or state of facts relating to the Company, in each case which is material to the
Company (any such negotiation, step, event or state of facts being herein called
a "Material Activity"), (ii) such Material Activity would, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company reasonably acceptable to Buyer, require disclosure so as
to permit the Registrable Warrant Shares to be sold in compliance with

counsel), joint or several, to which the Buyer or any such director,
Affiliate or officer or participating or controlling person may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with or as
a result of a sale by the Buyer of the Registrable Warrant Shares,

related actions or proceedings) arise out of or are based upon (i) any
untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary
prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement, or any document incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement, or (ii) any omission to
state in any such document a material fact required to be stated in any
such document or necessary to make the statements in any such document
not misleading, and the Company will reimburse the Buyer and each such
director, Affiliate, officer, participating person and controlling
person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense (or action or proceeding in respect of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense) which arises out of or
is based upon an untrue statement or omission made in the Registration
Statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary
prospectus, amendment or supplement except for any untrue statement or
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written

Affiliate, officer, participating person or controlling person for use
in the preparation of the Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on
-9-

manner and to the same extent as set forth in clause (i) of this

Statement, but only to the extent that such statement or omission was
made in direct reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by the Buyer for use in the preparation of the
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by

Warrant Shares by the Buyer.

delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any party, until the first anniversary of
the Closing Date (the "Survival Date"). No action may be brought with respect to

such claim, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the loss suffered. The
provisions of this Section 9.1 shall have no effect upon any of the covenants of
the parties set forth in Article V or any of the other obligations of the
parties hereto under the Agreement, whether to be performed later, at or after

9.2 Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify, defend,
and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of
action, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively, "Damages"), asserted
against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by Buyer, directly or
indirectly, by reason of or resulting from any breach by the Company of any of
its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this
Agreement or in any
-15-
certificate, instrument, or document delivered pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company's indemnity obligations
hereunder (i) will not extend to Damages arising out of negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud of the Buyer, and (ii) with respect to indemnification
claims under this Section 9.2 (other than, for each of (i) and (ii), Damages
related to the ability of the Buyer to exercise the Warrants, receive the
Warrant Shares, effect the registration of the Warrant Shares or sell the
Warrant Shares), the Company's indemnification obligations (x) for a period of
two (2) years following the Closing, shall not arise until the aggregate claims
resulting from the breach exceed $1,000,000, at which time such indemnity
obligations shall cover all claims, and (y) after two (2) years following the
Closing, shall not arise until the aggregate claims during such period resulting
from the breach exceed $10,000,000, at which time such indemnity obligations
shall cover all claims.
9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless the Company from and against any and all Damages asserted against,
resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Company, directly or indirectly,
by reason of or resulting from any breach by Buyer of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this
Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, or document delivered pursuant
hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer's
indemnity obligations hereunder (i) will not extend to Damages arising out of
negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Company, and (ii) with respect to
indemnification claims under this Section 9.3, the Buyer's indemnification
obligations (x) for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, shall not
arise until the aggregate claims resulting from the breach exceed $1,000,000, at
which time such indemnity obligations shall cover all claims, and (y) after two
(2) years following the Closing, shall not arise until the aggregate claims
during such period resulting from the breach exceed $10,000,000, at which time
such indemnity obligations shall cover all claims.
9.4 Procedure for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under Section 9.2 or 9.3 of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give written notice to
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to
any indemnified party except to the extent the indemnifying party demonstrates
that the defense of such action is prejudiced thereby. In case any such action
shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give written notice
to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of
such action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the
indemnifying party elects not to assume (or fails to assume) the defense of such
action, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such
action with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the indemnifying party.
If the action is asserted against both the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party and there is a conflict of interests which renders it
inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be
-16-
responsible for paying for separate counsel for the indemnified party; provided,
however, that if there is more than one indemnified party, the indemnifying
party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of
attorneys to represent the indemnified parties, regardless of the number of
indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect
to any compromise or settlement of any action effected without its written
consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

CRESCENT OPPORTUNITY CORP.
([Incorporated] under the laws of the State of [Delaware])
Void after 5:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia, local time,
on [June 30], 2001
No. ___ Right to Purchase
[_______] Shares
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Magellan Health Services,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Holder"), or registered assigns, is entitled
to purchase from Crescent Opportunity Corp., a [Delaware corporation] (the
"Company"), at any time or from time to time during the period specified in
Paragraph 2 hereof, ([______]) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $___ per share (the "Common Stock"), at an
exercise price per share of $ ___ (the "Exercise Price"). The term "Warrant
Shares", as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder. The Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment
as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof.
This Warrant, together with all warrants issued upon transfer, exchange
or in replacement hereof pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof (collectively, the
"Warrants"), is issued pursuant to, and is
- 24 -
subject to all terms, provisions, and conditions contained in, that certain
Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated April [___], 1997 (the "Purchase Agreement'),
by and between the Company and the Holder. This Warrant is subject to the
following additional terms, provisions, and conditions:
12. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
Subject to the provisions hereof and the provisions of the Purchase Agreement
which restrict the exercise of the Warrants, this Warrant may be exercised by
the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant,
together with a completed Exercise Agreement in the form attached hereto, to the
Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company's
principal office in Atlanta, Georgia (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), during the Exercise
Period (as defined in Paragraph 2), and upon payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in said Exercise Agreement,
which such payment shall be made in cash or by certified or official bank check.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares upon any
exercise of the Warrant, but instead shall pay to the holder of this Warrant the
cash value of any such fractional Warrant Shares. The Warrant Shares so
purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or its designee as
the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which
this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement
delivered, and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the
Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in said Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof
within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten business days, after this Warrant
shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such
denominations as may be reasonably requested by the holder hereof, shall, unless
the Warrant Shares evidenced by such certificate have previously been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), be
imprinted with a restrictive legend substantially similar to the legend
appearing on the face of this Warrant, and shall be registered in the name of
said holder or such other name as shall be designated by said holder. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has
expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of said
certificates, deliver to said holder a new Warrant representing the number of
shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised,
which Warrant shall be imprinted on its face with the same legend appearing on
the face of this Warrant. The Company shall pay all taxes and other expenses and
charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of
stock certificates (and any new Warrants) pursuant to this Paragraph 1 except
that, in case such stock certificates shall be registered in a name or names
other than the holder of this Warrant, funds sufficient to pay all stock
transfer taxes which shall be payable in connection with the execution and
delivery of such stock certificates shall be paid by the holder hereof to the
Company at the time of the delivery of such stock certificates by the Company as
mentioned above.
13. Period of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement which restrict the exercise of the Warrants, this Warrant is
exercisable at any time or from time to time during the period commencing at
9:00 a.m. Dallas, Texas, local time, on [ ] and ending at 5:00 p.m.
Dallas, Texas, local time, on [ ] (the "Exercise Period").
- 25 -
14. Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of
certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and
in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of
this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this
Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and
purpose of this Warrant.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(i) the Company will not increase the par value of the shares
of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise
Price then in effect,
(ii) before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
reducing the Exercise Price below the then par value of the shares of Common
Stock so receivable, the Company will take all such corporate action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise
Price upon the exercise of this Warrant, or
(iii) 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 issuable after the action upon the exercise of this Warrant would exceed
the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's
charter and available for other than the purpose of issue upon such exercise.
15. Anti-dilution Provisions. The Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Paragraph 4. Upon each
adjustment of the Exercise Price, the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the
largest number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. For
purposes of this Paragraph 4, the term "Capital Stock," as used herein, includes
the Common Stock and any additional class of stock of the Company having no
preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation which may be
authorized in the future by an amendment to the Company's charter, provided that
the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only shares of
Common Stock, or shares resulting from any subdivision or combination of the
Common Stock, or in the case of any reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, or sale of the character referred to in this Paragraph 4,
the stock or other securities or property provided for in this Paragraph 4.
(a) Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time the Company
shall (i) subdivide the outstanding shares of Capital Stock into a greater
number of shares, or (ii) combine the outstanding shares of Capital Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect
- 26 -
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted proportionately so that the adjusted
Exercise Price shall bear the same relation to the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such event as the total number of shares of Capital Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such event shall bear to the total number of
shares of Capital Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Such
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the effective date of a
subdivision or combination.
(b) Stock Dividends. In case the Company at any time after the date
hereof shall declare, order, pay or make any dividend or other distribution to
all holders of the Capital Stock payable in Capital Stock, then in each such
case, subject to Paragraph 4(d) hereof, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of
holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution shall be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest .001 of a
cent) determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution,
and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Capital Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.
Such adjustment shall be made on the date such dividend is paid or such
distribution is made and shall become effective retroactive to the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution.
(c) Dividends other than Stock Dividends. In case the Company at any
time after the date hereof shall declare, order, pay or make any dividend or
other distribution to all holders of the Capital Stock, other than a dividend
payable in shares of Capital Stock (including, without limitation, dividends or
distributions payable in cash, evidences of indebtedness, rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any Capital Stock or other securities, or
any other securities or other property), then, and in each such case, subject to
Paragraph 4(d) hereof, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall
be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest .001 of a cent) determined by
multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which shall be the "Market Price" (as
defined below) in effect on such record date or, if any class of Capital Stock
trades on an ex-dividend basis, the trading date immediately prior to the date
of commencement of ex-dividend trading, less the value of such dividend or
distribution (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company) applicable to one share of Capital Stock, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Market Price on
such record date of, if any class of Capital Stock trades on an ex-dividend
basis, the trading date immediately prior to the date of commencement of
ex-dividend trading.
- 27 -
Such adjustment shall be made on the date such dividend is paid or such
distribution is made and shall become effective retroactive to the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution.
For the purpose hereof, "Market Price" shall mean, on any date
specified herein, (A) if any class of Capital Stock is listed or admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange, the highest price obtained by
taking the arithmetic mean over a period of 20 consecutive days on which such
national securities exchange (or if such stock is traded on more than one
national securities exchange, the exchange the Company has designated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to receive copies of reports filed by the
Company under such act) is open for trading on a regular basis (any such day is
a "Trading Day") ending the Trading Day immediately prior to such date of the
average, on each such Trading Day, of the high and low sale prices of shares of
each such class of Capital Stock or if no such sale takes place on such date,
the average of the highest closing bid and lowest closing asked prices thereof
on such date, in each case as officially reported on all national securities
exchanges on which each such class of Capital Stock is then listed or admitted
to trading, or (B) if no shares of any class of Capital Stock are then listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the highest closing
price of any class of Capital Stock on such date in the over-the-counter market
as shown by the NASDAQ National Market System or, if no such shares of any class
of Capital Stock are then quoted in such system, as published by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. or any similar successor organization, and in either case
as reported by any member firm of the New York Stock Exchange selected by the
Company. If no shares of any class of Capital Stock are then listed or admitted
to trading on any national securities exchange and if no closing bid and asked
prices thereof are then so quoted or published in the over-the-counter market,
"Market Price" shall mean the higher of (x) the book value per share of Capital
Stock (assuming for the purposes of this calculation the economic equivalence of
all shares of all class of Capital Stock) as determined on a fully diluted basis
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by the Board of
Directors of the Company as of the last day of any month ending within 60 days
preceding the date as of which the determination is to be made or (y) the fair
value per share of classes of Capital Stock (assuming for the purposes of this
calculation the economic equivalence of all shares of all classes of Capital
Stock), as determined on a fully diluted basis in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company, as of a date which is 15 days preceding the date as of
which the determination is to be made.
(d) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. If the amount of any
adjustment of the Exercise Price required pursuant to this Paragraph 4 would be
less than one percent (1%) of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such
adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried
forward and adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together
with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other
amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one percent (1%)
of such Exercise Price; provided that, upon the exercise of this Warrant, all
adjustments carried forward and not theretofore made up to and including the
date of such exercise shall, with respect to the portion of this Warrant then
exercised, be made to the nearest .001 of a cent.
- 28 -
(e) Fundamental Change Transaction. In case at any time after the date
hereof a purchase, tender, or exchange offer shall have been made to and
accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Capital
Stock, or the Company is otherwise a party to any transaction (including,
without limitation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all
the Company's assets, liquidation, or recapitalization of the Capital Stock)
which is to be effected in such a way that as a result of such transaction or
offer (x) the holders of Common Stock (or any other securities of the Company
then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to receive
stock or other securities or property (including cash) with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock (or such other securities), or (y) the Capital Stock
has been and thereafter ceases to be a publicly traded security either listed on
the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National
Market System or any successor thereto or comparable system (each such
transaction being herein called a "Fundamental Change Transaction"), then, as a
condition of such Fundamental Change Transaction, lawful and adequate provision
shall be made whereby the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right
to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
specified in this Warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or such
other securities) purchasable immediately before such transaction upon the
exercise hereof, such stock or other securities or property (including cash) as
may be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock (or such other securities) equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock (or such other securities) purchasable
immediately before such transaction upon the exercise hereof, had such
Fundamental Change Transaction not taken place. In any such case appropriate
provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder
of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitation, the provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise hereof) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to the stock or other
securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof
(including an immediate adjustment of the Exercise Price if by reason of or in
connection with such Fundamental Change Transaction any securities are issued or
event occurs which would, under the terms hereof, require an adjustment of the
Exercise Price). In the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into another corporation or entity as a result of which a greater or lesser
number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation or entity are
issuable to holders of Capital Stock in respect of the number of shares of
Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to such consolidation or merger,
then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation or
merger shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were a subdivision
or combination of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock. The Company shall not
effect any such Fundamental Change Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously
with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than
the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or
entity purchasing such assets and any other corporation or entity the shares of
stock or other securities or property of which are receivable thereupon by the
holder of this Warrant shall expressly assume, by written instrument executed
and delivered (and satisfactory in form) to the holder of this Warrant, (i) the
obligation to deliver to such holder such stock or other securities or property
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to
purchase and (ii) all other obligations of the Company hereunder.
- 29 -
(f) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event requiring an
adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall
promptly deliver to the holder of this Warrant a notice stating the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon
which such calculation is based. Within 90 days after each fiscal year in which
any such adjustment shall have occurred, or within 30 days after any request
therefor by the holder of this Warrant stating that such holder contemplates
exercise of this Warrant, the Company will deliver to the holder of this Warrant
a certificate of the Company's chief financial officer confirming the statements
in the most recent notice delivered under this Paragraph 4(f).
(g) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare or pay to all the holders
of Capital Stock any dividend (whether payable in Capital Stock, cash,
securities or other property);
(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to
all the holders of Capital Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or
other rights;
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization, or
reclassification of the Capital Stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger
of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all its assets to, another
corporation or other entity;
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation, or winding-up of the Company; or
(v) there shall be any other Fundamental Change
Transaction;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the holder of
this Warrant (a) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the record date
established or related to any event referred to in clause (i) - (v) above
(which, for purposes of events referred to in clauses (i) - (v) above, shall be
the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be
taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining
rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, or
Transaction) notice of such record date and (b) in the case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, winding-up, or Transaction known to the Company, at least 30 days
prior written notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable
approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) shall also specify, in the
case of any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, the date on
which such holders of Capital Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice
in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the date on which
such holders of Capital Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Capital Stock
for securities
- 30 -
or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, or
Transaction, as the case may be. Such notice shall also state that the action in
question or the record date is subject to the effectiveness of a registration
statement under the Securities Act, or to a favorable vote of security holders,
if either is required.
(h) Certain Events. If any event occurs as to which, in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, the other provisions of this
Paragraph 4 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not
fairly protect the exercise rights of the holder of this Warrant in accordance
with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of
Directors of the Company shall make such adjustment, if any, on a basis
consistent with such essential intent and principles, necessary to preserve,
without dilution, the rights of the holder of this Warrant; provided, that no
such adjustment shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Paragraph 4.
16. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this
Warrant or such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof, provided 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 warrant or
certificate in a name other than the holder of this Warrant.
17. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not
entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder
of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative
action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
18. Transfer, Exchange, and Replacement of Warrant; Registration
Rights.
(a) Restrictions on Transfer of Warrants. This Warrant shall not be
transferable to any person or entity other than a wholly-owned affiliate of the
Holder or as permitted under the Purchase Agreement. The transfer of this
Warrant to a wholly-owned affiliate or other transferee permitted under the
Purchase Agreement and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, is registrable
at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Paragraph 7(e) hereof by
the holder hereof in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender
of this Warrant properly endorsed. Upon any transfer of this Warrant to any
wholly-owned affiliate or other permitted transferee, other than a wholly-owned
affiliate or other permitted transferee who is at that time a holder of other
Warrants, the Company shall have the right to require the holder and the
affiliate or other transferee to make customary representations to the extent
reasonably necessary to assure that the transfer will comply with the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws. Each holder of this Warrant, by
taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, then endorsed
in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this
Warrant shall have been so endorsed, may be treated by the Company and all other
persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner and
- 31 -
holder hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights
represented by this Warrant and to the registration of transfer hereof on the
books of the Company; but until due presentment for registration of transfer on
such books the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the owner and
holder hereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the office or
agency of the Company referred to in Paragraph 7(e) hereof, for new Warrants of
like tenor 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 be imprinted with the same legend appearing on the face of this
Warrant and to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be
designated by said holder hereof at the time of such surrender. For purposes
hereof, the term "Warrant" shall be deemed to include any and all such
replacement Warrants, whether issued pursuant to this subparagraph (b) or any
other Paragraph hereof.
(c) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any 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 any such 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.
(d) Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in
this Paragraph 7, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The
Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities transfer taxes) and all other
expenses and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and
delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Paragraph 7.
(e) Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal office in
Dallas, Texas (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate
by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the
Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this
Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and
each prior owner of this Warrant.
(f) Registration Rights. The issuance of any Warrant Shares
required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant and the resale
of such Warrant Shares are entitled to the benefits of the registration rights
set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
19. Notices. All notices, requests, and other communications
required or permitted to be given or delivered hereunder to the holder of this
Warrant shall be in writing, and shall be personally delivered, or shall be sent
by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and addressed, to such holder
at the address shown for such holder on the books of the Company, or at such
other
- 32 -
address as shall have been furnished to the Company by notice from such holder.
All notices, requests, and other communications required or permitted to be

prepaid and addressed, to the office of the Company at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx
0000, Xxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at such other
address as shall have been furnished to the holder of this Warrant by notice
from the Company. Any such notice, request, or other communication may be sent
by telegram or telex, but shall in such case be subsequently confirmed by a
writing personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail as provided
above. All notices, requests, and other communications shall be deemed to have
been given either at the time of the delivery thereof to (or the receipt by, in
the case of a telegram or telex) the person entitled to receive such notice at
the address of such person for purposes of this Paragraph 8, or, if mailed, at
the completion of the third full day following the time of such mailing thereof
to such address, as the case may be.
20. GOVERNING LAW. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF DELAWARE,
WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.
21. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the
holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the
Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this
Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be
specifically enforced by a decree for the specific enforcement of any agreement
contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms
hereof or otherwise.
22. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments. This Warrant and any provision hereof may not be
changed, waived, discharged, or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party (or any predecessor in interest thereof) against
which enforcement of the same is sought.
(b) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several
paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for purposes of reference only, and
shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
(c) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant shall, to the extent provided
in Section 4(e), be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger,
consolidation, or acquisition of all or substantially all the Company's assets.
