                          COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

                  1.   ISSUANCE.   In   consideration   of  good  and   valuable
consideration,  the receipt of which is hereby  acknowledged by IQ BIOMETRIX,  a
Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  Platinum  Partners  Macro Fund, LP, or
registered assigns (the "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any
time until 5:00 P.M., Pacific Coast time, on September 19, 2005 (the "Expiration
Date"), One Hundred Sixty Thousand (160,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares
of the Company's Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock") at an
exercise  price of $1.25 per share  (the  "Exercise  Price")  subject to further
adjustment as set forth in Section 6 hereof.

                  2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.  This Warrant is exercisable in whole
or in part for whole shares of the Company's  Common Stock at the Exercise Price
per share of Common Stock payable hereunder,  payable in cash or by certified or
official bank check. Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the annexed
Notice of Exercise  Form duly  executed,  together  with payment of the Exercise
Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased,  the Holder shall be entitled to
receive  a  certificate  or  certificates  for the  shares  of  Common  Stock so
purchased. For the purposes of this Section 2, "Market Value" shall be an amount
equal to the average  closing bid price of a share of Common  Stock for the five
(5) business days immediately  preceding the Company's  receipt of the Notice of
Exercise Form duly executed.

                  3.  RESERVATION  OF SHARES.  The Company hereby agrees that at
all times during the term of this  Warrant  there shall be reserved for issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall
be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares").

of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,  destruction or mutilation of
this  Warrant,  and (in the  case of  loss,  theft or  destruction)  receipt  of
reasonably  satisfactory  indemnification,  and (in the case of mutilation) upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver
a new  Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost,  stolen,  destroyed  or
mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

                  5.  RIGHTS OF THE  HOLDER.  The Holder  shall  not,  by virtue
hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law
or equity,  and the rights of the Holder are limited to those  expressed in this
Warrant and are not  enforceable  against  the Company  except to the extent set
forth herein.

                  6. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE TERMS.

                           If  the  Company  at  any  time  prior  to  the  full
execution of this Warrant shall, by
subdivision,  combination,  merger, spin-off,  re-classification or like capital
adjustment of the  securities,  change any of the  securities to which  purchase
rights under this Warrant exist into the same or different  number of securities
of any class or classes,  this Warrant  shall  thereafter  entitle the Holder to
acquire  such  number and kind of  securities  as would have been  issuable as a
result of such  change with  respect to the  securities  acquirable  immediately
prior to such transaction.  If shares of the securities acquirable upon exercise
of this Warrant are subdivided  into a greater  number of securities,  including
any stock  dividend,  or if such securities are combined into a lesser number of
securities,  then the purchase price for the securities acquirable upon exercise
of this Warrant and the securities  acquirable pursuant to this Warrant shall be
proportionately and equitably adjusted.

                  7. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) This Warrant has not been registered  under the Securities
Act of 1933,  as  amended,  (the  "Act")  and has been  issued to the Holder for
investment and not with a view to the  distribution of either the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares.  Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other
security  issued  or  issuable  upon  exercise  of  this  Warrant  may be  sold,
transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration
statement  under the Act and applicable  state  securities laws relating to such
security,  unless in the opinion of counsel  satisfactory  to the Company,  such
registrations  are not required under the Act. Each certificate for the Warrant,
the Warrant  Shares and any other  security  issued or issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall  contain a legend on the face thereof,  in form and substance
satisfactory  to counsel for the  Company,  setting  forth the  restrictions  on
transfer contained in this Section.

                  (b)  Company  currently  has on file  with the SEC form  SB-2.
Prior to the  effective  date of the SB-2,  the SB-2 shall be amended to provide
that the shares  underlying this warrant,  and each of them, shall be registered
in such filing.

                  (c) At any time  after the  effective  date of the  SB-2,  the
Company  will have the option,  but not the  obligation,  to "Call" this Warrant
should the Company's  closing stock price equal or exceed $3.00 per share at any
time during the term hereof ("Call  Trigger").  If the Call Trigger occurs,  the
Investor  will have ten (10)  business  days to deliver the  necessary  funds to
exercise the warrant.  Upon receipt of the funds,  the Company will issue to the
Investor the corresponding  number of shares from the warrant  exercise.  In the
event of a Call Trigger,  should the Holder fail to deliver  payment  within the
time allotted,  this Warrant shall be  immediately  terminated and of no further
force and effected.

                  (d) Holder hereby covenants and agrees,  on behalf of its self
and its  affiliates  not to short sell,  initiate any short sale or maintain any
short position in the Company or its stock, whether directly or indirectly.

                  (e)  Holder   hereby   covenants  and  agrees  that  upon  the
effectiveness  of the  Registration  Statement  that it will limit its aggregate
daily sales of shares of Common Stock to 5% of the current day's trading  volume
for the shares of Common  Stock on the OTC - Bulletin  Board (or an  exchange if
the  shares  of  Common  Stock or then  trading  on an  exchange).  This  volume
restriction  is expressly  agreed to by Holder in order to preclude  Holder from
engaging in any hedging or other  transaction which is designed to or reasonably
expected to lead to or result in a disposition  of the shares of Common Stock in
excess of said 5% of daily  trading  volume even if said shares of Common  Stock
would be disposed of by someone other than Holder.  Such  prohibited  hedging or
other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale (whether or
not against the "box") or any  purchase,  sale or grant of any right  (including
without  limitation any put or call option) with respect to any shares of Common
Stock or with respect to any security (other than a broad based market basket or
index) that includes,  relates to or derives any  significant  part of its value
from shares of Common  Stock.  Upon  written  request of Company,  Holder  shall
deliver to Company its trading records  reflecting sales of the shares of Common
Stock within three (3) business days of receipt of such  request.  This covenant
contained in this Section  10.1.6 shall only be effective  provided  Company has
obtained a covenant of the same substance and nature from Forte Capital Partners
LLC and The Micek family and their affiliated entities.

                  8.  NOTICES.  Any notice or other  communication  required  or

may be amended or  supplemented  only by an instrument in writing  signed by the
parties  hereto.  This Warrant  contains the full  understanding  of the parties
hereto with  respect to the subject  matter  hereof and thereof and there are no
representations,  warranties,  agreements or understandings other than expressly

                  10.  GOVERNING  LAW.  This  Warrant  shall be  governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California for contracts
to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles
thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Any litigation based thereon, or arising
out of,  under,  or in  connection  with,  this  Warrant  shall be  brought  and
maintained  exclusively  in  the  state  or  Federal  courts  of  the  State  of
California,  sitting  in the City of Los  Angeles.  The  parties  hereto  hereby
expressly and  irrevocably  submit to the  jurisdiction of the state and federal
Courts of the State of California for the purpose of any such  litigation as set
forth above and  irrevocably  agree to be bound by any final  judgment  rendered
thereby in connection  with such  litigation.  The parties  further  irrevocably
consent to the service of process by registered  mail,  postage  prepaid,  or by
personal  service within or without the State of California.  The parties hereby
expressly and  irrevocably  waive,  to the fullest extent  permitted by law, any
objection  which they may have or  hereafter  may have to the laying of venue of
any such  litigation  brought in any such court  referred to above and any claim
that any such  litigation  has been brought in any  inconvenient  forum.  To the
extent that any party  hereto has or  hereafter  may acquire any  immunity  from
jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process  (whether through service or
notice,  attachment  prior  to  judgment,  attachment  in  aid of  execution  or
otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such party hereby irrevocably
waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Warrant.

                      NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                             U.S. HOME & GARDEN INC.
                      ------------------------------------

         AGREEMENT made as of this 8th day of September, 1993, as amended,
between U.S. Home & Garden Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, having
a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, and Robert Kassel
(the "Grantee") residing at 3444 Washington Street, San Francisco, California
94118.

         WHEREAS, the Company has previously granted to the Grantee a
non-qualified option (the "Option") to purchase 100,000 shares of its common
stock, $.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), in consideration of the
Grantee personally guaranteeing certain indebtedness of the Company pursuant to
the Company's prior line of credit with First Interstate Bank of California;

         WHEREAS, certain terms of the Option have previously been modified;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Grantee wish to memorialize the current terms
of the Option in one agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby confirms its grant to the
Grantee of the right and option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of
one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of its Common Stock (the "Shares"), on the
terms and conditions and subject to all the limitations set forth herein.

         2. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price of the Shares covered by the
Option (the "Purchase Price") shall be $1.69 per Share.

         3. EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option represented by this Agreement shall
be exercisable in equal installments on the first day of July of each year with
the first installment commencing on July 1, 1999 and the last installment
commencing on January 1, 2008.

         4. TERM OF OPTION. The Option shall terminate on September 9, 2008.

         5. EXERCISE OF OPTION AND ISSUE OF SHARES. (A) The Option may be
exercised in whole or in part (to the extent that it is exercisable in
accordance with its terms) by giving written notice to the Company, together
with the tender of the purchase price of the Shares covered by the Option. Such
written notice shall be signed by the person exercising the Option, shall state
the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, shall
contain any warranty required by Section 6 below and shall otherwise comply with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all original
issue taxes with respect to the issue of the Shares pursuant hereto and all
other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection
herewith. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Grantee or other holder
of this Option acknowledges that any income or other taxes due from him with
respect to this Option or the Shares issuable pursuant to this Option shall be

<PAGE>

the responsibility of the holder. The holder of this Option shall have rights as
a shareholder only with respect to any Shares covered by the Option after due
exercise of the Option and tender of the full purchase price for the shares
being purchased pursuant to such exercise.

         (B) At any time during the term of the Option specified in Section 4
hereof, the Holder may, at his option, exchange this Option, in whole or in part
(an "Option Exchange"), into the number of Shares determined in accordance with
this Section 5(B), by surrendering this Option at the principal office of the
Company, accompanied by a notice stating such Holder's intent to effect such
exchange, the number of Shares to be exchanged and the date on which the Holder
requests that such Option Exchange occur (the "Notice of Exchange"). The Option
Exchange shall take place on the date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if
later, the date the Notice of Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange
Date"). Certificates for the Shares issuable upon such Option Exchange and, if
applicable, a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the balance of the Shares
remaining subject to this Option, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and
delivered to the Holder within ten (10) days following the Exchange Date. In
connection with any Option Exchange, this Option shall represent the right to
subscribe for and acquire the number of Shares (rounded to the next highest
integer) equal to (i) the number of Shares specified by the Holder in its Notice
of Exchange (the "Total Number") less (ii) the number of Shares equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Total Number and the
existing Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) by (B) the Current Market Value
of a share of Common Stock.

         As used herein, the phrase "Current Market Value" at any date shall be
deemed to be the last reported sale price, or, in the case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale prices for the
last three trading days, in either case as officially reported by the principal
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading
or as reported in the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or National Market System, or, if
the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or National Market System, the
closing bid price as furnished by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. through NASDAQ or similar organization if NASDAQ is no longer
reporting such information, or if none of the foregoing are available, as
determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company,
based on the best information available to it for the two days immediately
preceding such issuance or sale and the day of such issuance or sale.

         6. PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT. Unless the offering and sale of the Shares
to be issued upon the particular exercise of the Option shall have effectively
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter
amended, or any successor legislation (the "Act"), the Company shall be under no
obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the
following conditions have been fulfilled:

                  (a) The person(s) who exercise the Option shall warrant to the
Company, at the time of such exercise that such person(s) are acquiring such
Shares for his or her own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for
sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the
person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the
following legend or a substantially similar legend which shall be endorsed upon

                                       2
<PAGE>

the certificate(s) evidencing their option Shares issued pursuant to such
exercise:

                  "The shares represented by this certificate have not been
                  registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                  "Act"). Such shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise
                  disposed of unless they have first been registered under the
                  Act or, unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
                  Company's counsel, such registration is not required."

                  (b) If it so requests, the Company shall have been advised by
its counsel that the Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise in
compliance with the Act without registration thereunder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company may delay issuance of the Shares until
completion of any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems
necessary under any applicable law (including without limitation state
securities or "blue sky" laws).

         7. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.

                  (a) If the Company shall split, subdivide or combine its
Common Stock, the Purchase Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case
of a split or subdivision or increased in the case of a combination.

                  (b) If the Company shall pay a dividend with respect to the
Common Stock or make any other distribution with respect to the Common Stock,
payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted,
from and after the date of determination of the stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.

         8. RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, ETC. In the case of any reclassification
of the Common Stock or in the 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 the surviving corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification of the Common Stock) or in the case of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the Company, or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a new
option, providing that the holder of this Option shall have the right to
exercise such new option and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Option, the
number and kind of shares of stock other securities, money or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a
holder of shares of the Common Stock with respect to one share of Common Stock.
Such new option shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to that adjustments provided for herein. The
provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations or mergers.

         9. STOCK TO BE RESERVED. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized Common Stock or its treasury shares, solely for

                                       3
<PAGE>

the purpose of issue upon the exercise of this Option as herein provided, such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of
this Option.

Agreement shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt

                      ------------------------------------

         AGREEMENT made as of this 1st day of July, 1994, as amended, between

         WHEREAS, the Company has previously granted to the Grantee a
non-qualified option (`Option") to purchase that number of shares of its common
stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock") as set forth in Section 1
of this Agreement in consideration of services provided to the Company by the
Grantee and the Grantee's assisting the Company in obtaining financing,
including, but not limited to, the Company's sale of shares of its Common Stock
to certain foreign investors and financing in connection with the Company's
acquisition of Easy Gardener, Inc.

         WHEREAS, certain terms of the Option have previously been modified;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Grantee wish to memorialize the current terms
of the Option in one agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby confirms its prior grant to the
Grantee of the right and option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of
one hundred sixty one thousand one hundred and thirty-three (161,133) shares of
its Common Stock (the "Shares")on the terms and conditions and subject to all
the limitations set forth herein.

         2. PURCHASE PRICE. The per share purchase price of the Shares covered
by the Option (the "Purchase Price") shall be $1.69.

         3. EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option represented by this Agreement shall
be exercisable in ten equal installments on June 30 of each year with the first
installment commencing on June 30, 2000, and the last installment commencing on
December 31, 2008.

<PAGE>

         4. TERM OF OPTION. The Option shall terminate on July 1, 2009.

         5. EXERCISE OF OPTION AND ISSUE OF SHARES.

                  (a) The Option may be exercised in whole or in part (to the
extent that it is exercisable in accordance with its terms) by giving written
notice to the Company, together with the tender of the purchase price of the
Shares covered by the Option. Such written notice shall be signed by the person
exercising the Option, shall state the number of Shares with respect to which
the Option is being exercised, shall contain any warranty required by Section 6
below and shall otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Company shall pay all original issue taxes with respect to the
issue of the Shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily
incurred by the Company in connection herewith. Except as specifically set forth
herein, the Grantee or other holder of this Option acknowledges that any income
or other taxes due from him with respect to this Option or the Shares issuable
pursuant to this Option shall be the responsibility of the Grantee or such
holder. The holder of this Option shall have rights as a stockholder of the
Company only with respect to any Shares covered by the Option after due exercise
of the Option and tender of the full purchase price for the Shares being
purchased pursuant to such exercise.

                  (b) At any time prior to the expiration of the term of the
Option specified in Section 4 hereof, the holder of this Option may, at his
option, exchange this Option, in whole or in part (an "Option Exchange ") into
the number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with this
Subsection 5(b), by surrendering this Option at the principal office of the
Company, accompanied by a notice stating such holder's intent to effect such
exchange, the number of Shares to be exchanged and the date on which the holder
requests that such Option Exchange occur (the "Notice of Exchange"). The Option
Exchange shall take place on the date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if
later, the date the Notice of Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange
Date"). Certificates for the Shares issuable upon such Option Exchange and, if
applicable, a new Option of like tenor evidencing the balance of the Shares
remaining subject to this Option, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and
delivered to the holder within ten (10) days following the Exchange Date. In
connection with any Option Exchange, this Option shall represent the right to
subscribe for and acquire the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the
next highest integer) equal to (i) the number of Shares specified by the holder
in its Notice of Exchange (the "Total Number") less (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the
Total Number and the existing Purchase Price by (B) the Current Market Value of
a share of Common Stock.

         As used herein, the phrase "Current Market Value" at any date shall be
deemed to be the last reported sale price, or, in the case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale prices for the
last three trading days, in either case as officially reported by the principal
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading
or as reported in the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or National Market System, or, if

                                       2
<PAGE>

the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or National Market System, the
closing bid price as furnished by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. through NASDAQ or similar organization if NASDAQ is no longer
reporting such information, or if none of the foregoing are available, as
determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company,
based on the best information available to it for the two days immediately
preceding such issuance or sale and the day of such issuance or sale.

         6. PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT. Unless the offering and sale of the Shares
to be issued upon the particular exercise of the Option shall have effectively
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter
amended, or any successor legislation (the "Act"), the Company shall be under no
obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the
following conditions have been fulfilled:

                  (a) The person(s) who exercise the Option shall warrant to the
Company, at the time of such exercise that such person(s) are acquiring such
Shares for it, his or her own account, as the case may be, for investment and
not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such
Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the
provisions of the following legend or a substantially similar legend which shall
be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing their option Shares issued
pursuant to such exercise:

                  "The shares represented by this certificate have not been
                  registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                  "Act"). Such shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise
                  disposed of unless they have first been registered under the
                  Act or, unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
                  Company's counsel, such registration is not required."

                  (b) The Company shall have been advised by its counsel that
the Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise in compliance with the
Act without registration thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company may delay issuance of the Shares until completion of any
action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company reasonably deems necessary
under any applicable law (including without limitation state securities or "blue
sky" laws).

         7. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.

                  (a) If the Company shall split, subdivide or combine its
Common Stock, the Purchase Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case
of a split or subdivision or increased in the case of a combination.

                  (b) If the Company shall pay a dividend with respect to the
Common Stock or make any other distribution with respect to the Common Stock,
payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted,

                                       3
<PAGE>

from and after the date of determination of the stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.

         8. RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, ETC. In the case of any reclassification
of the Common Stock or in the 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 the surviving corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification of the Common Stock) or in the case of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the Company, or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a new
option, providing that the holder of this Option shall have the right to
exercise such new option and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Option, the
number and kind of shares of stock other securities, money or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a
holder of shares of the Common Stock with respect to one share of Common Stock.
Such new option shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to that adjustments provided for herein. The
provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations or mergers.

         9. STOCK TO BE RESERVED. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized Common Stock or its treasury shares, solely for
the purpose of issue upon the exercise of this Option as herein provided, such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of
this Option.

Agreement shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is

<PAGE>

         5. EXERCISE OF OPTION AND ISSUE OF SHARES.

                  (a) The Option may be exercised in whole or in part (to the
extent that it is exercisable in accordance with its terms) by giving written
notice to the Company, together with the tender of the purchase price of the
Shares covered by the Option. Such written notice shall be signed by the person
exercising the Option, shall state the number of Shares with respect to which
the Option is being exercised, shall contain any warranty required by Section 6
below and shall otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Company shall pay all original issue taxes with respect to the
issue of the Shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily
incurred by the Company in connection herewith. Except as specifically set forth
herein, the Grantee or other holder of this Option acknowledges that any income
or other taxes due from him with respect to this Option or the Shares issuable
pursuant to this Option shall be the responsibility of the Grantee or such
holder. The holder of this Option shall have rights as a stockholder of the
Company only with respect to any Shares covered by the Option after due exercise
of the Option and tender of the full purchase price for the Shares being
purchased pursuant to such exercise.

                  (b) At any time prior to the expiration of the term of the
Option specified in Section 4 hereof, the holder of this Option may, at his
option, exchange this Option, in whole or in part (an "Option Exchange ") into

Subsection 5(b), by surrendering this Option at the principal office of the
Company, accompanied by a notice stating such holder's intent to effect such
exchange, the number of Shares to be exchanged and the date on which the holder
requests that such Option Exchange occur (the "Notice of Exchange"). The Option
Exchange shall take place on the date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if
later, the date the Notice of Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange
Date"). Certificates for the Shares issuable upon such Option Exchange and, if
applicable, a new Option of like tenor evidencing the balance of the Shares
remaining subject to this Option, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and
delivered to the holder within ten (10) days following the Exchange Date. In
connection with any Option Exchange, this Option shall represent the right to
subscribe for and acquire the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the
next highest integer) equal to (i) the number of Shares specified by the holder
in its Notice of Exchange (the "Total Number") less (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the
Total Number and the existing Purchase Price by (B) the Current Market Value of
a share of Common Stock.

         As used herein, the phrase "Current Market Value" at any date shall be
deemed to be the last reported sale price, or, in the case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale prices for the
last three trading days, in either case as officially reported by the principal
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading
or as reported in the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or National Market System, or, if
the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or National Market System, the
closing bid price as furnished by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. through NASDAQ or similar organization if NASDAQ is no longer
reporting such information, or if none of the foregoing are available, as

                                       2

determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company,
based on the best information available to it for the two days immediately
preceding such issuance or sale and the day of such issuance or sale.

         6. PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT. Unless the offering and sale of the Shares
to be issued upon the particular exercise of the Option shall have effectively
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter
amended, or any successor legislation (the "Act"), the Company shall be under no
obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the
following conditions have been fulfilled:

                  (a) The person(s) who exercise the Option shall warrant to the
Company, at the time of such exercise that such person(s) are acquiring such
Shares for it, his or her own account, as the case may be, for investment and
not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such
Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the
provisions of the following legend or a substantially similar legend which shall
be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing their option Shares issued

                  registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                  "Act"). Such shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise
                  disposed of unless they have first been registered under the
                  Act or, unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
                  Company's counsel, such registration is not required."

                  (b) The Company shall have been advised by its counsel that
the Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise in compliance with the
Act without registration thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company may delay issuance of the Shares until completion of any
action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company reasonably deems necessary

         7. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.

                  (a) If the Company shall split, subdivide or combine its
Common Stock, the Purchase Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case
of a split or subdivision or increased in the case of a combination.

                  (b) If the Company shall pay a dividend with respect to the
Common Stock or make any other distribution with respect to the Common Stock,
payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted,
from and after the date of determination of the stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.

         8. RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, ETC. In the case of any reclassification
of the Common Stock or in the 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 the surviving corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification of the Common Stock) or in the case of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the Company, or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a new
option, providing that the holder of this Option shall have the right to
exercise such new option and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Option, the
number and kind of shares of stock other securities, money or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a
holder of shares of the Common Stock with respect to one share of Common Stock.
Such new option shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to that adjustments provided for herein. The
provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations or mergers.

         WHEREAS, the Company has previously granted to the Grantee a

         WHEREAS, certain terms of the Option have previously been modified;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Grantee wish to memorialize the current terms
of the Option in one agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby confirms its prior grant to the
Grantee of the right and option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of
two hundred thousand (200,000) shares of its Common Stock (the "Shares")on the
terms and conditions and subject to all the limitations set forth herein.

by the Option (the "Purchase Price") shall be $2.0625.

         3. EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option granted hereby shall be exercisable

<PAGE>

         5. EXERCISE OF OPTION AND ISSUE OF SHARES.

                  (a) The Option may be exercised in whole or in part (to the
extent that it is exercisable in accordance with its terms) by giving written
notice to the Company, together with the tender of the purchase price of the
Shares covered by the Option. Such written notice shall be signed by the person
exercising the Option, shall state the number of Shares with respect to which
the Option is being exercised, shall contain any warranty required by Section 6
below and shall otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Company shall pay all original issue taxes with respect to the
issue of the Shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily
incurred by the Company in connection herewith. Except as specifically set forth
herein, the Grantee or other holder of this Option acknowledges that any income
or other taxes due from him with respect to this Option or the Shares issuable
pursuant to this Option shall be the responsibility of the Grantee or such
holder. The holder of this Option shall have rights as a stockholder of the
Company only with respect to any Shares covered by the Option after due exercise
of the Option and tender of the full purchase price for the Shares being
purchased pursuant to such exercise.

                  (b) At any time prior to the expiration of the term of the
Option specified in Section 4 hereof, the holder of this Option may, at his
option, exchange this Option, in whole or in part (an "Option Exchange ") into
the number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with this
Subsection 5(b), by surrendering this Option at the principal office of the
Company, accompanied by a notice stating such holder's intent to effect such
exchange, the number of Shares to be exchanged and the date on which the holder
requests that such Option Exchange occur (the "Notice of Exchange"). The Option
Exchange shall take place on the date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if
later, the date the Notice of Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange
Date"). Certificates for the Shares issuable upon such Option Exchange and, if
applicable, a new Option of like tenor evidencing the balance of the Shares
remaining subject to this Option, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and
delivered to the holder within ten (10) days following the Exchange Date. In
connection with any Option Exchange, this Option shall represent the right to
subscribe for and acquire the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the
next highest integer) equal to (i) the number of Shares specified by the holder
in its Notice of Exchange (the "Total Number") less (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the
Total Number and the existing Purchase Price by (B) the Current Market Value of
a share of Common Stock.

         As used herein, the phrase "Current Market Value" at any date shall be
deemed to be the last reported sale price, or, in the case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale prices for the
last three trading days, in either case as officially reported by the principal
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading
or as reported in the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or National Market System, or, if
the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or National Market System, the
closing bid price as furnished by the National Association of Securities

                                       2
<PAGE>

Dealers, Inc. through NASDAQ or similar organization if NASDAQ is no longer
reporting such information, or if none of the foregoing are available, as
determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company,
based on the best information available to it for the two days immediately
preceding such issuance or sale and the day of such issuance or sale.

         6. PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT. Unless the offering and sale of the Shares
to be issued upon the particular exercise of the Option shall have effectively
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter
amended, or any successor legislation (the "Act"), the Company shall be under no
obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the
following conditions have been fulfilled:

                  (a) The person(s) who exercise the Option shall warrant to the
Company, at the time of such exercise that such person(s) are acquiring such
Shares for it, his or her own account, as the case may be, for investment and
not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such
Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the
provisions of the following legend or a substantially similar legend which shall
be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing their option Shares issued
pursuant to such exercise:

                  "The shares represented by this certificate have not been
                  registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                  "Act"). Such shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise
                  disposed of unless they have first been registered under the
                  Act or, unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
                  Company's counsel, such registration is not required."

                  (b) The Company shall have been advised by its counsel that
the Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise in compliance with the
Act without registration thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company may delay issuance of the Shares until completion of any
action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company reasonably deems necessary
under any applicable law (including without limitation state securities or "blue
sky" laws).

         7. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.

                  (a) If the Company shall split, subdivide or combine its
Common Stock, the Purchase Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case
of a split or subdivision or increased in the case of a combination.

                  (b) If the Company shall pay a dividend with respect to the
Common Stock or make any other distribution with respect to the Common Stock,
payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted,
from and after the date of determination of the stockholders entitled to receive

                                       3
<PAGE>

such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.

         8. RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, ETC. In the case of any reclassification
of the Common Stock or in the 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 the surviving corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification of the Common Stock) or in the case of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the Company, or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a new
option, providing that the holder of this Option shall have the right to
exercise such new option and upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Option, the
number and kind of shares of stock other securities, money or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a
holder of shares of the Common Stock with respect to one share of Common Stock.
Such new option shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to that adjustments provided for herein. The
provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations or mergers.

         9. STOCK TO BE RESERVED. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized Common Stock or its treasury shares, solely for
the purpose of issue upon the exercise of this Option as herein provided, such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of
this Option.
