GAINSCO, INC.
(Incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas)
Void after 5:00 p.m., Fort Worth, Texas time,
on October 4, 2006
No. B-1 Right to Purchase
1,550,000 Shares
SERIES B COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Xxxx Xxxxx Strategic
Partners, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (the "Holder"), or registered
assigns, is entitled to purchase from GAINSCO, INC., a Texas corporation (the
"Company"), at any time or from time to time during the period specified in
Paragraph 2 hereof, one million five hundred fifty thousand (1,550,000) fully
paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.10
per share (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise price per share of $8.50 (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 is one of two Warrants (the "Warrants") issued pursuant
to, and is subject to all terms, provisions, and conditions contained in, that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 1999 (the
SERIES B WARRANT - PAGE 1
2
"Purchase Agreement"), by and between the Company and the Holder. This Warrant
is subject to the following additional terms, provisions, and conditions:
1. MANNER OF EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
Subject to the provisions hereof, 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
Fort Worth, Texas (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 (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check, or (ii) by
surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the holder hereof (the "Payment
Shares"), the aggregate Current Market Price of which shall be credited against
the Exercise Price; provided, however, that in lieu of actually tendering the
Payment Shares, the holder hereof may make a constructive exchange by
relinquishing a number of Warrant Shares ("Constructive Exchange") represented
by the then exercisable portion of this Warrant. The holder hereof shall notify
the Company in writing of any election to pay all or a portion of the Exercise
Price using a Constructive Exchange. Such notice shall specify the number of
Payment Shares to be used in the Constructive Exchange. Upon receipt of such
notice and the required information referred to herein, the Company shall
confirm ownership of the Payment Shares by reference to Company records. Upon
such confirmation, the Company shall treat the Payment Shares as being
constructively exchanged, and accordingly, the Company shall issue to the
holder hereof a net number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of
shares subject to the exercise for which the Constructive Exchange is being
exercised, less (ii) the number of Payment Shares. The holder hereof may elect
to exercise using a Constructive Exchange any number of times in succession,
subject to compliance with the procedures set forth herein. 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.

2. PERIOD OF EXERCISE. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from
time to time during the period commencing on October 4, 1999 and ending at 5:00
p.m. Fort Worth, Texas time, on October 4, 2006 (the "Exercise Period").
3. CERTAIN ACTIONS PROHIBITED. The Company will not, by amendment of
articles 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; and
(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 issuance upon
such exercise.
4. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price in effect at any
time shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN CAPITAL STOCK. If the Company:
(i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common
Stock in shares of its Common Stock;
(ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares;
(iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares;
(iv) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of
its capital stock other than Common Stock; or
(v) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares
of its capital stock;
then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant may receive the number of shares of
capital stock of the Company upon the exercise hereof which
SERIES B WARRANT - PAGE 3
4
the holder would have owned immediately following such action if the holder had
executed the Warrant immediately prior to such action.
The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record
date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
If, after an adjustment, the holder of this Warrant upon exercise
hereof may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the
Company, the Company shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise
Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation the Exercise
Price of each class of capital stock thereafter shall be subject to adjustment
on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Paragraph.
(b) ADJUSTMENT FOR RIGHTS ISSUE. If the Company distributes any rights
or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them for a period
expiring within 90 days after the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive the rights or warrants to purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share
on that record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with
the following formula:
N x P
---------
C x O + M
-------------
C' = O + N
where:
C' = the adjusted Exercise Price.
C = the current Exercise Price.
O = the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the record date.
N = the number of additional shares of Common
Stock offered.
P = the offering price per share of the additional
shares.
M = the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock
on the record date.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or
warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the rights or
warrants. If at the end of the period during which such warrants or rights are
exercisable not all warrants or rights shall have been exercised, the Exercise
Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been if "N" in the
above formula had been the number of shares actually issued.
This subsection does not apply to any rights or other securities
issued under or in respect of any rights plan or poison pill adopted by the
Company.
SERIES B WARRANT - PAGE 4
5
(c) ADJUSTMENT FOR OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In case the Company at any
time after the date hereof during the course of a calendar year shall declare,
order, pay or make any dividend(s) or other distribution(s) payable in cash to
all holders of the Common Stock exceeding (in the aggregate) $.14 per share of
outstanding Common Stock (proportionately adjusted to reflect any stock
dividends, splits or combinations), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in
accordance with the formula:
C' = C - D
where:
C' = the adjusted Exercise Price.
C = the current Exercise Price.
D = the amount by which the cash dividend(s) or
distribution(s) for the given calendar year exceeds
(in the aggregate) $.14 per share of outstanding
Common Stock (proportionately adjusted to reflect any
stock dividends, splits or combinations)
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the
distribution.
(d) CURRENT MARKET PRICE. In Paragraphs 4(b) and 4(c), the "Current
Market Price" per share of Common Stock on any date is the average of Quoted
Prices of the Common Stock during the two trading weeks before the date in
question. In the absence of one or more such quotations the Company shall
determine the current market price on the basis of such quotations as it
considers appropriate. As used herein, the "Quoted Price" of the Common Stock
is the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
regular way for such day, in each case on the principal national securities
exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading
or, if not listed or admitted to trading, the last sale price regular way for
the Common Stock as published by NASDAQ or if such last price is not so
published by NASDAQ or if no such sale takes place on such day, the mean
between the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock as published by
NASDAQ or in the absence of any of the foregoing, the fair market value as
determined by the Board of Directors.
(e) WHEN ADJUSTMENT MAY BE DEFERRED. No adjustment in the Exercise
Price need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease
of at least one percent (1%) in the Exercise Price. Any adjustments that are
not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.
All calculations under this Paragraph shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(f) WHEN NO ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED. No adjustment need be made for rights
to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of
dividends. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par
value of the Common Stock. To the extent the Warrant becomes exercisable for
cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not
accrue on the cash.
SERIES B WARRANT - PAGE 5

(g) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, the
Company shall promptly mail to the holder of this Warrant a notice and
description of the adjustment.
(h) NOTICE OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. If there is a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company, or in the event of any Fundamental Change
Transaction (as defined in paragraph 4(i) below), or in the event of the
declaration of any dividend or distribution, the Company shall mail to the
holder of this Warrant a notice thereof stating the proposed effective date of
such event. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such
date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the
validity of the transaction.
(i) 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 Common
Stock, or the Company is otherwise a party to any transaction (including,
without limitation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets, liquidation, or recapitalization of the Common 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 Common Stock
ceases to be a publicly traded security either listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market System or the American Stock Exchange 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) 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 Common Stock in respect of the number of shares of Common 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 Common 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
SERIES B WARRANT - PAGE 6
7
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.
(j) PAR VALUE. Before taking any action which would cause an
adjustment reducing the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take
any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel be necessary in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price.
(k) CERTAIN EVENTS. If any event occurs as to which, in the good faith
judgment of the Board, 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 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

7. TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT; REGISTRATION

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 person, other than a person who is at that time a holder of
other Warrants, the Company shall have the right to require the holder and the
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, when 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 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

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 cancelled 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
Fort Worth, 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 public
