THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
XYBERNAUT CORPORATION
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
1. Issuance. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt
of which is hereby acknowledged by Xybernaut Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), Archway Holdings Limited, or its registered assigns (the
"Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time until 5:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on September 29, 2005 (the "Expiration Date"), One Hundred
Nineteen Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty (119,880) shares of the Company's Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") at an initial exercise
price of $6.25 per share (the "Exercise Price"), subject to further adjustment
as set forth in Section 6 hereof.
2. Exercise of Warrants. (a) This Warrant is exercisable in
whole or in part at the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock payable
hereunder, payable in cash or by certified or official bank check. Upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the annexed Notice of Exercise Form
duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of
Common Stock purchased, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or
certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased.
(b) The Warrants shall be callable by the Company if
the market price of the Common Stock exceeds $10.00 for any ten (10) trading
days during a fifteen (15) trading day period.
3. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at
all times during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall
be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares").
4. Mutilation or Loss of Warrant. 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) receipt of
reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver
a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

5. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue
hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law
or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this
Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set
forth herein.
6. Protection Against Dilution.
(a) Adjustment Mechanism. If an adjustment of the
Exercise Price is required pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder shall be
entitled to purchase such number of additional shares of Common Stock as will
cause (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled to
purchase pursuant to this Warrant, multiplied by (ii) the adjusted purchase
price per share, to equal (iii) the dollar amount of the total number of shares
of Common Stock Holder is entitled to purchase before adjustment multiplied by
the total purchase price before adjustment.
(b) Capital Adjustments. In case of any stock split
or reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock,
recapitalization, merger or consolidation, or like capital adjustment affecting
the Common Stock of the Company, the provisions of this Section 6 shall be
applied as if such capital adjustment event had occurred immediately prior to
the date of this Warrant and the original purchase price had been fairly
allocated to the stock resulting from such capital adjustment; and in other
respects the provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied in a fair, equitable
and reasonable manner so as to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes
hereof. A rights offering to stockholders of the Company shall be deemed a stock
dividend to the extent of the bargain purchase element of the rights.
7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act; Registration
Rights.
(a) This Warrant has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any applicable state
securities laws, and has been issued to the Holder for investment and not with a
view to the distribution of either the Warrant or the Warrant Shares. Neither
this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold, transferred, pledged or
hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Act
relating to such security or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
that registration is not required under the Act. Each certificate for the
Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and
substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the
restrictions on transfer contained in this Section.
(b) The Company agrees to file a registration
statement, which shall include the Warrant Shares, on Form S-3 or another
available form (the "Registration Statement"), pursuant to the Common Stock
Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Holder dated as of September 29,
2000 (the "Purchase Agreement").
