1. Warrant.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for $1.00 and other good and valuable consideration,
duly paid by or on behalf of Brandon Ross ("Holder"), as registered owner of
this Warrant, to Network Commerce, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Company"),
Holder is entitled, at any time or from time to time at or after July 10, 2001
("Commencement Date"), and at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time July 10, 2006
("Expiration Date"), but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive,
in whole or in part, up to one hundred twenty six thousand (126,000) shares of
Common Stock of the Company, $.001 par value ("Common Stock"). If the Expiration
Date is a day on which banking institutions in Seattle, Washington are
authorized by law to close, then this Warrant may be exercised on the next
succeeding day which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein.
During the period ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take
any action that would terminate the Warrant. This Warrant is initially
exercisable at $0.57 per share of Common Stock purchased; provided, however,
that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6 hereof, the
rights granted by this Warrant, including the exercise price and the number of
shares of Common Stock to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as
therein specified. The term "Exercise Price" shall mean the initial exercise
price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context, of a share of
Common Stock. The term "Securities" shall mean the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

2. Exercise.
2.1 Exercise Form. In order to exercise this Warrant, the exercise form
attached hereto must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the
Company, together with this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price for the
Securities being purchased. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall
not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date,
this Warrant shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all
rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.
2.2 Legend. Each certificate for Securities purchased under this Warrant
shall bear a legend as follows, unless such Securities have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"):
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") or
applicable state law. The securities may not be offered for sale, sold
or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Act and applicable state law."
3. Transfer.
3.1 General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this Warrant, by its
acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not sell, transfer or assign or
hypothecate this Warrant to anyone except upon compliance with, or pursuant to
exemptions from, applicable securities laws. In order to make any permitted
assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached
hereto duly executed and completed, together with this Warrant and payment of
all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. The Company shall
immediately transfer this Warrant on the books of the Company and shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor to the appropriate
assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as
shall be contemplated by any such assignment.
3.2 Restrictions Imposed by the Securities Act. This Warrant and the
Securities underlying this Warrant shall not be transferred unless and until (i)
the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that such
securities may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act,
and applicable state law, the availability of which is established to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Company, or (ii) a registration statement
relating to such Securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission and compliance with applicable state
law.
4. New Warrants to be Issued.
4.1 Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3
hereof, this Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the
event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this
Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment
form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax, the
Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Warrant
of like tenor to this Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of
the Holder to purchase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and
Warrants purchasable hereunder as to which this Warrant has not been exercised
or assigned.
2
4.2 Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and of
reasonably satisfactory indemnification, the Company shall execute and deliver a
new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered
as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a
substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.
5. Registration Rights.
5.1 Demand Registration.
5.1.1 Grant of Right. The Company, upon written demand ("Initial Demand
Notice") of the Holder(s) of more than 50% ("Majority Holders") of the Warrants
and/or the underlying Common Stock (collectively "Registrable Securities"),
agrees to register on no more than one occasion, all or any portion of the
Warrants and/or the underlying Common Stock requested by the Majority Holders in
the Initial Demand Notice. Upon the request by the Majority Holders as set forth
in the preceding sentence, the Company will file a registration statement
covering the Registrable Securities within thirty days after receipt of the
Initial Demand Notice and use its best efforts to have such registration
statement declared effective as soon as possible thereafter. Should this
registration or the effectiveness thereof be delayed by the Company, the
exercisability of the Warrants shall be extended for a period of time equal to
the delay in registering the Registrable Securities. Moreover, if the Company
willfully fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.1.1, the Company
shall, in addition to any other equitable or other relief available to the
Holder(s), be liable for any and all incidental, special and consequential
damages sustained by the Holder(s). The demand for registration may be made at
any time during a period of seven years beginning one year from the Commencement
Date. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of its receipt of
any Initial Demand Notice by any Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of
the Warrants and/or the Registrable Securities within ten days from the date of
the receipt of any such Initial Demand Notice.
5.1.2 Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and reasonable expenses
incurred by the Company in compliance with Section 5.1.1 hereof attendant to
registering the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5.1.1 if such
registration of the Registrable Securities of any Holder relates to an Initial
Demand Notice from the Majority Holders, including any filing fees payable to
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and legal fees but
limited to one counsel selected by the Holders, and the Holders shall pay any
and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected
by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable
Securities. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to qualify or register
the Registrable Securities in such States as are reasonably requested by the
Majority Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be
required to register the Registrable Securities in a State in which such
registration would cause (i) the Company to be obligated to qualify to do
business in such State, or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign
corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) the principal
stockholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital
stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement filed
pursuant to the demand rights granted under Section 5.1.1 to remain effective
for a period of nine consecutive months from the effective date of such
registration statement unless the registration statement is on Form S-3 in which
case the Company shall cause the registration statement to remain effective
until all the Registrable Securities are sold or until the delivery to the
Holders of an opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory to the
Holders to the effect that such rights are no longer necessary for the public
sale of the Registrable Securities without restriction as to the number of
securities that may be sold at any one time or the manner of sale pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the Act.
3
5.2 "Piggy-Back" Registration.
5.2.1 Grant of Right. The Holders of this Warrant for so long as they hold
any of the Registrable Securities shall have the right from the Commencement
Date to have all of the Registrable Securities held by them automatically
included as part of any registration of securities filed by the Company, (other
than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated
under the Act or pursuant to Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any equivalent form),
including those registrations filed prior to the date hereof but which have not
yet been declared effective; provided, however, that if, in the written opinion
of the Company's managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, for such offering
(the "Underwriter"), the inclusion of the Registrable Securities, when added to
the securities being registered by the Company or the selling stockholder(s),
will exceed the maximum amount of the Company's securities which can be marketed
(i) at a price reasonably related to their then current market value, or (ii)
without materially and adversely affecting the entire offering, the Company
shall nevertheless register all or any portion of the Registrable Securities
required to be so registered but such Registrable Securities shall not be sold
by the Holders until 120 days after the registration statement for such offering
has become effective; and provided further that, if any securities are
registered for sale on behalf of other stockholders in such offering and such
stockholders have not agreed to defer such sale until the expiration of such 120
day period, the number of securities to be sold by all stockholders in such
public offering during such 120 day period shall be apportioned pro rata among
all such selling stockholders, including all holders of the Registrable
Securities, according to the total amount of securities of the Company proposed
to be sold by said selling stockholders, including all holders of the
Registrable Securities.
5.2.2 Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and reasonable expenses
incurred by the Company in compliance with Section 5.2.1 hereof attendant to
registering the Registrable Securities, including any filing fees payable to the
NASD, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the
expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in
connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a
proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding
Registrable Securities with written notice of such registration and the
Company's inclusion of the number of the Registrable Securities thereon, not
less than twenty days prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration
statement. The "piggy-back" rights provided for herein shall be automatic on
every registration statement filed by the Company until such time as all
Registrable Securities have been sold by the Holders or until the delivery to
the Holders of an opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory to
the Holders to the effect that such rights are no longer necessary for the
public sale of the Registrable Securities without restriction as to the number
of securities that may be sold at any one time or the manner of sale pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the Act. The Company shall give notice to the Holders of each
registration statement filed by the Company on which the Registrable Securities
are to be registered.
4
The Company shall cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the
above "piggy-back" rights to remain effective until all Registrable Securities
thereunder have been sold or are freely saleable, without restriction, under an
exemption from the registration requirements.
5.3 General Terms
5.3.1 Indemnification.
(a) The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities
to be sold pursuant to any registration statement hereunder and any underwriter
or person deemed to be an underwriter under the Act and each person, if any, who
controls such Holders or underwriters or persons deemed to be underwriters
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), against all loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and other
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. The
Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration
statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly,
indemnify the Company, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability
(including all reasonable attorneys' fees and other 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, in writing, for
specific inclusion in such registration statement.
(b) If any action is brought against a party hereto, ("Indemnified Party")
in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the other party
("Indemnifying Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify
Indemnifying Party in writing of the institution of such action and Indemnifying
Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment and fees
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Such Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been
authorized in writing by Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of
such action, or (ii) Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to
defend such action, or (iii) such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which may
result in a conflict between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party (in
which case Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of
such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events, the
reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one additional firm of attorneys
designated in writing by the Indemnified Party shall be borne by Indemnifying
Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Indemnified
Party shall assume the defense of such action as provided above, Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without
its written consent.
5
(c) If the indemnification or reimbursement provided for hereunder is
finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unavailable to an Indemnified Party (other than as a consequence of a final
judicial determination of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of
such Indemnified Party), then Indemnifying Party agrees, in lieu of indemnifying
such Indemnified Party, to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received, or sought to be received, by Indemnifying Party on
the one hand and by such Indemnified Party on the other or (ii) if (but only if)
the allocation provided in clause (i) of this sentence is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of
Indemnifying Party and of such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in no
event shall the aggregate amount contributed by a Holder exceed the profit, if
any, earned by such Holder as a result of the exercise by him of the Warrants
and the sale by him of the underlying shares of Common Stock.
(d) The rights accorded to Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in
addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by
separate agreement or otherwise.
5.3.2 Exercise of Warrants. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be
construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Warrants prior to or
after the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness
thereof.
5.3.3 Documents Delivered to Holders. The Company shall furnish to each
Holder participating in any of the foregoing offerings and to each Underwriter
of any such offering, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder or
Underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective
date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an
underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under any
underwriting agreement related thereto), and (ii) a "cold comfort" letter dated
the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration
includes an underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing
under the underwriting agreement) signed by the independent public accountants
who have issued a report on the Company's financial statements included in such
registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters
with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included
therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter, with respect to events
subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered
in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities. The Company shall
also deliver promptly to each Holder participating in the offering requesting
the correspondence and memoranda described below and to the managing underwriter
copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel
or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its
staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each Holder and
underwriter 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 NASD. 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.

6. Adjustments
6.1 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise
Price and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:
6.1.1 Stock Dividends - Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups. If,
after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2 below, the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on
the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up,
recapitalization or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar
event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such
increase in outstanding shares.
6.1.2 Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the
provisions of Section 6.2, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is
decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of
Common Stock or other similar event, then, upon the effective date thereof, the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
6.1.3 Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as
provided in this Section 6.1, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the
nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.1.4 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any
reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 hereof or which solely affects the
par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to
another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved,
the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration
of the right of exercise of this Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof,
for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to
such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or
property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization,
merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or other
transfer, by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if
any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered
by Sections 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to
Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and this Section 6.1.4. The provisions of this
Section 6.1.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,
reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.
7
6.1.5 Changes in Form of Warrant. This form of Warrant need not be changed
because of any change pursuant to this Section, and Warrants issued after such
change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares of Common
Stock and Warrants as are stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to
this Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Warrants
reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any
rights to a prior adjustment or the computation thereof.
6.2 Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required
to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in
lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all
fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the
nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties
or rights.
7. Reservation and Listing. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, 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 Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock and other
securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder.
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 (or, if applicable on Nasdaq) on which the Common Stock is then listed
and/or quoted.
8. Certain Notice Requirements.
8.1 Holder's Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed as
conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or consent or to receive notice as
a stockholder 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 events
described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the
Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen days prior to
the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for
the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution,
conversion or exchange of 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 the closing of the transfer books, as
the case may be.
8
8.2 Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be required to give the
notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the following events: (i)
if 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, or (ii)
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 (iii) a merger or reorganization in which the
Company is not the surviving party, or (iv) 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 shall be proposed.
8.3 Notice of Change in Exercise Price. The Company shall, promptly after
an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6 hereof,
send notice to the Holders of such event and change ("Price Notice"). The Price
Notice shall describe the event causing the change and the method of calculating
same and shall be certified as being true and accurate by the Company's
President and Chief Financial Officer.
8.4 Transmittal of Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly made on the date of delivery if delivered personally or sent by
overnight courier, with acknowledgment of receipt by the party to which notice
is given, or on the fifth day after mailing if mailed to the party to whom
notice is to be given, by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid and properly addressed as follows: (i) if to the
registered Holder of this Warrant, to the address of such Holder as shown on the
books of the Company, or (ii) if to the Company, to its principal executive
office.

constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of
the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
9.3 Binding Effect. This Warrant shall inure solely to the benefit of and

9.4 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the law of the State
of New York, without giving effect to conflict of laws. The Company hereby
agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of, or
relating in any way to this Warrant 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 hereby waives any objection to such
exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Any
process or summons to be served upon the Company 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 8 hereof. Such
mailing shall be deemed personal service and shall be legal and binding upon the

prevailing party(ies) in any such action shall be entitled to recover from the
other party(ies) all of its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses relating to
such action or proceeding and/or incurred in connection with the preparation
therefor.
9.5 Waiver, Etc. The failure of the Company or the Holder to at any time
enforce any of the provisions of this Warrant shall not be deemed or construed
to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any way affect the validity of
this Warrant or any provision hereof or the right of the Company or any Holder
to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this Warrant. No waiver of any
breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment of any of the provisions of this
Warrant shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument executed by
the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought;
and no waiver of any such breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment shall be
construed or deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach,
non-compliance or non-fulfillment.

by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder hereof.
9.7 Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in
the case of such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity
agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or in the
case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company,
at its expense will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like
tenor.
9.8 Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the office of
the Company, for new Warrants of like tenor of different denominations
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to
represent the right to purchase such number of shares (at the Exercise Price
therefor) as shall be designated by the holder hereof at the time of such
surrender.
10
9.9 Transfer or Exchange Without Registration. If, at the time of the
surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer or exchange of this
Warrant and this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder) shall not be registered under the Act and under applicable
state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of

may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable
state securities or blue sky laws (the cost of which shall be borne by the
Company if the Company's counsel renders such an opinion), and (ii) that the
Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in
