SmartServ Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies
that, for value received, Global Capital Funding Group, L.P. or assigns
("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof and prior to
the third anniversary hereof (the "Exercise Period"), at the Purchase Price
hereinafter set forth, Two Hundred Thousand (200,000) shares of the fully paid

Stock and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.
The purchase price per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant (the "Purchase Price") shall initially be $1.611, provided,
however, that the Purchase Price shall be adjusted from time to time as provided
herein.
(a) Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement. As used
herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, have the
following respective meanings:
(a) The term "Company" shall include SmartServ Online, Inc. and any
corporation that shall succeed or assume the obligations of such
corporation hereunder.
(b) The term "Common Stock" includes (a) the Company's common stock,
$0.01 par value per share, (b) any other capital stock of any class or
classes (however designated) of the Company, authorized on or after such
date, the holders of which shall have the right, without limitation as to
amount, either to all or to a share of the balance of current dividends and
liquidating dividends after the payment of dividends and distributions on
any shares entitled to preference, and the holders of which shall
ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, be entitled to vote for the
election of a majority of directors of the Company (even though the right
so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency) and
(c) any other securities into which or for which any of the securities
described in (a) or (b) may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.
(c) The term "Other Securities" refers to any stock (other than Common
Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate
or otherwise) that the Holder of this Warrant at any time shall be entitled
to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of this Warrant, in
lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or that at any time shall be
issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of
Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 Method of Exercise.
------------------
(a) This warrant may be exercised in whole or in part (but not as to a
fractional share of Common Stock), at any time and from time to time during
the Exercise Period by the Holder hereof by delivery of a notice of
exercise (a "Notice of Exercise") substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A via --------- facsimile to the Company. Promptly thereafter
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company at its principal
office, accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being exercised
(the "Exercise Price"). Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made, at the
option of the Holder, (i) by check or bank draft payable to the order of
the Company, or (ii) by wire transfer to the account of the Company. Upon
exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, promptly after payment
in full, one or more certificates, issued in the Holder's name or in such
name or names as the Holder may direct, subject to the limitations on
transfer contained herein, for the number of shares of Common Stock so
purchased. The shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be deemed to be
issued as of the close of business on the date on which the Company shall
have received from the Holder payment in full of the Exercise Price (the
"Exercise Date").
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon
exercise of all or a portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company. Rather, records showing the amount so exercised and
the date of exercise shall be maintained on a ledger substantially in the
form of Annex B attached hereto (a copy of which shall be delivered to the
Company or transfer agent with each Notice of Exercise). It is specifically
contemplated that the Holder hereof shall act as the calculation agent for
all exercises of this Warrant. In the event of any dispute or
discrepancies, such records maintained by the Holders shall be controlling
and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following an exercise of a
portion of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock represented
by this Warrant will be the amount indicated on Annex B attached hereto
(which may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof).
2.2 Regulation D Restrictions. The Holder hereof represents and warrants to
the Company that it has acquired this Warrant and anticipates acquiring the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant solely for its own
account for investment purposes and not with a view to or for resale of such
securities unless such resale has been registered with the Commission or an
applicable exemption is available therefore. At the time this Warrant is
exercised, the Company may require the Holder to state in the Notice of Exercise
such representations concerning the Holder as are necessary or appropriate to
assure compliance by the Holder with the Securities Act.
2.3 Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise
of this Warrant, upon request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its
continuing obligation to afford to such Holder the registration rights to which
such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with
the provisions of a Registration Rights Agreement dated the date hereof (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"). If the Holder shall fail to make any such
request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company
to afford such Holder any such rights.
2.4 Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding the rights of the Holder to
exercise all or a portion of this Warrant as described herein, such exercise
rights shall be limited, solely to the extent set forth in the Purchase
Agreement as if such provisions were specifically set forth herein. In addition,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is
subject to reduction as specified in Section 10.3 of the Purchase Agreement.
3. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within three (3) business
days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any
applicable issue, stamp or transfer taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the Holder thereof, or, to the extent permissible hereunder,
to such other person as such Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates
for the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in
lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled,
cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then applicable Purchase Price,
together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash,
where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant
to Section 2 or otherwise.
4. Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. The Purchase Price to be paid by the
Holder upon exercise of this Warrant, and the consideration to be received upon
exercise of this Warrant, shall be adjusted in case at any time or from time to
time pursuant to Article XI of the Purchase Agreement as if such provisions were
specifically set forth herein.
5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a)
will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable on the
exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (b)
will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and unassessable shares of
stock on the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) will not transfer all or
substantially all of its properties and assets to any other person (corporate or
otherwise), or consolidate with or merge into any other person or permit any
such person to consolidate with or merge into the Company (if the Company is not
the surviving person), unless such other person shall expressly assume in
writing and will be bound by all the terms of this Warrant.
6. Accountant's Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause
independent certified public accountants of national standing selected by the
Company to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms
of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received
or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number
of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be
outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to
such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted as provided in this Warrant.
The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of
this Warrant, and will, on the written request at any time of the Holder of this
Warrant, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth the Purchase
Price at the time in effect and showing how it was calculated.
7. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
or securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all
or substantially all the assets of the Company to or consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into any other person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-
up of the Company,
then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record
is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and
stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, and
(ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for then and in each such event the
Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant a notice
specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount of character of
such dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time,
if any, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20
days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any action is to be
taken.
8. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will
at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the
exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from
time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
9. Exchange of Warrant.
(a) On surrender for exchange of this Warrant, properly endorsed and
in compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in the legend on
the face of this Warrant, to the Company, the Company at its expense will
issue and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof a new Warrant of
like tenor, in the name of such Holder or as such Holder (on payment by
such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the
aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common
Stock called for on the face of the Warrant so surrendered.
(b) Upon written notice from the Purchasers that the Purchasers have
elected to transfer amongst each other a portion of this Warrant, and on
surrender for amendment and restatement of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof a
new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of such Holder as the Purchasers (on
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct,
calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of
shares of Common Stock as set forth in such notice reflecting such
transfer.

the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and,
in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery
of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount
to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
