EXHIBIT 4.43

THIS  NOTE  AND  THE  SECURITIES  ISSUABLE  UPON CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED  UNDER  THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT").  THEY MAY
NOT  BE  SOLD,  OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
EXCEPT  PURSUANT  TO  AN  EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER  THE  ACT,  OR  UNLESS  SOLD  PURSUANT  TO  RULE  144  UNDER  THE  ACT.

                           CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

$2,500,000                                                      March  21,  2001
                                                          Pleasanton, California

     FOR  VALUE RECEIVED, Appiant Technologies, Inc., formerly doing business as
Nhancement  Technologies  Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), promises
to pay to the order of L. Thomas Baldwin III, or his assigns (the "Holder"), the
principal  sum  of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$2,500,000) with
interest  on  the  outstanding  principal  amount  at the simple rate of 10% per
annum.  Interest  shall  commence with the date hereof and shall continue on the
outstanding principal until converted or paid in accordance with paragraphs 1 or
2  of  this  Note.

     1.     Payment  of  Principal  and  Interest.  Unless  sooner  converted in
            -------------------------------------
accordance  with  paragraph  2,  the  entire unpaid balance of principal and all
unpaid  accrued interest shall become fully due and payable on May 31, 2001 (the
"Maturity  Date").  The  principal  and  accrued  interest  under this note (the
"Note")  may  be prepaid in whole or in part, in cash or in shares (as preferred
by  Holder)  of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company ("Common
Stock"),  at  any  time  and  from  time  to  time, without penalty, in the sole
discretion  of the Company.  If Holder prefers that such prepayment be made with
shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock shall be valued at the Conversion Price
set  forth  in  Section  2(a).  If  the  Company shareholders do not approve the
issuance  of  equity  to  Holder  by May 31, 2001, the Holder will wait for such
approval, which the Company must reasonably pursue, and if the shareholders fail
to approve the issuance of equity, then Holder may receive cash in the amount of
$250,000.00  in  addition  to  the repayment of the principal and unpaid accrued
interest  at  25%  per  annum.

     2.     Conversion.  As long as the Company's shareholders have approved the
            ----------
following  conversion rights, the Holder shall have conversion rights as follows
(the  "Conversion  Rights"):
       ------------------

          (a)     Right  to Convert.  The Holder may at any time on or after the
                  -----------------
Maturity  Date  convert  the principal and accrued interest under this Note into
shares  of  Common Stock.  The principal and accrued interest shall be converted
into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price (the "Conversion Price") equal

<PAGE>
to  eighty  percent  (80%)  of  the  average of the five (5) days lowest closing
market  price (which for purposes of this Note means the last highest bid price)
of  the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or Nasdaq National Market, as
applicable  during  the  period  beginning  on  March 16, 2001 and ending on the
Maturity  Date  (provided  that  such  ending  date  shall  be  deemed to be the
conversion date in the case of a conversion by the Company of part or all of the
Note  pursuant  to  Section  1 and prior to the Maturity Date).  Further, if the
principal  and  accrued  interest  on this Note is not paid in full or converted
into  Common  Stock for any reason other than awaiting shareholder approval, and
otherwise  in  accordance  with the terms hereof on or before the Maturity Date,
then  the Conversion Price shall be reduced by 20 % for each full week that this
Note  is  not so paid or converted, provided that the Conversion Price shall not
in any event be reduced to less than $1.00.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
conversion  shall  not  result  in  an  issuance  of shares of Common Stock that
exceeds  19.9%  of  the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  then  issued and
outstanding,  without obtaining stockholder approval of such issuance, nor shall
it  result in an issuance which would otherwise violate applicable Nasdaq rules.
To  the  extent  that a conversion would result in an issuance in excess of such
19.9%  amount,  then the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of shares
of Common Stock equal to such 19.9% amount, and the remaining difference between
(x)  the  then  outstanding  principal and accrued interest and (y) the value of
such  issuance  of  shares  of  Common Stock (based on the applicable Conversion
Price),  shall  be  immediately  due  and  payable in cash by the Company to the
Holder.

          (b)     Mechanism  of Conversion.  Before the Holder shall be entitled
                  ------------------------
to  convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of Common
Stock,  the  Holder  shall  surrender the Note at the office of this Company and
shall  give written notice to this Company at its principal corporate office, of
the  election  to  convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in
which  the  certificate  or  certificates  for  shares of Common Stock are to be
issued.  Such  conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to
the  close of business on the date of such surrender of the Note, and the person
or  persons  entitled  to  receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion  shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such  shares  of  Common  Stock  as  of  such  date.

          (c)     No  Fractional  Shares.  No  fractional shares shall be issued
                  ----------------------
upon  conversion  of  the  Note  and  the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued  shall  be  rounded  down  to  the  nearest  whole  share.

          (d)     Legends.  It  is  understood  that the certificates evidencing
                  -------
the  Common  Stock  issued  pursuant  to the conversion of the Note may bear the
following  legends:

               "THESE  SECURITIES  HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT  OF  1933,  AS  AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED  IN  THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT
TO  THE  SECURITIES  UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY  THAT  SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE
144  OF  SUCH  ACT."

                                        2
<PAGE>
          (e)     Purchase  Entirely  for  Own  Account.  This Note is made with
                  -------------------------------------
Holder  in  reliance  upon such Holder's representation to the Company, that the
Common  Stock  to  be received by the Holder upon conversion of the Note will be
acquired  for  investment  for  such  Holder's  own account, not as a nominee or
agent,  and  not  with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and  that  such  Holder  has  no  present  intention  of  selling,  granting any
participation  in,  or  otherwise  distributing  the  same.

          (f)     Release.  Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment
                  -------
of  the  amounts  specified in this note, the Company shall be released from all
its  obligations  and  liabilities  under  this  Note.

     3.     New Warrants.  In connection with this Note, the Company will issue,
            ------------
as  of  the date hereof, a Warrant to the Holder to purchase 462,963 (subject to
adjustment  pursuant  to  the terms of the Warrant), shares of Common Stock.  In
addition,  if  the Company has not completed, on or before the Maturity Date, an
equity  investment  in the Company in the aggregate principal amount of at least
Six  Million  Dollars  ($6,000,000)  (the  "Financing"), and the Company has not
prepaid  as  set  forth  in  paragraph 1 above, then the Company shall issue the
Holder  an additional Warrant (the "Additional Warrant") to purchase that number
of  shares  of  Common  Stock equal to the product of (x) 15% of the loan amount
multiplied  by  (y)  the  number  of  full  weeks, up to four weeks, between the
Maturity Date and the date that the Financing is completed.  All Warrants issued
pursuant  to  this  Section shall have an exercise price of $2.70 (the "Exercise
Price")  (subject  to  adjustment  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Warrant or
Additional  Warrant).  Rights granted to the Holder with respect to the Warrants
issued  pursuant  to  this  Section  shall include, among other things, standard
anti-dilution protection for stock splits, recapitalizations and the like.  Each
Warrant  issued  pursuant  to this Section shall expire seven (7) years from the
date  of  its  respective  issuance.

     4.     Events  of  Defaults; Acceleration.  (a) An "Event of Default" under
            ----------------------------------
this  Note shall exist if (i) the Company fails to pay when due any principal or
interest  on  this  Note,  (ii)  the  Company  defaults in the performance of or
compliance with any material term, covenant or agreement contained in this Note,
if  any,  and such failure continues for 10 days after written notice thereof to
the  Company,  (iv)  the Company shall generally not pay its debts as such debts
become  due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally,
or  shall  make  a  general  assignment  for  the  benefit  of creditors; or any
proceeding  shall  be instituted by or against the Company seeking to adjudicate
it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization,
arrangement,  adjustment,  protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts
under  any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of
debtors,  or  seeking  the  entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a
receiver,  trustee or similar official for it or for any substantial part of its
property  and  assets and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against
it  (but  not instituted by it) that is being diligently contested by it in good
faith,  either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period
of  60  days or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without
limitation,  the  entry  of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a
receiver,  trustee,  custodian  or  other  similar  official  for,  it  or  any
substantial  part  of its property or assets) shall occur, (v) the Company shall
take  any  corporate  action  to authorize any of the actions set forth above in
clause  (iv), or (vi) the Company shall default in the observance or performance
of any other agreement, term or condition contained in any bond, debenture, note
or  other  evidence  of  indebtedness,  which  is  material  to  the Company and

                                        3
<PAGE>
provides for material principal payments, and, in each event, the effect of such
failure  or  default is to cause the holder or holders thereof to accelerate the
indebtedness  to  become  due  prior  to  its  stated  date  of  maturity.

          (b)     If  any  Event  of  Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Holder  may,  at  any time, at its option by notice to the Company, declare this
Note  to  be  immediately  due  and  payable.

          (c)     Upon  this Note becoming due and payable under this Section 5,
this  Note  will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of this
Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall all be immediately due
and  payable,  in  each  and  every case without presentment, demand, protect or
further  notice  of  any  kind,  all  of which are hereby waived by the Company.

     5.     Covenants  of  the Parties.  The Parties covenant that no conversion
            --------------------------
in  connection  with  this Note will occur until the Company's shareholders have
approved  the  issuance  of such equity.  The Parties further covenant with each
other  that  trading  activities  with respect to shares of the Company's Common
Stock  will  be  in  compliance with all applicable state and federal securities
laws,  rules  and regulations and rules and regulations of the trading market on
which  the  Company's  Common  Stock  is  listed.  For  so  long  as the Note is
outstanding, neither the Holder nor any of its affiliates will be in a net short
position with regard to the Common Stock of the Company in any accounts directly
or  indirectly  owned  or  controlled  by  the  Investor.

     6.     Governing  Law.  The  terms  of  this  Note  shall  be  construed in
            --------------
accordance  with  the  laws  of the State of California, as applied to contracts
entered  into  by  California  residents  within  the State of California, which
contracts  are  to  be  performed  entirely  within  the  State  of  California.

     7.     Amendment.  Any  term of this Note may be amended or waived with the
            ---------
written  consent  of  Company  and  the  Holder.

     8.     Severability.  If  any provision of this Note, or the application of
            ------------
such  provision to any person or circumstance, is held invalid or unenforceable,
the  remainder of this note, or the application of such provisions to persons or
circumstances  other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable,
shall  not  be  affected  thereby.

     9.     Successors  and  Assigns.  Except  as otherwise provided herein, the
            ------------------------
terms  and  conditions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon  the  respective  successors  and  assigns of the parties.  Nothing in this
Note,  express  or  implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the
parties  hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Note, except as expressly
provided  in  this  Note.

     10.     Counterparts.  This  Note  may  be  executed  in  two  or  more

HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED ("1933
SECURITIES ACT"), OR QUALIFIED OR REGISTERED UNDER CALIFORNIA OR OTHER
APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS ("STATE SECURITIES LAWS"), AND THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN,

                              COMMON STOCK WARRANT

This certifies that L. Thomas Baldwin III, ("PURCHASER"), whose address for
notice is located at Suite 2850, 141 West Jackson, Illinois 60604 or any party
to whom this Warrant is assigned in compliance with the terms hereof (Purchaser
and any such assignee being hereinafter sometimes referenced as "HOLDER"), is
entitled to subscribe for and purchase, in whole or in part, during the period
commencing at the issue date set forth above and ending at 5:00 p.m.,
California, local time, on the seventh (7th) anniversary of such issue date, the
number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock ("COMMON STOCK")
APPIANT TECHNOLOGIES, INC, A DELAWARE CORPORATION (the "COMPANY"), that have an
aggregate purchase price equal to the Aggregate Price as defined below. The
purchase price of each such share shall be equal to the Warrant Price, as
defined below.

                                    ARTICLE 1

                                   DEFINITIONS

     1.1     "AGGREGATE PRICE" shall be $1,250,000.

     1.2     "WARRANT PRICE" shall be $2.70 as adjusted herein.

<PAGE>
                                    ARTICLE 2

                              EXERCISE AND PAYMENT

     2.1     CASH EXERCISE.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company, located at the address set forth on the
signature page hereof, accompanied by the form of Notice of Cash Exercise
attached hereto as Exhibit "B-1", and by the payment to the Company, by cash or
by certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the Company, of an amount
equal to the aggregate Warrant Price of the shares being purchased.

     2.2     FAIR MARKET VALUE.  For purposes of this Article II, fair market
value of one share of the Company's Common Stock shall mean:

          (i)     The average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common
Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary, the last reported sale
price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market System ("NMS") or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed,
whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street
Journal for the trading day prior to the date of determination of fair market
value; or

          (ii)     If the Common Stock is not traded Over-The-Counter, on the
NMS or on an exchange, the per share fair market value of the Common Stock shall
be as determined by mutual agreement of the Company and the Holder; provided,
however that if such agreement cannot be reached within twenty (20) calendar
days, such value shall be determined by an independent appraiser appointed in
good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.  The cost of such appraisal
shall be borne equally by the Company and the Holder.  Such appraiser shall meet
the following criteria:  (a) it shall not be associated or affiliated with the
Company in any fashion and shall not have previously provided services to the
Company; (b) the appraiser shall have reasonable qualifications to appraise the
value of the Common Stock; (c) it is not (and none of its affiliates is) a
promoter, director or officer of the Company or any of its affiliates or an
underwriter with respect to any of the securities of the Company; and (d) it
does not provide any advice or opinions of the Company except as an appraiser
under this section.  In the event such an appraisal is required it should be
conducted under the following procedures: the Company shall select the appraiser
within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice from the Holder that agreement
cannot be reached and the Company shall submit the name of such appraiser to
Holder. Twenty (20) days after selection of the appraiser, the Company and the
Holder shall each submit to the appraiser a single value representing such
party's contention as to the fair market value of one share of the Company's
Common Stock.  Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the submission of the
Company and the Holder, the appraiser shall select one of the two values
submitted by the parties, and such value shall be the fair market value of one
share of the Common Stock for purpose of this Warrant.  The appraiser shall have
no discretion to take any action other than selection of one of the two values
submitted to the appraiser.  The parties may submit to the appraiser and one
another, at the time they submit their respective single values, such supporting
documentation as they deem necessary or appropriate.  The parties shall have the

<PAGE>
opportunity seven (7) business days after receipt of other party's proposed
valuation and supporting documentation to provide the appraiser and each other
with supplemental written information.  The appraiser may, in its discretion,
hold a single six (6) hour hearing on valuation issues.  If a hearing is held,
each party shall be allocated three (3) hours.  The appraiser may conduct the
hearing in accordance with any rules of procedure it deems appropriate.  The
value selected by the appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties
without any further right of appeal.

     2.3     STOCK CERTIFICATES.  In the event of any exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased shall be delivered to Holder within a reasonable time and, unless this
Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the
remaining unexercised Aggregate Price shall also be issued to Holder at such
time.

     2.4     STOCK FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES.  The Company covenants and
agrees that all Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof
(excluding taxes based on the income of Holder).  The Company further covenants
and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock or other
securities as would be required upon the full exercise of the rights represented
by this Warrant (including conversion of all such Common Stock issuable
hereunder).

     2.5     FRACTIONAL SHARES.  No fractional share of Common Stock will be
issued in connection with any exercise hereof; in lieu of a fractional share
upon complete exercise hereof, Holder may purchase a whole share by delivering
payment equal to the appropriate portion of the then effective Warrant Price.

                                    ARTICLE 3

                          CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS OF NUMBER
                     OF SHARES PURCHASABLE AND WARRANT PRICE

     The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

     3.1     RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER.  In case of: (i) any
reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant; (ii) 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 which does not result in any
reclassification, change or exchange of outstanding securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant); or (iii) any sale or transfer to another corporation
of all, or substantially all, of the property of the Company, then, and in each
such event, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case
may be, shall execute a new Warrant of like form, tenor and effect and which

<PAGE>
will provide that Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and
purchase upon such exercise, in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, money
and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or transfer by a holder of one share of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to
such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer.  Such
new Warrant shall be as nearly equivalent in all substantive respects as
practicable to this Warrant and the adjustments provided in this Article III and
the provisions of this Section 3.1, shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers.

     3.2     SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES.  If the Company shall at any
time while this Warrant remains outstanding and less than fully exercised: (i)
divide its Company Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced; or
(ii) shall combine shares of its Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately increased.

     3.3     STOCK DIVIDENDS.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend payable in, or make any other
distribution to holders of, Common Stock (except any distribution described in
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof) then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to that
price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.

     3.4     TIME OF ADJUSTMENTS TO THE WARRANT PRICE.  All adjustments to the
Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder, unless otherwise
specified herein, shall be effective as of the earlier of:

          (i)     the date of issue of the security causing the adjustment;

          (ii)    the date of sale of the security causing the adjustment;

          (iii)   the effective date of a division or combination of shares;

          (iv)    the record date of any action of holders of any class of the
Company's capital stock taken for the purpose of entitling shareholders to
receive a distribution or dividend payable in equity securities, provided that
such division, combination, distribution or dividend actually occurs.

     3.5     NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS.  In each case of an adjustment in the
Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder, the Company, at
its expense, shall cause the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to compute
such adjustment and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  The Company
shall promptly mail a copy of each such certificate to Holder pursuant to
Section 6.8 hereof.

<PAGE>
     3.6     DURATION OF ADJUSTED WARRANT PRICE.  Following each adjustment of
the Warrant Price, such adjusted Warrant Price shall remain in effect until a
further adjustment of the Warrant Price.

     3.7     ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES.  Upon each adjustment of the
Warrant Price pursuant to this Article III, the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted to the nearest whole share, to the
number obtained by dividing the Aggregate Price by the Warrant Price as
adjusted.

                           TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND LOSS

     4.1     TRANSFER.  This Warrant is transferable on the books of the Company
at its principal office by the registered Holder hereof upon surrender of this
Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with federal and state
securities laws.  The Company shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new
Warrant or Warrants representing the Warrants so transferred.  Upon any partial
transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant or Warrants
with respect to the Warrants not so transferred.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Holder shall not be entitled to transfer a number of shares or an interest in
this Warrant representing less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate shares
initially covered by this Warrant (as presently constituted, with appropriate
adjustment being made in the event of stock splits, combinations,
reorganizations and the like occurring after the issue date hereof).  Any
transferee shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer with respect to
this Warrant as the Purchaser.

     4.2     SECURITIES LAWS.  Upon any issuance of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant, it shall be the Company's responsibility to comply
with the requirements of: (1) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (2) the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (3) any applicable listing
requirements of any national securities exchange; (4) any state securities
regulation or "Blue Sky" laws; and (5) requirements under any other law or
regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares.  If required
by the Company, in connection with each issuance of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will give: (i) assurances in writing,
satisfactory to the Company, that such shares are not being purchased with a
view to the distribution thereof in violation of applicable laws, (ii)
sufficient information, in writing, to enable the Company to rely on exemptions
from the registration or qualification requirements of applicable laws, if
available, with respect to such exercise, and (iii) its cooperation to the
Company in connection with such compliance.

     4.3     EXCHANGE.  This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of
the Company for Warrants which represent, in the aggregate, the Aggregate Price
hereof; each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such portion of the
Aggregate Price as Holder shall designate at the time of such exchange.  Each
new Warrant shall be identical in form and content to this Warrant, except for
appropriate changes in the number of shares of Common Stock covered thereby, the
percentage stated in Section 4.1 above, and any other changes which are

<PAGE>
necessary in order to prevent the Warrant exchange from changing the respective
rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder as they existed immediately
prior to such exchange.

     4.4     LOSS OR MUTILATION.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory to it of the ownership of, and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of, this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft, or destruction) of
indemnity satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new
Warrant.

                                    ARTICLE 5

                                  HOLDER RIGHTS

     5.1     NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS UNTIL EXERCISE. No Holder hereof, solely by
virtue hereof, shall be entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Company.
Holder shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to securities
purchased upon exercise hereof at the time: (i) the cash exercise price for such
securities is delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof and this Warrant is
surrendered, (ii) of delivery of notice of cashless exercise pursuant to Section
2.2 hereof and this Warrant is surrendered, or (iii) of automatic exercise
hereof (even if not surrendered) pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof.

                                    ARTICLE 6

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     6.1     GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. The Company will from time to time take all
action which may be necessary to obtain and keep effective any and all permits,
consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities and securities
acts filings under federal and state laws, which may be or become requisite in
connection with the issuance, sale, and delivery of this Warrant, and the
issuance, sale and delivery of the Common Stock or other securities or property
issuable or deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant.

     6.2     GOVERNING LAWS. IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.
(IRRESPECTIVE OF ITS CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES) SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY OF THIS
WARRANT, THE CONSTRUCTION OF ITS TERMS, AND THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT
OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO.

     6.3     BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  Subject to, and unless
otherwise provided in, this Warrant, each and all of the covenants, terms,
provisions, and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of the permitted successors, executors, heirs, representatives,
administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.

<PAGE>
     6.4     SEVERABILITY. If any one or more provisions of this Warrant, or the
application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Warrant and the application of such
provisions to other persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as best to
reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to
replace any such void or unenforceable provisions of this Warrant with valid and
enforceable provisions which will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provisions.

     6.5     DEFAULT, AMENDMENT AND WAIVERS.  This Warrant may be amended upon
the written consent of the Company and the holders in the aggregate of the right
to purchase a majority of the number of unexercised shares covered by the
Warrant initially issued by the Company pursuant to the Consulting Agreement.
The waiver by a party of any breach hereof for default in payment of any amount
due hereunder or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.
The failure to cure any breach of any term of this Warrant within ten (10) days
of written notice thereof shall constitute an event of default under this
Warrant.

     6.6     NO WAIVER.  The failure of any party to enforce any of the
provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such
party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

     6.7     ATTORNEYS' FEES. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret any
part of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as an
element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys' fees to
be fixed by the court (including without limitation, costs, expenses and fees on
any appeal). The prevailing party shall be the party entitled to recover its
costs of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment. A
party not entitled to recover its costs shall not be entitled to recover
attorneys' fees. No sum for attorneys' fees shall be counted in calculating the
amount of a judgment for purposes of determining if a party is entitled to
recover costs or attorneys' fees.

     6.8     NOTICES. Whenever any party hereto desires or is required to give

                                  CASH EXERCISE

Gentlemen:

The undersigned registered Holder of the Common Stock Warrant delivered herewith
("WARRANT"), hereby irrevocably exercises such Warrant for, and purchases
thereunder, shares of the Common Stock of Appiant Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, as provided below.  Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise
defined herein, shall have the meanings given in the Warrant.  The portion of
the Aggregate Price (as defined in the Warrant) to be applied toward the
purchase of Common Stock pursuant to this Notice of Exercise is $______, thereby
leaving a remainder Aggregate Price (if any) equal to $______.  Such exercise
shall be pursuant to the cash exercise provisions of Section 2.1 of the Warrant.
Therefore, Holder makes payment with this Notice of Exercise by way of check
payable to the Company in the amount of $______.  Such check is payment in full
under the Warrant for shares of Common Stock based upon the Warrant Price of $
per share, as currently in effect under the Warrant.  Holder requests that the
certificates for the purchased shares of Common Stock be issued in the name of
and delivered to "_______________________", _______________________________.  To
the extent the foregoing exercise is for less than the full Aggregate Price, a
Replacement Warrant representing the remainder of the Aggregate Price and
otherwise of like form, tenor and effect should be delivered to Holder along
with the share certificates evidencing the Common Stock issued in response to
this Notice of Exercise.

                                          By:___________________________________
                                                           (NAME)

                                      NOTE

     The execution to the foregoing Notice of Exercise must exactly correspond
to the name of the Holder on the Warrant.
