     This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of this
1ST day of May 1999, to become effective at the time set forth in Section 1
hereof, between eSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and AMY
BETH HANSMAN, an individual person (the "Executive").

                                     RECITAL

     A. The Company desires to employ the Executive as CHIEF ACCOUNTING OFFICER,
and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company in such position upon
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     B. The Executive acknowledges that during the course of the Executive's
employment the Executive will receive or be exposed to certain confidential
information and trade secrets (collectively referred to as "Confidential
Information") of the Company. The Executive also acknowledges that this
Confidential Information is among the Company's most important assets and that
the value of this Confidential Information would be diminished or extinguished
by disclosure.

                                    AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:

     1. EMPLOYMENT; POSITION; TERM. The Company hereby employs the Executive and
the Executive hereby accepts employment with the Company in the capacity of
CHIEF ACCOUNTING OFFICER. Subject to Section 4, the term of Executive's
employment under this Agreement (the "Term") shall be for 36 months, beginning
May 1, 1999 and ending April 30, 2002.

     2. DUTIES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND AUTHORITY. In the capacity as CHIEF
ACCOUNTING OFFICER for the Company, the Executive shall have primary
responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of the Company's financial
policies and plans, accounting, budgeting, treasury, tax, insurance, investor
relations, financing, and human resources. Responsibilities also include the
Company's relationship with financial institutions, investors, and government
agencies. The Executive shall report to and be subject to the direction and
control of the President of the Company. The Executive shall devote
substantially all of Executive's full professional and managerial time and
effort to the performance of the duties as CHIEF ACCOUNTING OFFICER and shall
not engage in other business activity or activities which, in the reasonable
good-faith judgement of the President of the Company, conflict with the
performance of duties under this Agreement.

     3. COMPENSATION

          (a) SALARY. For services rendered under this Agreement, the Company
shall pay the Executive a salary at the rate of $5,833.33 per month.

          (b) BONUS. The Executive shall be eligible to receive a performance
bonus based upon mutually agreed company and department performance criteria for
each fiscal quarter of the Company completed during the term of this Agreement.
The target bonus pay at 100% of attainment is $10,000 per quarter. The payment
of the Executive's incentive pay shall be made as soon as practicable but no
later than sixty (60) days following the end of the quarter.

          (d) STOCK OPTIONS. The Executive has been granted incentive stock
options pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan to purchase up to 35,000
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Company's common stock on the day of the grant, subject to
board approval. Shares shall vest over a 36 month period with no vesting until
the beginning of the eighth month at which time seven-thirty-sixths (7/36) of
the options will vest, and then one-thirty-sixth (1/36) will vest after the
beginning of each month thereafter. Vesting shall occur as long as the Executive
remains an employee of the Company. The options, once vested shall have an
expiration date of 4 years from the date of grant of the option. In addition,
the Executive may participate in stock option programs of the Company upon such
terms as the administrators of such programs in their discretion determine.

          (e) ANNUAL REVIEW. The Executive's salary, bonus, options and terms
of the severance in Section 7 of this Agreement shall be reviewed annually
beginning January 1, 2000 and may be increased as the Board deems appropriate,
but shall not be decreased during the term without mutual agreement.

          (f) BENEFITS AND VACATION. The Executive shall be eligible to
participate in such insurance programs (health, disability or life) or such
other health, dental, retirement or similar employee benefits programs as the
Board may approve, on a basis comparable to that available to other officers and
executive employees of the Company. The Executive shall be entitled to a minimum
of four weeks of paid vacation per year. Vacation time may be accumulated for up
to one year beyond the year for which it is accrued and may be used any time
during such year. Any vacation time not used during such additional year shall
be forfeited. The value of any accrued but unused and unforfeited vacation time
shall be paid in cash to the Executive upon termination of Executive's
employment for any reason.

          (g) REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse the
Executive in a timely manner for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Executive in connection with the performance of Executive's duties under
this Agreement; provided that the Executive presents to the Company an itemized
accounting of such expenses including reasonable supporting data and follows the
Company's travel policies.

     4. TERMINATION.

          (a) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section 7 hereof, the
Company may, by delivering thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Executive, terminate the Executive's employment at any time without Cause (as
hereinafter defined).

          (b) TERMINATION BY THE EXECUTIVE WITHOUT CAUSE. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section 7 hereof, the
Executive may, by delivering thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Company, terminate the Executive's employment hereunder.

          (c) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate
the Executive's employment for Cause immediately upon written notice stating the
basis for such termination. "Cause" for termination of the Executive's
employment shall only be deemed to exist if the Executive has (i) breached this
Agreement and if such breach continues or recurs more than thirty (30) days
after notice from the Company specifying the action which constitutes the breach
and demanding its discontinuance, (ii) exhibited willful disobedience of lawful
directions of the President or of the Board, or (iii) committed gross
malfeasance in performance of Executive's duties hereunder or acts resulting in
an indictment charging the Executive with the commission of a felony; provided
that the commission of acts resulting in such an indictment shall constitute
Cause only if a majority of the directors who are not also subject to any such
indictment determine that the Executive's conduct has substantially adversely
affected the Company or its reputation. A material failure to perform
Executive's duties hereunder that results from the disability of the Executive
shall not be considered Cause for Executive's termination.

          (d) TERMINATION BY THE EXECUTIVE FOR CAUSE. The Executive may
terminate employment for Cause immediately upon written notice stating the basis
for such termination. "Cause" for termination of employment by the Executive
shall only be deemed to exist if the Company has breached this Agreement and if
such breach continues or recurs more than thirty (30) days after notice from the
Executive specifying the action which constitutes the breach and demanding its
discontinuance, or if the Company is engaged in unlawful activity or requests
the Executive to engage in unlawful activity.

     5. DISABILITY. In the event of disability of the Executive during the term
hereof, the Company shall, during the continuance of Executive's disability but
only for a maximum of 90 days following the determination of disability, pay the
Executive the Executive's then current salary, as provided for in Section 3(a),
and adjusted pursuant to Section 3(b), and continue to provide the Executive all
other benefits provided hereunder. As used herein, the term "disability" shall
mean the complete and total inability of the Executive, due to illness, physical
or comprehensive mental impairment, to substantially perform all of Executive's
duties as described herein for a consecutive period of thirty (30) days or more.

     6. DEATH. In the event of the death of the Executive, except with respect
to any benefits which have accrued and have not been paid to the Executive
hereunder, the

                                       3
<PAGE>

provisions of this Agreement shall terminate immediately. The Executive's estate
shall have the right to receive compensation due to the Executive as of and to
the date of Executive's death and shall have the right to receive an additional
amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Executive's annual compensation then
in effect.

     7. SEVERANCE. In the event that the Executive's employment is terminated by
the Company other than for Cause or death of the Executive, or in the event
there is either a material change in the responsibilities of the Executive or a
loss of position within six (6) months after a Change of Control (as defined in
Section 12 of this Agreement), or if Executive terminates this Agreement for
Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to receive Executive's then current
salary and benefits, as provided for in Sections 3(a) and 3(e), payable in
semi-monthly installments, for the greater of six (6) months or that number of
months which equals the number of years that have elapsed from the initial date
of this Agreement until the date of the Executive's termination by the Company;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any of such payments would (i) constitute a
"parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Intemal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code") and (ii) but for this provision, be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"); the amount
payable hereunder shall be reduced to the largest amount which the Executive
determines would not result in any portion of the payments hereunder being
subject to the Excise Tax. If the Executive voluntarily resigns Executive's
employment hereunder or if Executive's employment is terminated for Cause, the
Executive shall not be entitled to any severance pay or other compensation
beyond the date of termination of Executive's employment.

     8. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.

          (a) During the continuance of the Executive's employment hereunder
and for a period of twelve (12) months after termination of the Executive's
employment hereunder, pursuant to section 4.b or 4.c hereof, the Executive shall
not engage in any business which competes with the Company or its affiliates
anywhere in the United States or Canada during the Executive's employment
hereunder or at the time of termination.

          (b) The Executive shall not, for a period of twelve (12) months after
termination of the Executive's employment hereunder, pursuant to section 4.b or
4.c hereof, employ, engage or seek to employ or engage for himself or any other
person or entities, any individual who is or was employed or engaged by the
Company or any of its affiliates until the expiration of six (6) months
following the termination of such person's or entity's employment or engagement
with the Company or any of its affiliates.

     9. TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During Executive's
employment by the Company and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use, disseminate, or disclose for
any purpose other than for the purposes of the Company's business, any
Confidential Information of the Company or its affiliates, unless such
disclosure is compelled in a judicial proceeding. Upon termination of
Executive's employment, all documents, records, notebooks, and similar
repositories of records containing information relating to any Confidential
Information then in the Executive's

                                       4
<PAGE>

possession or control, whether prepared by him or by others, shall be left with
the Company or, if requested, returned to the Company.

     10. SEVERABILITY. It is the desire and intent of the undersigned parties
that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 shall be enforced to the fullest extent
permissible under the laws in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
Accordingly, if any particular sentence or portion of either Section 8 or 9
shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of
such section nevertheless shall continue to be valid and enforceable as though
the invalid portions were not a part thereof. In the event that any of the
provisions of Section 8 relating to the geographic areas of restriction or the
provisions of Sections 8 or 9 relating to the duration of such Sections shall be
deemed to exceed the maximum area or period of time which a court of competent
jurisdiction would deem enforceable, the geographic areas and times shall, for
the purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the maximum areas or time
periods which a court of competent jurisdiction would deem valid and enforceable
in any state in which such court of competent jurisdiction shall be convened.

     11. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The Executive agrees that any violation by Executive
of the provisions contained in Sections 8 and 9 are likely to cause irreparable
damage to the Company, and therefore Executive agrees that if there is a breach
or threatened breach by the Executive of the provisions of said sections, the
Company shall be entitled to pursue an injunction restraining the Executive from
such breach, and Executive will make no objection to the form of relief sought.
Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any
other available remedies for such breach or threatened breach.

     12. MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a) NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be directed to the appropriate party in writing and mailed or
delivered, if to the Company, to eSoft, Inc., to the attention of the President,
at 295 Interlocken Blvd, #500, Broomfield, Colorado 80021, and if to the
Executive, at 12939 S. U.S. Hwy 285, Conifer, CO, 80433. Notification addresses
may be changed with written notice.

          (b) BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement is a personal service agreement
and may not be assigned by the Company or the Executive, except that the Company
may assign this Agreement to a successor of the Company by merger,
consolidation, sale of substantially all of the Company's assets or other
reorganization (a "Change of Control"). Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives.

          (c) AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be amended except by an
instrument in writing executed by each of the undersigned parties.

          (d) APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement is entered into in the State of
Colorado and for all purposes shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Colorado.

          (e) ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event either party takes legal action to
enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, the unsuccessful party to such
action will pay the successful party's reasonable expenses, including attorney's
fees, incurred in such action.

          (f) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior
agreements between the parties related to the employment of the Executive by the
Company.

                              EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

     2.1 METHOD OF EXERCISE. To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the
Holder will deliver to the Company at the Warrant Office: (a) a written notice,
in substantially the form of the subscription notice attached as EXHIBIT A
(modified, as appropriate, to reflect any conditional exercise or change in the
terms of exercise as described below) of Holder's election to exercise this

Company in an amount equal to the product of the Price Per Share multiplied by
the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased. Upon receipt of the
Notice, the Company will promptly execute and deliver a certificate or
certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
specified in the Notice. The stock certificate or certificates will be in the
denominations as specified in the Notice and will be registered in the name of
Holder or such other name or names as designated in the Notice; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, the Company has no obligation to issue such shares in any manner which
would result in a violation of the registration requirements of the Act or any
applicable State Securities Laws. Such certificate or certificates will be
deemed to have been issued and the Holder or any other person so designated to
be named therein will be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of
record of such shares as of the date the Notice and payment is received by the
Company. If this Warrant is exercised only in part, the Company will, at the
time of delivery of the certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock
called for by this Warrant. The new Warrant will in all other respects be
identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate
notation may be made on this Warrant which will then be returned to the Holder.
The Company will pay all expenses, transfer (but not income) taxes and other
charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of
stock certificates and new Warrants, except that, in case stock certificates or
new Warrants will be registered in a name or names other than the name of the
Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes which are payable upon the
issuance of stock certificates or new Warrants will be paid by the Holder
promptly upon receipt of a written request of the Company for payment.

     2.2 CASHLESS EXERCISE. In lieu of exercising the Warrant for cash
pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above, the Holder shall have the right to require
the company to convert the Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time or
times (the "Conversion Right"), into Warrant Shares, by surrender to the
Company of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, duly
completed and executed by the Holder to evidence the exercise of the
Conversion Right. Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder a certificate(s) representing that number of Warrant
Shares which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing

                                       3
<PAGE>

(x) the value of the Warrant at the date the Conversion Right is exercised
(determined by subtracting (A) the aggregate Price Per Share for all Warrant
Shares immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right from (B) the
aggregate fair market value of all Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise
of such Warrant immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right)
(determined on the basis of the fair market value per share of the Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of such Warrants immediately prior to the
exercise of the Conversion Right)), by (y) the fair market value per share of
one share of Common Stock on the date of the exercise of the Conversion
Right. For purpose of this calculation, the fair market value per share of
Common Stock shall be, (i) if a public market for the Company's Common Stock
exists at the time of such exercise, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or
the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or closing price quoted on
the Nasdaq National Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is
listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Wall Street Journal for
the five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market
value; or (ii) if there is no public market for the Company's Common Stock,
determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith. Any references
in this Warrant to the "exercise" of any Warrants, and the use of the term
"exercise" herein, shall be deemed to include (without limitation) any
exercise of the Conversion Right. If this Warrant is exercised only in part,
the Company will, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the
remaining shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant. The new Warrant
will in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request
of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant which will
then be returned to the Holder. The Company will pay all expenses, transfer
(but not income) taxes and other charges payable in connection with the
preparation, issuance and delivery of stock certificates and new Warrants,
except that, in case stock certificates or new Warrants will be registered in
a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay
all transfer taxes which are payable upon the issuance of stock certificates
or new Warrants will be paid by the Holder promptly upon receipt of a written
request of the Company for payment.

     2.3 SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID AND NONASSESSABLE. All shares of Common Stock
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     2.4 LEGEND ON WARRANT AND STOCK CERTIFICATES. This Warrant and any
certificates or other instruments which evidence the shares issued upon exercise
of the Warrant will bear a legend substantially to the following effect
(together with any other legends required under applicable state laws):

                 THEN BE IN EFFECT OR UNLESS THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION
                 FROM REGISTRATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR
                 DISPOSITION OF THIS WARRANT [OR, AS APPLICABLE, THE STOCK

                                   ARTICLE III

                               TRANSFER OF WARRANT

     This Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person by
presentation to the Company of the Warrant and an assignment, in form reasonably
acceptable to the Company and its counsel, duly executed by the Holder or its
duly authorized agent or attorney along with written instructions for such
Transfer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Holder agrees not to transfer the Warrant, any
Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant, except pursuant to (i) an
effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable State
Securities Laws or (ii) an opinion, of counsel satisfactory to the Company and
its counsel, that such Transfer is exempt from registration under the Act and
any applicable State Securities laws. The Company will not be required to take
any action which would result in a violation of such provisions. Upon
presentation for Transfer in compliance with the terms of this Warrant, the
Company will promptly execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants identical to
this Warrant in the name or names of the transferee or transferees and in the
denominations specified in such instructions. The Company will pay all expenses,
taxes (other than income taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the
preparation, issuance and delivery of Warrants under this Article III, except
that funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes pertaining to the Transfer which
are payable upon the issuance of such new Warrants will be paid by the Holder
promplty upon receipt of written request of the Company for payment.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                   ADJUSTMENTS

     4.1 ADJUSTMENTS OF PRICE PER SHARE. In order to prevent dilution of the
rights granted to Holder, the Price Per Share will be subject to adjustment from
time to time in accordance with this Article IV.

     4.2 PRICE REDUCTION FORMULA. Except as provided in Sections 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5
below, if the Company (i) issues or sells any shares of its Common Stock for
consideration per share that is less than the Price Per Share in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, or (ii) issues or sells any
Options with an exercise price per share of Common Stock less than the Price

                                       5
<PAGE>

Per Share in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then
upon such issue or sale (the "Triggering Transaction"), the Price Per Share
will, subject to this Article IV, be reduced to Price Per Share equal to the
consideration per share received by the Company in such issue or sale of Common
Stock. If any shares of Common Stock are issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to
be the amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock
are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of
consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of
such consideration, as reasonably determined by the Company's Board of
Directors. If any shares of Common Stock are issued in connection with any
merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of
consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation attributable to
such Common Stock, as the case may be, as reasonably determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company.

     4.3 STOCK DIVIDENDS, SPLITS, ETC. To the extent not theretofore exercised,
the Price Per Share and the Number of Available Shares will be subject to
appropriate decrease or increase, as the case may be, if the Company at any time
after the date hereof either (i) declares any dividend or distribution payable
in shares of Common Stock or in securities directly or indirectly convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or (ii) subdivides or combines
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

     4.4 EXCEPTIONS. The provisions of this Article IV will not apply to any
Common Stock (or rights with respect thereto) issued or issuable to any person
pursuant to (1) any stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or arrangement
for the benefit of the officers, directors and employees of or consultants to
the Company or its subsidiaries adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Company, or (2) stock (or rights with respect thereto) issued or issuable to
Fusion Capital Fund LLC ("Fusion") pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
dated November 15, 1999 between the Company and Fusion.

     4.5 RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. In case of any
reclassification, change or exchange of the Common Stock (other than a change in
par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of such shares), or in
case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company
is a continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification,
change or exchange of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant), or in case of any sale of all of substantially all of the assets of
the Company, or if the Company shall declare a dividend or distribution (except
in shares of Common Stock or in securities directly or indirectly convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) upon the shares of Common Stock
payable otherwise than in cash out of earned surplus, the Company, or such
successor or purchasing corporation as the case may be, will execute a new
Warrant, providing that Holder will have the right to exercise such new Warrant,
and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate exercise price,
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock previously issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and
property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, dividend
or distribution, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or
merger by a holder of an

                                       6
<PAGE>

equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. Such new Warrant will provide for
adjustments that will be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Article IV.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     5.1 NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. In case:

     (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or
any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Capital Stock of any class,
or to receive any other rights; or

     (b) of any capital reorganization, any reclassification of shares of
Capital Stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company or
the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;
or

     (c) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the
Company; then the Company shall mail (at least twenty (20) days prior to the
applicable date referred to in subclause (x) or in subclause (y) below, as the
case may be), to the Holder at the address set forth in the Company's stock
records, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled
to such dividend, distribution, or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date
on which such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is expected to become
effective, and, if applicable, the date as of which it is expected that holders
of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
capital reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding up.

     5.2 SUCCESSORS. This Warrant will be binding upon any corporation
succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets.

     5.3 GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Deleware without regard to its conflict
of laws provisions.

     5.4 Waiver and Amendment. Any term or provision of this Warrant may be
waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefits thereof and any
term or provision of this Warrant may be amended or supplemented at any time by
agreement of the Holder and the Company, except that any waiver of any term or
condition, or any amendment or supplementation, of this Warrant must be in
writing. A writer of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or
conditions of this Warrant will not in any way affect, limit or waive a party's
rights under this Warrant at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter
with any term or condition of this Warrant.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     5.5 SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Warrant is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for
any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in
any other respect and the remaining provisions of this Warrant will not, at the
election of the party for whom the benfit of the provision exists, be in any way
impaired.

     5.6 FILING OF WARRANT. A copy of this Warrant will be filed in the records
of the Company.

     5.7 NOTICE. Any notice or other document required or permitted to be given
or delivered to the Holder will be delivered personally, or sent by certified or
registered mail, to the Holder at the last address shown on the books of the
Company maintained at the Warrant Office for the registration of, and the
registration of transfer of, the Warrant or at any more recent address of which
the holder will have notified the Company in writing. Any notice or other
document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Company, other
than such notice or documents required to be delivered to the Warrant Office,
will be delivered at, or sent by certified or registered mail to, the office of
the Company described above or such other address within the United States of
America as will have been furnished by the Company to the Holder.

     5.8 LOSS, DESTRUCTION, ETC. OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of the
Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery
of a bond of indemnity in such form and the amount as is reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, or in the event of such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of the Warrant, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant, in
lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. Any Warrant issued
under the provisions of this Section 5.7 in lieu of any Warrant alleged to be
lost, destroyed or stolen, or in lieu if any mutilated Warrant, will constitute
an original contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

     5.9 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NOT STOCKHOLDERS. No provision of this
Warrant will be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote,
consent, receive dividends or receive notice, other than as expressly provided
in this Warrant, in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of
directors of the Company or any other matter whatsoever as a stockholder of the
Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by
the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration in this
Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, will give rise to any
liability of such Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
