This certifies that XXXXX XXXXX ("Xxxxx"), is entitled to purchase
twelve thousand five hundred (12,500) shares (the "Shares") of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of
Applied Voice Recognition, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as e-
XXXX.xxx (the "Company"), at a purchase price per share equal to the lower of
(i) $1.75, or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the thirty
(30) day period immediately preceding the Effective Date of this Warrant. The
Shares may be purchased at any time, in whole or in part, until the expiration
of this Warrant.
The purchase price per share of Common Stock from time to time in
effect under this Warrant, and the number and character of shares covered
hereby, shall be subject to adjustments from time to time in certain instances
as follows, and the term "Exercise Price" shall mean the price per share
originally set forth in this Warrant or any price resulting from adjustments
pursuant to the terms hereof. The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such
exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred
to as "Warrant Stock". The term "Holder" shall refer to Dagan or any person or
entity holding this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions
-------------------
hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part after the date
appearing above the signature of the Company below (the "Effective Date"), but
not later than 5:00 p.m., Houston time, on December 31, 2000; or if such day is
a day on which United States postal offices are closed, then on the next
succeeding day which shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender
hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with
the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such form, together with
all applicable federal and state taxes. If this Warrant should be exercised in
part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation,
execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase
the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of
-1-
this Warrant at the office or agency of the Company, in proper form for exercise
and pursuant to compliance herewith, together with payment of the Exercise
Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record, for all purposes,
of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that
the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that
certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually
delivered to the Holder. Upon receipt of the required deliveries, the Company
shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) days
thereafter, cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder hereof or the
transferee designated in the Purchase Form a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise registered in the name of the Holder hereof, or the name of the
transferee so designated, as the case may be.
(b) No Impairment. The Company hereby agrees that (i) at all times there
-------------
shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such
number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance and
delivery upon exercise of this Warrant, and (ii) it will take all action as may
be necessary in order that all shares of stock as may be issued pursuant to this
Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-
assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issuance thereof.
(c) Fractional Shares. 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, after
payment of the Exercise Price for such fractional share by the Holder, the
Company shall round the number of shares issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant to the next highest full share.
(d) Assignment of Warrant or Warrant Stock or Loss of Warrant.
---------------------------------------------------------
(1) This Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or
hypothecated at any time after its execution and delivery, except upon
compliance with the requirements of this Warrant and any applicable state
or federal securities laws.
(2) Any sale, assignment, transfer or hypothecation of this Warrant
shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office
of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed
hereto duly executed and accompanied with funds sufficient to pay any
transfer tax; whereupon, the Company shall, after first receiving such
evidence as the Company may reasonably require as to compliance with this
Warrant, 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.
(3) The term "Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrant issued in
substitution for or replacement of this Warrant. Upon receipt by the
Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated,
the Company will at its expense execute
-2-
and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. When authorizing the
execution and delivery of a new Warrant to replace a Warrant lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Board of Directors of the Company may, in its sole
discretion and as a condition precedent thereto, require the Holder to
deliver an affidavit in a form satisfactory to the Board of Directors of
the Company and to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made
against the Company with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant.
(e) Anti-Dilution and Adjustment Provisions. The purchase price per share
---------------------------------------
of Common Stock from time to time in effect under this Warrant, and the number
and character of shares covered hereby, shall be subject to adjustments from
time to time in certain instances as follows, and the term "Exercise Price"
shall mean the price per share originally set forth in this Warrant or any price
resulting from adjustments pursuant to the terms hereof.
(1) In case the Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares or shall issue in exchange for
its outstanding shares of Common Stock a greater number of shares of Common
Stock, then in each such case from and after the record date for such
subdivision or exchange, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Exercise Price then in
effect shall be correspondingly decreased; and in the case the Company
shall reduce the number of shares of its Common Stock by a combination of
shares or shall issue in exchange for its outstanding shares of Common
Stock a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case
from and after the record date for such combination or exchange, the number
of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant shall be decreased in
proportion to such reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, and the then prevailing Exercise Price shall be correspondingly
increased.
(2) In case the Company shall declare and pay a dividend upon its
Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then in each such case from and after
the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant
shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock through such stock dividend, and the
then prevailing Exercise Price shall be correspondingly decreased.
(3) In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding shares
of Common Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or
stock dividend) or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into any other corporation (other than a merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change in its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or
in case of any sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its
assets to another corporation, the Holder shall have the right thereafter
to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the amount and kind of shares of
capital stock and other securities and property entitled to be received
upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale
-3-
by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company covered
by this Warrant at the then prevailing Exercise Price, subject to
subsequent adjustments as provided herein.
(f) Notices to Holder. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding and
-----------------
unexercised (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution
upon the Common Stock, or (ii) if any capital reorganization of the Company,
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another
corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Company shall be effected, then, in any such case, the Company shall
cause to be delivered to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date
specified in (x) and at least thirty (30) days prior to the date specified in
(y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of the

the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such
reclassification reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and at least twenty (20)
days prior notice as to the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders
of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding up.
(g) Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act.
------------------------------------------
(1) This Warrant or the Warrant Stock or any other security issued or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be offered or sold except in
conformity with the Securities Act, and then only against receipt of an
agreement of such person to whom such offer of sale is made to comply with
the provisions of this Section (g) with respect to any resale or other
disposition of such securities.
(2) The Company may cause the legends set forth at the top of the
first page hereof to be set forth on each Warrant and the following legends
