                          COYOTE NETWORK SYSTEMS, INC.

                                     WARRANT

                               Dated: May 27, 1999


      Coyote Network  Systems,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),
hereby  certifies  that, for value received,  JNC Opportunity  Fund Ltd., or its
registered  assigns  ("Holder"),  is  entitled,  subject  to the terms set forth
below,  to purchase  from the Company up to a total of 325,000  shares of Common
Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such
share,  a "Warrant  Share" and all such  shares,  the  "Warrant  Shares")  at an
exercise  price  equal to $6.00  per  share  (as  adjusted  from time to time as
provided in Section 8, the "Exercise Price"),  at any time and from time to time
from and after the date hereof and through and including the earlier of the date
this  Warrant is  redeemed  pursuant to Section  3(d) or December  30, 2000 (the
"Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions:

1.   Registration  of Warrant.  The Company shall  register  this Warrant,  upon
     records to be  maintained  by the Company for that  purpose  (the  "Warrant
     Register"),  in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
     Company  may deem and treat the  registered  Holder of this  Warrant as the
     absolute  owner  hereof  for the  purpose  of any  exercise  hereof  or any
     distribution  to the Holder,  and for all other  purposes,  and the Company
     shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

2.   Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

     (a)  This Warrant may not be offered or sold except in accordance  with the
          legend on the first page  hereof and subject to  compliance  with such
          legend. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this
          Warrant in the Warrant Register,  upon surrender of this Warrant, with
          the Form of Assignment  attached hereto duly completed and signed,  to
          the  Transfer  Agent or to the Company at the office  specified  in or
          pursuant to Section 3(b). Upon any such  registration  or transfer,  a
          new warrant to purchase  Common Stock,  in  substantially  the form of
          this Warrant (any such new warrant,  a "New Warrant"),  evidencing the
          portion  of  this  Warrant  so  transferred  shall  be  issued  to the
          transferee and a New Warrant  evidencing the remaining portion of this
          Warrant  not  so   transferred,   if  any,  shall  be  issued  to  the
          transferring  Holder.  The  acceptance  of  the  New  Warrant  by  the
          transferee  thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such  transferee
          of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

     (b)  This Warrant is exchangeable,  upon the surrender hereof by the Holder
          to the office of the Company  specified in or pursuant to Section 3(b)
          for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to
          purchase  the number of  Warrant  Shares  which may then be  purchased
          hereunder.  Any  such  New  Warrant  will be  dated  the  date of such
          exchange.

3.   Duration and Exercise of Warrants; Redemption.

     (a)  This Warrant  shall be  exercisable  by the  registered  Holder on any
          business day before 5:30 P.M., Eastern time, at any time and from time
          to time on or after the date hereof to and  including  the  Expiration
          Date. At 5:30 P.M.,  Eastern time on the Expiration  Date, the portion
          of this Warrant not  exercised  prior thereto shall be and become void
          and of no value.  Prior to the  Expiration  Date,  the Company may not
          call or  otherwise  redeem  this  Warrant  without  the prior  written
          consent of the Holder, except as provided in Section 3(d).

     (b)  Subject to Sections  2(b), 6 and 9, upon  surrender  of this  Warrant,
          with the Form of Election to Purchase  attached  hereto duly completed
          and  signed,  to the  Company at its  address  for notice set forth in
          Section 11 and upon payment of the Exercise  Price  multiplied  by the
          number  of  Warrant   Shares  that  the  Holder  intends  to  purchase
          hereunder, in lawful money of the United States of America, in cash or
          by certified or official bank check or checks, all as specified by the
          Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly


                                       2
<PAGE>

          (but  in no  event  later  than 3  business  days  after  the  Date of
          Exercise)  issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or
          upon the written  order of the Holder and in such name or names as the
          Holder may designate,  a certificate  for the Warrant Shares  issuable
          upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends other than as required
          by  applicable  law. Any person so designated by the Holder to receive
          Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such
          Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.

          A "Date of  Exercise"  means the date on which the Company  shall have
          received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant,  as  applicable),  with
          the Form of Election to Purchase  attached hereto (or attached to such
          New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment
          of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by
          the holder hereof to be purchased.

     (c)  This  Warrant  shall be  exercisable,  either in its entirety or, from
          time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant  Shares.  If less
          than all of the  Warrant  Shares  which may be  purchased  under  this
          Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to
          be issued,  at its  expense,  a New  Warrant  evidencing  the right to
          purchase the remaining  number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise
          has been evidenced by this Warrant.

     (d)  The  Company  may,  at its  option,  redeem all or any portion of this
          Warrant  at a call  price  of  $.01  per  Warrant  Share  (such  price
          hereinafter  referred  to as the  "Redemption  Price"),  at  any  time
          provided that the Warrant  Shares are then  registered and may be sold
          at all times  during the five  trading  day and 15 trading  day period
          referred to below pursuant to an effective  Registration  Statement or
          would be freely  tradeable  under  Rule 144 and the price per share of
          the Common  Stock,  as  reported by NASDAQ or the  principal  place of
          trading  for such  Common  Stock,  shall  have  continuously  exceeded
          $15.00,  as adjusted  pursuant to Section 8 as if it were the Exercise
          Price, for any 10 consecutive trading days after the date hereof.

          Notice of any  redemption  shall be given to  Holder(s) by the Company
          not less than five  trading  days and not more  than 15  trading  days
          prior to the date  established for such  redemption  (the  "Redemption
          Date").  Each such notice of  redemption  will specify the  Redemption
          Date and that  payment  of the  Redemption  Price  will be made by the
          Company upon  presentation  and surrender of the Warrant  Certificates
          representing such Warrants to the Company at its office, and will also
          state that the right to exercise  the Warrant  will  terminate at 5:00
          P.M.,  New York City time, on the business day  immediately  preceding
          the Redemption Date.

4.   Piggyback Registration Rights. During the term of this Warrant, the Company
     may not file any  registration  statement  with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission (other than registration statements of the Company filed on Form
     S-8 or Form S-4, each as  promulgated  under the Securities Act of 1933, as
     amended  (the  "Securities   Act"),   pursuant  to  which  the  Company  is
     registering  securities  pursuant  to a Company  employee  benefit  plan or


                                       3
<PAGE>

     pursuant  to  a  merger,   acquisition  or  similar  transaction  including
     supplements thereto, but not additionally filed registration  statements in
     respect  of such  securities)  at any time when  there is not an  effective
     registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming
     the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder, unless the Company provides
     the Holder with not less than 20 days notice of its  intention to file such
     registration statement and provides the Holder the option to include any or
     all of the applicable  Warrant Shares therein.  The piggyback  registration
     rights granted to the Holder  pursuant to this Section shall continue until
     all of the Holder's  Warrant  Shares have been sold in  accordance  with an
     effective  registration  statement or upon the Expiration Date. The Company
     will pay all registration  expenses in connection  therewith.  In addition,
     the Holder  shall be  entitled  to the same  registration  rights as to the
     Warrant  Shares as the  purchasers  of shares of Common  Stock in a private
     placement  completed  in May 1999 have as to such  shares  of Common  Stock
     pursuant to their Subscription Agreement.

5.   Payment  of  Taxes.  The  Company  will  pay all  documentary  stamp  taxes
     attributable  to the  issuance of Warrant  Shares upon the exercise of this
     Warrant;  provided,  however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
     any tax which may be payable in respect  of any  transfer  involved  in the
     registration of any  certificates  for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name
     other than that of the  Holder,  and the  Company  shall not be required to
     issue  or cause to be  issued  or  deliver  or  cause to be  delivered  the
     certificates  for  Warrant  Shares  unless or until the  person or  persons
     requesting  the issuance  thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount
     of such tax or shall have  established to the  satisfaction  of the Company
     that such tax has been paid. The Holder shall be responsible  for all other
     tax liability  that may arise as a result of holding or  transferring  this
     Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

6.   Replacement  of Warrant.  If this  Warrant is  mutilated,  lost,  stolen or
     destroyed,  the Company  shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange  and
     substitution  for  and  upon  cancellation   hereof,  or  in  lieu  of  and
     substitution  for this  Warrant,  a New  Warrant,  but only upon receipt of
     evidence  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Company of such loss,  theft or
     destruction and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for
     a New Warrant  under such  circumstances  shall also comply with such other
     reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable charges
     as the Company may prescribe.

7.   Reservation of Warrant  Shares.  The Company  covenants that it will at all
     times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
     unissued  Common  Stock,  solely for the  purpose of  enabling  it to issue
     Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number
     of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise
     of this entire  Warrant,  free from  preemptive  rights or any other actual
     contingent  purchase  rights of persons other than the Holder  (taking into
     account  the  adjustments  and  restrictions  of Section  8).  The  Company
     covenants that all Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable
     shall,  upon issuance and the payment of the  applicable  Exercise Price in
     accordance with the terms hereof,  be duly and validly  authorized,  issued
     and fully paid and nonassessable.

                                       4

8.   Certain  Adjustments.  The  Exercise  Price and  number of  Warrant  Shares
     issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment  from time
     to time as set forth in this  Section 8. Upon each such  adjustment  of the
     Exercise  Price  pursuant to this  Section 8, the Holder  shall  thereafter
     prior to the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price
     resulting from such  adjustment,  the number of Warrant Shares  obtained by
     multiplying  the  Exercise  Price  in  effect  immediately  prior  to  such
     adjustment by the number of Warrant  Shares  issuable upon exercise of this
     Warrant  immediately  prior to such  adjustment  and  dividing  the product
     thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

     (a)  If the Company,  at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,  shall
          (i)  pay  a  stock  dividend  (except  scheduled   dividends  paid  on
          outstanding  preferred  stock as of the date  hereof  which  contain a
          stated divided rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions
          on shares of its Common Stock (as defined below) or on any other class
          of capital stock and not the Common Stock) payable in shares of Common
          Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
          number of shares, or (iii) combine  outstanding shares of Common Stock
          into  a  smaller  number  of  shares,  the  Exercise  Price  shall  be
          multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
          shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
          before such event and of which the denominator  shall be the number of
          shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
          after such event.  Any adjustment  made pursuant to this Section shall
          become   effective   immediately   after  the  record   date  for  the
          determination  of  stockholders  entitled to receive such  dividend or
          distribution  and  shall  become  effective   immediately   after  the
          effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination,  and shall
          apply to successive subdivisions and combinations.

     (b)  In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation
          or merger of the  Company  with or into  another  person,  the sale or
          transfer of all or  substantially  all of the assets of the Company or
          any compulsory  share  exchange  pursuant to which the Common Stock is
          converted  into other  securities,  cash or property,  then the Holder
          shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the
          shares of stock and other  securities and property  receivable upon or
          deemed  to  be  held  by  holders  of  Common  Stock   following  such
          reclassification,  consolidation,  merger,  sale,  transfer  or  share
          exchange,  and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive
          such amount of securities  or property  equal to the amount of Warrant
          Shares  such  Holder  would  have  been  entitled  to had such  Holder
          exercised  this Warrant  immediately  prior to such  reclassification,
          consolidation,  merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. The terms of
          any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall
          include  such terms so as to  continue to give to the Holder the right


                                       5
<PAGE>

          to receive the  securities  or property set forth in this Section 8(b)
          upon any exercise following any such reclassification,  consolidation,
          merger, sale, transfer or share exchange.

     (c)  If the Company,  at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,  shall
          distribute  to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders of this
          Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants
          to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to
          in Sections  8(a),  (b) and (d)),  then in each such case the Exercise
          Price shall be determined by multiplying  the Exercise Price in effect
          immediately  prior to the  record  date  fixed  for  determination  of
          stockholders  entitled to receive such  distribution  by a fraction of
          which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price determined as of the
          record date mentioned  above, and of which the numerator shall be such
          Exercise  Price on such record date less the then fair market value at
          such  record  date  of the  portion  of such  assets  or  evidence  of
          indebtedness  so distributed  applicable to one  outstanding  share of
          Common Stock as  determined  by the  Company's  independent  certified
          public accountants that regularly examines the financial statements of
          the Company (an "Appraiser").

     (d)  If, at any time while this Warrant is  outstanding,  the Company shall
          issue or cause to be issued rights or warrants to acquire or otherwise
          sell or  distribute  shares of Common  Stock to all  holders of Common
          Stock for a consideration  per share less than the Exercise Price then
          in effect, then, forthwith upon such issue or sale, the Exercise Price
          shall  be  reduced  to the  price  (calculated  to the  nearest  cent)
          determined by  multiplying  the Exercise  Price in effect  immediately
          prior  thereto by a fraction,  the numerator of which shall be the sum
          of (i) the number of shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  immediately
          prior to such issuance,  and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
          which  the  aggregate  consideration  received  (or  to  be  received,
          assuming  exercise or conversion in full of such rights,  warrants and
          convertible  securities) for the issuance of such additional shares of
          Common Stock would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator
          of which  shall be the sum of the  number of  shares  of Common  Stock
          outstanding  immediately after the issuance of such additional shares.
          Such adjustment shall be made  successively  whenever such an issuance
          is made.

     (e)  For the purposes of this Section 8, the  following  clauses shall also
          be applicable:

          (i)  Record  Date.  In case the  Company  shall  take a record  of the
               holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A)
               to receive a  dividend  or other  distribution  payable in Common
               Stock or in securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of
               Common Stock, or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or
               securities  convertible  or  exchangeable  into  shares of Common
               Stock,  then such  record  date shall be deemed to be the date of
               the issue or sale of the  shares of Common  Stock  deemed to have


                                       6
<PAGE>

               been issued or sold upon the  declaration of such dividend or the
               making of such other  distribution or the date of the granting of
               such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

          (ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
               at any given time shall not  include  shares  owned or held by or
               for the account of the Company,  and the  disposition of any such
               shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

     (f)  All  calculations  under this  Section 8 shall be made to the  nearest
          cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

     (g)  Whenever  the  Exercise  Price is adjusted  pursuant  to Section  8(c)
          above,  the  Holder,   after  receipt  of  the  determination  by  the
          Appraiser,  shall  have the right to select  an  additional  appraiser
          (which shall be a nationally  recognized  accounting  firm),  in which
          case the adjustment  shall be equal to the average of the  adjustments
          recommended  by each of the Appraiser and such  appraiser.  The Holder
          shall  promptly  mail or cause to be mailed to the  Company,  a notice
          setting  forth the Exercise  Price after such  adjustment  and setting
          forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such  adjustment.  Such
          adjustment  shall become effective  immediately  after the record date
          mentioned above.

     (h)  If:

          (i)  the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other  distribution)
               on its Common Stock; or

          (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on
               or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

          (iii)the Company  shall  authorize  the granting to all holders of the
               Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe  for or purchase any
               shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or

          (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required
               in connection  with any  reclassification  of the Common Stock of
               the Company,  any consolidation or merger to which the Company is
               a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially  all of the
               assets of the Company,  or any compulsory  share exchange whereby
               the Common  Stock is  converted  into other  securities,  cash or
               property; or

          (v)  the  Company   shall   authorize   the   voluntary   dissolution,
               liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,

                                       7
<PAGE>

then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register,  at least 30 calendar days prior
to the  applicable  record or effective  date  hereinafter  specified,  a notice
stating  (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the  purpose  of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken,  the date as of which  the  holders  of  Common  Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions,  redemption, rights or warrants are to
be  determined  or (y) the date on which such  reclassification,  consolidation,
merger,  sale,  transfer or share  exchange is expected to become  effective  or
close,  and the date as of which it is expected  that holders of Common Stock of
record  shall  be  entitled  to  exchange  their  shares  of  Common  Stock  for
securities,  cash or other  property  deliverable  upon  such  reclassification,
consolidation,  merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up;  provided,  however,  that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect  therein or in the mailing  thereof  shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

9.   Payment of Exercise Price.  The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of
     the following manners:

     (a)  Cash Exercise.  The Holder shall deliver immediately  available funds;
          or

     (b)  Cashless  Exercise.  The Holder  shall  surrender  this Warrant to the
          Company  together with a notice of cashless  exercise,  in which event
          the  Company  shall  issue to the Holder the number of Warrant  Shares
          determined as follows:

                    X = Y (A-B)/A

          where:

                    X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

                    Y = the number of Warrant  Shares with respect to which this
                    Warrant is being exercised.

                    A = the  average of the  closing  sale  prices of the Common
                    Stock for the five (5)  trading  days  immediately  prior to
                    (but not including) the Date of Exercise.

                    B = the Exercise Price.


For purposes of Rule 144  promulgated  under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood  and  acknowledged  that the  Warrant  Shares  issued  in a  cashless
exercise  transaction  shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder,  and
the  holding  period  for the  Warrant  Shares  shall  be  deemed  to have  been
commenced, on the issue date.

10.  Fractional  Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to
     be issued  fractional  Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.  The
     number of full Warrant  Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of
     this  Warrant  shall be  computed on the basis of the  aggregate  number of


                                       8
<PAGE>

     Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any
     fraction  of a Warrant  Share  would,  except  for the  provisions  of this
     Section 10, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant,  the Company shall
     pay an  amount  in cash  equal to the  Exercise  Price  multiplied  by such
     fraction.

11.  Notices.  Any  and  all  notices  or  other  communications  or  deliveries
     hereunder  shall be in writing and shall be deemed  given and  effective on
     the  earliest  of  (i)  the  date  of  transmission,   if  such  notice  or
     communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile  telephone number
     specified  in this  Section  prior to 4:30 p.m.  (New York City  time) on a

     notice  or  communication  is  delivered  via  facsimile  at the  facsimile
     telephone  number  specified in this Section later than 4:30 p.m. (New York
     City time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m.  (New York City time) on
     such date, (iii) the business day following the date of mailing, if sent by
     nationally  recognized  overnight  courier  service,  or (iv)  upon  actual
     receipt  by the party to whom  such  notice is  required  to be given.  The
     addresses for such communications  shall be: (i) if to the Company, to 4360
     Park Terrace Drive, Westlake Village, CA 91361, Attention:  Chief Financial
     Officer,  or to facsimile no. (818) 735-7633,  or (ii) if to the Holder, to
     the Holder at the  address or  facsimile  number  appearing  on the Warrant
     Register  or such  other  address  or  facsimile  number as the  Holder may
     provide to the Company in accordance with this Section 11.

12.  Warrant Agent.

     (a)  The Company  shall serve as warrant  agent  under this  Warrant.  Upon
          thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder,  the Company may appoint a new
          warrant agent.

     (b)  Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be
          merged or any corporation  resulting from any  consolidation  to which
          the  Company  or  any  new  warrant  agent  shall  be a  party  or any
          corporation  to which the Company or any new warrant  agent  transfers
          substantially  all of its  corporate  trust or  shareholders  services
          business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without
          any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause
          notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class
          mail,  postage  prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last address as
          shown on the Warrant Register.
