SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This is to Certify That, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ____________________________

Warrant, from Medical Science Systems, Inc. ("Company"), a Texas corporation, at
any time on or after , 1998, and not later than 3:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on
2002, Shares of Common Stock of the Company ("Securities")
exercisable at a purchase price for the shares of Common Stock which is 135% of
the public offering price of the Common Stock ($ ). The number of Securities to
be received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for the
Securities may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The
purchase price of a share of Common Stock in effect at any time and as adjusted
from time to time is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price."
This Warrant is or may be one of a series of Warrants identical in form issued
by the Company to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Common Stock. The
shares of Common Stock, as adjusted from time to time underlying the Warrants
are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Stock". The Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise hereof are in all respects identical to the Common
Stock being purchased by the Underwriter for resale to the public pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section (g) hereof,
this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at anytime or from time to
time on or after , 1998, but not later than 3:30 p.m., Eastern Time on
, 2002, or if , 2002, is a day on which banking
institutions are authorized by law to close, 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 federal
and state taxes applicable upon such exercise. The Company agrees to provide
notice to the Holder that any tender offer is being made for the Company's
shares of Common Stock no later than the day the Company becomes aware that any
tender offer is being made for the Company's shares of Common Stock. 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
along with any additional Redeemable Warrants not exercised. Upon receipt by the
Company of this Warrant at the office of the Company or at the office of the
Company's stock transfer agent, in proper form for exercise and accompanied by
the total Exercise Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record
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.
(b) Reservation of Securities. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this
Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for
issuance or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants and
agrees that, upon exercise of the
1
2
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock
and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly
issued, fully paid, non-assessable .-and not subject to the preemptive rights of
any stockholder. As long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall
use its best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance)
on all securities exchanges on which the Common Stock issued to the public in
connection herewith may then be listed and/or quoted on NASDAQ.
(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, the
Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the current market value of such fractional share, determined as
follows:
(1) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange, the current value
shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on
the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no
such sale is made on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
for such day on such exchange; or
(2) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges, the current value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and
asked prices reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System (or, if not so quoted on NASDAQ or by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc.) on the last business day prior to the date of the
exercise of this Warrant; or
(3) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current value shall
be an amount, not less than book value, determined in such reasonable manner as
may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company, such determination
to be final and binding on the Holder.
(d) Exchange, Assignment or Loss of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable,
without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender
hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for
other Warrants of different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to
purchase (under the same terms and conditions as provided by this Warrant) in
the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
This Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated until after
one year from the effective date of the registration statement except that it
may be (i) assigned in whole or in part to the officers of the "Underwriter",
and (ii)transferred to any successor to the business of the "Underwriter." Any
such assignment 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 with funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax;
whereupon 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. This Warrant may be divided or combined with
other Warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the
office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which
new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term
"Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrants issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant, or into which this Warrant may be divided or
exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of
loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant
executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on
the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed,
or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
(e) Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

(f) Notices to Warrant Holders. So long as this Warrant shall be
outstanding and unexercised (i) if the Company shall make any stock distribution
upon the Common Stock, or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the holders of
Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any shares of stock of any
class or any other rights, or (iii) 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) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief
description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is
to be taken for 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 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 equivalent securities or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(g) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Common Stock
Deliverable.
(A)(i) Except as hereinafter provided, in the event the Company shall, at
any time or from time to time after the date hereof, issue any shares of Common
Stock as a stock dividend to the holders of Common Stock, or subdivide or
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number
of shares (any such issuance, subdivision or combination being herein call a
"Change of Shares"), then, and thereafter upon each further Change of Shares,
the Exercise Price for the Warrants (whether or not the same shall be issued and
outstanding) in effect immediately prior to such Change of Shares shall be
changed to a price (including any applicable fraction of a cent to the nearest
cent) determined by dividing (i) the sum of (a) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Shares, multiplied
by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Change of Shares, and
(b) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance,
subdivision or combination by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such Change of Shares; provided, however, that in
no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this computation to an
amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section (g) the following provisions shall be applicable:
(I) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other
distribution on any capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have
been issued immediately after the opening of business on the day following
the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such dividend or other distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued
without consideration.
(II) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding
shall not be deemed to include the number of shares issuable (subject to
readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the exercise of
options, rights or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
(ii) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section
(g), the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each
Warrant shall be the number derived by multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment by the Exercise
Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by
the applicable adjusted Exercise Price.
(B) In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or
as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation other than a merger with
a "Subsidiary" (which shall mean any corporation or corporations, as the
3
4
case may be, of which capital stock having ordinary power to elect a majority of
the Board of Directors of such corporation (regardless of whether or not at the
time capital stock of any other class or classes of such corporation shall have
or may have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at
the time directly or indirectly owned by the Company or by one or more
Subsidiaries) or by the Company and one or more Subsidiaries in which merger the
Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or
other capital stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change
in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value or as a result of subdivision or combination) or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety
or substantially as an entirety, then, as a condition of such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Company, or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall make lawful and
adequate provision whereby the Holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall
have the right thereafter to receive on exercise of such Warrant the kind and
amount of securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of
securities issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and shall
forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement signed by its
President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or
its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary evidencing such provision. Such
provisions shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section
(g)(A). The above provisions of this Section (g)(B) shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
(C) Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the Exercise Pi ice or
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants,
the Warrant Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued shall, unless the
Company shall exercise its option to issue new Warrant Certificates pursuant
hereto, continue to express the Exercise Price per share and the number of
shares purchasable thereunder as the Exercise Price per share and the number of
shares purchasable thereunder as expressed in the Warrant Certificates when the
same were originally issued.
(D) After each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section
(g), the Company will promptly prepare a certificate signed by the Chairman or
President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary, of the Company setting forth: (i) the Exercise Price as so
adjusted, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of
each Warrant, after such adjustment, and (iii' a brief statement of the facts
accounting for such adjustment. The Company will promptly file such certificate
in the Company's minute books and cause a brief summary thereof to be sent by
ordinary first class mail to each Holder at his last address as it shall appear
on the registry books of the Company. No failure to mail such notice nor any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity thereof
except as to the holder to whom the Company failed to mail such notice, or
except as to the holder whose notice was defective. The affidavit of an officer
or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company that such notice has
been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts
stated therein.
(E) No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made as a result of or in
connection with the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock if the amount of
said adjustment shall be less than $.10, provided, however, that in such case,
any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent
adjustment that shall amount, together with any adjustment so carried forward,
to at least $.10. In addition, Holders shall not be entitled to cash dividends
paid by the Company prior to the exercise of any Warrant or Warrants held by
them.
(F) In the event that the Company shall at any time prior to the exercise
of all Warrants declare a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common Stock
or otherwise distribute to its stockholders any assets, property, rights,
evidences of indebtedness, the Holders of the unexercised Warrants shall
thereafter be entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock or other
securities and property receivable upon the exercise thereof, to receive, upon
the exercise of such Warrants, the same property, assets, rights, evidences of
indebtedness, that they would have been
4
5
entitled to receive at the time of such dividend or distribution as if the
Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such dividend or distribution.
At the time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make
appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this
Section (g).
(h) Piggyback Registration. If, at any time commencing one year from the
date hereof and expiring six (6) years thereafter, the Company proposes to
register any of its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") (other than in connection with a merger or pursuant to Form X-0, X-0 or
other comparable registration statement) it will give written notice by
registered mail, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such
registration statement, to the Underwriter and to all other Holders of the
Warrants and/or the Warrant Stock of its intention to do so. If the Underwriter
or other Holders of the Warrants and/or Warrant Stock notify the Company within
twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice of its or their desire to
include any such securities in such proposed registration statement, the Company
shall afford each of the Underwriter and such Holders of the Warrants and/or
Warrant Stock the opportunity to have any such Warrant Stock registered under
such registration statement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Company shall have the
right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this
Section (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any such
securities shall have been made) to elect not to file any such proposed
registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to
the effective date thereof.
(i) Demand Registration.
(1) At any time commencing one year from the date hereof and expiring four
(4) years thereafter, the Holders of the Representative's Warrants and/or

have the right (which right is in addition to the registration rights under
Section (i) hereof), exercisable by written notice to the Company, to have the
Company prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), on one occasion, a registration statement and such other
documents, including a prospectus, as may be necessary in the opinion of both
counsel for the Company and counsel for the Underwriter and Holders, in order to
comply with the provisions of the Act, so as to permit a public offering and
sale of their respective Warrant Stock for nine (9) consecutive months by such
Holders and any other holders of the Representative's Warrants and/or Warrant
Stock who notify the Company within ten (10) days after receiving notice from
the Company of such request.
(2) The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of any
registration request under this Section (i) by any Holder or Holders to all
other registered Holders of the Representative's Warrants and the Warrant Stock
within ten (10) days from the date of the receipt of any such registration
request.
(3) In addition to the registration rights under this Section (i) at any
time commencing one year after the date hereof and expiring four (4) years
thereafter, the Holders of Representative's Warrants and/or Warrant Stock shall
have the right, exercisable by written request to the Company, to have the
Company prepare and file, on one occasion, with the Commission a registration
statement so as to permit a public offering and sale for nine (9) consecutive
months by such Holders of its Warrant Stock; provided, however, that the
provisions of Section (i)(2) hereof shall not apply to any such registration
request and registration and all costs incident thereto shall be at the expense
of the Holder or Holders making such request.
(4) The Company shall include such Underwriter's Warrants in the
Registration Statement relating to this offering and shall keep such
Registration Statement current at least until the expiration of such
Underwriter's Warrants or shall bear all of the costs of a new registration
statement in the event the Underwriter"s Warrants are to be exercised. In the
event the Company grants the public investors any benefits upon the exercise of
the Public Redeemable Warrants not set forth in the terms thereof, then the
Underwriter shall be entitled to receive the identical benefits in the event it
elects to exercise any of its Underwriter's Warrant
(j) Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration. In connection
with any registration under Section (h) or (i) hereof, the Company covenants and
agrees as follows:

expenses in connection with all registration statements filed pursuant to
Sections (h), (i) and 0) hereof including, without limitation, the Company's
legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses. If the
Company shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section (j)(i), the Company
shall, in addition to any other equitable or other relief available to the

delay caused by the Company's failure.
(iii) The Company will take all necessary action which may be required in
qualifying or registering the Warrant Stock included in a registration statement
for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as
reasonably are requested by the Holder(s), provided that the Company shall not
be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to
qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such
jurisdiction.

and against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all
expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against
any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the

registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and

Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or expense or
liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become
subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information
furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, for
specific inclusion in such registration statement to the same extent with the
same effect as the provisions contained in Section 7 of the Underwriting
Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriter has agreed to indemnify the Company.
(vi) The Holder(s) shall exercise their Warrants prior to the initial
filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.
(vii) The Company shall not permit the inclusion of any securities other
than the Warrant Stock to be included in any registration statement filed
pursuant to Section (i) hereof, or permit any other registration statement to be
or remain effective during the effectiveness of a registration statement filed

in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of
such accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel
and in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public
offerings of securities.

the registration statement, and in any event within 15 months thereafter, make
"generally available to its security holders" (within the meaning of Rule 158

underwriters, and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants
by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements

underwritten sale of their Warrant Securities and may, at their option, require
