                             INSIGNIA SOLUTIONS PLC

                        1995 EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

             Adopted by the Board of Directors on February 9, 1995 and
        Amended on December 15, 1995, on July 21, 1998 and on May 27, 1999

1.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN

           Insignia Solutions plc (the "COMPANY") proposes to grant options to
subscribe for the Company's ordinary shares of 20p each, or any instruments
evidencing such ordinary shares (e.g., American Depositary Shares or American
Depositary Receipts), to eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries
(as hereinafter defined) pursuant to this Insignia Solutions plc 1995 Employee
Share Purchase Plan (this "PLAN"). For purposes of this Plan, "Parent
Corporation" and "Subsidiary" (collectively, "SUBSIDIARIES") shall have the
same meanings as "parent corporation" and "subsidiary corporation" in Sections
424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "CODE"). The Company intends the Plan to qualify as an "employee
stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments to
or replacements of such section), and the Plan shall be so construed. Any term
not expressly defined in the Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of
the Code shall have the same definition herein. A total of nine hundred
thousand (900,000) of the Company's ordinary shares is reserved for issue under
the Plan. Such number shall be subject to adjustments effected in accordance
with Section 14 of the Plan.

2.  PURPOSES

           The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and
Subsidiaries designated by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD")
as eligible to participate in the Plan with a convenient means of acquiring an
equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to enhance such
employees' sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and
Subsidiaries, and to provide an incentive for continued employment.

3.  ADMINISTRATION

           This Plan may be administered by the Board or a committee appointed
by the Board (the "COMMITTEE"). If, at the time the Company becomes subject to
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE
ACT"), a majority of the Board is not comprised of Disinterested Persons as
defined in Rule 16b-3(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Board shall
appoint a committee consisting of at least two (2) members of the Board, each
of whom is a Disinterested Person. As used in this Plan, references to the
"Committee" shall mean either such committee or the Board if no committee has
been established. After registration of the Company under the Exchange Act,
Board members who are not

<PAGE>

Disinterested Persons may not vote on any matters affecting the administration
of this Plan, but any such member may be counted for determining the existence
of a quorum at any meeting of the Board. Subject to the provisions of the Plan
and the limitations of Section 423 of the Code or any successor provision in
the Code, all questions of interpretation or application of the Plan shall be
determined by the Board and its decisions shall be final and binding upon all
participants. Members of the Board shall receive no compensation for their
services in connection with the administration of the Plan, other than standard
fees as established from time to time by the Board for services rendered by
Board members serving on Board committees. All expenses incurred in connection
with the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

4.  ELIGIBILITY

           Any employee of the Company or the Subsidiaries is eligible to
participate in an Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) under the Plan
except the following:

                    (a) employees who are not employed by the Company or
Subsidiaries on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month before the beginning of
such Offering Period;

                    (b) employees who are customarily employed for less than 20
hours per week;

                    (c) employees who are customarily employed for less than 5
months in a calendar year;

                    (d) employees who, together with any other person whose
stock or shares would be attributed to such employee pursuant to Section 424(d)
of the Code, own stock or shares or hold options to subscribe for ordinary
shares or who, as a result of being granted an option under the Plan with
respect to such Offering Period, would own shares or hold options to subscribe
for shares possessing 5 percent or more of the total combined voting power or
value of all classes of stock or shares of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

5.  OFFERING DATES

           The Offering Periods of the Plan (the "OFFERING PERIOD") shall be of

six (6) months duration commencing February 1 and August 1 of each year and
ending on July 31 and January 31 respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the first Offering Period shall commence on the date of the initial public
offering and shall end on the earlier of the first July 31 or January 31
thereafter (the "FIRST OFFERING PERIOD"). Payroll deductions of each
participant are accumulated under the Plan during the Offering Periods. The
first day of each Offering Period is referred to as the "Offering Date". The
last business day of each Offering Period is referred to as the "Purchase
Date". The Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering
Periods with respect to future offerings without shareholder approval if such
change is announced at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled beginning
of the first Offering Period to be affected.

                                       2

6.  PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

           Eligible employees may become participants in an Offering Period
under the Plan on the first Offering Date after satisfying the eligibility
requirements by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company's or
Subsidiary's (whichever employs such employee) payroll department (the "PAYROLL
Department") not later than five (5) days prior to such Offering Date unless a
later time for filing the subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions
is set by the Board for all eligible employees with respect to a given Offering
Period. An eligible employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement to
the Payroll Department by such date after becoming eligible to participate in
such Offering Period shall not participate in that Offering Period or any
subsequent Offering Period unless such employee enrolls in the Plan by filing a
subscription agreement with the Payroll Department not later than five (5) days
prior to such subsequent Offering Date. Once an employee becomes a participant
in an Offering Period, such employee will automatically participate in the
Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of the prior
Offering Period unless the employee withdraws from the Plan or terminates
further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 11 below.
Such participant is not required to file any additional subscription agreement
in order to continue participation in the Plan.

7.  GRANT OF OPTION ON ENROLLMENT

           Enrollment by an eligible employee in the Plan with respect to an
Offering Period will constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the
Company to such employee of an option to subscribe on the Purchase Date for up
to that number of ordinary shares of the Company determined by dividing the
amount accumulated in such employee's payroll deduction account during such
Offering Period, and if applicable, as converted into U.S. Dollars at the
Conversion Rate (as defined in Section 9(g)) on the Purchase Date, by the lower
of (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of an ordinary share
of the Company on the Offering Date (the "ENTRY PRICE") or (ii) eighty-five
percent (85%) of the fair market value of an ordinary share of the Company on
the Purchase Date; provided, however, that the number of ordinary shares of the
Company subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed
the lesser of (a) the maximum number of shares set by the Board pursuant to
Section 10(c) below with respect to the applicable Offering Period, or (b) 200%
of the number of shares determined by using 85% of the fair market value of an
ordinary share of the Company on the Offering Date as the denominator. Fair
market value of an ordinary share of the Company shall be determined as
provided in Section 8 hereof.

8.  PURCHASE PRICE

           The purchase price of shares issued pursuant to this Plan shall be
payable in U.S. Dollars. The purchase price per share at which a share will be
issued in any Offering Period shall be 85 percent of the lesser of:

           (a)  The fair market value on the Offering Date; or

                                       3

<PAGE>

           (b) The fair market value on the Purchase Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchase price per ordinary share shall not
in any circumstances be less than the U.S. Dollar equivalent, at the Conversion
Rate (as defined in Section 9(g)) on the Purchase Date, of 20p (being the par
value of an ordinary share).

           For purposes of the Plan, the term "fair market value" on a given
date shall mean the fair market value of an ordinary share of the Company, or
instrument evidencing such ordinary shares (e.g., American Depositary Shares or
American Depositary Receipts) in U.S. Dollars, as determined by the Committee
from time to time in good faith. If a public market exists for the shares, or
instrument evidencing such ordinary shares (e.g., American Depositary Shares or
American Depositary Receipts), the fair market value shall be the average of
the last reported bid and asked prices for an ordinary share of the Company on
the last trading day prior to the date of determination, or, in the event
ordinary shares of the Company, or instruments evidencing such ordinary shares
(e.g., American Depositary Shares or American Depositary Receipts), are listed
on the Nasdaq National Market, the fair market value shall be the closing price
of a share, or instrument evidencing such ordinary shares (e.g., American
Depositary Shares or American Depositary Receipts), on the determination date
as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or if no such reported sale takes place
on such date, the closing price on the next preceding trading date on which a
reported sale occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fair market value of
a share, or instrument evidencing such ordinary shares (e.g., American
Depositary Shares or American Depositary Receipts), on the First Offering Date
(which is the first business day of the First Offering Period under this Plan)
shall be the price per share at which such shares or instruments are initially
offered for sale to the public in the Company's initial public offering.

9.  PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE; CHANGES IN PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS; ISSUE OF SHARES

           (a) The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by regular
payroll deductions made during each Offering Period. The deductions are made as
a percentage of the participant's compensation in one percent increments not
less than 2 percent nor greater than 10 percent, not to exceed $25,000 per
year, or the U.S. Dollar equivalent determined at the Conversion Rate (as
defined in Section 9(g)) on the Offering Date, or such lower limit set by the
Committee. Compensation for U.S. employees shall mean all W-2 compensation,
including, but not limited to base salary, wages, commissions, overtime, shift
premiums and bonuses, plus draws against commissions and excluding car
allowances and any other in kind employment related benefits; provided,
however, that for purposes of determining a participant's compensation, any
election by such participant to reduce his or her regular cash remuneration
under Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code shall be treated as if the participant
did not make such election. Compensation for U.K. employees shall mean all
compensation, including, but not limited to base salary, wages, commissions,
overtime, the substantial equivalent of U.S. "shift premiums" and bonuses, plus
draws against commissions and excluding car allowances and any other in kind
employment related benefits. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first
payday following the Offering

                                       4

<PAGE>

Date and shall continue to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered
or terminated as provided in the Plan.

           (b) A participant may lower (but not increase) the rate of payroll
deductions during an Offering Period by filing with the Payroll Department a
new authorization for payroll deductions, in which case the new rate shall
become effective for the next payroll period commencing more than 15 days after
the Payroll Department's receipt of the authorization and shall continue for
the remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below. Such
change in the rate of payroll deductions may be made at any time during an
Offering Period, but not more than one change may be made effective during any
Offering Period. A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll
deductions for any subsequent Offering Period by filing with the Payroll
Department a new authorization for payroll deductions not later than five (5)
days prior to the beginning of such subsequent Offering Period.

           (c) All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to
his or her account under the Plan and are deposited with the general funds of
the Company. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions. All payroll
deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any
corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such
payroll deductions.

           (d) On each Purchase Date, so long as the Plan remains in effect and
provided that the participant has not submitted a signed and completed
withdrawal form before that date, as set forth in Section 11 below, which
notifies the Company that the participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering
Period under the Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the
account maintained on behalf of the participant as of that date returned to the
participant, the Company shall apply the funds, and if applicable, as converted
into U.S. Dollars at the Conversion Rate (as defined in Section 9(g)) on the
Purchase Date, then in the participant's account to the subscription for a
whole number of ordinary shares reserved under the option granted to such
participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such option
is exercisable on the Purchase Date. The purchase price per share shall be as
specified in Section 8 of the Plan. Any cash remaining in a participant's
account after such subscription for ordinary shares shall be refunded to such
participant in cash, without interest; provided, however, that any amount
remaining in such participant's account on a Purchase Date which is less than
the amount necessary to subscribe for a single ordinary share shall be carried
forward, without interest, into the next Offering Period. In the event that the
Plan has been oversubscribed, all funds not used to subscribe for ordinary
shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant, without
interest. No ordinary shares shall be subscribed for on a Purchase Date on
behalf of any employee whose participation in the Plan has terminated prior to
such Purchase Date.

           (e) As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company
shall arrange the delivery to each participant of a certificate representing
the shares issued upon exercise of his option.

           (f) During a participant's lifetime, such participant's option to
subscribe for shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. The
participant will have no interest or voting right

                                       5

<PAGE>

in shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised.
Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered in
the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her
spouse.

           (g) "Conversion Rate" means the average currency conversion rate
quoted by the Bank of America in London for converting Pounds Sterling into
U.S. Dollars.

10.  LIMITATIONS ON SHARES TO BE PURCHASED

           (a) No employee shall be entitled to subscribe for shares under the
Plan at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to subscribe for
shares under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any
Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000 (or if applicable, the U.S. Dollars equivalent
determined at the Conversion Rate (as defined in Section 9(g)) as of the
Offering Date) in fair market value, determined as of the Offering Date (or
such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which
the employee participates in the Plan.

           (b) No more than 200% of the number of shares determined by using
85% of the fair market value of an ordinary share of the Company on the
Offering Date as the denominator may be subscribed for by a participant on any
single Purchase Date.

           (c) No employee shall be entitled to subscribe for more than the
Maximum Share Amount (as defined below) on any single Purchase Date. Not less
than thirty days prior to the commencement of any Offering Period, the Board
may, in its sole discretion, set a maximum number of shares which may be
subscribed for by any employee at any single Purchase Date (hereinafter the
"MAXIMUM SHARE AMOUNT"). In no event shall the Maximum Share Amount exceed the
amounts permitted under Section 10(b) above. If a new Maximum Share Amount is
set, then all participants must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount not
less than fifteen days prior to the commencement of the next Offering Period.
Once the Maximum Share Amount is set, it shall continue to apply with respect
to all succeeding Purchase Dates and Offering Periods unless revised by the
Board as set forth above.

           (d) If the number of shares to be subscribed for on a Purchase Date
by all employees participating in the Plan exceeds the number of shares then
available for issue under the Plan, the Company will make a pro rata allocation
of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as
the Board shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Company shall
give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to be subscribed
for under a participant's option to each participant affected thereby.

           (e) Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant's account
which are not used to subscribe for ordinary shares due to the limitations in
this Section 10 shall be returned to the participant as soon as practicable
after the end of the Offering Period, without interest.

                                       6

<PAGE>

11.  WITHDRAWAL

           (a) Each participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under the
Plan by signing and delivering to the Payroll Department notice on a form
provided for such purpose. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time at least
15 days prior to the end of an Offering Period.

           (b) Upon withdrawal from the Plan, the accumulated payroll
deductions shall be returned to the withdrawn participant, without interest,
and his or her interest in the Plan shall terminate. In the event a participant
voluntarily elects to withdraw from the Plan, he or she may not resume his or
her participation in the Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she
may participate in any Offering Period under the Plan which commences on a date
subsequent to such withdrawal by filing a new authorization for payroll
deductions in the same manner as set forth in Section 6 above for initial
participation in the Plan.

12.  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

       Termination of a participant's employment for any reason, including
retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible
employee, immediately terminates his or her participation in the Plan. In such
event, the payroll deductions credited to the participant's account will be
returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her legal
representative, without interest. For purposes of this Section 12, an employee
will not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the
continuous employ of the Company in the case of sick leave, military leave, or
any other leave of absence approved by the Board; provided that such leave is
for a period of not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the
expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

13.  RETURN OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

       In the event a participant's interest in the Plan is terminated by
withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or in the event the Plan is
terminated by the Board, the Company shall promptly deliver to the participant
all payroll deductions credited to his account. No interest shall accrue on the
payroll deductions of a participant in the Plan.

14.  CAPITAL CHANGES

       Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the
number of ordinary shares covered by each option under the Plan which has not
yet been exercised and the number of ordinary shares which have been authorized
for issue under the Plan but have not yet been placed under option
(collectively, the "RESERVES"), as well as the price per ordinary share covered
by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
ordinary shares resulting from any consolidation or subdivision of ordinary
shares of the Company, or any bonus or other capitalization issue of ordinary
shares or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued ordinary
shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however,

                                       7

<PAGE>

that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be
deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such
adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the
Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any
class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of ordinary shares subject to an option.

       In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. The Board may, in
the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that the options
under the Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each
participant the right to exercise his or her option as to all of the ordinary
shares comprised in the option, including shares in respect of which the option
would not otherwise be exercisable. In the event of a proposed sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the sale of the entire share
capital of the Company to another corporation, (whether for consideration in
cash or in the form of securities of any kind) (a "merger"), each option under
the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by the
purchasing corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such purchasing
corporation, unless the Board determines, in the exercise of its sole
discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that the participant
shall have the right to exercise the option as to all of the ordinary shares
comprised in the option. If the Board makes an option exercisable in lieu
of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Board shall notify the participant that the option shall be fully exercisable
for a period of twenty (20) days from the date of such notice, and the option
will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

       The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole
discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the
price per ordinary share comprised in each outstanding option, in the event
that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights
offerings or other increases or reductions of share capital, or in the event of
a merger.

15.  NONASSIGNABILITY

       Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant's account nor any
rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the
Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way
(other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in
Section 22 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment,
transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect.

                                       8

<PAGE>

16.  REPORTS

       Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan.
Each participant shall receive promptly after the end of each Offering Period a
report of his or her account setting forth the total payroll deductions
accumulated (and if applicable, the Conversion Rate (as defined in Section
9(g)) at which such participant's payroll deductions were converted into U.S.
Dollars), the number of shares subscribed for, the per share price thereof and
the remaining cash balance, if any, carried forward to the next Offering Period.

17.  NOTICE OF DISPOSITION

       Each participant shall notify the Company if the participant disposes of
any of the shares subscribed for in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan
if such disposition occurs within two years from the Offering Date or within
one year from the Purchase Date on which such shares were subscribed for (the
"NOTICE PERIOD"). Unless such participant is disposing of any of such shares
during the Notice Period, such participant shall keep the certificates
representing such shares in his or her name (and not in the name of a nominee)
during the Notice Period. The Company may, at any time during the Notice
Period, place a legend or legends on any certificate representing shares
acquired pursuant to the Plan requesting the Company's transfer agent to notify
the Company of any transfer of the shares. The obligation of the participant to
provide such notice shall continue notwithstanding the placement of any such
legend on the certificates.

18.  NO RIGHTS TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT

           (a) Neither this Plan nor the grant of any option hereunder shall
confer any right on any employee to remain in the employ of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or restrict the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate
such employee's employment.

           (b) In the event that any person holding an option under the Plan
ceases to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary for whatever reason, he
shall have no right to any compensation in respect of the loss of his right to
receive shares under this Plan.

19.  EQUAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES

       All eligible employees shall have equal rights and privileges with
respect to the Plan so that the Plan qualifies as an "employee stock purchase
plan" within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code
and the related regulations. Any provision of the Plan which is inconsistent
with Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code shall, without further
act or amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with the
requirements of Section 423. This Section 19 shall take precedence over all
other provisions in the Plan.

                                       9

<PAGE>

20.  NOTICES

       All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company
under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given
when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the
person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

21.  TERM; SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

       This Plan shall become effective at such date and time as the
Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
relating to the Company's securities is declared effective (and then only
provided that the initial public offering later closes). This Plan shall be
approved by the shareholders of the Company, in any manner permitted by
applicable corporate law, within twelve months before or after the date this
Plan is adopted by the Board. No subscription for shares pursuant to the Plan
shall occur prior to such shareholder approval. Thereafter, no later than
twelve (12) months after the Company becomes subject to Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 with
respect to shareholder approval. The Plan shall continue until the earlier to
occur of termination by the Board, issue of all of the ordinary shares reserved
for issue under the Plan, or ten (10) years from the adoption of the Plan by
the Board.

22.  DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

           (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary
who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account
under the Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to the end
of an Offering Period but prior to delivery to him of such shares and cash. In
addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is
to receive any cash from the participant's account under the Plan in the event
of such participant's death prior to a Purchase Date.

           (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of
the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to
the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such
shares or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of
the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the
Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

23.   CONDITIONS UPON ISSUE OF SHARES; LIMITATION ON SALE OF SHARES

       Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise
of such option and the issue and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall
comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including,
without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as

                                       10

<PAGE>

amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be
listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company
with respect to such compliance.

24.    AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

       The Board may at any time amend, terminate or extend the term of the
Plan, except that any such termination cannot affect options previously granted
under the Plan, nor may any amendment make any change in an option previously
granted which would adversely affect the right of any participant, nor may any
amendment be made without approval of the shareholders of the Company obtained
in accordance with Section 21 hereof within 12 months of the adoption of such
amendment (or earlier if required by Section 21) if such amendment would:

           (a) increase the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan;

           (b) change the designation of the employees (or class of employees)
eligible for participation in the Plan; or

           (c) constitute an amendment for which shareholder approval is
required in order to comply with Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) of the

                               WARRANT AGREEMENT

     THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT, dated as of ______________, 2000, by and between
Founders Food & Firkins Ltd., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), and
Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, as the Warrant Agent (the "Warrant
Agent").

     WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue up to 1,150,000 units (the "Units"),
each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the
Company (the "Common Stock") and one redeemable Class A Warrant to purchase one
share of Common Stock (each a "Warrant"), in connection with the Company's
initial public offering (the "Offering") pursuant to the Company's Registration
Statement on Form SB-2, as amended.

     WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company, and the Warrant Agent desires so to act, in connection with the
issuance, registration, transfer, exchange and exercise of the Warrants.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                         APPOINTMENT OF WARRANT AGENT;
                        ISSUANCE, FORM AND EXECUTION OF
                              WARRANT CERTIFICATES

     Section 1.1    APPOINTMENT OF WARRANT AGENT.  The Company hereby appoints
the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company, and the Warrant Agent hereby
accepts the agency established herein and agrees to perform its agency duties in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant Agreement.

     Section 1.2    WARRANT CERTIFICATES.  The Company shall deliver to the
Warrant Agent certificates which the Company has authorized to represent the
Warrants ("Warrant Certificates").  The Warrant Certificates shall be
substantially as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and may have such legends,
summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate
and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, or as
may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation relating
to listing of the Warrants on the Nasdaq system, including the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, or on any stock exchange or to conform to usage.  The Warrant
Certificates shall be dated with the date of their issuance.

     Section 1.3    EXECUTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.  The Warrant Certificates
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer of the
Company, either manually or by facsimile signature printed thereon.  The Warrant
Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Warrant Agent and shall not
be valid for any purpose unless countersigned.  Any Warrant Certificate may be
signed on behalf of the Company by the person who at the actual date of the
signing of such Warrant Certificate shall have been a duly authorized officer of
the Company, regardless of whether at the date of issuance of such Warrant
Certificate such person has ceased to be a duly authorized officer of the
Company.

                                   ARTICLE II
                              EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

     Section 2.1    EXERCISE.  Any or all of the Warrants represented by each
Warrant Certificate may be exercised by the holder thereof on or before 5:00
p.m., Minneapolis time, on _______________ (unless extended

<PAGE>

by the Company), by surrender of the Warrant Certificate with the purchase
form, which is printed on the reverse thereof (or a reasonable facsimile
thereof), duly executed by such holder, to the Warrant Agent at its principal
office in South St. Paul, Minnesota.  The purchase form must be accompanied
by payment, in cash or by certified check payable to the Company, in an
amount equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant represented by such Warrant Certificate, as
adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Article III hereof, multiplied by the
exercise price of $5.00, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Article
III hereof (such price as so adjusted from time to time being herein called
the "Purchase Price"), and such holder shall be entitled to receive such
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, as so
adjusted, at the time of such exercise.

     Section 2.2    TIME OF EXERCISE.  Each exercise of Warrants shall be deemed
to have been effective immediately prior to the close of business on the
business day on which the Warrant Certificate relating to such Warrant shall
have been surrendered to the Warrant Agent as provided in Section 2.1.  At such
time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise, as
provided in Section 2.3, shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of
record thereof.

     Section 2.3    ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES.
As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, and in any event
within 10 days after receipt by the Company of notice of exercise under Section
2.1, the Company, at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable
issue taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder
thereof or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct:

          (a)  a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and
     nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled
     upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such
     holder would otherwise be entitled, an amount in cash equal to such
     fraction multiplied by the then current value of a share of Common Stock,
     such current value to be determined as follows:

               (i)   if the Common Stock shall be listed or admitted to unlisted
          trading privileges on any single national securities exchange, then
          such current value shall be computed on the basis of the last reported
          sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on the last business
          day prior to the date of the exercise of such Warrant upon which a
          sale shall have been effected; or

               (ii)  if the Common Stock shall not be so listed or admitted to
          unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices therefor in the
          over-the-counter market shall be reported by Nasdaq, including the
          Nasdaq SmallCap Market, then such current value shall be computed on
          the basis of the Last Reported Sale Valuation Method or, in the event
          such method is not then used by Nasdaq, the average of the closing bid
          and asked prices on the last business day prior to the date of the
          exercise of such Warrant as so reported; or

               (iii) if the Common Stock shall be listed or admitted to unlisted
          trading privileges on more than one national securities exchange or
          one or more national securities exchanges and in the over-the-counter
          market, then such current value shall, if different as a result of
          calculation under the applicable method(s) described above in this
          Section, be deemed to be the higher number calculated in connection
          therewith; or

               (iv)  if the Common Stock shall not be so listed or admitted to
          unlisted trading privileges and such bid and asked prices shall not be
          so reported, then such current value shall be computed on the basis of
          the book value of Common Stock as of the close of business on the

                                       2

<PAGE>

          last day of the month immediately preceding the date upon which such
          Warrant was exercised, as determined by the Company; and

          (b)  in case such exercise includes only part of the Warrant
     represented by the Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate or
     Warrant Certificates of like tenor calling in the aggregate on the face or
     faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without
     giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares
     called for on the face of such Warrant Certificate minus the number of such
     shares designated by the holder for such exercise as provided in Section
     2.1.  Warrants represented by a properly assigned Warrant Certificate may
     be exercised by a next holder without first having a new Warrant
     Certificate issued.

     Section 2.4     EXTENSION OF EXERCISE PERIOD; CHANGE OF EXERCISE PRICE.
The Company may, upon notice given to the Warrant Agent, and without the consent
of the holders of the Warrant Certificates, (a) reduce the Purchase Price during
all or any portion of the originally stated exercise period, (b) extend the
period over which the Warrants are exercisable beyond _______________, and (c)
increase or decrease the Purchase Price for any period the Warrant exercise
period is extended.  Within a reasonable time prior to the effective time of
such change or extension, the Company shall provide the Warrant Agent and
Warrantholders of record with written notice of any change in the Purchase Price
or extension of the exercise period, as the case may be, specifying the time to
which such exercise period is extended, or the new Purchase Price and the
periods for which such new Purchase Price is in effect.

                                  ARTICLE III
                            ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS

     Section 3.1     ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.

          (a)  In the event that:

               (i)   any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable
          in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock shall be
          paid by the Company;

               (ii)  the Company shall subdivide its then outstanding shares of
          Common Stock into a greater number of shares; or

               (iii) the Company shall combine outstanding shares of Common
          Stock by reclassification or otherwise;

     the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until
     adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to
     a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (A)
     the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
     event, multiplied by the then existing Purchase Price, by (B) the total
     number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
     (including the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in respect
     of any securities convertible into Common Stock).  The resulting, quotient
     shall be the adjusted Purchase Price per share.

          (b)  No adjustments of the Purchase Price shall be made if the amount
     of such adjustments shall be less than $0.05 per share, but in such case
     any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be
     carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with a
     subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so
     carried forward, shall amount to not less than $0.05 per share.

                                       3

<PAGE>

     Section 3.2     ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES PURCHASABLE ON EXERCISE OF
WARRANTS.  Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.1
above, the registered holder of each Warrant shall thereafter (until another
such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the adjusted Purchase Price the
number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying
the number of shares specified in such Warrant (as adjusted as a result of all
adjustments in the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment) by the
Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so
obtained by the adjusted Purchase Price.

     Section 3.3     NOTICE AS TO ADJUSTMENT.  Upon any adjustment of the
Purchase Price and in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company shall within
10 days after the effective date of such adjustment give written notice thereof,
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each registered Warrantholder
at the address of such Warrantholder as shown on the books of the Company, which
notice shall state the adjusted Purchase Price and the adjusted number of shares
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which each calculation is
based.

     Section 3.4     EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, ETC.
If at any time while any Warrant is outstanding there should be any capital
reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other
than the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding
shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise and other than a
combination of shares provided for in Section 3.1 hereof) or any consolidation
or merger of the Company with another corporation or any sale, conveyance, lease
or other transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its property to
any other corporation, then the holder of any Warrant shall, during the
remainder of the period such Warrant is exercisable, be entitled to receive,
upon payment of the Purchase Price, the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting
from such consolidation or merger, or of the corporation in which the property
of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred, as the
case may be, to which the Common Stock (and any other securities and property)
of the Company, deliverable upon the exercise of such Warrant, would have been
entitled upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock,
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer if such Warrant
had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization,
reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance,
lease or other transfer; provided that, in any such case, appropriate adjustment
(as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the
application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant Agreement with respect
to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholders to the end that the
provisions set forth in this Warrant Agreement (including the adjustment of the
Purchase Price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants) shall thereafter be applicable, as near as may be reasonably
practicable, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise of the Warrants as if the Warrants had been exercised
immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital
stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the
Warrantholders had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such
capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger.  The Company
shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer unless, upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
corporation or the corporation to which the property of the Company has been
sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred shall assume by written
instrument the obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant such shares
of stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such holder shall be entitled to purchase.

     Section 3.5     PRIOR NOTICE AS TO CERTAIN EVENTS.  In case at any time:

          (a)  the Company shall pay any dividend upon its Common Stock payable
     in stock or make any distribution (other than cash dividends) to the
     holders of its Common Stock;

          (b)  the Company shall offer for subscription purposes to the holders
     of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or any
     other rights;

                                       4

<PAGE>

          (c)  there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of
     the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company
     with, or sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially
     all of its assets to, another corporation; or

          (d)  there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
     liquidation or winding up of the Company;

the Company shall give prior written notice, by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to each registered Warrantholder at the address of such
Warrantholder as shown on the books of the Company, of the date on which (i) the
books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for each stock
dividend, distribution or subscription rights or (ii) such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up shall take place, as the case may be.  Such notice shall also specify
the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record shall participate
in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or shall be entitled to
exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding up, as the case may be.  Such written notice shall be
given at least 20 days prior to the action in question and not less than 20 days
prior to the date on which the Company's transfer books are closed in respect
thereto.

     Section 3.6     CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.  The Company will not,
by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrant Certificate, but will
at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding, and (b) will
not (i) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any
other person or entity, (ii) consolidate with or merge into any other entity
where the Company is not the surviving entity, or (iii) permit any other entity
to consolidate with or merge into the Company where the Company is the surviving
entity, where in connection with such consolidation or merger, the Common Stock
then issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be changed into or
exchanged for shares or other securities or property of any other entity unless,
in any such case, the other entity acquiring such properties and assets,
continuing or surviving after such consolidation or merger or issuing or
distributing such shares or other securities or property, as the case may be,
shall expressly assume in writing and be bound by all the terms of this Warrant
Agreement and the Warrant Certificates.

     Section 3.7     RESERVATION AND LISTING OF COMMON STOCK.  The Company will
at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide
for the issuance of the same upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.  All
such shares shall be authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  Upon the exercise of any of the
Warrants, the Company, at its expense, will list on the Nasdaq system, including
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, if applicable, and on each national securities
exchange on which any Common Stock may be listed, subject to official notice of
issuance, and will use its best efforts to maintain such listing of, the shares
of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any Warrant.

     Section 3.8     REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION FOR COMMON STOCK.  The Company
will use its best efforts to (a) maintain the effectiveness of a current
prospectus covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Class A Warrants
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and
(b) maintain the exemptions or qualifications of such Common Stock under the
securities laws of the states in which the Company initially qualifies the Units
for sale in the Offering.  The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility for
the maintenance of such exemptions or qualifications or for liabilities arising
from the exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants in jurisdictions where
exemptions or qualifications have not been maintained or are otherwise
unavailable.  Shares of Common Stock will not be issued to persons desiring to
exercise the Warrants if, at the time of exercise, a registration statement is
not effective under the Securities Act or the Common Stock underlying the
Warrants is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the state where the
holders of the Warrants reside.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                             REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS

     Section 4.1     REDEMPTION PRICE.  The Warrants may be redeemed at the
option of the Company at any time, upon notice as set forth in Section 4.2, at
the redemption price equal to $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing bid
price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq system exceeds $6.25 per share (such
price subject to adjustment from time to time in the same manner as the Purchase
Price pursuant to the provisions of Article III hereof) for any 45 consecutive
trading days prior to the date such notice of redemption is given.

     Section 4.2     NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.  In the case of any redemption of
Warrants, the Company or, at its request, the Warrant Agent in the name of and
at the expense of the Company, shall give notice of such redemption to the
holders of the Warrants to be redeemed as hereinafter provided in this Section
4.2.  Notices of redemption to the holders of Warrants shall be given by mailing
by first-class mail a notice of such redemption not less than 20 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption.  Any notice which is given in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the Warrantholder receives notice.  In any case, failure to duly give such
notice to the holder of any Warrant Certificate shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of the Warrants represented by any other
Warrant Certificate.  Each such notice shall specify the date fixed for
redemption, the place of redemption and the redemption price of $0.01 at which
each Warrant is to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption
price of the Warrants will be made upon surrender of the Warrants at such place
of redemption, and that if not exercised by the close of business on the date
fixed for redemption, the exercise rights of the Warrants identified for
redemption shall expire unless extended by the Company.  Such notice shall also
state the current Purchase Price and the date on which the right to exercise the
Warrants will expire unless extended by the Company.

     Section 4.3     PAYMENT OF WARRANTS ON REDEMPTION; DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION
PRICE.  If notice of redemption shall have been given as provided in Section
4.2, the redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant shall, unless the Warrant is
theretofore exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, become due and payable on
the date and at the place stated in such notice.  On and after such date of
redemption, provided that cash sufficient for the redemption thereof shall then
be deposited by the Company with the Warrant Agent for that purpose, the
exercise rights of the Warrants identified for redemption shall expire.  On
presentation and surrender of Warrant Certificates at such place of payment
specified in such notice, the Warrant identified for redemption shall be paid
and redeemed at the redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant.  Prior to the date
fixed for redemption, the Company shall deposit with the Warrant Agent an amount
of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Warrants identified
for redemption.  Any monies which shall have been deposited with the Warrant
Agent for redemption of Warrants and which are not required for that purpose by
reason of exercise of Warrants shall be repaid to the Company upon delivery to
the Warrant Agent of evidence satisfactory to it of such exercise.

                                   ARTICLE V
                      CERTAIN OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO
                   RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

     Section 5.1     NO RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS.  The Warrant Certificates shall
be issued in registered form only.  No Warrant Certificate shall entitle the
holder thereof to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the
Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends
and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend meetings of
holders of Common Stock or any other proceeding of the Company.

     Section 5.2     LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT
CERTIFICATES.  Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of any Warrant Certificate, and (a) in the case of such loss, theft, or
destruction, upon delivery to the Warrant Agent of an indemnity bond in form and
amount, and issued by a bonding company, reasonably satisfactory to

                                       6

<PAGE>

the Company, or (b) in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender to and
cancellation by the Warrant Agent of such Warrant Certificate, the Company at
its expense will execute and cause the Warrant Agent to countersign and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor.

     Section 5.3     TRANSFER AGENT; CANCELLATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES;
UNEXERCISED WARRANTS.  Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association (and any
successor), as transfer agent of the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"), is
hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number
of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to
permit the exercise in full of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.  The
Company will keep a copy of this Warrant Agreement on file with the Transfer
Agent.  The Warrant Agent, and any successor thereto, is hereby irrevocably
authorized to requisition from time to time from the Transfer Agent certificates
for shares of Common Stock required for exercise of Warrants.  The Company will
supply the Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for shares of Common
Stock for such purpose and will make available any cash required in settlement
of fractional share interests.  All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon the
exercise or redemption of Warrants shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent and
shall thereafter be delivered to the Company.  Such canceled Warrant
Certificates, with the purchase form on the reverse thereof duly completed and
signed, shall constitute conclusive evidence as between the parties hereto of
the numbers of shares of Common Stock which shall have been issued upon
exercises of Warrants.  Promptly after the last day on which the Warrants are
exercisable (set forth in Section 2.1 above), the Warrant Agent shall certify to
the Company the aggregate number of Warrants then outstanding and unexercised.
No shares of Common Stock shall be subject to reservation with respect to
Warrants not exercised prior to the time and date identified in Section 2.1
above as the last time and date at which Warrants may be exercised.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

     Section 6.1     WARRANT REGISTER; TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE OF WARRANT
CERTIFICATES.  The Warrant Agent shall cause to be kept at the principal office
of the Warrant Agent a register (the "Warrant Register") in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, provisions shall be
made for the registration of transfers and exchanges of Warrant Certificates.
Upon surrender for transfer or exchange of any Warrant Certificate, properly
endorsed, to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent at the Company's expense will
issue and deliver to or upon the order of the holder thereof a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such holder (upon
payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in
the aggregate on the face thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock
called for on the face of the Warrant Certificate so surrendered.  Any Warrant
Certificate surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the
Warrant Agent and shall thereafter be delivered to the Company.

     Section 6.2     IDENTITY OF WARRANTHOLDERS.  Until a Warrant Certificate is
transferred in the Warrant Register, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat
the person in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered as the absolute
owner thereof and of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant
Certificate is properly assigned in blank, the Company and the Warrant Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the absolute owner
of the Warrant Certificate and of the Warrant represented thereby for all
purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                          CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT

     Section 7.1     TAXES.  The Company will, from time to time, promptly pay
to the Warrant Agent, or make provision satisfactory to the Warrant Agent for
the payment of all taxes and charges that may be imposed by the United States or
any state upon the Company or the Warrant Agent upon the transfer or delivery of

other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate
surrendered in connection with the purchase thereof.

     Section 7.2     REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT AGENT IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

          (a)  The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from
     all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving 20 days' written
     notice to the Company (except that such shorter notice may be given if
     approved by the Company).  The Company may discharge the Warrant Agent at
     any time with or without reason, effective upon 20 days' written notice to
     the Warrant Agent (except that such shorter notice may be given if approved
     by the Warrant Agent).  If the office of Warrant Agent becomes vacant by
     resignation, discharge, incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall
     appoint a new Warrant Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such
     appointment within a period of 20 days after it has been notified in
     writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated
     Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Warrant Certificate, then the holder of
     any Warrant Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
     for the appointment of a new Warrant Agent.  Any new Warrant Agent, whether
     appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a corporation
     organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of the
     state of its incorporation and authorized under such laws to exercise
     corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal
     or state authority.  Furthermore, such new Warrant Agent shall be of good
     standing.  Any new Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute,
     acknowledge and deliver to the Company an instrument accepting such
     appointment hereunder and thereupon such new Warrant Agent without any
     further act or deed shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
     and responsibilities of the Warrant Agent hereunder with like effect as if
     it had been named herein as the Warrant Agent, but if for any reason it
     becomes necessary or expedient to have the former Warrant Agent execute and
     deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed, the same shall be
     done and shall be legally and validly executed and delivered by the former
     Warrant Agent.  Not later than the effective date of any such appointment
     the Company shall file notice thereof with the former Warrant Agent.  The
     Company shall promptly give notice of any such appointment to the holders
     of the Warrant Certificates by mail to their addresses as shown in the
     Warrant Register.  Failure to file or give such notice, or any defect
     therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the appointment of
     the successor Warrant Agent.

          (b)  Any company into which the Warrant Agent or any new Warrant Agent
     may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any
     company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
     Warrant Agent or any new Warrant Agent shall be a party, shall be the
     successor Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement without any further
     act; provided that if such company would not be eligible for appointment as
     a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of paragraph (a) of this
     Section 7.2 the Company shall forthwith appoint a new Warrant Agent in
     accordance with such provisions.  Any such successor Warrant Agent may
     adopt the prior countersignature of any predecessor Warrant Agent and
     deliver Warrant Certificates countersigned and not delivered by such
     predecessor Warrant Agent or may countersign Warrant Certificates either in
     the name of any predecessor Warrant Agent or the name of the successor
     Warrant Agent.

     Section 7.3     REMUNERATION OF WARRANT AGENT.  The Company will pay the
Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration in accordance with the Warrant Agent's
Warrant Exchange for Common Stock Fee Schedule, as amended from time to time,
for its services as Warrant Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Warrant Agent
upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in
the execution of its duties hereunder.

     Section 7.4     FURTHER ASSURANCES.  The Company will perform, exercise,
acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and
delivered all acts, instruments and assurances as reasonably may be required by
the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Warrant Agent of the
provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

     Section 7.5     LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITIES OF THE WARRANT AGENT.

          (a)  The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
     legal counsel for the Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall be
     full and complete authorization and protection of the Warrant Agent as to
     any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such
     opinion.

          (b)  Whenever, in the performance of its duties under this Warrant
     Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any
     matter be provided or established, or that any instructions with respect to
     the performance of its duties hereunder be given, by the Company prior to
     taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other
     evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be
     deemed to be conclusively proved and established, or such instructions may
     be given, by a certificate or instrument signed by an officer of the
     Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such certificate or
     instrument shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action
     taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Warrant
     Agreement in reliance upon such certificate or instrument; provided,
     however, that in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof
     accept other evidence of such matter or may require such further or
     additional evidence as it may deem reasonable.

          (c)  The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own
     negligence or willful misconduct.  The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder
     solely as agent, and its duties shall be determined solely by the
     provisions hereof.  The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and
     save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments,
     costs and counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent
     in the execution of this Warrant Agreement except as a result of the
     Warrant Agent's negligence or willful misconduct.

          (d)  The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by any reason of any
     of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Warrant Agreement
     or in the Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) or be
     required to verify the same, but rather all such statements and recitals
     are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.

          (e)  The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in
     respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificate (except its
     countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by
     the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant
     Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for
     the making of any adjustment in the Purchase Price, or number of shares
     issuable upon exercise of the Warrant Certificates or responsible for the
     manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the facts that would
     require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to
     make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation
     of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant
     Agreement or any Warrant Certificate or as to whether any shares of Common
     Stock or other securities are or will be duly authorized and validly issued
     and fully paid and nonassessable.

     Section 7.6     AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION.  The Warrant Agent may, without
the consent or concurrence of the holders of the Warrant Certificates, by
supplemental agreement or otherwise, join with the Company in making any changes
or corrections in this Warrant Agreement (a) which they shall have been advised
by counsel are required to cure any ambiguity or to correct any defective or
inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error herein
contained, (b) which add to the obligations of the Company in this Warrant
Agreement further obligations thereafter to be observed by it, or surrender any
right or power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Warrant
Agreement, or (c) which do not or will not adversely affect, alter or change the
rights, privileges or immunities of the holders of Warrant Certificates not
provided for under this Warrant Agreement; provided, however, that any term of
this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant Certificate may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated by an instrument in writing signed by each party
against which

                                       9

enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, or by
which the same is to be performed or observed.

                          FOUNDERS FOOD & FIRKINS LTD.

             INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA

     THIS CERTIFIES that ____________________________________________________ or
assigns, is the owner of the number of Warrants set forth above, each of which
represents the right to purchase from Founders Food & Firkins Ltd., a Minnesota
corporation (the "Company"), at any time on or before 5:00 p.m., Minneapolis
time, on _______________, upon compliance with and subject to the conditions set
forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement hereinafter referred to, one share
(subject to adjustments referred to below) of common stock of the Company (the
"Shares"), by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the purchase form on
the reserve side duly executed, at the principal office of Norwest Bank
Minnesota, National Association, or its successor, as warrant agent (the
"Warrant Agent"), and by paying, in full, in cash or by certified check payable
to the order of the Company, the purchase price of $5.00 per share, subject to
adjustment.

     Upon any exercise of less than all the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate, there shall be issued to the holder a new Warrant Certificate in
respect of the Warrants as to which this Warrant Certificate was not exercised.

     Upon the surrender for transfer or exchange hereof, properly endorsed, to
the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent (at the Company's expense) will issue and
deliver to the order of the holder hereof, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such holder (upon
payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in
the aggregate on the face thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock
called for on the face hereof.

     The Warrant Certificates are issued only as registered Warrant
Certificates.  Until this Warrant Certificate is transferred in the Warrant
Register, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the person in whose name
this Warrant Certificate is registered as the absolute owner hereof and of the
Warrants represented hereby for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.

     This Warrant Certificate is issued under the Warrant Agreement dated as of
___________, 2000, between the Company and the Warrant Agent and is subject to
the terms and provisions contained in said Warrant Agreement, to all of which
terms and provisions the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate consents
by acceptance hereof.  Copies of said Warrant Agreement are on file at the
principal office of the Warrant Agent in South St. Paul, Minnesota, and may be
obtained by written request to the Warrant Agent.

     The number of Shares receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants
represented by this Warrant Certificate and the purchase price per share are
subject to adjustment upon the happening of certain events specified in the
Warrant Agreement (which provisions are contained in Article III of the Warrant
Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference).

     No fractional Shares of the Company's Common Stock will be issued upon the
exercise of Warrants.  As to any final fraction of a share which a holder of
Warrants exercised in the same transaction would otherwise be entitled to
purchase on such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in lieu of
any fractional Share determined as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     The Warrants may be redeemed by the Company at any time, upon notice of
such redemption as set forth below, at the redemption price equal to $0.01 per
warrant, provided that the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
system exceeds $6.25 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant
Agreement) for any 45 consecutive trading days prior to the date such notice of
redemption is given.  Notice of redemption shall be mailed not less than 20 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of Warrants at their last
registered addresses.  If notice of redemption shall have been given as provided
in the Warrant Agreement and cash sufficient for the redemption to be deposited
by the Company for that purpose, the exercise rights of the Warrants identified
for redemption shall expire at the close of business on such date of redemption
unless extended by the Company.

     This Warrant Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any of the
rights of a holder of Common Stock of the Company, including, without
limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, to
exercise any preemptive right, or to receive any notice of or to attend meetings
of holders of Common Stock or any other proceedings of the Company.

     Shares may not be issued to holder upon exercise of this Warrant if, at the
time of exercise, a registration statement with respect to such Shares is not
effective under the Securities Act or if the Common Stock underlying the Warrant
is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the state wherein the holder of
the Warrant resides.

     This Warrant Certificate shall be void and the Warrants and any rights
represented hereby shall cease unless exercised on or before 5:00 p.m.,
Minneapolis time, on _______________, unless extended by the Company.

     This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose until it shall
have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.
