                                                                    ------------
                                    WARRANT


   to Purchase up to an Aggregate of _____ Convertible Preferred C-1 Shares
                          (Subject to Adjustment) of
                               RTS Software Ltd.
                             at NIS 0.1 per share


   THIS IS TO CERTIFY that _________________ (the "Holder") is entitled to
purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from RTS Software Ltd. (the
"Company"), at any time on or after the date hereof (the "Effective Date"), an
aggregate of up to ______ (subject to adjustment) fully and nonassessable
Convertible Preferred Shares, nominal value New Israeli Shekel ("NIS") 0.1 per
share (the "Convertible Preferred Shares"), of the Company at a price of NIS 0.1
per share (the "Exercise Price"). In the event that all of the outstanding
Convertible Preferred Shares are converted into Ordinary Shares, this Warrant
shall be exercisable solely for such Ordinary Shares and any references
throughout this Warrant to shares of Convertible Preferred Shares shall be
deemed to refer to the Ordinary Shares into which the Convertible Preferred
Shares may be converted. The amount and kind of securities purchasable pursuant
to the rights granted hereunder and the Exercise Price for such securities are
subject to adjustment pursuant to the further provisions of this Warrant.


   1.     EXERCISE OF WARRANT

          Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in
          whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after the
          Effective Date. This Warrant shall be exercised by presentation and
          surrender hereof to the Company at the principal office of the
          Company; accompanied by

          1.  a written notice of exercise and

          2.  payment to the Company, for the account of the Company, of the
              Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such notice.

          The Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in the notice
          shall be payable in immediately available good funds, at the option of
          the Holder, in NIS.

          Upon such presentation and surrender, the Company shall issue promptly
          to the Holder the Convertible Preferred Shares to which the Holder is
          entitled hereunder.

          If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall,
          upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a
          new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
          balance of the Convertible Preferred Shares purchasable hereunder.
          Upon receipt by the Company of this
<PAGE>

                                      -2-

          Warrant, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be
          the holder of record of the Convertible Preferred Shares issuable upon
          such exercise, notwithstanding that the share transfer books of the
          Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such
          Convertible Preferred Shares shall not then be actually delivered to
          the Holder. The Company shall pay any and all expenses, any stamp duty
          and any other charges that may be payable in connection with the
          issuance of the Convertible Preferred Shares and the preparation and
          delivery of share certificates pursuant to this Paragraph 1 in the
          name of the Holder.

          No fractions of Convertible Preferred Shares shall be issued in
          connection with the exercise of this Warrant, and the number of
          Convertible Preferred Shares issued shall be rounded down to the
          nearest whole number.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of (i) the initial public
          offering of the Company (the "IPO"), (ii) on or after the merger of
          the Company with or into another company or entity, in which the
          Company is not the surviving entity (a "Merger") or (iii) on or after
          the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a
          "Sale") then, in lieu of exercising this Warrant as provided above, in
          whole or in part, the Holder may elect to receive simultaneously with
          the Closing of the IPO, or simultaneously with the closing of the
          Merger or Sale, by the surrender and cancellation of this Warrant or
          any such portion thereof to the Company, Convertible Preferred Shares
          equal to the value of the Warrant (or the portion thereof being
          canceled) by written notice of such election to the Company, at the
          principal office of the Company, in which event the Company shall
          issue to the Holder, for no additional consideration, that number of
          Convertible Preferred Shares computed using the following formula:

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

          X   equals the number of Convertible Preferred Shares to be issued to
              the Holder;

          Y   equals the number of Convertible Preferred Shares which would
              otherwise have been purchasable under this Warrant (or the portion
              thereof being canceled);

          B   equals the Exercise Price in effect at the time of exercise
              pursuant to this formula (as may have been or be adjusted pursuant
              to the terms of this Warrant); and

          A   shall equal the "Fair Value" of one share of the Company's
              Convertible Preferred Shares. Fair Value shall mean in the event
              that this Warrant is exercised in accordance with the above
              formula (i) if in connection with an IPO, then the Fair Value
              shall equal the price (as sold to the public) of that number of
              the Company's Ordinary Shares into which one share of the
              Company's Preferred Shares is Convertible, or (ii) if in
              connection with a Merger or Sale, the value of such share(s) as
              determined for the
<PAGE>

                                      -3-

              purposes of the Merger or Sale, or (iii) if other than in
              connection with an IPO or a Merger or Sale and if a public market
              exists for the securities then subject to this Warrant and such
              securities are listed on a U.S. nationally recognized stock
              exchange or on the Nasdaq stock market, then the Fair Value shall
              equal the last sale or trading price of such securities as
              reported on such exchange or market, as applicable; provided,
              however, if no public market exists for the securities then the
              Fair Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
              Directors of the Company, but if such determination is challenged
              in good faith by the Holder, then as determined by an independent
              appraiser mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Holder,
              which determination shall be binding upon the parties.

   2.   RESERVATION OF SHARES: PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS

        The Company hereby agrees that at all times it will maintain and reserve
        such number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares so that this
        Warrant may be exercised without additional authorization of Convertible
        Preferred Shares after giving effect to all other options, warrants,
        convertible securities and other rights to acquire Convertible Preferred
        Shares of the Company. In addition, the Company will maintain and
        reserve such number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares as will
        be sufficient to permit the conversion in full of all issued or issuable
        Convertible Preferred Shares. All shares of Convertible Preferred Shares
        (and Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof) issuable pursuant
        to the terms hereof, when issued upon exercise of this Warrant in
        accordance with the terms hereof shall be duly and validly issued and
        fully paid and nonassessable, not subject to preemptive rights and shall
        be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities and claims. The
        Company further agrees 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 the Company.

   3.   EXCHANGE OR LOSS OF WARRANT

        This Warrant is exchangeable, upon presentation and surrender hereof at
        the principal office of the Company, only in connection with a partial
        exercise hereof. The Company shall be under no obligation to issue
        replacement warrants for the aggregate number of shares covered hereby
        except as described herein. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes
        any Warrant or Warrants for which this Warrant may be exchanged. Upon
        receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
        loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case
        of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory
        indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
        mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like
        terms, tenor and date.

   4.   ADJUSTMENT
<PAGE>

                                      -4-

        The number of Convertible Preferred Shares (and the number of Ordinary
        Shares issuable upon conversion thereof) purchasable upon the exercise
        of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
        from time to time or upon exercise as provided in this paragraph 4.

        4.2.  If, during the term of this Warrant, the Company shall distribute
              a stock dividend or shares of capital stock pursuant to a
              reclassification of its Convertible Preferred Shares to the
              holders of Convertible Preferred Shares (i.e., bonus shares), the
              number of Convertible Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise
              of this Warrant shall be increased by multiplying such number of
              shares to be purchased under this Warrant by a fraction of which
              the denominator shall be the number of Convertible Preferred
              Shares outstanding at the close of business on the day immediately
              preceding the date of such distribution and the numerator shall be
              the sum of such number of shares and the total number of bonus
              shares, such increase to become effective immediately after the
              opening of business on the date following such distribution, and
              upon the happening of such an event the Exercise Price shall be
              adjusted appropriately.

        4.2.  If, during the term of this Warrant, the outstanding Convertible
              Preferred Shares shall be subdivided into a greater number of
              Convertible Preferred Shares, the number of Convertible Preferred
              Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of
              business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision
              becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and,
              conversely, if the outstanding Convertible Preferred Shares shall
              each be combined into a smaller number of Convertible Preferred
              Shares, the number of Convertible Preferred Shares purchasable
              upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the
              day following the day upon which such combination becomes
              effective shall be proportionately decreased, and in each such
              case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately.

        4.3.  Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
              -----------------------------------------------------------
              Disposition of Assets
              ---------------------

              (a)   In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify
                    its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
                    corporation or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or
                    substantially all of its property, assets or business to
                    another corporation and pursuant to the terms of such
                    reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
                    disposition of assets, (i) shares of capital stock of the
                    successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company (if it
                    is the surviving corporation) or (ii) any cash, shares of
                    stock or other securities or property of any nature
                    whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or
                    purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of capital stock
                    of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other Property")
                    are to be received by or distributed to the holders of
                    Convertible Preferred Shares of the Company who are holders
                    immediately prior to such transaction,
<PAGE>

                                      -5-

                    then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive,
                    upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of
                    capital stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or
                    of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and
                    Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such
                    reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
                    disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of
                    Convertible Preferred Shares for which this Warrant is
                    exercisable immediately prior to such event.

              (b)   In case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
                    merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the
                    successor or acquiring corporation shall expressly assume
                    the due and punctual observance and performance of each and
                    every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed
                    and observed by the Company and all the obligations and
                    liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
                    be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the
                    Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for
                    adjustments of shares of the Convertible Preferred Shares
                    for which this Warrant is exercisable, which modifications
                    shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
                    adjustments provided for in this Section 4.

              (c)   The provisions of this subsection 4.3 shall similarly apply
                    to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers,
                    consolidations or disposition of assets.

        4.4.  Other Dilutive Events
              ---------------------

              In case any event shall occur as to which the preceding
              subsections 4.1 through 4.3 are not strictly applicable but as to
              which the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect
              the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with
              the essential intent and principles hereof then, in each such
              case, the Board of Directors of the Company shall, in good faith,
              determine what adjustments are necessary to preserve the purchase
              rights of the Holder represented by this Warrant. The Company will
              notify the Holder of any such adjustments.

    5.  NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS

        The holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to the same rights to
        receive notices of corporate actions as any holder of Convertible
        Preferred Shares as provided in the Company's Articles of Association or
        otherwise. Notwithstanding, in case at any time:

        5.1.  There shall be any merger of the Company with, or any statutory
              exchange of the Company's securities with the securities of, or
              sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another
              corporation; or

        5.2.  There shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
              or winding up of the Company;
<PAGE>

                                      -6-

        then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written
        notice, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at
        the address of the Holder as shown on the books of the Company, of the
        date on which such merger, exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
        winding up shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also
        specify the date as of which the holders of Convertible Preferred Shares
        of record shall be entitled to exchange their Convertible Preferred
        Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such merger,
        exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may
        be. Such written notice shall be given at least twenty (20) days prior
        to the action in question.

    6.  NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS

        Whenever the number of Convertible Preferred Shares for which this
        Warrant is exercisable is adjusted as provided in paragraph 4 hereof or
        whenever the rate at which the Convertible Preferred Shares are
        convertible into Ordinary Shares is adjusted pursuant to the Company's
        Articles of Association, the Company shall promptly compute such
        adjustment and mail to the Holder at the last address provided to the
        Company in writing a certificate, signed by the principal financial
        office of the Company, setting forth the number of Convertible Preferred
        Shares (and the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Convertible
        Preferred Shares may be converted) for which this Warrant is exercisable
        and the exercise price as a result of such adjustment, a brief statement
        of the facts requiring such adjustment and the detailed computation
        thereof and when such adjustment has or will become effective.

              threatened violations of the obligations of any person subject to
              this Warrant.
