Underwriters have agreed to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set

1,620,000 shares are being sold by the Company and 30,000 shares are being sold
by the selling stockholder listed in Schedule A of the Underwriting Agreement

the Company up to 247,500 additional shares of Common Stock (the "Additional
Common Stock"), pursuant to an option for the purpose of covering
over-allotments (said 1,650,000 shares of Common Stock plus any of said
Additional Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the option being herein
collectively called the "Stock"). The Stock and the terms upon which it is to be
offered for sale by the Underwriters are more particularly described in the
Prospectus.
1. The Stock is to be offered to the public by the Underwriters at a price
of $7.00 per share (herein called the "Public Offering Price") and in accordance
with the terms of the offering set forth in the Prospectus.

institutions ineligible for membership in said Association which agree (a) not
to resell Securities (i) to purchasers located in, or to persons who are
nationals of, the United States of America or (ii) when there is a public demand
for the Securities to persons specified as those to whom members of said
Association participating in a distribution may not sell; and (b) to comply, as
though such foreign dealer or institution were a member of such Association,
with Rules 2730 and 2750 of the NASD Conduct Rules (such dealers and
institutions agreeing to purchase Common Stock and/or Warrants hereunder being
hereinafter referred to as "Selected Dealers") at the Public Offering Price less
a selling

concession of $.____ per share, payable as hereinafter provided. The
Underwriters may be included among the Selected Dealers.

Agreement and shall have full authority to take such action as the
Representative may deem advisable in respect to all matters pertaining to the
public offering of the Stock.

reach us promptly by telephone or facsimile at the office of the Representative,
and we will use our best efforts to fill the same. We reserve the right to

the subscription books at any time without notice. The Stock allotted to you
will be confirmed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
5. The privilege of purchasing the Stock is extended to you by the
Representative only if the Underwriters may lawfully sell the Stock to dealers
in your state.
6. Any Stock purchased by you under the terms of this Agreement may be
immediately re-offered to the public in accordance with the terms of the
offering set forth herein and in the Prospectus, subject to the securities laws

authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection
with the sale of Stock other than as contained in the Prospectus.
7. This Agreement will terminate when we shall have determined that the
public offering of the Stock has been completed and upon telegraphic notice to
you of such termination, but, if not previously terminated, this Agreement will
terminate at the close of business on the 20th full business day after the date
hereof; provided, however, that we shall have the right to extend this Agreement
for an additional period or periods not exceeding 20 full business days in the
aggregate upon telegraphic notice to you. Promptly after the termination of this
Agreement there shall become payable to you the selling concession on all shares
of Stock which you shall have purchased hereunder and which shall not have been
purchased or contracted for (including certificates issued upon transfer) by us,
in the open market or otherwise (except pursuant to Section 10 hereof), during
the terms of this Agreement for the account of the Underwriters.
8. For the purpose of stabilizing the market in the Common Stock of the
Company, we have been authorized to make purchases and sales thereof, in the
open market or otherwise, and, in arranging for sale of the Stock, to
over-allot.
9. You agree to advise us from time to time, upon request, prior to the
termination of this Agreement, of the number of shares of Stock purchased by you
hereunder and remaining unsold at the time of such request, and, if in our
opinion any such Stock shall be needed to make delivery of the Stock sold or
over-allotted for the account of the Underwriters, you will, forthwith upon our
request, grant to us, or such party as we determine for, our account the right,
exercisable promptly after receipt of notice from you that such right has been
granted, to

representation as to the existence of an agency relationship otherwise to act on
our behalf in offering or selling the Stock to the public or otherwise.
15. We shall not be under any liability for or in respect of the value,

agreement on his part, or the qualification of the Stock for sale under the laws
of any jurisdiction, or for or in respect of any matter connected with this
Agreement, except for lack of good faith and for obligations expressly assumed
by us in this Agreement. The foregoing provisions shall be deemed a waiver of

Void after 5:00 p.m. New York Time, on ___________, 2002.
Warrant to Purchase __________ Shares of Common Stock
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
OF
RUSSIAN WIRELESS TELEPHONE COMPANY, INC.
This is to Certify That, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, X. X. Xxxxxxx & Co., Inc. or
assigns ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this
Warrant, from Russian Wireless Telephone Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Company"), _______________ (____) fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company ("Shares") at a
price of $11.55 per share at any time or from time to time during the period
from _____________ __, 1998 to ____________ __, 2002, but not later than 5:00
p.m. New York City Time, on ____________ __, 2002. The number of Shares to be
received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for each
Share may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The Shares
deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are
hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Shares" and the exercise price of
a Share in effect at any time and as adjusted from time to time is hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price." This Warrant, together with
warrants of like tenor, constituting in the aggregate warrants (the "Warrants")
to purchase 165,000 Shares, was originally issued pursuant to an underwriting
agreement between the Company and X. X. Xxxxxxx & Co., Inc., as Representative
of the Underwriters, in connection with a public offering through the
Underwriters of 1,650,000 Shares, in consideration of $10.00 received for the
Warrants.
(a) EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(1) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or
from time to time on or after ___________ ___, 1998 and until ____________ ___,
2002 (the "Exercise Period"), subject to the provisions of Section (j)(2)
hereof; provided, however, that (I) if either such day is a day on which banking
institutions in the State of New York are authorized by law to close, then on
the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day, and (ii) in the event of
any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all the assets of the Company
as an entirety, resulting in any distribution to the Company's stockholders,
prior to __________ ___, 2002, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this
Warrant commencing at such time through __________ __, 2002 into the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash)
receivable by a holder of the number of Shares into which this Warrant might
have been exercisable immediately prior thereto. This Warrant may be exercised
by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office, or
at
7
the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Purchase Form annexed
hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the
number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. As soon as practicable after
each such exercise of the Warrants, but not later than seven (7) days from the
date of such exercise (which exercise includes payment of the Exercise Price
relating thereto), the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a
certificate or certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be
exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable
thereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the
stock transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise,
the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Shares issuable
upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company
shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Shares hall not then
be physically delivered to the Holder.
(2) At any time during the Exercise Period, the Holder may, at its
option, exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part (a "Warrant Exchange"), into
the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with this Section (a)(2),
by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or at the
office of its stock transfer agent, accompanied by a notice stating such
Holder's intent to effect such exchange, the number of Warrant Shares to be
exchanged and the date on which the Holder requests that such Warrant Exchange
occur (the "Notice of Exchange"). The Warrant Exchange shall take place on the
date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of
Exchange is received by the Company or its stock transfer agent (the "Exchange
Date"). Certificates for the Shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if
applicable, a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the balance of the Shares
remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and
delivered to the Holder within seven (7) days following the Exchange Date. In
connection with any Warrant Exchange, this Warrant shall represent the right to
subscribe for and acquire the number of Warrant Shares (rounded to the next
highest integer) equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares specified by the
Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the "Total Number") less (ii) the number of
Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the
Total Number and the existing Exercise Price by (B) the current market value of
a Share. Current market value shall have the meaning set forth Section (c)
below, except that for purposes hereof, the date of exercise, as used in such
Section (c), shall mean the Exchange Date.
(b) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve for
issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of Shares as
shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants.
(c) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or script representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With
respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the
Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the current market value of a Share, determined as follows:
-2-
8
(1) If the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading
on The Nasdaq National Market, the current market value shall be the last
reported sale price of the Shares on such exchange or market on the last
business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is
made on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day
on such exchange or market; or
(2) If the Shares are not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges, but is traded on The Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the current Market
Value shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on
such market, and if the Shares are not so traded, the current market value shall
be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last business day prior to the date of the
exercise of this Warrant; or
(3) If the Shares are not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current market
value shall be an amount, not less than book value thereof as at the end of the
most recent fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date of the exercise
of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the
Board of Directors of the Company.
(d) EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This
Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon
presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock
transfer agent, if any, for other warrants of different denominations entitling
the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Shares
purchasable hereunder. This Warrant is not transferable (other than by will or
pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution and except as provided under
Subsection (a)( 1 )(ii) hereof) and may not be assigned or hypothecated for a
period of one year from ____________ __, 1997, except to and among the officers
of the Underwriters, any member of the selling group, or to and among the
officers of any member of the selling group; and after such one-year period,
such a transfer may occur providing the Warrant is exercised immediately upon
transfer, and if not exercised immediately on transfer, the Warrant shall lapse.
Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office or at the
office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed
hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company
shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the
assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly
be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants which
carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal office of the
Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof The term "Warrant" as used herein
includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or
destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver
a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any
-3-
9
such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant
so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone.
(e) RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
(f) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price in effect at any time and
the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain
events as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its outstanding Shares in Shares, (ii) subdivide or reclassify
its outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, or (iii) combine or
reclassify its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares, the Exercise
Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution
or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification
shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of
Shares of outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of
which shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such
action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.
(2) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the
product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
(3) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless
such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five cents
($0.05) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason
of this Subsection (3) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder.
All calculations under this Section (f) shall be made to the nearest cent or to
the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this
Section (f) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but
shall not be required, to make such changes in the Exercise Price, in addition
to those required by this Section (f), as it shall determine, in its sole
discretion, to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in
Shares, or any subdivision, reclassification or combination of Shares, hereafter
made by the Company shall not result in any Federal Income tax liability to the
holders of Shares or securities convertible into Shares (including Warrants).
-4-
10
(4) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the
Company shall promptly but no later than 10 days after any request for such an
adjustment by the Holder, cause a notice setting forth the adjusted Exercise
Price and adjusted number of Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, and,
if requested, information describing the transactions giving rise to such
adjustments, to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses appearing in
the Warrant Register, and shall cause a certified copy thereof to be mailed to
its transfer agent, if any. The Company may retain a firm of independent
certified public accountants selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the
regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any computation required by
this Section (f), and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive
evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
(5) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall
become entitled to receive any shares of the Company, other than Shares,
thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
Shares contained in Subsections (1) to (4), inclusive above.
(6) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the
number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in the similar Warrants initially
issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
as required by the provisions of the foregoing Section, the Company shall
forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its
principal office and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer's
certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as herein provided,
setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment,
including a statement of the number of additional Shares, if any, and such other
facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing
such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate shall be made available at all
reasonable times for inspection by the holder or any holder of a Warrant
executed and delivered pursuant to Section (a) and the Company shall, forthwith
after each such adjustment, mail a copy by certified mail of such certificate to
the Holder or any such holder.
(h) NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. So long as this Warrant shall be
outstanding, (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution
upon the Shares or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the holders of Shares for
subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any other rights or
(iii) if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of
the property and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be
effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed by
certified mail to the Holder, at least fifteen days prior the date
-5-
11
specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief
description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y)
such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of Shares or other securities shall receive
cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(i) RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding Shares
of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger
the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding Shares
of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale,
lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an
entirety, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause
effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right
thereafter by exercising this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of the
Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and
other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the
number of Shares which might have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section (i) shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and
changes of Shares and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such capital
reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
additional Shares shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or
payment, in whole or in part, for a security of the Company other than Shares,
any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Shares covered by the provisions
of Subsection (1) of Section (f) hereof.
(j) REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
(1) The Company shall advise the Holder of this Warrant or of the
Warrant Shares or any then holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares (such persons
being collectively referred to herein as "holders") by written notice at least
four weeks prior to the filing of any post-effective amendment to the Company's
Registration Statement No. 333-24177-NY on Form SB-2 ("Registration Statement"),
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on ___________ ___,
1997 ("Effective Date") or of any new registration statement or post-effective
amendment thereto under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") covering
securities of the Company and will for a period of six years, commencing one
year from the Effective Date, upon the request of any such holder, include in
any such post-effective amendment or registration statement such information as
may be required to permit a public offering of the
-6-
12
Warrants or the Warrant Shares. The Company shall supply prospectuses and other
documents as the Holder may request in order to facilitate the public sale or
other disposition of the Warrants or Warrant Shares, qualify the Warrants and
the Warrant Shares for sale in such states as any such holder designates and do
any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or desirable to enable
such Holders to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the Warrants
or Warrant Shares, and furnish indemnification in the manner as set forth in
Subsection (3)(C) of this Section (j). Such holders shall furnish information
and indemnification as set forth in Subsection (3)(C) of this Section (j),
except that the maximum amount which may be recovered from the Holder shall be
limited to the amount of proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of the
Warrants or Warrant Shares. The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement for at least 12 months following the Effective Date
thereof.
(2) If any majority holder (as defined in Subsection (4) of this
Section (j) below) shall give notice to the Company at any time during the four
year period commencing one year from the effective date of the Registration
Statement to the effect that such majority holder contemplates (i) the transfer
of all or any part of his, her or its Warrants and/or Warrant Shares, or (ii)
the exercise and/or conversion of all or any part of his, her or its Warrants
and the transfer of all or any part of the Warrants and/or Warrant Shares under
such circumstances that a public offering (within the meaning of the Act) of
Warrants and/or Warrant Shares will be involved, and desires to register under
the Act, the Warrants and/or the Warrant Shares, then the Company shall, within
four weeks after receipt of such notice, file a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or a new registration statement on Form SB-2 or such
other form as the holder requests, pursuant to the Act, to the end that the
Warrants and/or Warrant Shares may be sold under the Act as promptly as
practicable thereafter and the Company will use its best efforts to cause such
registration to become effective and continue to be effective (current)
(including the taking of such steps as are necessary to obtain the removal of
any stop order) until the holder has advised that all of the Warrants and/or
Warrant Shares have been sold; provided that such holder shall furnish the
Company with appropriate information (relating to the intentions of such
holders) in connection therewith as the Company shall reasonably request in
writing. In the event the registration statement is not declared effective under
the Act prior to __________ __, 2002, the Company shall extend the expiration
date of the Warrants to a date not less than six months after the effective date
of such registration statement. The holder may, at its option, request the
registration of the Warrants and/or Warrant Shares in a registration statement
made by the Company as contemplated by Subsection (1) of this Section (j) or in
connection with a request made pursuant to Subsection (2) of this Section (j)
prior to the acquisition of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants and even though the holder has not given notice of exercise of the
Warrants. If the Company determines to include securities to be sold by it in
any registration statement originally requested pursuant to this Subsection (2)
of this Section (j), such registration shall instead be deemed to have been a
registration under Subsection (1) of this Section (j) and not under Subsection
(2) of this Subsection (j). The holder may thereafter at its option, exercise
the Warrants at any time or from time to time subsequent to the effectiveness
under the Act of the registration statement in which the Warrant Shares were
included. The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement for at least nine months following the Effective
-7-
13
Date thereof or such shorter period as may be reasonably required to provide for
the sale of the Warrant Shares in the open market.
(3) The following provision of this Section (j) shall also be
applicable:
(A) Within ten days after receiving any such notice pursuant
to Subsection (2) of this Section (j), the Company shall give notice to the
other holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares, advising that the Company is
proceeding with such post-effective amendment or registration statement and
offering to include therein Warrants and/or Warrant Shares of such other
holders, provided that they shall furnish the Company with such appropriate
information (relating to the intentions of such holders) in connection therewith
as the Company shall reasonably request in writing. Following the effective date
of such post-effective amendment or registration, the Company shall upon the
request of any owner of Warrants and/or Warrant Shares forthwith supply such a
number of prospectuses meeting the requirements of the Act, as shall be
requested by such owner to permit such holder to make a public offering of all
Warrants and/or Warrant Shares from time to time offered or sold to such holder,
