                                     WARRANT

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR IN A TRANSACTION WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO WORKSCAPE, INC., QUALIFIES AS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION
UNDER THE ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER.

                                 WORKSCAPE, INC.

                          Common Stock Purchase Warrant

         WORKSCAPE, INC., a Massachusetts corporation (the "Company"), hereby
certifies that, for value received, Warburg, Pincus Netherlands Equity Partners
I, C.V. (the "Holder"), or assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company, at any time and from time to time during
the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on July 15, 2009 in whole or
in part, an aggregate of 437,500 fully paid and non-assessable shares (the
"Aggregate Number") of the Class A Common Stock of the Company at a purchase
price, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3 hereof, of $1.20 per share (the
"Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price and the number and character of such
shares are subject to adjustment as provided below, and the term "Common Stock"
shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the Class A Common Stock or
other securities or property at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. This Warrant is herein called the "Warrant."

         1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant
shall be exercised by the holder surrendering this Warrant, with the form of
subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such holder, to the Company at
its office in Natick, Massachusetts, accompanied by payment, of an amount (the
"Exercise Payment") equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of
shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise, payable as follows: (a) by
payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check, or by wire
transfer of the Exercise Amount, (b) by surrender to the Company for
cancellation of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series
C Preferred Stock"), of the Company or, in the event there are no such shares of
Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, any other securities of the Company, in
each case having a Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of


<PAGE>

exercise equal to the Exercise Amount; or (c) by a combination of the methods
described in clauses (a) and (b) above. In lieu of exercising the Warrant, the
holder may elect to receive a payment equal to the difference between (i) the
Market Price multiplied by the number of shares as to which the payment is then
being elected and (ii) the Exercise Payment with respect to such shares, payable
by the Company to the Holder only in shares of Common Stock valued at the Market
Price on the date of exercise. For purposes hereof, the term "Market Price" with
respect to the Series C Preferred Stock shall mean $1.20 per share plus accrued
but unpaid dividends and, with respect to Common Stock or other securities of
the Company, shall mean the average closing price of a share of Common Stock for
the 15 consecutive trading days preceding such day on the principal national
securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or other securities are
listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange, the average of the reported bid and asked prices
during such 15 trading day period in the over-the-counter market as furnished by
the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or, if such firm is not then engaged in the
business of reporting such prices, as furnished by any member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected by the Company or, if the
shares of Common Stock or other securities are not publicly traded, the Market
Price for such day shall be the fair market value thereof determined jointly by
the Company and the holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that if such
parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, the
Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the independent investment
banking firm selected jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant or,
if that selection cannot be made within 15 days, by an independent investment
banking firm selected by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with
its rules.

         1.1 Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised for less than the
full number of shares of Common Stock, in which case the number of shares
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, and the sum payable
upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, shall be proportionately reduced.
Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense will forthwith issue
to the holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor calling for the
number of shares of Common Stock as to which rights have not been exercised,
such Warrant or Warrants to be issued in the name of the holder hereof or his
nominee (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes).

         1.2 Reduction in the Aggregate Number. In the event the Company
exercises its option to redeem all, but not a part of, the Series C Preferred
Stock pursuant to the terms of Article III, Section 8 of the Company's Articles
of Organization on or before July 15, 2000 the Aggregate Number shall be reduced
by 189,000 (subject to the adjustments as provided below).


                                      -2-
<PAGE>

         2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Purchase Price, and in any
event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause
to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof a certificate or
certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares or other
securities or property to which such holder shall be entitled upon such
exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined in accordance with Paragraph
3.9 hereof. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to
be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered
and payment made for such shares as aforesaid.

         3. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. In order to prevent
dilution of the right granted hereunder, the Purchase Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Paragraph 3. Upon each
adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Paragraph 3, the registered
Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to acquire upon exercise, at
the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock obtainable by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock acquirable immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment.

         3.1 Adjustment for Issue or Sale of Common Stock at Less than Purchase
Price. Except as provided in Paragraph 3.2 or 3.5 below, if and whenever on or
after the date of issuance hereof the Company shall issue or sell, or shall in
accordance with subparagraphs 3.1(1) to (9), inclusive, be deemed to have issued
or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than
the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or
sale, then forthwith upon such issue or sale (the "Triggering Transaction"), the
Purchase Price shall, subject to subparagraphs (1) to (9) of this Paragraph 3.1,
be reduced to the Purchase Price (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent)
determined by dividing:

            (i) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product derived by
      multiplying the Number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately
      prior to such Triggering Transaction by the Purchase Price then in effect,
      plus (y) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon
      consummation of such Triggering Transaction, by

            (ii) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Number of Common Shares
      Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering Transaction plus
      (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued in
      accordance


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

      with subparagraphs 3.1(1) to (9)) in connection with the Triggering
      Transaction.

         For purposes of this Paragraph 3, the term "Number of Common Shares
Deemed Outstanding" at any given time shall mean the sum of (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable assuming conversion at such time of the Convertible
Preferred Stock (as defined in the Company's Articles of Organization) and (iii)
the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock deemed to be outstanding
under subparagraphs 3.1(1) to (9), inclusive, at such time.

         For purposes of determining the adjusted Purchase Price under this
Paragraph 3.1, the following subsections (1) to (9), inclusive, shall be
applicable:

                  (1) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner grant
         (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights
         to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of,
         Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or
         exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein
         called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or
         securities being herein called "Convertible Securities"), whether or
         not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such
         Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable and the price per
         share for which the Common Stock is issuable upon exercise, conversion
         or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any,
         received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting
         of such options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
         consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such
         options, plus, in the case of such options which relate to Convertible
         Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration,
         if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities
         and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum
         number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
         Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities)
         shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
         the time of the granting of such Option, then the total maximum amount
         of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or, in the
         case of Options for Convertible Securities, upon the conversion or
         exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall (as of the date of
         granting of such options) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
         issued and sold by the company for such price per share. No adjustment
         of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such
         shares of Common Stock or such Convertible


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

         Securities upon the exercise of such Options, except as otherwise
         provided in subparagraph (3) below.

                  (2) In case the Company at any time shall in any manner issue
         (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell
         any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or
         convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share
         for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange
         (determined by dividing (x) the total amount received or receivable by
         the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible
         Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
         consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or
         exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common
         Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
         Securities) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately
         prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number
         of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all
         such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale
         of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and to have
         been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No
         adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of
         such Common Stock upon exercise of the rights to exchange or convert
         under such Convertible Securities, except as otherwise provided in
         subparagraph (3) below.

                  (3) If the purchase price provided for in any options referred
         to in subparagraph (1), the additional consideration, if any, payable
         upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred
         to in subparagraphs (1) or (2), or the rate at which any Convertible
         Securities referred to in subparagraph (1) or (2) are convertible into
         or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than
         under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution
         of the type set forth in Paragraph 3.1 or 3.3), the Purchase Price in
         effect at the time of such change shall forthwith be readjusted to the
         Purchase Price which would have been in effect at such time had such
         Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such
         changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as
         the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. If the
         purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subparagraph
         (1) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in
         subparagraphs (1) or (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for
         Common Stock, shall be reduced at any time under or by reason of
         provisions with respect thereto designed to


                                      -5-
<PAGE>

         protect against dilution, then in case of the delivery of Common Stock
         upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of
         any such Convertible Security, the Purchase Price then in effect
         hereunder shall forthwith be adjusted to such respective amount as
         would have been obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never
         been issued as to such Common Stock and had adjustments been made upon
         the issuance of the shares of Common Stock delivered as aforesaid, but
         only if as a result of such adjustment the Purchase Price then in
         effect hereunder is hereby reduced.

                  (4) On the expiration of any Option or the termination of any
         right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities, the Purchase
         Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the
         Purchase Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
         expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to
         the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or
         termination, never been issued.

                  (5) In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the
         issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising
         one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is
         allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such options shall be
         deemed to have been issued without consideration.

                  (6) In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
         Securities shall be issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or
         sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to
         be the amount received by the Company therefor. In case any shares of
         Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold
         for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration
         other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such
         consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
         the Company. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
         Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the
         Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration
         therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the
         net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as shall be
         attributed by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith to
         such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may
         be.


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                  (7) 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 shares so owned or held
         shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of
         this Paragraph 3.1.

                  (8) In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any
         other distribution upon the stock of the Company payable in Options or
         Convertible Securities, then in such case any Options or Convertible
         Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or
         distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without
         consideration.

                  (9) For purposes of this Paragraph 3.1, in case the Company
         shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
         of entitling them (x) to receive a dividend or other distribution
         payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities, or (y)
         to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
         Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the
         issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
         or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such
         other distribution or the date of the granting of such right or
         subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

         3.2 Dividends Not Paid Out of Earnings or Earned Surplus. In the event
the Company shall declare a dividend upon the Common Stock (other than a
dividend payable in Common Stock) payable otherwise than out of earnings or
earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for minority
interests, if any, in subsidiaries (herein referred to as "Liquidating
Dividends"), then, as soon as possible after the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay to the person exercising such Warrant an amount equal to the
aggregate value at the time of such exercise of all Liquidating Dividends
(including but not limited to the Common Stock which would have been issued at
the time of such earlier exercise and all other securities which would have been
issued with respect to such Common Stock by reason of stock splits, stock
dividends, mergers or reorganizations, or for any other reason). For the
purposes of this Paragraph 3.2, a dividend other than in cash shall be
considered payable out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that
such earnings or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of
such dividend as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.

         3.3 Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Corporation shall at any
time (i) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (ii) issue a stock dividend
on its outstanding


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Common Stock, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
or dividend shall be proportionately reduced by the same ratio as the
subdivision or dividend. In case the Corporation shall at any time combine its
outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased by the same ratio as the
combination.

         3.4 Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of
Assets. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock
of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other property with respect to
or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision
shall be made whereby the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to acquire
and receive upon exercise of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities, cash
or other property issuable or payable (as part of the reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale) with respect to or in exchange
for such number of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock as would
have been received upon exercise of this Warrant at the Purchase Price then in
effect. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale,
unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other
than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation
purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument mailed or delivered to
the holder of this Warrant at the last address of such holder appearing on the
books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of
stock, securities, cash or other property as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase. If a purchase, tender or
exchange offer is made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company shall not effect
any consolidation, merger or sale with the person having made such offer or with
any Affiliate of such person, unless prior to the consummation of such
consolidation, merger or sale the holder of this Warrant shall have been given a
reasonable opportunity to then elect to receive upon the exercise of this
Warrant either the stock, securities, cash or other property then issuable with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company or the stock, securities, cash or
other property, or the equivalent, issued to previous holders of the Common
Stock in accordance with such offer. For purposes hereof the term "Affiliate"
with respect to any given person shall mean any person controlling, controlled
by or under common control with the given person.

         3.5 No Adjustment for Exercise of Certain Options, Warrants, Etc. The
provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

to any Common Stock issued, issuable or deemed outstanding under subparagraphs
3.1(1) to (9) inclusive: (i) to any person pursuant to any stock option, stock
purchase or similar plan or arrangement for the benefit of employees,
consultants or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries in effect on the
date of issuance hereof or thereafter adopted by the Board of Directors, or (ii)
pursuant to Options, Warrants and conversion rights in existence on the date of
issuance hereof or (iii) upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock or
(iv) the sale of any additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

         3.6 Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event that:

                  (1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its
         Common Stock, or

                  (2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common
         Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other
         distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, or

                  (3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
         holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class
         or other rights, or

                  (4) there shall be any capital reorganization or
         reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, including any
         subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
         or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or
         substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, or

                  (5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
         liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then, in connection with such event, the Company shall give to the holder of
this Warrant:

            (i) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on
      which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for
      such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining
      rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification,
      consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; and

            (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
      consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at
      least twenty (20) days, prior written notice of the date when the same
      shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (i)
      shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or
      subscription rights, the date on which the


                                      -9-
<PAGE>

      holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in
      accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on
      which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their
      Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
      reorganization, reclassification consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
      liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Each such written notice
      shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the
      holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books
      of the Company.

         3.7 Grant, Issue or Sale of Options, Convertible Securities, or Rights.
If at any time or from time to time on or after the date of issuance hereof, the
Company shall grant, issue or sell any Options, Convertible Securities or rights
to purchase property (the "Purchase Rights") pro rata to the record holders of
any class of Common Stock of the Company and such grants, issuances or sales do
not result in an adjustment of the Purchase Price under Paragraph 3.1 hereof,
then the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to acquire (within thirty (30)
days after the later to occur of the initial exercise date of such Purchase
Rights or receipt by such holder of the notice concerning Purchase Rights to
which such holder shall be entitled under Paragraph 3.6) and upon the terms
applicable to such Purchase Rights either:

            (i) the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have
      acquired if it had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
      upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the grant, issuance or
      sale of such Purchase Rights; provided that if any Purchase Rights were
      distributed to holders of Common Stock without the payment of additional
      consideration by such holders, corresponding Purchase Rights shall be
      distributed to the exercising holder of this Warrant as soon as possible
      after such exercise and it shall not be necessary for the exercising
      holder of this Warrant specifically to request delivery of such rights; or

            (ii) in the event that any such Purchase Rights shall have expired
      or shall expire prior to the end of said thirty (30) day period, the
      number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of property which such
      holder could have acquired upon such exercise at the time or times at
      which the Company granted, issued or sold such expired Purchase Rights.

         3.8 Adjustment by Board of Directors. If any event occurs as to which,
in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions of this
Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly
protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant in accordance with the
essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the


                                      -10-
<PAGE>

Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such
provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to
protect such rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any adjustment have the
effect of increasing the Purchase Price as otherwise determined pursuant to any
of the provisions of this Section 3 except in the case of a combination of
shares of a type contemplated in Paragraph 3.3 and then in no event to an amount
larger than the Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 3.3.

         3.9 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractions of shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or scrip in lieu thereof. If any
fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this
Paragraph 3.9, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall in
lieu thereof pay to the person entitled thereto an amount in cash equal to the
current value of such fraction, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100)
of a share, to be computed (i) if the Common Stock is listed on any national
securities exchange on the basis of the last sales price of the Common Stock on
such exchange (or the quoted closing bid price if there shall have been no
sales) on the date of conversion, or (ii) if the Common Stock shall not be
listed, on the basis of the mean between the closing bid and asked prices for
the Common Stock on the date of conversion as reported by NASDAQ, or its
successor, and if there are not such closing bid and asked prices, on the basis
of the fair market value per share as determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company.

         3.10 Officers' Statement as to Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price
shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3 hereof, the Company shall forthwith
file at each office designated for the exercise of this Warrant, a statement,
signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or
Treasurer of the Company, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment and the Purchase Price that will be effective after such adjustment.
The Company shall also cause a notice setting forth any such adjustments to be
sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the record holder of this Warrant
at his or its address appearing on the stock register. If such notice relates to
an adjustment resulting from an event referred to in Paragraph 3.6, such notice
shall be included as part of the notice required to be mailed and published
under the provisions of Paragraph 3.6 hereof.

         4. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its
charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of
assets or any other voluntary 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 in the taking of all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
holder hereof against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the par value of any
shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise, and at all times will 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 stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

         5. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued stock, solely for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this
Warrant and other similar Warrants, such number of its duly authorized shares of
Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and all other similar Warrants at the time outstanding.

         6. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to it, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation thereof, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of
like tenor.

         7. REMEDIES. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the
holder of this Warrant in the event of any default by the Company in the
performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and
will not be adequate, and that the same may be specifically enforced.

         8. NEGOTIABILITY, ETC. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms,
to all of which each taker or owner hereof consents and agrees:

         (a)      Subject to the legend appearing on the first page hereof,
                  title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by
                  the holder hereof executing the form of assignment at the end
                  hereof including guaranty of signature) and delivery in the
                  same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument
                  transferable by endorsement and delivery.

         (b)      Any person in possession of this Warrant properly endorsed is
                  authorized to represent himself as absolute owner hereof and
                  is granted power to transfer absolute title hereto by
                  endorsement and delivery hereof to a bona fide purchaser
                  hereof for value; each prior taker or owner waives and
                  renounces all of his equities or rights in this Warrant in
                  favor of every such bona fide purchaser, and every such bona
                  fide purchaser


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

                  shall acquire title hereto and to all rights represented
                  hereby.

         (c)      Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company,
                  the Company may treat the registered holder of this Warrant as
                  the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being
                  affected by any notice to the contrary.

         (d)      Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the holder hereof shall
                  not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company
                  with respect to shares for which this Warrant shall be
                  exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote,
                  to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any
                  preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any
                  notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided
                  herein.

         (e)      The Company shall not be required to pay any Federal or state
                  transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any
                  transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of this Warrant
                  or the issuance or conversion or delivery of certificates for
                  Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered
                  holder of this Warrant or to issue or deliver any certificates
                  for Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant until any
                  and all such taxes and charges shall have been paid by the
                  holder of this Warrant or until it has been established to the
                  Company's satisfaction that no such tax or charge is due.

         9. SUBDIVISION OF RIGHTS. This Warrant (as well as any new Warrants
issued pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph) is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the holder hereof, at the principal office of the Company
for any number of new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the
aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder.

         10. MAILING OF NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications from
the Company to the holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first-class
certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address furnished to the Company in
writing by the last holder of this Warrant who shall have furnished an address
to the Company in writing.

         11. HEADINGS, ETC. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of

discharge or termination is sought.
