holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the

(including cash, where applicable) to which such holder is entitled upon such
exercise pursuant to section 5 or otherwise and such certificates shall be
delivered to the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) to be
held and released pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement (as defined in
the Subscription Agreement).
5. Adjustment for Dividends in Other Stock, Property, etc.,
Reclassification, etc. In case at any time or from time to time after the

as provided in section 3, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock and
other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
subdivisions (b) and (c) of this section 5) which such holder would hold on the
date of such exercise if on the Original Issue Date he had been the holder of
record of the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this
Warrant as well as the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the B-2 Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the Original Issue
Date to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and all
such other or additional (or less) stock and other securities and property
(including cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this

reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such
dissolution, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive (and the Company
shall be entitled to deliver), in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date,
the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such
holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with

adjustment thereafter as provided in sections 5 and 7 hereof.
7. Other Adjustments.
7.1 General. In any case to which sections 5 and 6 hereof are not
applicable, where the Company shall issue or sell shares of its Common Stock
after the Original Issue Date and prior to the expiration of this Warrant, then
the Purchase Price in effect hereunder shall simultaneously with such issuance
or sale be reduced to equal the price at which the Company sells or issues
Common Stock subsequent to the Original Issue Date, provided that such price is
lower than the Purchase Price, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise hereof shall be increased so that the percentage of the Company
represented by the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
is not reduced as a result of such issuance or sale.
7.2 Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall issue or
sell any securities convertible into Common Stock of the Company ("Convertible
Securities") after the date hereof, then such issue or sale shall be deemed to
be an issue or sale (as of the date of issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities) of such maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Securities, provided that, if such
Convertible Securities shall by their terms provide for a decrease or decreases,
with the passage of time, in the conversion rate or rate of exchange upon the
conversion or exchange thereof, the number of shares deemed issued or sold upon
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities shall, forthwith upon any
such decrease becoming effective, be readjusted to reflect the same, and
provided further, that upon the expiration of such rights of conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, if any thereof shall not have been
exercised, the adjusted Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of
Common Stock and other Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price and number of shares which
would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only
shares of Common Stock so issued or sold were issued or sold upon the conversion
of exchange of such Convertible Securities.
5
7.3 Rights and Options. In case the Company shall grant any rights
or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock, then
the granting of such rights or options shall be deemed to be an issue or sale
(as of the date of the granting of such rights or options) of such maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights or
options, provided that, if such rights or options shall by their terms provide
for an increase or increases, with the passage of time, in the number of shares
issuable by the Company upon the exercise thereof, the number of shares of
Common Stock deemed issued upon such grant shall, forthwith upon any such
increase becoming effective, be readjusted to reflect the same, and provided,
further, that upon the expiration of such rights or options, if any thereof
shall not have been exercised, the adjusted Purchase Price per share and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the B-2 Warrant
shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have
been had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only shares of Common
Stock so issued or sold were those issued or sold upon the exercise of such
rights or options.
8. Conversion Limitation. In order to comply with rules of the American
Stock Exchange relating to shareholder approval of a transaction by an issuer
other than in a public offering, this Warrant together with the Shares and
Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement shall not be
exercisable into the number of shares of Common Stock that, in the aggregate,
would result in the issuance of more than 19.9% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the transaction contemplated by the
Subscription Agreement (the "Conversion Limitation") until such time as the
Company receives shareholder approval of the transaction (the "Approval"). The
Company agrees to seek the Approval after December 12, 2003 but no later than
January 20, 2004. The Company shall have received proxies from each of the
executive officers and directors of the Company agreeing to vote in favor of the
Approval.

promptly cause the Company's regularly retained auditor to compute such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing
in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding. The
Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of
this Warrant.
11. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of
any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash
dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, or
6

Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(Void after _____ __, 2006)
Frontline Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), for value received, hereby certifies that Scarborough Ltd. (the
"Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to
purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on or after the date
of exercise of the B Warrant in connection with the Subscription Agreement
between the Company and the Registered Holder, dated November 25, 2003,
1,250,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock") $0.01 par value per share,
of the Company, at a purchase price of $0.01 per share. The shares purchasable
upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share, each as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are
hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Shares" and the "Purchase Price,"
respectively.
23. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates.
23.1 Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered
Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase
form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by such Registered Holder or by
such Registered Xxxxxx's duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of
the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate,
accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the
Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon
such exercise.
13
23.2 Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this
Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection
1(a) above (the "Exercise Date"). At such time, the person or persons in whose
name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such
exercise as provided in subsection 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such
certificates.
23.3 As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in
full or in part, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the
name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as the Registered Holder
(upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
direct but subject to Section 4 hereof:
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of full
Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon
such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such
Registered Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount
determined pursuant to Section 3 hereof; and
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or
warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the
aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares
equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number
of Warrant Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the sum
of the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon
such exercise.
24. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The
Purchase Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events described in this Section 2.
24.1 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. If outstanding shares of
the Company's Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares
or a dividend in such stock shall be paid in respect of such stock, or any
transaction having substantially similar effect shall have been consummated by
the Company, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such transaction
shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness or record date of such transaction,
be proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock
shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the
effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any
adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price, the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the
number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment,
multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment,
by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
24.2 Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale. If there shall occur any capital reorganization or reclassification of the
Company's Common Stock (other than a change in par value or a subdivision or
combination), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, or a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
14
Company, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property (an "Organic
Change"), then, as part of such Organic Change, lawful provision shall be made
so that the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to
receive upon the exercise hereof the kind and amount of shares of stock or other
securities or property which such Registered Holder would have been entitled to
receive if, immediately prior to such Organic Change such Registered Holder had
held the number of shares of Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as
reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company)
shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect
to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder of this Warrant,
such that the provisions set forth in this Section 2 shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as is reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares of
stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise
of this Warrant.
24.3 When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase
Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant,
the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting
forth the Purchase Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such certificate shall also
set forth the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into
which this Warrant shall be exercisable following the occurrence of any of the
events specified in subsection 2(b) above.
25. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the
exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall make an
adjustment therefor in cash on the basis of the fair market value per share of
Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing, fair market value of one share of
Common Stock, shall be determined as follows:
(a) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities
exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the
Nasdaq system, or another nationally recognized exchange or quotation
system as of the Exercise Date, the fair market value per share of the
Common Stock shall be deemed to be the last reported sale price per
share of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date, or, if no such price is
reported on such date, such price on the next preceding business day
(provided that if no such price is reported on the next preceding
business day, the fair market value per share shall be determined
pursuant to clause (ii)).
(b) If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities
exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the
Nasdaq System, or another nationally recognized exchange or quotation
system on the Exercise Date, the fair market value per share shall be
determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith.
26. Requirements for Transfer.
26.1 This Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall not be sold or
transferred unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any applicable state
securities laws, or (ii) the Company first shall have been furnished with an
opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect
that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Act and any applicable state securities laws.
15
26.2 Each certificate representing this Warrant or Warrant Shares
shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
QUALIFIED UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS EITHER (A) COVERED BY
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION TO THE
EFFECT THAT NO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS LEGALLY
REQUIRED FOR SUCH TRANSFER."
The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing any
Warrants or Warrant Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time
as they become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act.
27. No Voting or Dividend Rights. Nothing contained in this Warrant
shall be construed as conferring upon the Registered Holder the right to vote or
to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company or any other
matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. No dividends
or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the
interest represented hereby or the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder until,
and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised. Until the
exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall not have or exercise any
rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company.
28. Notices of Record Date, etc.
In case:
28.1 of any capital reorganization of the Company, any

consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), or any
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
28.2 of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,
16
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i)
the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to
take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange
their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities
or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such
notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or
effective date for the event specified in such notice.
29. Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and
keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this
Warrant, such number of Warrant Shares and other stock, securities and property,
as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
30. Exchange of Warrants. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder
of any Warrant or Warrants, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal
office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 4
hereof, issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Registered Holder, at the
Company's expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such
Registered Holder or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered
Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on
the face or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
31. Lost Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and
(in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity
agreement (with surety in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company if
requested by the Company), or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.
32. Transfers, etc.
32.1 The Company will maintain a register containing the names and
addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant. Any Registered Holder may
change its address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the
Company requesting such change.
32.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, this Warrant
and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit II
hereto) at the principal office of the Company.
32.3 Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant
register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if and when this
Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be
obligated to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
17
