CONSYGEN, INC.
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, _____________________
(together with any subsequent transferees of all or any portion of this Warrant,
the "Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth, to subscribe for and purchase from CONSYGEN, INC., a
Texas corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), at the price hereinafter
set forth in Section 2, up to __________________________ (________) fully paid
and non-assessable shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $.003
par value per share (the "Common Stock").
1. Definitions. As used herein the following term shall have the
following meaning:
"Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a successor
statute thereto and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission issued under that Act, as they each may, from time to time, be in
effect.
2. Purchase Rights. Subject to this Section 2, the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant shall be exercisable by the Holder in whole or in
part commencing one (1) year from the date hereof.
Subject to the terms hereof, the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant shall expire two (2) years from the date hereof.
Subject to this Section 2, this Warrant may be exercised for Shares at
a price of five dollars ($5.00) per share, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 6 (the "Warrant Purchase Price").
This Warrant may be redeemed by the Company upon 60 days written notice
to the Holder hereof at a price equal to the product of the number of Shares
issuable hereunder and the par value of the Shares ($.003). The Company may
exercise its redemption right by delivering or mailing to the Holder written
notice of redemption to the address according to the Company's records. Within
60 days after the date of the Company's notice of redemption hereunder, the
Holder shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or
certificates representing this Warrant, all in form suitable for transfer of
this Warrant to the Company, together with such documents as the Company may
reasonably require to effectuate such transfer. Upon its receipt of such
certificate(s), the Company shall deliver or mail to the Holder a check in the
amount of the redemption price determined in accordance herewith. After the time
at which the certificate(s) is required to be delivered to the Company for
transfer to the Company hereunder, the Holder shall have no rights hereunder,
including without limitation the right to exercise the purchase rights evidenced
by this Warrant. In the event that the Company elects to exercise its redemption
right hereunder, it may do so by canceling the certificate(s) evidencing this
Warrant and depositing the redemption price determined hereunder in a bank
account for the benefit of the Holder, whereupon this Warrant shall be, for all
purposes, canceled and neither the Holder nor any transferee shall have any
rights hereunder. In addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which it
may have, the Company may enforce its rights by actions for specific performance
(to the extent permitted by law).
3. Exercise of Warrant. Subject to Section 2 above, the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part and from time
to time, by the surrender of this Warrant and the duly executed Notice of
Exercise (the form of which is attached as Exhibit A) at the principal office of
the Company and by the payment to the Company, by check, of an amount equal to
the then applicable Warrant Purchase Price per share multiplied by the number of
Shares then being purchased. Upon exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to
receive, within a reasonable time, a certificate or certificates, issued in the
Holder's name or in such name or names as the Holder may direct, for the number
of Shares so purchased. The Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued as
of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
exercised.
4. Shares to be Issued; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants
that the Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance herewith, be fully
paid and non-assessable, and free from all liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof. During the period within which the purchase rights represented by
the Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved, for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock
to provide for the exercise of the right represented by this Warrant.
5. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant. In lieu thereof, a cash payment shall be made equal to
such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of such shares of Common
Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
6. Adjustments of Warrant Purchase Price and Number of Shares. If there
shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company through merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or
other change in the corporate structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments
shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company (or if the Company is not
the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the Board of Directors of the
surviving corporation) in the aggregate number and kind of shares
-2-
subject to this Warrant, and the number and kind of shares and the price per
share then applicable to shares covered by the unexercised portion of this
Warrant.
7. No Rights as Shareholders. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder
to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to
exercise of this Warrant and the payment for the Shares so purchased.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees to transmit to the Holder such
information, documents and reports as are generally distributed to holders of
the capital stock of the Company concurrently with the distribution thereof to
the shareholders. Upon valid exercise of this Warrant and payment for the Shares
so purchased in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, the Holder or the
Holder's designee, as the case may be, shall be deemed a shareholder of the
Company.
8. Sale or Transfer of the Warrant and the Shares; Legend. The Warrant
and the Shares shall not be sold or transferred unless either (i) they first
shall have been registered under applicable State Securities laws, or (ii) such
sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws. Each
certificate representing any Warrant shall bear the legend set out on page 1
hereof. Each certificate representing any Shares shall bear a legend
substantially in the following form, as appropriate:
9. THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND

SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT RELATED THERETO UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO
AN EXEMPTION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
10. Such Warrant and Shares may be subject to additional restrictions
on transfer imposed under applicable state and federal securities law.
11. Modifications and Waivers. This Warrant may not be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which enforcement of the same is sought.

permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder or the Company shall be

Warrant, or, if different, at the principal office of the Company.
13. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants with the Holder that upon its receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant or any stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft
or destruction, of an indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and
upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto,
and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant or stock certificate, if
mutilated, the Company will

make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of
the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate.
14. Representations and Warranties of Holder. By accepting this
Warrant, the Holder represents and warrants that he, she or it is acquiring this
