CLASS "B" COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged by IMSCO TECHNOLOGIES, Inc., (the "Company"), WRA

time from the date hereof until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on December 31,
1999 (the "Expiration Date"), 400,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock").
This Warrant is exercisable at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined)
per share of Common Stock issuable hereunder, payable in cash or by certified
or official bank check. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the annexed
Subscription Form duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for
the shares of Common Stock purchased, at the Company's principal executive

1. Exercise of Warrant.
The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the
option of the holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional
shares of Common Stock), during the period in which this Warrant may be
exercised as set forth above. In the case of the purchase of less than all the
shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel
this Warrant upon the surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder.
2. Issuance of Stock Certificate.
The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder hereof including,
without limitation, any tax that may be payable in respect thereof, and such
certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof) be issued in
the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the holder hereof;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any income tax
to which the holder hereof may be subject in connection with the issuance of
this Warrant or of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant; and
provided further, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may
be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of
any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder and the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance
hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under the
Securities Ac t, covering the disposition of the Warrant or Common Stock issued
or issuable upon exercise hereof (the "Warrant Shares"), such holder will not
sell or
transfer any or all of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be,
without first providing the Company with an opinion of counsel (which may be
counsel for the Company) reasonably acceptable to it to the effect that such
sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Act. Such holder consents to the Company making a notation
on its records giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Warrant or
Warrant Shares in order to implement such restrictions on transferability.
3.2 Transfer Restrictions Legend. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are
registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form on the face thereof:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT, UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a distribution under a registration statement covering the securities
represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, the securities represented thereby may be transferred as
contemplated by such holder without violation of the registration requirements
of the Act.
4. Exercise Price and Redemption.
4.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Prices. The initial exercise price shall
be $1.50 per share of Common Stock from the date hereof through December 31,
l999. The adjusted exercise price shall be the price that shall result from time
to time from any and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance
with the provisions of Section 6 hereof.
4.2 Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the initial
exercise price or the adjusted exercise price depending upon the context.
5. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
5.1 Subdivision and Combination of Common Stock. In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or
combine (by any reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in
the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
5.2 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise
Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (and of all
the Warrants) shall be obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and of all the Warrants) immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted
Exercise Price.
5.3 Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, or the sale
of all or substantially all of its assets to another entity shall be effected,
or in case of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock
of the Company, then, as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale,
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, lawful
and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Warrant holder shall thereafter
have the right to receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company
immediately theretofore receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants, such
shares of stock, or of securities, interests or assets (other than cash) as may
be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore so receivable by the Warrant
2
holder had such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization or reclassification
not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with
respect to the rights and interests of the Warrant holder to the end that the
provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the
Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation
to any shares of stock, securities, interests or assets thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise of such Warrant rights.

Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or, of any Warrant Shares;
(b) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than one cent ($.01)
per share, provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that
would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward
and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent
adjustment that, together with any adjustment so carried forward,
shall amount to at least one cent ($.01) per share.
6. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant.
Subject to Section 3 hereof, this Warrant is exchangeable without expense,
upon the surrender hereof by the registered holder at the principal executive

registered holder hereof at the time of such surrender.

the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in case of
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in
lieu of this Warrant.
7. Elimination of Fractional Interests.
The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to
issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but
shall instead pay in cash, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock to
which such holder would be entitled if such fractional share were issuable, in
an amount equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as of the
date of such exercise.
8. Reservation of Shares.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the
exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
issuable upon the exercise hereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon
exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.
