Note (2) Mortgage on Corporate Training, Development and Headquarters Facility On April 21, 1992 the Company consummated an agreement with the Lexington Savings Bank of Lexington, MA. to mortgage the Company's development, training and headquarters facility, located at 1000 Main Street, Acton, Massachusetts. The original principal amount of the mortgage was $560,000. In October 1997 the note was extended for a one year term through October 21, 1998 with monthly payments of $5,423.00, determined according to a twenty-year amortization period including interest at 10.0%. Lexington Savings Bank's parent company, Affiliated Community Bankcorp, Inc. was purchased by UST Corp., the parent company of USTrust in August 1998. The mortgage was not renewed in October 1998, however, the Company has received a mortgage proposal from USTrust. The principal of the loan has therefore been reclassified as a current liability. The remaining balance at March 31, 1999 was $475,473 The bank has required an interest bearing compensating balance account. On March 31, 1998 this account equaled $28,675. Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Overview Pamet Systems, Inc. (the Company or Pamet Systems), founded in 1987, designs and implements broad-based information technology solutions for public safety agencies enabling them to realize cost efficiencies and provide better service. The company's suite of products is composed of four major components: PoliceServer, FireServer, CADServer and JailServer The Company also offers several companion products including ImageServer, MobileServer, QueryStation and Mapping. The Company's revenues consist primarily of sales of these software applications, the associated hardware and systems integration, and support and update service fees. The Company's revenues for the 3 month period ended March 31, 1999 (the 1999 period) decreased 34.5% to $395,790 from $604,163 for the 3 month period ending March 31, 1998 (the 1998 period). Revenues from the Company's principal products continued to decline in the 1999 period as a result of market expectations for a complete Microsoft operating environment using Microsoft NT Server and a Windows 95/98 or NT Desktop graphical user interface. In response to the market, the Company began rebuilding its products on the NT platform late in 1997 at considerable expense. The Company has invested over $1,280,000 to date developing what management believes will be one of the only fully integrated native NT suites of public safety applications available in the market. Sales for the 1999 period consisted of MobileServer systems (MDT) and sales to existing customers of server upgrades procured in preparation for the new NT-based applications. Management believes that sales of the Company's records management (RMS) and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) products will become a significant portion of the Company's revenue subsequent to the release of the NT-based versions of these products in the third quarter of 1999. The Company continues to believe there are significant market opportunities based on the federal Crime bill funding expected in 1999 and beyond, the establishment of E911 centers, heightened emphasis on crime prevention and control in most communities and the awareness by municipalities that computer systems can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their public safety resources. The Company has also seen increased emphasis on the coordination of public safety systems between neighboring towns, county, and state police organizations. The Company's products are designed and marketed with the option to be used in this type of regional application. The primary focus of management during the 1999 period has been in three areas: current revenue and development of a sales pipeline for the NT product, completion of the development and integration of the new applications for release during the third quarter of 1999 and the acquisition of adequate funding to ensure the completion of the NT development program and the establishment of the sales and operations infrastructure required to support anticipated sales growth. Relative to the acquisition of investment, during the 1999 period $350,000 was received in the private placement program and, subsequent to the end of the 1999 period, an additional $410,000 was received. Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Net sales in the 1999 period decreased 34.5% to $395,790 from $604,163 for the 1998 period. The revenues for the 1999 period reflected the continued slowing of system sales while customers await the release of the Company's NT-based product as discussed above. Prospective customers who have received COPS More grant awards are either delaying spending the funds or purchasing companion products such as MobileServer and ImageServer or upgrading server capability while they await the release of the NT product suite. The revenues for the 1999 period were comprised of two hardware upgrades, two ImageServer systems, and three MobileServer systems compared to one hardware upgrade, three ImageServer systems, eight MobileServer systems during the 1998 period. The MobileServer sales in the 1999 period represented 61.3% of net hardware and software sales, down from 74.3% of net hardware and software sales in the 1998 period. Support revenues increased 28.8% to $158,071 for the 1999 period from $122,688 for the 1998 period reflecting the increase in the customer base from the 1998 period. Cost of product decreased 49.1% or $144,352 to $149,779 for the 1999 period from $294,131 for the 1998 period reflecting decreased revenues in the 1999 period and the increase of high margin support revenues during the period. The resulting increase in gross margin from from 51.3% in the 1998 period to 62.2% in the 1999 period can be attributed to the significant increase in the support revenues and improved margins on the MobileServer sales. Operating expenses increased $75,644 or 10.4% to $803,088 for the 1999 period compared to $727,444 for the 1998 period primarily due to the addition of sales and customer support resources and continued spending on research and product development. Total research and development expenditures, including non-capitalized spending on the NT suite of products for outside resources and the deployment of current staff to product development and testing, represented $121,888 or 161.1% of the increase. In addition, the Company capitalized $58,242 of development costs relating to PoliceServer NT and CADServer the 1999 period. During the development cycle of the NT products, the Company has utilized outside resources to accomplish product development goals while minimizing the long term financial commitments of the Company. As the products near release, management has focused internal resources on the projects to ensure timely completion of development and testing and product release on schedule in the third quarter of 1999. NT product development will continue throughout 1999 until all functionality in PoliceServer and FireServer have been ported to the NT platform consistent with market demands. Personnel costs show a decrease of 9.8% to $303,567 for the 1999 period compared to $336,408 for the 1998 period. However, gross personnel expenditures, prior to the reclassification of expense for employees assigned to the NT development program, reflect an increase of 9.5 %. The Company has continued to add strategic personnel in the areas of sales, support, and engineering to support expected increased revenue growth with an expanded market and the introduction of an NT-based product. Rent, utilities and telephone decreased 23.5% to $21,972 for the 1999 period from $28,717 for the 1998 period due primarily to an error in recording telephone expense in the fourth quarter of 1998. Travel and entertainment expenses decreased $28,222 or 52.8% to $25,272 for the 1999 period from $53,494 for the 1998 period. This decrease primarily reflects the reduction is sales travel in the Southeast region due to the resignation of the sales person in the region. Professional fees increased 9.1% to $68,280 for the 1999 period from $62,570 for the 1998 period due to increased legal fees that resulted from services associated with the ongoing private placement of debt and equity financing, the sale of the company headquarters building, and the issues associated with transactional activity. Depreciation expense increased 12.7% to $20,335 for the 1999 period from $18,042 for the 1998 period due to the purchase of several internally used software programs supporting the increased level of infrastructure. Other operating expenses increased 27.6% to $62,636 for the 1999 period from $49,075 for the 1998 period primarily due to increases in internet access and usage costs and increased expenditures on office supplies and equipment Net interest expense for the 1999 period was $74,060 compared to $23,649 for the 1998 period, reflecting an increase of $50,411 or 213.2%. This increase can be attributed to the fees incurred from utilization of the receivables financing agreement with Silicon Bank and the interest associated with the convertible promissory notes and vendor line of credit secured in the fourth quarter of 1998 and the first quarter of 1999. The net loss for the 1999 period was $(631,137) or $(.25) per share compared to net loss of $441,061 or $(.17) per share for the 1998 period. The loss is due primarily to a decrease in sales in the 1999 period in conjunction with increased operating expenses resulting from product development and the increased infrastructure costs which will position the Company for expected future revenue growth. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working capital was a deficit of $(1,685,901) at March 31, 1999 compared to a deficit of $(1,360,973) at December 31, 1998 due to the reduced sales, the current level of research and development spending and the additional expenses associated with the increased corporate infrastructure. In addition, the mortgage note on the Company's headquarters building was not renewed as of March 31, 1999 and the entire loan amount outstanding of $475,473 is included in current liabilities for the 1999 period. Nevertheless, the Company remains highly leveraged. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company secured $350,000 of additional financing in the form of long-term convertible debt, received commitments from investors to convert $600,000 in long-term convertible debt to equity, and received $300,000 in loan commitments from directors. Subsequent to the end of the 1999 period, an additional $410,000 was secured in the form of long term convertible debt. In general, the outstanding long-term convertible debt funding accrues interest at 11%, has a two-year term, carries the option of conversion of the principal to common stock by the debt holder or repayment of principal and accrued interest by the Company, and has 100% warrant coverage attached that allows for purchase of additional shares of common stock at the conversion price of $2.50. Cash increased to $93,051 at March 31,1999 from $54,817 at December 31, 1998. Accounts receivable decreased to $229,169 at March 31, 1999 from $418,229 at December 31, 1998 due to the reduced sales for the 1999 period. While resources necessary to fund the completion of the NT development program and provide working capital for operations continue to be a focus of concern for the Company, the Company believes that the additional funding which has been secured or committed, the anticipated funds from the sale of the headquarters building, anticipated awards from the "COPS More 98" grant submissions combined with sales of the Company's existing and anticipated suite of products should ensure continued operations through the end of the year. If additional funds are required, the Board of Directors is willing to increase its investment or seek additional financing. Backlog at March 30, 1999 was $345,000. The Company is continuing to consider projects to increase its cash position such as activities to raise capital, mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had accumulated approximately $7,000,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire beginning in the year 2004. In addition, the Company has state net operating losses to carryforward of $3,950,000 which expire between the years 1999 and 2003. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the rate at which a corporation may utilize its net operating losses to offsets income for federal tax purposes is subject to specified limitations during periods after the corporation has undergone an "ownership change". It has been determined that an ownership change did take place at the time of the Registrant's initial public offering. However, the limitations on the loss carryforward exceed the accumulated loss at the time of the"ownership change". Thus there is no restriction on its use. Seasonality The majority of the Company's installed base has a fiscal year that commences on July 1 and, therefore, the Company bills its customers for their annual software support and update service on July 1 of each year. Consequently, cash flow representing software support revenues has tended to be higher in the second half of the Registrant's fiscal year, although software support revenues are recognized ratably throughout the fiscal year. Revenue Recognition Revenues from software license fees are recognized when a contract has been executed, the product has been delivered, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the related receivable is probable. Maintenance revenues, including those bundled with the initial license fee, are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period. Consulting and training service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Year 2000 Company engineers have performed extensive testing to insure that all of the Company's supported software products are compliant with the year 2000 transition. The Company's software was developed to store and calculate date related information using 4 digit values, so records dated December 31, 1999 will be followed by records dated January 1, 2000. Testing has shown that the Company's software successfully manages the year 2000 rollover while maintaining data and system integrity. For the turnkey systems that the Company sells, the Company continues to monitor the progress of other third party suppliers on whom it depends, such as Microsoft and Compaq. Although the Company cannot certify these third party products, the Company will continue to monitor the published status of their compliance and notify its supported customers of any findings. The Company's customers have been informed that year 2000 compliance may not apply to older computer equipment or non-current versions of system software. Internally the Company utilizes some third-party vendor computer hardware, networking equipment, telecommunication products and software products that may or may not be year 2000 compliant. However, the Company has been assured, by third party vendors that the software products that the Company relies on to manage its internal finance, materials and support activities are all year 2000 compliant. Internal testing to verify these assurances will not be completed until July 1999. The Company also relies, directly or indirectly, on the external systems of suppliers, creditors, financial organizations and governmental entities for accurate exchange of data. The impact of year 2000 non-compliance by any of these entities is being monitored at this time. Inflation Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations to date.

All payments or prepayments of principal and interest and other sums due pursuant to this Note shall be made by check payable to the Payee at the address set forth above or at such other address as Payee shall have previously designated to the Company in writing not later than two Business Days (as defined below) prior to the date on which such payment becomes due. If the due date of any payment under this Note would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such date will be extended to the immediately succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable at the rate set forth herein for the period of the extension. The term "Business Day" shall mean any day on which commercial banks in the State of New York are not authorized or required to close. 5. Conversion; Repayment. (a) Conversion/Repayment and Conversion Price. The Payee may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5, at any time, or from time to time, exercise its right to convert this Note to Common Stock by delivering a duly executed notice, in the form substantially similar to Exhibit A hereto, of such intention to the Company (the "Conversion Notice"); provided, however, that if, and to the extent, this Note or any portion thereof is called for prepayment, the holder may exercise its right to convert to Common Stock such portion of this Note as was called for prepayment. The Payee shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5, to, no more frequently than four times per annum in the aggregate, convert all or any part of the principal amount then outstanding under this Note (the "Note Amount"), in an amount not less than $25,000 (or such lesser amount as may then be outstanding), into that number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares"), obtained by dividing the Note Amount or such portion thereof presented for conversion by the Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" shall initially be $2.50 per share of Common Stock subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6 below. Upon a partial conversion or repayment of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder hereof, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unconverted or unredeemed, as the case may be, portion of this Note. (b) Issuance of Common Stock on Conversion. In order to effect the conversion of this Note, the Payee shall deliver to the Company at its principal office, this Note and a duly executed Conversion Notice; provided, however, that if the Payee desires to convert the Note on the Maturity Date, Payee shall notify the Company in writing of its intention to convert the Note at least five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date. The date upon which the Company receives the Conversion Notice, the Note and any other documentation required under this Section 5 of this Note or the Conversion Notice shall be referred to herein as the "Effective Date." Upon the Effective Date, this Note (or portion thereof) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5, at which time the rights of the Payee with respect to this Note and the amount so converted shall cease and, subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note (or portion thereof) shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such Common Stock. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Payee, at the address set forth above or at such other address as the Payee shall designate in writing, certificates representing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock into which this Note (or portion thereof), shall be converted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5. If this Note is called for prepayment it may be converted as provided herein up to and including the close of business on the business day preceding the date of prepayment. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note (or portion thereof). In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of this Note (or portion thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price. (c) Reserves. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from pre-emptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of this Note as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of this Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall from time to time, in accordance with applicable law, increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized amount of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of this Note at the time outstanding. (d) Taxes Upon Conversion. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the converting noteholder for any tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates, and such certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the holder of this Note; 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 issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder of this Note, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid; and provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay or reimburse the holder for any income tax payable by such holder as a result of such issuance. (e) Legends. All certificates representing Conversion Shares shall bear a conspicuous legend stating in substance: "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED THEREUNDER OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS AVAILABLE." The Company shall, upon the request of any holder of a stock certificate representing Conversion Shares and the surrender of such certificate, issue a new stock certificate without such legend if (i) the stock evidenced by such certificate has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and qualified under any applicable state securities law and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration and qualification or (ii) such holder shall have delivered to the Company a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the restrictions set forth herein are no longer required or necessary under the Securities Act or any applicable state law. 6. Conversion Price Protection. (a) In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend, the Board of Directors of the Company shall adjust the Conversion Price to appropriately reflect such event. (b) Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 6(a), if at any time, beginning April 1, 1999, the average of the Closing Prices (as defined herein) of the Common Stock for any 50 consecutive Trading Days (as defined herein) after April 1, 1999 (the "Average Closing Price") is less than $2.50 per share, then, so long as the Average Closing Price remains below $2.50 per share (a "Price Protection Period"), upon the conversion of all or any part of the principal amount outstanding under this Note, the Conversion Price of the Note shall be reduced to the Average Closing Price of the Common Stock for the 50 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of conversion. Notwithstanding any reduction of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6(b), a Price Protection Period shall end if the Average Closing Price is equal to or greater than $2.50 (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 6(a)) and the Conversion Price shall return to $2.50. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall not be reduced below $1.50 (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 6(a)). (c) As used in this Section 6, Trading Day means, in the event that the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange (or any successor to such exchange), a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (or such successor) is open for the transaction of business, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed is open for the transaction of business, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a day on which any New York Stock Exchange member firm is open for the transaction of business. (d) As used in this Section 6, the Closing Price of the Company's Common Stock shall be the last reported sale price as shown on the Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange, or, in case no such reported sale price is quoted on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, the last reported sales price, or in case no such reported sales price is quoted on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, on the principal national securities exchange (including, for purposes hereof, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. National Market System) on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if it is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the high closing bid price and the low closing asked price as reported on an inter-dealer quotation system. In the absence of any available public quotations for the Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith the fair value of the Common Stock, which determination shall be set forth in a certificate by the Secretary of the Company. 7. Subordination. (a) The Company irrevocably covenants and agrees, and the Holder of this Note, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment and/or cancellation (as shall be appropriate) in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined herein). The provisions of this Section 7 are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders shall, at any time, be entitled to enforce such provisions against the Company or Noteholder. No holder of any Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty or any other obligation to any Holder of this Note now or at any time hereafter. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, all the provisions of this Note shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be subject to the provisions of this Section 7, so far as the same may be applicable thereto. (b) For purposes of this Section 7 (and subject to Section 2.07 of the Securities Purchase Agreement), "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean any indebtedness, liability or obligation, contingent or otherwise, other than that arising pursuant to this Note, of the Company (any such indebtedness, liability or obligation being hereinafter in this definition referred to as an "Obligation") (i) which is created, assumed or incurred by the Company after the date of this Note and which, when created, assumed or incurred, is specifically designated by the Company as Senior Indebtedness for the purposes hereof in the instrument creating or evidencing the Company's liability with respect to such Obligations or (ii) any increases, guarantees, refundings, renewals, rearrangements or extensions of and amendments, modifications and supplements to any indebtedness, liability or obligation described in clause (i) above. 9. No Assignment. This Note may not be assigned by the Payee without the prior written consent of the Company. 10. Governing Law. This Note shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Note (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceedings relating hereto except in such courts). Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail at its address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it in any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Note, which is brought by or against it, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 11. Adjustment of Interest Rate. No provision of this Note shall require the payment of interest to the extent that receipt of any such payment by the Company would be contrary to the provisions of law applicable to the Company limiting the maximum amount of interest that may be charged to or collected from the Company, and if any sum in excess of such maximum rate of interest is paid or charged, the excess will be deemed to have been a prepayment of principal of this Note when paid, without premium or penalty, and all payments made thereafter will be appropriately applied to interest and principal to give effect to such maximum rate, and after such application any excess shall be immediately refunded to the Company.

(Hereinafter, (i) said Common Stock, together with any other equity securities which may be issued by the Company with respect thereto or in substitution therefor, is referred to as the "Common Stock," (ii) the shares of the Common Stock purchasable hereunder are referred to as the "Warrant Shares," (iii) the aggregate purchase price payable hereunder for the Warrant Shares is referred to as the "Aggregate Warrant Price," (iv) the price payable hereunder for each of the Warrant Shares is referred to as the "Per Share Warrant Price," (v) this Warrant, and all warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant are referred to as the "Warrant" and (vi) the holder of this Warrant is referred to as the "Holder.") The number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. This Warrant is issued by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company and William James Bell 1993 Trust (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 1. Exercise of Warrant. (a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, commencing February 8, 1999, and prior to 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on February 7, 2004, by the Holder of this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription form at the end hereof duly executed) at the address set forth in Subsection 9(a) hereof, together with proper payment of the Aggregate Warrant Price, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part. (b) The Aggregate Warrant Price or Per Share Warrant Price shall be paid in cash by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company. (c) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which the Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above (an "Exercise Date"). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates. (d) If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant has not been exercised and setting forth the proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such Warrant Shares. Upon such surrender of this Warrant, the Company will (a) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, and (b) deliver the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of the Warrant. (e) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair value of a share. 2. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company agrees that, prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company will at all times have authorized and in reserve, and will keep available, solely for issuance or delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares of the Common Stock as from time to time shall be receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 3. Adjustments. (a) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be adjusted so that if the Holder surrendered this Warrant for exercise after such action the Holder would be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after such adjustment) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock. (b) In case of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), the holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this Warrant. The above provisions of this subsection (b) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. Notice of any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holder not less than 30 days prior to such event. A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes. (c) In the event of any adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Per Share Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Per Share Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately after such adjustment. (d) Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price is adjusted as provided in this Warrant and upon any modification of the rights of the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly prepare a certificate of an officer of the Company, setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares after such adjustment or modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed to the Holder. 4. Per Share Warrant Price Protection. (a) Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3, if at any time, beginning April 1, 1999, the average of the Closing Prices (as defined herein) of the Common Stock for any 50 consecutive Trading Days (as defined herein) after April 1, 1999 (the "Average Closing Price") is less than $2.50 per share, then, so long as the Average Closing Price remains below $2.50 per share (a "Price Protection Period"), upon the exercise of all or any part of this Warrant, the Per Share Warrant Price shall be reduced to the Average Closing Price of the Common Stock for the 50 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of exercise. Notwithstanding any reduction of the Per Share Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4(a), a Price Protection Period shall end if the Average Closing Price is equal to or greater than $2.50 (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3) and the Per Share Warrant Price shall return to $2.50. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Per Share Warrant Price shall not be reduced below $1.50 (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3). (b) In the event of any adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant during the relevant Price Protection Period shall be adjusted by multiplying the aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which is the Per Share Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Per Share Warrant Price immediately after such adjustment. (c) As used in this Section 4, Trading Day means, in the event that the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange (or any successor to such exchange), a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (or such successor) is open for the transaction of business, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed is open for the transaction of business, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a day on which any New York Stock Exchange member firm is open for the transaction of business. (d) As used in this Section 4, the Closing Price of the Company's Common Stock shall be the last reported sale price as shown on the Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange, or, in case no such reported sale price is quoted on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, the last reported sales price, or in case no such reported sales price is quoted on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, on the principal national securities exchange (including, for purposes hereof, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. National Market System) on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if it is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the high closing bid price and the low closing asked price as reported on an inter-dealer quotation system. In the absence of any available public quotations for the Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith the fair value of the Common Stock, which determination shall be set forth in a certificate by the Secretary of the Company. 5. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of the Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the proper exercise of this Warrant shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. Subject to Section 6(e) hereof, the Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance of any Warrant Shares or certificates therefor. The Holder covenants and agrees that it shall pay, when due and payable, any and all federal, state and local income or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance of any Warrant Shares or certificates therefor. 6. Transfer (a) Securities Laws. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under any state securities laws and unless so registered may not be transferred, sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless an exemption from such registration is available. In the event the Holder desires to transfer this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares issued, the Holder must give the Company prior written notice of such proposed transfer including the name and address of the proposed transferee. Such transfer may be made only either (i) upon publication by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a ruling, interpretation, opinion or "no action letter" based upon facts presented to said Commission, or (ii) upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer will not violate the provisions of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or the rules and regulations promulgated under either such act, or to the effect that the Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that there is in effect a current prospectus meeting the requirements of Subsection 11(a) of the Securities Act, which is being or will be delivered to the purchaser or transferee at or prior to the time of delivery of the certificates evidencing the Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred. (b) Conditions to Transfer. Prior to any such proposed transfer (including, without limitation, a transfer by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution), and as a condition thereto, if such transfer is not made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Holder will, if requested by the Company, deliver to the Company (i) an investment covenant, in form and substance equivalent to that signed by the original Holder of this Warrant, signed by the proposed transferee, (ii) an agreement by such transferee to the restrictive investment legend set forth herein on the certificate or certificates representing the securities acquired by such transferee, (iii) an agreement by such transferee that the Company may place a "stop transfer order" with its transfer agent or registrar, and (iv) an agreement by the transferee to indemnify the Company to the same extent as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph. (c) Indemnity. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder understands the meaning and legal consequences of this Section 6, and the Holder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its representatives and each officer and director thereof from and against any and all loss, damage or liability (including all attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing this indemnity provision) due to or arising out of (a) the inaccuracy of any representation or the breach of any warranty of the Holder contained in, or any other breach by the Holder of, this Warrant, (b) any transfer of the Warrant or (c) any untrue statement or omission to state any material fact in connection with the investment representations or with respect to the facts and representations supplied by the Holder to counsel to the Company upon which its opinion as to a proposed transfer shall have been based. (d) Transfer. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with assignment documentation duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, and upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Any assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Warrant attempted contrary to the provisions of this Warrant, or any levy of execution, attachment or other process attempted upon the Warrant, shall be null and void and without effect. (e) Legend and Stop Transfer Orders. Unless the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, upon exercise of any part of the Warrant and the issuance of any of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to enter stop transfer orders with respect to such shares, and all certificates representing Warrant Shares shall bear on the face thereof substantially the following legend, insofar as is consistent with Massachusetts law: "The shares of common stock represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold, offered for sale, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless registered pursuant to the provisions of that Act or an opinion of counsel to the Company is obtained stating that such disposition is in compliance with an available exemption from such registration." 7. Loss, etc. of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination. 8. Warrant Holder Not Shareholder.

Interest shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date with respect to the principal amount of the Note then outstanding. No interest shall be deemed to have accrued or be payable on any portion of this Note which is Converted on or prior to the Maturity Date. 3. Prepayment.

All payments or prepayments of principal and interest and other sums due pursuant to this Note shall be made by check payable to the Payee at the address set forth above or at such other address as Payee shall have previously designated to the Company in writing not later than two Business Days (as defined below) prior to the date on which such payment becomes due. If the due date of any payment under this Note would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such date will be extended to the immediately succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable at the rate set forth herein for the period of the extension. The term "Business Day" shall mean any day on which commercial banks in the State of New York are not authorized or required to close. 5. Conversion; Prepayment. (a) Conversion/Prepayment and Conversion Price. The Payee may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5, at any time, or from time to time, exercise its right to convert this Note to Common Stock by delivering a duly executed notice, in the form substantially similar to Exhibit A hereto, of such intention to the Company (the "Conversion Notice"); provided, however, that if, and to the extent, this Note or any portion thereof is called for prepayment, the holder may exercise its right to convert to Common Stock such portion of this Note as was called for prepayment. The Payee shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5, to, no more frequently than four times per annum in the aggregate, convert all or any part of the principal amount then outstanding under this Note (the "Note Amount"), in an amount not less than $25,000 (or such lesser amount as may then be outstanding), into that number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares"), obtained by dividing the Note Amount or such portion thereof presented for conversion by the Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" shall initially be $2.50 per share of Common Stock. Upon a partial conversion or prepayment of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder hereof, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unconverted or unredeemed, as the case may be, portion of this Note. (b) Issuance of Common Stock on Conversion. In order to effect the conversion of this Note, the Payee shall deliver to the Company at its principal office, this Note and a duly executed Conversion Notice; provided, however, that if the Payee desires to convert the Note on the Maturity Date, Payee shall notify the Company in writing of its intention to convert the Note at least five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date. The date upon which the Company receives the Conversion Notice, the Note and any other documentation required under this Section 5 of this Note or the Conversion Notice shall be referred to herein as the "Effective Date." Upon the Effective Date, this Note (or portion thereof) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5, at which time the rights of the Payee with respect to this Note and the amount so converted shall cease and, subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note (or portion thereof) shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such Common Stock. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Payee, at the address set forth above or at such other address as the Payee shall designate in writing, certificates representing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock into which this Note (or portion thereof), shall be converted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5. If this Note is called for prepayment it may be converted as provided herein up to and including the close of business on the business day preceding the date of prepayment. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note (or portion thereof). In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of this Note (or portion thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price. (c) Reserves. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from pre-emptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of this Note as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of this Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall from time to time, in accordance with applicable law, increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized amount of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of this Note at the time outstanding. (d) Taxes Upon Conversion. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the converting noteholder for any tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates, and such certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the holder of this Note; 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 issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder of this Note, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid; and provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay or reimburse the holder for any income tax payable by such holder as a result of such issuance. (e) Legends. All certificates representing Conversion Shares shall bear a conspicuous legend stating in substance: "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED THEREUNDER OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS AVAILABLE." The Company shall, upon the request of any holder of a stock certificate representing Conversion Shares and the surrender of such certificate, issue a new stock certificate without such legend if (i) the stock evidenced by such certificate has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and qualified under any applicable state securities law and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration and qualification or (ii) such holder shall have delivered to the Company a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the restrictions set forth herein are no longer required or necessary under the Securities Act or any applicable state law. 6. Subordination. (a) The Company irrevocably covenants and agrees, and the Holder of this Note, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment and/or cancellation (as shall be appropriate) in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined herein). The provisions of this Section 6 are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders shall, at any time, be entitled to enforce such provisions against the Company or Noteholder. No holder of any Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty or any other obligation to any Holder of this Note now or at any time hereafter. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, all the provisions of this Note shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be subject to the provisions of this Section 6, so far as the same may be applicable thereto. (b) For purposes of this Section 6 (and subject to Section 2.06 of the Securities Purchase Agreement), "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean any indebtedness, liability or obligation, contingent or otherwise, other than that arising pursuant to this Note, of the Company (any such indebtedness, liability or obligation being hereinafter in this definition referred to as an "Obligation") (i) which is created, assumed or incurred by the Company after the date of this Note and which, when created, assumed or incurred, is specifically designated by the Company as Senior Indebtedness for the purposes hereof in the instrument creating or evidencing the Company's liability with respect to such Obligations or (ii) any increases, guarantees, refundings, renewals, rearrangements or extensions of and amendments, modifications and supplements to any indebtedness, liability or obligation described in clause (i) above. 8. No Assignment. This Note may not be assigned by the Payee without the prior written consent of the Company. 9. Governing Law. This Note shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Note (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceedings relating hereto except in such courts). Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail at its address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it in any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Note, which is brought by or against it, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 10. Adjustment of Interest Rate. No provision of this Note shall require the payment of interest to the extent that receipt of any such payment by the Company would be contrary to the provisions of law applicable to the Company limiting the maximum amount of interest that may be charged to or collected from the Company, and if any sum in excess of such maximum rate of interest is paid or charged, the excess will be deemed to have been a prepayment of principal of this Note when paid, without premium or penalty, and all payments made thereafter will be appropriately applied to interest and principal to give effect to such maximum rate, and after such application any excess shall be immediately refunded to the Company.

(Hereinafter, (i) said Common Stock, together with any other equity securities which may be issued by the Company with respect thereto or in substitution therefor, is referred to as the "Common Stock," (ii) the shares of the Common Stock purchasable hereunder are referred to as the "Warrant Shares," (iii) the aggregate purchase price payable hereunder for the Warrant Shares is referred to as the "Aggregate Warrant Price," (iv) the price payable hereunder for each of the Warrant Shares is referred to as the "Per Share Warrant Price," (v) this Warrant, and all warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant are referred to as the "Warrant" and (vi) the holder of this Warrant is referred to as the "Holder.") The number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. This Warrant is issued by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company and Mr. Stephen F. Wilder (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 1. Exercise of Warrant. (a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, commencing January 22, 1999, and prior to 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on January 21, 2004, by the Holder of this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription form at the end hereof duly executed) at the address set forth in Subsection 9(a) hereof, together with proper payment of the Aggregate Warrant Price, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part. (b) The Aggregate Warrant Price or Per Share Warrant Price shall be paid in cash by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company. (c) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which the Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above (an "Exercise Date"). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates. (d) If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant has not been exercised and setting forth the proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such Warrant Shares. Upon such surrender of this Warrant, the Company will (a) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, and (b) deliver the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of the Warrant. (e) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair value of a share. 2. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company agrees that, prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company will at all times have authorized and in reserve, and will keep available, solely for issuance or delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares of the Common Stock as from time to time shall be receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 3. Adjustments. (a) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be adjusted so that if the Holder surrendered this Warrant for exercise after such action the Holder would be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after such adjustment) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock. (b) In case of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), the holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this Warrant. The above provisions of this subsection (b) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. Notice of any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holder not less than 30 days prior to such event. A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes. (c) In the event of any adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Per Share Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Per Share Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately after such adjustment. (d) Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price is adjusted as provided in this Warrant and upon any modification of the rights of the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly prepare a certificate of an officer of the Company, setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares after such adjustment or modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed to the Holder. 4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of the Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the proper exercise of this Warrant shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. Subject to Section 5(e) hereof, the Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance of any Warrant Shares or certificates therefor. The Holder covenants and agrees that it shall pay, when due and payable, any and all federal, state and local income or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance of any Warrant Shares or certificates therefor. 5. Transfer (a) Securities Laws. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under any state securities laws and unless so registered may not be transferred, sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless an exemption from such registration is available. In the event the Holder desires to transfer this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares issued, the Holder must give the Company prior written notice of such proposed transfer including the name and address of the proposed transferee. Such transfer may be made only either (i) upon publication by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a ruling, interpretation, opinion or "no action letter" based upon facts presented to said Commission, or (ii) upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer will not violate the provisions of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or the rules and regulations promulgated under either such act, or to the effect that the Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that there is in effect a current prospectus meeting the requirements of Subsection 11(a) of the Securities Act, which is being or will be delivered to the purchaser or transferee at or prior to the time of delivery of the certificates evidencing the Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred. (b) Conditions to Transfer. Prior to any such proposed transfer (including, without limitation, a transfer by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution), and as a condition thereto, if such transfer is not made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Holder will, if requested by the Company, deliver to the Company (i) an investment covenant, in form and substance equivalent to that signed by the original Holder of this Warrant, signed by the proposed transferee, (ii) an agreement by such transferee to the restrictive investment legend set forth herein on the certificate or certificates representing the securities acquired by such transferee, (iii) an agreement by such transferee that the Company may place a "stop transfer order" with its transfer agent or registrar, and (iv) an agreement by the transferee to indemnify the Company to the same extent as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph. (c) Indemnity. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder understands the meaning and legal consequences of this Section 5, and the Holder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its representatives and each officer and director thereof from and against any and all loss, damage or liability (including all attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing this indemnity provision) due to or arising out of (a) the inaccuracy of any representation or the breach of any warranty of the Holder contained in, or any other breach by the Holder of, this Warrant, (b) any transfer of the Warrant or (c) any untrue statement or omission to state any material fact in connection with the investment representations or with respect to the facts and representations supplied by the Holder to counsel to the Company upon which its opinion as to a proposed transfer shall have been based. (d) Transfer. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with assignment documentation duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, and upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Any assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Warrant attempted contrary to the provisions of this Warrant, or any levy of execution, attachment or other process attempted upon the Warrant, shall be null and void and without effect. (e) Legend and Stop Transfer Orders. Unless the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, upon exercise of any part of the Warrant and the issuance of any of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to enter stop transfer orders with respect to such shares, and all certificates representing Warrant Shares shall bear on the face thereof substantially the following legend, insofar as is consistent with Massachusetts law: "The shares of common stock represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold, offered for sale, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless registered pursuant to the provisions of that Act or an opinion of counsel to the Company is obtained stating that such disposition is in compliance with an available exemption from such registration." 6. Loss, etc. of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination. 7. Warrant Holder Not Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a shareholder, prior to the exercise hereof. 8. Communication. No notice or other communication under this Warrant shall be effective unless the same is in writing and is mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to: (a) the Company at 1000 Main Street, Acton, Massachusetts 01720, or such other address as the Company has designated in writing to the Holder, or (b) the Holder at the address contained in the first paragraph of this Warrant, or such other address as the Holder has designated in writing to the Company. 9. Headings. The headings of this Warrant have been inserted as a matter of convenience and shall not affect the construction hereof. 10. Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
