	Certificate No  
                  ------------------                           ---------

	
	For value received, The AppleTree Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the 
"Company"), hereby grants to           Company or its registered assigns (the 
"Registered Holder") the right to purchase from the Company            shares 
of the Company's Common Stock, par value $     per share (the Common Stock"), 
at a price per share of $.0125 (as adjusted and in effect from time-to-time 
pursuant to Section 2 below, the "Exercise Price").  Certain capitalized terms 
used herein are defined in Section 5 hereof.  The amount and kind of 
securities purchasable pursuant to the rights granted hereunder and the 
purchase price for such securities are subject to adjustment pursuant to the 
provisions contained in this Warrant.

	
	This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:
	
	Section 1.
	Exercise of Warrant.

		
	1A.
	Exercise Period.  The Registered Holder may exercise, in whole or in part (but 
not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), the purchase rights represented 
by this Warrant at any time and from time-to-time after the Date of Issuance 
to and including September 25, 2001 (the "Exercise Period").

		
	1B.
	Exercise Procedure.  
		
		
		
	
	(i)  
	This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when the Company has 
received all of the following items (the "Exercise Time"):
	
		
		
	(a)
	a completed Exercise Agreement, as described in 
	paragraph 1C below, executed by the Registered Holder;

		
		
	(b)
	this Warrant;

		
		
	(c)
	either (x) a check payable to the Company in an 
	amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of 
shares of 	Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise (the "Aggregate 
Exercise Price") or
    	(y)  the surrender to the Company of securities of the Company having a 
Market Price 	equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price of the Common Stock being 
purchased upon such 	exercise.

		
	
	(ii)
	Certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this 
Warrant shall be delivered by the Company to the Registered Holder within 
fifteen business days after the date of the Exercise Time.  Unless this 
Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been 
exercised, the Company shall prepare a new Warrant, substantially identical 
hereto, representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant which 
have not expired or been exercised and shall, within such fifteen-day period, 
deliver such new Warrant to the Registered Holder.

		
	
	(iii)
	The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to 
have been issued to the Registered Holder at the Exercise Time, and the 
Registered Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the record 
holder of such Common Stock at the Exercise Time.

		
	
	(iv)
	The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of 
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder for any 
issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in 
connection with such exercise and the related issuance of shares of Common 
Stock.  Each share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant 
shall, upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and 
nonassessable and free from all liens and charges with respect to the issuance 
thereof.

		
	
	(v)
	The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this Warrant or 
of any share of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this 
Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this 
Warrant.  The Company shall from time-to-time take all such action as may be 
necessary to assure that the par value per share of the unissued Common Stock 
acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant is at all times equal to or less than 
the Exercise Price then in effect.

		
	
	(vi)
	The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its 
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of 
issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common 
Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall take all 
such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common 
Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental 
regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which 
shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance 
which shall be promptly delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).
		
		
	1C.
	Exercise Agreement.
	Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Exercise Agreement shall be 
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto.  Such 
Exercise Agreement shall be dated the actual date of execution thereof.

		
	1D.
	Fractional Shares.
	If a fractional share of Common Stock would, but for the provisions of 
paragraph 1A, be issuable upon exercise of the rights represented by this 
Warrant, the Company shall, within five business days after the date of the 
Exercise Time, deliver to the Registered Holder a check payable to the 
Registered Holder in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to the 
difference between the Market Price of such fractional share as of the date of 
the Exercise Time and the Exercise Price of such fractional share.

	Section 2.
	Adjustment to Number of Shares.
	The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant 
and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

		
	2A.
	In case the Company shall (I) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make 
a distribution in shares of  Common Stock; (ii) subdivide its outstanding 
shares of Common Stock; (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock 
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or (iv) issue by 
reclassification of its shares of stock other securities of the Company, the 
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant 
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant 
shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or 
other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been 
entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, 
had this Warrant been converted immediately prior to the happening of  such 
event or any record date with respect thereto.  An adjustment made pursuant to 
this  paragraph 2A shall become effective immediately after the effective date 
of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

		
	2B.
	In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of 
its outstanding shares of Common Stock, without any charge to such holders, 
entitling them (for a period expiring within forty five (45) days after the 
record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common 
Stock at a price per share which is lower at the record date mentioned below 
than the then current Market Price per share of Common Stock, the number of 
shares of Common Stock thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this 
Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common 
Stock theretofore purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by a fraction, of 
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding 
on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of 
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of 
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock 
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus 
the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the 
total number of shares of Common Stock so offered would purchase at the then 
current Market Price per share of Common Stock.  Such adjustments shall be 
made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become 
effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the 
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or 
warrants.

		
	2C.
	In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its shares of Common 
Stock evidence of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or 
distributions out of earnings and dividends or distributions referred to in 
paragraph 2A above) or rights, options or warrants or convertible securities 
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock 
(excluding those referred to in paragraph 2B above), then in each case the 
number of shares of Common Stock thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of 
this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common 
Stock theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant by a fraction, 
of which the numerator shall be the then current Market Price per share of 
Common Stock on the date of such distribution, and of  which the denominator 
shall be the then current Market Price per share of Common Stock, less the 
then fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose 
determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the evidence of 
indebtedness or assets so distributed or of such subscription rights, options 
or warrants or of such convertible securities applicable to one share of 
Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution  
is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to 
the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such 
distribution.

		
	2D.
	Upon each such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable 
upon exercise hereof, the Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be adjusted to 
the Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect 
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock 
acquirable upon exercise of  this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment 
and dividing the product thereof by the number of shares of Common Stock 
acquirable upon exercise of  this Warrant immediately after such adjustment.

	Section 3.
	Company Consolidation, Merger, Etc.
	In case of any consolidation of the company with or merger of the Company into 
another corporation or in case of any sale or conveyance to another 
corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as 
an entirety, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the 
case may be, shall execute an agreement that any holder of this Warrant shall 
have the right thereafter upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect 
immediately prior to such action to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant the 
kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which he would 
have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such 
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised 
immediately prior to such action.  The Company shall mail by first class mail, 
postage prepaid, to each holder of this Warrant, notice of the execution of 
any such agreement.  Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall 
be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for 
herein.  The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive 
consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

	Section 4.
	Certificate Evidencing Adjustments.
	Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the provisions 
hereof, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an 
Assistant Secretary at its principal office  an officer's certificate showing 
the adjusted Exercise Price determined as herein provided and setting forth in 
reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment.  Each such officer's 
certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by 
the holder of this Warrant and the Company shall forthwith, after each such 
adjustment, deliver a copy of such certificate to each holder of this Warrant.  
Such certificates shall be conclusive as to the correctness of such 
adjustments.

indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided that if the holder 
is a financial institution or other institutional investor its own agreement 
shall be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender 
of such certificate, the Company shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in 
lieu of  such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the same 
rights represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate 
and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.
