THIS STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made effective as
of the 21st day of December  2001 by and among Trimble  Navigation  Limited (the

IN  CONSIDERATION  of the mutual  covenants  contained  in this  Agreement,  the
Company and the Purchasers hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.  PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  the Purchasers  agree to
purchase  severally  and not jointly at the  Closing (as defined  below) and the
Company  agrees to sell and issue to each of the  Purchasers  severally  and not
jointly at the Closing (i) that number of whole shares of the  Company's  common
stock ("Common  Stock") set forth opposite each  Purchaser's  name on Schedule A

$15.00 per Share, and (ii) warrants (the "Warrants") in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A giving the Purchasers the right for five (5) years from the Closing

Shares") and as set forth opposite each  Purchaser's  name on Schedule A hereto,
which is equal to twenty percent (20%) of the number of Shares purchased by such

SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the
Purchasers as follows:

3.1.  ORGANIZATION  AND  QUALIFICATION.  The Company and any of its subsidiaries
("Subsidiaries,"   which  for  purposes  of  this  Agreement  means  any  entity
constituting  greater than 10% of the Company's  consolidated annual revenue and
in which the Company,  directly or  indirectly,  owns 25% or more of the capital
stock or other equity or similar  interests  or owns  capital  stock or holds an
equity or similar interest which ownership  entitles the Company to elect 25% or
more of the board of directors or similar  governing  body of such entity;  such
Subsidiaries are set forth on Schedule B hereto) are corporations,  partnerships
or limited  liability  companies  duly  organized  and validly  existing in good
standing  (to the extent such  concepts  are  applicable)  under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which they are incorporated or organized, and have the requisite
corporate,  limited  liability company or partnership power and authorization to
own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted. Each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign  corporation,
partnership or limited  liability company to do business and is in good standing
(to the extent such concepts are applicable) in every  jurisdiction in which its
ownership of property or the nature of the  business  conducted by it makes such
qualification  necessary,  except  to  the  extent  that  the  failure  to be so
qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material  Adverse  Effect.  As
used in this Agreement,  "Material  Adverse  Effect" means any material  adverse
effect on the business,  properties,  assets, operations, results of operations,
prospects  or  condition  (financial  or  otherwise)  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by
the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith,  or on
the authority or ability of the Company to timely perform its obligations  under
the Transaction Documents (as defined below).

3.2.  AUTHORIZATION,  ENFORCEMENT,  AND VALIDITY.  The Company has the requisite
corporate  power and authority to enter into and perform its  obligations  under
this Agreement,  the Warrants and each of the other  agreements  entered into by
the parties hereto in

                                       2
<PAGE>

connection with the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement  (collectively,
the "Transaction Documents"), and to issue the Securities in accordance with the
terms  hereof  and  thereof.  The  execution  and  delivery  of the  Transaction
Documents  by  the  Company  and  the  consummation  by it of  the  transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including,  without limitation, the issuance of
the  Warrants and the  reservation  for issuance and the issuance of the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants,  have been duly authorized by the
Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization is required
of the Company's Board of Directors or shareholders.  The Transaction  Documents
have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The Transaction  Documents
constitute the valid and binding  obligations of the Company enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by general  principles of equity or applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,
reorganization,   moratorium,  liquidation  or  similar  laws  relating  to,  or
affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies.

3.3. CAPITALIZATION.  As of the date hereof, the authorized stock of the Company
is 40,000,000  shares of Common Stock, of which 24,971,079 are outstanding,  and
3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 65,000 shares have been designated
Series A Participating Preferred Stock and of which none are outstanding. Except
as  disclosed in Schedule C hereto and as provided in this  Agreement,  no party
has any rights to cause the Company to prepare and file a registration statement
for the resale of any Common Stock held by or issuable to such party,  and there
are no outstanding  options,  warrants,  script rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character  whatsoever  relating to, or securities,  rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any person or entity
any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments,  understandings  or  arrangements  by  which  the  Company  or  any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or
securities or rights  convertible or  exchangeable  into shares of Common Stock.
The issue and sale of the  Securities  will not  obligate  the  Company to issue
shares of Common Stock or other  securities  to any person or entity (other than
the  Purchasers)  and  will  not  result  in a right of any  holder  of  Company
securities  to adjust the  exercise,  conversion,  exchange or reset price under
such securities. The offer and sale of the Securities to the Purchasers pursuant
to  this   Agreement   will,   subject  to  the  accuracy  of  the   Purchaser's
representations  set  forth  in  Sections  4.2,  4.3 and 4.4  below,  be made in
accordance  with  the  provisions  and  requirements  of  Section  4(2)  of  the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the  "Securities  Act") or  Regulation  D
promulgated under the Securities Act and any applicable state law.

3.4.  ISSUANCE OF  SECURITIES.  The  Securities  are duly  authorized  and, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of the applicable  Transaction  Documents,
shall be: (i) validly issued,  fully paid and  non-assessable and (ii) free from
all taxes,  liens and charges with respect to the issuance  thereof  (other than
any such  taxes,  liens and  charges  created by any  Purchaser  or  assignee or
transferee),  and shall not be subject  to  preemptive  rights or other  similar
rights of the shareholders of the Company.  As of the Closing,  at least 356,670
shares of Common Stock will have been duly  authorized and reserved for issuance
upon  exercise of the Warrants.  Upon exercise in accordance  with the Warrants,
the Warrant Shares will be validly  issued,  fully paid and  non-assessable  and
free from all taxes,  liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other
than any such taxes,  liens and charges created by any Purchaser or any assignee
or  transferee),  with the holders  being  entitled to all rights  accorded to a
holder of Common Stock.

3.5 NO CONFLICTS.  The execution,  delivery and  performance of the  Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions

                                       3
<PAGE>

contemplated hereby and thereby (including,  without limitation, the reservation
for  issuance  and  issuance  of the  Warrant  Shares)  will not (i) result in a
violation of the Company's  articles of incorporation  or bylaws;  (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or
instrument  to which the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries  is a party (except
for  such  conflicts,   defaults,   terminations,   amendments,   accelerations,
cancellations  and  violations as would not,  individually  or in the aggregate,
have a Material  Adverse  Effect);  or (iii)  result in a violation  of any law,
rule,  regulation,  order,  judgment  or  decree  (including  federal  and state
securities  laws and  regulations  and the rules and  regulations  of the Nasdaq
National  Market)  applicable  to the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries  or by
which any property or asset of the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries  is bound
or  affected.  Neither the Company nor its  Subsidiaries  is in violation of any
term of or in default under its respective articles of incorporation,  bylaws or
other  organizational  charter or  document.  To the  knowledge  of the Company,
neither the Company nor any of its  Subsidiaries  is in violation of any term of
or in default under any contract, agreement, mortgage, indebtedness,  indenture,
instrument,  judgment,  decree  or  order  or any  statute,  rule or  regulation
applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries,  except where such violations and
defaults  would  not  result,  either  individually  or in the  aggregate,  in a
Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not
being  conducted  in  violation  of any  law,  ordinance  or  regulation  of any
governmental  entity,  except  where such  violations  would not result,  either
individually  or in the  aggregate,  in a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  Except as
specifically  contemplated by this  Agreement,  as required under the Securities
Act, and as required by Blue Sky filings,  the Company is not required to obtain
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with,
any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory  agency in
order for it to  execute,  deliver or perform  any of its  obligations  under or
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. All consents, authorizations, orders,
filings and registrations that the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the
preceding  sentence  have  been  obtained  or  effected  on or prior to the date
hereof.  The Company and its Subsidiaries are currently  unaware of any facts or
circumstances  that might give rise to any of the foregoing  events set forth in
this paragraph.  The Company is not in violation of the listing  requirements of
the Nasdaq National Market,  and has no actual knowledge of any facts which with
notice or lapse of time would  reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the
Common  Stock  by  the  Nasdaq  National  Market  either  immediately  or in the
foreseeable future.

3.6. SEC DOCUMENTS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Since January 1, 2001, the Company has
timely filed all  reports,  schedules,  forms,  statements  and other  documents
required to be filed by it with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the
"SEC") pursuant to the reporting  requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (all of the foregoing filed prior to or on
the date hereof and all exhibits  included therein and financial  statements and
schedules  thereto  and  documents   incorporated  by  reference  therein  being
hereinafter  referred  to as the "SEC  Documents").  As of the date of filing of
such  SEC  Documents,  each  such  SEC  Document,  as it may  timely  have  been
subsequently  amended by filings  made by the Company  with the SEC prior to the
date hereof,  complied in all material  respects  with the  requirements  of the
Exchange Act and the rules and  regulations  of the SEC  promulgated  thereunder
applicable to such SEC Document. None of the SEC Documents, as of the date filed
and as they may have been  subsequently  amended by filings  made by the Company
with the SEC prior to the date  hereof,  contained  any  untrue  statement  of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated  therein
or  necessary  in order  to make the  statements  therein,  in the  light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not

                                       4
<PAGE>

misleading.  To the knowledge of the Company,  as of their respective dates, the
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to
form in all  material  respects  with  applicable  accounting  requirements  and
published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.  Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may
be otherwise  indicated in such financial  statements or the notes thereto,  and
(ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude
footnotes or may be condensed or summary  statements)  and fairly present in all
material respects the financial  position of the Company as of the dates thereof
and the  results of its  operations  and cash flows for the  periods  then ended
(subject,  in the  case  of  unaudited  statements,  to  normal  year-end  audit
adjustments).  The  Company is not  required to file and will not be required to
file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered into
prior to the date  hereof  and to which the  Company  is a party or by which the
Company  is bound  which  has not been  previously  filed as an  exhibit  to its
reports  filed with the SEC under the Exchange  Act.  Except as set forth in the
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents filed prior to
the date hereof, the Company has no liabilities,  contingent or otherwise, other
than  (i)  liabilities  incurred  subsequent  to  the  date  of  such  financial
statements and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments  incurred in the
ordinary  course of business and not required under GAAP to be reflected in such
financial statements, which, regarding such liabilities and obligations referred
to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), would individually or in the aggregate
not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.7. ABSENCE OF CERTAIN  CHANGES.  Since the date of the Company's most recently
filed SEC  Document,  there has been no  change or  development  that has had or
could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material  Adverse  Effect.  The  Company  has not taken any steps,  and does not
currently  expect  to  take  any  steps,  to  seek  protection  pursuant  to any
bankruptcy  law  nor  does  the  Company  or any of its  Subsidiaries  have  any
knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary
bankruptcy  proceedings  or  any  actual  knowledge  of  any  fact  which  would
reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

3.8. ABSENCE OF LITIGATION.  Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,  there is
no action,  suit,  proceeding,  inquiry or investigation before or by any court,
public board,  government agency,  self-regulatory  organization or body pending
or, to the  knowledge of the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries,  threatened in
writing  against the Company or any of the Company's  Subsidiaries or any of the
Company's or the  Subsidiaries'  officers or directors  in their  capacities  as
such, that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.9. NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor
any person acting on its or their behalf has,  directly or indirectly,  made any
offers or sales of any  security or  solicited  any offers to buy any  security,
under  circumstances  that would  cause this  offering of the  Securities  to be
integrated  with prior  offerings by the Company for purposes of the  Securities
Act  or any  applicable  shareholder  approval  provisions,  including,  without
limitation,  under  the rules  and  regulations  of any  exchange  or  automated
quotation  system on which any of the  securities  of the  Company are listed or
designated,  nor will the Company or any of its Subsidiaries  take any action or
steps that would cause the  offering of the  Securities  to be  integrated  with
other offerings.

                                       5
<PAGE>

3.10.  INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY RIGHTS.  The Company and its Subsidiaries have the
right to use trademarks, trade names and other rights to copyrights, inventions,
know-how,  patents,  confidential  information and other  intellectual  property
rights necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, except
where the  failure to own,  possess or protect  such  rights  would not,  either
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse  Effect,  and the  Company is not aware of any  infringement  by a third
party with  respect to such rights or any  infringement  by it or conflict  with
asserted  rights of others,  that, in any such case, if determined  adversely to
the Company  could  individually  or in the  aggregate  have a Material  Adverse
Effect.  The Company and its  Subsidiaries  have complied with their  respective
contractual  obligations relating to the protection of any intellectual property
licensed from any third party, except where non-compliance with such obligations
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.11.  APPLICATION  OF  TAKEOVER  PROTECTIONS.  Subject to the  accuracy  of the
representations  and  warranties  of each  Purchaser as set forth in Section 4.8
below, the Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary corporate
action,  if any, in order to render  inapplicable  any  anti-takeover or similar
provision  (including  any  distribution  under a rights  agreement)  under  the
Company's articles of incorporation, other applicable documents, the laws of the
state of its  incorporation  or the laws of any  other  state  which is or could
become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement,  including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the
Securities and the Purchasers' ownership of the Securities.

3.12.  DISCLOSURE.  The Company  confirms  that  neither it nor any other person
acting on its behalf has  provided  any  Purchaser or its agents or counsel with
any  information  that  constitutes  or  might  constitute  material,  nonpublic
information,  and will not provide  such  information  to any  Purchaser  or its
agents or  counsel  unless  such  Purchaser  consents  in  writing in advance to
receive such information.

3.13.  LOCK-UP.  The  Company  agrees  that until such date as the  Registration
Statement (as defined below) is declared  effective by the SEC, the Company will
not register,  file a registration  statement  under the Securities Act, sell or
issue any equity  securities of the Company or other securities that entitle the
holder thereof to receive Common Stock,  including without  limitation any debt,
preferred stock or other  instrument or security that is, at any time during its
life and under any circumstances,  convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock;
provided,  however,  that (i) the  Company  may  register,  file a  registration
statement under the Securities Act, sell or issue any equity securities or other
securities of the Company relating solely to any merger or reorganization of the
Company or to any employee stock option or benefit plan of the Company, and (ii)
the Company may issue any equity  securities or other  securities of the Company
as consideration  for acquisitions of assets or businesses of third parties that
do not, in the aggregate,  exceed ten million dollars  ($10,000,000)  based upon
the then fair market value of such equity securities on the closing date of such
issuance  or sale,  including  but not limited to  issuances  or sales of equity
securities  of the Company  that are  exempted  from  registration  by reason of
qualification  pursuant to Section  3(a)(10) of the Securities  Act. The Company
further agrees that if the Company sells or issues any equity  securities of the
Company  pursuant to an equity line of credit at any time prior to the date that
is one hundred  twenty (120) days after the date the  Registration  Statement is
effective, the Company will not offer such equity securities at a purchase price
per share less than the purchase price per Share  determined in accordance  with
this Agreement.

Each Purchaser hereby severally represents and warrants to, and covenants with,
the Company as follows:

has full right,  power,  authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and
to consummate  the  transactions  contemplated  hereby,  has taken all necessary
action to authorize the  execution,  delivery and  performance of this Agreement
and, if applicable,  such Purchaser is duly organized,  validly  existing and in
good  standing  under  the  laws of its  jurisdiction.  Upon the  execution  and
delivery of this Agreement,  this Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding
obligation of the Purchaser  enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability   may  be   limited   by   applicable   bankruptcy,   insolvency,
reorganization,  moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting
parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as the  indemnification  agreements
of the Purchaser in Section 7 below may be legally unenforceable.

4.2. INVESTMENT  EXPERIENCE.  Such Purchaser is an "accredited  investor" within
the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, is
knowledgeable,  sophisticated  and  experienced  in making,  and is qualified to
make, decisions with respect to investments in shares representing an investment
decision like that involved in the purchase of the Securities.

4.3.  INVESTMENT  INTENT AND  LIMITATION  ON  DISPOSITIONS.  Such  Purchaser  is
acquiring Shares and Warrants for its own account for investment only and has no
present  intention  of  distributing  any of  such  Shares  or  Warrants  or any
arrangement or understanding  with any other persons  regarding the distribution
of such Shares or Warrants.  The  Purchasers  will not,  directly or indirectly,
offer, sell, pledge,  transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to
buy,  purchase or otherwise  acquire or take a pledge of) any of the  Securities
except in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 below.

4.4   INFORMATION AND RISK.

     (a) Such  Purchaser has  requested,  received,  reviewed and considered all
information  such  Purchaser  deems  relevant in making an informed  decision to
purchase the Shares and  Warrants.  Such  Purchaser  has had an  opportunity  to
discuss the  Company's  business,  management  and  financial  affairs  with its
management  and also had an  opportunity  to ask  questions  of  officers of the
Company that were answered to such Purchaser's satisfaction,  provided that such
inquiries  do  not  impair  the  rights  of  the   Purchasers  to  rely  on  the
representations and warranties of the Company as set forth in Section 3 above.

     (b) Such Purchaser recognizes that an investment in the Securities involves
a high  degree  of  risk,  including  a risk of total  loss of such  Purchaser's
investment.

     (c) Such Purchaser  has, in connection  with such  Purchaser's  decision to
purchase  Shares and  Warrants,  not relied  upon any  representations  or other
information (whether oral or

                                       7
<PAGE>

written)  other than as set forth in the  representations  and warranties of the
Company  contained  herein and the SEC  Documents,  and such Purchaser has, with
respect to all matters  relating to this Agreement and the offer and sale of the
Securities, relied solely upon the advice of the Purchaser's own counsel and has
not relied upon or  consulted  any  counsel to Salomon  Smith  Barney Inc.  (the
"Placement Agent") or counsel to the Company.

4.5. DISCLOSURES TO THE COMPANY.  Such Purchaser understands that the Company is
relying on the  statements  contained  herein to  establish  an  exemption  from
registration  under  federal and state  securities  laws.  Such  Purchaser  will
promptly  notify the Company of any changes in the  information set forth in the
Registration Statement regarding such Purchaser.

4.6.  LEGENDS.  Such Purchaser  understands and agrees that each  certificate or
other  document  evidencing  any of the  Securities  shall be endorsed  with the
legend in the form set  forth  below,  and such  Purchaser  covenants  that such
Purchaser  will not  transfer  the shares  represented  by any such  certificate
without  complying  with the  restrictions  on transfer  described in the legend
endorsed on such certificate (unless there is in effect a registration statement
under the Securities Act covering such proposed  transfer,  such securities have
been sold under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") or as
otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 6.3 below) and understands that
the Company  will refuse to  register a transfer  of any  Securities  unless the
conditions specified in the following legend are satisfied:

          THE SHARES  REPRESENTED  BY THIS  CERTIFICATE  HAVE BEEN  ACQUIRED FOR
          INVESTMENT  AND NOT FOR  DISTRIBUTION,  AND HAVE  NOT BEEN  REGISTERED
          UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
          LAWS.  SUCH  SHARES  MAY NOT BE SOLD,  OFFERED  FOR SALE,  PLEDGED  OR
          HYPOTHECATED,   OR   OTHERWISE   TRANSFERRED   IN  THE  ABSENCE  OF  A
          REGISTRATION  STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT  THERETO UNDER SUCH ACT
          UNLESS  SOLD  PURSUANT  TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT OR UNLESS  SUCH  SALE,
          PLEDGE,   HYPOTHECATION   OR   TRANSFER  IS   OTHERWISE   EXEMPT  FROM
          REGISTRATION AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE COMPANY MAY
          REQUEST A WRITTEN  OPINION OF COUNSEL  REASONABLY  SATISFACTORY TO THE
          COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION
          WITH SUCH SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER. THIS CERTIFICATE MUST BE SURRENDERED
          TO THE  CORPORATION OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION  PRECEDENT TO
          THE SALE OR ANY OTHER  TRANSFER  OF ANY  INTEREST IN ANY OF THE SHARES
          REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

          THESE  SECURITIES AND THE  SECURITIES  ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE
          SECURITIES  MAY BE  PLEDGED  IN  CONNECTION  WITH A BONA  FIDE  MARGIN
          ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

Such  certificates  shall not be  required  to contain  such  legend (i) while a
Registration Statement (as defined below) covering the resale of such Securities
is  effective  under  the  Securities  Act,  (ii)  following  any  sale  of such
Securities  pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such  Securities  are eligible for
sale  under  Rule  144(k).  Following  the  effective  date of the  Registration
Statement or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer  required for certain
Securities,  the Company will,  no later than three  trading days  following the
delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company's

                                       8
<PAGE>

transfer agent of a legended certificate  representing such securities,  deliver
or cause to be  delivered  to such  Purchaser a  certificate  representing  such
securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

Such  Purchaser  covenants  that such  Purchaser will not transfer the Shares or
Warrant Shares  represented by any such certificate  without  complying with any
applicable requirements under the Securities Act to deliver the final prospectus
included in the effective  Registration  Statement to any offeree of such Shares
or Warrant Shares.  Such Purchaser agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify
and hold  harmless  the Company  from and against all claims,  losses,  damages,
costs and expenses arising out of any failure to deliver such final prospectus.

The  Company  acknowledges  and agrees  that a  Purchaser  may from time to time
pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement or grant a security  interest in
some  or all of the  Securities  and,  if  required  under  the  terms  of  such
arrangement,  such Purchaser may transfer  pledged or secured  Securities to the
pledgees or secured  parties.  Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to
approval of the Company and no legal  opinion of the pledgee,  secured  party or
pledgor shall be required in connection therewith, unless the Company's transfer
agent requires a legal opinion to issue a certificate in the name of the pledgee
or secured  party.  Further,  no notice  shall be required of such  pledge.  The
Company will execute and deliver such reasonable  documentation  as a pledgee or
secured party of Securities may reasonably  request in connection  with a pledge
or transfer  of the  Securities,  including  the  preparation  and filing of any
required  prospectus  supplement  under Rule  424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list
of selling shareholders thereunder.

The  Company  acknowledges  and agrees that no  Purchaser  makes or has made any
representations  or warranties with respect to the transactions  contemplated by
this Agreement other than those specifically set forth in this Section 4.

4.7.  NATURE  OF  PURCHASERS.  Except as set forth in  Schedule  A hereto,  such
Purchaser:  (i) is not an  affiliate  (as such term is defined  pursuant to Rule
12b-2  promulgated  under the Exchange Act) of any other Purchaser,  (ii) is not
constituted as as a partnership, association, joint venture or any other type of
joint entity with any other Purchaser,  and (iii) is in no way acting as a group
(as such term is defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with any other
Purchaser.  If at any time  after the  Closing  Date such  Purchaser  becomes an
affiliate  (as  defined  herein) of any other  Purchaser,  such  Purchaser  will
provide prompt written notice to the Company.

4.8.  OWNERSHIP.  Such Purchaser  (including  any person or entity  controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with such  Purchaser)  does not, and upon
the  consummation of the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement will not,
hold voting  securities  of the Company  equal to or exceeding (i) the aggregate
fair market value as of the Closing Date of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000),
calculated pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
as amended,  and its  implementing  regulations (the "HSR Act"), or (ii) fifteen
percent

                                       9
<PAGE>

(15%) of the  outstanding  Common Stock as of the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding
any other  provision of this  Agreement or the Warrant to the contrary,  if such
Purchaser  (including any person or entity controlling,  controlled by, or under
common  control  with such  Purchaser)  will,  upon any exercise of the Warrant,
beneficially own voting  securities of the Company equal to or exceeding (i) the
aggregate fair market value of fifty million dollars  ($50,000,000),  calculated
pursuant to the HSR Act and as determined as of the date such exercise,  or (ii)
fifteen  percent  (15%) of the  outstanding  Common Stock as of the date of such
exercise,  then such  Purchaser  will provide  reasonable  written notice to the
Company and such  Purchaser  agrees that the Company may restrict  such exercise
until the waiting  period  required  pursuant to the HSR Act has expired or been
early terminated.

SECTION 5.  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.

Notwithstanding  any investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by the
Placement Agent, all covenants, agreements,  representations and warranties made
by the Company and the  Purchasers  herein shall survive for a period of one (1)
year following the Closing Date.

SECTION 6.  REGISTRATION OF THE SHARES; COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

6.1.REGISTRATION  PROCEDURES AND EXPENSES.  Except for such times as the Company
may be  required  to  suspend  the  use of a  prospectus  forming  a part of the
Registration Statement, the Company will:

     (a) as soon as  practicable,  but in no event  later than  thirty (30) days
following the Closing Date, use commercially  reasonable  efforts to prepare and
file  with the SEC a  registration  statement  on Form  S-3  (the  "Registration
Statement")  covering  the  resale of the Shares  and at least  356,670  Warrant
Shares by the  Purchaser  and which shall  contain the Plan of  Distribution  as
attached hereto as Exhibit D;

     (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement
to become effective under the Securities Act no later than sixty (60) days after
the Closing Date, if the  Registration  Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, or
no later  than one  hundred  ten (110)  days  after  the  Closing  Date,  if the
Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC;

     (c) prepare and file with the SEC such  amendments  and  supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep the Registration  Statement  continuously  effective until the
earliest of (i) the second  anniversary  of the Closing  Date,  (ii) the date on
which the  Purchaser  may sell all  Shares  then held by the  Purchaser  and all
Warrant Shares  purchasable by Purchaser without volume  limitations and without
registration by reason of Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect, or (iii)
such time as all Shares and Warrant Shares purchased by the Purchasers have been
sold;

     (d) so long as the Registration  Statement is effective covering the resale
of Shares and Warrant Shares owned by the Purchasers,  furnish to the Purchasers
with respect to the Shares and Warrant Shares  registered under the Registration
Statement  (and to each  underwriter,  if any, of such Shares)  such  reasonable
number of copies of  prospectuses  and such other documents as the Purchaser may
reasonably  request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition
of all or any of the  Shares and  Warrant  Shares by the  Purchasers;  provided,
however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver copies of prospectuses to
the  Purchasers  shall be subject to the  receipt by the  Company of  reasonable
assurances  from  the  Purchasers  that  the  Purchasers  will  comply  with the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and of such other securities laws as
may be applicable in connection with any use of such prospectuses;

                                       10
<PAGE>

     (e) use commercially  reasonable  efforts to file documents required of the
Company  for normal Blue Sky  clearance  in states  specified  in writing by the
Purchasers; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify
to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which the
Company is not now so qualified or has not so consented; and

     (f) bear all expenses in connection  with the  procedures in paragraphs (a)
through (e) of this Section 6.1 and the  registration  of the Shares and Warrant
Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement,  other than fees and expenses, if
any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchasers or  underwriting  discounts,
brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchasers, if any.

6.2 DELAY IN  EFFECTIVENESS  OF  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT.  In the event that the
Registration  Statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the date that is
one hundred ten (110) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall pay to each
Purchaser  liquidated  damages in a cash amount  equal to  one-thirtieth  of one
percent (1/30 of 1%) of the total purchase price of the Shares purchased by such
Purchaser  pursuant  to this  Agreement  for  each  day  that  the  Registration
Statement  is not  declared  effective  by the SEC  after  the date  that is one
hundred ten (110) days after the Closing Date.

6.3. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY.

     (a) Each  Purchaser  agrees that it will not effect any  disposition of the
Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act
or pursuant  to any  applicable  state  securities  or Blue Sky laws,  except as
contemplated in the Registration  Statement  referred to in Section 6.1 above or
pursuant to: (i) a written opinion of legal counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to
the Company and addressed to the Company to the effect that  registration is not
required in connection with the proposed  transfer;  (ii) Rule 144A  promulgated
under the  Securities  Act;  or (iii) a  "no-action"  letter from the SEC to the
effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result
in a  recommendation  by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with  respect
thereto,  whereupon the holder of such securities  shall be entitled to transfer
such  securities  in  accordance  with the terms of the notice  delivered by the
holder to the Company.  Each certificate,  warrant or other security  evidencing
the  securities  transferred  as  above  provided  shall  bear  the  appropriate
restrictive legends set forth in Section 4.6.

     (b) Each Purchaser  acknowledges  that there may occasionally be times when
the  Company  must  suspend  the  use of the  prospectus  forming  a part of the
Registration  Statement  until such time as an  amendment or  supplement  to the
Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective,  or
until such time as the  Company  has filed an  appropriate  report  with the SEC
pursuant  to the  Exchange  Act.  Each  Purchaser  hereby  covenants  that  such
Purchaser will not sell any Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to said prospectus
during  the  period  commencing  at the  time at which  the  Company  gives  the
Purchasers  written notice of the  suspension of the use of said  prospectus and
ending at the time the  Company  gives the  Purchasers  written  notice that the
Purchasers   may   thereafter   effect  sales   pursuant  to  said   prospectus.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the Company  will not suspend  such use of the
prospectus  for  reason  of  the  occurrence  of  any  non-material  events,  as
determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors.  In the event that
the  Purchasers  are  prohibited  for any reason from selling  Shares or Warrant
Shares in excess of thirty (30)  business days but less than sixty (60) business
days in any three hundred  sixty-five  (365) day period,  the Company  agrees as

                                       11
<PAGE>

liquidated  damages (until the  Expiration  Date, as such term is defined in the
Section 1.1 of the Warrant) to increase the number of shares  purchasable  under
the  Warrants  by a number of  Warrant  Shares  (collectively,  the  "Additional
Warrant Shares") which is equal to: (i)  one-thirtieth of two point five percent
(1/30th of 2.5%) of the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable times (ii) the
total number of calendar  days over such thirty (30) business day limit but less
than sixty (60) business days (such last business day, a "Target Date"), rounded
to the nearest whole share. In the event that the Purchasers are prohibited from
selling  Shares or Warrant  Shares in excess of sixty (60)  business days in any
three  hundred  sixty five (365) day  period,  then,  in  addition  to any other
remedies  available  under this Agreement and applicable  law, the Company shall
pay to each Purchaser liquidated damages in a cash amount which is equal to: (i)
one-thirtieth  of one percent  (1/30 of 1%) of the total  purchase  price of the
Shares  purchased  by  such  Purchaser  pursuant  to  this  Agreement  and  then
beneficially  owned by such  Purchaser,  (ii) times the number of calendar  days
over such sixty (60)  business  day limit.  On each  Target  Date (if any),  the
Company will file with the SEC a new registration  statement covering the resale
of the Additional Warrant Shares. Such registration  statement shall be included
within the  definition  of  "Registration  Statement"  and,  with respect to the
Additional  Warrant Shares, the holders of the Warrants shall be entitled to all
of the rights and obligations  under Sections 6 and 7 with respect to the Shares
and Warrant  Shares  (including,  but not limited to, the receipt of  liquidated
damages  pursuant  to  Sections  6.2 and  6.3(b) (it being  understood  that for
purposes  of this  sentence,  "Closing  Date"  shall be  replaced  with  "Target
Date")).

     (c) None of the Securities shall be transferable except upon the conditions
specified in this Section 6, which are  intended to ensure  compliance  with the
provisions  of the  Securities  Act.  Each  Purchaser  will  cause any  proposed
transferee of the  Securities  held by such  Purchaser to agree to take and hold
such Securities  subject to the provisions and upon the conditions  specified in
this  Section  6 if  and to the  extent  that  such  Securities  continue  to be
restricted securities in the hands of the transferee.

6.4. TERMINATION OF CONDITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS. The conditions precedent imposed
by Section 6.3 above  regarding  the  transferability  of the Shares and Warrant
Shares shall cease and  terminate as to any  particular  number of the Shares or
Warrant  Shares upon the date on which the  Purchaser  may sell  without  volume
limitations all such Shares or Warrant Shares then held by the Purchaser without
registration by reason of Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect.

6.5. THIRD PARTY REGISTRATION  RIGHTS.  The Purchasers  acknowledge the existing
registration  rights of John  Hancock  Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company and John
Hancock Life Insurance  Company pursuant to a Warrant  Purchase  Agreement dated
June 13, 1994,  for an aggregate of 400,000  shares of Common Stock,  and hereby
expressly  agree to the inclusion of any or all such shares in any  Registration
Statement or amendment thereto.

SECTION 7.  INDEMNIFICATION.

     (a) For purposes of this Section 7:

        (i) the term "Purchaser"  shall include the Purchaser and any affiliate
(as such term is defined pursuant to Rule 12b-2  promulgated under the Exchange
Act) of such Purchaser;

                                       12
<PAGE>

        (ii) the term  "Prospectus"  shall mean the prospectus and any amendment
or supplement  thereto in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule
424(b) promulgated  under the  Securities Act or, if no Rule 424(b) filing is
required, filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of
effectiveness; and

       (iii) the term "Registration Statement" shall include any final
prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the
Registration Statement.

     (b)  The  Company  agrees  to  indemnify  and  hold  harmless  each  of the
Purchasers  and each  person,  if any, who  controls  any  Purchaser  within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages,  liabilities
or expenses,  joint or several,  to which such  Purchasers  or such  controlling
person may become  subject,  under the Securities  Act, the Exchange Act, or any
other  federal  or  state  statutory  law or  regulation,  or at  common  law or
otherwise  (including  in settlement of any  litigation,  if such  settlement is
effected  with the  written  consent of the  Company),  insofar as such  losses,
claims,  damages,  liabilities  or expenses  (or  actions in respect  thereof as
contemplated  below)  arise out of or are based  upon any  untrue  statement  or
alleged  untrue  statement of any material  fact  contained in the  Registration
Statement  or  Prospectus,  or arise out of or are based  upon the  omission  or
alleged  omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements  therein,  in light of the  circumstances in
which they were made, not  misleading,  or arise out of or are based in whole or
in part on any inaccuracy in the  representations  and warranties of the Company
contained  in this  Agreement,  or any  failure of the  Company  to perform  its
obligations  hereunder,   and  will  reimburse  each  Purchaser  and  each  such
controlling person for any legal and other expenses  reasonably incurred as such
expenses are reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or such controlling person in
connection with investigating,  defending, settling,  compromising or paying any
such loss, claim, damage, liability,  expense or action; provided, however, that
the  Company  will not be liable in any such  case to the  extent  that any such
loss, claim, damage,  liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an
untrue  statement or alleged  untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission
made in the  Registration  Statement  or  Prospectus  in  reliance  upon  and in
conformity with written information  furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
the Purchaser  expressly for use therein,  (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to
comply  with the  covenants  and  agreements  contained  in  Section  6.3  above
respecting sale of the Securities,  (iii) the inaccuracy of any  representations
made by  such  Purchaser  herein  or  (iv)  any  statement  or  omission  in any
Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent  Prospectus that was delivered to
the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.

     (c) Each Purchaser will severally  indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
each  of its  directors,  each  of its  officers  who  signed  the  Registration
Statement and each person,  if any, who controls the Company  within the meaning
of the  Securities  Act,  against any losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities or
expenses to which the Company,  each of its directors,  each of its officers who
signed the  Registration  Statement or  controlling  person may become  subject,
under the  Securities  Act,  the  Exchange  Act,  or any other  federal or state
statutory  law or  regulation,  or at  common  law or  otherwise  (including  in
settlement of any  litigation,  if such  settlement is effected with the written
consent of such Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages,  liabilities
or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as  contemplated  below) arise out of
or are based upon (i) any failure by such Purchaser to comply with the covenants
and  agreements  contained  in  Sections  6.3 above  respecting  the sale of the
Securities,  (ii) the  inaccuracy of any  representation  made by such Purchaser
herein or (iii) any untrue or alleged  untrue  statement  of any  material  fact
contained in the  Registration  Statement or the Prospectus,  or the omission or
alleged omission to

                                       13
<PAGE>

state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading,  in each case to the extent,  but only to the extent,  that such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was
made in the  Registration  Statement  or  Prospectus  in  reliance  upon  and in
conformity with written information  furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such Purchaser expressly for use therein,  and will reimburse the Company,  each
of its directors,  each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or
controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred,  as such
expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors,  each of
its officers who signed the  Registration  Statement  or  controlling  person in
connection with investigating,  defending, settling,  compromising or paying any
such loss, claim, damage, liability,  expense or action; provided, however, that
in no event will any Purchaser be required to reimburse the Company in excess of
an amount equal to the  consideration  paid by such  Purchaser to the Company on
the Closing Date.

     (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified  party under this Section 7 of
notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying  party under
this Section 7, promptly notify the indemnifying  party in writing thereof,  but
the  omission so to notify the  indemnifying  party will not relieve it from any
liability  which  it may  have to any  indemnified  party  for  contribution  or
otherwise to the extent it is not  prejudiced  as a result of such  failure.  In
case  any  such  action  is  brought  against  any  indemnified  party  and such
indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party,
the  indemnifying  party will be entitled to participate  in, and, to the extent
that  it may  wish,  jointly  with  all  other  indemnifying  parties  similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably  satisfactory to
such indemnified party; provided,  however, if the defendants in any such action
include  both  the  indemnified  party  and  the  indemnifying   party  and  the
indemnified  party shall have reasonably  concluded that there may be a conflict
between the positions of the  indemnifying  party and the  indemnified  party in
conducting  the defense of any such  action or that there may be legal  defenses
available to it and/or other  indemnified  parties which are  different  from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying  party, the indemnified  party
or parties shall have the right to select separate  counsel to assume such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of
such indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying
party to such  indemnified  party of its  election to assume the defense of such
action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel,  the indemnifying party
will not be liable to such indemnified  party under this Section 7 for any legal
or other expenses  subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense  thereof unless (i) the  indemnified  party shall have employed
such counsel in connection  with the  assumption of legal defenses in accordance
with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood,  however,  that
the  indemnifying  party  shall not be liable for the  expenses of more than one
separate   counsel,   reasonably   satisfactory  to  the   indemnifying   party,
representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the
indemnified party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified  party to represent the  indemnified  party within a reasonable time
after notice of  commencement  of action,  in each of which cases the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

SECTION 9.  MISCELLANEOUS.

9.1. AMENDMENTS. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of
any term of this  Agreement may be waived  (either  generally or in a particular
instance  and  either  retroactively  or  prospectively)  only with the  written
consent of the Company and each  Purchaser.  Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance  with  this  paragraph  shall be  binding  upon  each  holder  of any
securities  purchased  under this Agreement at the time  outstanding  (including
securities  into which such securities are  convertible),  each future holder of

<PAGE>

9.3. SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any provision in this Agreement is held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,  legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.

9.4.  GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance  with the laws of the State of New York,  without giving effect to
any choice of law provisions  thereof,  and the federal law of the United States
of America. The parties hereto agree to submit to the exclusive  jurisdiction of

interpretation  of this  Agreement or for the purposes of any action arising out
of or related to this Agreement.

9.5.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall  constitute  an original,  and all of which  together  shall

page were an original hereof.

of each Purchaser under any Transaction  Document are several and not joint with
the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in
any way for the  performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any
Transaction  Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document,
and no  action  taken by any  Purchaser  pursuant  thereto,  shall be  deemed to

                               WARRANT TO PURCHASE
                      __________ SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF
                           TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED

No. W2001-___

     FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of which  is  hereby
acknowledged,  this  warrant has been issued by Trimble  Navigation  Limited,  a
California  corporation  (the  "Company") to  ______________  (the  "Purchaser")
pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock and Warrant  Purchase
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Purchase  Agreement").  This warrant
certifies that Purchaser and its nominees or assigns hereunder (the "Holder") is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to ______________ (________) fully paid
and nonassessable  shares of the Company's common stock ("Common  Stock"),  at a
price of $19.475 per share (which is 125% of the "Fair Market  Value" of a share
of Common Stock, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, hereinafter the "Exercise
Price"),  at any  time or  from  time to  time  up to and  including  5:00  p.m.
(California  time)  on  the  Expiration  Date  (as  hereinafter  defined),  upon
surrender  to the  Company at its  principal  office at 645 North  Mary  Avenue,
Sunnyvale, California 94088 (or at such other location as the Company may advise
the  Holder in  writing)  of this  Warrant  properly  endorsed  with the Form of
Subscription  attached  as Exhibit A hereto  duly  filled in and signed and upon
payment, in any manner set forth herein, of the aggregate Exercise Price for the
number of  shares  for which  this  Warrant  is being  exercised  determined  in
accordance  with the  provisions  hereof.  The Exercise  Price and the number of
shares  purchasable   hereunder  are  subject  to  additional   adjustments  and
limitations as provided in Section 4 of this Warrant.

                                       21
<PAGE>

  This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

  1. Exercise.
     ---------

     1.1  Issuance  of  Certificates;   Payment  for  Shares.  This  Warrant  is
exercisable  only by the  Holder of record  hereof,  at any time or from time to
time,  in whole or in part,  until 5:00 p.m.,  California  time, on December 19,
2006 (the "Expiration Date"). The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock
purchased  under this Warrant  shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof
as the record  owner of such  shares as of the close of  business on the date on
which  this  Warrant  shall  have  been  properly   surrendered   for  exercise.
Certificates  for the shares of Common  Stock so  purchased,  together  with any
other  securities  or property to which the Holder  hereof is entitled upon such
exercise,  shall be  delivered,  free of any  legends  except as provided in the
Purchase Agreement, to the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company's expense
as soon as practicable  but, in any event,  within three (3) trading days, after
the rights  represented  by this Warrant have been so exercised.  In case of the
purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased  under this Warrant,
the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon its surrender and execute and deliver
a new  Warrant  or  Warrants  of  like  tenor  for  the  balance  of the  shares
purchasable  under the  Warrant  surrendered  upon such  purchase  to the Holder
hereof as soon as practicable  but within said three (3) day period.  Each stock
certificate so delivered shall be in such  denominations  of Common Stock as may
be requested by the Holder  hereof and shall be  registered  in the name of such
Holder or such other name as shall be designated by such Holder,  subject to the
limitations contained in Section 10.

     1.2 Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Company  fails  to  deliver  to  the  Holder  a  certificate   or   certificates
representing  the shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon exercise of the Warrant
(the "Warrant Stock") pursuant to an exercise by the third trading day after the
date of exercise,  and if after such third trading day the Holder  purchases (in
an open market  transaction  or otherwise)  shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction  of a sale by the  Holder of the  Warrant  Stock  which the  Holder
anticipated  receiving  upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"),  then the Company shall
(i) pay in cash to the  Holder  the  amount  by  which  (x) the  Holder's  total
purchase  price  (including  brokerage  commissions,  if any) for the  shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of Warrant  Stock that the Company was  required to deliver to the Holder
in  connection  with the  exercise  at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the
Common  Stock  at the  time of the  obligation  giving  rise  to  such  purchase
obligation  and (ii) at the option of the Holder,  reinstate  the portion of the
Warrant and  equivalent  number of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not
honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been issued had the Company timely  complied with its exercise and delivery
obligations  hereunder.  The Holder  shall  provide the Company  written  notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

     2. Shares to be Fully Paid;  Reservation of Shares.  The Company  covenants
and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise
of the  rights  represented  by  this  Warrant  shall,  upon  issuance,  be duly
authorized,  validly  issued,  fully  paid and  nonassessable  and free from all
preemptive  rights of any shareholder  and free of all taxes,  liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that
during the period

                                       22
<PAGE>

within which the rights  represented by this Warrant may be exercised,  the
Company  shall at all times have  authorized  and  reserved,  for the purpose of
issue or transfer  upon  exercise of the rights  evidenced  by this  Warrant,  a
sufficient  number of shares of authorized but unissued  Common Stock,  or other
securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the
rights  represented  by this Warrant.  The Company shall take all such action as
may be  necessary  to assure that such  shares of Common  Stock may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may
be listed.  The  Company  shall not take any action  which  would  result in any
adjustment  (pursuant  to Section 4 hereof) of the  Exercise  Price if the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable  after such action,  together with all
shares of Common Stock then  outstanding  and then issuable upon exercise of all
options  and all  similar  rights  and upon the  conversion  of all  convertible
securities  then  outstanding  would exceed the total number of shares of Common
Stock then authorized by the Company's  articles of incorporation.

  3. Exercise.
     ---------

     3.1 Payment of Exercise  Price.  Payment of the Exercise Price may be made,
at the option of the Holder, (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by canceling all or a
portion of any indebtedness of the Company to the Holder,  in an amount equal to
the aggregate  Exercise  Price of the shares of Common Stock then being acquired
by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant,  (iii) by a combination of cash and
cancellation of such  indebtedness,  or (iv) by electing a net issue exercise in
the manner  described in Section 3.2 below.

     3.2 Net Issue  Exercise.  In lieu of exercising  this Warrant by payment of
the  Exercise  Price  pursuant  to Section  3.1  above,  the Holder may elect to
convert this Warrant (the  "Conversion  Right"),  in whole or in part,  into the
number of shares of Common Stock calculated  pursuant to the following  formula,
by surrendering this Warrant and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Holder desires to convert:

                            X = Y (A - B)
                                ---------
                                     A

          where:            X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be
                                issued to the Holder;

                            Y    = the number of shares of Common Stock
                                 subject to this Warrant for which the
                                 Conversion Right is being exercised;

                            A = the fair market value of one share of Common
                                Stock; and

                            B = the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

     As used  herein,  the fair market  value of one share of Common Stock shall
mean the closing price per share of the Company's  Common Stock on the principal
securities  exchange  on which the Common  Stock is then  listed or  admitted to
trading or, if not then listed or admitted to trading on any such  exchange,  on
the NASDAQ National Market System, or if not then listed or traded on the NASDAQ
National  Market  System,  the  average of the bid and offer  price per share on
NASDAQ,  in

                                       23
<PAGE>

each case  averaged  over the ten (10) trading days  consisting  of the day
preceding  the  date  upon  which  the  Warrant  is  exercised  and the nine (9)
consecutive  trading  days prior to such day. If at any time the Common Stock is
not listed or traded on any exchange or system, the current fair market value of
a share of Common  Stock shall be the price per share  which the  Company  could
obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee, consultant or director) for
shares of Common Stock sold by the Company,  as  determined in good faith by the
Company's board of directors.  Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,  if the
Company  shall become a party to a merger,  acquisition  or other  consolidation
pursuant  to which the Company is not the  surviving  entity,  the current  fair
market value of a share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the value received
by the holders of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to such transaction.

     In the event of any conversion of this Warrant, certificates for the shares
of stock so converted  shall be  delivered to the Holder as soon as  practicable
but, in any event, within three (3) days thereafter and, unless this Warrant has
been fully converted or has expired,  a new Warrant  representing the portion of
the  shares,  if any,  with  respect to which this  Warrant  shall not have been
converted,  shall also be issued to the Holder as soon as practicable but within
such three (3) day period.

     4.  Adjustment of Exercise  Price and Number of Shares.  The Exercise Price
and/or the  number  and kind of shares  purchasable  upon the  exercise  of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment  from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 4.

     4.1  Subdivision or Combination of Stock.  In case the Company shall at any
time subdivide its  outstanding  shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares,  the number of shares  purchasable  hereunder  shall be  proportionately
increased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares
of Common  Stock of the  Company  shall be  combined  into a  smaller  number of
shares,  the number of shares  purchasable  hereunder  shall be  proportionately
reduced and the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior to such combination
shall be proportionately increased.

     4.2 Dividends or Distributions  in Common Stock,  Other Stock, or Property.
If at any time or from time to time the  holders of Common  Stock (or any shares
of capital stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment
therefore,

     (a) Common  Stock or any shares of stock or other  securities  which are at
any time  directly or indirectly  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for Common
Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for,  purchase or otherwise acquire
any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

     (b) any cash paid or  payable  otherwise  than as a regular  periodic  cash
dividend at a rate which is substantially  consistent with past practice (or, in
the case of an initial  dividend,  at a rate which is  substantially  consistent
with industry practice), or

     (c) Common Stock or other or additional  capital stock or other  securities
or property (including cash) by way of spin-off,  split-up, or similar corporate
distribution  (other  than

                                       24
<PAGE>

shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split,  adjustments  in respect of
which shall be covered by the terms of Section 4.1 above),

then and in each such case,  the Holder hereof shall,  upon the exercise of
this  Warrant,  be entitled  to receive,  in addition to the number of shares of
Common  Stock  receivable  thereupon,  and  without  payment  of any  additional
consideration  thereof,  the amount of stock and other  securities  and property
(including  cash in the cases  referred to in clauses  (b) and (c) above)  which
such Holder  would hold on the date of such  exercise  had it been the holder of
record of such  Common  Stock as of the date on which  holders  of Common  Stock
received or became  entitled to receive such shares and/or all other  additional
capital stock and other securities and property.

     4.3 Reorganization,  Reclassification,  Consolidation or Merger. If, at any
time while this Warrant is  outstanding,  (i) the Company  effects any merger or
consolidation  of the  Company  with or into  another  entity,  (ii) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of
related  transactions,  (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another  entity) is  completed  pursuant  to which  holders of Common
Stock are  permitted to tender or exchange  their  shares for other  securities,
cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any  compulsory  share  exchange  pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively  converted into or exchanged for other securities,  cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"),  then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive,  upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of  securities,  cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental  Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Stock
then  issuable   upon   exercise  in  full  of  this  Warrant  (the   "Alternate
Consideration").  The  aggregate  Exercise  Price for this  Warrant  will not be
affected by any such  Fundamental  Transaction,  but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate  Consideration in a reasonable
manner  reflecting  the  relative  value  of  any  different  components  of the
Alternate  Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the  securities,  cash or property to be received in a Fundamental  Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it  receives  upon any  exercise  of this  Warrant  following  such  Fundamental
Transaction.  At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental  Transaction  shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent  with the foregoing  provisions  and evidencing the Holder's right to
purchase the  Alternate  Consideration  for the  aggregate  Exercise  Price upon
exercise  thereof.  The terms of any  agreement  pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction  is effected  shall  include terms  requiring any such  successor or
surviving  entity  to  comply  with the  provisions  of this  paragraph  (c) and
ensuring that the Warrant (or any such  replacement  security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental  Transaction constitutes or results in a change of control of
the  Company,  then at the request of the Holder  delivered  before the 90th day
after such  Fundamental  Transaction,  the  Company  (or any such  successor  or
surviving  entity)  will  purchase  the  Warrant  from the Holder for a purchase
price,  payable in cash  within five  trading  days after such  request  (or, if
later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the value
of the Warrant on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction,  determined
using a Black  Scholes  valuation  model  and  assumptions  reasonably  mutually
acceptable  to the  Company  and  Holder,  provided  that for  purposes  of such
calculation,  the market  price of the Common  Stock  shall be the higher of the
closing price on trading day immediately  preceeding or the

                                       25
<PAGE>

closing  price  on  the  trading  day  immediately   following  the  public
announcement  of  such  Fundamental  Transaction,  and  in  no  event  will  the
volatility  factor be greater  than fifty  percent  (50%).  For purposes of this
Section 4.3, "change of control" means a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or a  consolidation  or merger of the Company into or with
any entity or entities  after which the holders of capital  stock of the Company
hold  less  than  fifty  percent  (50%)  of  the  aggregate  outstanding  voting
securities of the surviving entity.

     4.4 Additional  Shares.  The number of shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this  Warrant  shall be subject to increase  from time to time in  accordance
with the  provisions  of  Section  6.3(b)  of the  Purchase  Agreement  upon the
occurrence of certain events as set forth in that section.

     4.5 Sale or Issuance Below Warrant Price.
         --------------------------------------

     (a) Adjustment to Warrant  Price.  The "Warrant  Price" shall  initially be
equal to the Fair Market Value, as defined in the Purchase Agreement,  and shall
be subject to adjustment and readjustment from time to time, as required by this
Section 4.5. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time issue or sell
any of its Common Stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants,  options, or any
other rights or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for
a  consideration  per share less than the  Warrant  Price in effect  immediately
prior  to the  time of such  issue  or sale  (excluding  certain  securities  as
described  below),  the Warrant  Price shall be reduced  concurrently  with such
issue or sale to a price  (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined
by dividing  (A) the number of shares of Common  Stock  Outstanding  immediately
prior  to such  issue  or sale  multiplied  by the  Warrant  Price  plus (B) the
aggregate consideration received for such issue or sale, by the number of shares
of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.

     The  Exercise  Price  shall  also  be  concurrently   reduced  to  a  price
(calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent)  determined by  multiplying  1.25 by
the reduced Warrant Price.

     The number of shares of Common Stock "outstanding" as used in the foregoing
calculation  shall  mean the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  and
outstanding  plus the  number of shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon (x) the
exercise of all  outstanding  options and warrants to purchase  Common Stock and
(y) the conversion of all outstanding  convertible preferred stock,  convertible
debentures,  or any other rights or securities  convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock.

     (b)  Exceptions to Adjustment  of the Warrant  Price.  No adjustment to the
Warrant  Price or the  Exercise  Price shall be made under this Section 4.5 as a
result of any grant or  issuance  by the  Company  of any  rights or  securities
approved by the Company's board of directors in good faith, as follows:

          (i) Any grant or  exercise  of any  shares of Common  Stock  issued to
     employees, officers and directors of or consultants to the Company pursuant
     to any stock option plan,  employee  stock purchase plan or similar plan or
     incentive arrangement approved by the Company's board of directors;

                                       26
<PAGE>

          (ii) Any options,  warrants or other convertible  securities or rights
     or agreements to purchase securities of the Company outstanding on the date
     hereof; (iii) Any underwritten public offerings of the equity securities of
     the Company (excluding any equity line of credit);

          (iv) Any equity securities  issued for  consideration  other than cash
     pursuant to a merger, consolidation,  acquisition or other similar business
     combination;

          (v) Any equity  securities  issued in connection with any stock split,
     stock dividend or recapitalization of the Company;

          (vi) Any equity  securities of the Company  issued in connection  with
     strategic  transactions  involving  the  Company  and other  entities  in a
     similar or complementary  business of the Company, such as, but not limited
     to, joint ventures,  manufacturing,  marketing or distribution  agreements,
     technology  transfer  agreements,   research  and  development  agreements;
     provided that, in each case, the primary purpose of such transaction is not
     the raising of capital for the Company and the primary  business purpose of
     such  other  entity  is not  investing  in  securities;

          (vii) Any equity  securities  of the  Company  issued  pursuant to any
     equipment  leasing  arrangement  or debt  financing  from a bank  or  other
     financial  institution;  provided that, in each case, the primary  business
     purpose of such other entity is not investing in securities; and

          (viii) Any shares of Common  Stock  issued  upon the  exercise of this
     Warrant or any similar warrant issued  pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement.

     (c) Other Factors.  No adjustment shall be made under this Section 4.5 upon
the issuance of any additional  shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant
to the exercise of any options or warrants or other rights or the  conversion of
any  convertible  securities if any adjustment  shall  previously have been made
upon the issuance of any such options,  warrants or rights or the  conversion of
any convertible securities as provided above. If the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock otherwise  issuable or deemed issued for purposes of this Section 4
upon the  exercise of any options,  warrants,  convertible  securities  or other
rights or  agreements  is not in fact issued and the  remaining  portion of such
options, warrants,  convertible securities or other rights or agreements expires
or otherwise terminates,  then the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as previously
adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.5, shall be readjusted as if such expired or
terminated  portions  had not been  considered  issuable  or deemed  issued  for
purposes of this Section 4.5. In the case of the issuance or deemed  issuance of
shares of Common Stock for a  consideration  other than cash, the  consideration
received  by the Company  therefor  shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
consideration  as determined in good faith by the Company's  board of directors.

   4.6 Limitations on Exercise.
       ------------------------

     (a)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, the number
of shares of Common  Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any  exercise
of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect  hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially  owned

                                       27
<PAGE>

by such Holder and its  Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation
D under the Securities  Act) under Section 13(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),  does not exceed 4.999% of the total
number of issued and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock  (including  for such
purposes  the shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon such  exercise).  For such
purposes,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  promulgated thereunder.
Each delivery of an Exercise Notice  hereunder will constitute a  representation
by the Holder that it has evaluated the  limitation  set forth in this paragraph
and determined that the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to
be  issued  as  requested  in such  Exercise  Notice  is  permitted  under  this
paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of
the  limitation  referred to in this Section  shall be suspended  (and shall not
terminate or expire  notwithstanding  any contrary provisions hereof) until such
time,  if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in  compliance  with
such  limitation.  By written  notice to the  Company,  the Holder may waive the
provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver,  including  such increase in
shares,  will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the  Company,  and (ii) any such waiver will apply only to the Holder and not
to any other holder of Warrants.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, the number
of shares of Common  Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any  exercise
of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect  hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially  owned by such Holder and its
Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Securities  Act)
under  Section 13(d) of the  Securities  Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of
the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for
such purposes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  For such
purposes,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  promulgated thereunder.
Each delivery of an Exercise Notice  hereunder will constitute a  representation
by the Holder that it has evaluated the  limitation  set forth in this paragraph
and determined that the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to
be  issued  as  requested  in such  Exercise  Notice  is  permitted  under  this
paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of
the  limitation  referred to in this Section  shall be suspended  (and shall not
terminate or expire  notwithstanding  any contrary provisions hereof) until such
time,  if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in  compliance  with
such  limitation.  By written  notice to the  Company,  the Holder may waive the
provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver,  including  such increase in
shares,  will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the  Company,  and (ii) any such waiver will apply only to the Holder and not
to any other holder of Warrants.

     4.7 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and/or
any increase or decrease in the number of shares  purchasable  upon the exercise
of this Warrant, the Company shall issue a certificate prepared by the Company's
chief  financial  officer,  stating  the  Exercise  Price  resulting  from  such
adjustment  and the  increase  or  decrease,  if any,  in the  number  of shares
purchasable  at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant,  and setting forth
in  reasonable  detail the method of  calculation  and the facts upon which such
calculation is based.  The Company shall send a copy of such  certificate to the
Holder of this Warrant,  by first class mail, postage

                                       28
<PAGE>

prepaid,  at the  address  of such  Holder  as  shown  on the  books of the
Company,  promptly  after the  occurrence of the event  triggering an adjustment
under this Section 4.

     4.8 Other  Notices.  If at any time:

          (a) the Company shall declare any cash dividend or  distribution  upon
     shares of its Common Stock;

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

          (c) the Company shall offer for  subscription  pro rata to the holders
     of its Common  Stock any  additional  shares of stock of any class or other
     rights, or shall offer any of its securities pursuant to a public offering;

          (d) there shall be any capital  reorganization or  reclassification of
     the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company
     with or into, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another
     corporation;

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

     (f) the Company shall take or propose to take any other  action,  notice of
     which is actually provided (or is required to be provided,  pursuant to any
     written agreement) to holders of Common Stock;

then,  in any one or more of said cases,  the Company  shall give, by first
class mail,  postage  prepaid,  addressed  to the Holder of this  Warrant at the
address  of such  Holder as shown on the books of the  Company,  written  notice
setting  forth the  principal  terms of such event (i) at least twenty (20) days
prior to the date on which  the  books of the  Company  shall  close or a record
shall be taken for such dividend,  distribution  or  subscription  rights or for
determining   rights   to  vote  in   respect   of  any   such   reorganization,
reclassification,  consolidation,  merger,  sale,  dissolution,  liquidation  or
winding-up,  or other action  described in clause (f) above and (ii) in the case
of any such public offering,  reorganization,  reclassification,  consolidation,
merger, sale, dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up, or other action described
in clause  (f) above at least  twenty  (20) days prior to the date when the same
shall take place.  Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing  clause (i)
shall  also  specify,  in  the  case  of  any  such  dividend,  distribution  or
subscription  rights,  the date on which the  holders of Common  Stock  shall be
entitled thereto.  Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii)
shall also specify the approximate  date after which the holders of Common Stock
shall be  entitled  to  exchange  their  Common  Stock for  securities  or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,  consolidation,
merger, sale dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up,  or other action described
in clause (f) above, as the case may be.

     5. Cash  Dividends.  If the Company,  at any time while this Warrant or any
portion hereof remains  outstanding and unexpired,  shall pay or elect to pay or
declare and set apart for

                                       29
<PAGE>

payment a regular periodic cash dividend on any shares of Common Stock, the
Holder of this  Warrant  shall be entitled to receive  such  dividend as if this
Warrant had then been exercised.

     6. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates  for shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without  charge to the Holder of this
Warrant  for any issue  tax in  respect  thereof;  provided,  however,  that the
Company  shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer  involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name
other than that of the then Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

     7. Closing of Books.  The Company will at no time close its transfer  books
against the  transfer of this Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner during normal  business
hours which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

     8. No Voting  Rights;  Limitation of Liability.  Nothing  contained in this
Warrant  shall be construed as  conferring  upon the Holder  hereof the right to
vote or to consent as a shareholder in respect of meetings of  shareholders  for
the  election of  directors  of the  Company or any other  matters or any rights
whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence
of affirmative  action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock,  and no
mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof,  shall
give  rise to any  liability  of such  holder  for the  Exercise  Price  or as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or
by its creditors.

     9.  Registration  Rights.  The  Holder  hereof  shall  be  entitled  to the
registration rights set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

     10. Transferability of Securities.
         -------------------------------

     10.1 Transferability.  The Warrant and Warrant Stock shall be transferable,
in whole or in part,  without  charge to the Holder hereof  (except for transfer
taxes),  upon surrender of this Warrant  properly  endorsed and upon delivery of
the Assignment in  substantially  the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, subject
to  the  conditions   specified  in  this  Section  10  and  by  any  applicable
restrictions  set  forth  in  Section  6.3  of  the  Purchase  Agreement,  which
conditions  and  restrictions  are  intended  to  insure   compliance  with  the
provisions of the Securities Act. Each Holder will cause any proposed transferee
of the  Warrant  or  Warrant  Stock to agree  to take and hold  such  securities
subject to the provisions  and upon the conditions  specified in this Section 10
and by the restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement if and to the extent
that such  securities  continue to be restricted  securities in the hands of the
transferee.  Each taker and  Holder of this  Warrant,  by taking or holding  the
same,  consents and agrees that this Warrant,  when endorsed in blank,  shall be
deemed negotiable, and that the Holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been
so endorsed,  may be treated by the Company and all other  persons  dealing with
this  Warrant as the  absolute  owner  hereof for any  purpose and as the person
entitled to  exercise  the rights  represented  by this  Warrant;  but until the
transfer  hereof  on the  books  of the  Company,  the  Company  may  treat  the
registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

                                       30
<PAGE>

     10.2  Restrictive  Legend and  Restrictions  on  Transfer.  The Warrant and
Warrant Stock shall be subject to the legend  requirements  and  restrictions on
transfer as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

     10.3 Rights and  Obligations  Survive  Exercise of Warrant.  The rights and
obligations of the holder of the Warrant Stock  contained in this Section 10 and
the Purchase Agreement shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

     11.  Modification and Waiver.  This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed,  waived,  discharged  or  terminated  only by an  instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

     12. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to
be given or delivered to the Holder  hereof or the Company shall be delivered or
shall be sent by certified or registered  mail,  postage  prepaid,  to each such
Holder at its  address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at
the address indicated in the first paragraph of this Warrant or shall be sent by
facsimile transmission to any number provided by a Holder or the Company for the
purpose of this Section 12.

     13. Binding  Effect on  Successors.  This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation  succeeding the Company by merger,  consolidation  or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets.  All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Warrant Stock shall survive the exercise and termination
of this Warrant.  All of the covenants and agreements of the Company shall inure
to  the  benefit  of the  successors  and  assigns  of the  Holder  hereof.

     14. Descriptive Headings and Governing Law. The descriptive headings of the
several  sections and  paragraphs  of this Warrant are inserted for  convenience
only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant.

     15.  Governing  Law and  Forum.  This  Warrant  shall  be  governed  by and
construed in accordance  with the laws of the State of New York,  without giving
effect to any  choice of law  provisions  thereof,  and the  federal  law of the
United  States of America.  The parties  hereto agree to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction  of the  federal  and  state  courts  of the State of New York with
respect to the  interpretation of this Warrant or for the purposes of any action
arising  out  of or  related  to  this  Warrant.

     16.  Lost  Warrants  or Stock  Certificates.  The  Company  represents  and
warrants  to  the  Holder  hereof  that  upon  receipt  of  evidence  reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss,  theft,  destruction,  or mutilation of
any Warrant or stock  certificate  and,  in the case of any such loss,  theft or
destruction,  upon  receipt  of an  indemnity  reasonably  satisfactory  to  the
Company,  or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and  cancellation
of such Warrant or stock  certificate,  the Company at its expense will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate,  of like tenor, in lieu of the lost,
stolen,  destroyed or mutilated  Warrant or stock  certificate.

     17.  Fractional  Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay
to the Holder  entitled  to such  fraction

                                       31
<PAGE>

a sum in cash equal to such  fraction  multiplied  by the then fair  market
value of a share of Common Stock,  which shall be determined in accordance  with
the provisions of Section 3 of this Warrant.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be duly executed
and delivered by its  officers,  thereunto  duly  authorized as of December ___,
2001.

                                December 21, 2001

To the Purchasers Listed in
Schedule A to the Trimble Navigation Limited
Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement
Dated as of December 21, 2001

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the Stock and Warrant  Purchase  Agreement dated as of
December 21, 2001 (the "Agreement"),  by and among Trimble Navigation Limited, a
California  corporation (the "Company"),  and the persons and entities listed in
Schedule A to the Agreement (the "Purchasers"),  which provides for the issuance
by the  Company  to the  Purchasers  of shares of  Common  Stock of the  Company
("Shares") and Warrants to purchase Common Stock  ("Warrants").  This opinion is
rendered to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of the Agreement,  and all
capitalized  terms  used  herein  have  the  meanings  defined  for  them in the
Agreement  unless  otherwise  defined  herein.  Reference in this opinion to the
Agreement excludes any schedule or substantive  agreement attached as an exhibit
to the Agreement, unless otherwise indicated herein.

     We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the negotiation
of the Agreement and the Warrants (collectively,  the "Transaction  Documents").
As such counsel, we have made such legal examination as we have deemed advisable
or necessary for the purpose of rendering  this  opinion.  As to matters of fact
material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied, with your permission,
solely upon the  representations  and warranties as to factual matters contained
in,  and  made by the  Company  and the  Purchasers,  in the  Agreement  and the
Warrants,  and certificates of certain  government  officials and of officers of
the Company as required by the Agreement. In such examinations,  we have assumed
the genuineness of all signatures on original  documents,  the  authenticity and
completeness  of all documents  submitted to us as originals,  the conformity to
original  documents  of all copies  submitted  to us and the due  execution  and
delivery  of all  documents  (except as to due  execution  and  delivery  by the
Company)   where  due  execution  and  delivery  are  a   prerequisite   to  the
effectiveness thereof.

     As used in this opinion,  the expression "to our knowledge,"  "known to us"
or similar  language  with  reference  to matters of fact  refers to the current
actual  knowledge  of the  attorneys of this firm who have worked on matters for
the Company in connection with the Agreement and the  transactions  contemplated
thereby.  Except to the extent  expressly  set forth  herein or as we  otherwise
believe to be necessary to our opinion,  we have not undertaken any  independent
investigation  to  determine  the  existence  or  absence  of any  fact,  and no
inference as to our  knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be
drawn from our representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinion set
forth below.

     In rendering this opinion, we have assumed,  with your permission:  (a) the
authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, (b)
the conformity to original documents

signatures,  (d) the legal capacity of natural persons, (e) the truth, accuracy,
and  completeness  of the  information,  factual  matters,  representations  and
warranties  contained in all of the documents related to this  transaction,  (f)
the due  execution  and delivery by the  Purchasers  of all  documents  when due
execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof, (g) that
the  parties  will act in  accordance  with  their  respective  representations,
warranties,  covenants,  and  agreements  as set  forth  in the  Agreement,  the
Warrants,  and the other  documents  to the  transaction,  (h) that there are no
extrinsic agreements or understandings among any of the parties to the Agreement
that  would  modify  any of  the  terms  thereof  or the  respective  rights  or
obligations of any of the parties thereunder, (i) the Agreement and the Warrants
are binding and  enforceable  obligations of the  Purchasers in accordance  with
their terms, and (j) that there has been no fraud, duress,  undue influence,  or
mutual  mistake  of fact or  misunderstanding.  We are  also  assuming  that the
Purchasers  have purchased the Shares and Warrants for value,  in good faith and
without  notice of any  adverse  claims  within the  meaning  of the  California
Uniform Commercial Code.

     We are  members  of the Bar of the State of  California  and we  express no
opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
federal  laws of the  United  States  of  America  and the laws of the  State of
California.  We  note  that  the  parties  to  the  Transaction  Documents  have
designated  the  laws  of the  State  of New  York  as the  laws  governing  the
Transaction  Documents.  We assume for purposes of this opinion that the laws of
the State of New York are identical to the laws of the State of California.

     We do not assume  any  responsibility  for the  accuracy,  completeness  or
fairness  of  any  information,   including,   but  not  limited  to,  financial
information,  furnished  to you by the  Company,  or  any  of  their  agents  or
representatives  concerning  the business or affairs of the Company or any other
information  of a factual  nature.  This opinion is provided as a legal  opinion
only, and not as a guaranty or warranty of the matters  discussed  herein.  This
opinion is limited to the matters  stated  herein,  and no opinion is implied or
may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

     The opinions hereinafter  expressed are subject to the following additional
qualifications:

     (a) We  express  no  opinion  as to the  effect of  applicable  bankruptcy,
insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar
federal or state laws affecting the rights of creditors;

     (b) We  express no  opinion  as to the  effect of  limitations  that may be
imposed  as a matter  of  public  policy,  or as to the  effect  of rules of law
governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies or
principles,  including,  without  limitation,   considerations  of

materiality,  reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether
any such remedy or principle is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);

     (c) We express no opinion as to compliance  with the anti-fraud  provisions
of applicable securities laws;

     (d) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the  indemnification,
reimbursement or contribution provisions of the Agreement;

     (e) We  express  no  opinion  as to the  enforceability  of  choice  of law
provisions or provisions that exclude  conflicts of law principles under certain
circumstances  (conflicts of law principles  may require the  application of the
law of another jurisdiction if the agreement violates a public policy of another
jurisdiction  related to the transaction or another  jurisdiction has a stronger
governmental interest in having its own laws applied);

     (f) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions that waive
jury  trials,  service  of process or  objections  to venue or forum,  establish
particular  courts,  laws  or  evidentiary  standards  for the  adjudication  of
disputes, or provide for arbitration of disputes;

     (g) We  express  no opinion as to the  enforceability  of  provisions  that
provide  that  rights  or  remedies  may  be  exercised  without  notice  or are
cumulative  or that the failure to exercise  particular  rights or remedies will
not operate as a waiver of such right or remedy;

     (h) We express no opinion as the legality,  validity,  binding  nature,  or
enforceability   of(i)  provisions   regarding  a  party's  ability  to  collect
attorneys' fees and costs, (ii) any provision imposing penalties,  late charges,
increases in the interest rate, or forfeitures,  upon  delinquency in payment or
the  occurrence  of a default  to the  extent  that they  constitute  penalties,
forfeitures,  or are contrary to public  policy,  or (iii) any  provision to the
effect that a statement,  certificate,  determination  of record shall be deemed
conclusive  or prima facie  evidence of a fact;

     (i) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions that waive
broadly or vaguely stated rights, unknown future rights or rights or defenses to
obligations  granted by law;

     (j) We express no opinion as to matters of patent, trademark,  copyright or
antitrust law; and

     (k) We express no opinion  regarding  the effect of  exercise  of  judicial
discretion, whether in a proceeding at law or in equity.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1.  Each  of  the  Company  and  the  Subsidiaries  is a  corporation  duly
incorporated  and  validly  existing  under,  and by virtue  of, the laws of the
jurisdiction  of its  incorporation  and is in good standing (to the extent such
concept is applicable) under such laws, and based solely upon the certificate of
good  standing or  equivalent  issued by each of the  Company  and  Subsidiary's
jurisdiction  of  incorporation,  each of the Company and  Subsidiaries  has the
requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and assets
and to carry on its business as currently conducted.

     2. The Company has all requisite  legal and  corporate  power to enter into
and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and to
carry  out and  perform  its  obligations  under  the  terms of the  Transaction
Documents.

     3. All  corporate  action  on the  part of the  Company  necessary  for the
authorization,  execution  and delivery of the  Agreement  by the  Company,  the
authorization,  sale,  issuance  and delivery of the Shares and Warrants and the
performance by the Company of its obligations  under the  Transaction  Documents
has been taken.  Each of the  Agreement  and  Warrants has been duly and validly
executed  and  delivered  by the  Company  and  constitutes  a valid and binding
obligation of the Company,  enforceable  against the Company in accordance  with
its terms.

4. The Shares,  when issued in compliance  with the provisions of the Agreement,
will be  validly  issued,  fully paid and  nonassessable  and free of any liens,
encumbrances  and  preemptive  or similar  rights  contained  in the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company,  except as specifically  provided in the
Agreement;  provided, however, that the Shares may be subject to restrictions on
transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws. The Warrants,  when
issued in  compliance  with the  provisions  of the  Agreement,  will be validly
issued,  nonassessable  and free of any liens,  encumbrances  and  preemptive or
similar  rights  contained  in the  Articles of  Incorporation  or Bylaws of the
Company,  except as specifically provided in the Agreement;  provided,  however,
that the Warrants may be subject to  restrictions  on transfer under  applicable
state and federal  securities  laws. The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of the Warrants (the "Warrant  Stock") has been duly and validly  reserved,  and
when  issued in  accordance  with the  Warrants  and the  Company's  Articles of
Incorporation  will be  validly  issued,  fully paid and  nonassessable.

5. The  execution and delivery by the Company of the  Transaction  Documents and
the  performance  by  the  Company  of its  obligations  under  the  Transaction
Documents  do  not  violate  any   provision  of  the   Company's   Articles  of
Incorporation  or Bylaws  or, to our  knowledge,  result in a  violation  of any
statute,  rule  or  regulation  applicable  to  the  Company  that  an  attorney
practicing in

California   exercising  customary   professional   diligence  would  reasonably
recognize to be typically applicable to similar transactions.

     6. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation,  declaration or
filing with any federal or State of  California  governmental  authority  on the
part of the Company is required in connection with the execution and delivery of
the  Agreement,  or the offer,  sale or issuance of the Shares and Warrants.

     7.  Subject  to  the  accuracy  of  the  Purchasers'   representations  and
warranties in Section 4 of the  Agreement,  the offer,  sale and issuance of the
Shares, Warrants and Warrant Stock in conformity with the terms of the Agreement
and Warrants constitute  transactions exempt from the registration  requirements
of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     This  opinion is  rendered  as of the date  hereof and  addresses  only the
matters  specifically set forth herein, and we undertake no, and hereby disclaim
any,  obligation to update or advise you of any  circumstances or events, or any
changes in the law, that may hereafter be brought to our attention  even if they
may affect or modify the opinions expressed herein. This opinion is furnished by
us, as counsel to the Company, to you solely for your benefit, and it may not be
relied upon by any other person or for any other  purpose and may not be quoted,
disclosed,  filed  with any public or  governmental  entity,  without  our prior
written consent.

         Additionally, we offer the following instructions:

     Reference is made to that certain Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase  Agreement") dated December 21, 2001, by and among the Company and the
Purchasers,  pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the  Purchasers  shares
(the  "Shares")  of its common  stock (the  "Common  Stock")  together  with and
certain warrants that are exercisable for additional shares of Common Stock (the
"Warrants"). The shares of Common Stock sold to the Purchasers together with the
shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  the  exercise  of  the  Warrants  are
collectively referred hereto as the "Underlying Shares". We have agreed with the
Purchasers  that we  will  deliver  to  them  the  certificates  evidencing  the
Underlying  Shares free of all  restrictive  legends  when there is an effective
registration   statement   covering  the  resale  of  the   Underlying   Shares.
Accordingly, if our outside counsel shall have previously informed you through a
form of legal opinion (attached as Exhibit D) that a registration  statement was
declared  effective with respect to the Underlying  Shares,  then you are hereby
irrevocably  authorized and directed to deliver to the  Purchasers  certificates
evidencing the Underlying Shares free of all restrictive  legends upon receiving
notice  to issue  new  shares  upon the  exercise  of the  Warrants  or upon the
surrender of such  original  certificates  for the Shares.  You need not require
further  letters from us or our counsel to effect the  issuance of  certificates
evidencing the shares, and in the future this letter shall serve as our standing
instructions with regard to this matter.

     We may notify you to place  stop-transfer  restrictions on the certificates
evidencing  the  shares in the  event,  but only in the  event,  a  registration
statement is subject to amendment  for

events then current.  In such cases, we will notify you when such stop order may
be properly lifted.

     Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions  regarding the
enclosed.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The  Selling  Shareholders  and  any  of  their  pledgees,   assignees  and
successors-in-interest  named in the  Registration on Form S-3 may, from time to
time,  sell any or all of their  shares of Common  Stock on any stock  exchange,
market  or  trading  facility  on which the  shares  are  traded  or in  private
transactions.  These  sales may be at fixed or  negotiated  prices.  The Selling
Shareholders  may use any one or more  of the  following  methods  when  selling
shares:

     o    ordinary   brokerage   transactions  and  transactions  in  which  the
          broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

     o    block  trades  in which the  broker-dealer  will  attempt  to sell the
          shares as agent but may  position and resell a portion of the block as
          principal to facilitate the transaction;

     o    purchases  by  a   broker-dealer   as  principal  and  resale  by  the
          broker-dealer for its account;

     o    an  exchange   distribution  in  accordance  with  the  rules  of  the
          applicable exchange;

     o    privately negotiated transactions;

     o    short sales;

     o    broker-dealers  may  agree  with the  Selling  Shareholders  to sell a
          specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

     o    a combination of any such methods of sale; and

     o    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

     The  Selling  Shareholders  may also sell  shares  under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

     The Selling  Shareholders  may also engage in short sales  against the box,
puts  and  calls  and  other  transactions  in  securities  of  the  Company  or
derivatives  of Company  securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection
with these  trades.  The Selling  Shareholders  may pledge their shares to their
brokers  under  the  margin  provisions  of  customer  agreements.  If a Selling
Shareholder  defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer
and sell the pledged shares.

     Broker-dealers  engaged by the Selling  Shareholders  may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling  Shareholders  (or, if any  broker-dealer  acts as
agent  for the  purchaser  of  shares,  from the  purchaser)  in  amounts  to be
negotiated.  The  Selling  Shareholders  do not  expect  these  commissions  and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

     The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the shares may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the meaning of
the Securities Act

                                       43

in connection with such sales. In such event,  any commissions  received by such
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by
them may be  deemed  to be  underwriting  commissions  or  discounts  under  the
Securities Act.

     The  Company  is  required  to pay all fees and  expenses  incident  to the
registration of the shares,  including fees and  disbursements of one counsel to
the  Selling  Shareholders.  The  Company  has agreed to  indemnify  the Selling
Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities,  including
liabilities  under the Securities Act, and the Selling  Shareholders have agreed
to  indemnify  the  Company  against  certain   losses,   claims,   damages  and
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

                               WARRANT TO PURCHASE
                      __________ SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF
                           TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED

No. W2001-___

     FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of which  is  hereby
acknowledged,  this  warrant has been issued by Trimble  Navigation  Limited,  a
California  corporation  (the  "Company") to  ______________  (the  "Purchaser")
pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock and Warrant  Purchase
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Purchase  Agreement").  This warrant
certifies that Purchaser and its nominees or assigns hereunder (the "Holder") is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to ______________ (________) fully paid
and nonassessable  shares of the Company's common stock ("Common  Stock"),  at a
price of $19.475 per share (which is 125% of the "Fair Market  Value" of a share
of Common Stock, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, hereinafter the "Exercise
Price"),  at any  time or  from  time to  time  up to and  including  5:00  p.m.
(California  time)  on  the  Expiration  Date  (as  hereinafter  defined),  upon
surrender  to the  Company at its  principal  office at 645 North  Mary  Avenue,
Sunnyvale, California 94088 (or at such other location as the Company may advise
the  Holder in  writing)  of this  Warrant  properly  endorsed  with the Form of
Subscription  attached  as Exhibit A hereto  duly  filled in and signed and upon
payment, in any manner set forth herein, of the aggregate Exercise Price for the
number of  shares  for which  this  Warrant  is being  exercised  determined  in
accordance  with the  provisions  hereof.  The Exercise  Price and the number of
shares  purchasable   hereunder  are  subject  to  additional   adjustments  and
limitations as provided in Section 4 of this Warrant.

                                       1
<PAGE>

  This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

  1. Exercise.
     ---------

     1.1  Issuance  of  Certificates;   Payment  for  Shares.  This  Warrant  is
exercisable  only by the  Holder of record  hereof,  at any time or from time to
time,  in whole or in part,  until 5:00 p.m.,  California  time, on December 19,
2006 (the "Expiration Date"). The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock
purchased  under this Warrant  shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof
as the record  owner of such  shares as of the close of  business on the date on
which  this  Warrant  shall  have  been  properly   surrendered   for  exercise.
Certificates  for the shares of Common  Stock so  purchased,  together  with any
other  securities  or property to which the Holder  hereof is entitled upon such
exercise,  shall be  delivered,  free of any  legends  except as provided in the
Purchase Agreement, to the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company's expense
as soon as practicable  but, in any event,  within three (3) trading days, after
the rights  represented  by this Warrant have been so exercised.  In case of the
purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased  under this Warrant,
the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon its surrender and execute and deliver
a new  Warrant  or  Warrants  of  like  tenor  for  the  balance  of the  shares
purchasable  under the  Warrant  surrendered  upon such  purchase  to the Holder
hereof as soon as practicable  but within said three (3) day period.  Each stock
certificate so delivered shall be in such  denominations  of Common Stock as may
be requested by the Holder  hereof and shall be  registered  in the name of such
Holder or such other name as shall be designated by such Holder,  subject to the
limitations contained in Section 10.

     1.2 Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Company  fails  to  deliver  to  the  Holder  a  certificate   or   certificates
representing  the shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon exercise of the Warrant
(the "Warrant Stock") pursuant to an exercise by the third trading day after the
date of exercise,  and if after such third trading day the Holder  purchases (in
an open market  transaction  or otherwise)  shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction  of a sale by the  Holder of the  Warrant  Stock  which the  Holder
anticipated  receiving  upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"),  then the Company shall
(i) pay in cash to the  Holder  the  amount  by  which  (x) the  Holder's  total
purchase  price  (including  brokerage  commissions,  if any) for the  shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of Warrant  Stock that the Company was  required to deliver to the Holder
in  connection  with the  exercise  at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the
Common  Stock  at the  time of the  obligation  giving  rise  to  such  purchase
obligation  and (ii) at the option of the Holder,  reinstate  the portion of the
Warrant and  equivalent  number of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not
honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been issued had the Company timely  complied with its exercise and delivery
obligations  hereunder.  The Holder  shall  provide the Company  written  notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

     2. Shares to be Fully Paid;  Reservation of Shares.  The Company  covenants
and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise
of the  rights  represented  by  this  Warrant  shall,  upon  issuance,  be duly
authorized,  validly  issued,  fully  paid and  nonassessable  and free from all
preemptive  rights of any shareholder  and free of all taxes,  liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that
during the period

                                       2
<PAGE>

within which the rights  represented by this Warrant may be exercised,  the
Company  shall at all times have  authorized  and  reserved,  for the purpose of
issue or transfer  upon  exercise of the rights  evidenced  by this  Warrant,  a
sufficient  number of shares of authorized but unissued  Common Stock,  or other
securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the
rights  represented  by this Warrant.  The Company shall take all such action as
may be  necessary  to assure that such  shares of Common  Stock may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may
be listed.  The  Company  shall not take any action  which  would  result in any
adjustment  (pursuant  to Section 4 hereof) of the  Exercise  Price if the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable  after such action,  together with all
shares of Common Stock then  outstanding  and then issuable upon exercise of all
options  and all  similar  rights  and upon the  conversion  of all  convertible
securities  then  outstanding  would exceed the total number of shares of Common
Stock then authorized by the Company's  articles of incorporation.

  3. Exercise.
     ---------

     3.1 Payment of Exercise  Price.  Payment of the Exercise Price may be made,
at the option of the Holder, (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by canceling all or a
portion of any indebtedness of the Company to the Holder,  in an amount equal to
the aggregate  Exercise  Price of the shares of Common Stock then being acquired
by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant,  (iii) by a combination of cash and
cancellation of such  indebtedness,  or (iv) by electing a net issue exercise in
the manner  described in Section 3.2 below.

     3.2 Net Issue  Exercise.  In lieu of exercising  this Warrant by payment of
the  Exercise  Price  pursuant  to Section  3.1  above,  the Holder may elect to
convert this Warrant (the  "Conversion  Right"),  in whole or in part,  into the
number of shares of Common Stock calculated  pursuant to the following  formula,
by surrendering this Warrant and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Holder desires to convert:

                            X = Y (A - B)
                                ---------
                                     A

          where:            X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be
                                issued to the Holder;

                            Y    = the number of shares of Common Stock
                                 subject to this Warrant for which the
                                 Conversion Right is being exercised;

                            A = the fair market value of one share of Common
                                Stock; and

                            B = the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

     As used  herein,  the fair market  value of one share of Common Stock shall
mean the closing price per share of the Company's  Common Stock on the principal
securities  exchange  on which the Common  Stock is then  listed or  admitted to
trading or, if not then listed or admitted to trading on any such  exchange,  on
the NASDAQ National Market System, or if not then listed or traded on the NASDAQ
National  Market  System,  the  average of the bid and offer  price per share on
NASDAQ,  in

                                       3
<PAGE>

each case  averaged  over the ten (10) trading days  consisting  of the day
preceding  the  date  upon  which  the  Warrant  is  exercised  and the nine (9)
consecutive  trading  days prior to such day. If at any time the Common Stock is
not listed or traded on any exchange or system, the current fair market value of
a share of Common  Stock shall be the price per share  which the  Company  could
obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee, consultant or director) for
shares of Common Stock sold by the Company,  as  determined in good faith by the
Company's board of directors.  Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,  if the
Company  shall become a party to a merger,  acquisition  or other  consolidation
pursuant  to which the Company is not the  surviving  entity,  the current  fair
market value of a share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the value received
by the holders of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to such transaction.

     In the event of any conversion of this Warrant, certificates for the shares
of stock so converted  shall be  delivered to the Holder as soon as  practicable
but, in any event, within three (3) days thereafter and, unless this Warrant has
been fully converted or has expired,  a new Warrant  representing the portion of
the  shares,  if any,  with  respect to which this  Warrant  shall not have been
converted,  shall also be issued to the Holder as soon as practicable but within
such three (3) day period.

     4.  Adjustment of Exercise  Price and Number of Shares.  The Exercise Price
and/or the  number  and kind of shares  purchasable  upon the  exercise  of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment  from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 4.

     4.1  Subdivision or Combination of Stock.  In case the Company shall at any
time subdivide its  outstanding  shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares,  the number of shares  purchasable  hereunder  shall be  proportionately
increased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares
of Common  Stock of the  Company  shall be  combined  into a  smaller  number of
shares,  the number of shares  purchasable  hereunder  shall be  proportionately
reduced and the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior to such combination
shall be proportionately increased.

     4.2 Dividends or Distributions  in Common Stock,  Other Stock, or Property.
If at any time or from time to time the  holders of Common  Stock (or any shares
of capital stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment
therefore,

     (a) Common  Stock or any shares of stock or other  securities  which are at
any time  directly or indirectly  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for Common
Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for,  purchase or otherwise acquire
any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

     (b) any cash paid or  payable  otherwise  than as a regular  periodic  cash
dividend at a rate which is substantially  consistent with past practice (or, in
the case of an initial  dividend,  at a rate which is  substantially  consistent
with industry practice), or

     (c) Common Stock or other or additional  capital stock or other  securities
or property (including cash) by way of spin-off,  split-up, or similar corporate
distribution  (other  than

                                       4
<PAGE>

shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split,  adjustments  in respect of
which shall be covered by the terms of Section 4.1 above),

then and in each such case,  the Holder hereof shall,  upon the exercise of
this  Warrant,  be entitled  to receive,  in addition to the number of shares of
Common  Stock  receivable  thereupon,  and  without  payment  of any  additional
consideration  thereof,  the amount of stock and other  securities  and property
(including  cash in the cases  referred to in clauses  (b) and (c) above)  which
such Holder  would hold on the date of such  exercise  had it been the holder of
record of such  Common  Stock as of the date on which  holders  of Common  Stock
received or became  entitled to receive such shares and/or all other  additional
capital stock and other securities and property.

     4.3 Reorganization,  Reclassification,  Consolidation or Merger. If, at any
time while this Warrant is  outstanding,  (i) the Company  effects any merger or
consolidation  of the  Company  with or into  another  entity,  (ii) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of
related  transactions,  (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another  entity) is  completed  pursuant  to which  holders of Common
Stock are  permitted to tender or exchange  their  shares for other  securities,
cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any  compulsory  share  exchange  pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively  converted into or exchanged for other securities,  cash or property
(in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"),  then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive,  upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of  securities,  cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental  Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Stock
then  issuable   upon   exercise  in  full  of  this  Warrant  (the   "Alternate
Consideration").  The  aggregate  Exercise  Price for this  Warrant  will not be
affected by any such  Fundamental  Transaction,  but the Company shall apportion
such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate  Consideration in a reasonable
manner  reflecting  the  relative  value  of  any  different  components  of the
Alternate  Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the  securities,  cash or property to be received in a Fundamental  Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it  receives  upon any  exercise  of this  Warrant  following  such  Fundamental
Transaction.  At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental  Transaction  shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent  with the foregoing  provisions  and evidencing the Holder's right to
purchase the  Alternate  Consideration  for the  aggregate  Exercise  Price upon
exercise  thereof.  The terms of any  agreement  pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction  is effected  shall  include terms  requiring any such  successor or
surviving  entity  to  comply  with the  provisions  of this  paragraph  (c) and
ensuring that the Warrant (or any such  replacement  security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental  Transaction constitutes or results in a change of control of
the  Company,  then at the request of the Holder  delivered  before the 90th day
after such  Fundamental  Transaction,  the  Company  (or any such  successor  or
surviving  entity)  will  purchase  the  Warrant  from the Holder for a purchase
price,  payable in cash  within five  trading  days after such  request  (or, if
later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the value
of the Warrant on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction,  determined
using a Black  Scholes  valuation  model  and  assumptions  reasonably  mutually
acceptable  to the  Company  and  Holder,  provided  that for  purposes  of such
calculation,  the market  price of the Common  Stock  shall be the higher of the
closing price on trading day immediately  preceeding or the

                                       5
<PAGE>

closing  price  on  the  trading  day  immediately   following  the  public
announcement  of  such  Fundamental  Transaction,  and  in  no  event  will  the
volatility  factor be greater  than fifty  percent  (50%).  For purposes of this
Section 4.3, "change of control" means a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or a  consolidation  or merger of the Company into or with
any entity or entities  after which the holders of capital  stock of the Company
hold  less  than  fifty  percent  (50%)  of  the  aggregate  outstanding  voting
securities of the surviving entity.

     4.4 Additional  Shares.  The number of shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this  Warrant  shall be subject to increase  from time to time in  accordance
with the  provisions  of  Section  6.3(b)  of the  Purchase  Agreement  upon the
occurrence of certain events as set forth in that section.

     4.5 Sale or Issuance Below Warrant Price.
         --------------------------------------

     (a) Adjustment to Warrant  Price.  The "Warrant  Price" shall  initially be
equal to the Fair Market Value, as defined in the Purchase Agreement,  and shall
be subject to adjustment and readjustment from time to time, as required by this
Section 4.5. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time issue or sell
any of its Common Stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants,  options, or any
other rights or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for
a  consideration  per share less than the  Warrant  Price in effect  immediately
prior  to the  time of such  issue  or sale  (excluding  certain  securities  as
described  below),  the Warrant  Price shall be reduced  concurrently  with such
issue or sale to a price  (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined
by dividing  (A) the number of shares of Common  Stock  Outstanding  immediately
prior  to such  issue  or sale  multiplied  by the  Warrant  Price  plus (B) the
aggregate consideration received for such issue or sale, by the number of shares
of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.

     The  Exercise  Price  shall  also  be  concurrently   reduced  to  a  price
(calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent)  determined by  multiplying  1.25 by
the reduced Warrant Price.

     The number of shares of Common Stock "outstanding" as used in the foregoing
calculation  shall  mean the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  and
outstanding  plus the  number of shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon (x) the
exercise of all  outstanding  options and warrants to purchase  Common Stock and
(y) the conversion of all outstanding  convertible preferred stock,  convertible
debentures,  or any other rights or securities  convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock.

     (b)  Exceptions to Adjustment  of the Warrant  Price.  No adjustment to the
Warrant  Price or the  Exercise  Price shall be made under this Section 4.5 as a
result of any grant or  issuance  by the  Company  of any  rights or  securities
approved by the Company's board of directors in good faith, as follows:

          (i) Any grant or  exercise  of any  shares of Common  Stock  issued to
     employees, officers and directors of or consultants to the Company pursuant
     to any stock option plan,  employee  stock purchase plan or similar plan or
     incentive arrangement approved by the Company's board of directors;

                                       6
<PAGE>

          (ii) Any options,  warrants or other convertible  securities or rights
     or agreements to purchase securities of the Company outstanding on the date
     hereof; (iii) Any underwritten public offerings of the equity securities of
     the Company (excluding any equity line of credit);

          (iv) Any equity securities  issued for  consideration  other than cash
     pursuant to a merger, consolidation,  acquisition or other similar business
     combination;

          (v) Any equity  securities  issued in connection with any stock split,
     stock dividend or recapitalization of the Company;

          (vi) Any equity  securities of the Company  issued in connection  with
     strategic  transactions  involving  the  Company  and other  entities  in a
     similar or complementary  business of the Company, such as, but not limited
     to, joint ventures,  manufacturing,  marketing or distribution  agreements,
     technology  transfer  agreements,   research  and  development  agreements;
     provided that, in each case, the primary purpose of such transaction is not
     the raising of capital for the Company and the primary  business purpose of
     such  other  entity  is not  investing  in  securities;

          (vii) Any equity  securities  of the  Company  issued  pursuant to any
     equipment  leasing  arrangement  or debt  financing  from a bank  or  other
     financial  institution;  provided that, in each case, the primary  business
     purpose of such other entity is not investing in securities; and

          (viii) Any shares of Common  Stock  issued  upon the  exercise of this
     Warrant or any similar warrant issued  pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement.

     (c) Other Factors.  No adjustment shall be made under this Section 4.5 upon
the issuance of any additional  shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant
to the exercise of any options or warrants or other rights or the  conversion of
any  convertible  securities if any adjustment  shall  previously have been made
upon the issuance of any such options,  warrants or rights or the  conversion of
any convertible securities as provided above. If the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock otherwise  issuable or deemed issued for purposes of this Section 4
upon the  exercise of any options,  warrants,  convertible  securities  or other
rights or  agreements  is not in fact issued and the  remaining  portion of such
options, warrants,  convertible securities or other rights or agreements expires
or otherwise terminates,  then the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as previously
adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.5, shall be readjusted as if such expired or
terminated  portions  had not been  considered  issuable  or deemed  issued  for
purposes of this Section 4.5. In the case of the issuance or deemed  issuance of
shares of Common Stock for a  consideration  other than cash, the  consideration
received  by the Company  therefor  shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
consideration  as determined in good faith by the Company's  board of directors.

   4.6 Limitations on Exercise.
       ------------------------

     (a)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, the number
of shares of Common  Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any  exercise
of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect  hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially  owned

                                       7
<PAGE>

by such Holder and its  Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation
D under the Securities  Act) under Section 13(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),  does not exceed 4.999% of the total
number of issued and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock  (including  for such
purposes  the shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon such  exercise).  For such
purposes,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  promulgated thereunder.
Each delivery of an Exercise Notice  hereunder will constitute a  representation
by the Holder that it has evaluated the  limitation  set forth in this paragraph
and determined that the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to
be  issued  as  requested  in such  Exercise  Notice  is  permitted  under  this
paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of
the  limitation  referred to in this Section  shall be suspended  (and shall not
terminate or expire  notwithstanding  any contrary provisions hereof) until such
time,  if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in  compliance  with
such  limitation.  By written  notice to the  Company,  the Holder may waive the
provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver,  including  such increase in
shares,  will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the  Company,  and (ii) any such waiver will apply only to the Holder and not
to any other holder of Warrants.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, the number
of shares of Common  Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any  exercise
of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect  hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially  owned by such Holder and its
Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Securities  Act)
under  Section 13(d) of the  Securities  Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of
the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for
such purposes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  For such
purposes,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  promulgated thereunder.
Each delivery of an Exercise Notice  hereunder will constitute a  representation
by the Holder that it has evaluated the  limitation  set forth in this paragraph
and determined that the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to
be  issued  as  requested  in such  Exercise  Notice  is  permitted  under  this
paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of
the  limitation  referred to in this Section  shall be suspended  (and shall not
terminate or expire  notwithstanding  any contrary provisions hereof) until such
time,  if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in  compliance  with
such  limitation.  By written  notice to the  Company,  the Holder may waive the
provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver,  including  such increase in
shares,  will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the  Company,  and (ii) any such waiver will apply only to the Holder and not
to any other holder of Warrants.

     4.7 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and/or
any increase or decrease in the number of shares  purchasable  upon the exercise
of this Warrant, the Company shall issue a certificate prepared by the Company's
chief  financial  officer,  stating  the  Exercise  Price  resulting  from  such
adjustment  and the  increase  or  decrease,  if any,  in the  number  of shares
purchasable  at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant,  and setting forth
in  reasonable  detail the method of  calculation  and the facts upon which such
calculation is based.  The Company shall send a copy of such  certificate to the
Holder of this Warrant,  by first class mail, postage

                                       8

Company,  promptly  after the  occurrence of the event  triggering an adjustment

     which is actually provided (or is required to be provided,  pursuant to any
     written agreement) to holders of Common Stock;

then,  in any one or more of said cases,  the Company  shall give, by first
class mail,  postage  prepaid,  addressed  to the Holder of this  Warrant at the
address  of such  Holder as shown on the books of the  Company,  written  notice
setting  forth the  principal  terms of such event (i) at least twenty (20) days
prior to the date on which  the  books of the  Company  shall  close or a record
shall be taken for such dividend,  distribution  or  subscription  rights or for
determining   rights   to  vote  in   respect   of  any   such   reorganization,

     5. Cash  Dividends.  If the Company,  at any time while this Warrant or any
portion hereof remains  outstanding and unexpired,  shall pay or elect to pay or
declare and set apart for

                                       9

payment a regular periodic cash dividend on any shares of Common Stock, the
Holder of this  Warrant  shall be entitled to receive  such  dividend as if this
Warrant had then been exercised.

the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without  charge to the Holder of this
Warrant  for any issue  tax in  respect  thereof;  provided,  however,  that the

any transfer  involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name
other than that of the then Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

vote or to consent as a shareholder in respect of meetings of  shareholders  for
the  election of  directors  of the  Company or any other  matters or any rights
whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence
of affirmative  action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock,  and no
mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof,  shall
give  rise to any  liability  of such  holder  for the  Exercise  Price  or as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or
by its creditors.

     10.1 Transferability.  The Warrant and Warrant Stock shall be transferable,

to  the  conditions   specified  in  this  Section  10  and  by  any  applicable
restrictions  set  forth  in  Section  6.3  of  the  Purchase  Agreement,  which

provisions of the Securities Act. Each Holder will cause any proposed transferee
of the  Warrant  or  Warrant  Stock to agree  to take and hold  such  securities
subject to the provisions  and upon the conditions  specified in this Section 10
and by the restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement if and to the extent
that such  securities  continue to be restricted  securities in the hands of the
transferee.  Each taker and  Holder of this  Warrant,  by taking or holding  the
same,  consents and agrees that this Warrant,  when endorsed in blank,  shall be
deemed negotiable, and that the Holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been
so endorsed,  may be treated by the Company and all other  persons  dealing with
this  Warrant as the  absolute  owner  hereof for any  purpose and as the person
entitled to  exercise  the rights  represented  by this  Warrant;  but until the
transfer  hereof  on the  books  of the  Company,  the  Company  may  treat  the
registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

the address indicated in the first paragraph of this Warrant or shall be sent by
facsimile transmission to any number provided by a Holder or the Company for the
purpose of this Section 12.

     13. Binding  Effect on  Successors.  This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation  succeeding the Company by merger,  consolidation  or acquisition of

any Warrant or stock  certificate  and,  in the case of any such loss,  theft or
destruction,  upon  receipt  of an  indemnity  reasonably  satisfactory  to  the
Company,  or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and  cancellation
of such Warrant or stock  certificate,  the Company at its expense will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate,  of like tenor, in lieu of the lost,
stolen,  destroyed or mutilated  Warrant or stock  certificate.

     17.  Fractional  Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay
to the Holder  entitled  to such  fraction

                                       11
