     STOCK WARRANT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 29, 2001, between Cyberian

                                  WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Grantee and Issuer have entered into a Merger Agreement of even
date herewith (the "MERGER AGREEMENT"), which agreement has been executed by the
parties hereto immediately prior to this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, as a condition to Grantee's entering into the Merger Agreement and
in consideration therefor, Issuer has agreed to grant Grantee the Warrant (as
defined in Section 2(a)

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

     other acquisition of all or a substantial portion of the assets of Issuer
     or any Significant Subsidiary of Issuer, (y) a purchase or other
     acquisition (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or
     otherwise) of securities representing 10% or more of the voting power of
     Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of Issuer, or (z) any substantially
     similar transaction; provided, however, that in no event shall any (i)
     merger, consolidation, or similar transaction involving Issuer or any
     Significant Subsidiary in which the voting securities of Issuer outstanding
     immediately prior thereto continue to represent (by either remaining
     outstanding or being converted into the voting securities of the surviving
     entity of any such transaction) at least 65% of the combined voting power
     of the voting securities of the Issuer or the surviving entity outstanding
     immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation, or
     similar transaction, or (ii) any merger, consolidation, purchase or similar
     transaction involving only the Issuer and one or more of its Subsidiaries
     or involving only any two or more of such Subsidiaries, be deemed to be an
     Acquisition Transaction, provided any such transaction is not entered into
     in violation of the terms of the Merger Agreement.

        (c) The term "BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP" shall have the meaning assigned
     thereto in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.

<PAGE>

             (ii) the passage of twelve months after termination of the Merger
        Agreement if such termination follows the occurrence of an Initial
        Triggering Event.

        (e) "HOLDER" shall mean the holder or holders of the Warrant.

        (f) "INITIAL TRIGGERING EVENT" shall mean any of the following events or
     transactions occurring (x) on or after May 1, 2001, in the case of events
     described in Section 1(f)(v), and (y) after the date hereof, with respect
     to events described in the other subsections of this Section 1(f):

             (i) Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (each an "ISSUER
        SUBSIDIARY"), without having received Grantee's prior written consent,
        shall have entered into an agreement to engage in an Acquisition
        Transaction (as defined in Section 1(b)) with any person other than
        Grantee or any of its Subsidiaries (each a "GRANTEE SUBSIDIARY") or the
        Board of Directors of Issuer shall have recommended that the
        stockholders of Issuer approve or accept any Acquisition Transaction or
        shall have failed to publicly oppose an Acquisition Transaction, in each
        case with any person other than Grantee or a Grantee Subsidiary;

             (ii) Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, without having received
        Grantee's prior written consent, shall have authorized, recommended,
        proposed or publicly announced its intention to authorize, recommend or
        propose, to engage in an Acquisition Transaction with any person other
        than Grantee or a Grantee Subsidiary;

             (iii) the Board of Directors of Issuer shall have publicly
        withdrawn or modified, or publicly announced its intention to withdraw
        or modify, in any manner adverse to Grantee, its recommendation that the
        stockholders of Issuer approve the transactions contemplated by the
        Merger Agreement, or the Board of Directors of Issuer shall have failed
        to reaffirm such recommendation within ten days after Grantee requests
        in writing that such recommendation be reaffirmed;

             (iv) The shareholders of Issuer shall have voted and failed to
        approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Merger at a meeting which
        has been held for that purpose or any adjournment or postponement
        thereof, or such meeting shall not have been held in violation of the
        Merger Agreement or shall have been canceled prior to termination of the
        Merger Agreement if, prior to such meeting (or if such meeting shall not
        have been held or shall have been canceled, prior to such termination),
        any person (other than the Grantee or a Grantee Subsidiary) shall have
        made a proposal to Issuer or its stockholders by public announcement or
        written communication that is or becomes the subject of public
        disclosure to engage in an Acquisition Transaction;

             (v) On or after May 1, 2001, any person other than Grantee or any
        Grantee Subsidiary shall have acquired beneficial ownership or the right
        to acquire beneficial ownership of 9.7% or more of the outstanding
        shares of Common Stock (the Issuer recognizes and agrees that the
        Initial Triggering Event described in this Section 1(f)(v) has occurred
        and is continuing as of the date of this Agreement);

             (vi) Any person other than Grantee or any Grantee Subsidiary shall
        have made a bona fide proposal to Issuer or its stockholders by public
        announcement or written

                                       2
<PAGE>

        communication that is or becomes the subject of public disclosure to
        engage in an Acquisition Transaction; or

             (vii) After an overture is made by a person other than Grantee or
        any Grantee Subsidiary to Issuer or its stockholders to engage in an
        Acquisition Transaction, Issuer shall have breached any covenant or
        obligation contained in the Merger Agreement and such breach (x) would
        entitle Grantee to terminate the Merger Agreement and (y) shall not have
        been cured prior to the Notice Date (as defined in Section 3(c)).

        (g) The term "MARKET/OFFER PRICE" shall mean the highest of (i) the
     price per share of Common Stock at which a tender offer or exchange offer
     therefor has been made, (ii) the price per share of Common Stock to be paid
     by any third party pursuant to an agreement with Issuer, (iii) the highest
     closing price for shares of Common Stock within the six-month period
     immediately preceding the date the Holder gives notice of the required
     repurchase of this Warrant or the Owner gives notice of the required
     repurchase of Warrant Shares, as the case may be, or (iv) in the event of a
     sale of all or a substantial portion of Issuer's assets, the sum of the
     price paid in such sale for such assets and the current market value of the
     remaining assets of Issuer as determined by a nationally recognized
     investment banking firm selected by the Holder or the Owner, as the case
     may be, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock of Issuer
     outstanding at the time of such sale. In determining the market/offer
     price, the value of consideration other than cash shall be determined by a
     nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Holder or
     Owner, as the case may be, and reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.

        (h) The term "PERSON" shall have the meaning assigned thereto in
     Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act.

        (i)  A "REPURCHASE EVENT" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
     consummation of any merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving
     Issuer or any purchase, lease or other acquisition of all or a substantial
     portion of the assets of Issuer, other than any such transaction which
     would not constitute an Acquisition Transaction pursuant to the proviso to
     such definition (clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 1(b)); or upon the
     acquisition by any person of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the
     then outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that no such event shall
     constitute a Repurchase Event unless a Subsequent Triggering Event shall
     have occurred prior to an Exercise Termination Event.

        (j) "SUBSEQUENT TRIGGERING EVENT" shall mean either of the following
     events or transactions occurring after the date hereof:

            (i) The acquisition by any person of beneficial ownership of 20% or
        more of the then outstanding Common Stock; or

            (ii) The occurrence of the Initial Triggering Event described in
        Section 1(f)(i), 1(f)(iii). or 1(f)(iv), except that the percentage
        referred to in the definition of Acquisition Transaction in clause (y)
        of Section 1(b) shall be 20%.

                                       3

     2.  GRANT OF WARRANT.

         (a) WARRANT. Issuer hereby grants to Grantee an unconditional,
irrevocable Warrant (the "WARRANT") to purchase, subject to the terms hereof, up
to the "Number" (as defined below) of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Issuer's Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("COMMON STOCK"), at a price of
$0.51 per share (the "WARRANT PRICE"); provided further that in no event shall
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
exceed 19.9% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
without giving effect to any shares subject to or issued pursuant to the
Warrant. The "Number" shall initially be determined by multiplying (x) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding as
of the date of this Agreement by (y) 19.9%. The number of shares of Common Stock
that may be received upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price are
subject to adjustment as herein set forth.

        (b) ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event that any
additional shares of Common Stock are issued or otherwise become outstanding
after the date of this Agreement (other than pursuant to this Agreement), the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrant shall be increased so
that, after such issuance, it equals 19.9% of the number of shares of Common
Stock then issued and outstanding without giving effect to any shares subject or
issued pursuant to the Warrant. Nothing contained in this Section 2(b)or
elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to authorize Issuer or Grantee to
breach any provision of the Merger Agreement.

     3.  EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

        (a) PRECONDITIONS TO EXERCISE. The Holder (as defined in Section 1(e))
may exercise the Warrant, in whole or part, and from time to time, if, but only
if, both an Initial Triggering Event (as defined in Section 1(f)) and a
Subsequent Triggering Event (as defined in Section 1(j) shall have occurred
prior to the occurrence of an Exercise Termination Event (as defined in Section
1(d)).

        (b) NOTIFICATION BY ISSUER AS TO CERTAIN EVENTS. Issuer shall notify
Grantee promptly in writing of the occurrence of any Initial Triggering Event or
Subsequent Triggering Event (together, a "TRIGGERING EVENT"), it being
understood that the giving of such notice by Issuer shall not be a condition to
the right of the Holder to exercise the Warrant.

        (c) NOTICE OF EXERCISE OF WARRANT. In the event the Holder is entitled
to and wishes to exercise the Warrant, it shall send to Issuer a written notice
(the date of which being herein referred to as the "NOTICE DATE") specifying (i)
the total number of shares it will purchase pursuant to such exercise and (ii) a
place and date not earlier than three business days nor later than 60 business
days from the Notice Date for the closing of such purchase (the "CLOSING DATE").
Any exercise of the Warrant shall be deemed to occur on the Notice Date relating
thereto.

        (d) PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. At the closing referred to in Section
3(c), the Holder shall pay to Issuer the aggregate purchase price for the shares
of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant in immediately
available funds by wire

                                       4
<PAGE>

transfer to a bank account designated by Issuer, provided that failure or
refusal of Issuer to designate such a bank account shall not preclude the
Holder from exercising the Warrant.

        (e) DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES. At such closing, simultaneously with the
delivery of immediately available funds as provided in Section 3(d), Issuer
shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the
number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Holder and, if the Warrant
should be exercised in part only, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder, and
the Holder shall deliver to Issuer a copy of this Agreement and a letter
agreeing that the Holder will not offer to sell or otherwise dispose of such
shares in violation of applicable law or the provisions of this Agreement.

        (f) RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Certificates for Common Stock delivered at a
closing hereunder may be endorsed with a restrictive legend that shall read
substantially as follows:

     "The transfer of the shares represented by this certificate is subject to
     certain provisions of an agreement between the registered holder hereof and
     Issuer and to resale restrictions arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
     as amended.  A copy of such agreement is on file at the principal office of
     Issuer and will be provided to the holder hereof without charge upon
     receipt by Issuer of a written request therefor."

It is understood and agreed that: (i) the reference to the resale restrictions
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"), in the above legend
shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificate(s) without such reference
if the Holder shall have delivered to Issuer a copy of a letter from the staff
of the SEC, or an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Issuer, to the effect that such legend is not required for
purposes of the 1933 Act; (ii) the reference to the provisions to this Agreement
in the above legend shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificate(s)
without such reference if the shares have been sold or transferred in compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement and under circumstances that do not
require the retention of such reference; and (iii) the legend shall be removed
in its entirety if the conditions in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) are both
satisfied.  In addition, such certificates shall bear any other legend as may be
required by law.

        (g) HOLDER OF RECORD. Upon the giving by the Holder to Issuer of the
written notice of exercise of the Warrant provided for under Section 3(c) and
the tender of the applicable purchase price in immediately available funds, the
Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of
Issuer shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of
Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. Issuer shall
pay all expenses, and any and all United States federal, state and local taxes
and other charges that may be payable in connection with the preparation, issue
and delivery of stock certificates under this Section 3 in the name of the
Holder or its assignee, transferee or designee.

     4. PROFIT CAP. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
maximum aggregate amount payable to Grantee by Issuer (net of any amounts paid
to reimburse Grantee for the aggregate amount previously paid pursuant hereto by
Grantee as the purchase price or exercise price with respect to any Warrant
Shares) pursuant Section 9, Section 11, or Section 17


                                       5
<PAGE>

shall not exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the
"PROFIT CAP"). Grantee shall promptly return to Issuer any amount received under
Section 9, Section 11, or Section 17 in excess of the Profit Cap.

     5. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE ISSUER. Issuer agrees: (i) that it shall at
all times maintain, free from preemptive rights, sufficient authorized but
unissued or treasury shares of Common Stock so that the Warrant may be exercised
without additional authorization of Common Stock after giving effect to all
other options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights to purchase
Common Stock; (ii) that it will not, by charter amendment or through
reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution or sale of assets, or by any
other voluntary act, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the covenants, stipulations or conditions to be observed or performed
hereunder by Issuer; (iii) promptly to take all action as may from time to time
be required (including complying with all premerger notification, reporting and
waiting period requirements specified in 15 U.S.C. sec. 18a and regulations
promulgated thereunder) in order to permit the Holder to exercise the Warrant
and Issuer duly and effectively to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto;
and (iv) promptly to take all action provided herein to protect the rights of
the Holder against dilution.

     6. SURRENDER AND EXCHANGE. Subject to the provisions of Section 15, this
Agreement (and the Warrant granted hereby) are exchangeable, without expense, at
the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender of this Agreement at
the principal office of Issuer, for other Agreements providing for Warrants of
different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase, on the same
terms and subject to the same conditions as are set forth herein, in the
aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The
terms "AGREEMENT" and "WARRANT" as used herein include any Stock Warrant
Agreements and related Warrants for which this Agreement (and the Warrant
granted hereby) may be exchanged. Upon receipt by Issuer of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Agreement, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably
satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this
Agreement, if mutilated, Issuer will execute and deliver a new Agreement of
like tenor and date. Any such new Agreement executed and delivered shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of Issuer, whether
or not the Agreement so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall at any time
be enforceable by anyone.

     7. FURTHER ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES PURCHASABLE. In addition to the
adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock that are purchasable upon
exercise of the Warrant pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement, the number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the
Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in
this Section 7. In the event of any change in, or distributions in respect of,
the Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, mergers,
recapitalization, combinations, subdivisions, conversions, exchanges of shares,
distributions on or in respect of the Common Stock (whether or not the same
would be prohibited under the terms of the Merger Agreement), or the like, the
type and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise hereof and
the Warrant Price shall be appropriately adjusted in such manner as shall fully
preserve the economic benefits provided hereunder and proper provision shall be
made in any agreement governing any such transaction to provide for such proper
adjustment and the full satisfaction of the Issuer's obligations hereunder.

                                       6
<PAGE>


     8. REGISTRATION. The obligations set forth in this Section 8 shall apply
during such time as securities of the Issuer (or its successors or assigns) are
registered under the 1934 Act. Upon the occurrence of a Subsequent Triggering
Event that occurs prior to an Exercise Termination Event, Issuer shall, at the
request of Grantee delivered within 100 day after such Subsequent Triggering
Event (whether on its own behalf or on behalf of any subsequent holder of this
Warrant (or part thereof) or any of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant
hereto), promptly prepare, file and keep current a shelf registration statement
under the 1933 Act covering the resale of this Warrant and any shares issued
pursuant to this Warrant and the issuance of any shares issuable pursuant to
this Warrant to the extent then permitted under the rules, regulations or
policies of the SEC and, to the extent not so permitted, the resale of such
shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Issuer shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and remain
current in order to permit the sale or other disposition of this Warrant and any
shares of Common Stock issued upon total or partial exercise of this Warrant
("WARRANT SHARES") in accordance with any plan of disposition requested by
Grantee. Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration
statement first to become effective and then to remain effective for such period
not in excess of 180 days from the day such registration statement first becomes
effective or such longer time as may be reasonably necessary to effect such
sales or other dispositions. Grantee shall have the right to demand two such
registrations. The foregoing notwithstanding, if, at the time of any request by
Grantee for registration of the Warrant or Warrant Shares as provided above,
Issuer is in registration with respect to an underwritten public offering of
shares of Common Stock, and if in the good faith judgment of the managing
underwriter or managing underwriters, or, if none, the sole underwriter or
underwriters, of such offering, the inclusion of the Holder's Warrant or Warrant
Shares would interfere with the successful marketing of the shares of Common
Stock offered by Issuer, the number of Warrant Shares otherwise to be covered in
the registration statement contemplated hereby may be reduced; and provided,
however, that after any such required reduction the number of Warrant Shares to
be included in such offering for the account of the Holder shall constitute at
least 25% of the total number of shares to be sold by the Holder and Issuer in
the aggregate; and provided further, however, that if such reduction occurs,
then the Issuer shall file a registration statement for the balance as promptly
as practical and no reduction shall thereafter occur. Each such Holder shall
provide all information reasonably requested by Issuer for inclusion in any
registration statement to be filed hereunder. If requested by any such Holder in
connection with such registration, Issuer shall become a party to any
underwriting agreement relating to the sale of such shares, but only to the
extent of obligating itself in respect of representations, warranties,
indemnities and other agreements customarily included in such underwriting
agreements for the Issuer. Upon receiving any request under this Section 8 from
any Holder, Issuer agrees to send a copy thereof to any other person known to
Issuer to be entitled to registration rights under this Section 8, in each case
by promptly mailing the same, postage prepaid, to the address of record of the
persons entitled to receive such copies. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in no event shall Issuer be obligated to effect more
than two registrations pursuant to this Section 8 by reason of the fact that
there shall be more than one Grantee as a result of any assignment or division
of this Agreement.

     9.  REPURCHASE OF WARRANT.

        (a) WARRANT TO BE REPURCHASED. Immediately prior to the occurrence of a
Repurchase Event (as defined in Section 1(i)), (i) following a request of the
Holder, delivered
                                       7
<PAGE>

prior to an Exercise Termination Event, Issuer (or any successor thereto) shall
repurchase the Warrant from the Holder at a price (the "WARRANT REPURCHASE
PRICE") equal to the amount by which (A) the market/offer price (as defined in
Section 1(g)) exceeds (B) the Warrant Price, multiplied by the number of shares
for which this Warrant may then be exercised and (ii) at the request of the
owner of Warrant Shares from time to time (the "OWNER") delivered within 100
days after such occurrence (or such later period as provided in Section 12),
Issuer shall repurchase such number of the Warrant Shares from the Owner as the
Owner shall designate at a price (the "WARRANT SHARE REPURCHASE PRICE") equal to
the market/offer price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares so designated.

        (b) METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Holder and the Owner, as the case may be,
may exercise its right to require Issuer to repurchase the Warrant and any
Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 9 by surrendering for such purpose to
Issuer, at its principal office, a copy of this Agreement or certificates for
Warrant Shares, as applicable, accompanied by a written notice or notices
stating that the Holder or the Owner, as the case may be, elects to require
Issuer to repurchase this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 9. Within the later to occur of (x) five business
days after the surrender of the Warrant and/or certificates representing Warrant
Shares and the receipt of such notice or notices relating thereto and (y) the
time that is immediately prior to the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Issuer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the Warrant Repurchase
Price and/or to the Owner the Warrant Share Repurchase Price therefor or the
portion thereof that Issuer is not then prohibited under applicable law and
regulation from so delivering.

        (c) PROHIBITION ON REPURCHASE. To the extent that Issuer is prohibited
under applicable law or regulation from repurchasing the Warrant and/or the
Warrant Shares in full, Issuer shall immediately so notify the Holder and/or the
Owner and thereafter deliver or cause to be delivered, from time to time, to the
Holder and/or the Owner, as appropriate, the portion of the Warrant Repurchase
Price and the Warrant Share Repurchase Price, respectively, that it is no longer
prohibited from delivering, within five business days after the date on which
Issuer is no longer so prohibited; provided, however, that if Issuer at any time
after delivery of a notice of repurchase pursuant to Section 9(b) is prohibited
under applicable law or regulation from delivering to the Holder and/or the
Owner, as appropriate, the Warrant Repurchase Price and the Warrant Share
Repurchase Price, respectively, in full (and Issuer hereby undertakes to use its
best efforts to obtain all required regulatory and legal approvals and to file
any required notices as promptly as practicable in order to accomplish such
repurchase), the Holder or Owner may revoke its notice of repurchase of the
Warrant or the Warrant Shares either in whole or to the extent of the
prohibition, whereupon, in the latter case, Issuer shall promptly (i) deliver to
the Holder and/or the Owner, as appropriate, that portion of the Warrant
Repurchase Price or the Warrant Share Repurchase Price that Issuer is not
prohibited from delivering; and (ii) deliver, as appropriate, either (A) to the
Holder, a new Stock Warrant Agreement evidencing the right of the Holder to
purchase that number of shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock for which the surrendered Stock Warrant
Agreement was exercisable at the time of delivery of the notice of repurchase by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the Warrant Repurchase Price less the
portion thereof theretofore delivered to the Holder and the denominator of which
is the Warrant Repurchase Price, or (B) to the Owner a certificate for the
Warrant Shares it is then so prohibited from repurchasing.

        (d) EXERCISE TERMINATION EVENT. The parties hereto agree that Issuer's
obligations to repurchase the Warrant or Warrant Shares under this Section 9
shall not terminate upon the occurrence of an Exercise Termination Event unless
no Subsequent Triggering Event shall have occurred prior to the occurrence of an
Exercise Termination Event.

     10.  SUBSTITUTE WARRANT.

        (a) In the event that prior to an Exercise Termination Event, Issuer
     shall enter into an agreement (i) to consolidate with or merge into any
     person, other than Grantee or one of its Subsidiaries, and shall not be the
     continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, (ii)
     to permit any person, other than Grantee or one of its Subsidiaries, to
     merge into Issuer and Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving
     corporation, but, in connection with such merger, the then outstanding
     shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or
     other securities of any other person or cash or any other property or the
     then outstanding shares of Common Stock shall after such merger represent
     less than 50% of the outstanding voting shares and voting share equivalents
     of the merged company, or (iii) to sell or otherwise transfer all or
     substantially all of its assets to any person, other than Grantee or one of
     its Subsidiaries, then, and in each such case, the agreement governing such
     transaction shall make proper provision so that the Warrant shall, upon the
     consummation of any such transaction and upon the terms and conditions set
     forth herein, be converted into, or exchanged for, a warrant (the
     "Substitute Warrant"), at the election of the Holder, of either (x) the
     Acquiring Corporation (as hereinafter defined) or (y) any person that
     controls the Acquiring Corporation.

        (b)  The following terms have the meanings indicated:

           (i) "ACQUIRING CORPORATION" shall mean (i) the continuing or
        surviving corporation of a consolidation or merger with Issuer (if other
        than Issuer), (ii) Issuer in a merger in which Issuer is the continuing
        or surviving person, and (iii) the transferee of all or substantially
        all of Issuer's assets.

           (ii) "SUBSTITUTE COMMON STOCK" shall mean the common stock issued by
        the issuer of the Substitute Warrant upon exercise of the Substitute
        Warrant.

           (iii) "ASSIGNED VALUE" shall mean the market/offer price, as defined
        in Section 1(g).

           (iv) "AVERAGE PRICE" shall mean the average closing price of a share
        of the Substitute Common Stock for the one year immediately preceding
        the consolidation, merger or sale in question, but in no event higher
        than the closing price of the shares of Substitute Common Stock on the
        day preceding such consolidation, merger or sale; provided that if
        Issuer is the issuer of the Substitute Warrant, the Average Price shall
        be computed with respect to a share of common stock issued by the person
        merging into Issuer or by any company which controls or is controlled by
        such person, as the Holder may elect.

        (c) The Substitute Warrant shall have the same terms as the Warrant,
     provided, that if the terms of the Substitute Warrant cannot, for legal
     reasons, be the same as the Warrant,

                                       9
<PAGE>

     such terms shall be as similar as possible and in no event less
     advantageous to the Holder. The issuer of the Substitute Warrant shall also
     enter into an agreement with the then Holder or Holders of the Substitute
     Warrant in substantially the same form as this Agreement, which shall be
     applicable to the Substitute Warrant.

        (d) The Substitute Warrant shall be exercisable for such number of
     shares of Substitute Common Stock as is equal to the Assigned Value
     multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is
     then exercisable, divided by the Average Price. The exercise price of the
     Substitute Warrant per share of Substitute Common Stock shall then be equal
     to the Warrant Price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
     be the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is then
     exercisable and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
     Substitute Common Stock for which the Substitute Warrant is exercisable.

        (e) In no event, pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this
     Section 10, shall the Substitute Warrant be exercisable for more than 19.9%
     of the shares of Substitute Common Stock outstanding prior to exercise of
     the Substitute Warrant. In the event that the Substitute Warrant would be
     exercisable for more than 19.9% of the shares of Substitute Common Stock
     outstanding prior to exercise but for this clause (e), the issuer of the
     Substitute Warrant (the "SUBSTITUTE WARRANT ISSUER") shall make a cash
     payment to Holder equal to the excess of (i) the value of the Substitute
     Warrant without giving effect to the limitation in this clause (e) over
     (ii) the value of the Substitute Warrant after giving effect to the
     limitation in this clause (e). This difference in value shall be determined
     by a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Holder
     or the Owner, as the case may be, and reasonably acceptable to the
     Acquiring Corporation.

        (f) Issuer shall not enter into any transaction described in Section
     1010 unless the Acquiring Corporation and any person that controls the
     Acquiring Corporation assume in writing all the obligations of Issuer
     hereunder.

     11.  REPURCHASE OF SUBSTITUTE WARRANT.

        (a)  EXERCISE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT.  At the request of the holder of the
     Substitute Warrant (the "SUBSTITUTE WARRANT HOLDER"), the issuer of the
     Substitute Warrant (the "SUBSTITUTE WARRANT ISSUER") shall repurchase the
     Substitute Warrant from the Substitute Warrant Holder at a price (the
     "SUBSTITUTE WARRANT REPURCHASE PRICE") equal to (x) the amount by which (i)
     the Highest Closing Price (as hereinafter defined) exceeds (ii) the
     exercise price of the Substitute Warrant, multiplied by the number of
     shares of Substitute Common Stock for which the Substitute Warrant may then
     be exercised plus (y) Grantee's Out-of-Pocket Expenses (to the extent not
     previously reimbursed), and at the request of the owner (the "SUBSTITUTE
     SHARE OWNER") of shares of Substitute Common Stock (the "SUBSTITUTE
     SHARES"), the Substitute Warrant Issuer shall repurchase the Substitute
     Shares at a price (the "SUBSTITUTE SHARE REPURCHASE PRICE") equal to (x)
     the Highest Closing Price multiplied by the number of Substitute Shares so
     designated plus (y) Grantee's Out-of-Pocket Expenses (to the extent not
     previously reimbursed).  The term "HIGHEST CLOSING PRICE" shall mean the
     highest closing price for shares of Substitute Common Stock within the six-
     month period immediately preceding the date the Substitute Warrant Holder
     gives

                                       10
<PAGE>

     notice of the required repurchase of the Substitute Warrant or the
     Substitute Share Owner gives notice of the required repurchase of the
     Substitute Shares, as applicable.

        (b) EXERCISE OF REPURCHASE OF SUBSTITUTE WARRANT. The Substitute Warrant
     Holder and the Substitute Share Owner, as the case may be, may exercise its
     respective right to require the Substitute Warrant Issuer to repurchase the
     Substitute Warrant and the Substitute Shares pursuant to this Section 11 by
     surrendering for such purpose to the Substitute Warrant Issuer, at its
     principal office, the agreement for such Substitute Warrant (or, in the
     absence of such an agreement, a copy of this Agreement) and certificates
     for Substitute Shares accompanied by a written notice or notices stating
     that the Substitute Warrant Holder or the Substitute Share Owner, as the
     case may be, elects to require the Substitute Warrant Issuer to repurchase
     the Substitute Warrant and/or the Substitute Shares in accordance with the
     provisions of this Section 11. As promptly as practicable, and in any event
     within five business days after the surrender of the Substitute Warrant
     and/or certificates representing Substitute Shares and the receipt of such
     notice or notices relating thereto, the Substitute Warrant Issuer shall
     deliver or cause to be delivered to the Substitute Warrant Holder the
     Substitute Warrant Repurchase Price and/or to the Substitute Share Owner
     the Substitute Share Repurchase Price therefor or the portion thereof which
     the Substitute Warrant Issuer is not then prohibited under applicable law
     and regulation from so delivering.

        (c) PROHIBITION ON REPURCHASE OF SUBSTITUTE WARRANT. To the extent that
     the Substitute Warrant Issuer is prohibited under applicable law or
     regulation from repurchasing the Substitute Warrant and/or the Substitute
     Shares in part or in full, the Substitute Warrant Issuer shall immediately
     so notify the Substitute Warrant Holder and/or the Substitute Share Owner
     and thereafter deliver or cause to be delivered, from time to time, to the
     Substitute Warrant Holder and/or the Substitute Share Owner, as
     appropriate, the portion of the Substitute Share Repurchase Price,
     respectively, which it is no longer prohibited from delivering, within five
     business days after the date on which the Substitute Warrant Issuer is no
     longer so prohibited; provided, however, that if the Substitute Warrant
     Issuer is at any time after delivery of a notice of repurchase pursuant to
     Section 11(b) prohibited under applicable law or regulation from delivering
     to the Substitute Warrant Holder and/or the Substitute Share Owner, as
     appropriate, the Substitute Warrant Repurchase Price and the Substitute
     Share Repurchase Price, respectively, in full (and the Substitute Warrant
     Issuer shall use its best efforts to receive all required regulatory and
     legal approvals as promptly as practicable in order to accomplish such
     repurchase), the Substitute Warrant Holder or Substitute Share Owner may
     revoke its notice of repurchase of the Substitute Warrant or the Substitute
     Shares either in whole or to the extent of the prohibition, whereupon, in
     the latter case, the Substitute Warrant Issuer shall promptly (i) deliver
     to the Substitute Warrant Holder or Substitute Share Owner, as appropriate,
     that portion of the Substitute Warrant Repurchase Price or the Substitute
     Share Repurchase Price that the Substitute Warrant Issuer is not prohibited
     from delivering; and (ii) deliver, as appropriate, either (A) to the
     Substitute Warrant Holder, a new Substitute Warrant evidencing the right of
     the Substitute Warrant Holder to purchase that number of shares of the
     Substitute Common Stock obtained by multiplying the number of shares of the
     Substitute Common Stock for which the surrendered Substitute Warrant was
     exercisable at the time of delivery of the notice of repurchase by a
     fraction, the numerator of which is the Substitute Warrant Repurchase Price
     less the portion

                                       11
<PAGE>

     thereof theretofore delivered to the Substitute Warrant Holder and the
     denominator of which is the Substitute Warrant Repurchase Price, or (B) to
     the Substitute Share Owner, a certificate for the Substitute Warrant Shares
     it is then so prohibited from repurchasing.

     12. EXTENSION OF TIME. The 100-day period for exercise of certain rights
under Sections 3, 8, 9, and 15 shall be extended: (i) to the extent necessary to
obtain all regulatory approvals for the exercise of such rights, and for the
expiration of all statutory waiting periods; and (ii) to the extent necessary to
avoid liability under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act by reason of such exercise.

     13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ISSUER. Issuer hereby represents and
warrants to Grantee as follows:

        (a) Issuer has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver
     this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The
     execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
     transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by
     the Board of Directors of Issuer and no other corporate proceedings on the
     part of Issuer are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate
     the transactions so contemplated. This Agreement has been duly and validly
     executed and delivered by Issuer.

        (b) Issuer has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize and
     reserve and to permit it to issue, and at all times from the date hereof
     through the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms will
     have reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Warrant, that number of
     shares of Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Common
     Stock at any time and from time to time issuable hereunder, and all such
     shares, upon issuance pursuant hereto, will be duly authorized, validly
     issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and will be delivered free and clear of
     all claims, liens, encumbrance and security interests and not subject to
     any preemptive rights.

     14. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GRANTEE. Grantee hereby represents
and warrants to Issuer that:

        (a) Grantee has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter
     into this Agreement and, subject to any approvals or consents referred to
     herein, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution
     and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
     contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
     action on the part of Grantee. This Agreement has been duly executed and
     delivered by Grantee.

        (b)  The Warrant is not being, and any shares of Common Stock or other
     securities acquired by Grantee upon exercise of the Warrant will not be,
     acquired with a view to the public distribution thereof and will not be
     transferred or otherwise disposed of except in a transaction registered or
     exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

     15. NO ASSIGNMENT. Neither of the parties hereto may assign any of its
rights or obligations under this Warrant Agreement or the Warrant created
hereunder to any other person, without the express written consent of the other
party, except that in the event a Subsequent

                                       12
<PAGE>

Triggering Event shall have occurred prior to an Exercise Termination Event,
Grantee, subject to the express provisions hereof, may assign in whole or in
part its rights and obligations hereunder within 90 days following such
Subsequent Triggering Event (or such later period as provided in Section 12).

     16. REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS. Each of Grantee and Issuer will use its best
efforts to make all filings with, and to obtain consents of, all third parties
and governmental authorities necessary to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation making application
to list the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder on the Nasdaq National
Market upon official notice of issuance.

     17.  SURRENDER OF WARRANT.

        (a) Grantee may, at any time during which Issuer would be required to
     repurchase the Warrant or any Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 9,
     surrender the Warrant (together with any Warrant Shares issued to and then
     owned by Grantee) to Issuer in exchange for a cash fee equal to the
     Surrender Price (as defined below); provided, however, that Grantee may not
     exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 17 if Issuer has repurchased
     the Warrant (or any portion thereof) or any Warrant Shares pursuant to
     Section 9. The "SURRENDER PRICE" shall be equal to (i) One Million Dollars
     ($1 million), plus (ii) if applicable, the aggregate purchase price
     previously paid pursuant hereto by Grantee with respect to any Warrant
     Shares, minus (iii) if applicable, the sum of (A) the excess of (1) the net
     cash amounts, if any, received by Grantee pursuant to the arms' length sale
     of Warrant Shares (or any other securities into which such Warrant Shares
     were converted or exchanged) to any party not affiliated with Grantee, over
     (2) the aggregate purchase price previously paid pursuant hereto by Grantee
     with respect to such Warrant Shares and (B) the net cash amounts, if any,
     received by Grantee pursuant to an arms' length sale of a portion of the
     Warrant to any party not affiliated with Grantee.

        (b) Grantee may exercise its right to surrender the Warrant and any
     Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 17 by surrendering to Issuer, at
     its principal office, this Agreement together with certificates for Warrant
     Shares, if any, accompanied by a written notice stating (i) that Grantee
     elects to surrender the Warrant and Warrant Shares, if any, in accordance
     with the provisions of this Section 17 and (ii) the Surrender Price. The
     Surrender Price shall be payable in immediately available funds on or
     before the second business day following receipt of such notice by Issuer.

        (c) To the extent that Issuer is prohibited under applicable law or
     regulation from paying the Surrender Price to Grantee in full, Issuer shall
     immediately so notify Grantee and thereafter deliver or cause to be
     delivered, from time to time, to Grantee, the portion of the Surrender
     Price that Issuer is no longer prohibited from paying, within five business
     days after the date on which Issuer is no longer so prohibited, provided,
     however, that if Issuer at any time after delivery of a notice of surrender
     pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 17 is prohibited under applicable
     law or regulation from paying to Grantee the Surrender Price in full (i)
     Issuer shall (A) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all required
     regulatory and legal approvals and to file any required notices as promptly
     as practicable in order to make such payments, (B) within five days of the
     submission or receipt of any documents relating

                                       13
<PAGE>


     to any such regulatory and legal approvals, provide Grantee with copies of
     the same, and (C) keep Grantee advised of both the status of any such
     request for regulatory and legal approvals, as well as any discussions with
     any relevant regulatory or other third party reasonably related to the same
     and (ii) Grantee may revoke such notice of surrender by delivery of a
     notice of revocation to Issuer and, upon delivery of such notice of
     revocation, the Exercise Termination Date shall be extended to a date six
     months from the date on which the Exercise Termination Date would have
     occurred if not for the provisions of this Section 17(c) (during which
     period Grantee may exercise any of its rights hereunder, including any and
     all rights pursuant to this Section 17).

        (d) Grantee shall have rights substantially identical to those set forth
     in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 17 with respect to the
     Substitute Warrant and the Substitute Warrant Issuer during any period in
     which the Substitute Warrant Issuer would be required to repurchase the
     Substitute Warrant pursuant to Section 10.

     18. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties hereto acknowledge that damages would
be an inadequate remedy for a breach of this Agreement by either party hereto
and that the obligations of the parties hereto shall be enforceable by either
party hereto through injunctive or other equitable relief.

     19. SEVERABILITY. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained
in this Agreement is held by a court or a federal or state regulatory agency of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of
the terms, provisions and covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect, and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated. If for any reason such court or regulatory agency determines
that the Holder is not permitted to acquire, or Issuer is not permitted to
repurchase pursuant to Section 9, the full number of shares of Common Stock
provided in Section 2(a) hereof (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2(b) or 7
hereof), it is the express intention of Issuer to allow the Holder to acquire or
to require Issuer to repurchase such lesser number of shares as may be
permissible, without any amendment or modification hereof.

     20. NOTICES. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered
in person, by cable, telegram, telecopy or telex, or by registered or certified
mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) at the respective addresses of
the parties set forth in the Merger Agreement.

     21. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts regardless of the
laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of
laws thereof.

     22. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     23. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each
of the parties hereto shall bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it
or on its behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder,
including fees and expenses of its own

                                       14
<PAGE>

financial consultants, investment bankers, accountants and counsel.

     24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in
the Merger Agreement, this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder and supersedes
all prior arrangements or understandings with respect thereof, written or oral.
The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer
upon any party, other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors
except as assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by
reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

     25. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Merger Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Agreement to be
executed on its behalf by its officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the
date first above written.
