▇▇▇▇▇ ONLINE, INC.
THIS CERTIFIES that ___________________________ or any subsequent holder
hereof ("Holder"), has the right to purchase from ▇▇▇▇▇ Online, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), up to ________ fully paid and nonassessable shares
of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"),
subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price
as defined in Section 3 below, at any time beginning on the Date of Issuance
(defined below) and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on January 8,
2006 (the "Exercise Period").
Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common
Stock of ▇▇▇▇▇ Online, Inc. (this "Warrant") is issued and all rights hereunder
shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set
forth herein.
1. DATE OF ISSUANCE.
This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on January 8, 2002 ("Date of
Issuance").
2. EXERCISE.
(a) MANNER OF EXERCISE. During the Exercise Period, this Warrant may be
exercised as to all or any lesser number of full shares of Common Stock covered
hereby upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Exercise Form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT A (the "Exercise Form") duly completed and executed, together with the
full Exercise Price (as defined below) for each share of Common Stock as to
which this Warrant is exercised, at the office of the Company, at the address,
telephone number and fax number set forth on the signature page hereof, or at
such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by
overnight mail, with an advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company
and its Transfer Agent by facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise
Price hereinafter called the "Exercise of this Warrant").
(b) DATE OF EXERCISE. The "Date of Exercise" of the Warrant shall
be defined as the date the exercise price of the warrant and the Exercise
Form have both been received by the Company.
(c) CANCELLATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the
Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise,
Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares
purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not
exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing
terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this
Warrant in addition to such Common Stock.
(d) HOLDER OF RECORD. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares
of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of
record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of
the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this
Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder
any rights as a stockholder of the Company.
3. PAYMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE.
The Exercise Price shall equal $2.875 per share ("Exercise Price").
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made solely in cash, either by bank
or cashiers check or by wire transfer.
4. TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION.
(a) TRANSFER RIGHTS. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole
or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly
completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and,
as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this
Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to
the portion hereof retained.
5. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) STOCK DIVIDEND. If the Company shall at any time declare a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock, then Holder, upon Exercise of this Warrant
after the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive such dividend, shall be entitled to receive upon Exercise of this
Warrant, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this
Warrant is exercised, such additional shares of Common Stock as such Holder
would have received had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such
record date and the Exercise Price will be proportionately adjusted.
(b) RECAPITALIZATION OR RECLASSIFICATION. If the Company shall at any
time effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of
such character
2
that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for
a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the
number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon
Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in
direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common
Stock by reason of such recapitalization, reclassification or similar
transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the
number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the
number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the
same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described
in this Section 5(b).
(c) DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall at any time distribute for no
consideration to holders of Common Stock cash, evidences of indebtedness or
other securities or assets (other than cash dividends or distributions payable
out of earned surplus or net profits for the current or preceding year) then, in
any such case, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon Exercise of this
Warrant, with respect to each share of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
the amount of cash or evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets
which Holder would have been entitled to receive with respect to each such share
of Common Stock as a result of the happening of such event had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the record date or other date fixing shareholders
to be affected by such event (the "Determination Date") or, in lieu thereof, if
the Board of Directors of the Company should so determine at the time of such
distribution, a reduced Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price on the Determination Date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
result of such Exercise Price reduced by the value of such distribution
applicable to one share of Common Stock (such value to be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company in its discretion) and the denominator of
which is such Exercise Price.
(d) NOTICE OF CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. In the event of a merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other
similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes
of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or there
is a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets (a "Corporate
Change"), then this Warrant shall be exercisable into such class and type of
securities or other assets as Holder would have received had Holder exercised
this Warrant immediately prior to such Corporate Change; provided, however, that
Company may not affect any Corporate Change unless it first shall have given
thirty (30) days notice to Holder hereof of any Corporate Change.
(e) EXERCISE PRICE ADJUSTED. As used in this Warrant, the term "Exercise
Price" shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3 of this
Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in subsection (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section 5, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to
time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment
under this Section 5 shall be made unless such adjustment would change the
Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more; provided, however, that all
adjustments not so made shall be deferred and made when the aggregate thereof
would change the Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more. No adjustment made
pursuant to any provision of this Section
3
5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price. The number of
shares of Common Stock subject hereto shall increase proportionately with each
decrease in the Exercise Price.
(f) ADJUSTMENTS: ADDITIONAL SHARES, SECURITIES OR ASSETS. In the event
that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5,
Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares
and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever
appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and
thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.
6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Holder shall be afforded certain registration rights registering the
Common Stock underlying the Warrant, as more fully described in the registration
rights agreement between the Holder and the Company of even date herewith.
7. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant,
Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on
Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of
Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such
fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise shall be rounded to the closest whole number of shares.
8. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted
therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of
this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. The Company covenants and agrees
that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and
not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of
any person or entity.
9. TRANSFER.
Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this
Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company,
substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as EXHIBIT B,
indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the
respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall
effect the assignment within ten (10) days, and shall deliver to the assignee(s)
designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the
appropriate number of shares.

10. BENEFITS OF THIS WARRANT.
Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person
other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit
of the Company and Holder.
11. APPLICABLE LAW.
This Warrant is issued under and shall for all purposes be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without
giving effect to conflict of law provisions thereof.
12. LOSS OF WARRANT.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction)
of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
13. NOTICE OR DEMANDS.

Holder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and
