X-CHANGE CORPORATION
$1.50 WARRANT
X-Change Corporation (the "COMPANY"), for value received, hereby
certifies that ___________________or its registered assigns (the "REGISTERED
HOLDER"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from
the Company, at any time after the Date of Issuance (set forth above) and on or
before the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 3 below), up to the Number of
Shares set forth above of common stock, par value one-tenth of one cent ($0.001)
per share, of the Company (the "COMMON STOCK"), subject to adjustment as set
forth herein, at a purchase price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment as
set forth herein. The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant are
hereinafter referred to as the "WARRANT STOCK." The exercise price per share of
Warrant Stock is hereinafter referred to as the "PURCHASE PRICE." This Warrant
is one of a series of warrants issued in connection with a private placement of
the Company consummated on or around the Date of Issuance, in one or more
closings, pursuant to which this Warrant (along with other warrants exercisable
at $1.50 per share and warrants exercisable at $2.00 per share) were issued.
This Warrant and all other such warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share are
referred to as the "$1.50 WARRANTS."
1. EXERCISE.
(a) MANNER OF EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised by the
Registered Holder, pursuant to this Section 1(a), in whole or in part, by
surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as EXHIBIT A
duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder's duly
authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other
office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full of
the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock
purchased upon such exercise. The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check,
wire transfer or by the surrender of promissory notes or other instruments
representing indebtedness of the Company to the Registered Holder.
(b) NET EXERCISE OPTION.
(i) The Company may, by giving notice thereof to the
Holder, force a net exercise of this Warrant in a manner consistent
with Section 1(b)(iii) at any time when the public trading price of the
Warrant Stock, in the good faith discretion of the Company, has been
$2.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and the like) or
above for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of such
notice. The date of such forced exercise shall be the date the Company
gives the notice identified in the first sentence of this Section
1(b)(i).
(ii) The Holder will, if reasonably requested by the
Company for legitimate business reasons (such as the cost and expense
of continued registration of the Warrant Stock with the Securities and
Exchange Commission) at any time when the public trading price of the
Warrant Stock, in the good faith discretion of the Company, has been
$1.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and the like) or
above for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of such
request, elect to exercise this Warrant in a manner consistent with
Section 1(b)(iii) within ten business days of such request by the
Company. The date of such net exercise will be the earlier of (x) the
date the Company receives notice of such election from the Holder or,
(y) if the Company does not receive such notice from the Holder, the
10th business day following the date the Company sent the request
identified in the first sentence of this Section 1(b)(ii).
(iii) In the event of a net exercise pursuant to this
Section 1(b), this Warrant will be deemed exercised and the Registered
Holder shall receive that number of shares of Warrant Stock in exchange
for the Warrant, computed using the following formula:
X = Y (A - B)
---------
A
where: X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be
issued to the Registered Holder;
Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock
requested to be exercised under this Warrant;
A = the Market Value of one (1) share of the
Warrant Stock on the date of deemed exercise;
and
B = the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to the
terms of this Warrant).
For purposes hereof, the "MARKET VALUE" of the Warrant Stock as of a
particular date shall be determined as follows: if traded on a national
securities exchange or through a national securities exchange or
over-the-counter, the Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of
the closing price reported over the five (5) trading days immediately
prior to the date of forced or deemed exercise hereunder (or if no
reported sales took place on such day, the last date on which any such
sales took place prior to the date of exercise).
(iv) For avoidance of doubt, (x) this Section 1(b)
will not apply if the Warrant Stock is not publicly traded on a
national securities exchange or through a national securities exchange
or over-the-counter, (y) nothing in this Section 1(b) will prevent the
-2-
Holder from exercising this Warrant, in whole or in part, for cash
pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof at any time prior to the date of forced
or deemed exercise pursuant to this Section 1(b) and, (z) except as
specifically set forth in this Section 1(b), this Warrant may not be
cashlessly or net exercised.
(v) Upon any forced or deemed exercise pursuant to
this Section 1(b), this Warrant shall be of no further force and
effect, other than the right to receive the number of shares of Warrant
Stock calculated in accordance with this Section 1(b), and the
Registered Holder shall immediately return the original of this Warrant
to the Company or its transfer agent for cancellation.
(c) EFFECTIVE TIME OF EXERCISE. Each exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business
on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as
provided in Section 1(a) or deemed exercised pursuant to Section 1(b) above, as
applicable) or, in the case of an exercise pursuant to Section 1(a), upon such
later date requested by such Registered Holder (subject to the expiration of
this Warrant pursuant to its terms).
(c) DELIVERY TO REGISTERED HOLDER. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within
twenty (20) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued
in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Registered
Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes)
may direct:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new
warrant (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the
face thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the number of
such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such
shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in
Section 1(a) above.
2. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) MERGERS OR CONSOLIDATIONS. If at any time there shall be a
capital reorganization or a merger or consolidation of the Company with another
corporation or entity (other than a Change of Control Transaction, as defined in
Section 3), lawful provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Registered
Holder shall thereafter exclusively be entitled to receive upon the exercise of
this Warrant, the number of shares of stock or other securities or other
property (including, if applicable, cash) (or any combination thereof) to which
a holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock (or of any shares of stock or
other securities or other property (including, if applicable, cash) (or any
combination thereof) which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger or consolidation.
-3-
(b) SPLITS AND SUBDIVISIONS; DIVIDENDS. In the event the
Company should at any time or from time to time fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Warrant
Stock or the determination of the holders of Warrant Stock entitled to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Warrant Stock or
other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Warrant Stock (hereinafter
referred to as the "WARRANT STOCK EQUIVALENTS") without payment of any
consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Warrant Stock or
Warrant Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such
distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Purchase
Price shall be appropriately decreased and the number of shares of Warrant Stock
shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase (or potential
increase) of outstanding shares.
(c) COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the number of shares of Warrant
Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a
combination of the outstanding shares of Warrant Stock, the Purchase Price shall
be appropriately increased and the number of shares of Warrant Stock shall be
appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(d) ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event the
Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons,
evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets
(excluding cash dividends paid out of net profits) or options or rights not
referred to in Section 2(b), then, in each such case for the purpose of this
Section 2(d), upon exercise of this Warrant the holder hereof shall be entitled
to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though such holder was the
holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock of the Company into which this
Warrant may be exercised as of the record date fixed for the determination of
the holders of Warrant Stock of the Company entitled to receive such
distribution.
(e) CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. When any adjustment is required
to be made in the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company
shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate, signed by the
Company's Chief Financial Officer, setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. Such certificate shall also set forth the kind and
amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be
exercisable following the occurrence of any of the events specified in this
Section 2.
3. TERMINATION. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon
exercise hereof) shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the following (a)
five years from the Date of Issuance (the "EXPIRATION DATE") and (b) immediately

(on an as converted to Common Stock basis) of the surviving corporation or
-4-

transaction; and (iv) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or
more of the total voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding
voting securities.
