Exhibit 4.10
WARRANT AGREEMENT
WARRANT AGREEMENT dated as of December 20, 1994 between CRYENCO
SCIENCES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and The Edgehill
Corporation (the "Holder") .
1. GRANT. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in consideration of
$10.00 and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged by the Company, the Holder is hereby initially
granted the right to purchase, at any time and from time to time from April
20, 1995 until 5:30 p.m., Denver time on December 20, 1999 (the "Exercise
Period"), up to an aggregate of 25,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial
exercise price of $4.00. The adjusted exercise price shall be the price which
shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of the initial
exercise price, in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 6 hereof. The
term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the initial exercise price, as
applicable based on the date of exercise, or the adjusted exercise price,
depending upon the context.
2. WARRANT CERTIFICATES. The warrant certificates (the "Warrant
Certificates") delivered and to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall
be in the form set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof,
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as required or permitted by this Agreement.
3. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. The Warrants initially are exercisable at the
Exercise Price (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6 hereof) per
share of Common Stock, payable by certified or official bank cashier's check
payable to the order of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Holder shall
have the right, at his or its election, in lieu of delivering the Exercise
Price in cash, to instruct the Company in the form of subscription to retain,
in payment of the Exercise Price, a number of shares of Common Stock (the
"Payment Shares") equal to the quotient of (i) the Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of shares as to which the Warrant is then being exercised
divided by (ii) the "Average Closing Price" as of the date of exercise and to
deduct the number of Payment Shares from the shares to be delivered to the
Holder. "Average Closing Price" means, as of any date, (x) if shares of Common
Stock are listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing
sales prices therefor on the largest securities exchange on which such shares
are traded on the last 10 trading days before such date, (y) if such shares
are listed on the NASDAQ National Market System but not on any national
securities exchange, the average of the closing sales prices therefor on the
NASDAQ National Market System on the last 10 trading days before such date or
(z) if such shares are not listed on either a national securities exchange or
the NASDAQ National Market System, the average of the sales prices therefor on
the last 20 trading days before such date. Upon surrender of a Warrant
Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed,
together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock at
the Company's principal offices (currently located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇), the Holder or any
2
subsequent registered holder or holders of a Warrant Certificate (any such
subsequent holder or holders also referred to herein as the "Holder" or
"Holders") shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased for the Warrants so exercised. The
purchase rights represented by each Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the
option of the Holder thereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional
shares of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants). Warrants may be exercised
to purchase all or part of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby. In
the case of the purchase of less than all the securities purchasable under any
Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel said Warrant Certificate upon
the surrender thereof and, unless the Warrant has expired, shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the
securities purchasable thereunder. With respect to any such exercise, the
Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of
the number of shares of Common Stock from the date on which the Warrant was
surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made irrespective of the
date of delivery of such shares, except that, if the date of such surrender
and payment is a date on which the stock transfer books of the Company are
closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares
at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock
transfer books are open.
4. ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES. Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the
issuance of certificates for the shares of Common Stock shall be made
forthwith (and in any event within 10 business days thereafter) without charge
to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be
payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall
(subject to the provisions of SECTIONS 5 and 7 hereof) be issued in the name
of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; 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 issuance and delivery of
any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until
the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof in a name other than
that of the Holder 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 Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the shares
of Common Stock shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or
facsimile signature of the then present Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board
of Directors or President or Vice President of the Company under its corporate
seal reproduced thereon, attested to by the dual or facsimile signature of the
then present Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company. Warrant
Certificates shall be dated the date of execution by the Company upon initial
issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
5. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF WARRANTS.
There shall be not more than five (5) Holders of record of the
Warrants. The Holder of a Warrant Certificate, by his or its acceptance
thereof, covenants and agrees that the Warrants may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, in
2
3
whole or in part, except to or among wholly owned subsidiaries of the Holder
or officers, directors or employees of the Holder, who also shall hold the
warrants subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 5.
6. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES.
6.1 COMPUTATION OF ADJUSTED EXERCISE PRICE. For the purposes of this
SECTION 6 the term Exercise Price shall mean the Exercise Price per share of
Common Stock set forth in SECTION 1 hereof, as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 6.
6.2 SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATIONS. In case the Company shall at any
time subdivide (for example, a stock split or stock dividend) or combine (for
example, a reverse stock split) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of
subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
6.3 ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SECURITIES. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 6, the number of
securities issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the
nearest full share by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock (or other securities as provided in this SECTION 6) issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
6.4 DEFINITION OF COMMON STOCK. For the purpose of this Agreement,
the term "Common Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as Class
A Voting Common Stock, $.01 par value, in the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company as of the date hereof, (ii) the class of stock
designated as Class B non-voting Convertible Common Stock, $.01 par value, in
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company as of
the date hereof, (iii) any other capital stock of any class or classes
(however designated) of the Company the holders of which shall have the right,
without limitation as to amount, either to all or to a share of the balance of
current dividends and distributions on any shares entitled to preference
except the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company and (iv) any other
securities into which or for which any of the securities described in clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) above have been converted, exchanged or combined pursuant
to a plan of recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or
otherwise. In the event that the Company shall after the date hereof issue
securities with greater or superior voting rights than the shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of the date hereof, the Holder, at his or its option, may
receive upon exercise of any Warrant either shares of Common Stock or an equal
number of such securities with greater or superior voting rights.
6.5 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. If any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation,
merger or other transaction of the Company with another corporation in which
the Company is the surviving corporation, or the sale of all or substantially
all of the Company's assets to another corporation shall be effected
3
4
in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
consideration (including but not limited to stock, securities or assets) with
respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and
adequate provisions shall be made whereby each Holder shall thereafter have the
right to receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately
theretofore so receivable upon the exercise of each Warrant or Warrants, such
shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as may be issued or
payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of
such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately
theretofore so receivable had such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale not taken place, and in any such case appropriate
provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such Holder
to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustments of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of such rights. In the event of a merger or
consolidation of the Company or other transaction in which the Company is not
the surviving corporation or in which, as the result of the transaction, no
trading market will exist for the Common Stock, the Company shall give notice
regarding the transaction in accordance with SECTION 12 hereof as soon as
practicable (and in no event less than 20 days prior to the record date fixed
for the transaction or, if none, the closing date for such transaction) in order
to afford the Holders the opportunity to exercise their Warrants and receive
after exercise the same consideration payable in the transaction to other
holders of Common Stock. This SECTION 6.5 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, classifications, consolidations, mergers or other transaction
contemplated hereby.
6.6 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price,
the Company shall give written notice thereof to each Holder in accordance with
SECTION 12 hereof, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation
and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
7.1 REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. The Warrants and
the shares of Common Stock have not been registered for sale under the Act.
Upon exercise of the Warrants, in part or in whole, certificates representing
the shares of Common Stock shall bear the following legend:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), and
may not be offered or sold except pursuant to (i) an effective
registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the extent applicable,
Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule under such Act relating to
the disposition of securities), or (iii) an opinion of counsel, if
such opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer
that an exemption from registration under such Act is available.

7.2 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.
(a) If, at any time commencing after March 20, 1995 through
and including the fifth anniversary hereof the Company proposes to
register any of its equity securities under the Act (other than in
connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated
under the Act or pursuant to Form S-8 or S-4 or successor forms) it
will give written notice by registered or certified mail, at least 15
days prior to the filing of each such registration statement, to the
Holders of the Warrants of its intention to do so. If the Holders of
the Warrants notify the Company within 15 days after receipt of any
such notice of its or their desire to include Common Stock underlying
the Warrants in such proposed registration statement, the Company
shall afford such Holders of the opportunity to have any such Common
Stock registered under such registration statement.
(b) In the case of an underwritten offering, if the managing
underwriter of the offering determines and advises the Company in
writing that inclusion of the Common Stock of the Holders requested to
be included would interfere with the successful offering of shares by
the Company there shall be excluded from such offering, to the extent
that the managing underwriter deems necessary, shares of Common Stock
owned by the Holders on a PRO RATA basis and subject to any other
piggyback rights which may exist on the date hereof.
7.3 COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO REGISTRATION. In
connection with any registration under SECTION 7.2 hereof, the Company
covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Company shall pay all reasonable costs (excluding
transfer taxes, if any, and fees and expenses of Holder(s)' counsel
and any underwriting or selling commissions), fees and expenses in
connection with all registration statements filed pursuant to SECTION
7.2 hereof including, without limitation, the Company's legal and
accounting fees (including the costs and expenses of any special audit
or other procedures), printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses.
(b) The Company will take all necessary action which may be
required in qualifying or registering the Common 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, however, that the number of states in which
qualification or registration shall be required shall not exceed five
(5) and in no event shall the Company be required to effect such
qualification or registration if such act would require the Company to
qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to
service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
qualified or required to file such a consent.
5
6
(c) Upon any registration becoming effective pursuant to this
SECTION 7, the Company shall use its best efforts to: (i) keep such
registration statement current for a period of 90 days; (ii) prepare
and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act
and the Regulations of the Commission with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such registration statement; (iii) cause
all the Common Stock registered pursuant to such registration
statement to be listed on each exchange or automated quotation system
on which the Common Stock is then listed; (iv) provide a transfer
agent and registrar for all stock registered pursuant to such
registration statement and CUSIP number for all such stock, in each
case not later than the effective date of such registration; and (v)
otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission.
(d) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Holder(s) of the Common Stock to be sold pursuant to any registration
statement and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), against and from
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 Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration
statement, except such matters in respect of which such Holders are
required to indemnify the Company under the next succeeding paragraph.
(e) The Holders of the Common Stock to be sold pursuant to a
registration statement, and its or their successors and assigns, shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against and
from all loss, claim, damage, 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 its or their successors or
assigns, for specific inclusion in such registration statement.
(f) Any person entitled to indemnification under this SECTION
7 will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any
claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in
such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest
between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with
respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying parry to assume the
defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party
will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by
6
7
the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying parry who is not entitled to,
or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated
to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties
indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim,
unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict
of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of
such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
requiring the Holder to exercise his or its Warrants prior to the
initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness
thereof.
(h) The Company at its expense shall deliver promptly to each
Holder participating in the offering and requesting the correspondence
and memoranda described below copies of all documents proposed to be
filed with the Commission, all correspondence between the Commission
and the Company, its counsel or auditors, and all memoranda relating to
the registration statement and permit each such Holder at its expense
to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect
to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement
as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities
laws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Such investigation shall include access to books, records and
properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company
with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable
extent and at such reasonable times and as often as any such Holder
shall reasonably request.
8. EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Each Warrant
Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender thereof by the
registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the same number of securities in such denominations as shall
be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender, subject to
the provisions of Section 5 hereof.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate, and,
in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant
Certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor, in lieu thereof.
9. ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. The Company shall not be
required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrants, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or
pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties
that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any
7
8
fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities, properties or rights.
10. RESERVATION AND LISTING. The Company shall at times have and keep
available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common
Stock or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the
Warrants, and payment of the respective exercise price therefor, all shares of
Common Stock and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall, at the time
of delivery thereof, be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, not
subject to the preemptive rights of any stockholder and free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company will take all
such action as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares of Common Stock
may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of
any requirements of any national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock
of the Company may be listed. The Company will not take any action which results
in any adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and issuable after such action upon exercise of the Warrants would
exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company has not granted and
will not grant any right of first refusal with respect to shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, and there are no preemptive rights associated with
such shares. As long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all
securities exchanges, if any, on which the Common Stock issued to the public in
connection herewith may then be listed and/or quoted on NASDAQ.
11. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or to
consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of
stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any
rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time
prior to the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following
events shall occur:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash
dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of current or
retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such
dividend or distribution on the books of the Company; or
(b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common
Stock any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock
of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor;
or
8
9
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of
all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an
entity shall be proposed
then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
of such event at least 15 days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the
date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholder
entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities
or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or
the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken
in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend, or the
issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights,
options or warrants or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or
sale.
12. NOTICES.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered,
or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:
(a) If to the registered Holder of the Warrants, to the
address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company; or
(b) If to the Company, to the address set forth in SECTION 3
hereof or to such other address as the Company may designate by notice
to the Holders.
13. SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS. The Company and the Holder may from
time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any
subsequent Holders of Warrant Certificates (other than the Holder) in order to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision contained herein
which may be defective or inconsistent with provisions herein, or to make any
other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the
Company and the Holder may deem necessary or desirable and which the Company and
the Holder deem shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of
Warrant Certificates.
14. SUCCESSORS. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holders, the
limited partners of the Holder and their respective successors and assigns
hereunder.
15. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate at the close of
business on December 20, 1999. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
indemnification provisions of SECTION 7 shall survive such termination until the
close of business on December 20, 2002.

16. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. This Agreement and each
Warrant Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under
the laws of the State of Delaware and for all purposes shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of said State without giving effect to the rules of
said State governing the conflicts of laws.
The Company and the Holders hereby agree that any action, proceeding or
claim against it arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement shall
be brought and enforced in the courts of the state of New York or of the United
States of America for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits
to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company and the
Holders hereby irrevocably waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction or
inconvenient forum. Any such process or summons to be served upon any of the
Company and the Holders (at the option of the party bringing such action,
proceeding or claim) may be served by transmitting a copy thereof, by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to it at
the address set forth in SECTION 12 hereof. Such mailing shall be deemed
personal service and shall be legal and binding upon the party so served in any
action, proceeding or claim.
17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and may not be modified or amended except by a writing duly signed by the
party against whom enforcement of the modification or amendment is sought.
18. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to

are for convenience of reference only and are not intended, nor should they be
construed as, a part of this Agreement and shall be given no substantive effect.
20. BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company and the
Holder and any subsequent registered Holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates or
Warrants any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; and
this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and
the Holder and subsequent Holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants.
21. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, (II)
TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER SUCH
ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES) OR (III) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL,
IF SUCH OPINION SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER, THAT
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.

WARRANT CERTIFICATE
This Warrant Certificate certifies that The Edgehill Corporation, or
registered assigns, is the registered holder of 25,000 Warrants to purchase
initially, at any time from April 20, 1995 until 5:30 p.m., Denver time, on
December 20, 1999 ("Expiration Date"), up to 25,000 shares of Class A voting
common stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock") of CRYENCO SCIENCES, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at the price per share of Common Stock
equal to the Exercise Price set forth in the Warrant Agreement dated as of
December 20, 1994 between the Company and The Edgehill Corporation (the "Warrant
Agreement"), upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the
Exercise Price at an office or agency of the Company, but subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement. Payment of the
Exercise Price shall be made by certified or official bank cashier's check
payable to the order of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Holder shall
have the right, at his or its election, in lieu of delivering the Exercise Price
in cash, to instruct the Company in the form of subscription to retain, in

number of shares as to which the Warrant is then being exercised divided by (ii)
the "Average Closing Price" as of the date of exercise and to deduct the number
of Payment Shares from the shares to be delivered to the Holder. "Average
Closing Price" means, as of any date, (x) if

13
shares of Common Stock are listed on a national securities exchange, the average
of the closing sales prices therefor on the largest securities exchange on which
such shares are traded on the 10 trading days before such date, (y) if such

the last 20 trading days before such date.
No Warrant may be exercised after 5:30 p.m., Denver time, on the

prior thereto, shall thereafter be void.
The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, which is
hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is
hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the Holders
(the words "Holders" or "Holder" meaning the registered holders or registered
holder) of the Warrants.
The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain
events the Exercise Price and the type and/or number of the Company's securities
issuable thereupon may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. In such
event, the Company will, at the request of the Holder, issue a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number
and/or type of securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the failure of the Company to issue such new Warrant Certificates
shall not in any way change, alter, or otherwise impair, the rights of the
Holder as set forth in the Warrant Agreement to purchase the number of shares
for the exercise price as so adjusted or any other rights set forth in the
Warrant Agreement.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at an office or agency of the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant
Certificate, subject to the limitations provided herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, without any charge except for any tax or other governmental charge
imposed in connection with such transfer.
Upon the exercise of less than all of the Warrants evidenced by this
Certificate, the Company shall forthwith issue to the Holder hereof a new
Warrant Certificate representing such unexercised Warrants.
The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder(s) hereof as the
absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any
exercise hereof, and of any distribution to the
13

Holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
All terms used in this Warrant Certificate which are defined in the
Warrant Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Warrant
Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to
be duly executed under its corporate seal.
