ON MARCH __, 2002
THIS CERTIFIES THAT for value received, [▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇] [▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇], an individual ("Corelli"), or their registered permitted assigns
(together with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Holder"),
may subscribe for and purchase, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, from
INTERIORS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), 50,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common
Stock"), at any time during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing at
9:00 a.m. New York Time on March __, 1999 (the "Effective Date") and ending at
5:00 p.m. New York Time, on March __, 2002, a date which is three (3) years from
the Effective Date (the "Expiration Date"), at an exercise price per share equal
to $3.25 (the "Exercise Price"). The number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Exercise Price, and the kind of
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth
below. The shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, as adjusted from time to time, is sometimes referred to hereinafter as
"Warrant Shares."
1. Exercise Price and Expiration. (a) This Warrant may be exercised in
whole or in part on any Business Day (as such term is hereinafter defined) at
any time during the Exercise Period upon surrender to the Company, at its
address for notices set forth in Section 8 of this Warrant (or at such other
office of the Company, if any, or such other office of the Company's duly
authorized agent for such purpose, as may be maintained by the Company for such
purpose and so designated by the Company by written notice to the Holder prior
to such exercise), together with the following: (i) a duly completed and
executed Notice of Warrant Exercise in the form annexed hereto, and (ii) payment
of the full Exercise Price for this Warrant or the portion thereof then being
exercised. This Warrant and all rights and options hereunder shall expire on,
and shall be immediately wholly null and void to the extent the Warrant is not
properly exercised
prior to the Expiration Date. As used in this Warrant the term "Business Day"
shall mean the time period between 9:00 a.m. New York, New York Time and 5:00
p.m. New York, New York Time on any day other than any Saturday, Sunday, or
other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are required or are
authorized by law to close.
(b) Such Exercise Price shall be paid in lawful money of the United
States of America by bank cashier's check or by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to such account as shall have been designated in writing by the
Company to the Holder from time to time.
(c) Upon the Holder's surrender of the Warrant and payment of the
Exercise Price as set forth above, the Company shall promptly issue and cause to
be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the total number of
whole shares of Class A Common Stock for which this Warrant is then so
exercised, as the case may be (adjusted to reflect the effect of the
anti-dilution provisions contained in Section 2 of this Warrant, if any) in such
denominations as are requested for delivery to the Holder, and the Company shall
thereupon deliver such certificates to the Holder. The Holder shall be deemed to
be the Holder of record of the shares of Class A 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 Class A Common
Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. If, at the time this
Warrant is exercised, a registration statement under the Securities Act is not
then in effect to register under said Securities Act the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant (together with any applicable state securities law
registrations), the Company may require the Holder to make such representations,
and may place such legends on certificates representing the Warrant Shares, as
may be reasonably required in the opinion of counsel to the Company to permit
the Warrant Shares to be issued without such registration, unless the Company
receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company
to the effect that said securities may be freely traded without registration
under the Securities Act.
(d) If the Holder shall exercise this Warrant with respect to less
than all of the Warrant Shares that may then be purchased under this Warrant,
having taken into account any prior exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Holder a new warrant in the form of this
Warrant for the balance of such Warrant Shares.
2. Certain Anti-dilution Adjustments.
If the Company shall (a) pay a dividend or make a distribution to Holder
of shares of Company Class A Common Stock in the form of additional shares of
Class A Common Stock, (b) subdivide or split or reverse split or consolidate the
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of
shares, (c) or otherwise effect an increase or decrease in the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock without consideration, or (d) effect a recapitalization
which shall reclassify the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into one
or more classes of Class A
2
Common Stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be equitably and
proportionately adjusted immediately following the occurrence of any such event,
and the Holder of record of this Warrant shall be given notice of the same at
such ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s address in the Company's books and records. An adjustment made
pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record
date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, split, combination or
reclassification; provided, if such record date shall have been fixed and such
dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date
fixed therefor, the exercise price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the
close of business on such record date and thereafter such exercise price in
effect shall be as adjusted pursuant to this Section as of the time of actual
payment of such dividend or distribution.
3. Reorganization and Asset Sales.
If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of
the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock of the
Company to another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets or properties of the Company to another corporation, shall be effected in
such a manner so that Holder of Company Class A Common Stock shall be entitled
to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for
Company Class A Common Stock, then, and in such event, the following provisions
shall apply:
(a) Not more than 90 or less than 30 days prior to the consummation
of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger
or sale (collectively, "Reorganization Transactions"), the Company
shall notify the Holder of the Reorganization Transaction (at the
same time notice of same shall be made generally available to other
Holder of Company Class A Common Stock), describing in such notice
in reasonable detail the terms of the Reorganization Transaction and
the stock, securities or assets to be received with respect to or in
exchange for Class A Common Stock of the Company. In the event the
Holder exercise this Warrant not more than 90 or less than 30 days
prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transaction, such
Holder shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with
respect to or in exchange for Class A Common Stock (collectively,
"Reorganization Consideration") on the same basis as the other
Holder of Company Class A Common Stock participating in the
Reorganization Transaction as if such Holder had previously
exercised this Warrant and held such number of Warrant Shares to
which they are entitled based on the Exercise Price.
(b) The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization Transaction
unless prior to or simultaneous with the consummation thereof, the
successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting
therefrom shall assume by written instrument executed and made
available to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing
on the books of the
3
Company, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of
stock, securities or assets, as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and all other
liabilities and obligations of the Company hereunder. In the event
the Holder of this Warrant shall not exercise the Warrant prior to
or simultaneous with consummation of the Reorganization Transaction,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive a warrant to purchase Class
A Common Stock in the successor corporation (if other than the
Company) which shall be appropriately adjusted as to exercise price,
number of shares which may be purchased thereunder and other terms,
so as to equitably reflect the Reorganization Transaction and
entitle the Holder to purchase that number of shares of Class A
Common Stock of the successor corporation equivalent in value to the
consideration that such Holder would have received had Holder
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to or simultaneously with
such Reorganization Transaction. In the event the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from the
Reorganization Transaction shall be a privately-held company and the
Reorganization Consideration, in part or in whole, shall be in the
form of securities for which there is no readily ascertainable
market value by virtue of not being traded on any national market or
exchange, the Company shall not effect any such Reorganization
Transaction unless prior to or simultaneous with the consummation
thereof, the successor corporation shall agree by written instrument
executed and made available to the Holder at the last address of the
Holder appearing on the books of the Company to pay to the Holder a
cash amount equivalent in value to the difference between the
Exercise Price and the Fair Market Value multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares that such Holder would have received had the Holder
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to or simultaneously with
such Reorganization Transaction.
(c) If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted
by the Holder of more than fifty (50%) percent of the outstanding
shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, the Company shall,
prior to the consummation of any consolidation, merger or sale to or
with the person, firm or corporation having made such offer or any
affiliate of such person, firm or corporation, give the Holder a
reasonable opportunity of not less than 10 days to elect to receive
upon the exercise of this Warrant, either the stock, securities or
assets then issuable with respect to the Class A Common Stock of the
Company or the stock, securities or assets, or the equivalent,
issued to previous Holder of the Class A Common Stock in accordance
with such purchase tender or exchange offer.

4. Notice of Adjustment.
Whenever the Exercise and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as herein provided, or the rights of
the Holder shall change by reason of other events specified herein, the Company
shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price and the number of adjusted Warrant
Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall prepare a certificate
signed by its Chief Executive Officer, or its President, or its Chief Financial
Officer, setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or specifying the
other shares of stock, securities, or assets receivable as a result of such
changes in rights, and showing in reasonable detail the facts and calculations
upon which such adjustments or other changes are based. The Company shall caused
to be mailed to the Holder copies of such officer's certificate together with a
notice stating that the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant have been adjusted and setting forth
the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Certain Representations of the Company.
Throughout the Exercise Period, the Company has (i) all requisite power
and authority to issue this Warrant and the Warrant Shares, and (ii) sufficient
authorized and unissued securities of Class A Common Stock to permit exercise of
this Warrant.
6. Certain Covenants of the Company.
(a) The Company shall take such steps as are necessary to cause the
Company to continue to have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Class A
Common Stock reserved in order to permit the exercise of the unexercised and
unexpired portion of this Warrant, if any.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon
the due exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the
terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
and free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and security interests created
by the Company with respect to the issuance thereof.
(c) The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable
to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant;
provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of this Warrant or of
any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder upon
the exercise of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates 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.
5
(d) This Warrant and, when so issued, the shares of Class A Common Stock
which may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants, will have been issued,
pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
(e) The Company covenants and agrees that if it fails (i) to register the
Warrant Shares as provided in a Registration Rights Agreement between the Holder
and the Company, dated of even date herewith, or (ii) to issue the shares of
Class A Common Stock upon the proper exercise of the Warrant, then the Holder
may immediately commence an action for specific performance and/or damages.
7. No Shareholder Rights. No Holder of this Warrant shall, as such, be
entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of Class A Common Stock or any other
kind of securities of the Company, nor shall anything contained herein be
construed to confer upon the Holder the rights of a shareholder of the Company
or the right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted
to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or give or withhold consent to any
corporate action or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting
shareholders (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), or to receive
dividends or subscription rights or otherwise, until the date of Holder' proper
exercise of this Warrant as described herein.
