          certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B

          to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 904 under
          the Securities Act (and based on an opinion of counsel if the Warrant
          Issuers so request), a certification to that effect (in substantially
          the form of Exhibit B hereto); or

               (D)  if such Registrable Security is being transferred in
          reliance on another exemption from the registration requirements of

     permitted to exchange such Registrable Security for a Warrant that does not
     bear the legend set forth in clause (i) above and rescind any restriction

          (c)  Obligations with respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.
               --------------------------------------------------------------- 

          (i)  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Warrant
     Issuers shall execute in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and
     this Section 6, Warrants as required pursuant to the provisions of this
     Section 6.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
     Warrant Issuers shall refuse to register any transfer of the Warrants not
     made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the
     Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration
     requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that if a foreign
                                         --------  -------                   
     law prevents the Warrant Issuers from refusing to register securities
     transfers, the Warrant Issuers shall implement other reasonable measures
     designed to prevent transfers of the Warrants not made in accordance with
     Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant
     to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the
     Securities Act.

          (ii) All Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or
     exchange of Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Warrant Issuers,
     entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement, as the Warrants
     surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
          (iii) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any
     Warrant, the Warrant Issuers may deem and treat the person in whose name
     any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant and the
     Warrant Issuers shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

          (iv)  No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration
     of transfer or exchange.

          (j)   Exchange of Warrants After Restructuring Date.  Upon the
                ---------------------------------------------           
effectiveness of the Restructuring, CGX, as the sole parent holding company for
Cleartel and CAIS (a) automatically shall become the sole Warrant Issuer of
Warrants in an aggregate amount equivalent to the percentage of its Common Stock
(on a fully diluted basis) then outstanding as the applicable percentages of
Warrants to which the Warrant Holders would have been entitled to prior to the
Restructuring Date and (b) shall assume all of Cleartel's and CAIS' obligations
under this Agreement and the Warrant Registration Rights Agreement.  As of the
Restructuring Date, the outstanding Warrants shall be exchanged for Warrants
representing Warrants issued by CGX in accordance with this Section 6.

          Section 7.  Terms of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants.  Subject to the
                      ---------------------------------------                 
terms of this Agreement, each Warrant Holder shall have the right, which may be
exercised at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing at
9:00 a.m., New York City time, commencing on the 30th day after the Closing Date
and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, to receive
from the Warrant Issuers the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant
Shares which the Holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of
such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price then in effect for such Warrant
Shares; provided, however, that no Warrant Holder shall be entitled to exercise
        --------  -------                                                      
such Holder's Warrants at any time, unless, at the time of exercise, (i) a
registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the Warrant Shares
has been filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission, and no stop
order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement has been
issued by the Commission or (ii) the issuance of the Warrant Shares is permitted
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.  Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph of this Section 7,

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
each Warrant not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in
respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time. No adjustments
as to dividends will be made upon exercise of the Warrants.

          The Warrant Issuers shall give notice not less than 90, and not more
than 120, days prior to the Expiration Date to the Holders of all then
outstanding Warrants to the effect that the Warrants will terminate and become
void as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. If the Warrant
Issuers fail to give such notice, the Warrants will not expire until 90 days
after the Warrant Issuers give such notice, provided, however, in no event will
Holders be entitled to any damages or other remedy for the Warrant Issuers'
failure to give such notice other than any such extension.

          A Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Warrant Issuers of
the certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrant to be exercised with the
form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof properly completed and
signed, which signature shall be guaranteed by a bank or trust company having an
office or correspondent in the United States or a broker or dealer which is a
member of a registered securities exchange or the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., and upon payment to the Warrant Issuers of the
Exercise Price as adjusted as herein provided, for each of the Warrant Shares in
respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price shall be made in cash or by certified or official bank check,
payable to the order of the Warrant Issuers. In the alternative, each Holder may
exercise its right to receive Warrant Shares (i) on a net basis, such that
without the exchange of any funds, the Holder receives that number of Warrant
Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of its Warrants less that number of
Warrant Shares having a fair market value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price
that would otherwise have been paid by the Holder for the Warrant Shares being
issued, (ii) by tendering Loans or converted Notes having an aggregate principal
amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the date of
exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price that would otherwise have been
paid by the Holder for the Warrant Shares being issued, or (iii) by a
combination of the procedures in clauses (i) and (ii). For purposes of the

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
foregoing sentence, "fair market value" of the Warrant Shares shall be as
determined by the Boards of Directors of the Warrant Issuers in good faith and
evidenced by a resolution thereof. The Warrant Issuers shall notify the Holders
in writing of any such determination of fair market value.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, upon surrender of
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price as provided above, the Warrant
Issuers shall promptly transfer to the Holder of such Warrant a certificate or
certificates for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares or other securities or
property (including any money) to which the Holder is entitled, registered or
otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, such name or names as may be
directed in writing by the Holder, and shall deliver such certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares and any other securities or
property (including any money) to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the
same, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as
provided in Section 14. Any such certificate or certificates representing the
Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and any Person so designated
to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such
Warrant Shares as of the later of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and
payment of the Exercise Price.

          The Warrants shall be exercisable commencing on the Issue Date, at the
election of the Holders thereof, either in full or from time to time in part
and, in the event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is exercised in respect
of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise at any time
prior to the date of expiration of the Warrants, a new certificate evidencing
the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued and delivered pursuant to the
provisions of this Section and of Section 4 hereof.

          All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall
be cancelled.  Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of in
accordance with customary procedures.

          Section 8.  Payment of Taxes.  The Warrant Issuers will pay all
                      ----------------

upon the exercise of Warrants and to any separation of the Warrants from the

Notes; provided, however, that the Warrant Issuers shall not be required to pay
       --------  -------                                                       
any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a
name other than that of the Holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the
exercise of a Warrant, and the Warrant Issuers shall not be required to issue or
deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Warrant Issuers the
amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Warrant
Issuers that such tax has been paid.

          Section 9.  Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates.  In case any of
                      -----------------------------------------                 
the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Warrant Issuers may in their discretion issue in exchange and substitution for
and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and
substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of
Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Warrant Issuers of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate
and, if requested, indemnity reasonably satisfactory to them. Applicants for
such substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such other
reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Warrant
Issuers may prescribe.

          Section 10. Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Warrant Issuers will
                      -----------------------------                           
at all times reserve and keep available, free from any preemptive rights, out of
the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and
issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to
satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the
exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

          The transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") and
every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Warrant Issuers' capital
stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid will
be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of
authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose. The Warrant Issuers
will keep a 

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every subsequent
transfer agent for any shares of the Warrant Issuers' capital stock issuable
upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The
Warrant Issuers will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates
for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which
may be payable as provided in Section 14. The Warrant Issuers will furnish such
Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related
thereto, transmitted to each Holder of the Warrants pursuant to Section 15
hereof.

          Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to
Section 12 hereof that would reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value
(if any) of the Warrant Shares, the Warrant Issuers will take any corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the
Warrant Issuers may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.

          The Warrant Issuers covenant that all Warrant Shares which may be
issued upon exercise of Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(including the payment of the Exercise Price) will, upon issue, be duly and
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free of preemptive rights and
Liens.

          Section 11. Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings.  The Warrant Issuers
                      ---------------------------------                      
will from time to time take all action which may be necessary so that the
Warrant Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of Warrants,
will be listed on the principal securities exchanges and markets (including,
without limitation, the Nasdaq National or SmallCap Markets) within the United
States of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are then
listed. Upon the listing of such Warrant Shares, the Warrant Issuers shall
notify the Holders in writing. The Warrant Issuers will obtain and keep all
required permits and records in connection with such listing.

          Section 12. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares
                      ---------------------------------------------------------
Issuable.  The number and kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of
--------                                                                 
Warrants and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to 

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
time (as set forth in the notices required by Section 15 hereof) as follows:

          (a)  Stock Splits, Combinations, etc.  In case any of the Warrant
               -------------------------------                             
Issuers shall hereafter (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common
Stock in shares of its capital stock (whether shares of Common Stock or of
capital stock of any other class), (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock
any shares of capital stock of such Warrant Issuer, the Exercise Price in effect
and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant
immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any
Warrant thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the number of shares
of capital stock of such Warrant Issuer which such Holder would have owned
immediately following such action had such Warrant been exercised immediately
prior thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend and shall
become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment
made pursuant to this paragraph, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised
shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock
of such Warrant Issuer, the Board of Directors of such Warrant Issuer (whose
determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board resolution) shall
determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between or among shares
of such classes of capital stock.

          (b)  Reclassification, Combinations, Mergers, etc.  In case of any
               --------------------------------------------                 
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants (other than as set forth in paragraph (a) above and
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 any of the Warrant Issuers with or into
another corporation (other than a merger in which such Warrant Issuer 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) or in case of 

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
any sale or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the
assets of such Warrant Issuer, then, as a condition of such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, such Warrant Issuer or such a
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall forthwith 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 shares of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and enter into a supplemental warrant
agreement so providing. Such provisions shall include provision for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Section 12. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon
exercise of Warrants under the supplemental warrant agreement is an affiliate of
the formed, surviving or transferee corporation, that issuer shall join in the
supplemental warrant agreement. The above provisions of this paragraph (b) shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common
Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

          (c)  Issuance of Options or Convertible Securities.  In the event any
               ---------------------------------------------                   
of the Warrant Issuers shall, at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof, issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any manner (including by
assumption) to all holders of the Common Stock any rights to subscribe for or to
purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any
stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (any such
rights, warrants or options being herein called "Options" and any such
convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible
Securities") or any Convertible Securities (other than upon exercise of any
Option), whether or not such Options or the rights to convert or exchange such
Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and if the price per share
at which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing
(i) the aggregate amount, if any, received or receivable by such Warrant Issuer
as 

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
consideration for the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options
or any such Convertible Security, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to such Warrant Issuer upon the
exercise of all such Options or upon conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of Options to acquire Convertible
Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any,
payable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by
(ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options) shall be less than
the current market price per share of Common Stock on the record date for the
issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or Convertible
Securities (any such event being herein called a "Distribution"), then,
effective upon such Distribution, (I) the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the
price (calculated to the nearest 1/1,000 of one cent) determined by multiplying
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Distribution by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) immediately prior to
such Distribution multiplied by the current market price per share of Common
Stock on the date of such Distribution plus (ii) the consideration, if any,
received by such Warrant Issuer in respect of such Distribution, and the
denominator of which shall be the product of (A) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) immediately after
such Distribution multiplied by (B) the current market price per share of Common
Stock on the record date for such Distribution and (II) the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased to
a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock so
purchasable immediately prior to the record date for such Distribution by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment required by clause (I) of this sentence and
the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after
such adjustment. For purposes of the foregoing, the total maximum number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all such Options or upon
conversion or exchange of all such 

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of the total maximum
amount of the Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such
Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such Distribution
and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and such Warrant Issuer shall
be deemed to have received as consideration therefor such price per share,
determined as provided above. Except as provided in paragraphs (i) and (j)
below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the
actual exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the
Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of the Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options.


          (d)  Dividends and Distributions.  In the event any of the Warrant
               ---------------------------                                  
Issuers shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof,
distribute to all the holders of Common Stock any dividend or other distribution
of cash, evidences of its indebtedness, other securities or other properties or
assets (in each case other than (i) dividends payable in Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities and (ii) any cash dividend that, when added to all
other cash dividends paid in the one year prior to the declaration date of such
dividend (excluding any such other dividend included in a previous adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to this paragraph (d) and excluding any cash
dividends or other cash distributions from current or retained earnings), does
not exceed 5% of the current market price per share of Common Stock on such
declaration date), or any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any of the foregoing, then (A) the Exercise Price shall be decreased to
a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share of
Common Stock on the record date for such distribution less the sum of (X) the
cash portion, if any, of such distribution per share of Common Stock outstanding
(exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution plus
(Y) the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of such Warrant Issuer) per share of Common Stock outstanding
(exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution of
that portion, if any, of such distribution consisting of evidences of
indebtedness, other securities, properties, assets, options, warrants or

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
subscription or purchase rights, and the denominator of which shall be such
current market price per share of Common Stock and (B) the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased to
a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock so
purchasable immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment required by clause (A) of this sentence and
the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after
such adjustment. The adjustments required by this paragraph (d) shall be made
whenever any such distribution occurs retroactive to the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

          (e)  Current Market Price.  For the purpose of any computation of
               --------------------                                        
current market price under this Section 12 and Section 14, the current market
price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be (x) for purposes of Section
14, the closing price on the business day immediately prior to the exercise of
the applicable Warrant pursuant to Section 7 and (y) in all other cases, the
average of the daily closing prices for the shorter of (i) the 20 consecutive
trading days ending on the last full trading day on the exchange or market
specified in the second succeeding sentence prior to the Time of Determination
(as defined below) and (ii) the period commencing on the date next succeeding
the first public announcement of the issuance, sale, distribution or granting in
question through such last full trading day prior to the Time of Determination.
The term "Time of Determination" as used herein shall be the time and date of
the earlier to occur of (A) the date as of which the current market price is to
be computed and (B) the last full trading day on such exchange or market before
the commencement of "ex-dividend" trading in the Common Stock relating to the
event giving rise to the adjustment required by paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d)
above. The closing price for any day shall be the last reported sale price
regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way for such day, in each
case (1) on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of
Common Stock are listed or to which such shares are admitted to trading or (2)
if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on a national
securities exchange, in the over-the-counter 

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
market as reported by Nasdaq National or SmallCap Markets or any comparable
system or (3) if the Common Stock is not listed on Nasdaq National or SmallCap
Markets or a comparable system, as furnished by two members of the NASD selected
from time to time in good faith by the Boards of Directors of the Warrant
Issuers for that purpose. In the absence of all of the foregoing, or if for any
other reason the current market price per share cannot be determined pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (e), the current market price per
share shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the
Boards of Directors of the Warrant Issuers and evidenced by a Board resolution.

          (f)  Certain Distributions.  If any of the Warrant Issuers shall pay a
               ---------------------                                            
dividend or make any other distribution payable in Options or Convertible
Securities, then, for purposes of paragraph (c) above, such Options or
Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without
consideration.

          (g)  Consideration Received.  If any shares of Common Stock, Options
               ----------------------                                         
or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
received by the Warrant Issuers in respect thereof shall be deemed to be the
then fair market value of such consideration (as determined in good faith by the
Boards of Directors of the Warrant Issuers and evidenced by a Board resolution).
If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other
securities of the Warrant Issuers, together comprising one integral transaction
in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties
thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration;
provided, however, that if such Options have an exercise price equal to or
--------  -------                                                         
greater than the current market price of the Common Stock on the date of
issuance of such Options, then such Options shall be deemed to have been issued
for consideration equal to such exercise price.

          (h)  Deferral of Certain Adjustments.  No adjustment to the Exercise
               -------------------------------                                
Price (including the related adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant) shall be required hereunder
unless such adjustment, together with other adjustments carried forward as
provided below, would 

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
result in an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Exercise Price;
provided that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (h) are not
--------
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value
of the Common Stock. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the
nearest 1/1,000 of one cent or to the nearest 1/1000 of a share, as the case may
be.

          (i)  Changes in Options and Convertible Securities.  If the exercise
               ---------------------------------------------                  
price provided for in any Options referred to in paragraph (c) above, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph (c) or (d) above, or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph (c) or (d) above are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time
(other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against
dilution upon an event which results in a related adjustment pursuant to this
Section 12), the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall forthwith be
readjusted (effective only with respect to any exercise of any Warrant after
such readjustment) to the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock so
purchasable that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the
issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or Convertible
Securities been made based upon such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, but only with respect to
such Options and Convertible Securities as then remain outstanding.

          (j)  Expiration of Options and Convertible Securities.  If, at any
               ------------------------------------------------             
time after any adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon the exercise of each Warrant shall have been made pursuant to paragraph
(c), (d) or (i) above or this paragraph (j), any Options or Convertible
Securities shall have expired unexercised, the number of such shares so
purchasable shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be
such as they would have been had they been originally adjusted (or had the
original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if (i) the only
shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued in connection with such

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
Options or Convertible Securities were the shares of Common Stock, if any,
actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or Convertible
Securities and (ii) such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for
the consideration actually received by the Warrant Issuers upon such exercise
plus the aggregate consideration, if any, actually received by the Warrant
Issuers for the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of all such Options or
Convertible Securities, whether or not exercised; provided that no such
                                                  --------             
readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of such shares so
purchasable by an amount (calculated by adjusting such decrease to account for
all other adjustments made pursuant to this Section 12 following the date of the
original adjustment referred to above) in excess of the amount of the adjustment
initially made in respect of the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of
such Options or Convertible Securities.

          (k)  Other Adjustments.  In the event that at any time, as a result of
               -----------------                                                
an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12, the Holders shall become
entitled to receive any securities of the Warrant Issuers other than shares of
Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities so receivable upon
exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price applicable to such exercise
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares of
Common Stock contained in this Section 12.

          Section 13.  Statement on Warrants.  Irrespective of any adjustment in
                       ---------------------                                    
the number or kind of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the
Exercise Price, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to
express the same number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants
initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

          Section 14.  Fractional Interest.  The Warrant Issuers shall not be
                       -------------------                                   
required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants.
If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same
time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall
be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock acquirable on exercise of the Warrants so
presented. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the
provisions of this Section, be issuable on 

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Warrant Issuers
shall direct the Transfer Agent to pay an amount in cash calculated by it equal
to (i) the then current market price per share multiplied by such fraction
computed to the nearest whole cent, less (ii) an amount equal to the Exercise
Price multiplied by such fraction computed to the nearest whole cent. The
Holders, by their acceptance of the Warrant Certificates, expressly waive any
and all rights to receive any fraction of a share of Common Stock or a stock
certificate representing a fraction of a share of Common Stock.

          Section 15.  Notices to Warrant Holders and the Warrant Agent.  Upon
                       ------------------------------------------------       
any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 12, the Warrant Issuers
shall promptly thereafter cause to be given to each of the registered Holders by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, and to the Agent a certificate executed by
the Chief Financial Officer of the Warrant Issuers setting forth the Exercise
Price after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based and setting
forth the number of Warrant Shares (or portion thereof) issuable after such
adjustment in the Exercise Price, upon exercise of a Warrant and payment of the
adjusted Exercise Price, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence, absent
manifest error, of the correctness of the matters set forth therein.  The Agent
shall be entitled to rely on the above-referenced certificate and shall be under
no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate, except to
exhibit the same from time to time to any Holder desiring an inspection thereof
during reasonable business hours.  The Agent shall not at any time be under any
duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist that
may require any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock or other
stock or property issuable on exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price, or
with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with
respect to the method employed in making such adjustment or the validity or
value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or other stock or
property which may be issuable on exercise of the Warrants. The Warrant Agent
shall not be responsible for any failure of the Warrant Issuers to make any cash
payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock
certificates or 

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
other common stock or property upon the exercise of any Warrant.

          In case:


          (a)  the Warrant Issuers shall authorize the issuance to all holders 
     of shares of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for
     or purchase shares of Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or
     warrants; or

          (b)  the Warrant Issuers shall authorize the distribution to all
     holders of shares of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or
     assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of
     consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends payable in shares of
     Common Stock or distributions referred to in Section 12 hereof); or

          (c)  of any consolidation or merger to which any of the Warrant
