commencing on the date hereof, is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant with
the subscription form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the
Company, 80 Blanchard Road, Burlington, MA 01803, or such other office as the
Company shall notify the Holder of in writing, to purchase from the Company at a
price per share (the "Purchase Price") of $4.00, fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock").
Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires, the Purchase
Price and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided.

     3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid in cash or by
         ------------------------
check.

     4. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder
        ----------------
shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date
of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant
shall not have been exercised.

     5. Issuance Date. The person or persons in whose name or names any
        -------------
certificate representing shares of Common Stock is issued hereunder shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as
at the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised with respect to
such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.

     6. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the
        -----------------------------------
close of business on August 4, 2004, and shall be void thereafter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be
exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any
further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this
Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence.

     7. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at
        -------------------------------
all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number
of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive or similar
rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant in
full. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant
to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issuance thereof.

     8. Dividends. If after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 15
        ---------
hereof) the Company shall subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise,
or combine the Common Stock, or issue additional shares of Common Stock in
payment of a stock dividend on the Common Stock, the number of shares issuable
on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in
the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or
<PAGE>

proportionately decreased in the case of a combination, and the Purchase Price
shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or
stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

     9.  Mergers and Reclassifications. If after the Original Issue Date there
         -----------------------------
shall be any reclassification, capital reorganization or change of the Common
Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend
provided for in Section 9 hereof), or any consolidation of the Company with, or
merger of the Company into, another corporation or other business organization
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the
outstanding Common Stock), or any sale or conveyance to another corporation or
other business organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, lawful provisions shall be made, and
duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor
shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall thereafter have the
right to purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise
of this Warrant in full, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased by the Holder immediately
prior to such reclassification, reorganization, change, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made
with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder to the end that the
provisions hereof (including without limitation, provisions for the adjustment
of the Purchase Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder) shall
thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other securities
and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof.

     10. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Common
         -----------------
Stock be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If, upon exercise of this
Warrant as an entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 11,
be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock, then the Company
shall issue the next higher number of full shares of Common Stock, issuing a
full share with respect to such fractional share.

     11. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as
         -------------------------
herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate
of a firm of independent public accountants setting forth the Purchase Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment.

         ---------------------------

any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,

         (b)   any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, capital
reorganization of the Company, consolidation or merger involving the Company, or

(ii) the date on which any such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take
place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record in
respect of such event are to be determined. Such notice shall be mailed at least
20 days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is
to be taken.

     13. Amendment. The terms of this Warrant may be amended, modified or waived
         ---------
only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of Warrants
representing at least two-thirds of the number of shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. No such amendment, modification or
waiver shall be effective as to this Warrant unless the terms of such amendment,

any or all of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant
to the Company, together with the assignment hereof properly endorsed, for
transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by the Holder, the Company shall issue a
new warrant of the same denomination to the assignee. Upon surrender of this
Warrant to the Company, together with the assignment hereof properly endorsed,

respect of which this Warrant shall not have been transferred

         (c). In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue a new warrant of like tenor and denomination
and deliver the same (i) in exchange and substitution for and upon surrender and
cancellation of any mutilated Warrant, or (ii) in lieu of any Warrant lost,
stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant (including a
reasonably detailed affidavit with respect to the circumstances of any loss,
theft or destruction) and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
