        DIGITAL ANGEL CORPORATION, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, LAURUS

or from time to time before 5:00 p.m., New York time, through five (5) years after such date (the "Expiration Date"), up to 125,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
(as hereinafter defined), $.005 par value, of the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below). The number and character of such shares of Common Stock and the Exercise Price are subject to
adjustment as provided herein. 

        As
used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, have the following respective meanings: 

        (a)   The

        (b)   The
term "Common Stock" includes (a) the Company's Common Stock, par value $.005 per share, and (b) any other securities into which or for which any of the
securities described in (a) may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise. 

        (c)   The
term "Other Securities" refers to any stock (other than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or otherwise) which the
holder of the Warrant at any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or which at any time shall be
issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise. 

        (d)   The
term "Exercise Price" shall be as follows: 

        a.     75,000
shares at $2.68 per share; 

        b.     35,000
shares at $2.91 per share; and 

        c.     15,000

        1.    Exercise of Warrant.    

        1.1    Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise.    From and after the date hereof and through and including the
Expiration Date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivery of an original or fax copy of the exercise notice attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4. 

        1.2    Fair Market Value.    Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination
Date") shall mean: 

        (a)   If
the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the National or SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq"), then the
closing or last sale price, respectively, reported for the last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date. 

        (b)   If
the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the Nasdaq but is traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board or BBX Exchange, then the mean of the average of
the closing bid and asked prices reported for the last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date. 

        (c)   Except
as provided in clause (d) below, if the Company's Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree or in the absence of
agreement by arbitration in accordance with the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and
training to pass on the matter to be decided. 

        (d)   If
the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the
Company's charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts
to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant are outstanding at the Determination Date. 

        2.    Procedure for Exercise.    

        2.1    Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise.    The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock
purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within 3 business days thereafter, the
Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such holder of
any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled
upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. 

2

 

        2.2    Exercise.    

        (a)   Payment
may be made either in (i) cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise
Price, (ii) by delivery of the Warrant, Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with Section (b) below, or (iii) by a combination of
any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Shares specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant), and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of
calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof
being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number
of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula: 

	X=Y	 	(A-B)
	 	 	

	 	 	A

	Where X =	 	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
	

Y =	
 	

the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
	

A =	
 	

the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
	

B =	
 	

Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

        3.    Effect of Reorganization, etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.    

        3.1    Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.    In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall
(a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under
any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by
the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date,
the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such
Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4. 

3

 

        3.2    Dissolution.    In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially
all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrant after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to Section 3.1 to a bank or trust company having its principal office in New York, NY,
as trustee for the Holder of the Warrant. 

        3.3    Continuation of Terms.    Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution
following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the
case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or
assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and
effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable
by the holders of the Warrant be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2. 

        4.    Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.    In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional
shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of
the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying
the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be
readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would
otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the
provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise. 

        5.    Certificate as to Adjustments.    In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or
deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of
shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The
Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof). 

4

 

        6.    Reservation of Stock, etc.    Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant. 

        7.    Assignment; Exchange of Warrant.    Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the
rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") with respect to any or all of the Shares. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the
Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance
with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, a legal opinion from the Transferor's counsel that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable
securities laws, the Company at its expense but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of
like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor. 

        8.    Replacement of Warrant.    On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and
amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like
tenor. 

        9.    Registration Rights.    The Holder of this Warrant has been granted certain registration rights by the Company.
These registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser of the Company's Convertible Note (the "Note") at or prior to the issue date of
this Warrant. 

        10.    Maximum Exercise.    The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant on an exercise date, in
connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an
exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made on an exercise
date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such date. For the purposes of the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than 4.99%. The restriction
described in this paragraph may be revoked upon 75 days' prior notice from the Holder to the Company and is automatically null and void upon an Event of Default under the Note. 

        11.    Warrant Agent.    The Company may, by written notice to the each holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for
the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant
pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent. 

        12.    Transfer on the Company's Books.    Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company
may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

5

 

        13.    Notices, etc.    All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be
mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the
Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company. 

        14.    Voluntary Adjustment by the Company.    The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the
then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company. 

        15.    Miscellaneous.    This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the
state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state of New York. The individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts
and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or
unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with
such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The
headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of
construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party. 

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Warrant under seal as of the date first written above.

        1.    PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTE AND WARRANT.

        1.1   Purchase of Note and Warrant. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6
below, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company the Note and the Warrant. The purchase price (the "Purchase

the Purchaser is then purchasing hereunder along with the Warrant, duly executed on behalf of the Company and registered in the name of the Purchaser or its designee. 

        2.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

        The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement as set forth below except as disclosed in the Company's filings under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (collectively, the "Exchange Act Filings") or the Schedules hereto. 

        2.1   Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and is qualified to do business and in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or
the nature of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this
Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations, financial
condition or prospects of the Company, or on the transactions contemplated hereby, or by the other documents, instruments or the agreements to be entered into in connection herewith, or on the
authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Offering Documents. 

        2.2   Subsidiaries. Schedule 2.2 hereto sets forth each subsidiary of the Company, showing the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or organization and showing the percentage of each person's ownership of the outstanding stock or other interests of such subsidiary. For the purposes of this Agreement, "subsidiary"
shall mean any corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of the securities or other ownership interest having ordinary voting power (absolutely or contingently) for the election of
directors or other persons performing similar functions are at the time owned directly or indirectly by the Company and/or any of its other subsidiaries. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock
of each subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or agreements
granted or issued by or binding upon any subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or
evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise
acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company nor
any subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary. 

        2.3   Capitalization; Voting Rights. 

        (a)   The authorized capital stock of the Company, as of June 30, 2003, consists of (i)1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $1.75 per share, no shares of which are issued and outstanding, and (ii) 95,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.005 per share (the "Common
Stock"), 26,858,239 shares of which are issued and outstanding. 

4

 

        (b)   Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.3(b), other than (i) the shares reserved for issuance under the Company's
stock option plans; and (ii) shares which may be granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including preemptive
rights and rights of first refusal) to subscribe to, call or commitment of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company
(such Schedule 2.3 shall provide the exercise or conversion term, exercise or conversion price, vesting period, holders of such options, warrants or convertible securities and the amount
granted or issued to each holder). Except as described in Schedule 2.3(b), there exists no proxy or stockholder agreements, or arrangements or agreements of any kind, for the purchase or
acquisition from the Company of any of its securities. Neither the offer, issuance or sale of any of the Note or Warrant, or the issuance of any of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, nor the
consummation of any transaction contemplated hereby, will result in a change in the price or number of any securities of the Company outstanding, under anti-dilution or other similar
provisions contained in or affecting any such securities. 

        (c)   All issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued
and are fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) together with the offer and sale of all convertible securities, rights, warrants, or options of the Company, were issued in compliance with all
applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities, and no stockholder has a right of rescission or damages against the Company with respect thereto. 

        (d)   The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of the Common Stock are as stated in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to the date of this Agreement (the "Charter"). The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares have been duly and
validly reserved for issuance. When issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Company's Charter, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will
be free of any liens or encumbrances, other than those that may be created with respect to the Purchaser or its property; provided, however, that the
Securities may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time a transfer is proposed, except to
the extent that such restrictions shall be eliminated by virtue of the Registration Rights Agreement. 

        2.4   Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate action on the part of the Company necessary for the authorization of
this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Funds Escrow Agreement and the Security Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction
Documents"), the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder at the applicable Closing, and the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Note and Warrant
has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its board of directors or stockholders is required. This Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, when executed and delivered and to the extent that the Company is a party thereto, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their
terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights, and
(b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies. The sale of the Note 

5

 

and
the subsequent conversion of the Note into Conversion Shares are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied
with. The issuance of the Warrant and the subsequent exercise of the Warrant for Warrant Shares are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been
properly waived or complied with. The Note and the Warrant, when executed and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors' rights, and (b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies. 

        2.5   Liabilities. The Company has no material liabilities and, to the best of its knowledge, knows of no material contingent
liabilities, except current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and liabilities disclosed in the Company's most recent Exchange Act Filing. 

        2.6   Agreements; Action. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.6: 

        (a)   There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or

course of business. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.6(b), neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in default with respect to any indebtedness. 

        (c)   For the purposes of subsections (a) and (b) above, all indebtedness, liabilities, agreements,
understandings, instruments, contracts and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be
aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of such subsections. 

6

 

        2.7   Obligations to Related Parties. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.7, there are no obligations of the Company to
officers, directors, stockholders or employees of the Company other than (a) for payment of salary for services rendered, (b) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of
the Company, (c) for other standard employee benefits made generally available to all employees (including stock option agreements outstanding under any stock option plan approved by the Board

to the Company, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $50,000 or have any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which

company) which may compete with the Company. Except as described above, no officer, director or stockholder, or any member of their immediate families, is, directly or indirectly, interested in any
material contract with the Company and no agreements, understandings or proposed transactions are contemplated between the Company and any such person. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.7, the

Transaction Documents, there has not been: 

        (a)   Any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, prospects or operations of the Company, other than changes in
the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate has had or is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such assets, liabilities, financial condition,
prospects or operations of the Company; 

        (b)   Any resignation or termination of any officer, key employee or group of employees of the Company;

good title to its leasehold estates, in each case subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, lease, encumbrance or charge, other than (a) those resulting from taxes which have not yet become

in good operating condition and repair and are reasonably fit and usable for the purposes for which they are being used. The Company is in compliance with all material terms of each lease to which it

relating to the foregoing proprietary rights, nor is the Company bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information and other proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity other than such licenses or agreements arising from the purchase of
"off the shelf" or standard products. 

        (b)   The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has violated any of the patents, trademarks,

        (c)   The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions, trade secrets or proprietary
information of any of its employees made prior to their employment by the Company, except for inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information that have been rightfully assigned to the Company. 

8

 

        2.11 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of any term of its Charter or its bylaws
as currently in effect (the "Bylaws"), or of any material provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument or contract to which it
is party or by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which
it is a party, and the issuance and sale of the Note and Warrant by the Company and the other Securities by the Company each pursuant hereto and thereto, will not, with or without the passage of time
or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term or provision, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien,
encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval
applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. 

        2.12 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, currently
threatened against the Company or any subsidiary that prevents the Company to enter into this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.12 hereto, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or involving the
Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective properties or assets which individually or in the aggregate would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not 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
currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate. 

        2.13 Tax Returns and Payments. The Company has timely filed all tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed
by it of which the failure to file would have a material adverse effect. All taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and to the Company's knowledge all other taxes
due and payable by the Company on or before the Closing, have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they become delinquent. The Company has not been advised (a) that any of its returns,
federal, state or other, have been or are being audited as of the date hereof, or (b) of any deficiency in assessment or proposed judgment to its federal, state or other taxes. The Company has
no knowledge of any liability of any tax to be imposed upon its properties or assets as of the date of this Agreement that is not adequately provided for. 

        2.14 Employees. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.14, the Company has no collective bargaining agreements with any of
its employees. There is no labor union organizing activity pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened with respect to the Company. The Company is not a party to or bound by any currently
effective employment contract, deferred compensation arrangement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan, retirement agreement or other employee compensation plan or agreement. To the
Company's knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor any consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or
any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company; and to the
Company's knowledge the continued employment by the Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any such
violation. The 

9

 

Company
is not aware that any of its 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 their duties to the Company. The Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. Except for
employees who have a current effective employment agreement with the Company, no employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or to any material
compensation following termination of employment with the Company. The Company is not aware that any officer, key employee or group of employees intends to terminate his, her or their employment with
the Company, nor does the Company have a present intention to terminate the employment of any officer, key employee or group of employees. 

        2.15 Registration Rights and Voting Rights. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.15, the Company is presently not under
any obligation, and has not granted any rights, or a party to any agreement, to register any of the Company's presently outstanding securities or any of its securities that may hereafter be issued. To
the Company's knowledge, and except as set forth in Schedule 2.3(b), no stockholder of the Company has entered into any agreement with respect to the voting or transfer of any equity securities
of the Company. 

        2.16 Compliance with Laws; Permits. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation in any material respect of any
applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of
its properties which violation would materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or prospects of the Company. No governmental orders,
permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the issuance of any of the Securities, except such as has been duly and validly obtained or filed, or with respect to any filings that must be made after the Closing, as will be filed in
a timely manner. The Company has all material franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which would
materially and adversely affect the business, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company. 

        2.17 Environmental and Safety Laws. The Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to
the environment or occupational health and safety, and to its knowledge, no material expenditures are or will be required in order to comply with any such existing statute, law or regulation. No
Hazardous Materials (as defined below) are used or have been used, stored, or disposed of by the Company or, to the Company's knowledge, by any other person or entity on any property owned, leased or
used by the Company. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, "Hazardous Materials" shall mean (a) materials which are listed or otherwise
defined as "hazardous" or "toxic" under any applicable local, state, federal and/or foreign laws and
regulations that govern the existence and/or remedy of contamination on property, the protection of the environment from contamination, the control of hazardous wastes, or other activities involving
hazardous substances, including building materials, or (b) any petroleum products or nuclear materials. 

        2.18 Valid Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this
Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities will be exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration
and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. 

10

 

        2.19 Full Disclosure. The Company has provided the Purchaser with all information requested by the Purchaser in connection
with its decision to purchase the Note and Warrant, including all information the Company believes is reasonably necessary to make such investment decision. Neither this Agreement, the exhibits and
schedules hereto, the other Transaction Documents nor any other document delivered by the Company to Purchaser or its attorneys or agents in connection herewith or therewith or with the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. Any financial projections and other estimates provided to the Purchaser by the Company were based on the Company's experience in the industry and
on assumptions of fact and opinion as to future events which the Company, at the date of the issuance of such projections or estimates, believed to be reasonable. As of the date hereof, no facts have
come to the attention of the Company that would, in its opinion, require the Company to revise or amplify in any material respect the assumptions underlying such projections and other estimates or the
conclusions derived therefrom. 

        2.20 Insurance. The Company has general commercial, product liability, fire and casualty insurance policies with coverage
customary for companies similarly situated to the Company in the same or similar business. 

        2.21 SEC Reports. The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and, since January 1, 2002, the Company has timely filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules,
forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, except for its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
The Company has furnished the Purchaser with copies of (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, (ii) its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003 and (iii) its Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on April 17, 2003 (collectively, the
"SEC Reports"). The Company is eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. Each SEC Report was, at the
time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC
Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in

        2.22 No Market Manipulation. The Company has not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or

        2.24 No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf,
has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this

Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

        2.26 Dilution. The Company understands the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognizes that they may have a
potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant is binding upon the
Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company. 

        2.27 Material Agreements. There is no agreement that has not been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a registration
statement or other applicable form the breach of which could have a material adverse effect as to the Company and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the

exemption from registration is available.

        4.4   Reporting Requirements. The Company will timely file with the SEC all reports required to be filed pursuant to the
Exchange Act and refrain from terminating its status as an issuer required by the Exchange Act to file reports thereunder even if the Exchange Act or the rules or regulations thereunder would permit

regard to any limitations on exercises). 

        4.12 Confidentiality. The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name
of the Purchaser, unless expressly agreed to by the Purchaser or unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement. The
Purchaser agrees that it will not disclose and will maintain as confidential all information it receives under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents, unless it is or becomes generally available to
the public other than as a result of disclosure by Purchaser, it is disclosed pursuant to a court order or the requirement of any governmental authority, or is required to be disclosed by law,
regulation or legal process or is otherwise compelled in litigation. 

        4.13 Corporate Existence. So long as the Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall maintain its
corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and the Transaction Documents and (ii) is a publicly traded
company whose common stock is quoted or listed on a Principal Market. 

        4.14 Reissuance of Securities. The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing the Securities without the legends set
forth in Section 5.7 above at such time as (a) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act, or (b) upon resale
subject to an effective registration statement after such Securities are registered under the 1933 Act. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with all resales pursuant to
Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions or such transfer agent instructions necessary to allow such resales provided the Company and its counsel receive reasonably
requested representations from the selling Purchaser and broker, if any. 

        4.15 Priority of Notes. For so long as the Note is outstanding, in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
issues or incurs any Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), it shall, or it shall cause any Subsidiary to, first enter into, and cause the lender to enter into, a Subordination Agreement, containing
terms and conditions acceptable to the Purchaser. 

        4.16 Expenses and Other Payments. The Company shall reimburse the Purchaser for its reasonable legal fees for services
rendered to the Purchaser in preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and reasonable expenses in connection with the Purchaser's due diligence review of the Company and
relevant matters. Amounts payable hereunder and under Section 6.10 of the Note shall be withheld by the Purchaser from the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing. 

        4.17 Transfer and Depositary Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"), and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates,
registered in the name of the Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Purchaser to the Company
upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive
legend specified in Section 3.7. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.18 will be given by the
Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the 

16

 

books
and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. If the Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally
acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable
assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the
Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such
denominations as specified by the Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Purchaser
by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.18
will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 4.18, that the Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or
other security being required.

Purchaser's officers, directors, agents, affiliates, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal
fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the the Purchaser which results, arises out of or is based upon the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement including but not limited
to (i) any misrepresentation by Company or breach of any warranty by Company in this Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any Transaction Document, or (ii) any
breach or default in performance by Company of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by Company hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company and the Purchaser relating hereto. 

        7.2   Purchaser's Indemnification. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Company and each
of the Company's officers, directors, agents, affiliates, control persons and principal shareholders, at all times against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including
reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Company which results, arises out of or is based upon any breach of the representations of the Purchaser contained in
Section 3 of this Agreement. 

        7.3   Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 or 7.2 of
notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 or 7.2, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise under this Section except to the extent the defense of the claim is prejudiced. In case such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, if counsel for the indemnifying party
concludes that a single counsel cannot under applicable legal and ethical considerations, represent both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties have the
right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties; provided that there shall be no more than one such separate counsel. After
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the
provisions of said Section 7.1 or 7.2 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have
employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action or (iii) the
indemnifying party has, in its sole discretion, authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party.

        8.7   Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party,
upon any breach, default or non-compliance by another party under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be
a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. All remedies, either under this
Agreement, the Note, the Warrant or the other Transaction Documents, by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative. 

        8.8   Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given:
(a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day,
(c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address as set forth on the signature page hereof, with a copy to
Michele D. Vaillancourt, Esq., Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A., Suite 3500, 225 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402, facsimile number (612) 604-6800, and to the Purchaser at
the address set forth on the signature page hereto for such Purchaser, with a copy in the case of the Purchaser to John Tucker, Esq., 152 West 57th Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10019, facsimile
number (212) 541-4434, or at such other address as the Company or the Purchaser may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other parties hereto. 

        8.9   Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of the Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. 

        8.10 Facsimile Signatures; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures and in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. 

        8.11 Broker's Fees. Except as described in Schedule 8.11, each party hereto represents and warrants that, except as
each party may have notified the other in writing on or prior to the date hereof, no agent, broker, investment banker, person or firm acting on behalf of or under the authority of such party hereto is
or will be entitled to any broker's or finder's fee or any other commission directly or indirectly in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Each party hereto further agrees to
indemnify each other party for any claims, losses or expenses incurred by such other party as a result of the representation in this Section 8.11 being untrue. 

        8.12 Construction. Each party acknowledges that its legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Agreement and,
therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Agreement to favor any party
against the other.
