STAR STRUCK, LTD.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Warrant No. 1 Dated: August 7, 2000
Star Struck, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby
certifies that, for value received, ________________________, or his or her
registered assigns ("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company up to a total of _______________ shares of
common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company
(each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares")
at an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section 7, the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from time to time
from and after the date hereof
and through and including July 31, 2005 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to
the following terms and conditions:
1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon
records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by
notice to the contrary.
2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
(a) The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this
Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form
of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent
or to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 10. Upon any
such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a "New Warrant"),
evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant
not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the
Holder to the office of the Company at its address for notice set forth in
Section 12 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right
to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder.
Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.
2
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any
business day before 5:00 P.M., New York City time, at any time and from time to
time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00
P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not
exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. Prior to the
Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant
without the prior written consent of the Holder.
(b) Upon delivery of a duly completed and signed Form of Election to
Purchase attached hereto to the Company at its address for notice set forth in
Section 12 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner
provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to
Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 3 business days
after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein) issue or cause to be issued and
cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such
name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends except (i) either in
the event that a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant
Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then
effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been
issued pursuant to a written agreement between the original Holder and the
Company, as required by such agreement. Any person so designated by the Holder
to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of
such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.
3
A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Company shall have
received (i) the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to
such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of
the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the holder
hereof to be purchased.
(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or,
from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than
all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are
exercised at any time, the Company shall issue, or cause to be issued, at its
expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
4. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this
Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration
of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of
the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant
Shares upon exercise hereof.
5. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and
substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and
indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under
such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
4
procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
6. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it
will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the
number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account
the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7). The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance
and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms
hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
7. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from
time to time as set forth in this Section 7. Upon each such adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Holder shall thereafter prior to
the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
(i) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions
on shares of its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a
5
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to
this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive subdivisions and
combinations.
(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder
shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or
property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been
entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange. The terms of any such reclassification or
share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder
the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 7(b)
upon any exercise following any such reclassification or share exchange.
(c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders of this
Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in Sections
7(a), (b) and (d)),
6
then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price determined as of
the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such
Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value at such
record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by
the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examines
the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser").
(d) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable with
respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants,
options or other securities or debt that is convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents"), entitling any person to
acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Exercise Price
(if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at
any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions,
floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to
warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled
to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Exercise Price, such
issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price),
then, at the sole option of the Holder, either (1) the Exercise Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Common
Stock or such Common Stock Equivalents plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the offering price for such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents
7
would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the
sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable or
(2) the Exercise Price shall be replaced with the conversion exchange or
purchase price for such Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions
thereof), provided, that for purposes hereof, all shares of Common Stock that
are issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of Common Stock Equivalents
shall be deemed outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents are issued. However, upon the expiration of any Common Stock
Equivalents the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Exercise
Price pursuant to this Section, if any such Common Stock Equivalents shall
expire and shall not have been exercised, the Exercise Price shall immediately
upon such expiration be recomputed and effective immediately upon such
expiration be increased to the price which it would have been (but reflecting
any other adjustments in the Exercise Price made pursuant to the provisions of
this Section after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents) had the
adjustment of the Exercise Price made upon the issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only
that number of shares of the Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise
of such Common Stock Equivalents actually exercised.
(e) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than one-half of the
assets of the Company (on a book value basis) in one or a series of related
transactions, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to (A) exercise this
Warrant for the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property
receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
merger,
8
consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event or
series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property
as the Common Stock for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately
prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (B) in
the case of a merger or consolidation, (x) require the surviving entity to issue
common stock purchase warrants equal to the number Warrant Shares to which this
Warrant then permits, which newly warrant shall be identical to this Warrant,
and (y) simultaneously with the issuance of such warrant, shall have the right
to exercise such warrant only into shares of stock and other securities, cash
and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
following such merger or consolidation. In the case of clause (B), the exercise
price for such new warrant shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash
and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction
and the Exercise Price of this Warrant immediately prior to the effectiveness or
closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or
consolidation shall include such terms so as continue to give the Holder the
right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section
upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall
similarly apply to successive such events.
(f) For the purposes of this Section 7, the following clauses shall
also be applicable:
(i) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in securities
convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to subscribe for
or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares
of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the
issue or sale
9
of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
(ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for
the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(h) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 7(c)
above, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall
have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally
recognized accounting firm), in which case the adjustment shall be equal to the
average of the adjustments recommended by each of the Appraiser and such
appraiser. The Holder shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the Company,
a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such adjustment
shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(i) If:
(i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on its Common Stock; or (ii) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or (iii) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders the Common Stock rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class
or of rights; or (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be
required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of
all or
10
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange
whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property;
or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Company shall cause to be mailed
to each Holder at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Warrant
Register, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights
or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders
of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange
their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable
upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share
exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; provided, however, that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice.
9. Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable
by check or wire transfer on immediately available or New York ClearingHouse
funds.
9. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant
Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any
11
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in
cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
10. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective
on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (ii) the

Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to
the Company in accordance with this Section.
11. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under
this Warrant. Upon thirty days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a
new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant
agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to
which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
12
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last

irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts

any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit,
action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving
13
a copy thereof sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it
under this instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall
