There were no material unusual charges or credits to operations during the recently completed fiscal quarter. The results reported for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be expected for the entire year. 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 $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. The remaining balance on the mortgage at June 30, 1999 was $472,626 that was classified as a current liability since the mortgage was not renewed in October 1998. The bank has required an interest bearing compensating balance account. On June 30, 1999 this account equaled $28,818. The Company entered into a second mortgage agreement on June 16, 1999 with Area Realty, LLC, the prospective buyer of the building, for $100,000 at 11% per annum. The principal and accrued interest were to be repaid in one payment on the earlier of December 31, 1999 or the date upon which the building was sold by the Company to Area Realty, LLC. On August 6, 1999, the Company sold the facility to Area Realty, LLC for $1,150,000 and signed a leaseback agreement with the buyer for 7 years. Both the first and second mortgage and all accrued interest were repaid at that time. 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 NT, FireServer NT, CADServer NT and JailServer NT. The Company also offers several companion products including Imaging, Mobile, Query, 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 June 30, 1999 (the 1999 period) decreased 35.7% to $576,594 from $897,304 for the 3 month period ending June 30, 1998 (the 1998 period). This decrease reflects the continued trend of declining revenues from the Company's principal products 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 $1,740,000 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. Market response to the NT suite of products that will be released in the third quarter of 1999 has been favorable although the Company is unable to predict how successful its sales efforts will be. In addition to the Company's PoliceServer NT beta site in Cambridge, MA, the Company has been awarded three additional NT system orders from competitive bidding processes, including a countywide multi-agency system in Tennessee. PoliceServer NT and CADServer NT will move to the production environment in the third quarter of 1999 with the installation of the systems mentioned above. Management believes that sales of the Company's records management (PoliceServer NT and FireServer NT) and computer-aided dispatch (CADServer NT) products will become a significant portion of the Company's revenue subsequent to the release of the NT-based versions of these products. Sales for the 1999 period were sustained by Mobile systems and support revenues. The Company continues to believe that 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 four areas: current revenue and cost controls, 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 first six months of 1999 $760,000 was received in the private placement program. Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Net sales in the 1999 period decreased 35.7% to $576,594 from $897,304 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 COPSMore grant awards are either delaying spending the funds or purchasing companion products such as Mobile, Imaging, or Mapping. Over 60% of the sales in the second quarter can be attributed to the COPSMore grant programs. In addition, the revenues for the 1999 period showed a continued trend toward the Mobile product. The revenues for the 1999 period consisted of eight new Mobile systems, one Imaging system, four Query systems, and one Mapping system compared to two PoliceServer systems, three hardware upgrades, eight Mobile systems, and two Imaging systems in the 1998 period. The Mobile sales in the 1999 period represented 55.4% of net hardware and software sales as compared to 55.5% in the 1998 period. Support revenues increased 15.0% to $154,960 for the 1999 period from $134,785 for the 1998 period reflecting the increase in the customer base from the 1998 period. Cost of product decreased 44.7% or $189,211 to $234,058 for the 1999 period from $423,269 for the 1998 period. The resulting increase in gross margin from 52.8% in the 1998 period to 59.4% in the 1999 period reflects improved margins on Mobile and Imaging sales and continued favorable margins on support revenues. The improved margins also reflect the increased use of state bid list contractors as a procurement vehicle. These contractors partner with the Company and provide off-the- shelf hardware that combined with Pamet Systems software offers a complete solution for the customer. This arrangement reduces total revenues and increases margins for the company. Operating expenses reflect a decrease $160,849 or 17.9% to $737,273 for the 1999 period compared to $898,122 for the 1998 period primarily due to the capitalization of $317,749 of NT product development costs during the 1999 period. Gross expenses including capitalized development costs were $1,055,022, an increase of 17.5% over 1998 spending levels. Gross research and development expenditures in the 1999 period showed an increase of $267,092 or 135.8% over the 1998 levels reflecting the addition of in-house engineers, the continued use of outside resources for the development of CADServer NT and the increased deployment of current staff to the NT development program. During the development cycle of the NT products, the Company has continued to use 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 project 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 has been ported to the NT platform consistent with market demands. To offset the expenses associated with adding significant resources in the engineering and support areas to ensure the timeliness of the NT product delivery, management has focused on cost control in other areas including travel, rent, and telephone. As a result of increased deployment of in-house resources to research and development, net personnel costs reflected a decrease of 2.3% or $8,693. Gross personnel expenditures, including those allocated to research and development, increased $105,215 or 25.6% from $410,221 for the 1998 period to $515,436 for the 1999 period. These additional resources and the associated expenses are focused on the development, testing and documentation of the NT product and the implementation of a cohesive sales and marketing effort supporting the introduction and sale of the NT suite of products. Rent, utilities and telephone decreased 30.4% to $24,780 for the 1999 period from $35,597 for the 1998 period due primarily to the decreased phone expense resulting from negotiating reduced long distance rates and the reduction in office space and telephone expenses associated with the Southeast regional sales office in Maitland, Florida. Management has reduced the sales and support staffing of the Southeast regional office and has managed many of the sales and support functions from the corporate headquarters. As the new products are released during the third quarter of 1999, the Company plans to add resources to focus on the Southeast region. Travel and entertainment expenses decreased 23.5% to $36,814 for the 1999 period from $48,134 for the 1998 period. The 1998 expenses included the travel expenses associated with the COPSMore 1998 grant seminars held in 15 states. Similar expenses were not incurred in the 1999 period as no new federal grant programs were announced. Professional fees decreased 46.7% to $41,427 for the 1999 period from $77,669 for the 1998 period primarily due a reduction in consulting expenses. During 1998 the Company utilized outside resources to improve existing product documentation and to assist with the private placement funding program. These projects have been completed and the Company is using internal resources to document the NT suite of products. Depreciation expense increased 8.0% to $20,723 for the 1999 period from $19,191 for the 1998 period. The additional depreciation on upgraded in-house computer systems has been offset by reduced depreciation on older equipment. Other operating expenses decreased 32.9% to $90,936 for the 1999 period from $135,588 for the 1998 period. During the 1998 period, the Company experienced significant nonrecurring marketing, office supplies and postage expenses associated the adoption of a new corporate logo and in support of the COPSMore 98 grant seminars. Net interest expense for the 1999 period was $49,171 compared to $36,213 for the 1997 period. This reflects the increased fees associated the Company's receivables financing agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, the interest associated with the issuance of convertible debt and vendor lines of credit and the use of working capital loans from directors. The net loss for the 1999 period was $(443,908) or $(.15) per share compared to net loss of $(460,300) or $(.18) per share for the 1998 period. The loss is due primarily to increased operating expenses resulting from product development and the increased infrastructure costs which management believes will position the Company for expected future revenue growth. Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Net sales for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 (the 1999 period) decreased $529,083 or 35.2% to $972,384 from $1,501,467 for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 (the 1998 period). The decrease in sales reflects customers delaying purchases awaiting the release of the NT product suite. Most significantly affected were the system sales and Imaging, although Mobile sales were also adversely affected. However, support revenues increased 21.6% to $313,031 for the 1999 period from $257,473 for the 1998 period reflecting the increase in the customer base from the 1998 period. Cost of product decreased 46.5% to $383,836 for the 1999 period from the $717,400 for the 1998 period. Gross margin increased to 60.5% for the 1999 period from 52.2% for the 1998 period. The improvement in margin can be attributed a significant improvement in the Mobile margins as a result of some customers purchasing their hardware directly from the state bid list thereby increasing the higher margined software component of these sales. Net operating expenses decreased $85,205 or 5.2% to $1,540,361 for the 1999 period compared to $1,625,566 for the 1998 period. However gross operating expenses, including capitalized development costs of $375,991, were $1,916,352, an increase of $290,786 or 17.9% over the 1998 level. Gross expenditures on research and development increased $447,222 or 119.0%. The most significant portion of these expenditures was on the redesign of the Company's suite of products to the NT platform. Net personnel costs decreased 5.8% to $680,138 for the 1999 period from $721,673 for the 1998 period. As the Company's internal resources have been deployed to support the development, testing, documentation, and training program development for the NT suite of products, these costs have been allocated to research and development. However, gross personnel expenditures of $911,230 in the 1999 period versus $771,594 in the 1998 period reflect an increase of 18.1%. In addition to a Customer Support Manager and a sales representative in the Northeast added late in second quarter of 1998, this increase reflects more recent additions in engineering, technical writing, and sales. These new resources were added to support the on time release of the NT products, their introduction to the marketplace and the anticipated increased level of business in the future. Rent, utilities and telephone expenses decreased $17,562 or 27.3% to $46,752 for the 1999 period from $64,314 for the 1998 period. This decrease is almost entirely associated with decreased long distance telephone rates and an error in recording telephone expense in the fourth quarter of 1998. Travel and entertainment expenses decreased 38.9% to $62,086 for the 1999 period from $101,628 for the 1998 period. During the 1998 period the Company experienced significant travel expenses associated with the opening of the Southeast regional office and the integration of the TAI employees into the Company. As stated above, the Company has trimmed the staffing in the Southeast region during the 1999 period which resulted in lower travel expenses. Professional fees decreased 21.8% to $109,707 for the 1999 period from $140,239 for the 1998 period due to the decrease in consulting expenses for product documentation services, the cost of a financial consultant, and installation of an upgraded financial package. Depreciation expense increased 10.3% to $41,058 for the 1999 period from $37,233 for the 1998 period reflecting the depreciation associated with the upgrades of the Company's computer equipment. Other operating expenses decreased 16.8% to $153,572 for the 1999 period from $184,662 for the 1998 period. These decreases reflect reduced spending in several areas including the expenses associated with the COPSMore 98 grant seminars and the costs resulting from the introduction of a new corporate logo in 1998. Net interest expense was $123,232 for the 1999 period compared to $59,862 for the 1998 period. This increase reflects the accrued interest associated with the convertible promissory note funding acquired late in 1998 and in the first half of 1999, the interest associated with the receivable financing agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and increased usage of working capital loan commitments from directors. The net loss for the 1999 period was $(1,075,045) or $(.37) per share compared to a net loss of $(901,361) or $(.36) per share for the 1998 period. The loss for the period can be attributed to the significant spending on research and development and the spending associated with the commitment to build the Company's infrastructure to meet anticipated future business. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working capital deficit deteriorated to $(1,644,706) at June 30, 1999 from a deficit of $(1,360,973) at December 31, 1998 due to the reduced sales and the current level of research and development spending. In addition, the deficit at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 reflects the reclassification of the mortgage note on the Company's headquarters building to current liabilities because the mortgage note was not renewed on schedule in October 1998. However, on August 6, 1999, the Company sold the building for $1,150,000 and entered into a 7-year leaseback agreement with the buyer. The sale of the headquarters building generated cash of $533,123 after repayment of the first and second mortgages and all expenses. The triple net lease on the building is at $13.46 per gross square foot of the building (12,984 square feet) or $174,764.64 per year. The lease includes a provision for the second through seventh years for rent increases based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) Boston, Mass not to exceed a cap of three percent compounded per annum from the base rent. During the first three years of the lease, the base rent will be reduced by $1,567 per month or $18,804 per year. During the first six months of 1999, the Company secured $760,000 of additional financing in the form of long-term convertible debt, converted $600,000 of long-term convertible debt to equity, increased and extended a short-term $250,000 vendor line of credit to a two-year $350,000 convertible promissory note, and received $300,000 in loan commitments from directors. 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 at conversion prices ranging from $1.45 to $2.75 or repayment of principal and accrued interest by the Company, and has 100% warrant coverage attached that allows for the purchase of additional shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50. Cash decreased to $20,498 at June 30, 1999 from $54,817 at December 31, 1998. Accounts receivable increased to $465,405 at June 30, 1999 from $418,229 at December 31, 1998. Although the Company believes that it has the resources necessary to fund the completion of the NT development program, working capital to fund future growth remains a focus and concern of management. The funding received in the first half of 1999 coupled with the proceeds from the sale of the headquarters building subsequent to the end of the period ensures that the Company will complete the major portions of the development in the third quarter of 1999. The Company believes that sales of the current products and the newly released NT product suite, unused lines of credit from directors, the funds from the sale of the building, and the private placement funding already received will support continued operations through the end of the year. Backlog at August 12, 1999 was $604,000. 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 June 30, 1999, the Company had accumulated approximately $7,400,000 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 approximately $4,400,000 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.

(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.

(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 West Country Partners (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 May 10, 1999, and prior to 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on May 9, 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.

This Promissory Note is issued by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company and Payee (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement. This Promissory Note is hereinafter referred to as this "Note." 1. Principal and Maturity Date. The principal amount of this Note outstanding together with all accrued interest hereon shall be due and payable on May 13, 2001 (the "Maturity Date"). 2. Interest. The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall accrue interest at the per annum rate of eleven percent (11.0%) through the earlier of the date of repayment or conversion (in each case computed on the basis of a 365 day year and actual days elapsed). 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. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice from the Company to the Payee, at any time or from time to time.

Prepayment, in whole or in part, shall be noted in the accounting records of the Company. 4. General Payment Provisions. 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 BSI SA (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 May 14, 1999, and prior to 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on May 13, 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.
