2) years after the Term induce any person who is an
executive, officer or agent, customer or supplier of the Company to terminate

                                       16

<PAGE>

          6. OTHER PROVISIONS:

               (a) Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If the Executive breaches,
                   -------------------------------
or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of Section 5 hereof
(the "Restrictive Covenants"), the Company shall have the following rights and
remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other
and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the
Company at law or in equity.

               (b) Accounting. The right and remedy to require the Executive to
                   ----------
account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies,
accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively "Benefits") derived or
received by the Executive as a result of any transactions constituting a breach
of any of the Restrictive Covenants, and the Executive shall account for and pay
over such Benefits to the Company.

               (c) Severability of Covenants. If any court determines that any
                   -------------------------                               ---
of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and
shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

               (d) Blue-Penciling. If any court construes any of the Restrictive
                   --------------
Covenants, or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the duration or
geographic scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce
the duration or scope of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision
shall then be enforceable.

               (e) Enforceability in Jurisdictions. The parties intend to and
                   -------------------------------
hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts
of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants.
If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive
Covenants unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it
is the intention of the parties that such determination not bar or in any way
affect Company's right to the relief provided in this Section 6 in the courts of
any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive
Covenants, as to breaches of such Restrictive Covenants in such other respective
jurisdictions, such Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction
being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

               (f) Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees and understands that the
                   -----------------
remedy at law for any breach by Executive of the provisions of Section 5 hereof
may be inadequate and that damages resulting from such breach may not be
susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged
that upon Executive's breach of any provision of Section 5 hereof, the Company
shall be entitled to seek to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction
injunctive relief to prevent the continuation of such breach. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit the Company's remedies at law or in equity for
