the holder upon exercise thereof to acquire one share of common stock, with no
par value ("Common Stock"), of Fundex. The Warrants shall be substantially in

conditions hereof, Fundex hereby agrees to sell to the Partnership, and the
Partnership hereby agree to purchase the Warrants.
2.3 Exercise Price; Amount. The price per Share at which
Shares shall be purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants (the "Warrant
Exercise Price") is one hundred twenty percent (120%) multiplied by the IPO
Price per Share; provided, however, that if there is no IPO on or before August

have the right to exercise any Warrant, if in the Company's opinion the
delivery of Shares upon exercise of such Warrant would not comply with any
applicable federal or state securities laws. Without limiting the foregoing,
Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Partnership in
any state in which such exercise would be unlawful.
3. CLOSING AND DELIVERIES.

Closing and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Fundex shall deliver to
the Partnership the Warrants to be purchased by the Partnership, dated the date

to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction where the nature of its activities and properties makes such

4
5
constitute a Material Adverse Event. Effective as of August 28, 1996, Third
Quarter, Inc. was merged with and into Fundex, Inc., and each act required to
be taken by or on the part of such companies to effectuate such merger has been
duly and properly taken on. Fundex does not own any equity interest in or have

and outstanding shares of the Fundex's capital stock, and all Securities
issuable pursuant hereto and outstanding immediately after the Closing,
have been duly authorized and, when issued and sold for the consideration set
forth in this Agreement, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,

bankruptcy, insolvency, relief of debtors' and creditors' rights generally, and
limitations of public policy.

authorizations, rights and privileges (except that no covenant, representation
or warranty is made pursuant to this Section with respect to the Intellectual

"Licenses") that are necessary to the operation of the Business, the lack of
which would constitute a Material Adverse Event. Such Licenses are in full
force and effect, Fundex has not received or given any notice of a violation
(nor is it aware of any basis therefor) in respect of any such Licenses, and no
proceeding is pending or threatened seeking the revocation or limitation of any
of such Licenses.

adversely affect, or in the future shall materially and adversely affect, the
Business.

to Fundex, except for such breaches or violations that would not constitute a
Material Adverse Event.
4.10 Litigation, etc. There are no actions, proceedings,
investigations, orders, judgments or decrees pending or, to Fundex's knowledge,
threatened, against Fundex that question the validity of this Agreement or any
action taken or to be taken in connection herewith or that, either individually

it will not sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose

Fundex of the proposed Transfer, provided such additional information regarding

the Partnership's expense provided Fundex with an opinion of counsel (which
counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to Fundex) to the Partnership, in form

7.1 Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price shall be made in cash or by check, or any combination thereof.
7.2 Issuance of Certificate. Upon such surrender of the
Warrants and payment of such Exercise Price, the Company shall issue and cause
to be delivered to the Partnership and in the Partnership's name, a certificate
or certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of
the Warrant, together with cash, as provided herein, in respect of any
fractional Share otherwise issuable upon such surrender. Such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated
to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
securities as of the date of surrender of the Warrants and payment of the
Exercise Price, as aforesaid, notwithstanding that the certificate or
certificates representing such securities shall not actually have been
delivered. The Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the
Partnership, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that
a certificate evidencing the Warrants is exercised in respect of less than all
of the Shares specified therein at any time prior to the Termination Date, a
new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the Warrants will 106 be
issued by the Company.
7.3 Registration. The Warrants shall be numbered and
shall be registered on the books of the Company when issued.
7.4 Certificates. The Warrants may be divided or
combined, upon request to the Company by the Partnership, into a certificate or
certificates representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of
Shares. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Partnership" shall
include any transferee or transferees of the Warrants.
7.5 Form of Warrants. The text of the Warrants shall be
substantially as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, respectively. The
number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, all as hereinafter provided.
The Warrants shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President or by
a Vice President and attested to by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. A
Warrant bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the proper
officer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such
individual shall have ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such
Warrant or did not hold such office on the date of this Agreement.
11
12
7.6 Exchange of Warrant Certificate. Any Warrant
certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling
the Partnership to purchase a like aggregate number of Shares as the
certificate or certificates surrendered then entitled such Partnership to
purchase. Any holder of a Warrant desiring to exchange a Warrant certificate
shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall
surrender, properly endorsed, with signatures guaranteed if required by the
Company, the certificate evidencing the Warrant to be so exchanged. Thereupon,
the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new
Warrant certificate as so requested.
8. PAYMENT OF TAXES.
The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable
to the initial issuance of the Warrants or the securities comprising the
Shares; provided, however, the company shall not be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer of the Warrants or the
securities comprising the Shares.
9. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANTS.
In case the certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrants shall
be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at the request of
the Partnership, issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of the mutilated certificate or certificates, or in lieu of and
substitution for the certificate or certificates lost, stolen or destroyed, a
new Warrant certificate or certificates of like tenor and representing an
equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant and a bond of
indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory in form and amount, at the
applicant's cost. Applicants for such substitute Warrant certificate shall
also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other
reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
10. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep
reserved so long as the Warrants remain outstanding, out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
subject to purchase under the Warrants.
12
13
11. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES.
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the
Warrants and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
11.1 Adjustments. The number of Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Splits; Stock Dividends. In case the
Company shall (i) pay a dividend in Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its
outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of
its Common Stock other securities of the Company, then the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior thereto shall be
adjusted so that the Partnership shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of
the Warrant the kind and number of Shares or other securities of the Company
which he, she or it would have owned or would have been entitled to receive
immediately after the happening of any of the events described above, had the
Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any
record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
subsection shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
event, retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(b) Corresponding Adjustment of Exercise Price.
Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the
Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior
to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such
108 adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares so
purchasable immediately thereafter.
(c) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant is adjusted as herein
provided, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Partnership or holder of
record within a reasonable time thereafter notice of such adjustment setting
forth the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant after
such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and
the computation by which such adjustment was made.
11.2 No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in
subsection 11.1(a), no adjustment in respect of any dividends or distributions
out of earnings shall be made during the term of the Warrants or upon the
exercise of the Warrants.
13
14
11.3 Preservation of Purchase Rights upon
Reclassification, Consolidation, etc.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section, in
case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into
another corporation where the Company will not be the surviving corporation, or
in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property,
assets or business of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety (any such event referred to as a "Merger or Sale"), the Company or
such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall agree that
the Partnership shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase, upon exercise of
the Warrants, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property
which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening
of such Merger or Sale had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to
such action. Any such agreements referred to in this subsection shall provide
for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to
the adjustments provided for in this Section. The provisions of this
subsection shall similarly apply to successive Mergers or Sales.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if
the surviving, successor or purchasing corporation does not agree to the
provisions set forth in paragraph (a) above, or if the Board of Directors of
the Company determines that the Warrants should not be outstanding following
consummation of such Merger or Sale, then the Company shall deliver a notice to
each Partnership at least twenty (20) days before the consummation of such
Merger or Sale, the Partnership may exercise the Warrants at any time before
the consummation of such Merger or Sale (and such exercise may be made
contingent upon the consummation of such Merger or Sale), and any Warrants that
have not been exercised before consummation of such Merger or Sale shall
terminate and expire, and shall no longer be outstanding.
11.4 Independent Public Accountants. The Company may
retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing
(which may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any
computation required under this Section, and a certificate signed by such firm
shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under
this Section.
11.5 Statement on Warrant Certificates. Irrespective of
any adjustments in the number of securities issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, Warrant certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to
express the same number of securities as are stated in the similar Warrant
certificates initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement. However, the
Company may, at any time in its sole discretion (which shall
14
15
be conclusive), make any change in the form of Warrant certificate that it may
deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any
Warrant certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration of transfer
of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Warrant certificate, may
be in the form so changed.
12. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares on the
exercise of the Warrants. If any fraction of a Share would, except for the
provisions of this Section, be issuable on the exercise of the Warrants (or
specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to
the amount of such fractional interest.
13. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER; NOTICES TO PARTNERSHIP.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Warrants shall be
construed as conferring upon the Partnership or his, her or its transferees any
rights as a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote, receive
dividends, consent or receive notices as a shareholder in respect of any
meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any
other matter.
14. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
The Partnership agrees that prior to making any sale, transfer,
pledge, assignment, hypothecation, or other disposition (each, a "Transfer") of
the Warrants or Shares, the Partnership shall give written notice to the
Company describing the manner in which any such proposed Transfer is to be made
and providing such additional information regarding the Transfer as the Company
reasonably requests. If the Company so requests, the Partnership shall at its
expense provide the Company with an opinion of counsel (which counsel must be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the holder, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, that the proposed Transfer complies with 110
applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company shall have no
obligation to Transfer any Securities unless the holder thereof has complied
with the foregoing provisions, and any such attempted Transfer shall be null
and void.
15. LOCK-UP AGREEMENT.
In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations
hereunder, the Partnership agrees, in connection with the IPO and upon the

the registration), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, without the prior
written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the

registration as the Company or the underwriters may specify (such period
not to exceed 365 days). The Partnership agrees to execute and deliver such
documentation as may be reasonably required by the underwriters in connection
with this Section. This restriction shall not apply to a registration relating

be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in the Warrant
Agreement.
The Warrants evidenced hereby may be exercised in whole or in part by

this Warrant Certificate properly endorsed for one or more new Warrants of the
same aggregate number of Shares as here evidenced by the Warrant or Warrants

upon the exercise of one or more Warrants. These Warrants are transferable at
the office of the Company in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in the Warrant Agreement.
