                             STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Registered Owner: _________________

           This certifies that, for value received, Level 8 Systems, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, the ("Company") grants the following rights to the
Registered Owner, or assigns, of this Warrant:

1. Issue. Upon tender (as defined in Section 5) to the Company, the Company,
within three (3) Business Days of the date thereof, shall issue to the
Registered Owner, or assigns, up to the number of shares specified in Section 2
of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock that the Registered
Owner, or assigns, is otherwise entitled to purchase.

2. Number of Shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock that the
Registered Owner, or assigns, of this Warrant is entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares") is ______________ shares,
subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in Section 6. The Company
shall at all times reserve and hold available sufficient shares of Common Stock
to satisfy all conversion and purchase rights represented by outstanding
convertible securities, options and warrants, including this Warrant. The
Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the purchase and the issuance of the shares, and shall not have
any legend or restrictions on resale, except as required by Section 3.1(b) of
the Exchange Agreement.

representing the price per share at which the shares of stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant may be purchased, is Thirty-Eight Cents ($0.38) (the
"Exercise Price").

                                       35
<PAGE>

4. Exercise Period. This Warrant may be exercised from the Closing Date (as
defined in the Exchange Agreement) up to and including October 16, 2005 (the
"Exercise Period"). If not exercised in compliance with Section 5 during this
period, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and
lapse.

5. Tender; Issuance of Certificates.

     a. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by (i) actual
delivery of (a) the Exercise Price in cash, (b) a duly executed Warrant Exercise
Form, a copy of which is attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A, properly
executed by the Registered Owner, or assigns, of this Warrant, and (c) by
surrender of this Warrant, or (ii) if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the
Registered Owner is not then registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, delivery to the Company of (i) the Warrant
and (ii) a written notice of an election to effect a "Cashless Exercise" (as
defined below) for the Warrant Shares specified in the Warrant Exercise Form.
The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Registered
Owner as of the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant
shall have been surrendered, the completed Warrant Exercise Form shall have been
delivered and payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above.
Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Company, the payment, Warrant and
Warrant Exercise Form must be delivered to the principal office of the Company
either in person or as set for in Section 14.

     b. Commencing sixty (60) days from the Filing Date (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), if, and only if, at the time of exercise of this
Warrant, the Warrant Shares are not saleable pursuant to an effective
registration statement, then in addition to the exercise of all or a part of
this Warrant by payment of the Exercise Price in cash as provided above, and in
lieu of such payment, the Registered Owner shall have the right to effect a
cashless exercise (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the event of a Cashless Exercise,
the Registered Owner may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part by
surrendering this Warrant, together with a duly executed Warrant Exercise Form,
in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x)
the number of shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised multiplied by
(y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Per Share Market Value of the
Common Stock less the Exercise Price then in effect and the denominator of which
is the Per Share Market Value (in each case adjusted for fractional shares as
herein provided).

     c. In lieu of physical delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided the
Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depositary Trust Company
("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the
Registered Owner and in compliance with the provisions hereof, the Company shall
use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the
Warrant Shares to the Registered Owner by crediting the account of the
Registered Owner's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system. The time period for delivery described herein shall apply to
the electronic transmittals described herein. The Company and its transfer agent
shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the instructions which reasonably
appear on their face to be issued on behalf of the Holder, and will have no
liability with respect to any misdelivery of Warrant Shares if such instructions
are followed.

                                       36
<PAGE>

     d. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the
aggregate number of shares specified in the Warrant Exercise Form, shall be
delivered to the Registered Owner within a reasonable time, not exceeding three
(3) Business Days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be reasonably
requested by the Registered Owner and shall be registered in the name of the
Registered Owner or such other name as shall be designated by such Registered
Owner. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this
Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery
of such certificates, deliver to the Registered Owner a new Warrant representing
the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised.

6. Adjustment of Exercise Price.

     a. Common Stock Dividends; Common Stock Splits; Reverse Common Stock
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a) shall
pay a stock dividend on its Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (d) issue by reclassification of
shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the
Exercise Price thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price
by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (6)(a) shall
become effective on the effective date of any dividend, distribution,
subdivision, combination or re-classification.

     b. Rights; Warrants. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall issue rights or warrants to all of the holders of Common
Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the Exercise Price and similar rights are not
concurrently distributed to the Registered Holder, the Exercise Price shall
thereafter be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or
warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase, and the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the
date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase
at the Exercise Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or
warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants.

                                       37
<PAGE>

     c. Subscription Rights. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all of the holders of Common Stock evidence of
its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any security (excluding those referred to in paragraphs 6(a) and (b) above) and
similar rights are not concurrently distributed to the Registered Owner, then in
each such case the Exercise Price at which the Warrant shall thereafter be
exercisable shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the denominator of which
shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock determined as of the record
date mentioned above, and the numerator of which shall be such Per Share Market
Value of the Common Stock on such record date less the then fair market value at
such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by
the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a
distribution exceeding ten percent (10%) of the net assets of the Company, such
fair market value shall be determined by one Appraiser selected in good faith by
the Registered Owner of the Warrant; and provided, further, that the Company,
after receipt of the determination by such Appraiser shall have the right to
select in good faith an additional Appraiser meeting similar qualifications in
which case the fair market value shall be equal to the average of the
determinations by each such Appraiser. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above.

     d. Rounding. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest l/l00th of a share, as the case may be.

     e. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant
to paragraphs 6(a), (b) or (c), the Company shall promptly deliver to the
Registered Owner a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment
and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

     f. Events Triggering Redemption. The following are "Redemption Events"
under this Section 6.(f): (A) any reclassification of the Common Stock which
would have a material adverse affect on the rights of holders of the securities
into which the Warrant is exercisable, (B) any suspension from listing or
delisting of the Common Stock such that the Common Stock is not listed on Nasdaq
or any Subsequent Market for a period of ten consecutive Trading Days, or (C) a
breach by the Company of its obligations under this Warrant, but only if such
breach continues for a period of at least 10 Trading Days after the Company is
notified by any Holder of such breach.

     On and after notice of the occurrence of a Redemption Event, the Holder
shall have the option to require the Company to redeem (the "Redemption Right")
in cash and subject to the terms of payment provisions set forth in Section 5,
from funds legally available therefor at the time of such redemption, the
Holder's shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and
receivable upon the exercise of such Holder's Warrant at a price per share equal
to the product of (i) the difference between (A) Average Price immediately
preceding the effective date, the date of the closing, date of occurrence or the
date of the announcement, as the case may be, of the Redemption Event triggering
such Redemption Right and (B) the Exercise Price, and (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock that would have been issued upon the exercise of the Warrant
immediately prior to such Redemption Event.

                                       38
<PAGE>

     g. Notice of Certain Events. If:

          (i)  the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution)
               on its Common Stock; or

         (ii)  the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on
               or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

        (iii)  the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of the
               Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
               shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or

         (iv)  the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required
               in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of
               the Company, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is
               a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
               assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby
               the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or
               property; or

          (v)  the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
               dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
               Company;

then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for
the purpose of exercise of this Warrant, and shall cause to be delivered to the
Registered Owner, at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable record or
effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as
of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend,
distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the
date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

     h. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Subject to the Issuance Cap exception in
Section 6(j) below, if the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, takes any of the actions described in this Section 6, then, in
order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise
Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 6.

                                       39
<PAGE>

          (i)  Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.
               Subject to the Issuance Cap exception in Section 6(j) below, if
               at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company issues
               or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of
               Common Stock (other than (1) the Underlying Shares or shares of
               Common Stock deemed to have been issued by the Company in
               connection with an Approved Stock Plan, (2) the shares of Common
               Stock issuable upon the exercise of any options or warrants
               outstanding and listed in Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase
               Agreement, (3) the securities to be issued in the transactions
               set forth on such Schedule 2.1(c), (4) the shares of Common Stock
               issuable upon an Underwritten Offer (as defined in the
               Registration Rights Agreement) occurring before December 31,
               2001, or (5) the shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have
               been issued as consideration for an acquisition by the Company of
               a division, assets or business (or stock constituting any portion
               thereof) from another person) for a consideration per share less
               than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
               issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue or sale, the
               Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal
               to the lesser of: (1) the Adjusted Price in such issuance or sale
               or (2) the Average Price on the date of such issuance or sale.
               For the purpose of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under
               this Section 6(h)(i), the following shall be applicable:

     (A) Issuance of Options. Subject to the Issuance Cap exception in Section
6(j) below, if at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company in any
manner grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock
or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock (other than (1) the Underlying Shares or shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan, (2)
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any options or warrants
and listed in Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement, (3) the securities to
be issued in the transactions set forth on such Schedule 2.1(c), (4) the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon an Underwritten Offer (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) occurring before December 31, 2001, (5) the
shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued as consideration for
an acquisition by the Company of a division, assets or business (or stock
constituting any portion thereof) from another person) (such rights or options
being herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or
securities being herein called "Convertible Securities") and the price per share
for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such grant, then the Exercise Price shall
be adjusted to equal to the lesser of: (1) the Adjusted Price upon the exercise
of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities or (2) the Average Price on the date of such grant. No adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock
or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the
actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.

                                       40
<PAGE>

     (B) Issuance of Convertible Securities. Subject to the Issuance Cap
exception in Section 6(j) below, if at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion
or exchange (other than the Underlying Shares or shares of Common Stock deemed
to have been issued by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan,
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any options or warrants
outstanding and listed in Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement, shares of
Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued as consideration for an
acquisition by the Company of a division, assets or business (or stock
constituting any portion thereof) from another person) is less than the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to issuance or sale, then the Exercise Price
shall be adjusted to equal to the lesser of: (1) the Adjusted Price issuable
upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or (2) the
Average Price on the date of such issuance or sale.

     (C) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If there is a change at
any time in (i) the purchase price provided for in any Options, (ii) the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issuance, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities or (iii) the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock,
then the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be readjusted
to the lesser of (1) the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such
time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for
such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion
rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold or (2)
the Average Price on the date of such change; provided that no adjustment shall
be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price
then in effect.

     (D) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining
the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 6, the following shall be
applicable:

                                       41
<PAGE>

          (I) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock,
     Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been
     issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
     to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. In case any Common
     Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
     consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than
     cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration,
     except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the
     amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Average Price
     of such security on Trading Day immediately preceding the date of receipt
     thereof. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are
     issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any
     merger in which the Company is the surviving entity the amount of
     consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion
     of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
     attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as
     the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or
     securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the registered
     owners of a majority of the Underlying Shares of Warrants then outstanding.
     If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after
     the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the
     fair value of such consideration will be determined within forty-eight (48)
     hours of the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an Appraiser
     selected in good faith by the Company and agreed upon in good faith by the
     holders of a majority of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination
     of such Appraiser shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

          (II) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in
     connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
     together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
     consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the
     Options will be deemed to have been issued for an aggregate consideration
     of $.001.

          (III) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
     outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or
     for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned
     or held will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

          (IV) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
     Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or
     other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible
     Securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or
     Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date
     of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
     issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such
     other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
     subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

          (V) Certain Events. Subject to the Issuance Cap exception in Section
     6(j) below, if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions
     of this Section 6(h)(i) (subject to the exceptions stated therein) but not
     expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
     the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other
     rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will
     make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price so as to protect the
     rights of the Registered Owner, or assigns, of this Warrant; provided,
     however, that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price as
     otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6(h).

                                       42
<PAGE>

          (VI) "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" means, at any given time, the
     number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time, plus
     the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
     Sections 7.1(g)(ii)(A) and 7(g)(ii)(B) hereof regardless of whether the
     Options or Convertible Securities are actually exercisable at such time,
     but excluding any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
     Warrants

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any provision in this
Section 6 cause the Exercise Price to be greater than the Exercise Price on the
date of issuance of this Warrant.

          i. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
     Exercise Price as a result of the calculations made in this Section 6, this
     Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to receive, at the adjusted
     Exercise Price, that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the
     nearest one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product of the
     aggregate number of shares covered by this Warrant immediately prior to
     such adjustment and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
     adjustment of the Exercise Price by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect
     immediately after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

          j. Issuance Cap. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, the
     provisions of Section 6(h) shall not be deemed in effect until such time as
     the Company exceeds the Issuance Cap as defined in Section 7.1(k) of the
     Series A2 Certificate of Designation.

7. Optional Redemption.

     a. Optional Redemption. This Warrant is redeemable in whole or in part at
the option of the Company at any time, subject to the conditions herein, (the
"Optional Redemption"):

          (i) Commencing on the First Business Day immediately after the first
     anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that the closing price of the
     Company's Common Stock is greater than Five Dollars ($5.00) for twenty (20)
     consecutive Trading Days and subject to the other conditions set forth
     herein.

          (ii) After the Original Issue Date, if the Warrants outstanding
     represent less than 5% of the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of
     the Warrants issued on the Original Issue Date remain unexercised,
     excluding from such calculation any Warrants held by an Affiliate of the
     Company as of such date (other than any Holder or transferees or successors
     or assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by
     reason of its holding of Preferred Stock and Warrants).

                                       43
<PAGE>

          b. Redemption Notice. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section
     7(a), so long as (i) any Registration Statement required to be filed and be
     effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is then in effect
     and has been in effect and sales of all of the Registrable Securities can
     be made thereunder for at least twenty (20) days prior to the Redemption
     Notice Date (as defined below) and (ii) the Company has a sufficient number
     of authorized shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon full
     exercise of the outstanding Warrants, upon ten (10) Business Days' prior
     written notice to the Registered Owner (a "Redemption Notice"), the Warrant
     may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption price
     equal to $.001 per Warrant (the "Redemption Price").

          c. Mechanics of Redemption. The Company shall exercise its right to
     redeem by delivering its Redemption Notice by facsimile and overnight
     courier to each Registered Owner (such date that the Redemption Notice is
     given on the "Redemption Notice Date"). Such Redemption Notice shall
     indicate (A) the Redemption Price, (B) each Registered Owner's pro rata
     allocation of such maximum amount, and (C) a confirmation of the date that
     the Company shall effect the redemption (the "Redemption Date"). The
     Redemption Date shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days and not more
     than sixty (60) calendar days after the Redemption Notice Date.
     Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7(c), the Company shall convert
     any Warrant pursuant to Section 5 if the Warrant Exercise Form for a
     Warrant submitted for exercise is (i) received by the Company, together
     with the Exercise Price in cash and the Warrant, before the Redemption
     Date, (ii) for an Exercise Price greater than or equal to the Redemption
     Price (appropriately adjusted in accordance with the terms hereof) and
     (iii) in excess of such Registered Owner's pro rata allocation of the
     maximum Redemption Price indicated in its Redemption Notice.

          d. Payment of Redemption Price. The Company shall pay the applicable
     Redemption Price to the Registered Owner of the Warrants being redeemed in
     cash on the Redemption Date (or, if later, the Business Day following the
     Business Day upon which the Company receives the Warrant). If the Company
     shall fail to pay the applicable Redemption Price to such Registered Owner
     on the Redemption Date, in addition to any remedy such Registered Owner may
     have under this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement and the Exchange Agreement,
     such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month until
     paid in full.

     8. Nasdaq Limitation. If on any date (the "Determination Date") (a) the
Common Stock is listed for trading on Nasdaq, (b) the Exercise Price then in
effect is such that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would
then be issuable upon exercise in full of the then outstanding Warrants as if
all such Warrants were exercised on such Determination Date (without regard to
any limitations on exercises) and as payment of interest thereon, as would equal
or exceed 20% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the "Closing Date" (the "Issuable Maximum"), and (c) the
Company shall not have previously obtained the vote of the shareholders of the
Company (the "Shareholder Approval"), if any, as may be required by the
applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq (or any successor entity) to approve
the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Issuable Maximum in a
private placement whereby shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued
at a price that is less than the greater of book value or fair market value of
the Common Stock, then with respect to the aggregate number of Warrants then
held by the Holders for which an exercise in accordance with the Exercise Price
would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of such Holder's
pro rata allocation (as described below) of the Issuable Maximum (the "Excess
Amount"), the Company may elect to pay cash to the Holders in an amount equal to
the product of the Average Price on the Determination Date multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon the exercise of the
Warrants resulting in the Excess Amount (the "Prepayment Amount"). Any such
election by the Company must be made in writing to the Holders within five (5)
Trading Days after the first such Determination Date and the payment of such
Prepayment Amount applicable to such prepayment must be made in full to the
Holders with ten (10) Business Days after the date such notice is delivered. If
the Company does not deliver timely a notice of its election to prepay under
this Section or shall, if it shall have delivered such a notice, fail to pay the
Prepayment Amount hereunder within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, then each
Holder shall have the option by written notice to the Company, to, if
applicable, declare any such notice given by the Company, if given, to be null
and void and require the Company to either: (i) use its best efforts to obtain
the Shareholder Approval applicable to such issuance as soon as is possible, but
in any event not later than the 60th day after such request unless the Company
has previously used its best efforts to, but has failed to, obtain such approval
(provided, that if the Company shall fail to obtain the Shareholder Approval
during such 60-day period, the Holder may demand the cash payment set forth in
Section 8(ii) herein) or (ii) pay cash to such Holder, within five (5) Business
Days of such Holder's notice, in an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount for
such Holder's portion of the Excess Amount. The payment of the Prepayment Amount
to each Holder pursuant to this Section shall be determined on a pro rata basis
upon the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants held by such Holder on the Determination Date which is in excess of the
pro rata allocation of the Issuable Maximum. If the Company fails to pay the
Prepayment Amount in full pursuant to this Section within five (5) Business Days
after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 20%
per annum to the converting Holder, accruing interest daily from the date of
conversion until such amount, plus all such interest thereon, if any, is paid in
full. Until the Company has received the Shareholder Approval no Holder shall be
issued, upon exercise of a Warrant , shares of Common Stock in an amount greater
than such Holder's allocated portion of the Issuable Maximum pursuant to Section
8.

     9. Restriction on Exercise by Either the Registered Owner or the Company.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any
Registered Owner have the right or be required to exercise this Warrant if as a
result of such conversion the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Registered Owner and its Affiliates would exceed
4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise. The
Company shall be entitled to rely on a Notice of Exercise in the form of Exhibit
A hereto in issuing shares of Common Stock to a Registered Owner. For purposes
of this Section 9, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The provisions
of this Section 9 may be waived by a Registered Owner as to itself (and solely
as to itself) upon not less than 65 days prior written notice to the Company.

Secretary at its principal office and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an
officer's certificate showing the adjusted number of shares determined as herein

Registered Owner: ______________________________

         This certifies that, for value received, Level 8 Systems, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, the ("Company") grants the following rights to the
Registered Owner, or assigns, of this Warrant:

     1. Issue. Upon tender (as defined in Section 5) to the Company, the
Company, within three (3) Business Days of the date thereof, shall issue to the
Registered Owner, or assigns, up to the number of shares specified in Section 2
of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock that the Registered
Owner, or assigns, is otherwise entitled to purchase.

     2. Number of Shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock that the
Registered Owner, or assigns, of this Warrant is entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares") is ____________ shares, subject
to adjustment from time to time as set forth in Section 6. The Company shall at
all times reserve and hold available sufficient shares of Common Stock to
satisfy all conversion and purchase rights represented by outstanding
convertible securities, options and warrants, including this Warrant. The
Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the purchase and the issuance of the shares, and shall not have
any legend or restrictions on resale, except as required by Section 3.1(b) of
the Exchange Agreement.

     3. Exercise Price. The initial per share exercise price of this Warrant,
representing the price per share at which the shares of stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant may be purchased, is Thirty-Eight Cents ($0.38) (the
"Exercise Price").

<PAGE>

     4. Exercise Period. This Warrant may be exercised from the Closing Date (as
defined in the Exchange Agreement) up to and including October 16, 2005 (the
"Exercise Period"). If not exercised in compliance with Section 5 during this
period, this Warrant and all rights granted under this Warrant shall expire and
lapse.

     5. Tender; Issuance of Certificates.

          a. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by (i) actual
     delivery of (a) the Exercise Price in cash, (b) a duly executed Warrant
     Exercise Form, a copy of which is attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A,
     properly executed by the Registered Owner, or assigns, of this Warrant, and
     (c) by surrender of this Warrant, or (ii) if the resale of the Warrant
     Shares by the Registered Owner is not then registered pursuant to an
     effective registration statement under the Securities Act, delivery to the
     Company of (i) the Warrant and (ii) a written notice of an election to
     effect a "Cashless Exercise" (as defined below) for the Warrant Shares
     specified in the Warrant Exercise Form. The Warrant Shares so purchased
     shall be deemed to be issued to the Registered Owner as of the close of
     business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been
     surrendered, the completed Warrant Exercise Form shall have been delivered
     and payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above. Unless
     otherwise directed in writing by the Company, the payment, Warrant and
     Warrant Exercise Form must be delivered to the principal office of the
     Company either in person or as set for in Section 14.

          b. Commencing sixty (60) days from the Filing Date (as defined in the
     Registration Rights Agreement), if, and only if, at the time of exercise of
     this Warrant, the Warrant Shares are not saleable pursuant to an effective
     registration statement, then in addition to the exercise of all or a part
     of this Warrant by payment of the Exercise Price in cash as provided above,
     and in lieu of such payment, the Registered Owner shall have the right to
     effect a cashless exercise (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the event of a
     Cashless Exercise, the Registered Owner may exercise this Warrant in whole
     or in part by surrendering this Warrant, together with a duly executed
     Warrant Exercise Form, in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock
     equal to the product of (x) the number of shares as to which this Warrant
     is being exercised multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is
     the Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock less the Exercise Price then
     in effect and the denominator of which is the Per Share Market Value (in
     each case adjusted for fractional shares as herein provided).

          c. In lieu of physical delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided the
     Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depositary Trust Company
     ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request
     of the Registered Owner and in compliance with the provisions hereof, the
     Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to
     electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to the Registered Owner by
     crediting the account of the Registered Owner's Prime Broker with DTC
     through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. The time period for
     delivery described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals
     described herein. The Company and its transfer agent shall be entitled to
     rely in good faith on the instructions which reasonably appear on their
     face to be issued on behalf of the Holder, and will have no liability with
     respect to any misdelivery of Warrant Shares if such instructions are
     followed.

                                       2
<PAGE>

          d. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the
     aggregate number of shares specified in the Warrant Exercise Form, shall be
     delivered to the Registered Owner within a reasonable time, not exceeding
     three (3) Business Days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised.
     The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be
     reasonably requested by the Registered Owner and shall be registered in the
     name of the Registered Owner or such other name as shall be designated by
     such Registered Owner. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in
     part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its
     expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the
     Registered Owner a new Warrant representing the number of shares with
     respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.

     6. Adjustment of Exercise Price.

          a. Common Stock Dividends; Common Stock Splits; Reverse Common Stock
     Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a)
     shall pay a stock dividend on its Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding
     shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine
     outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (d)
     issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital
     stock of the Company, then the Exercise Price thereafter shall be
     determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction the numerator of
     which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
     shares, if any) outstanding before such event and the denominator of which
     shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event.
     Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (6)(a) shall become
     effective on the effective date of any dividend, distribution, subdivision,
     combination or re-classification.

          b. Rights; Warrants. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
     outstanding, shall issue rights or warrants to all of the holders of Common
     Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at
     a price per share less than the Exercise Price and similar rights are not
     concurrently distributed to the Registered Holder, the Exercise Price shall
     thereafter be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction,
     the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
     (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of
     such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common
     Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and the numerator of which
     shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares,
     if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus
     the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number
     of shares so offered would purchase at the Exercise Price. Such adjustment
     shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become
     effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
     shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.

                                       3
<PAGE>

          c. Subscription Rights. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
     is outstanding, shall distribute to all of the holders of Common Stock
     evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe
     for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in paragraphs
     6(a) and (b) above) and similar rights are not concurrently distributed to
     the Registered Owner, then in each such case the Exercise Price at which
     the Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable shall be determined by
     multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record
     date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
     distribution by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the Per Share
     Market Value of Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned
     above, and the numerator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value of
     the Common Stock on such record date less the then fair market value at
     such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness
     so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as
     determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that
     in the event of a distribution exceeding ten percent (10%) of the net
     assets of the Company, such fair market value shall be determined by one
     Appraiser selected in good faith by the Registered Owner of the Warrant;
     and provided, further, that the Company, after receipt of the determination
     by such Appraiser shall have the right to select in good faith an
     additional Appraiser meeting similar qualifications in which case the fair
     market value shall be equal to the average of the determinations by each
     such Appraiser. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
     distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
     record date mentioned above.

          d. Rounding. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to
     the nearest cent or the nearest l/l00th of a share, as the case may be.

          e. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted
     pursuant to paragraphs 6(a), (b) or (c), the Company shall promptly deliver
     to the Registered Owner a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after
     such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
     such adjustment.

          f. Events Triggering Redemption. The following are "Redemption Events"
     under this Section 6.(f): (A) any reclassification of the Common Stock
     which would have a material adverse affect on the rights of holders of the
     securities into which the Warrant is exercisable, (B) any suspension from
     listing or delisting of the Common Stock such that the Common Stock is not
     listed on Nasdaq or any Subsequent Market for a period of ten consecutive
     Trading Days, or (C) a breach by the Company of its obligations under this
     Warrant, but only if such breach continues for a period of at least 10
     Trading Days after the Company is notified by any Holder of such breach.

         On and after notice of the occurrence of a Redemption Event, the Holder
shall have the option to require the Company to redeem (the "Redemption Right")
in cash and subject to the terms of payment provisions set forth in Section 5,
from funds legally available therefor at the time of such redemption, the
Holder's shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and
receivable upon the exercise of such Holder's Warrant at a price per share equal
to the product of (i) the difference between (A) Average Price immediately
preceding the effective date, the date of the closing, date of occurrence or the
date of the announcement, as the case may be, of the Redemption Event triggering
such Redemption Right and (B) the Exercise Price, and (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock that would have been issued upon the exercise of the Warrant
immediately prior to such Redemption Event.

                                       4

          g. Notice of Certain Events. If:

               (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
          distribution) on its Common Stock; or

               (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash
          dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

               (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of
          the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
          shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or

               (iv) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be
          required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock
          of the Company, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
          party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
          of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
          Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or

               (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
          dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company;

     then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency
     maintained for the purpose of exercise of this Warrant, and shall cause to
     be delivered to the Registered Owner, at least 10 Business Days prior to
     the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
     stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of
     such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record
     is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of
     record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights
     or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
     reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
     is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
     expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
     exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other
     property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
     sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, however, that the failure to
     mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not
     affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in
     such notice.

     h. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Subject to the Issuance Cap exception in
Section 6(j) below, if the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, takes any of the actions described in this Section 6, then, in
order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise
Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 6.

<PAGE>

               (i) Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.
          Subject to the Issuance Cap exception in Section 6(j) below, if at any
          time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company issues or sells, or
          is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (other
          than (1) the Underlying Shares or shares of Common Stock deemed to
          have been issued by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock
          Plan, (2) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any
          options or warrants outstanding and listed in Schedule 2.1(c) of the
          Purchase Agreement, (3) the securities to be issued in the
          transactions set forth on such Schedule 2.1(c), (4) the shares of
          Common Stock issuable upon an Underwritten Offer (as defined in the
          Registration Rights Agreement) occurring before December 31, 2001, or
          (5) the shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued as
          consideration for an acquisition by the Company of a division, assets
          or business (or stock constituting any portion thereof) from another
          person) for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in
          effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately
          after such issue or sale, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be
          reduced to an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) the Adjusted Price in
          such issuance or sale or (2) the Average Price on the date of such
          issuance or sale. For the purpose of determining the adjusted Exercise
          Price under this Section 6(h)(i), the following shall be applicable:

               (A) Issuance of Options. Subject to the Issuance Cap exception in
          Section 6(j) below, if at any time while this Warrant is outstanding
          the Company in any manner grants any rights or options to subscribe
          for or to purchase Common Stock or any stock or other securities
          convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than (1) the
          Underlying Shares or shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
          by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan, (2) the
          shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any options or
          warrants outstanding and listed in Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase
          Agreement, (3) the securities to be issued in the transactions set
          forth on such Schedule 2.1(c), (4) the shares of Common Stock issuable
          upon an Underwritten Offer (as defined in the Registration Rights
          Agreement) occurring before December 31, 2001, (5) the shares of
          Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued as consideration for
          an acquisition by the Company of a division, assets or business (or
          stock constituting any portion thereof) from another person) (such
          rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible
          or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible
          Securities") and the price per share for which Common Stock is
          issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or
          exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise
          Price in effect immediately prior to such grant, then the Exercise
          Price shall be adjusted to equal to the lesser of: (1) the Adjusted
          Price upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or
          exchange of such Convertible Securities or (2) the Average Price on
          the date of such grant. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be
          made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such
          Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the
          actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of
          such Convertible Securities.

<PAGE>

               (B) Issuance of Convertible Securities. Subject to the Issuance
          Cap exception in Section 6(j) below, if at any time while this Warrant
          is outstanding the Company in any manner issues or sells any
          Convertible Securities and the price per share for which Common Stock
          is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (other than the
          Underlying Shares or shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
          by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan, shares of
          Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any options or warrants
          outstanding and listed in Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement,
          shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued as
          consideration for an acquisition by the Company of a division, assets
          or business (or stock constituting any portion thereof) from another
          person) is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
          issuance or sale, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal
          to the lesser of: (1) the Adjusted Price issuable upon the conversion
          or exchange of such Convertible Securities or (2) the Average Price on
          the date of such issuance or sale.

               (C) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If there is a
          change at any time in (i) the purchase price provided for in any
          Options, (ii) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the
          issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or
          (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
          into or exchangeable for Common Stock, then the Exercise Price in
          effect at the time of such change shall be readjusted to the lesser of
          (1) the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time
          had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided
          for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed
          conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
          issued or sold or (2) the Average Price on the date of such change;
          provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would
          result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

               (D) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of
          determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 6, the
          following shall be applicable:

                    (I) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common
               Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or
               deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration
               received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by
               the Company therefor. In case any Common Stock, Options or
               Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration
               other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
               received by the Company will be the fair value of such
               consideration, except where such consideration consists of
               securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by
               the Company will be the Average Price of such security on Trading
               Day immediately preceding the date of receipt thereof. In case
               any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to
               the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any
               merger in which the Company is the surviving entity the amount of
               consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of
               such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving
               entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or
               Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any
               consideration other than cash or securities will be determined
               jointly by the Company and the registered owners of a majority of
               the Underlying Shares of Warrants then outstanding. If such
               parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after
               the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation
               Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
               within forty-eight (48) hours of the tenth (10th) day following
               the Valuation Event by an Appraiser selected in good faith by the
               Company and agreed upon in good faith by the holders of a
               majority of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of
               such Appraiser shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest
               error.

                                       7
<PAGE>

                    (II) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued
               in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the
               Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which
               no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the
               parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued
               for an aggregate consideration of $.001.

                    (III) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
               outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or
               held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of
               any shares so owned or held will be considered an issue or sale
               of Common Stock.

                    (IV) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the
               holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to
               receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock,
               Options or in Convertible Securities or (2) to subscribe for or
               purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then
               such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
               sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or
               sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such
               other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
               subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

                    (V) Certain Events. Subject to the Issuance Cap exception in
               Section 6(j) below, if any event occurs of the type contemplated
               by the provisions of this Section 6(h)(i) (subject to the
               exceptions stated therein) but not expressly provided for by such
               provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock
               appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with
               equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make
               an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price so as to protect
               the rights of the Registered Owner, or assigns, of this Warrant;
               provided, however, that no such adjustment will increase the
               Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section
               6(h).

                    (VI) "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" means, at any given
               time, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
               at such time, plus the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to
               be outstanding pursuant to Sections 7.1(g)(ii)(A) and 7(g)(ii)(B)
               hereof regardless of whether the Options or Convertible
               Securities are actually exercisable at such time, but excluding
               any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any provision in this
Section 6 cause the Exercise Price to be greater than the Exercise Price on the
date of issuance of this Warrant.

          i. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
     Exercise Price as a result of the calculations made in this Section 6, this
     Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to receive, at the adjusted
     Exercise Price, that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the
     nearest one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product of the
     aggregate number of shares covered by this Warrant immediately prior to
     such adjustment and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
     adjustment of the Exercise Price by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect
     immediately after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

          j. Issuance Cap. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, the
     provisions of Section 6(h) shall not be deemed in effect until such time as
     the Company exceeds the Issuance Cap as defined in Section 7.1(k) of the
     Series B2 Certificate of Designation.

7.       Optional Redemption.

     a. Optional Redemption. This Warrant is redeemable in whole or in part at
the option of the Company at any time, subject to the conditions herein, (the
"Optional Redemption"):

          (i) Commencing on the First Business Day immediately after the first
     anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that the closing price of the
     Company's Common Stock is greater than Seven Dollars and Fifty Cents
     ($7.50) for twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days and subject to the other
     conditions set forth herein.

          (ii) After the Original Issue Date, if the Warrants outstanding
     represent less than 5% of the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of
     the Warrants issued on the Original Issue Date remain unexercised,
     excluding from such calculation any Warrants held by an Affiliate of the
     Company as of such date (other than any Holder or transferees or successors
     or assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by
     reason of its holding of Preferred Stock and Warrants).

                                       9
<PAGE>

          b. Redemption Notice. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section
     7(a), so long as (i) any Registration Statement required to be filed and be
     effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is then in effect
     and has been in effect and sales of all of the Registrable Securities can
     be made thereunder for at least twenty (20) days prior to the Redemption
     Notice Date (as defined below) and (ii) the Company has a sufficient number
     of authorized shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon full
     exercise of the outstanding Warrants, upon ten (10) Business Days' prior
     written notice to the Registered Owner (a "Redemption Notice"), the Warrant
     may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption price
     equal to $.001 per Warrant (the "Redemption Price').

          c. Mechanics of Redemption. The Company shall exercise its right to
     redeem by delivering its Redemption Notice by facsimile and overnight
     courier to each Registered Owner (such date that the Redemption Notice is
     given on the "Redemption Notice Date"). Such Redemption Notice shall
     indicate (A) the Redemption Price, (B) each Registered Owner's pro rata
     allocation of such maximum amount, and (C) a confirmation of the date that
     the Company shall effect the redemption (the "Redemption Date"). The
     Redemption Date shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days and not more
     than sixty (60) calendar days after the Redemption Notice Date.
     Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7(c), the Company shall convert
     any Warrant pursuant to Section 5 if the Warrant Exercise Form for a
     Warrant submitted for exercise is (i) received by the Company, together
     with the Exercise Price in cash and the Warrant, before the Redemption
     Date, (ii) for an Exercise Price greater than or equal to the Redemption
     Price (appropriately adjusted in accordance with the terms hereof) and
     (iii) in excess of such Registered Owner's pro rata allocation of the
     maximum Redemption Price indicated in its Redemption Notice.

          d. Payment of Redemption Price. The Company shall pay the applicable
     Redemption Price to the Registered Owner of the Warrants being redeemed in
     cash on the Redemption Date (or, if later, the Business Day following the
     Business Day upon which the Company receives the Warrant). If the Company
     shall fail to pay the applicable Redemption Price to such Registered Owner
     on the Redemption Date, in addition to any remedy such Registered Owner may
     have under this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement and the Exchange Agreement,
     such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month until
     paid in full.

     8. Nasdaq Limitation. If on any date (the "Determination Date") (a) the
Common Stock is listed for trading on Nasdaq, (b) the Exercise Price then in
effect is such that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would
then be issuable upon exercise in full of the then outstanding Warrants as if
all such Warrants were exercised on such Determination Date (without regard to
any limitations on exercises) and as payment of interest thereon, as would equal
or exceed 20% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the "Closing Date" (the "Issuable Maximum"), and (c) the
Company shall not have previously obtained the vote of the shareholders of the
Company (the "Shareholder Approval"), if any, as may be required by the
applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq (or any successor entity) to approve
the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Issuable Maximum in a
private placement whereby shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued
at a price that is less than the greater of book value or fair market value of
the Common Stock, then with respect to the aggregate number of Warrants then
held by the Holders for which an exercise in accordance with the Exercise Price
would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of such Holder's
pro rata allocation (as described below) of the Issuable Maximum (the "Excess
Amount"), the Company may elect to pay cash to the Holders in an amount equal to
the product of the Average Price on the Determination Date multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon the exercise of the
Warrants resulting in the Excess Amount (the "Prepayment Amount"). Any such
election by the Company must be made in writing to the Holders within five (5)
Trading Days after the first such Determination Date and the payment of such
Prepayment Amount applicable to such prepayment must be made in full to the
Holders with ten (10) Business Days after the date such notice is delivered. If
the Company does not deliver timely a notice of its election to prepay under
this Section or shall, if it shall have delivered such a notice, fail to pay the
Prepayment Amount hereunder within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, then each
Holder shall have the option by written notice to the Company, to, if
applicable, declare any such notice given by the Company, if given, to be null
and void and require the Company to either: (i) use its best efforts to obtain
the Shareholder Approval applicable to such issuance as soon as is possible, but
in any event not later than the 60th day after such request unless the Company
has previously used its best efforts to, but has failed to, obtain such approval
(provided, that if the Company shall fail to obtain the Shareholder Approval
during such 60-day period, the Holder may demand the cash payment set forth in
Section 8(ii) herein) or (ii) pay cash to such Holder, within five (5) Business
Days of such Holder's notice, in an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount for
such Holder's portion of the Excess Amount. The payment of the Prepayment Amount
to each Holder pursuant to this Section shall be determined on a pro rata basis
upon the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants held by such Holder on the Determination Date which is in excess of the
pro rata allocation of the Issuable Maximum. If the Company fails to pay the
Prepayment Amount in full pursuant to this Section within five (5) Business Days
after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 20%
per annum to the converting Holder, accruing interest daily from the date of
conversion until such amount, plus all such interest thereon, if any, is paid in
full. Until the Company has received the Shareholder Approval no Holder shall be
issued, upon exercise of a Warrant , shares of Common Stock in an amount greater
than such Holder's allocated portion of the Issuable Maximum pursuant to Section
8.

     9. Restriction on Exercise by Either the Registered Owner or the Company.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any
Registered Owner have the right or be required to exercise this Warrant if as a
result of such conversion the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Registered Owner and its Affiliates would exceed
4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise. The
Company shall be entitled to rely on a Notice of Exercise in the form of Exhibit
A hereto in issuing shares of Common Stock to a Registered Owner. For purposes
of this Section 9, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The provisions
of this Section 9 may be waived by a Registered Owner as to itself (and solely
as to itself) upon not less than 65 days prior written notice to the Company.

exercise shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of Section 6, the
Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary at its principal office and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an
officer's certificate showing the adjusted number of shares determined as herein
provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment
and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate
shall be signed by the chairman, president or chief financial officer of the
Company and by the secretary or any assistant secretary of the Company. Each
such officer's certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for
inspection by any Registered Owner of the Warrants and the Company shall,

observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of

Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of Rights to be determined as
follows: (i) if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date for the
distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing such
Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a holder of

Rights to which a holder of the number of shares into which the Warrant to

been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and
provisions of and applicable to the Rights, and in each case subject to the
terms and conditions of the Rights.
