                           ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT

Additional Investment Right No. [  ]                       Dated:  June __, 2004

         SulphCo, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby certifies
that, for value received, [Name of Holder] or its registered assigns (the
"HOLDER"), is entitled to purchase from the Company (a) up to a total of [ ]
shares of common stock (the "COMMON Stock"), of the Company (each such share, an
"ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT SHARE" and all such shares, the "ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENT RIGHT Shares") at an exercise price equal to $1.25 per share (as
adjusted from time to time as provided in SECTION 9, the "EXERCISE PRICE"), and
(b) only as part of and in connection with the purchase of the Additional
Investment Right Shares, warrants in the form attached to the Purchase Agreement
(as hereinafter defined) as EXHIBIT A to acquire up to 0.70 shares of Common
Stock for each Additional Investment Right Share purchased (the "ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENT RIGHT WARRANTS"), at any time and from time to time from and after
the date hereof and through and including the 180th Trading Day following the
Effective Date, but not including the Effective Date (the "EXPIRATION DATE"),
and subject to the following terms and conditions. This Additional Investment
Right (this "ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT") is one of a series of similar
Additional Investment Rights issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the
Purchasers identified therein (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"). All such Additional
Investment Rights are referred to herein, collectively, as the "ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENT RIGHTS." Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Additional
Investment Right Warrants shall be known herein as the "ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT
RIGHT WARRANT SHARES".

<PAGE>

         1. DEFINITIONS. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Additional Investment Right, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

         2. REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT. The Company shall
register this Additional Investment Right, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the "ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT REGISTER"), in the
name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and
treat the registered Holder of this Additional Investment Right as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

         3. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS. The Company shall register the assignment
and transfer of any portion of this Additional Investment Right in the
Additional Investment Right Register, upon surrender of this Additional
Investment Right, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and
signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address specified herein.
Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Additional Investment Right to
purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Additional Investment
Right (any such new Additional Investment Right, a "NEW ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT
RIGHT"), evidencing the portion of this Additional Investment Right so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Additional Investment
Right evidencing the remaining portion of this Additional Investment Right not
so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Additional Investment Right by the transferee thereof
shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and
obligations of a holder of an Additional Investment Right.

         4. EXERCISE AND DURATION OF ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT.

                  (a) This Additional Investment Right shall be exercisable by
the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date
hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on
the Expiration Date, the portion of this Additional Investment Right not
exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

                  (b) The Holder may exercise this Additional Investment Right
by delivering to the Company (i) the original Additional Investment Right and an
exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the "EXERCISE NOTICE"),
appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price
for the number of Additional Investment Right Shares and Additional Investment
Right Warrants as to which this Additional Investment Right is being exercised,
and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in
accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an "EXERCISE DATE." Execution
and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation
of the original Additional Investment Right and issuance of a New Additional
Investment Right evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Additional Investment Right Shares and Additional Investment Right Warrants.

         5. DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT SHARES AND ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENT RIGHT WARRANTS.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  (a) Upon exercise of this Additional Investment Right, the
Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the
Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon
the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Additional Investment Right Shares and
Additional Investment Right Warrants issuable upon such exercise, free of
restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the
Additional Investment Right Shares, the Additional Investment Right Warrant
Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then
effective and the Additional Investment Right Shares and Additional Investment
Right Warrant Shares, respectively, are not freely transferable without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder, or any
Person so designated by the Holder to receive Additional Investment Right Shares
and Additional Investment Right Warrants, shall be deemed to have become holder
of record of such Additional Investment Right Shares and Additional Investment
Right Warrants as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the
Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Additional Investment Right Shares and
Additional Investment Right Warrants hereunder electronically through the
Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions.

                  (b) This Additional Investment Right is exercisable, either in
its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Additional
Investment Right Shares and Additional Investment Right Warrants. Upon surrender
of this Additional Investment Right following one or more partial exercises, the
Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Additional
Investment Right evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Additional Investment Right Shares and Additional Investment Right Warrants.

                  (c) In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if
the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Additional
Investment Right Shares on the third Trading Day after the date on which
delivery of such certificate is required by this Additional Investment Right or
any Additional Investment Right Warrant, and if after such third Trading Day the
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Additional
Investment Right Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company
(a "BUY-IN"), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the
Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the
Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the
"BUY-IN PRICE"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such
certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly
honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to
the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of
shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event
giving rise to the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate.

                  (d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Additional
Investment Right Shares and Additional Investment Right Warrants in accordance
with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action
or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with
respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person
or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,

                                       3
<PAGE>

limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any
other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged
violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any
other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to
the Holder in connection with the issuance of Additional Investment Right Shares
and Additional Investment Right Warrants. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Additional
Investment Right as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

         6. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance and delivery of certificates
for shares of Common Stock and Additional Investment Right Warrants upon
exercise of this Additional Investment Right shall be made without charge to the
Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or
other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates,
all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for
Additional Investment Right Shares, Additional Investment Rights or any
Additional Investment Right Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or
an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax
liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Additional
Investment Right or receiving Additional Investment Right Shares and Additional
Investment Right Warrants upon exercise hereof.

         7. REPLACEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT. If this Additional
Investment Right is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Additional
Investment Right, a New Additional Investment Right, but only upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or
destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for
a New Additional Investment Right under such circumstances shall also comply
with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other
reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.

         8. RESERVATION OF ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT SHARES AND ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENT RIGHT WARRANT SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued
and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to
issue Additional Investment Right Shares upon exercise of this Additional
Investment Right and Additional Investment Right Warrants as provided herein or
in the Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares upon exercise of the
Additional Investment Right Warrants as provided in the Additional Investment
Right Warrants, the number of Additional Investment Right Shares which are then
issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Additional Investment
Right and the number of Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares issuable and
deliverable upon the exercise of any Additional Investment Right Warrants, free
from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other
than the Holder (after giving effect to the adjustments and restrictions of
SECTION 9, if any). The Company covenants that all Additional Investment Right
Shares and Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares so issuable and
deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise
Price in accordance with the terms hereof, or the Additional Investment Right

                                       4
<PAGE>

Warrants be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to
assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein and
further to the Additional Investment Right Warrants without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange
or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

         9. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price and number of Additional
Investment Right Shares issuable upon exercise of this Additional Investment
Right are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this SECTION
9. The exercise price and number of this Additional Investment Right Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Additional Investment Right Warrants shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in the Warrants issued
by the Company on the date hereof pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

                  (a) STOCK DIVIDENDS AND SPLITS. If the Company, at any time
while this Additional Investment Right is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend
on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital
stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each
such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii) or
(iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective
date of such subdivision or combination.

                  (b) PRO RATA DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company, at any time while
this Additional Investment Right is outstanding, distributes to holders of
Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a
distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset
(in each case, "DISTRIBUTED Property"), then in each such case the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective
on such record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for
the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date
and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value
of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of
Common Stock, as determined by the Company's independent certified public
accountants that regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an
"APPRAISER"). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by
the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which
shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair
market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by
each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing
adjustment to the Exercise Price, at the request of the Holder delivered before
the 90th day after such record date, the Company will deliver to such Holder,
within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date
of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the Additional Investment Right Shares for
which this Additional Investment Right could have been exercised immediately

                                       5
<PAGE>

prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a
Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon expiration of or any
exercise of the Additional Investment Right that occurs after such record date,
such Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in addition to the Additional
Investment Right Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable),
such Distributed Property.

                  (c) FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. If, at any time while this
Additional Investment Right is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of
related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common
Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a "FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTION"), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of this Additional Investment Right, the same amount and kind of
securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to
such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Additional Investment
Right Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Additional Investment
Right (the "ALTERNATE CONSIDERATION"). The aggregate Exercise Price for this
Additional Investment Right will not be affected by any such Fundamental
Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among
the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received
in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as
to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Additional
Investment Right following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's
request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the Alternate
Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms
of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall
include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with
the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Additional Investment
Right (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any
subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any
Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control, then at
the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental
Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will
purchase the Additional Investment Right from the Holder for a purchase price,
payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on
the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes
value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Additional Investment Right
on the date of such request.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (d) NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT SHARES.
Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs
(a) or (b) of this Section, the number of Additional Investment Right Shares
that may be purchased upon exercise of this Additional Investment Right shall be
increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number
of Additional Investment Right Shares shall be the same as the aggregate
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

                  (e) CALCULATIONS. All calculations under this Section 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the
disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.

                  (f) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this SECTION 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Additional
Investment Right and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment,
including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type
of Additional Investment Right Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise
of this Additional Investment Right (as applicable), describing the transactions
giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a
copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company's Transfer Agent.

                  (g) NOTICE OF CORPORATE EVENTS. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing
the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to
hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order
to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this
Additional Investment Right prior to such time so as to participate in or vote
with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver
such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be described in such notice.

         10. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
in immediately available funds.

         11. LIMITATION ON EXERCISE. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Additional Investment Right (or
otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure
that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 4.999% (the "MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE") of the total number of issued and

                                       7
<PAGE>

outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Additional Investment Right Shares requested in
such Exercise Notice is permitted under this paragraph. The Company's obligation
to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this
Section shall be suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding
any contrary provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of
Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice
to the Company, the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase
or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such
notice, but (i) any such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st
day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or
increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder
of Additional Investment Rights.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if the Trading Market is the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or any other market or
exchange with similar applicable rules, then the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that the Company may issue pursuant to the Transaction Documents at
an effective purchase price less than the Closing Price on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Closing Date equals 19.99% cap shares (the "ISSUABLE
MAXIMUM"), unless the Company obtains shareholder approval in accordance with
the rules and regulations of such Trading Market. If, at the time any Holder
requests an exercise of any of the Additional Investment Rights, the Actual
Minimum (excluding any shares issued or issuable at an effective purchase price
in excess of the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Closing Date) exceeds the Issuable Maximum (and if the Company has not
previously obtained the required shareholder approval), then the Company shall
issue to the Holder requesting such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock
not exceeding such Holder's pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum (based on
such Holder's share (vis-a-vis other Holders) of the aggregate purchase price
paid under the Purchase Agreement and taking into account any Additional
Investment Rights Shares and any Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares
previously issued to such Holder), and the remainder of the Additional
Investment Rights Shares and Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares issuable
in connection with such exercise or conversion (if any) shall constitute "Excess
Shares" pursuant to Section 12(c) below. For the purposes hereof, "ACTUAL
MINIMUM" shall mean, as of any date, the maximum aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock then issued or potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the
Transaction Documents, including any Additional Investment Right Shares issuable
upon exercise in full of all Additional Investment Rights, ignoring any limits
on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be owned by a Holder at any one
time.

                  (c) In the event that any Holder's receipt of shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Additional Investment Right is restricted based on
the Issuable Maximum, the Company shall either: (i) use its best efforts to
obtain the required shareholder approval necessary to permit the issuance of
such Excess Shares as soon as is reasonably possible, but in any event not later
than the 60th day after the event giving rise to such Excess Shares, or (ii)
within five Trading Days after such event, pay cash to such Holder, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to the difference
between the Black Scholes value of this Additional Investment Right assuming the
limitations in Section 12(b) were not applicable and the Black Scholes value of

                                       8
<PAGE>

this Additional Investment Right after giving effect to the limitations in
Section 12(b), measured as of the date of such event or, if greater, the date of
payment (such difference, the "CASH AMOUNT"). If the Company elects the first
option under the preceding sentence and the Company fails to obtain the required
shareholder approval on or prior to the 60th day after such event, then within
three Trading Days after such 60th day, the Company shall pay the Cash Amount to
such Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

         12. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Additional Investment Right Shares or Additional
Investment Right Warrants to purchase fractional Additional Investment Right
Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Additional Investment Right. If any
fraction of a Additional Investment Right Share or if any Additional Investment
Right Warrant to purchase a fraction of an Additional Investment Right Warrant
Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon
exercise of this Additional Investment Right, the number of Additional
Investment Right Shares and/or Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Additional Investment Right Warrants, as the case
may be, to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share or right to
purchase the nearest whole share, as the case may be.

         13. NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as
set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

         14. ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT AGENT. The Company shall serve as
additional investment right agent under this Additional Investment Right. Upon
30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new additional
investment right agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new
additional investment right agent may be merged or any corporation resulting
from any consolidation to which the Company or any new additional investment
right agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new
additional investment right agent transfers substantially all of its corporate
trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor additional
investment right agent under this Additional Investment Right without any
further act. Any such successor additional investment right agent shall promptly
cause notice of its succession as additional investment right agent to be mailed
(by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Additional Investment Right Register.

         15. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the
first page hereof, this Additional Investment Right may be assigned by the
Holder. This Additional Investment Right may not be assigned by the Company
except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Additional
Investment Right shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding

                                     -------

Warrant No. [  ]                                           Dated:  June __, 2004

         SulphCo, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby certifies
that, for value received, [Name of Holder] or its registered assigns (the
"HOLDER"), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [     ](1)
shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), of the
Company (each such share, a "WARRANT SHARE" and all such shares, the "WARRANT
SHARES") at an exercise price equal to $1.5625 per share (as adjusted from time
to time as provided in SECTION 9, the "EXERCISE PRICE"), at any time and from
time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including the date
that is thirty (30) months from the date of issuance hereof (the "EXPIRATION
DATE"), and subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this
"WARRANT") is one of a series of similar warrants issued pursuant to that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among
the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT").
All such warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the "WARRANTS."

         1. DEFINITIONS. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

         2. REGISTRATION OF WARRANT. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "WARRANT
REGISTER"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

_________________________
(1) In connection with the issuance of Shares on the Closing Date equal to 35%
(aggregate) warrant coverage and 70% (aggregate) warrant coverage if issued upon
the exercise of an Additional Investment Right.

<PAGE>

         3. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS. The Company shall register the transfer
of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this
Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed,
to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon
any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a "NEW WARRANT"),
evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant
not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.

         4. EXERCISE AND DURATION OF WARRANTS.

                  (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including
the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date,
the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void
and of no value; provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the
five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date
exceeds the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised)
on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration
Date if a "cashless exercise" may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10
below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Expiration Date
shall be extended for each day following the Effective Date that the
Registration Statement is not effective.

                  (b) A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the
Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the "EXERCISE
NOTICE"), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
being exercised (which may take the form of a "cashless exercise" if so
indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a "cashless exercise" may occur at such
time pursuant to this Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered
to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof)
is an "EXERCISE DATE." The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original
Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the
Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original
Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares.

         5. DELIVERY OF WARRANT SHARES.

                  (a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly
(but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or
cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the
Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for
the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends
unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and

                                       2
<PAGE>

naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and
the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder, or any Person so
designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have
become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The
Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver
Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation
or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

                  (b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or,
from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender
of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue
or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

                  (c) In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if
the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant
Shares by the third Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such
certificate is required by this Warrant, and if after such third Trading Day the
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares
that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "BUY-IN"), then the
Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the
Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the
Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "BUY-IN PRICE"), at which point the
Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the
Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash
to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over
the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing
Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company's obligation to
deliver such certificate.

                  (d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.

         6. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance and delivery of certificates
for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer
agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such

                                       3
<PAGE>

certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the
Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other
tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant
or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

         7. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under
such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.

         8. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (after giving
effect to adjustments and restrictions of SECTION 9, if any). The Company
covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon
issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the
terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to
assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock
may be listed.

         9. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this SECTION 9.

                  (a) STOCK DIVIDENDS AND SPLITS. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (b) PRO RATA DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"DISTRIBUTED PROPERTY"), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such
record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of
which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five
Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of
which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the
Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common
Stock, as determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants
that regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an "APPRAISER").
In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser,
shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a
nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value
shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the
Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to
the Exercise Price, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day
after such record date, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within five
Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such
distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant
could have been exercised immediately prior to such record date. If such
Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding
sentence, then upon expiration of or any exercise of the Warrant that occurs
after such record date, such Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in
addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if
applicable), such Distributed Property.

                  (c) FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common
Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a "FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTION"), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or
property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon
exercise in full of this Warrant (the "ALTERNATE CONSIDERATION"). The aggregate
Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental
Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among
the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received
in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as
to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant
following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's request, any successor
to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue

                                       5
<PAGE>

to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and
evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the
aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement
pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms
requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions
of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement
security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous
to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or
results in a Change of Control, then at the request of the Holder delivered
before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such
successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a
purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or,
if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the
Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the
date of such request.

                  (d) SUBSEQUENT EQUITY SALES.

                            (i) If, at any time while this Warrant is
         outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary issues additional shares of
         Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt
         convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or
         otherwise entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock
         (collectively, "COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS") at an effective net price to
         the Company per share of Common Stock (the "EFFECTIVE PRICE") less than
         the Exercise Price (as adjusted hereunder to such date), then the
         Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Effective Price. If, at
         any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company or any
         Subsidiary issues Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at an
         Effective Price greater than the Exercise Price (as adjusted hereunder
         to such date) but less than the average Closing Price over the five
         Trading Days prior to such issuance (the "ADJUSTMENT PRICE"), then the
         Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the
         Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common
         Stock or Common Stock Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator
         of which is the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
         outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of
         shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Effective Price of the
         Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued) would purchase at the
         Adjustment Price, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number
         of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding
         immediately after such issuance. For purposes of this paragraph, in
         connection with any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (A) the
         maximum number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any
         time upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock
         Equivalents (the "DEEMED NUMBER") shall be deemed to be outstanding
         upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (B) the Effective Price
         applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of
         consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock
         Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock
         (net of any discounts, fees, commissions and other expenses), divided
         by the Deemed Number, and (C) no further adjustment shall be made to
         the Exercise Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon
         conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.

<PAGE>

                            (ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is
         outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary issues Common Stock
         Equivalents with an Effective Price or a number of underlying shares
         that floats or resets or otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment
         based (directly or indirectly) on market prices of the Common Stock (a
         "FLOATING PRICE SECURITY"), then for purposes of applying the preceding
         paragraph in connection with any subsequent exercise, the Effective
         Price will be determined separately on each Exercise Date and will be
         deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such
         Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire Common Stock on such
         Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually acquires
         any shares on such date).

                            (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment
         will be made under this paragraph in respect of any Excluded Stock.

                  (e) NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. Simultaneously with any
adjustments to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) of this
Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such
adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or
decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

                  (f) CALCULATIONS. All calculations under this SECTION 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the
disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.

                  (g) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this SECTION 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.

                  (h) NOTICE OF CORPORATE EVENTS. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing
the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to
hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order
to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this
Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any
defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to
be described in such notice.

                                       7

         10. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
in immediately available funds; provided, however, the Holder may satisfy its
obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a "cashless exercise," in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares
determined as follows:

                                 X = Y [(A-B)/A]
                  where:
                                 X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued
                                 to the Holder.

                                 Y = the number of Warrant Shares with
                                 respect to which this Warrant is
                                 being exercised.

                                 A = the average of the Closing Prices
                                 for the five Trading Days immediately
                                 prior to (but not including) the
                                 Exercise Date.

                                 B = the Exercise Price.

                  For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act,
it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a
cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the
Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have
commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement.

         11. LIMITATION ON EXERCISE. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 4.999% (the "MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE") of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. The Company's obligation to issue shares of
Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be
suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary
provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may
be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice to the Company,
the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the

                                       8
<PAGE>

Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any
such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if the Trading Market is the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or any other market or
exchange with similar applicable rules, then the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that the Company may issue pursuant to the Transaction Documents at
an effective purchase price less than the Closing Price on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Closing Date equals 19.99% cap shares (the "ISSUABLE
MAXIMUM"), unless the Company obtains shareholder approval in accordance with
the rules and regulations of such Trading Market. If, at the time any Holder
requests an exercise of any of the Warrants, the Actual Minimum (excluding any
shares issued or issuable at an effective purchase price in excess of the
Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date) exceeds
the Issuable Maximum (and if the Company has not previously obtained the
required shareholder approval), then the Company shall issue to the Holder
requesting such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock not exceeding such
Holder's pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum (based on such Holder's share
(vis-a-vis other Holders) of the aggregate purchase price paid under the
Purchase Agreement and taking into account any Warrant Shares previously issued
to such Holder), and the remainder of the Warrant Shares issuable in connection
with such exercise or conversion (if any) shall constitute "Excess Shares"
pursuant to Section 12(c) below. For the purposes hereof, "ACTUAL MINIMUM" shall
mean, as of any date, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
then issued or potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the Transaction
Documents, including any Underlying Shares issuable upon exercise in full of all
Warrants, ignoring any limits on the number of shares of Common Stock that may
be owned by a Holder at any one time.

                  (c) In the event that any Holder's receipt of shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant is restricted based on the Issuable Maximum,
the Company shall either: (i) use its best efforts to obtain the required
shareholder approval necessary to permit the issuance of such Excess Shares as
soon as is reasonably possible, but in any event not later than the 60th day
after the event giving rise to such Excess Shares, or (ii) within five Trading
Days after such event, pay cash to such Holder, as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, in an amount equal to the difference between the Black Scholes value
of this Warrant assuming the limitations in Section 12(b) were not applicable
and the Black Scholes value of this Warrant after giving effect to the
limitations in Section 12(b), measured as of the date of such event or, if
greater, the date of payment (such difference, the "CASH AMOUNT"). If the
Company elects the first option under the preceding sentence and the Company
fails to obtain the required shareholder approval on or prior to the 60th day
after such event, then within three Trading Days after such 60th day, the
Company shall pay the Cash Amount to such Holder, as liquidated damages and not
as a penalty.

         12. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If
any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares
to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

         13. NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City

                                       9
<PAGE>

time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as
set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

         14. WARRANT AGENT. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.

         15. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the
first page hereof, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may
not be assigned by the Company except to a successor in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to
give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable
right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended
only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and
assigns.

                  (b) The Company will not, by amendment of its governing
documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not
increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor
on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii)
will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which interferes
with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

                  (C) GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. ALL QUESTIONS
CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS
WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE

DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS

CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY

AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN
SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

                  (d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.

                  (e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
