that an investment in the Company is speculative and involves a high degree
of risk of loss.

         2.3      Information. The Company has provided the Investor with
                  -----------
information regarding the business, operations and financial condition of
the Company, and has granted to the Investor the opportunity to ask
questions of and receive satisfactory answers from representatives of the
Company, its officers, directors, employees and agents concerning the
Company and materials relating to the terms and conditions of the purchase
and sale of the Purchased Securities hereunder, and based thereon believes
it can make an informed decision with respect to its investment in the
Securities. Neither such information nor any other investigation conducted
by the Investor or its representatives shall modify, amend or otherwise
affect the Investor's right to rely on the Company's representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement.

         2.4      Limitations on Disposition. The Investor acknowledges that,
                  --------------------------
except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities have
not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act and may not
be transferred or resold without registration under the Securities Act or
unless pursuant to an exemption therefrom. By executing this Agreement, the
Investor represents that it has no agreement or understanding with any
Person (other than a Person to whom the Investor has granted investment
discretion over its assets) to sell, transfer and/or grant rights in any of
the Securities.

         2.5      Legend. The Investor understands that the certificates
                  ------
representing the Securities may bear at issuance a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form:

                  "The securities represented by this certificate have not
                  been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
                  amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of
                  any state, and may not be offered or sold unless a
                  registration statement under the Securities Act and
                  applicable state securities laws shall have become
                  effective with regard thereto, or an exemption from
                  registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
                  securities laws is available in connection with such offer
                  or sale."

                                     7

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that, as long
as (A) the resale or transfer (including without limitation a pledge) of any
of the Securities is registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement, (B) such Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, subject
to receipt by the Company of customary documentation in connection
therewith, or (C) such Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k)
or any successor provision and the holder thereof represents in writing to
the Company that it is eligible to use such rule for public resales of such
Securities, the certificates representing such Securities shall be issued
without any legend or other restrictive language and, with respect to
Securities upon which such legend is stamped, the Company shall issue new
certificates without such legend to the holder upon request.

         2.6      Reliance on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the
                  ----------------------
Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of
the representations and warranties of the Investor set forth in this Section
2 in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the
eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities.

         2.7      Non-Affiliate Status; Common Stock Ownership. The Investor is
                  --------------------------------------------
not an Affiliate of the Company or of any other Investor and is not acting
in association or concert with any other Person with regard to its purchase
of Purchased Securities or otherwise in respect of the Company. The
Investor's investment in Purchased Securities is not for the purpose of
acquiring, directly or indirectly, control of, and it has no intent to
acquire or exercise control of, the Company or to influence the decisions or
policies of the Company's Board of Directors.

         2.8      Fees. The Investor is not obligated to pay any commissions,
                  ----
compensation or other fee, cost or related expenditure to any underwriter,
broker, agent or other representative in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, other than legal fees to its counsel. The Investor will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any claim by any
Person alleging that, as a result of any agreement or arrangement between
such Person and the Investor, the Company is obligated to pay any such
commissions, compensations, fee, cost or related expenditure in connection
with the transactions completed hereby.

3.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby
         ---------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Investor and agrees with the Investor that,
as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date:

         3.1      Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the
                  ---------------------------------------------
Company and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its
business as now conducted. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly
qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which it conducts business except where the failure so to qualify has not
had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         3.2      Authorization; Consents. The Company has the requisite
                  -----------------------
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including without
limitation to issue and sell the Securities to the Investor in accordance
with the terms

                                      8

thereof and to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. All
corporate action on the part of the Company by its officers, directors and
stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of, and
the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents has been taken, and no further consent or
authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, stockholders, any
Governmental Authority or organization (other than such approval as may be
required under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws in
respect of the Registration Rights Agreement), or any other person or entity
is required (pursuant to any rule of the NASD or otherwise). The Company's
Board of Directors has determined, at a duly convened meeting or pursuant to
a unanimous written consent, that the issuance and sale of the Securities,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the other
Transaction Documents (including without limitation the issuance of the
Warrant Shares), are in the best interests of the Company.

         3.3      Enforcement. Each Transaction Document has been duly executed
                  -----------
and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and legally binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general
application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

         3.4      SEC Documents; Agreements; Financial Statements; Other
                  ------------------------------------------------------
Information. The Company has filed with the Commission all reports,
-----------
schedules, registration statements and definitive proxy statements that the
Company was required to file with the Commission on or after December 31,
2002 (collectively, the "SEC Documents"). Except as set forth on Schedule
                         -------------
3.4, the Company is not aware of any event occurring on or prior to the
Closing Date (other than the transactions effected hereby) that would
require the filing of, or with respect to which the Company intends to file,
a Form 8-K after the Closing. Each SEC Document, as of the date of the
filing thereof with the Commission, complied in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable, and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and, as of the date of such
filing (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this
Agreement, then on the date of such filing), such SEC Document (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference
therein) did not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. All documents required to be filed as exhibits to the
SEC Documents have been filed as required. Except as set forth in the SEC
Documents or any schedule or exhibit attached thereto or hereto, the Company
has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than liabilities incurred
in the ordinary course of business which, under GAAP, are not required to be
reflected in the financial statements included in the SEC Documents and
which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the
consolidated business or financial condition of the Company and the
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The financial statements included in the SEC
Documents have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied at
the times and during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise
indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the
case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude
footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in
all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates
thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods
then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end
adjustments).

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

non-assessable, and all shares of capital stock issued by any wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company have been validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. No

there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to,
calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities
or rights convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, or arrangements by which the Company is or may
become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or
any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (whether pursuant to anti-dilution,
"reset" or other similar provisions). Except as described on Schedule 3.5
                                                             ------------
hereto, neither the Company nor any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries has any
material Debt outstanding as of the date hereof.

this Agreement, will be issued, sold and delivered in compliance with all
applicable Federal and state securities laws. The Warrant Shares are duly
authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued in accordance with the
terms of the Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, free and clear of any Liens imposed by or through the
Company.

         3.7      No Conflict with Other Instruments. Neither the Company nor
                  ----------------------------------
any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of any provisions of its charter,
bylaws or any other governing document or in default (and no event has
occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a
default) under any provision of any instrument or contract to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its Property is bound, or in violation of any
provision of any Governmental Requirement applicable to it, except for
violations of any provision of a Governmental Requirement that has not had
or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (any
such violation or default, a "Current Violation"). Except as set forth on
                              -----------------
Schedule 3.7 hereto, the execution, delivery and performance of this
------------
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including without limitation,
the issuance of the Purchased Securities and the reservation and issuance of
the Warrant Shares) will not result in a Current Violation or result in the
creation of any Lien upon any assets of the Company or of any of the
Subsidiaries or the triggering of any preemptive or anti-dilution rights
(including without limitation pursuant to any "reset" or similar provisions)
or rights of first refusal or first offer, or any other rights that would
allow or permit the holders of the Company's securities or other Persons to
purchase shares of Common

                                     10

Stock or other securities of the Company (whether pursuant to a shareholder
rights plan provision or otherwise).

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

                  3.8.1 The Company's financial condition is, in all
material respects, as described in the Disclosure Documents, except for
changes in the ordinary course of business and normal year-end adjustments
that are not, in the aggregate, materially adverse to the consolidated

a whole. There has occurred no (i) material adverse change to the Company's
business, operations, properties, financial condition, or results of
operations since the date of the Company's most recent audited financial

Company in its accounting principles, policies and methods except as

prepared in good faith and duly and timely filed all tax returns required to
be filed by it and such returns are complete and accurate in all material
respects and (ii) has paid all taxes required to have been paid by it,
except for taxes which it reasonably disputes in good faith or the failure
of which to pay has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and has no liability with respect to accrued taxes
in excess of the amounts that are described as accrued in the most recent
financial statements included in the Disclosure Documents.

                  3.8.3 Except as described in Schedule 3.8.3, neither the
                                               --------------
Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is the subject of any pending or, to the
Company's knowledge, threatened inquiry, investigation or administrative or
legal proceeding by the Internal Revenue Service, the taxing authorities of
any state or local jurisdiction (other than with respect to taxes which it
reasonably disputes in good faith or the failure of which to pay has not had
or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), the
Commission, the NASD, any state securities commission or other Governmental
Authority.

                  3.8.4 Except as described in Schedule 3.8.4, there is no
                                               --------------

Company's knowledge, threatened or contemplated, against the Company or any
of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, or, to the Company's knowledge, against

subject to the provisions of, any order, writ, injunction, judgment or
decree of any court or Governmental Authority which has had or would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         3.9      Form S-3. The Company is eligible to register the Registrable
                  --------
Securities for resale by the Investor on a registration statement on Form
S-3 under the Securities Act. To the Company's knowledge, there exist no
facts or circumstances (including without limitation any required approvals
or waivers of any circumstances that may delay or prevent the obtaining of
accountant's consents) that could reasonably be expected to prohibit or
delay the preparation, filing or effectiveness of such registration
statement.

                                     11

         3.10     Acknowledgement of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the
                  ---------------------------
issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants may result in
dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Company further
acknowledges that its obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of
the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof is unconditional
regardless of the effect of any such dilution.

         3.11     Intellectual Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries each
                  ---------------------
owns or possesses, licenses or can acquire or make use of, without undue
expense, all Intellectual Property that is necessary for the operation of
its businesses as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted,
without any known conflict with the rights of others. The consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents will not materially alter or impair, individually or in the
aggregate, any of such rights of the Company. To the Company's knowledge,
(i) none of its current products or services infringes upon any Intellectual
Property of any other Person, and no claim or litigation is pending or, to
the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company contesting its
right to sell or otherwise use any product or material or service which has
had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and
(ii) the use by the Company of any Intellectual Property does not infringe
the rights of any third party to such Intellectual Property. There is no
violation by the Company with respect to any Intellectual Property owned or
used by the Company and the Company's rights to such Intellectual Property
are valid and enforceable and no registration relating thereto has lapsed,
expired or terminated or is the subject of any claim or proceeding that
could result in any such lapse, expiration or termination. The Company and
the Subsidiaries each has complied in all material respects with its
obligations pursuant to any agreement relating to Intellectual Property
rights that are the subject of licenses granted by third parties, except for
any non-compliance that has not had or would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

         3.12     Registration Rights. Except as described on Schedule 3.12
                  -------------------                         -------------
hereto, the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any person or
entity any rights (including "piggy-back" registration rights) to have any
securities of the Company registered with the Commission or any other
governmental authority which has not been satisfied in full prior to the
date hereof.

         3.13     Solicitation; Other Issuances of Securities. Neither the
                  -------------------------------------------
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any person acting on

general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with
the offer or sale of the Securities, or (ii) has, directly or indirectly,
made any offers or sales of any security or the right to purchase any
security, or solicited any offers to buy any security or any such right,
under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities under
the Securities Act or that would be integrated with the sale of the
Securities for purposes of the Securities Act or the listing criteria of the
Nasdaq Stock Market.

         3.14     Fees. The Company is not obligated to pay any compensation or
                  ----
other fee, cost or related expenditure to any underwriter, broker, agent or
other representative in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor from and
against any claim by any person or entity alleging that, as a result of any
agreement or arrangement

                                     12

between such Person and the Company, the Investor is obligated to pay any
such compensation, fee, cost or related expenditure in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         3.15     Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the

the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) used any corporate funds for any
unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
relating to political activity, (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful
payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee

kickback or other unlawful payment), or (iii) violated any provision of the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

         3.16     Key Employees. Each of the Company's executive officers (as
                  -------------
defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) (each, a "Key Employee") is
                                                        ------------

Company has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance (including without
limitation (i) the terms of any agreement to which such person is a party or
any litigation in which such person is or may become involved and (ii) any
illness or medical condition that could reasonably be expected to result in
the disability or incapacity of such person) that would limit or prevent any
such person from serving in such capacity on a full-time basis in the
foreseeable future, or of any intention on the part of any such person to
limit or terminate his or her employment with the Company. Except as set
forth on Schedule 3.16, no Key Employee has borrowed money pursuant to a
         -------------
currently outstanding loan that is secured by Common Stock or any right or
option to receive Common Stock.

         3.17     Employee Matters. There is no strike, labor dispute or union
                  ----------------
organization activities pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened between it and its employees (or between any of the Subsidiaries
and such Subsidiary's employees). No employees of the Company belong to any
union or collective bargaining unit. The Company has complied in all
material respects with all applicable federal and state equal opportunity
and other laws related to employment.

         3.18     Environment. To the Company's knowledge, neither the Company
                  -----------
nor any of the Subsidiaries has any current liability under any
Environmental Law, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, do any factors
exist that are reasonably likely to give rise to any such liability that,
individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company's knowledge, neither the
Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has violated any Environmental Law
applicable to it now or previously in effect, other than such violations or
infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         3.19     ERISA. Except as described on Schedule 3.19, neither the
                  -----                         -------------
Company nor any of the Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to, or has any
obligation under, any Pension Plan. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries
is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable
provisions of ERISA and the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not
had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse
Effect.

                                     13

         3.20     Disclosure. No written statement, information, report,
                  ----------
representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document or furnished to the Investor by or on behalf of
the Company or any of the Subsidiaries in connection with the Transaction
Documents or the Investor's due diligence investigation of the Company
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light
of the circumstances in which made, not misleading. Following the issuance
of the press release and Form 8-K in accordance with Section 4.1(c) hereof,
and based upon the Company's view that any non-public information provided
to the Investor is not material, the Investor will not, to the Company's
knowledge, possess any material non-public information concerning the
Company. The Company acknowledges that the Investor is relying on the
representations, acknowledgements and agreements made by the Company in this
Section 3.20 and elsewhere in this Agreement in making trading and other
decisions concerning the Company's securities.

         3.21     Insurance. The Company maintains insurance for itself and the
                  ---------
Subsidiaries in such amounts and covering such losses and risks as the
Company believes to be reasonably prudent in relation to the businesses in
which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. No notice of
cancellation has been received for any of such policies and the Company
reasonably believes that is in compliance with all of the terms and
conditions thereof. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew any existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue doing business as currently conducted without a
significant increase in cost. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company maintains Director's and Officer's insurance in an
amount not less than $10 million for each covered occurrence and in the
aggregate.

         3.22     Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.22, the Company
                  --------                         -------------
and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all personal Property
and good and marketable title in fee simple to all of its real property
owned by them which, individually or in the aggregate, is material to the
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each such case free and
clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens. Any Property held under lease
by the Company and the Subsidiaries is held by them under valid, subsisting
and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not
interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such Property by the
Company and the Subsidiaries.

         3.23     Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess
                  ------------------
all material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the
appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to

Affiliate delivers to the Company a duly executed Investment Representation

any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Investor may

sale or transfer of the Purchased Securities in accordance with the terms
hereof, as long as, as a condition precedent to such transfer, the

provisions of this Agreement, in which case the term "Investor" shall be
deemed to refer to such transferee as though such transferee were an
original signatory hereto. The Company may not assign its rights or
obligations under this Agreement.

guarantee as to the merits (whether legal, regulatory, tax, financial or
otherwise) of entering into this Agreement or the other Transaction

                           -----------------
and agree that a breach by either of their obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm the other party and that the remedy or remedies at law for
any such breach will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of any such
breach, in addition to all other available remedies, the non-breaching party
shall be entitled to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring
immediate and specific performance of such obligations without the necessity
of showing economic loss.

proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit,
action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address

                                  EXHIBIT D
                    INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION CERTIFICATE

Purchaser:
            -----------

Company:    Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (the "Company")

Security:
            -----------

Amount:
            -----------

Date:
            -----------

         In connection with the purchase of the above-listed securities (the
"Securities"), the undersigned (the "Purchaser") represents to the Company
as follows:

         The Purchaser is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the
Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Securities. The Purchaser is purchasing the Securities for its own account
for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in
connection with, any "distribution" thereof for purposes of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

         The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefor, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of the Purchaser's investment intent as expressed herein. In this
connection, the Purchaser understands that, in the view of the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may
be unavailable if the Purchaser's representation was predicated solely upon
a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains
period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an
increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period
of one year or any other fixed period in the future. The Purchaser is an
"accredited investor" as that term is defined under Regulation D promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

         The Purchaser further understands that the Securities must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or
unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. In addition,
the Purchaser understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities
will be imprinted with the legend referred to in this Warrant under which
the Securities are being purchased.

         The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated
under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale
of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer
thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including,
among other things: (i) the availability of certain public information about
the Company; (ii) the resale occurring not less than one (1) year after the
party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold (subject to
certain "tacking" provisions); (iii) the resale being made through a broker
in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a
market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended) and the amount of securities being sold during any
three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein.

         The Purchaser further understands that at the time it wishes to
sell the Securities there may be no

                                     25

public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a
public market upon which to make such a sale then exists, notwithstanding
the Company's best efforts obligation to do so set forth in the Warrant, the
Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of
Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Purchaser may be precluded from
selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum holding
period had been satisfied.

         The Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the
requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required; and that,
notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the
SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private
placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than
pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing
that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales,
and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such
transactions do so at their own risk.

a certificate representing such new Warrant, with terms identical in all
respects to this Warrant (except that such new Warrant shall be exercisable

                           --------  -------
entitled to exercise all or any portion of such new Warrant at any time

otherwise in writing on or before the Exercise Date, the Company shall
effect delivery of Warrant Shares by delivering to the Holder or its nominee
physical certificates representing such Warrant Shares, no later than the
close of business on such Delivery Date.

         3.  Failure to Deliver Warrant Shares.
             ---------------------------------

"Exercise Default"), and such default continues for five (5) Business Days

                                                        ----------------
Payments") in the amount of (i) (N/365) multiplied by (ii) the aggregate
--------                                -------------
Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares which are the subject of such Exercise
Default multiplied by (iii) the lower of fifteen percent (15%) and the
        -------------
maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the "Default Interest Rate"),
                                               ---------------------
where "N" equals the number of days elapsed between the original Delivery
Date of such Warrant Shares and the date on which all of such Warrant Shares
are issued and delivered to the Holder. Cash amounts payable hereunder shall
be paid on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of the calendar month
following the calendar month in which such amount has accrued.

         (b) The Holder's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and
no right or remedy is exclusive of any other. The Holder shall have the
right to pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in equity
(including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue
actual damages for the Company's failure to issue and deliver Warrant Shares
on the applicable Delivery Date (including, without limitation, damages
relating to any purchase of Common Stock by the Holder to make delivery on a
sale effected in anticipation of receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise,
such damages to be in an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount paid by
the Holder for the Common Stock so purchased minus (B) the aggregate amount
                                             -----
of net proceeds, if any, received by the Holder from the sale of the Warrant
Shares issued by the Company pursuant to such exercise).

         4.  Adjustments to Exercise Price.
             -----------------------------

         (a) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If
             ----------------------------------------------------------
the Company, at any time after the Issue Date, subdivides (by any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then
after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the

                                     3

Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be
proportionately reduced. If the Company, at any time after the Issue Date,
combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such
combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionally increased.

         (b) Distributions. If the Company shall declare or make any
             -------------
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of
Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend or otherwise (including
without limitation any dividend or distribution to the Company's
stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital
stock of a subsidiary) (a "Distribution"), the Company shall deliver written
                           ------------
notice of such Distribution (a "Distribution Notice") to the Holder at least
                                -------------------
ten (10) Business Days prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the record date
for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution (the "Record
                                                                 ------
Date") and (ii) the date on which such Distribution is made (the
----
"Distribution Date"). The Holder shall be entitled, at its option (to be
 -----------------
exercised by written notice delivered to the Company on or before the tenth
(10th) Business Day following the date on which a Distribution Notice is
delivered to the Holder), either (A) upon any exercise of this Warrant on or
after the Record Date, to be entitled to receive on the Distribution Date
(for any exercise effected on or prior to the Distribution Date) or the
applicable Delivery Date (for any exercise effected after the Distribution
Date), the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the holder
with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise had
the Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the Record Date
or (B) upon any exercise of this Warrant on or after the Record Date, to
reduce the Exercise Price applicable to such exercise by reducing the
Exercise Price in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Record Date by an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets to be
distributed divided by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such
            ----------
Distribution is to be made, such fair market value to be reasonably
determined in good faith by the independent members of the Board of
Directors of the Company.

         (c) Major Transactions. In the event of a merger, consolidation,
             ------------------
business combination, tender offer, exchange of shares, recapitalization,
reorganization, redemption or other similar event, as a result of which
shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a
different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock
or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or the
Company shall sell all or substantially all of its assets (each of the
foregoing being a "Major Transaction"), the Company will give the Holder at
                   -----------------
least ten (10) Business Days written notice prior to the closing of such
Major Transaction; provided, however, that the Company shall publicly
                   --------  -------
disclose the terms of any such Major Transaction on or before the date on
which it delivers notice of a Major Transaction to the Holder. Upon the
occurrence of a Major Transaction, (i) the Holder shall be permitted to
exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time prior to the record
date for the receipt of such consideration and shall be entitled to receive,
for each share of Common Stock issued to Holder for such exercise, the same
per share consideration paid to the other holders of Common Stock in
connection with such Major Transaction, and (ii) if and to the extent that
the Holder retains any portion of this Warrant following such record date,
the Company will cause the surviving or, in the event of a sale of assets,
purchasing entity, as a condition precedent to such Major Transaction, to
assume the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, with such
adjustments to the Exercise Price and the securities covered hereby as are
deemed appropriate by

                                     4

the Company's Board of Directors in order to preserve the economic benefits
of this Warrant to the Holder.

         (d) Adjustments; Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the
             ----------------------------------------------------
event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
paragraph 4, the Holder of this Warrant shall, upon exercise of this
Warrant, become entitled to receive securities or assets (other than Common
Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common
Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other
securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other
securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions
of this paragraph 4. Any adjustment made herein that results in a decrease
in the Exercise Price shall also effect a proportional increase in the
number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.

         5.  Fractional Interests.
             --------------------

             No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If, on exercise
of this Warrant, the Holder hereof would be entitled to a fractional share
of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock,
the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay to the
Holder an amount in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying
such fraction by the Market Price (as defined in the Series B Warrants) as
of the Exercise Date.

         6.  Transfer of this Warrant.
             ------------------------

             The Holder may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose
of this Warrant, in whole or in part, as long as such sale or other
disposition is made pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and
applicable state securities laws, and is otherwise made in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Upon such
transfer or other disposition, the Holder shall deliver this Warrant to the
Company together with a written notice to the Company, substantially in the
form of the Transfer Notice attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Transfer
                                               ---------       --------
Notice"), indicating the person or persons to whom this Warrant shall be
------
transferred and, if less than all of this Warrant is transferred, the number
of Warrant Shares to be covered by the part of this Warrant to be
transferred to each such person. Within ten (10) Business Days of receiving
a Transfer Notice, an executed Investment Certificate and the original of
this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the each transferee designated by
the Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate
number of Warrant Shares and, if less than all this Warrant is transferred,
shall deliver to the Holder a Warrant for the remaining number of Warrant
Shares.

         7.  Benefits of this Warrant.
             ------------------------

             This Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit
of the Holder of this Warrant and nothing in this Warrant shall be construed
to confer upon any person other than the Holder of this Warrant any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.

                                     5

         8.  Loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of Warrant.
             -------------------------------------------------

             Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss,
theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
and upon surrender of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date in replacement for the
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

         9.  Notice or Demands.
             -----------------

             Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be
given by the Company or the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant
shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered
personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is
made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will
be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next
Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the
Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or

Warrant shall be made

                                     6

without charge to the exercising Holder for any tax in respect of the issue
