RECITALS
WHEREAS, Grantor desires to grant to Holder and Holder desires to
obtain a Warrant (the or each "Warrant") to acquire from Grantor shares of Class
B Common Stock of Grantor (the "Shares"); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to document their understanding
regarding the Warrant to purchase the Shares,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant of Warrant. For and in consideration of the purchase of
___________ shares of Class B Common Stock as part of a Unit of which the
Warrant to acquire the Shares is a part, Grantor hereby grants to Holder
_____________ Warrants. Each Warrant carries a right to acquire one Class B
Share from Grantor at the price of $1.10 per Share, subject to adjustment. Each
Warrant is subject to adjustment in certain events, namely stock dividends,
stock splits, mergers, sale of substantially all of the Grantor's assets, and
for other extraordinary events in which additional shares of Class B Common
Stock of the Grantor are issued in a transaction not involving cash
consideration. The adjustment will be by increasing or decreasing the amount of
Shares subject to each Warrant in the same proportion as the increase or
decrease in additional shares of Class B Common Stock of the Grantor
outstanding, fully diluted, after such transaction.
2. Exercise of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be exercisable at any time,
in whole or in part at any time prior to midnight, Pacific Daylight Time,
January 31, 2002. The Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of the Warrant by Affiliates and Non-Affiliates will be restricted
securities, and in the future may be sold under Rule 144. Rule 144 provides, in
essence, that a person holding restricted securities for a period of one (1)
year may sell every three (3) months, in brokerage transactions and/or market
maker transactions, an amount equal to the greater of (a) one percent (1%) of
the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Stock or (b) the average weekly
trading volume of the Common Stock during the four (4) calendar weeks prior to
such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of
shares without any quantity limitation by a person who is not an Affiliate of
the Corporation and who has satisfied a two (2) year holding period. The
Warrants and all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant will
bear a restrictive legend and be subject to stop transfer instructions
consistent with the foregoing.
3. Expiry Date. The Warrant expires at midnight, Pacific Daylight Time,
January 31, 2002. The Grantor may at his sole discretion extend the expiry date
of the Warrant.
4. Method of Exercise. The Warrant shall be exercisable by a written
request signed by an authorized representative of Holder or his assigns which
shall (a) state Holder's election to exercise the Warrant; (b) the person in
whose name the certificate for such Shares is to be registered, his address and
social security number; (c) be delivered in person or by certified mail to
Grantor or Warrant Agent, if any.
5. Assignability of Warrant. If sold as part of a unit, the Warrant may
be detached from the Unit. Whether sold as a unit or not, the Warrant may be
assigned or sold by Holder at any time during the term of the Warrant, subject
to any resale limitations set forth in paragraph 2 above, by providing to
Grantor (a) a written notice of such assignment, (b) clearly identifying the
assignee or the purchaser with his name, his address and social security number;
(c) be delivered in person or by certified mail to Grantor or Warrant Agent, if
any.
6. Representations and Warranties of Grantor. Upon exercise of the
Warrant in full by Holder or his assigns, the Shares underlying the Warrant
shall be free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances. Grantor
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Holder in connection with any claim, loss,
damage or expense, including attorneys' fees, trial and appellate levels, in
connection with any breach of the foregoing.

warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein shall be continuous and
shall survive the termination of this Agreement or any part thereof.
