as to the an additional five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Common Stock
of the Company upon the execution of all Closing Documents (as defined in the
Letter of Agreement) and shall be further exercisable as to the remaining two
hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company upon the
earlier of (i) the date of effectiveness of Company's registration statement
(the "Registration Statement") to be filed pursuant to the Closing Documents, or
(ii) the date that is six (6) months from date of the Letter of Agreement.
Anything in this Warrant to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company
delivers written notice to Xxxxxx Private Equity, LLC prior to the expiration of
the Review Period that the legal documents for the transaction are unacceptable
and the Company wishes to terminate the transaction, Holder shall return this
Warrant to the Company and all of Holder's rights under this Warrant shall be
null and void and of no effect.
2. EXERCISE.
--------
(a) Manner of Exercise. During the Exercise Period, this Warrant may be
exercised as to all or any lesser number of full shares of Common Stock covered
hereby (the "Warrant Shares") upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Exercise
Form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the "Exercise Form") duly completed and
executed, together with the full Exercise Price (as defined below) for each
share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercised, at the office of
the Company, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxx, President and CEO, New Millenium Media
International, Inc., 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000;
Telephone: (000) 000-0000, Facsimile: (000) 000-0000, or at such other office or
agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an
advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company and its Transfer Agent by
facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price hereinafter called
the "Exercise of this Warrant").
(b) Date of Exercise. The "Date of Exercise" of the Warrant shall be
defined as the date that the advance copy of the completed and executed Exercise
Form is sent by facsimile to the Company, provided that the original Warrant and
Exercise Form are received by the Company as soon as practicable thereafter.
Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original
Exercise Form is received by the Company, if Holder has not sent advance notice
by facsimile.
(c) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the
Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise,
Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares
purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not
exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing
terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this
Warrant in addition to such Common Stock.
(d) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of
Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of
record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of
the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this
Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder
any rights as a stockholder of the Company.
3. PAYMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE.
---------------------------------
The Exercise Price per share ("Exercise Price") shall initially equal (the
"Initial Exercise Price") the lowest Closing Bid Price for the five (5) trading
days immediately preceding March 6, 2000, which is $0.30. If the lowest Closing
Bid Price of the Company's Common Stock for the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding the date, if any, that the Company and Xxxxxx Private
Equity, LLC execute Closing Documents as defined in the Letter of Agreement
dated on or about March 6, 2000, between Holder and Company (the "Closing Market
Price") is less than the Initial Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be
reset to equal the Closing Market Price, or, if the Date of Exercise is more
than six (6) months after the Date of Issuance, the Exercise Price shall be
reset to equal the lesser of (i) the Exercise Price then in effect, or (ii) the
"Lowest Reset Price,"
2
as that term is defined below. The Company shall calculate a "Reset Price" on
each six-month anniversary date of the Date of Issuance which shall equal one
hundred percent (100%) of the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Company's Common
Stock for the five (5) trading days ending on such six-month anniversary date of
the Date of Issuance. The "Lowest Reset Price" shall equal the lowest Reset
Price determined on any six-month anniversary date of the Date of Issuance
preceding the Date of Exercise, taking into account, as appropriate, any
adjustments made pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a
combination thereof, at the election of Holder:
(i) Cash Exercise: cash, bank or cashiers check or wire transfer; or
(ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this
Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction under this subsection (ii) if and
only if, on the Date of Exercise, there is not then in effect a current
registration statement that covers the resale of the shares of Common Stock to
be issued upon exercise of this Warrant . In order to effect a Cashless
Exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company together with notice of cashless election, in which event the Company
shall issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
X = Y (A-B)/A
where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being
exercised.
A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of
this Section 3(ii), the "Market Price" shall be defined as the average
Closing Price of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days prior
to the Date of Exercise of this Warrant (the "Average Closing Price"),
as reported by the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("Nasdaq") Small Cap
Market, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the Nasdaq Small Cap
Market, the Average Closing Price in any other over-the-counter
market; provided, however, that if the Common Stock is listed on a
stock exchange, the Market Price shall be the Average Closing Price on
such exchange for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of
exercise of the Warrants. If the Common Stock is/was not traded during
the five (5) trading days prior to the Date of Exercise, then the
closing price for the last publicly traded day shall be deemed to be
the closing price for any and all (if applicable) days during such
five (5) trading day period.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes hereof, the term "Closing Bid Price" shall mean the closing
bid price on the the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the National Market System
("NMS"), the New York Stock Exchange, or the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, or if no
longer traded on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the National Market System
("NMS"), the New York Stock Exchange, or the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, the "Closing
Bid Price" shall equal the closing price on the principal national securities
exchange or the over-the-counter system on which the Common Stock is so traded
and, if not available, the mean of the high and low prices on the principal
national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is so traded.
3
For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to
have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction
shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.
4. TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION.
-------------------------
(a) Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole
or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly
completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and,
as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this
Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to
the portion hereof retained.
(b) Registrable Securities. In addition to any other registration rights of
the Holder, if the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not
registered for resale at the time the Company proposes to register (including
for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other
than the Holders) any of its Common Stock under the Act (other than a
registration relating solely for the sale of securities to participants in a
Company stock plan or a registration on Form S-4 promulgated under the Act or
any successor or similar form registering stock issuable upon a
reclassification, upon a business combination involving an exchange of
securities or upon an exchange offer for securities of the issuer or another
entity)(a "Piggyback Registration Statement"), the Company shall cause to be
included in such Piggyback Registration Statement ("Piggyback Registration") all
of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant ("Registrable
Securities") to the extent such inclusion does not violate the registration
rights of any other securityholder of the Company granted prior to the date
hereof. Nothing herein shall prevent the Company from withdrawing or abandoning
the Piggyback Registration Statement prior to its effectiveness.
(c) Limitation on Obligations to Register under a Piggyback Registration.
In the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to an underwritten public
offering by the Company, if the managing underwriter determines and advises in
writing that the inclusion in the registration statement of all Registrable
Securities proposed to be included would interfere with the successful marketing
of the securities proposed to be registered by the Company, then the number of
such Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration
Statement, to the extent such Registrable Securities may be included in such
Piggyback Registration Statement, shall be allocated among all Holders who had
requested Piggyback Registration pursuant to the terms hereof, in the proportion
that the number of Registrable Securities which each such Holder seeks to
register bears to the total number of Registrable Securities sought to be
included by all Holders. If required by the managing underwriter of such an
underwritten public offering, the Holders shall enter into an agreement, as
determined by the managing underwriter, limiting the number of Registrable
Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration Statement and the
terms, if any, regarding the future sale of such Registrable Securities.

5. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.
-------------------------
(a) Stock Dividend. If the Company shall at any time declare a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock, then Holder, upon Exercise of this Warrant
after the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive such dividend, shall be entitled to receive upon Exercise of this
Warrant, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this
Warrant is exercised, such additional shares of Common Stock as such Holder
would have received had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such
record date and the Exercise Price will be proportionately adjusted.
(b) Recapitalization or Reclassification.
(i) STOCK SPLIT. If the Company shall at any time effect a
recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such
character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable for a LARGER number of shares (a "Stock Split"), then upon the
effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall
be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in
direct proportion to the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock by
reason of such recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and
the Exercise Price shall be proportionally decreased.
(ii) REVERSE STOCK SPLIT. If the Company shall at any time effect a
recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such
character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable for a SMALLER number of shares (a "Reverse Stock Split"), then upon
the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder
shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionally
increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders
of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Distributions. If the Company shall at any time distribute for no
consideration to holders of Common Stock cash, evidences of indebtedness or
other securities or assets (other than cash dividends or distributions payable
out of earned surplus or net profits for the current or preceding years) then,
in any such case, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon Exercise of this
Warrant, with respect to each share of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
the amount of cash or evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets
which Holder would have been entitled to receive with respect to each such share
of Common Stock as a result of the happening of such event had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the record date or other date fixing shareholders
to be affected by such event (the "Determination Date") or, in lieu thereof, if
the Board of Directors of the Company should so determine at the time of such
distribution, a reduced Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price on the Determination Date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
result of such Exercise Price reduced by the value of such distribution
applicable to one share of Common Stock (such value to be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company in its discretion) and the denominator of
which is such Exercise Price.
(d) Notice of Consolidation or Merger. In the event of a merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other
similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes
of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or there
is a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets (a "Corporate
Change"), then this Warrant shall be exerciseable into such class and type of
securities or other assets as Holder would have received had Holder exercised
this Warrant immediately prior to such Corporate Change; provided,
5
however, that Company may not affect any Corporate Change unless it first shall
have given thirty (30) days notice to Holder hereof of any Corporate Change.
(e) Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term "Exercise
Price" shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3 of this
Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in subsection (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section 5, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to
time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment
under this Section 5 shall be made unless such adjustment would change the
Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more; provided, however, that all
adjustments not so made shall be deferred and made when the aggregate thereof
would change the Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more.
(f) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that
at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5,
Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares
and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever
appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and
thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.
6. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.
--------------------
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant,
Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on
Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of
Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such
fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise shall be the next higher number of shares.
7. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
---------------------
The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted
therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of
this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. The Company covenants and agrees
that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and
not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of
any person or entity.
8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
------------------------
(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by virtue of
Regulation D and exempt from state registration under applicable state laws. The
Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may not
be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective
registration statement or unless the Company has received an opinion from the
Company's counsel to the effect that such registration is not required, or the
Holder has furnished to the Company an opinion of the Holder's counsel, which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
registration is not required; the transfer complies with any applicable state
securities laws; and, if no registration covering the resale of the Warrant
Shares is effective at the time the Warrant Shares are issued, the Holder
consents to a legend being placed on certificates for the Warrant Shares stating
that the securities
6
have not been registered under the Securities Act and referring to such
restrictions on transferability and sale.
(b) Assignment. If Holder can provide the Company with reasonably
satisfactory evidence that the conditions of (a) above regarding registration or
exemption have been satisfied, Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a
written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached
hereto as EXHIBIT B, indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall
be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each
assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within ten (10) days, and
shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of
like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares.
9. BENEFITS OF THIS WARRANT.
------------------------
Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other
than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and Holder.
10. APPLICABLE LAW.
--------------
This Warrant is issued under and shall for all purposes be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Florida, without giving
effect to conflict of law provisions thereof.
11. LOSS OF WARRANT.
---------------
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
12. NOTICE OR DEMANDS.

Notices or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given or made by Holder to or

registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, until
