corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted. The Company and each of its
<PAGE>
subsidiaries is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in
each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material
adverse effect on its business, properties, results of operation or financial
condition.

      2.2 SEC Reports; Financial Statements. The Company's Common Stock, $0.01
par value per share (the "Common Stock") is registered under Section 12(b) or

fiscal years (collectively, the "SEC Reports"). The SEC Reports do not (as of
their respective dates) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit

a consistent basis (except as stated in such Financial Statements or the notes
thereto) and fairly present, subject, in the case of the unaudited Financial
Statements, to normal recurring and year-end adjustments, the financial position

of the most recent of such fiscal years, there has been no material adverse
change in the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations
of the Company and its subsidiaries taken together, and there is no existing
condition, event or series of events which reasonably would be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition or
results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken together, or the
ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the
Warrant, or the Second Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement, dated
as of March 30, 2001, by and among the Company, the Investor and certain other

<PAGE>
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, any material agreement, instrument,
contract, document, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by
which it is bound or any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable
to it. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Warrant

not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or
without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any

applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, their business or
operations or any of their assets or properties.

      2.10 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, currently threatened against
the Company or any of its subsidiaries that questions the validity of this

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might
result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse changes
in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity
ownership of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The foregoing includes,
without limitation, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to
the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened involving the prior employment
of any of the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' employees or consultants,
their use in connection with the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' business
of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party or subject to the
provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or
government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries currently pending or
that the Company or any of its subsidiaries intends to initiate.

      2.11 Non-Disclosure and Proprietary Rights Agreements. Except as described
in the Disclosure Schedule, each employee, officer and consultant of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries has executed a Non-Disclosure and Proprietary Rights
Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. The Company, after
reasonable investigation, is not aware that any of the Company's or its
subsidiaries' key employees, officers or consultants are in violation of the
agreements specified in this Section 2.11, and the Company and its subsidiaries
will use their reasonable efforts to prevent any such violation.

      2.12 Patents and Trademarks. The Disclosure Schedule contains a complete
and accurate list of all (i) patented or registered Intellectual Property Rights
(as defined below) owned or used by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii)
pending patent applications and applications for registrations of other
Intellectual Property Rights filed by the Company or any its subsidiaries and
(iii) unregistered trade names and corporate names owned or used by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries. The Disclosure Schedule also contains a complete and
accurate list of all licenses and other rights granted by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries to

                                       5
<PAGE>
any third party with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights and all
licenses and other rights granted by any third party to the Company or any of
its subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights, in each case
identifying the subject Intellectual Property Rights but not including licenses
arising from the purchase of standard "off the shelf" products. The Company or a
subsidiary of the Company owns all right, title and interest in and to all of
the Intellectual Property Rights listed on the Disclosure Schedule free and
clear of all liens, encumbrances or claims of others except liens, encumbrances
and claims of others with respect to third-party licenses and Permitted Liens.
Except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, the Company or a subsidiary of
the Company owns all right, title and interest to, or has the right to use
pursuant to a valid license, all Intellectual Property Rights, as they currently
exist, necessary for the operation of the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted,
free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or claims of others except liens,
encumbrances and claims of others with respect to third-party licenses. The
Company and its subsidiaries have taken all necessary actions to maintain and
protect the Intellectual Property Rights that each of them own. To the best of
the Company's knowledge, the owners of any Intellectual Property Rights licensed
to the Company or any of its subsidiaries have taken all necessary and desirable
actions to maintain and protect the Intellectual Property Rights that are
subject to such licenses. There have been no claims made against the Company or
any of its subsidiaries asserting the invalidity, misuse or unenforceability of
any of such Intellectual Property Rights, and to the best of the Company's
knowledge, there are no valid grounds for the same. Neither the Company nor any
of its subsidiaries has received any notices of, and the Company is not aware of
any facts which indicate a likelihood of, any infringement or misappropriation
by, or conflict with, any third party with respect to such Intellectual Property
Rights (including, without limitation, any demand or request that the Company or
any of its subsidiaries license any rights from a third party). To the best of
the Company's knowledge, the conduct of the Company's and each of its
subsidiaries' business has not infringed, misappropriated or conflicted with and
does not infringe, misappropriate or conflict with any Intellectual Property
Rights of others, nor to the best of the Company's belief would any future
conduct as presently contemplated infringe, misappropriate or conflict with any
Intellectual Property Rights of others. To the best of the Company's knowledge,
the Intellectual Property Rights owned by or licensed to the Company or any of
its subsidiaries have not been infringed upon, or misappropriated by or conflict
with others. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement will have no
material adverse effect on the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' right,
title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property Rights listed on the
Disclosure Schedule. To the best of the Company's knowledge, none of the
Company's nor any of its subsidiaries' employees is obligated under any contract
(including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement,
or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative
agency, that would interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to promote
the interests of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or that would conflict
with the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' business as presently conducted
and to the best of the Company's belief as presently proposed to be conducted.
Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement nor the carrying on of the Company's or each of its subsidiaries'
business by the employees of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, nor the
conduct of the Company's or each of its subsidiaries' business as presently
conducted or presently proposed to be conducted, will, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default

obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with
its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other
equitable remedies.

      3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Securities to be purchased by
the Investor hereunder, the Series C Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant to be issued to the Investor hereunder and the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock issued or issuable to the
Investor hereunder or under the Warrant issued to the Investor hereunder, are
being acquired for investment for the Investor's own account, not as a nominee
or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation
in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Investor does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Securities to be purchased by the Investor hereunder, the Series C Preferred
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant to be issued to the Investor
hereunder, and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C
Preferred Stock issued or issuable to the Investor hereunder or under the
Warrant issued to the Investor hereunder.

      3.3 Disclosure of Information. The Investor has received all the
information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
purchase the Securities. The Investor further represents that it has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the business,
properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing,

      3.4 Investment Experience. The Investor is an investor in securities of
companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for
itself, can bear

                                       11
<PAGE>
the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Securities. The Investor also represents it has
not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

      3.5 Accredited Investor. The Investor is an "accredited investor" within
the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as
presently in effect.

      3.6 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities it

securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection,
the Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations
imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

      3.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of the Securities to be purchased by the

Warrant to be issued to the Investor hereunder, and the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock issued or issuable to the
Investor hereunder or under the Warrant to be issued to the Investor hereunder
unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the
Company to be bound by this Section 3 and the applicable provisions of the
Second Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement and:

      (a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities
Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or

      (b) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and, if requested by the
Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not
require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the Company
will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144
except in unusual circumstances or unless required by a transfer agent.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, no such
registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer
by an Investor that is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a
retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the
estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift, will or
intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to the siblings,
lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse, if the
transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same
extent as if he or she were the original Investor hereunder.

                                       12

at least one party, exclusive of interest and costs, exceeds $100,000 ("Summary
Proceeding"), arising out of or relating to a Dispute which has not been
resolved by mediation as provided herein within 90 days of the Notice Date,
shall be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware
(the "Delaware Superior Court") as a summary proceeding pursuant to Rules
124-131 of the Delaware Superior Court, or any successor rules (the "Summary
Proceeding Rules"). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally (A) submits to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Superior Court
for any Summary Proceeding, (B) agrees not to commence any Summary Proceeding
except in the Delaware Superior Court, (C) waives, and agrees not to plead or to
make, any objection to the venue of any Summary Proceeding in the Delaware
Superior Court, (D) waives, and agrees not to plead or to make any claim that
any Summary Proceeding brought in the Delaware Superior Court has been brought
in an improper or otherwise inconvenient forum, (E) waives, and agrees not to
plead or to make, any claim that the Delaware Superior Court lacks personal
jurisdiction over it, (F) waives its right to remove any Summary Proceeding to
the federal courts except where such courts are vested with sole and exclusive
jurisdiction by statute, and (G) understands and agrees that it shall not seek a
jury trial or punitive damages in any Summary Proceeding based upon or arising
out of a Dispute, and waives any and all rights to any such jury trial or to
seek punitive damages.

      (d) In the event any action, suit or proceeding where the amount in
controversy as to at least one party, exclusive of interest and costs, does not
exceed $100,000 (a "Proceeding"), arising out of or relating to a Dispute is
brought, the parties to such Proceeding agree to make application to the
Delaware Superior Court to proceed under the Summary Proceeding Rules. Until
such time as such application is rejected, such Proceeding shall be treated as a
Summary Proceeding and all of the foregoing provisions of Section 6.10(c)
relating to Summary Proceedings shall apply to such Proceeding.

                                       17
<PAGE>
      (e) If a Summary Proceeding is not available to resolve any Dispute
hereunder, the controversy or claim shall be settled by arbitration conducted on
a confidential basis, under the U.S. Arbitration Act, if applicable, and the
then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association (the "Association") strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the substantive law of the State of Delaware including law in
respect of any statute of limitations. The arbitration shall be conducted at the
Association's regional office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by three
arbitrators, at least one of whom shall be knowledgeable in the industry in
which the Company is engaged in business, one of whom shall be an attorney and
one of whom shall be a member of a "Big Four" accounting firm familiar with the
industry in which the Company is engaged in business. Absent mutual agreement of
the parties, the arbitrators specified in the preceding sentence shall be
appointed pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the Association. The
arbitrators are not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages
and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover damages in excess
of compensatory damages with respect to any such Dispute. Judgment upon the
arbitrators' award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

      (f) No party shall be precluded hereby from securing equitable remedies in
courts of any jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, temporary restraining
orders and preliminary injunctions to protect its rights and interests but shall
not be sought as a means to avoid or stay arbitration or Summary Proceeding.

      (g) Each party is required to continue to perform its obligations under
this contract pending final resolution of any Dispute, unless to do so would be
impossible or impracticable under the circumstances.

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

      6.12 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to
be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from
this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such
provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

      6.13 Publicity(h). Neither the Company nor the Investor shall take any
action, or permit any of its employees, consultants, officers, directors or
stockholders to take any action, which may result in the public disclosure of
the transactions effected hereby or the identity of the Investor, except
pursuant to the Company's filing obligations under applicable securities laws or
unless otherwise required by law. Other than with respect to filing obligations
under applicable securities laws, if the Company determines that it is required
by law to disclose these transactions or the identity of the Investor, it shall,
at a reasonable time before making any such disclosure, consult with the
Investor regarding such disclosure.

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR ANY OF THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT OR
OF THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF SHALL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE
UNLESS (A) SUCH TRANSFER IS MADE PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR (B) THE HOLDER HEREOF SHALL DELIVER TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS
EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

WARRANT NO. C-2-3                                               JANUARY 14, 2003

                               USDATA CORPORATION

                   SERIES C-2 PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, USDATA Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to SCP Private Equity
Partners II, L.P. ("SCP"), a Delaware limited partnership, or its registered
assigns or transferees (SCP and each such assign or transferee being referred to
herein as a "Holder" and collectively as the "Holders") the right to purchase,
at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and until 5:00 p.m.
(Eastern Standard Time) on January 14, 2013 (the "Expiration Date"), 18,750
fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's Series C-2 Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series C Shares"), at a purchase price
per share of $40.00 (the "Exercise Price").

      1.    Exercise of Warrant.

            1.1 Exercise. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof,
the rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable, in whole or in part, on
any business day (the "Exercise Date") and on or before the Expiration Date, at
the Exercise Price per share of the Series C Shares issuable hereunder
(hereinafter, "Warrant Shares"). Unless this Warrant is exercised in accordance
with Section 1.2 hereof, the Exercise Price shall be payable in cash, or by
certified or official bank check.

            1.2 Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the
payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, either (x) in the event
of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (whether actual or
deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 3.c of the Company's Certificate of
Designation for Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock), the
Net Liquidation Value (as hereinafter defined) of this Warrant or (y) shares
equal to the Net Value (as hereinafter defined) of this Warrant, or in either
case any portion hereof, by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the
Company, with the Notice of Net Issue Election in the form of Annex C hereto
duly executed, at the principal executive
<PAGE>
office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder the Net
Liquidation Value of this Warrant (or portion thereof), in the case of a net
exercise pursuant to clause (x) or such number of fully paid and nonassessable
Series C Shares as is computed using the following formula, in the case of a net
exercise pursuant to clause (y):

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

where       X = the number of shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this
            Section 1.2.

            Y = the number of shares covered by this Warrant in respect of which
            the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1.2.

            A = the fair market value of one Series C Share, which shall be
            deemed to equal the fair market value of one share of the Company's
            Common Stock, as determined in accordance with the provisions of
            this Section 1.2; provided, however, that if each Series C Share is
            then convertible into more than or less than one share of the
            Company's Common Stock, then the fair market value of each Series C
            Share shall be deemed to equal the fair market value of one share of
            the Company's Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of the
            Company's Common Stock into which each Series C Share is then
            convertible.

            B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the
            net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1.2.

For purposes of this Section 1.2, the "fair market value" per share of the
Company's Common Stock shall mean:

                  (a) If the Company's Common Stock is traded on a national
securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an
exchange, or is listed on the National Market (the "National Market") of the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System (the
"NASDAQ"), the fair market value shall be the average of the last reported sale
prices of the Company's Common Stock on such exchange or on the National Market
over the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the effective
date of exercise of the net issue election or if the last reported sale price
information is not available for such days, the average of the mean of the
closing bid and asked prices for such days on such exchange or on the National
Market;

                  (b) If the Company's Common Stock is not listed or admitted to
unlisted trading privileges, the fair market value shall be the average of the
mean of the last bid and asked prices reported over the five (5) consecutive
Business Days immediately preceding the effective date of exercise of the net
issue election (1) by the NASDAQ or (2) if reports are unavailable under clause
(1) above, by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated; and

                  (c) If the Company's Common Stock is not so listed or admitted
to unlisted trading privileges and bid and ask prices are not reported, the fair
market value shall be the price per share which the Company could obtain from a
willing buyer for shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued
shares, as such price shall be determined by mutual

                                       2
<PAGE>
agreement of the Company and the Holder of this Warrant. If the Holder of this
Warrant and the Company are unable to agree on such fair market value, the
holder of this Warrant and the Company shall each select an independent and
nationally-recognized investment banking firm and such selected firms shall
select another such firm to appraise the fair market value of the Warrant and to
perform the computations involved. The determination of such investment banking
firm shall be binding upon the Company, the Holder of this Warrant and any other
holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares in connection with any transaction
occurring at the time of such determination. All expenses of such investment
banking firm shall be borne equally by the Company and the Holder of this
Warrant. In all cases, the determination of fair market value shall be made
without consideration of the lack of a liquid public market for the Common Stock
and without consideration of any "control premium" or any discount for holding
less than a majority or controlling interest of the outstanding Common Stock.

For purposes of this Section 1.2, the term "Net Liquidation Value" of this
Warrant, or portion thereof, shall mean the amount payable to the holders of
Series C Shares (with respect to the number of Series C Shares covered by this
Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to clause
(x) of Section 1.2, and assuming, for purposes of calculating the "Net
Liquidation Value", that such Series C Shares are issued and outstanding) as a
result of or in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company pursuant to Section 3 of the Company's Certificate of Designation
for Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock (whether actual or
deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 3.c thereof) less the Exercise Price
of such Series C Shares.

            1.3 Automatic Exercise Prior to Expiration. If not earlier
exercised, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full pursuant
to Section 1.2 immediately prior to the expiration hereof, and upon such deemed
exercise, and without any further act or deed of the Holder hereof or any other
person or entity, the Company shall issue to the Holder hereof the number of
fully paid and non-assessable Series C Shares to which such Holder would be
entitled under Section 1.2.

            1.4 Delivery of Certificate. Upon surrender of this Warrant with (a)
a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form of Annex A attached hereto,
together with payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares purchased, or
(b) a duly executed Notice of Net Issue Election in the form of Annex C hereto,
at the Company's principal executive offices presently located at 2435 North
Central Expressway, Richardson, Texas, 75080, or at such other address as the
Company shall have advised the Holder in writing (the "Designated Office"), the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the
Warrant Shares so purchased. The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares shall be
deemed to have been issued to the Holder as of the close of business on the date
on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered together with (x) the Notice
of Exercise and payment for such Warrant Shares or (y) the Notice of Net Issue
Election.

      2.    Transfer; Issuance of Stock Certificates; Restrictive Legends.

            2.1 Transfer. Subject to compliance with the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Section 2, each transfer of this Warrant and all
rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the
Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of

                                       3
<PAGE>
this Warrant at the Designated Office, together with a written assignment of
this Warrant in the form of Annex B attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
or its agent or attorney. Upon such surrender and delivery, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment,
and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this
Warrant not so assigned, if any. A Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance
with the provisions hereof, may be exercised by the new holder for the purchase
of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued. Prior to due presentment
for registration of transfer thereof, the Company may deem and treat the
registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof (notwithstanding
any notations of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than a duly
authorized officer of the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary. All Warrants issued upon any assignment of Warrants
shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same rights, and
entitled to the same benefits as the Warrants surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange.

            2.2 Stock Certificates. Certificates for the Warrant Shares shall be
delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by
this Warrant shall have been exercised pursuant to Section 1, and a new Warrant
representing the Series C Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant
shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within
such time. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof including,
without limitation, any documentary, stamp or similar tax that may be payable in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any income tax to which the Holder hereof may be subject in connection with
the issuance of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares; and provided further, that
if Warrant Shares are to be delivered in a name other than the name of the
Holder hereof representing any Warrant being exercised, then no such delivery
shall be made unless the person requiring the same has paid to the Company the
amount of transfer taxes or charges incident thereto, if any.

            2.3 Restrictive Legends.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, each
certificate for Warrant Shares initially issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Shares issued to any subsequent
transferee of any such certificate, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with
a legend in substantially the following form:

            "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
            UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"),
            OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. NO TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED
            BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR ISSUED UPON CONVERSION OF SUCH SHARES SHALL
            BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNLESS (A) SUCH TRANSFER IS MADE PURSUANT TO
            AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN
            COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) THE
            HOLDER SHALL DELIVER

                                       4
<PAGE>
            TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE
            REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER IS
            EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
            SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."

                  (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, each
Warrant shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:

            "NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR ANY OF THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
            EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
            1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
            LAWS. NO TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT OR OF THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
            EXERCISE HEREOF SHALL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNLESS (A) SUCH TRANSFER
            IS MADE PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
            SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE
            SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) THE HOLDER SHALL DELIVER TO THE COMPANY AN
            OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO
            THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION OR
            QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE
            STATE SECURITIES LAWS."

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the legend requirements of this Section 2.3 shall
terminate as to any particular Warrant or Warrant Share when the Company shall
have received from the Holder thereof an opinion of counsel in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Company that such legend is not required
in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws. Whenever the restrictions imposed by this Section 2.3 shall
terminate, the holder hereof or of Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to receive from the Company without cost to such holder a new Warrant
or certificate for Warrant Shares of like tenor, as the case may be, without
such restrictive legend.

      3.    Adjustment of Number of Shares; Exercise Price; Nature of Securities
Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants.

            3.1 Exercise Price; Adjustment of Number of Shares. The Exercise
Price set forth in Section 1 hereof and the number of shares purchasable
hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided.

                        3.1.1 Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time while
this Warrant, or any portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall
be a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange, or
subdivision of shares as provided in

                                       5
<PAGE>
Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.3), merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a
merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the
Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are
converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash, or otherwise, or a sale or transfer of the Company's
properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person,
then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer,
lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the
period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect,
the number of shares of stock or other securities or cash or property of the
successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation,
sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this
Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately before such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer,
all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 3. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.1.1 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock
and securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to the Holder
hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other
than cash or securities, then the value of such consideration shall be
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all events,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder hereof after
the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be
applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any
shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this
Warrant.

                        3.1.2 Reclassification, etc. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired,
shall, by the reclassification or exchange of securities or otherwise, change
any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into
the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this
Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of
securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect
to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, or other change and the
Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 3.

                        3.1.3 Stock Splits, Stock Dividends and Reverse Stock
Splits. In case at any time the Company shall split or subdivide the outstanding
shares of Series C Shares into a greater number of shares, or shall declare and
pay any stock dividend with respect to its outstanding stock that has the effect
of increasing the number of outstanding shares of Series C Shares, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or stock dividend shall be
proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to
this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or stock dividend shall be
proportionately increased, and conversely, in case at any time the Company shall
combine its outstanding shares of Series C Shares into a smaller number of
shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall
be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares

                                       6
<PAGE>
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately reduced.

                        3.1.4 Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other
Securities of Property. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains
outstanding and unexpired the holders of Series C Shares shall have received,
or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible
stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,
other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of
the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall
represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the
security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any
additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock
or other securities or property of the Company that such holder would hold on
the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter,
during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such
exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it
as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for
during such period by the provisions of this Section 3.

            3.2 Timing of Exercise Price Adjustment. No adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least $0.0001 in such price; provided that any adjustments which
by reason of this Section 3.2 are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent
adjustment which, together with any adjustment(s) so carried forward, shall
require an increase or decrease of at least $0.0001 in the Exercise Price then
in effect hereunder.

            3.3 Adjustment Certificate. In each case of an adjustment in the
Exercise Price, number of Warrant Shares or other stock, securities or property
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall compute and
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the
facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the
number of Series C Shares outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, (ii) the
adjusted Exercise Price and (iii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such
certificate to the holder hereof.

      4.    Registration; Exchange and Replacement of Warrant; Reservation of
Shares. The Company shall keep at the Designated Office a register in which the
Company shall provide for the registration, transfer and exchange of this
Warrant. The Company shall not at any time, except upon the dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company, close such register so as to result in
preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of this Warrant.

      The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is
registered as the holder and owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for
registration or transfer as provided in this Section 4.

      Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in case of loss,
theft or destruction) of indemnity by the Holder satisfactory to it, and (in the
case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of

                                       7
<PAGE>
this Warrant, the Company will (in the absence of notice to the Company that the
Warrant has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser) make and deliver a new
Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant without requiring the posting of
any bond or the giving of any security.

      The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized shares of Series C Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon
the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Series C Shares as shall
be issuable upon the exercise hereof. The Company covenants and agrees that,
upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, if
applicable, all Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

      5.    Fractional Warrants and Fractional Shares. If the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to
Section 3 hereof, the Company shall nevertheless not be required to issue
fractions of shares, upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise, or to
distribute certificates that evidence fractional shares. With respect to any
fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay
to the holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current
fair market value of such fractional share as may be prescribed by the Board of
Directors of the Company.

      6.    Warrant Holders Not Deemed Stockholders. No holder of this Warrant
shall, as such, be entitled to vote or to receive dividends or be deemed the
holder of Warrant Shares that may at any time be issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained herein be
construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights
of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of
directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof,
or for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at
any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action
(whether upon any recapitalization, issue or reclassification of stock, change
of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or
conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive
dividends or subscription rights, until such holder shall have exercised this
Warrant and been issued Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof.

      7.    Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when
delivered personally, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or telecopied or telexed and confirmed in writing and delivered
personally or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested
(a) if to the Holder of this Warrant, to the address of such Holder as shown on
the books of the Company, or (b) if to the Company, to the address set forth in
Section 1.4 of this Warrant; or at such other address as the Holder or the
Company may hereafter have advised the other.

      8.    Successors. All the covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties contained in this Warrant shall bind the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, distributees, successors, assigns
and transferees.

      9.    Governing Law. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware (not
including the choice of law rules

                                       8
<PAGE>
thereof) regardless of the jurisdiction of creation or domicile of the Company
or its successors or of the holder at any time hereof.

      10.   Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Warrant sets forth
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby. The failure of any party to seek redress for the violation
or to insist upon the strict performance of any term of this Warrant shall not
constitute a waiver of such term and such party shall be entitled to enforce
such term without regard to such forbearance. This Warrant may be amended, and
any breach of or compliance with any covenant, agreement, warranty or
representation may be waived, only if the Company has obtained the written
consent or written waiver of the Holder, and then such consent or waiver shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given.

      11.   Severability; Headings. If any term of this Warrant as applied to
any person or to any circumstance is prohibited, void, invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, such term shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without in any way affecting any
other term of this Warrant or affecting the validity or enforceability of this
Warrant or of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The Section headings in
this Warrant have been inserted for purposes of convenience only and shall have
no substantive effect.
