                                     WARRANT

Warrant No. W-______________      Date of Original Issuance: September ___, 2003

         SmartServ Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby
certifies that, for value received, ___________ or ________ registered assigns
(the "HOLDER"), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of
__________ shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "COMMON
STOCK"), of the Company (each such share, a "WARRANT SHARE" and all such shares,
the "WARRANT SHARES") at an exercise price equal to $0.25 per share (as adjusted
from time to time as provided in Section 9, the "EXERCISE PRICE"), at any time
and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including
September 19, 2006 (the "EXPIRATION DATE"), and subject to the following terms
and conditions.

     1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant,
capitalized  terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement,  dated as of September
19, 2003 between the Company,  the original  Holder and other  original  holders
named therein (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT").

     2. Registration of Warrant.  The Company shall register this Warrant,  upon
records  to be  maintained  by  the  Company  for  that  purpose  (the  "WARRANT
REGISTER"),  in the name of the  record  Holder  hereof  from time to time.  The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise  hereof or any  distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

     3.  Registration  of Transfers.  The Company shall register the transfer of
any portion of this  Warrant in the Warrant  Register,  upon  surrender  of this
Warrant,  with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed,
to the Company at its address  specified  herein.  Upon any such registration of
transfer,  an exchange  Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in  substantially  the
form of this Warrant (any such exchange  Warrant,  a "NEW

<PAGE>

WARRANT"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued
to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this
Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant. Warrants and Warrant Shares may only be disposed of in compliance
with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of
Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to
the Company or to an Affiliate of a Holder, the Company may require the
transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by
the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration under the Securities Act.

     4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants. This Warrant shall be exercisable by
the registered Holder, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on
or after the date hereof to and including 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date. The Exercise Price is payable in immediately available funds or
as otherwise provided in Section 13. At 5:30 p.m., New York City time on the
Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant available for exercise and not
exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

     5. Delivery of Warrant Shares and Exercise of Warrant. Upon delivery of the
Form of Election to Purchase, which Form shall specify the number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased, and this Warrant to the Company at its address for
notice set forth in Section 11 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder,
the Company shall, within three business days, issue and deliver to the Holder,
a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise with the
appropriate legend, if required. As used in this Agreement, a "DATE OF EXERCISE"
means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company (i) the
Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto, appropriately completed and duly
signed, (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so
indicated by the Holder to be purchased and (iii) this Warrant. If the Warrant
has not been fully exercised, the Company will deliver a replacement Warrant to
the Holder for the number of Warrant Shares remaining subject to the Warrant,
which replacement Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this
Warrant or, at the election of the Company, an appropriate notation shall be
made on this Warrant, which shall then be returned to the Holder.

     6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of New Warrants,
replacement Warrants issued upon a partial exercise, and certificates for shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to
the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or
other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates,
all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for
Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder
shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of
holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise
hereof.

                                       -2-

     7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation and
customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant
under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as
the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a
mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall also deliver such mutilated
Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company's obligation to
issue the New Warrant.

     8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it has and
will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as
herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and
deliverable upon the exercise of all Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable and free from all
preemptive rights of any stockholder of the Company and from all taxes, liens,
and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other than transfer taxes), and
if the Common Stock of the Company is then listed on any national securities
exchange (as defined in the Exchange Act) or eligible for trading on The Nasdaq
Stock Market or the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board, shall be duly listed or eligible
thereon, as the case may be.

     9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9.

          (a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs
during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the
calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect
such event.

          (b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidence
of its indebtedness, (ii) any



                                       -3-
<PAGE>

security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding
paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security,
or (iv) any other asset (in each case, "DISTRIBUTED PROPERTY"), then, at the
request of any Holder delivered before the 30th day after the record date fixed
for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the
Company will deliver to such Holder, within seven days after such request (or,
if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property
that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant
Shares for which such Holder's Warrant could have been exercised immediately
prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a
Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon any exercise of the Warrant
that occurs after such record date, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the
Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in
respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder
of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date.

          (c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3)
any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is
completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or
exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company
effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION"), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to
receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of any other consideration, the
same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as he would have been
entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if he
had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the
number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant
(the "ALTERNATE CONSIDERATION"). For purposes of any such exercise, the
determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to
such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company or its successor or the surviving entity following
such Fundamental Transaction shall apportion the Exercise Price among the
Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of
any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received
in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as
to the Alternate Consideration he receives upon any exercise of this Warrant
following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a New Warrant substantially in the form of
this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the
Holder's right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate
Exercise Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the
Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within seven days after such
request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction),
equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this
Warrant on the date of such request. The terms of any agreement pursuant to
which a Fundamental Transaction is effected

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply
with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and ensuring that the Warrant (or any
such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

          (d) Exercise Price Adjustment. (i) If the Company at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding shall issue, or be deemed to have issued, Additional
Shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) without consideration or for
consideration per share of Common Stock less than the then applicable Exercise
Price (the "Dilutive Price") (a "Triggering Issuance") in effect immediately
prior to such issuance, then forthwith upon the occurrence of any such event
(the "Dilutive Event") the Exercise Price shall be reduced so that the Exercise
Price in effect immediately following the Dilutive Event will equal the Dilutive
Price.

                          (ii) As used herein:

                            "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all
                           shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued
                           by the Company after the date hereof which represent
                           a Triggering Issuance. If the Company issues any
                           Options or Convertible Securities (as hereinafter
                           defined), the maximum number of shares of Common
                           Stock issuable thereunder, shall be deemed to be
                           Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the
                           time of such issue, if the consideration per share of
                           such Additional Shares of Common Stock (as
                           hereinafter determined) is less than the
                           then-applicable Exercise Price, until such time as
                           such Options or Convertible Securities shall
                           terminate or be exercised or converted into Common
                           Stock, upon which time the number of shares of Common
                           Stock actually thereupon issued shall be deemed to be
                           Additional Shares of Common Stock. The Company shall
                           be deemed to have issued the maximum number of shares
                           of Common Stock potentially underlying any Options or
                           Convertible Securities. Notwithstanding the
                           foregoing, no issuance or deemed issuance nor Common
                           Stock or options or warrants to purchase Common Stock
                           issued to (i) officers, directors or employees of or
                           consultants to the Company pursuant to any
                           compensation agreement, plan or arrangement or the
                           issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of any
                           such options or warrants, provided such securities
                           were issued prior to the date hereof or pursuant to a
                           stock option plan that was approved by the board of
                           directors and stockholders of the Company (ii) upon
                           conversion of existing convertible securities
                           outstanding as of the date hereof; (iii) upon
                           exercise of outstanding warrants existing as of the
                           date hereof or this warrant; and (iv) in connection
                           with a business acquisition where the stockholders of
                           the Company prior to such acquisition own 50% or more
                           of the Common Stock of the Company following such
                           acquisition, or to an institution or bank lender in
                           connection with a loan transaction or equipment
                           lease,

                           shall be deemed the issuance of Additional Shares of
                           Common Stock.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

                           "Options" shall mean rights, options or warrants to
                           subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either
                           Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

                           "Convertible Securities" shall mean any evidences of
                           indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock) or
                           other securities directly or indirectly convertible
                           into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

With respect to Options and Convertible Securities, "consideration" per share of
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be determined by adding (x) the
aggregate consideration received upon issuance of the Options or Convertible
Securities divided by the number of shares receivable upon the exercise or
conversion thereof and (y) the minimum possible consideration per share received
or to be received per share upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such
Options or Convertible Securities for shares of Common Stock.

          (e) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to
the Exercise Price pursuant this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that
may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the increased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same
as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

          (f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made
to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares
owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any
such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

          (g) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted
Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the
transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.

          (h) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend
or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of
its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing
the material terms and conditions of such transaction at least 20 days prior to
the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold
Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in
order to ensure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise
this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to
such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or
any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action
required to be described in such notice.

     10. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be
issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall issue the
next highest number of whole Warrant Shares.

     11. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section 11 prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a day on which banks in the State of Delaware are not required or
permitted to close (a "BUSINESS DAY"), (ii) the next Business Day after the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
the facsimile number specified in this Section 11 on a day that is not a
Business Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day,
(iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent for next day
delivery by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual
receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses
for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, SmartServ Online, Inc.,
One Station Place, Stamford, CT 06902, Facsimile No.: (203) 353-5984, Attn:
Chief Financial Officer, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile
number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile
number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section
11.

     12. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 20 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.

     13. Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if this Warrant will expire within five days or if, one year from the
date hereof, there is not then and has not theretofore been a currently
effective Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares, this
Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part by presentation and surrender of
this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written
notice of the holder's intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a
calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE"). In the
event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the
holder shall surrender this Warrant (or portion thereof) for that number of
shares of


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it
would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
difference between the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the
trading day immediately prior to the date of exercise and the Exercise Price,
and the denominator of which shall be such closing price per share of Common
Stock.

14.  Miscellaneous.

     (a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the
preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any
Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and
assigns.

     (b) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to
the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) (each, a "PROCEEDING") shall be exclusively commenced in
the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York in New York County
(the "COURTS"). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Courts for any Proceeding, and hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or such Courts are improper or
inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and
all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding. If any party shall commence an
action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then the
prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for
its attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with such Proceeding.

     (c) The Company shall not by any action avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and the taking
of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of
the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company will (i) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (b)
use its best efforts


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions, or consents from any public or
regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

     (d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part
of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
