      of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such
      Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or
      certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
      Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such
      denominations as may be requested by such Holder, plus, in lieu of any
      fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal
      to
      such fraction multiplied by the then current fair market value of one full
      share, together with any other stock or other securities any property (including
      cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise
      pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

      issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, other than a split or combination of
      shares), or in case of any sale or conveyance to any other person or entity
      of

    13.
      “Piggy-Back” Registration.

    


       a. Grant
      of
      Right. The Holder of this Warrant shall have the right for a period of five
      years from the date of grant of this Warrant to include all or any part of
      this
      Warrant and the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant (collectively,
      the “Registrable Securities”) as part of any registration of securities filed by
      the Company (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule
      145(a) promulgated under the Act); provided, however, that if, in the written
      opinion of the Company’s managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, for such
      offering determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number
      of
      shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter in its sole discretion
      may
      limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration,
      or may exclude Registrable Securities entirely from such registration. In such
      case, the Company shall so advise Holder whose Registrable Securities otherwise
      would be included in such registration and underwritten offering shall be
      allocated among other selling shareholders requesting registration in
      proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable
      Securities held by Holder and registrable shares each of such other selling
      shareholders at the date of filing of the Registration Statement. If Holder
      disapproves of the terms and conditions of the underwritten offering, Holder
      may
      withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing
      underwriter(s). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such
      underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from such registration.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


       b.
       Lock
      Up.
      Holder hereby agrees that, if requested by the Company and the managing
      underwriter(s), it will enter into a customary form of “lock-up” agreement with
      the Company and the managing underwriter(s) with respect to any Registrable
      Securities then held by Holder, which agreement shall contain such Registrable
      Securities than those contained in any other such agreements then entered into
      by the Company and the managing underwriter(s) with other comparable holders
      of
      the Company’s Common Stock.

    


       c.
       Terms.
      The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the
      Reigstrable Securities, including any filing fees payable to the National
      Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), but the Holder shall pay any
      and
      all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected
      by
      the Holder to represent it in connection with the sale of the Registrable
      Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall
      furnish the then Holder of outstanding Registrable Securities with prompt
      written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration
      statement. Such notice to the Holder shall continue to be given for each
      registration statement filed by the Company until such time as all of the
      Registrable Securities have been sold by the Holder. The Holder of the
      Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided for
      herein by giving written notice, within twenty days of the receipt of the
      Company’s notice of its intention to file a registration statement. Nothing
      contained in this Warrant shall be construed as requiring any Holder to exercise
      this Warrant or any part thereof prior to the initial filing of any registration
      statement or the effectiveness thereof. The Company shall have the right to
      terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by the Company under this
      Section 5 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not Holder
      has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.

      WITNESS WHEREOF, Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. has caused this Warrant to
      be
      executed on its behalf by one of its officers thereunto duly
      authorized.
