THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received,
_____________________________ (the "Investor"), is entitled, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
December 30, 1998 and on or prior to December 30, 2003 (the "Termination Date")
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from OBJECTSOFT CORPORATION, a
corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware (the "Company"), ____________
____________ (______) shares (the "Warrant Shares") of Common Stock, par value
US $.0001 per share of the Company (the "Common Stock"). The purchase price of
one share of Common Stock (the "Exercise Price") under this Warrant shall be
equal to $____. The Exercise Price and the number of shares for which the
Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. This
Warrant is being issued in connection with the 6% Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock Subscription Agreement dated on or about December 30, 1998 (the
"Agreement"), and is subject to its terms and conditions. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of this Warrant and the Agreement, the Agreement
shall control.
1. Title of Warrant. Prior to the expiration hereof and
subject to compliance with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the
Company by the holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all
shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issue).
3. Exercise of Warrant. Except as provided in Section 4
below, exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made
at any time or times, before the close of business on the Termination Date, or
such earlier date on which this Warrant may terminate as provided in this
Warrant, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise Form
annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the
registered holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of
the Company) and upon payment of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby
purchased; whereupon the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased. Certificates
for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the holder hereof within
three (3) business days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been
exercised as aforesaid. Payment of the Exercise Price of the shares may be by
certified check or cashier's check or by wire transfer to an account designated
by the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number
of Warrant Shares.
4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in
the name of the holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as may be
directed by the holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event
certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than
the name of the holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly
executed by the holder hereof; and provided further, that upon any transfer
involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for shares of Common
Stock, the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

6. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its
shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of
this Warrant for a period of time in excess of five (5) trading days per year.
7. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does
not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a
shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise thereof. Upon the surrender of
this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Warrant Shares
so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such holder as the record
owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of
such surrender or payment.
8. Assignment and Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant may be
assigned by the surrender of this Warrant and the Assignment Form annexed hereto
duly executed at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of
the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered holder
hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company).
9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The
Company represents and warrants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant certificate or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant
Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it, if mutilated, and upon surrender and cancellation
of such Warrant or stock certificate, the Company will make and deliver a new
Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
10. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or
appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right
required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then
such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
day not a legal holiday.
11. Effect of Certain Events. If the Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or different number
of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization,
reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, or similar event, then and in
each such event, the holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to
exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization,
reclassification or other change which such holder would have received had this
Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization,
reclassification or other change. If at any time or from time to time there
shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision,
reclassification or exchange of shares provided in the previous sentence), or a
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and/or assets to
any other person or entity (any of which events is herein referred to as a
"Reorganization"), then as part of such Reorganization, provision shall be made
so that the holders of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant , the number of shares of stock or other securities or
property of the Company, or of the successor corporation (or entity) resulting
from such Reorganization, to which such holder would have been entitled if such
holder had exercised its exercise rights granted hereunder immediately prior to
such Reorganization. In any such case,
-3-
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section with respect to the rights of the holder of this Warrant after the
Reorganization, to the end that the provision of this Section (including
adjustment of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall
be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent manner as may be
practicable.
The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares shall be included
in the Registration Statement to be filed by the Company pursuant to the 6%
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement dated as of December
30, 1998.
12. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant
Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the happening of any of the following.
In case the Company shall (i) declare or pay a dividend in
shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to
holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares
of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issue any shares of its capital
stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall
be adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive the
kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which he
would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been
exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number
of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable
hereunder, the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase
the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment
at an Exercise Price per such Warrant Share or other security obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to
such adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities
of the Company resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to
this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
13. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at
any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce the then current Exercise Price
to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
14. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant
Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided,
the Company shall promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, to the holder of this Warrant notice of such adjustment or
adjustments setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or
property)
-4-
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth
the computation by which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in absence of
manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such
adjustment.
15. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the
period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance
of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall
constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of
executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for
the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure
that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of
any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the NASDAQ Small Cap
Stock Market or any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may
be listed.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) Choice of Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. This Warrant will be
construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State
of New York, except for matters arising under the Act, without reference to
principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction
of the U.S. District Court sitting in the Southern District of the State of New
York or the state courts of the State of New York sitting in Manhattan in
connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection
based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdictions. Each party hereby agrees that if another party to this Warrant
obtains a judgment against it in such a proceeding, the party which obtained
such judgment may enforce same by summary judgment in the courts of any country
having jurisdiction over the party against whom such judgment was obtained, and
each party hereby waives any defenses available to it under local law and agrees
to the enforcement of such a judgment. Each party to this Warrant irrevocably
consents to the service of process in any such proceeding by the mailing of
copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party
at its address set forth herein. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any
party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party waives
its right to a trial by jury.
(b) Restrictions. The holder hereof acknowledges that the
Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered,
will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
Each certificate representing the Warrant Shares issued to the Holder upon
exercise will bear the following legend:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
