         2.       Exercise of Warrant.
                  -------------------

         2.1.     Manner of Exercise. From and after the date hereof, and until
5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Expiration Date (the "Exercise Period"), the
Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of
the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder, subject to Section
14 hereof.

         In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder
shall deliver to the Company at its principal office or at the office or agency
designated by the Company pursuant to Section 11, (i) an original written notice
of Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the
number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the Warrant
Price as provided herein, and (iii) this Warrant. Such notice shall be
substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this
Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon
receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event
within three Business Days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon
such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall
be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the Holder
shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or
such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be
deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to
be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such
shares for all purposes, as of the date when the notice, together with the
payment of the Warrant Price and this Warrant, is received by the Company as
described above. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing
Warrant Stock, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this

                                       4
<PAGE>

Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on
this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.

         If the Company intentionally and willfully fails to deliver to the
holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 2.1 (free of
any restrictions on transfer or legends, if such shares have been registered) in
accordance herewith, prior to the seventh trading day after the receipt by the
Company of (i) an original written notice of Holder's election to exercise this
Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be
purchased, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein, and (iii) this
Warrant (the "Date of Receipt"), the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash,
on a per diem basis, an amount equal to 2% of the value of the undelivered
Warrant Stock (based on the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Date
of Receipt) per month until such delivery takes place.

         Payment of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder
by: (i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company,
(ii) wire transfer to the account of the Company or (iii) the surrender and
cancellation of a portion of shares of Common Stock then held by the Holder or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, which shall be valued and credited
toward the total Warrant Price due the Company for the exercise of the Warrant
based upon the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. All shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof
shall be validly issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be fully
paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.

         2.2.     Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights under
which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to
purchase upon such exercise, the Company may pay an amount in cash equal to the
Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise
multiplied by such fraction.

         2.3.     Continued Validity. A Holder of shares of Common Stock issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a Holder who
acquires such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144
thereunder), shall continue to be entitled with respect to such shares to all
rights to which it would have been entitled as the Holder under Sections 10 and
13 of this Warrant.

         2.4.      Restrictions on Exercise Amount. In the event the Company is
prohibited from issuing shares of Warrant Stock as a result of any restrictions
or prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock
exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization,
the Company shall as soon as possible seek the approval of its stockholders and
take such other action to authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

         3.       Transfer, Division and Combination.
                  ----------------------------------

         3.1.     Transfer. The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely
transferable, subject to compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not

                                       5
<PAGE>

limited to the Securities Act. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant
in connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant
Stock, this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered
under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing
such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant
Stock as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer
may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder
or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form
and substance acceptable to the Company and substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit C hereto and (iii) that the transferee be an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this
Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be
maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or agency
designated by the Company pursuant to Section 11, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies
with the requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by a new
Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the
Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company.

         3.2.     Restrictive Legends. Each certificate for Warrant Stock
initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for
Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate,
unless, in each case, such Warrant Stock is eligible for resale without
registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Exchange Act, shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following form:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR
TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID
ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED."

         3.3.     Division and Combination; Expenses; Books. This Warrant may be
divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the
aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with
Section 3.1 as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3. The Company agrees to

                                       6
<PAGE>

maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the
registration of transfer of the Warrants.

         4.       Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased
upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any
event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in
accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

         4.1.     Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall:

                  (i)      declare a dividend or make a distribution on its
outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,

                  (ii)     subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

                  (iii)    combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then:

         (1)      the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise
of this Warrant immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be
adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of
the same number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquirable under
this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or
distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination would own
or be entitled to receive after such record date or the effective date of such
subdivision or combination, as applicable, provided that if such adjustment
would result in a fractional share being acquirable pursuant hereto (but for
Section 2.2), then the number of shares acquirable pursuant hereto as so
adjusted shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares, and

         (2)      the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal:

                  (A)      the Current Warrant Price in effect at the time of
         the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective
         date of such subdivision or combination, multiplied by the number of
         shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable
         immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by

                  (B)      the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
         Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

      Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any
adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.

         4.2.     Certain Other Distributions. If at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution of:

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  (i)      cash,

                  (ii)     any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of
stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature
whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in
Section 4.1 hereof), or

                  (iii)    any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever, then:

                  (1)      the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
         exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to equal the product of the
         number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this
         Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or
         distribution, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall
         be the Current Warrant Price per share of Common Stock at the date of
         taking such record and (y) the denominator of which shall be such
         Current Warrant Price minus the amount allocable to one share of Common
         Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as
         determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of
         any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other
         securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase
         rights so distributable; and

                  (2)      the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior
         to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to
         receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal (x) the Current
         Warrant Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
         acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the
         adjustment, divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock
         acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after such
         adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change
         in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to
         par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of
         stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of
         its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the
         meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common
         Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of
         Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be
         deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
         outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.

         4.3.     Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments. The following
provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and the Current
Warrant Price provided for in Section 4:

                  (a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring
an adjustment shall occur, except that any that would otherwise be required may
be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of
the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date
of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not

                                       8
<PAGE>

previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock
into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such
adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum
amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and
made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by
this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or
on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event
shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its
occurrence.

                  (b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to
the nearest 1/100th of a share.

                  (c) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company undertakes a
transaction contemplated under this Section 4 and as a result takes a record of
the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights or other benefits
contemplated under this Section 4 and shall, thereafter and before the
distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver
such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights or other benefits
contemplated under this Section 4, then thereafter no adjustment shall be
required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment
previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

                  (d) Escrow of Stock. If after any property becomes
distributable pursuant to Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the
holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such
record is taken, a holder of this Warrant exercises the Warrant during such
time, then such holder shall continue to be entitled to receive any shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereunder by reason of such adjustment and
such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the holder of this
Warrant by the Company to be issued to holder of this Warrant upon and to the
extent that the event actually takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision
to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to
occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be canceled by the
Company and escrowed property returned to the Company.

         4.4.     Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets.

                  (a) If there shall occur a Change of Control which is approved
by the Company's Board of Directors and pursuant to the terms of such Change of
Control, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or
any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in
addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation
("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of
Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Warrant shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the number of
shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and the Other Property receivable
upon or as a result of such Change of Control by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior
to such event.

                  (b) In case of any such Change of Control described above the
successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) and, if an entity
different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock

                                       9
<PAGE>

or assets the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of
such transaction, shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and
performance of each and every covenant and condition contained in this Warrant
to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and
liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed
appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock into
which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4. For purposes of
Section 4, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall include
stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or
assets on liquidation over any other class of stock of such corporation and
which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a
specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of
this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive Change of Control
transactions.

         4.5.     Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or
from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common
Stock, other than the payment of dividends permitted by Section 4 or any other
action described in Section 4, then, unless such action will not have a
materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holder of this Warrant, the
number of shares of Common Stock or other stock into which this Warrant is
exercisable and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner
as may be equitable in the circumstances; provided, that the mere authorization
or issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company (other than
pursuant to a stock dividend) shall not be considered any action in respect of
its Common Stock.

         4.6.     Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason
of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Current Warrant Price to be less
than the par value per share of Common Stock.

         4.7.     Stock Transfer Taxes. The issue of stock certificates upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder for any tax
in respect of such issue. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and
delivery of shares in any name other than that of the holder of this Warrant,
and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock
certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof
shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established
to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

         5.       Notices to Warrant Holders.
                  --------------------------

         5.1.     Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of the Current Warrant Price, the Company, at its
expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder of this Warrant a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company

                                       10
<PAGE>

shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant,
furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth
(i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Current Warrant Price at the
time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if
any, or other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of
Warrants owned by such Holder.

         5.2.     Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:

                  (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than
a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for
the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of
the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase
any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, or

                  (b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company,
any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or
any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation, or

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

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i)
at least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall
be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights
to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, at least 20 days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify
(i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount
and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the
Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company
and delivered in accordance with Section 15.2.

         5.3.     No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to
exercise and payment for the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms hereof.

         6.       No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including,
without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any

                                       11
<PAGE>

reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the
taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par
value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to
obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public
regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Upon the request of the
Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is
outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to the Holder, the
continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company
hereunder.

         7.       Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock; Registration
With Approval of Any Governmental Authority. From and after the date hereof, the
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the
exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding
Warrants (without regard to any ownership limitations provided in Section
2.4(i)). All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon
exercise of any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of
such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable,
and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action which would cause
an adjustment reducing the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if
any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the
Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of
such Common Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price. Before taking any
action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Current Warrant Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with
any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may
be so issued (other than as a result of a prior or contemplated distribution by
the Holder of this Warrant), the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously
as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered.

         8.       Taking of Record; Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. In the
case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of
its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the
taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such
a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business
Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer
books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any
Warrant.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         9.       Supplying Information. Upon any default by the Company of its
obligations hereunder, the Company shall cooperate with the Holder in supplying
such information as may be reasonably necessary for such Holder to complete and
file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the
Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the
Securities Act for the sale of any Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.

         10.      Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company from the
Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable
expenses incidental thereto and in case of mutilation upon surrender and
cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new
Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, however, that in the case of
mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form
is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

         11.      Office of the Company. As long as any of the Warrants remain
outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the
principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented
for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in
this Warrant.

         12.      Financial and Business Information.
                  ----------------------------------

         12.1.    Quarterly Information. The Company will deliver to the Holder,
as soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of each of
the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, one copy of an
unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at
the end of such quarter, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of
income, retained earnings and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries for
such quarter and, in the case of the second and third quarters, for the portion
of the fiscal year ending with such quarter, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the corresponding periods in the previous
fiscal year. Such financial statements shall be prepared by the Company in
accordance with GAAP and accompanied by the certification of the Company's chief
executive officer or chief financial officer that such financial statements
present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and
cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and
for such year-to-date period, as the case may be; provided, however, that the
Company shall have no obligation to deliver such quarterly information under
this Section 12.1 to the extent it is publicly available; and provided further,
that if such information contains material non-public information, the Company
shall so notify the Holder prior to delivery thereof and the Holder shall have
the right to refuse delivery of such information.

         12.2.    Annual Information. The Company will deliver to the Holder as
soon as available and in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Company, one copy of an audited consolidated balance sheet of the
Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such year, and audited
consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow of the
Company and its subsidiaries for such year; setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the corresponding periods in the previous
fiscal year; all prepared in accordance with GAAP, and which audited financial
statements shall be accompanied by an opinion thereon of the independent
certified public accountants regularly retained by the Company, or any other

                                       13
<PAGE>

firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing
selected by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall have no
obligation to deliver such annual information under this Section 12.2 to the
extent it is publicly available; and provided further, that if such information
contains material non-public information, the Company shall so notify the Holder
prior to delivery thereof and the Holder shall have the right to refuse delivery
of such information.

         12.3.    Filings. The Company will file on or before the required date
all regular or periodic reports (pursuant to the Exchange Act) with the
Commission and will deliver to Holder promptly upon their becoming available one
copy of each report, notice or proxy statement sent by the Company to its
stockholders generally.

         13.      Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence
of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give
rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock,
whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.

         14.      Adjustment of Amount of Warrant Stock Exercisable.
                  -------------------------------------------------

         The number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon the
exercise from time to time pursuant to this Warrant shall be as follows:

         (a)      173,307 if the Company has borrowed an Additional Tranche or
Additional Tranches in an aggregate amount not exceeding $50,000;

         (b)      346,614 if the Company has borrowed an Additional Tranche
or Additional Tranches in an aggregate amount greater than $50,000, but not
exceeding $100,000;

         (c)      519,921 if the Company has borrowed an Additional Tranche or
Additional Tranches in an aggregate amount greater than $100,000, but not

         (d)      693,228 if the Company has borrowed an Additional Tranche or

         (e)      866,534 if the Company has borrowed an Additional Tranche or
Additional Tranches in an aggregate amount greater than $200,000.

         15.      Miscellaneous.
                  -------------

         15.1.    Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or
remedies. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for
hereunder, or fails to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
third party costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing
any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

In connection with the acquisition of [warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase
____ shares of common stock of Somanta Incorporated (the "Company"), par value

incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the
Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such

Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated thereby (including, but not limited to, the sale and delivery of
the Preferred Stock and Warrants) have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the
Company, its Board of Directors or its shareholders in connection therewith. The
issuance and delivery of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further
action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its shareholders in
connection therewith. Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will
have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with
the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to
laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and rules
of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable
remedies.

         (d)      No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Company's or any Subsidiary's certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents,
or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that 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 (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other

Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected, except, in the cases of clause

Material Adverse Effect.

in accordance with the Transaction Documents, (i) will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens, other than

pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants.

         (g)      Capitalization.

                  (i)      Including shares issued in connection with the
acquisition of all of the capital stock of Somanta Incorporated, the entire
authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (A) 100,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, 14,274,352 of which are issued and outstanding, and (B) 20,000,000

                                       11
<PAGE>

rights or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person
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 (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.

         (h)      SEC Reports; Financial Statements; Liabilities.

                  (i)      The Company has filed all reports required to be
filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, for the 12 months preceding the date
hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law to file such
material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto, being
collectively referred to herein as the "SEC Reports") on a timely basis or has
received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC
Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective
filing dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and
the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, as
applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates,
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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

                  (ii)     The financial statements of the Company and any
acquired entities included in the SEC Reports comply with applicable accounting
requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect
thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States, applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
("GAAP"), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or
the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain
all footnotes required by GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments.
Such financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, if any, as of and for
the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods
then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end
audit adjustments.

                  (iii)    Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, and except
for liabilities and obligations incurred since April 30, 2005 in the ordinary
course of business, consistent with past practice, as of the date hereof: (i)
the Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or
obligations (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) and (ii) there has not
been any aspect of the prior or current conduct of the business of the Company
or its Subsidiaries which may form the basis for any material claim by any third
party which if asserted could result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (i)      Material Changes. Since April 30, 2005 and except as set forth
in the SEC Reports and on Schedule 3.1(i), the Company has conducted its

                  (ii)     any amendments or changes in the charter documents of
the Company and its Subsidiaries;

                  (iii)    any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not
covered by insurance, that would, individually or in the aggregate, have or
would be reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and
its Subsidiaries;

                  (iv)     any:

                           (A) incurrence, assumption or guarantee by the
Company or its Subsidiaries of any debt for borrowed money other than (i)

practice and (ii) any such incurrence, assumption or guarantee with respect to

purchase plans of the Company;

                           (C) issuance or sale of options or other rights to

securities, other than options issued to directors, employees and consultants in
the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice;

                           (D) issuance or sale of any stock, bond or other
corporate security other than to directors, employees and consultants pursuant
to existing equity compensation or stock purchase plans of the Company;

                           (E) discharge or satisfaction of any material Lien of
the Company or its Subsidiaries;

                           (F) declaration or making any payment or distribution
to stockholders or purchase or redemption of any share of its capital stock or
other security other than to directors, officers and employees of the Company or
its Subsidiaries as compensation for services rendered to the Company or its
Subsidiary (as applicable) or for reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf
of the Company or its Subsidiary (as applicable);

                           (G) sale, assignment or transfer of any of the
intangible assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries except in the ordinary
course of business, consistent with past practice, or cancellation of any debt
or claim except in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past
practice;

                           (H) waiver of any right of substantial value of the
Company or its Subsidiaries whether or not in the ordinary course of business;

                                       13
<PAGE>

                           (I) material change in officer compensation of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, except in the ordinary course of business and
consistent with past practice; or

                           (J) other commitment (contingent or otherwise) of the
Company or its Subsidiaries to do any of the foregoing.

                  (v)      any creation, sufferance or assumption by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries of any Lien on any asset or any making of any loan,
advance or capital contribution to or investment in any Person, in an aggregate
amount which exceeds $25,000 outstanding at any time;

                  (vi)     any entry into, amendment of, relinquishment,
termination or non-renewal by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any material
contract, license, lease, transaction, commitment or other right or obligation,
other than in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice; or

                  (vii)    any transfer or grant of a right with respect to the
patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade secrets, copyrights or
other intellectual property rights owned or licensed by the Company or its
Subsidiaries, except as among the Company and its Subsidiaries.

         (j)      Litigation. There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of
violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, threatened against the Company, any Subsidiary or
any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator,
governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state,
county, local or foreign) (collectively, an "Action") which (i) adversely
affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the
Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were an
unfavorable decision, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary, nor, to the knowledge of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any
Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state
securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. To the knowledge of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, there has not been and there is not pending or
contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or its
Subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer of the Company or its
Subsidiaries. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company
or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

         (k)      Labor Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the
knowledge of the Company or its Subsidiaries, is imminent with respect to any of
the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries which could have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

         (l)      Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in
default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been
waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by
the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary
received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in
violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in
violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii)

                                       14
<PAGE>

is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state
and local laws applicable to its business, except in the case of clauses (i) and
(iii) as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

         (m)      Licenses; Compliance With Regulatory Requirements. The Company
and its Subsidiaries hold all material authorizations, consents, approvals,
franchises, licenses and permits required under applicable law or regulation for
the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as presently
operated (the "Governmental Authorizations"). All the Governmental
Authorizations have been duly issued or obtained and are in full force and
effect, and the Company and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with the
terms of all the Governmental Authorizations. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have not engaged in any activity that, to their knowledge, would cause
revocation or suspension of any such Governmental Authorizations. The Company
has no knowledge of any facts which could reasonably be expected to cause the
Company to believe that the Governmental Authorizations will not be renewed by
the appropriate governmental authorities in the ordinary course. Neither the
execution, delivery nor performance of this Agreement shall adversely affect the
status of any of the Governmental Authorizations.

         (n)      Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not own
any real property, and have good and marketable title to all personal property
owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except
those, if any, reflected in the Company's financial statements. Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases (subject to laws of
general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and rules
of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable
remedies) with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in material
compliance.

         (o)      Intellectual Property.

                  (i)      The Company or a Subsidiary thereof has the right to
use or is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and
to all foreign and domestic patents, patent rights, trademarks, service marks,
trade names, brands and copyrights (whether or not registered and, if
applicable, including pending applications for registration) owned, used or
controlled by the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Rights") and
in and to each material invention, software, trade secret, technology, product,
composition, formula and method of process used by the Company or its
Subsidiaries (the Rights and such other items, the "Intellectual Property"),
and, to the Company's and its Subsidiaries' knowledge, has the right to use the
same, free and clear of any claim or conflict with the rights of others;

                  (ii)     other than as set forth in the SEC Reports, no
royalties or fees (license or otherwise) are payable by the Company or its
Subsidiaries to any Person by reason of the ownership or use of any of the
Intellectual Property;

                  (iii)    there have been no claims made against the Company or
its Subsidiaries asserting the invalidity, abuse, misuse, or unenforceability of
any of the Intellectual Property, and, to the best of the Company's knowledge,
there are no reasonable grounds for any such claims;

                                       15
<PAGE>

                  (iv)     neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have made
any claim of any violation or infringement by others of its rights in the
Intellectual Property, and to the best of the Company's knowledge, no reasonable
grounds for such claims exist; and

                  (v)      neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have
received notice that it is in conflict with or infringing upon the asserted
rights of others in connection with the Intellectual Property.

         (p)      Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the
Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. All of the insurance policies of the
Company and its Subsidiaries are in full force and effect and are valid and
enforceable in accordance with their terms, and the Company and its Subsidiaries
have complied with all material terms and conditions thereof. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to
obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business without a significant increase in cost.

         (q)      Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set
forth on Schedule 3.1(q), none of the officers or directors of the Company or
its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company and its Subsidiaries, none
of the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries is presently a party to any
transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as
employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, any entity in which any officer, director, or any
such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner, other than (a) for payment of salary or consulting fees for services
rendered, (b) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and
(c) for other employee benefits, including stock option agreements and other
stock awards under any equity compensation plan of the Company.

         (r)      Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of the
Subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient in
the judgment of the Company's management to provide reasonable assurance that
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance
with management's general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating
to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which the Company's Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being
prepared. The Company's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of

                                       16
<PAGE>

the Company's controls and procedures as of October 31, 2005. The Company will
present in its next Form 10-QSB, the conclusions of the certifying officers
about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of October 31, 2005. Since April 30, 2005, there have been no
significant changes in the Company's internal controls (as such term is defined
in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company's
knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's
internal controls.

         (s)      Certain Fees. Except for fees payable to SCO Securities LLC,
no brokerage or finder's fees or commissions are or will be payable by the
Company or its Subsidiaries to any broker, financial advisor or consultant,
finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchasers shall have no
obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on
behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may
be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         (t)      Private Placement; Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy
of the Purchasers representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no
registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the
Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby. The issuance
and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and
regulations of the OTC Bulletin Board. 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 and would as a result require registration under the
Securities Act or trigger 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.

         (u)      Charter, Bylaws and Corporate Records. The minute books of the
Company and its Subsidiaries contain in all material respects complete and
accurate records of all meetings and other corporate actions of the board of
directors, committees of the board of directors, incorporators and stockholders
of the Company and its Subsidiaries from the date of incorporation of each such
entity to the date hereof. All material corporate decisions and actions have
been validly made or taken. All corporate books, including without limitation
the share transfer register, comply in all material respects with applicable
laws and regulations and have been regularly updated.

         (v)      Registration Rights. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(v)
and under the Investor Rights Agreement, no Person has any right to cause the
Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of
the Company.

         (w)      Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company has not, in
the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the OTC Bulletin
Board or any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or
quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements of the OTC Bulletin Board or such Trading Market. The
Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable

                                       17
<PAGE>

future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance
requirements.

         (x)      Taxes. All tax returns and tax reports required to be filed
with respect to the income, operations, business or assets of the Company and
its Subsidiaries have been timely filed (or appropriate extensions have been
obtained) with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in
which such returns and reports are required to be filed, and all of the
foregoing as filed are, in all material respects, correct and complete and, in
all material respects, reflect accurately all liability for taxes of the Company
and its Subsidiaries for the periods to which such returns relate, and all
amounts shown as owing thereon have been paid. All income, profits, franchise,
sales, use, value added, occupancy, property, excise, payroll, withholding,
FICA, FUTA and other taxes (including interest and penalties), if any,
collectible or payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries or relating to or
chargeable against any of its material assets, revenues or income or relating to
any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party
through the Closing Date, were fully collected and paid by such date if due by
such date or provided for by adequate reserves in the financial statements
contained in the SEC Reports as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2005
(other than taxes accruing after such date) and all similar items due through
the Closing Date will have been fully paid by that date or provided for by
adequate reserves, whether or not any such taxes were reported or reflected in
any tax returns or filings. No taxation authority has sought to audit the
records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of verifying
or disputing any tax returns, reports or related information and disclosures
provided to such taxation authority, or for the Company's or any of its
Subsidiaries' alleged failure to provide any such tax returns, reports or
related information and disclosure. No material claims or deficiencies have been
asserted against or inquiries raised with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
with respect to any taxes or other governmental charges or levies which have not
been paid or otherwise satisfied, including claims that, or inquiries whether,
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has not filed a tax return that it was
required to file, and, to the best of the Company's and its Subsidiaries'
knowledge, there exists no reasonable basis for the making of any such claims or
inquiries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has waived any
restrictions on assessment or collection of taxes or consented to the extension
of any statute of limitations relating to taxation.

         (y)      Environmental Matters. None of the premises or any properties
owned, occupied or leased by the Company or its Subsidiaries (the "Premises")
has been used by the Company or the Subsidiaries or, to the Company's knowledge,
by any other Person, to manufacture, treat, store, or dispose of any substance
that has been designated to be a "hazardous substance" under applicable
Environmental Laws (hereinafter defined) ("Hazardous Substances") in violation
of any applicable Environmental Laws. To their knowledge, the Company and its
Subsidiaries have not disposed of, discharged, emitted or released any Hazardous
Substances which would require, under applicable Environmental Laws,
remediation, investigation or similar response activity. No Hazardous Substances
are present as a result of the actions of the Company or its Subsidiaries or, to
the Company's or its Subsidiaries' knowledge, any other Person, in, on or under
the Premises which would give rise to any liability or clean-up obligations of
the Company or its Subsidiaries under applicable Environmental Laws. The Company
and its Subsidiaries and, to the Company's or its Subsidiaries knowledge, any
other Person for whose conduct it may be responsible pursuant to an agreement or
by operation of law, are in compliance with all laws, regulations and other
federal, state or local governmental requirements, and all applicable judgments,
orders, writs, notices, decrees, permits, licenses, approvals, consents or

                                       18
<PAGE>

injunctions in effect on the date of this Agreement relating to the generation,
management, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal, storage, delivery,
discharge, release or emission of any Hazardous Substance (the "Environmental
Laws"). Neither the Company or its Subsidiaries nor, to the Company's or its
Subsidiaries' knowledge, any other Person for whose conduct it may be
responsible pursuant to an agreement or by operation of law has received any
written complaint, notice, order, or citation of any actual, threatened or
alleged noncompliance with any of the Environmental Laws, and there is no
proceeding, suit or investigation pending or, to the Company's or its
Subsidiaries' knowledge, threatened against the Company or its Subsidiaries or,
to the Company's or its Subsidiaries' knowledge, any such Person with respect to
any violation or alleged violation of the Environmental Laws, and, to the
knowledge of the Company or its Subsidiaries, there is no basis for the
institution of any such proceeding, suit or investigation.

         (z)      Somanta Incorporated. The Company has acquired all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Somanta Incorporated prior to the date
hereof. The Company had the requisite corporate power and authority to
consummate the acquisition of the capital stock of Somanta Incorporated. There
is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or its Subsidiaries, threatened
against the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before
or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory
authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) which adversely affects or
challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of the acquisition of the
capital stock of Somanta Incorporated or any agreement or contract entered into
in connection therewith.

         (aa)      Disclosure. All disclosure provided to the Purchasers
regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this
Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company are true and correct and do

corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and
when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser,

other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and rules of law
governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

         (b)      General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the
Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or
similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar
or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

         (c)      No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Purchaser is (i)
acquiring the Preferred Shares and Warrants and (ii) upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock will acquire the Conversion Shares and upon exercise of the
Warrants will acquire the Warrant Shares, in each case, for its own account and
not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or
distribution thereof; provided, however, that by making the representations
herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any
minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the
Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is acquiring
the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser
does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any
Person to distribute any of the Securities.

         (d)      Accredited Investor Status. Such Purchaser is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

         (e)      Residency. Such Purchaser is a resident of the jurisdiction
set forth below such Purchaser's name on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

         (f)      Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the
Preferred Shares and Warrants are being offered and sold to it in reliance on
specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal
and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth
and accuracy of, and such Purchaser's compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set
forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the
eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Preferred Shares and Warrants.

         (g)      Information. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have
been furnished with all publicly available materials relating to the business,
finances and operations of the Company and such other publicly available
materials relating to the offer and sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants as
have been requested by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any. Such Purchaser
and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations
conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives
shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser's right to rely on the Company's
representations and warranties contained herein. Such Purchaser understands that
its investment in the Preferred Shares and Warrants involves a high degree of
risk.

         (h)      No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no
United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Preferred
Shares and Warrants or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the

                                       20

Preferred Shares and Warrants, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed
the merits of the offering of the Preferred Shares and Warrants.

         (i)      Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or
together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters, including investing in companies
engaged in the business in which the Company is engaged, so as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Preferred
Shares and Warrants, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such
investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in
the Preferred Shares and Warrants and, at the present time, is able to afford a
complete loss of such investment.

         The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make
or has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this
Section 3.2 and in Section 4.13.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

         4.1      Transfer Restrictions.
                  ---------------------

         (a)      The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with
state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to
an Affiliate of a Purchaser (who is an accredited investor and executes a
customary representation letter) or in connection with a pledge as contemplated
in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to
the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and
substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to
the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
Securities under the Securities Act, provided, however, that in the case of a
transfer pursuant to Rule 144, no opinion shall be required if the transferor
provides the Company with a customary seller's representation letter, and if
such sale is not pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144, a customary broker's
representation letter and a Form 144. Any such transferee that agrees in writing
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement
shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Investor
Rights Agreement. Except as required by federal securities laws and the
securities law of any state or other jurisdiction within the United States, the
Securities may be transferred, in whole or in part, by any of the Purchasers at
any time. The Company shall reissue certificates evidencing the Securities upon
surrender of certificates evidencing the Securities being transferred in
accordance with this Section 4.1(a).

         (b)      The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required
by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in substantially
the following form:

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT

                                       21
<PAGE>

TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

         The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to
time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a
financial institution that is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act 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 opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or
pledgor shall be required in connection therewith; provided, however, that such
Purchaser shall provide the Company with such documentation as is reasonably
requested by the Company to ensure that the pledge is pursuant to a bona fide
margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or a security interest in some
or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Company will
execute and deliver such 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) under the Securities Act or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling
stockholders thereunder.

         (c)      Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not contain any
legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) following any
sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) if such Securities are
eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iii) if such legend is not required
under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). The
Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company's
transfer agent promptly upon the occurrence of any of the events in clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) above to effect the removal of the legend hereunder and shall also
cause its counsel to issue a "blanket" legal opinion to the Company's transfer
agent promptly after the Effective Date, if required by the Company's transfer
agent, to allow sales pursuant to an effective Registration Statement. The
Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this
Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery
by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate
representing Securities issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is
free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any
notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the
Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

                                       22
<PAGE>

         (d)      If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt,
pursuant to Section 4.1(c), of a legended certificate representing Securities,
the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to such Purchaser a certificate
representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other
legends, and if on or after such Trading Day the Purchaser purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of shares of Common Stock that the
Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company (the "Sold Anticipated Shares")
without any restrictive legend (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within
three (3) Trading Days after the Purchaser's request and in the Purchaser's sole
discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the
Purchaser's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the
Company's obligation to deliver such certificate with respect to the Sold
Anticipated Shares shall terminate and such Securities shall be cancelled, or
(ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Purchaser a certificate or
certificates representing such Sold Anticipated Shares and pay cash to the
Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the Buy-In Price
minus (B) the product of (1) such number of shares of Common Stock, and (2) the
closing bid price on the date of delivery of such legended certificate.

         (e)      Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees that the
removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as
set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company's reliance on, and
the Purchaser's agreement that, and each Purchaser hereby agrees that, the
Purchaser will not sell any Securities except pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

         4.2      Furnishing of Information.
                  -------------------------

         As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to
timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the
applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after
the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request of any such
holder of Securities, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written
certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with
the preceding sentence. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company
is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare
and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with
Rule 144(c), such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the
Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such
further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rule 144.

         4.3      Integration.
                  -----------

         The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or
otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the
Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated
with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of the OTC Bulletin Board or any Trading Market.

pursuant to this Agreement, from the date hereof until the earlier of 120
calendar days after the Initial Closing Date or 15 calendar days after the
Effective Date, the Company shall not effect an issuance of its Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this
Section 4.4 shall not apply to the following: (a) the granting of options or
other equity compensation awards or the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents to employees, independent contractors, officers and directors of the
Company pursuant to any equity compensation plan duly adopted by a majority of
the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority
of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such
purpose (and the exercise of such options or Common Stock Equivalents), or (b)
the exercise of any security issued by the Company in connection with the offer
and sale of the Company's securities pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) the
exercise of or conversion of any convertible securities, options or warrants

or Common Stock Equivalents in connection with acquisitions or strategic

purpose of which is not to raise capital, or (e) the issuance of securities
pursuant to a stock split or stock dividend or similar capital modification, or
(f) the issuance of securities upon the authorization of the Company's Board of
Directors in connection with business conducted by the Company with vendors,
lessors or financial institutions in connection with financing transactions, or

                  ---------

immediately following execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue a
press release reasonably acceptable to the SCO Securities LLC disclosing all
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall,
within four Business Days following the date of this Agreement, file a Current
Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and make
such other filings and notices prior to and following the Closing Date in the
manner and time required by the Commission with respect thereto. The Company and
SCO Securities LLC shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases

nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such
public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any
press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of SCO Securities
LLC, with respect to any press release of the Company, except if such disclosure
is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide
the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name
of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any press release or
filing with the Commission (other than the Registration Statement) or any
regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such
Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading
Market regulations, in which case, to the extent that the Company is permitted
and reasonably able to do so, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchasers
with prior notice of such disclosure.

         4.6      Shareholders Rights Plan.
                  ------------------------

         No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or any other Person
that any Purchaser is an "acquiring person" under any shareholders rights plan
or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or
that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or
arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents
or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

         4.7      Non-Public Information.
                  ----------------------

         The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person
acting on its behalf will after the date hereof provide any Purchaser or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have
executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be
relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.

         4.8      Use of Proceeds.
                  ---------------

         The Company covenants and agrees that the proceeds from the sale of the

general corporate purposes; under no circumstances shall any portion of the

         (v)      any expenditure not directly related to the business of the
Company.

         4.9      Reservation of Preferred Stock and Common Stock.
                  -----------------------------------------------

         As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall

Market in accordance with the applicable rules thereof. The Company further
agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other
Trading Market, it will include in such application the Conversion Shares and

Stock and Warrants under this Agreement.

         (c)      State Securities Law Compliance --Resale. Beginning no later

under Section 18(b)(1)(A) of the Securities Act, the Company shall maintain

Company's Common Stock for the period beginning on the fifteenth (15th) day
prior to the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the Closing
Date or (b) the date that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are

                    INDEMNIFICATION, TERMINATION AND DAMAGES

         5.1      Survival of Representations.
                  ---------------------------

         Except as otherwise provided herein, the representations and warranties
of the Company and the Purchasers contained in or made pursuant to this
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of three
(3) years from the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company's
warranties and representations under Sections 3.1(a) (Subsidiaries), 3.1(b)
(Organization and Qualification), 3.1 (c) (Authorization; Enforceability), and
3.1(g) (Capitalization), shall survive the Closing Date and continue in full
force and effect indefinitely and Sections 3,1(x) (Taxes) and 3.1(y)
(Environmental Matters) shall survive the Closing Date and continue in full
force and effect until the date that is six months following the expiration of
all applicable statutes of limitation. The Company's and the Purchasers'
warranties and representations shall in no way be affected or diminished in any
way by any investigation of (or failure to investigate) the subject matter
thereof made by or on behalf of the Company or the Purchasers.

         5.2      Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchasers, their Affiliates, each of their officers, directors,
employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and
against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (i)
any breach or default in the performance by the Company of any covenant or
agreement made by the Company in this Agreement or in any of the Transaction
Documents; (ii) any breach of warranty or representation made by the Company in
this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents; and/or (iii) any and all
third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the
foregoing.

         5.3      Indemnity Procedure.
                  -------------------

         A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to
indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as
the "Indemnifying Party" and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is
referred to as the "Indemnified Party". An Indemnified Party under this
Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third
party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which
might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60)
Business Days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but
not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any answer or responsive
pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified
Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying
Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided,
however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the
Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are
materially prejudiced.

                                       28

         If the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in a writing delivered to
the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated under the
terms of their indemnification obligations hereunder in connection with such
third party claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its
election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written
notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time
when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is
required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the
defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the
Indemnified Party's approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such
defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the
claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior
notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement
involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the
Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as
the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith,
the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and
the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal
counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding
include both parties or representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, due to
conflicts of interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such
election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of
the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the
Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed
to handle such claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound
by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith
with respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will
fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to
take over the defense of any such claim. The parties agree to cooperate in
defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such
cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the
Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which
indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate
with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.

         With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is
payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party
upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the
Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if
earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the
right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or
final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of
the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable expenses of counsel to
the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying
Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable
hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party
upon demand by the Indemnified Party.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

         6.1      Fees and Expenses.
                  -----------------

         The Company shall be responsible for the payment of the Purchasers'
documented legal fees and other third-party expenses relating to the
preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein,
including any unpaid amounts due and owing to the Purchasers' counsel and

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

         The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules
thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings,
oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge
have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

         6.3      Notices.
                  -------

         Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or
permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given

         6.4      Amendments; Waivers.
                  -------------------

         No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a
written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and each
Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of
any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a
waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any
delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement may be amended by the Company without the consent of the Purchasers
(other than SCO Securities LLC, which must agree pursuant to Section 2.1(c)) by
supplementing Schedule 1 with respect to Purchasers in any Additional Closing
and by adding any such Purchasers as parties to this Agreement in accordance
with Sections 2.1(c) and (d).

         6.5      Construction.
                  ------------

         The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part
of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the
language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party.

         6.6      Successors and Assigns.
                  ----------------------

         This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Purchaser. Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights
under this Agreement to any Person, provided such transferee agrees in writing
to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions
hereof that apply to the Purchasers.

                                       31
<PAGE>

         6.7      No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
                  ----------------------------

         This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of,
nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as
otherwise set forth in Article V.

         6.8      Governing Law.
                  -------------

         All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

         6.9      Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.
                  ---------------------------------------

         This Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Federal District Court, Southern District of New York and if such court does not
have proper jurisdiction, the State Courts of New York County, New York. The
parties to this Agreement agree that any breach of any term or condition of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a breach occurring in the State of New York by
virtue of a failure to perform an act required to be performed in the State of
New York and irrevocably and expressly agree to submit to the jurisdiction of
the Federal District Court, Southern District of New York and if such court does
not have proper jurisdiction, the State Courts of New York County, New York for
the purpose of resolving any disputes among the parties relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties irrevocably
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any judgment entered by any
court in respect hereof brought in New York County, New York, and further
irrevocably waive any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in
Federal District Court, Southern District of New York and if such court does not
have proper jurisdiction, the State Courts of New York County, New York has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding, by mailing a copy thereof
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 6.9 shall affect or limit
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

         6.10     Execution.
                  ---------

         This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not
sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page
were an original thereof.

                                       32
<PAGE>

         6.11     Severability.
                  ------------

         If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining
terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and
enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

         6.12     Replacement of Securities.
                  -------------------------

         If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be
issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in
lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested by the
Company.

         6.13     Remedies.
                  --------

         In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or
granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the
Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction
Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations
described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.

         6.14     Payment Set Aside.
                  -----------------

         To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any
Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or
exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of
such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged
by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company,
a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the extent
permissible under applicable law, be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had
not occurred.

         6.15     Cancellation of Promissory Note.
                  -------------------------------

        SCO agrees that all of the obligations of Somanta Incorporated and the
Company under the Promissory Note and the Promissory Note itself shall be
cancelled upon the consummation of the Initial Closing and the delivery of the
Preferred Stock and Warrants in consideration for the surrender and cancellation
of the Promissory Note.

         6.16     Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights.
                  --------------------------------------------------------

         The obligations 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 constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Document. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of

                                       33
<PAGE>

this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own
separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their
respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through Wiggin
and Dana LLP, but such counsel does not represent any of the Purchasers in this
transaction other than SCO Securities LLC. The Company has elected to provide
all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the
Purchasers.

         6.17     Waiver of Trial by Jury.
                  -----------------------

         THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION
OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.

         6.18     Further Assurances.
                  ------------------

         Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the other parties and to
execute such further instruments, documents and agreements and to give such
further written assurances as may be reasonably requested by any other party to
better evidence and reflect the transactions described herein and contemplated
hereby and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement, and
further agrees to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do
promptly, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable law to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
hereby, to obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals, to effect all
necessary registrations and filings, and to remove any injunctions or other
impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in order to consummate and make
effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the purpose of
securing to the parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement.
