     This Warrant, the securities issuable upon exercise hereof, and any
interest therein, unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and any applicable state laws, may not be sold, distributed,
assigned, offered, pledged or otherwise transferred without (i) an opinion of
counsel for the holder that such registration is not required or (ii) receipt
of a no-action letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the
effect that registration under the Act is not required. The Company
acknowledges its obligations to register such securities pursuant to the
Settlement and Release Agreement between the Company and Cloudbreak
Consulting, LLC, dated September 14, 1999.

1.   TERM.  If not earlier exercised, the Warrant shall expire at the end of
the day on the Expiration Date set forth above (the "Expiration Time").

2.   EXERCISE

     2.1.   EXERCISABILITY.  The Warrant is exercisable from the date of
issuance up to the Expiration Time.

     2.2.   MECHANICS OF EXERCISE.  The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant are exercisable in whole in part, prior to the Expiration Time by the
surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise form attached hereto
duly executed to the headquarters office of the Company at the address set
forth on the signature page hereof (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address
of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company), and upon payment of
the Exercise Price for the shares thereby purchased (by cash or by check or
bank draft payable to the order of the Company or by cancellation of
indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, if any, at the time of exercise in
an amount equal to the purchase price of the shares thereby purchased);
whereupon the Holder shall be

<PAGE>

entitled to receive from the Company a stock certificate in proper form
representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock so purchased, and a new
Warrant in substantially identical form and dated as of such exercise for the
purchase of that number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the difference,
if any, between the number of shares of Warrant Stock subject hereto and the
number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant is so exercised.

     2.3.   NET EXERCISE.  The Holder shall have the right to exercise this
Warrant, in whole or in part, at or prior to the Expiration Time by the
surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Net Exercise form attached
hereto duly executed to the headquarters office of the Company at the address
set forth on the signature page hereof (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address
of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company), into shares of Warrant
Stock as provided in this Section 2.3 (the "Net Exercise Right"). Upon
exercise of this right, the Holder shall be entitled to receive that number
of shares of the Company's Common Stock computed by using the following
formula:

                                   X(A-B)
                              Y =  ------
                                     A

          Y =  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

          A =  the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of the
               Company's Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant.

          B =  the Exercise Price for one share of the Company's Common Stock
               under this Warrant.

          X =  the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
               Warrant.

     If the above calculation results in a negative number, then no shares of
Warrant Stock shall be issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

     "Fair Market Value" of a share of Warrant Stock shall mean the closing
price (last reported sale price) of the Warrant Stock on the date of
exercise, provided the Warrant Stock is traded on Nasdaq, or if not so
traded, then the fair value as determined in good faith by the Company's
Board of Directors.

     Upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 2.3, the
Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of
shares of Warrant Stock determined in accordance with the foregoing, and a new
Warrant in substantially identical form and dated as of such exercise for
the purchase of that number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the
difference, if any, between the number of shares of Warrant Stock subject
hereto and the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant is
so exercised.

3.   ISSUANCE OF SHARES; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.  Certificates for
shares purchased hereunder or issuable upon exercise hereof shall be
delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the date on which
this Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms hereof.
The Company hereby represents and warrants that all shares of Warrant Stock
which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon such exercise
be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof
(other than liens or charges created by

                                       2

<PAGE>

or imposed upon the Holder of the Warrant Stock). The Company agrees that the
shares so issued shall be and shall for all purposes be deemed to have been
issued to such holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of
business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised in
accordance with the terms hereof. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With
respect to any fraction of a share called for upon the exercise of this
Warant, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value
of a share of Warrant Stock on the date of exercise shall be paid in cash or
check to the Holder.

4.   CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES.  Issuance of certificates for shares of
Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge
to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in
respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be borne by the Holder, and such certificates shall be issued in the
name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder
provided, however, that in the event certificates for shares of Warrant Stock
are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant
when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder.

5.   NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDERS.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to
the exercise hereof.

6.   EXCHANGE AND REGISTRY OF WARRANT.  This Warrant is exchangeable, upon
the surrender hereof by the Holder at the above-mentioned office or agency of
the Company, for a new Warrant in substantially identical form and dated as
of such exchange. The Company shall maintain at the above-mentioned office or
agency a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of
this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange, transfer, or
exercise in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of the
Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to
written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

7.   LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT.  On receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
theft, destruction or multilation of this Warrant, and in case of any such
loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity
agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in
the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof,
a new Warrant in substantially identical form, dated as of such
cancellation and reissuance.

8.   SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS.  If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such
action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
business day.

9.   ADJUSTMENT TO NUMBER AND TYPE OF SECURITIES, EXERCISE PRICE.  The type
and number of securities of the Company issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as set forth below:

     (a)     ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLITS, STOCK DIVIDENDS, RECAPITALIZATIONS,
AUTOMATIC CONVERSION, ETC.  The Exercise Price and the number and type of
securities or other property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
appropriately and proportionately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend,
stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization,
automatic conversion, redemption or other similar event affecting the number
or character of outstanding shares of Warrant Stock, so that the number and
type

                                       3

<PAGE>

of securities or other property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be equal to that which would have been issuable with respect to the number of
shares of Warrant Stock subject hereto at the time of such event, had such
shares of Warrant Stock then been outstanding.

     (b)     CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.  In case of any adjustment in the
Exercise Price or number and type of securities issuable on the exercise of
this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the
Holder in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by an officer of
the Company, setting forth such adjustment and showing in reasonable detail
the facts upon which adjustment is based.

10.   NOTICES OF RECORD DATE, ETC.  In the event of:

     (a)     any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of Warrant
Stock for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to
receive any dividend or other distribution,

     (b)     any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of
all or substantially all the assets of the Company to, or consolidation or
merger of, the Company with or into any person,

     (c)     any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company, or

     (d)     a sale of substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of
the Company or the issuance of new shares representing the majority of the
Company's right to vote, or

then and in such event the Company will mail to the Holder a notice
specifying the record date for voting or the date of closing, as applicable,
of any event (a)-(d) above. Such notice shall be delivered to the Holder at
least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the relevant event.

11.  GOVERNING LAW

     This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed
by a duly authorized officer.
