SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JANUARY 3, 2000 PROSPECTUS WEBB INTERACTIVE SERVICES, INC. This is a public offering of a maximum of 1,129,568 shares of common stock of Webb Interactive Services, Inc. The shares include up to (i) 856,530 shares which are reserved for issuance upon conversion of a 10% promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 and the payment of interest on the note and (ii) 273,038 shares issuable upon exercise of transferable stock purchase warrants. The selling shareholder is offering all of the shares to be sold. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offer and sale of the shares, however, 273,038 of the shares offered by the selling shareholder are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock purchase warrants of Webb at exercise prices of $11.44 and $18.51 per share. If these warrants were exercised in full, we would receive gross proceeds of $4,088,198. The Nasdaq SmallCap Market lists our common stock under the symbol WEBB. Investing in our common stock involves risks. You should not purchase our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 3 of this prospectus. Because the selling shareholder will offer and sell the shares at various times, we have not included in this prospectus information about the price to the public of the shares or the proceeds to the selling shareholder. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities or passed on the adequacy of the disclosures in this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The date of this prospectus is ________ __, 2000 WEBB INTERACTIVE SERVICES, INC. Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: WEBB) ("Webb") develops next generation Internet applications for unlocking the potential of local market e-commerce. We believe that two of the biggest opportunities in the local online marketplace are simplifying the ability to drive customers to local businesses' web sites and enabling customers to quickly find what they want. We are developing XML-based technologies that facilitate buyer-seller interaction and enable individuals and local businesses to easily manage their web-based communications. To date, we have generated revenues through the sale of design and consulting services for Web site development and network engineering services, resale of software licenses, mark-ups on computer hardware and software sold to customers, maintenance fees charged to customers to maintain computer hardware and Web sites, license fees based on a percentage of revenues from our products and services, training course fees, and monthly fees paid by customers for Internet access which we have provided. We commenced sales in February 1995 and have incurred losses from operations since inception. At September 30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $35,816,498. The reports of our independent public accountants for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 contained a paragraph noting substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our current projections, we have cash on hand which will allow us to operate through February 2000. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional capital, which could involve the issuance of dilutive equity securities and/or reduce our operating activity to conserve cash. Prior to the third quarter of 1997, our focus generally was on three markets: general Web site development, maintenance and hosting; rural or small market Internet service providers ("ISPs"); and healthcare information services and continuing medical education. Each of these activities involved, to varying degrees, the building of online communities and the development of tools and services to allow for the building of strategic and customized Web sites. As an outgrowth of these activities, since mid 1997, our business has evolved to the development of online communities and more recently, the development of Internet applications that simplify and support e-commerce transactions in local markets. We are organized into two business units. First, in the local commerce segment, we target small and medium sized enterprises with our AccelX(TM) product line supporting XML-based publishing and buyer-seller interaction. This business unit offers its services on a private-labeled, application services basis through high volume distribution partners. On June 30, 1999, we entered into our first such agreement for the local commerce market with CBS Switchboard, a leading online directory service. This agreement provides for monthly revenues from each local business web site created by Switchboard utilizing our technology. The Kelsey Group estimates that the number of U.S. based local businesses that are active advertisers and have a web presence will increase to 5.2 million in 2004. According to Forrester Research, local online sales are projected to grow from $680 million in 1998 to $6.1 billion in 2003 and local-only advertising dollars spent in support of these web site activities are projected to balloon from $135 million in 1998 to $1.7 billion in 2003. Our second business unit, electronic banking applications, targets credit unions, community banks, and savings and loan institutions with a full line of e-banking transaction processing and account management services. We are developing a tailored version of our merchant-based interaction services to provide financial institutions with services that will allow them to market their products and services as enhancements to other e-banking services. In addition to monthly recurring revenues from service and transaction fees, we receive a one-time set-up fee from each financial institution. We distribute our e-banking services on a private label basis through distribution partners, the most significant of which is the CU Cooperative Systems, Inc., a credit union cooperative made up of more than 650 credit unions with over 8 million members. International Data Corporation estimates that there were approximately 3.4 million users banking over the Internet in the United States at the end of 1998 and projects that that number will increase to over 37 million by 2003. Our primary market is financial institutions having less than $500 million in assets. It is estimated that in excess of 90% of the over 10,000 FDIC-insured financial institutions and all but a few of the over 11,000 credit unions, including both federally and state chartered credit unions, have less than $500 million in assets. Our strategy is to grow our local commerce and e-banking businesses by: 2 * Delivering first mover, expert technical solutions capitalizing on our expertise in online communities and communication; * Securing additional distribution partnerships to rapidly expand the deployment of our technologies; * Creating and innovating, value-added services to enhance buyer-seller interaction; and * Developing strategic alliances in order to more rapidly gain market share. During the first nine months of 1999, we acquired privately held Durand Communications, Inc. and NetIgnite, Inc. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 22, 1994. Our executive offices are located at 1800 Glenarm Place, Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80202, telephone number (303) 296-9200. RECENT EVENTS In order to fund operations throughout fiscal 2000, we have borrowed $5,000,000 pursuant to a three-year convertible promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum and obtained a commitment for an additional $10 million investment which we expect to complete early in the first quarter of 2000. The new investment is to be in the form of the purchase of shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and stock purchase warrants. Promissory Note On August 25, 1999, we issued to the selling shareholder a three-year convertible promissory note in the amount of $5 million and a five-year warrant representing the right to acquire 136,519 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.44 per share in consideration for which the selling shareholder loaned us $5 million. On December 18, 1999, we amended the terms of the promissory note and issued to the selling shareholder a second five-year warrant representing the right to acquire 136,519 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $18.51 per share. The note is convertible at a conversion price of $10.07 per share. This would result in the issuance of 496,524 shares of our common stock if the note were fully converted today. If we complete a financing by March 22, 2000, of $10 million or more in which the selling shareholder has a right to invest $5 million, the conversion price will remain at $10.07 per share until at least September 30, 2000, at which time the conversion price will be adjusted if the average of the closing bid prices for our common stock during the period from September 1, 2000 to September 29, 2000, is less than $10.07. In this event the conversion price would be fixed at the greater of the average of the closing bid prices during this period or $8.00. If the additional $10 million financing is not completed by March 22, 2000, the conversion price after March 22, 2000, will be the lower of $10.07 per share or the variable conversion price. The variable conversion price is the average of the five lowest closing bid prices for our common stock during the 15 trading days prior to conversion. We have the right to force the conversion of $2,500,000 principal amount of the note if the average closing bid price for our common stock during the 15-day period following the date of this prospectus is at least $12.50. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On December 31, 1999, we obtained a commitment from investors, including the selling shareholder, for a proposed purchase of 10,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The commitment is subject to the registration stastement of which this prospectus is a part being made effective by the SEC by February 1, 2000, and there being no material adverse changes in Webb's business prior to the completion of the financing. The purchase price for the preferred stock is $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million. The preferred stock will be convertible into shares of our common stock, initially at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the average of the 10-day closing bid prices for our common stock immediately prior to the date we sell the preferred stock to the investors or (ii) $20.0. The conversion rate for the preferred stock will be subject to potential resets. The first will be on the date that a registration statement relating to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock is declared effective by the SEC and the second will be on the later of nine months after the sale of the preferred stock or three months after the effective date of the registration statement. The adjustment price on 3 each such date shall be the then market price for our common stock if lower than the then effective conversion price but will not be less than $8.00 per share. Based on the current market price for our common stock, we estimate that the preferred stock will be convertible into from a minimum of approximately 500,000 to a maximum of approximately 1,250,000 shares of our common stock. For every share of common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock, the investors will also receive a warrant representing the right to acquire .55 shares of our common stock at an exercise price initially set at 101% of the initial conversion price of the preferred stock. The exercise price for the warrants will be subject to being reset based upon future market prices for our common stock. The warrants are to be for a term of five years. We estimate that the warrants will represent the right to acquire up to approximately 300,000 shares of our common stock. RISK FACTORS Our limited operating history could affect our business. We were founded in March 1994 and commenced sales in February 1995. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon which you may evaluate us. Our business is subject to the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies with a limited operating history including: * Limited ability to respond to competitive developments, * Exaggerated effect of unfavorable changes in general economic and market conditions, * Ability to attract qualified personnel, and * Ability to develop and introduce new product and service offerings. There is no assurance we will be successful in addressing these risks. If we are unable to successfully address these risks our business could be significantly affected. We have accumulated losses since inception and we anticipate that we will continue to accumulate losses for the foreseeable future. We have incurred net losses since inception totaling $35,816,498 through September 30, 1999. In addition, we expect to incur additional substantial operating and net losses in 1999 and for one or more years thereafter. We expect to incur these additional losses because: * We currently intend to increase our capital expenditures and operating expenses to expand the functionality and performance of our products and services, * We recorded goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with the DCI and NetIgnite acquisitions which will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately three years. We have allocated approximately $15 million to goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with these acquisitions. Net losses since inception include approximately $14.6 million of non-cash expenses related to the issuance of preferred stock and warrants in financing transactions, stock and stock options issued for services, warrants issued to four customers and interest expense on the 10% convertible note payable. We will be required to record significant additional non-cash charges in connection with the recent amendment to the terms of the note which could exceed $12 million. The current competitive business environment is expected to result in our issuance of similar securities in future financing transactions or to other companies as an inducement for them to enter into a business relationship with us. The proposed issuance of $10 million of our preferred stock with warrants described under "Recent Events - Series B Convertible Preferred Stock," will, if completed in accordance with the terms of the commitment, result in significant non-cash charges which could be as much as or more than the purchase price for the preferred stock. While these transactions represent non-cash charges, they will increase our expenses and net loss and our net loss available to common shareholders.. If we are unable to raise additional working capital funds, we may not be able to sustain our operations. We believe that our present cash and cash equivalents, working capital and commitments for additional equity investments will be adequate to sustain our current level of operations only through February 2000. We estimate that we will need to raise through equity, debt or other external financing at least $8 million to sustain operations for the next 12 months. While we have obtained a commitment for the purchase of $10 million stated amount of our preferred stock, the commitment is subject to certain conditions and there is no assurance that we will be able to 4 raise additional funds in amounts required or upon acceptable terms. In addition, we may discover that we have underestimated our working capital needs, and we may need to obtain additional funds to sustain our operations. If we cannot raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to curtail or scale back our operations. These actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. In its report accompanying the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, our auditor, Arthur Andersen LLP, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We may never become or remain profitable. Our ability to become profitable depends on the ability of our products and services to generate revenues. The success of our revenue model will depend upon many factors including: * The success of our distribution partners in marketing their products and services, and * The extent to which consumers and businesses use our products and conduct e-commerce transactions and advertising utilizing our products. Because of the new and evolving nature of the Internet, we cannot predict whether our revenue model will prove to be viable, whether demand for our products and services will materialize at the prices we expect to be charged, or whether current or future pricing levels will be sustainable. Additionally, our customer contracts may result in significant development revenue in one quarter, which will not recur in the next quarter for that customer. As a result, it is likely that certain components of our revenue will be volatile, which may cause our stock price to be volatile as well. Our business depends on the growth of the Internet. Our business plan assumes that the Internet will develop into a significant source of communication and communication interactivity. However, the Internet market is new and rapidly evolving and there is no assurance that the Internet will develop in this manner. If the Internet does not develop in this manner, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely effected. Numerous factors could prevent or inhibit the development of the Internet in this manner, including: * The failure of the Internet's infrastructure to support Internet usage or electronic commerce, * The failure of businesses developing and promoting Internet commerce to adequately secure the confidential information, such as credit card numbers, needed to carry out Internet commerce, and * Regulation of Internet activity Use of many of our products and services will be dependent on distribution partners. Because we have elected to partner with other companies for the distribution of many of our products and services, many users of our products and services are expected to utilize our products through our distribution partners. As a result, our distribution partners, and not us, will substantially control the customer relationship with these users. If the business of the companies with whom we partner is adversely affected in any manner our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We may be unable to develop desirable products. Our products are subject to rapid obsolescence and our future success will depend upon our ability to develop new products and services that meet changing customer and marketplace requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully: * Identify new product and service opportunities, or * Develop and introduce new products and services to market in a timely manner. If we are unable to accomplish these items, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Our products and services may not be successful. Even if we are able to successfully identify, develop, and introduce new products and services there is no assurance that a market for these products and services will materialize to the size and extent that we anticipate. If a market does not materialize as we anticipate, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. The following factors could affect the success of our products and services: 5 * The failure of our business plan to accurately predict the rate at which the market for Internet products and services will grow, * The failure of our business plan to accurately predict the types of products and services the future Internet marketplace will demand, * Our limited experience in marketing our products and services, * The failure of our business plan to accurately predict our future participation in the Internet marketplace, * The failure of our business plan to accurately predict the estimated sales cycle, price, and acceptance of our products and services, * The development by others of products and services that renders our products and services noncompetitive or obsolete, or * Our failure to keep pace with the rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product and service introductions that characterize the Internet marketplace. The intense competition that is prevalent in the Internet market could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our current and prospective competitors include many companies whose financial, technical, marketing and other resources are substantially greater than ours. There is no assurance that we will have the financial resources, technical expertise, or marketing, sales and support capabilities to compete successfully. The presence of these competitors in the Internet marketplace could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition by causing us to: * Reduce the average selling price of our products and services, or * Increase our spending on marketing, sales and product development. There is no assurance that we would be able to offset the effects of any such price reductions or increases in spending through an increase in the number of our customers, higher sales from premium services, cost reductions or otherwise. Further, our financial condition may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors. If we fail to, or cannot, meet competitive challenges, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. A limited number of our customers generate a significant portion of our revenues. We had four customers representing 79% of revenues for the September 30, 1999 three-month period and three customers representing 71% of net revenues for the similar 1998 period. We had five customers representing 76% of revenues for the September 30, 1999 nine-month period and four customers representing 76% of revenues for the similar 1998 period. There is no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain major customers. The loss of, or reduction in demand for products or related services from major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cashflow, and financial condition. The sales cycle for our products and services is lengthy and unpredictable. While our sales cycle varies from customer to customer, it typically has ranged from one to six months. Our pursuit of sales leads typically involves an analysis of our prospective customer's needs, preparation of a written proposal, one or more presentations and contract negotiations. We often provide significant education to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of our Internet technologies and products. Our sales cycle may also be affected by a prospective customer's budgetary constraints and internal acceptance reviews, over which we have little or no control. In order to quickly respond to, or anticipate, customer requirements, we may begin development work prior to having a signed contract, which exposes us to the risk that the development work will not be recovered from revenue from that customer. We may be unable to adjust our spending to account for potential fluctuations in our quarterly results. As a result of our limited operating history, we do not have historical financial data for a sufficient number of periods on which to base planned operating expenses. Therefore, our expense levels are based in part on our expectations as to future sales and to a large extent are fixed. We typically operate with little backlog and the sales cycles for our products and services may vary significantly. As a result, our quarterly sales and operating results generally depend on the volume and timing of and the ability to close customer contracts within the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfalls. If we were unable to so adjust, any significant shortfall of demand for our products and services in relation to our expectations would have an immediate adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial 6 condition. Further, we currently intend to increase our capital expenditures and operating expenses to fund product development and increase sales and marketing efforts. To the extent that such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased sales, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected. We may be unable to retain our key executives and research and development personnel. Our future success also depends in part on our ability to identify, hire and retain additional personnel, including key product development, sales, marketing, financial and executive personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and there is no assurance that we can identify or hire additional qualified personnel. Executives and research and development personnel who leave us may compete against us in the future. We generally enter into written nondisclosure and nonsolicitation agreements with our officers and employees which restrict the use and disclosure of proprietary information and the solicitation of customers for the purpose of selling competing products or services. However, we generally do not require our employees to enter into non-competition agreements. Thus, if any of these officers or key employees left, they could compete with us, so long as they did not solicit our customers. Any such competition could have a material adverse effect on our business. We may be unable to manage our expected growth. If we are able to implement our growth strategy, we will experience significant growth in the number of our employees, the scope of our operating and financial systems, and the geographic area of our operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to implement in whole or in part our growth strategy or that our management or other resources will be able to successfully manage any future growth in our business. Any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position. There is no assurance that the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent the imitation or unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of proprietary systems and products is difficult and, while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software exists, we expect software piracy to be a persistent problem. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect software to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Even if the steps we take to protect our proprietary rights prove to be adequate, our competitors may develop products or technologies that are both non-infringing and substantially equivalent or superior to our products or technologies. Computer viruses and similar disruptive problems could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our software and equipment may be vulnerable to computer viruses or similar disruptive problems caused by our customers or other Internet users. Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely effected by: * Losses caused by the presence of a computer virus that causes us or third parties with whom we do business to interrupt, delay or cease service to our customers, * Losses caused by the misappropriation of secured or confidential information by a third party who, in spite of our security measures, obtains illegal access to this information, * Costs associated with efforts to protect against and remedy security breaches, or * Lost potential revenue caused by the refusal of consumers to use our products and services due to concerns about the security of transactions and commerce that they conduct on the Internet. Future government regulation could materially adversely effect our business. There are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to, communications on, or commerce on the Internet. Therefore, we are not currently subject to direct regulation of our business operations by any government agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, however, federal, state, local, and foreign governmental organizations are currently considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals related to the Internet. The adoption of any of these laws or regulations may decrease the growth in the use of the Internet, which could, in turn: * Decrease the demand for our products and services, * Increase our cost of doing business, or * Otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 7 Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyright, trademark, trade secret, obscenity, libel and personal privacy is uncertain and developing. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely effected by the application or interpretation of these existing laws to the Internet. Our systems may not be year 2000 compliant. We have reviewed our internal software and hardware systems. Based on this review, we believe that our internal software and hardware systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. We expect to incur no significant costs in the future for Year 2000 problems. Nonetheless, there is no assurance in this regard until our internal software and hardware systems are operational in the year 2000. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage lawsuits and other claims against our directors. Our articles of incorporation provide, as permitted by Colorado law, that our directors shall have no personal liability for certain breaches of their fiduciary duties to us. In addition, our bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law. These provisions may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for a breach of their duty. The price of our common stock has been highly volatile due to factors that will continue to effect the price of our stock. Our common stock traded as high as $23.25 per share and as low as $8.00 per share between January 1, 1999 and December 23, 1999. Historically, the over-the-counter markets for securities such as our common stock have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Some of the factors leading to this volatility include: * Price and volume fluctuations in the stock market at large that do not relate to our operating performance, * Fluctuations in our quarterly revenue and operating results, * Announcements of product releases by us or our competitors, * Announcements of acquisitions and/or partnerships by us or our competitors, and * Increases in outstanding shares of common stock upon exercise or conversion of derivative securities. These factors may continue to affect the price of our common stock in the future. We have issued numerous options, warrants, and convertible securities to acquire our common stock that could have a dilutive effect on our shareholders. As of December 23, 1999, we had issued warrants and options to acquire 3,491,062 shares of our common stock, exercisable at prices ranging from $1.63 to $18.51 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $10.36 per share. In addition to these warrants and options, we have reserved an indeterminate and potentially unlimited number of shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of our 10% preferred stock and 10% convertible note. During the terms of these derivative securities, the holders will have the opportunity to profit from either an increase or, in the case of the preferred stock and note, decrease in the market price of our common stock with resulting dilution to the holders of shares who purchased shares for a price higher than the respective exercise or conversion price. In addition, the increase in the outstanding shares of our common stock as a result of the exercise or conversion of these derivative securities, which could be unlimited, could result in a significant decrease in the percentage ownership of our common stock by the purchasers of our common stock. The potentially unlimited number of shares issuable upon conversion of our 10% preferred stock and 10% convertible note could make it difficult to obtain additional financing. Due to the potentially unlimited number of shares of our common stock which could result from a conversion of our 10% preferred stock or 10% convertible note, new investors may either decline to make an investment in Webb due to the potential negative 8 effect this additional dilution could have on their investment or require that their investment be on terms at least as favorable as the terms of the 10% preferred stock or 10% convertible note. If we are required to provide similar terms to obtain required financing in the future, the potential adverse effect of these existing financings could be perpetuated and significantly increased. Future sales of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market that is not currently freely tradable, or even the potential for such sales, could have an adverse affect on the market price for shares of our common stock and could impair the ability of purchasers of our common stock to recoup their investment or make a profit. As of December 23, 1999, these shares consist of: * Approximately 770,000 shares owned by our officers and directors of our outstanding common stock ("Affiliate Shares"); * Approximately 1,582,000 shares issued and issuable to former shareholders and warrant and option holders of Durand Communications, Inc. and for services rendered offered pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the SEC on September 27, 1999; * An indeterminate and potentially unlimited number of shares issuable upon conversion of the 10% preferred stock and 10% convertible note; and * Approximately 3,372,000 shares issued and issuable to warrant and option holders (other than those owned by the former shareholders and warrant and option holders of Durand Communications, Inc.) In addition, we have obtained a commitment for the purchase of 10,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with warrants attached. If the transaction is completed as contemplated, we estimate, based on the current market price for our common stock, that the preferred stock will be convertible into from a minimum of approximately 500,000 to a maximum of approximately 1,250,000 shares of our common stock. In adidtion we estimate that the warrants would entitle the holders to purchase up to approximately 300,000 shares of our common stock. Unless the Affiliate Shares are further registered under the securities laws, they may not be resold except in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, or some other exemption from registration. Rule 144 does not prohibit the sale of these shares but does place conditions on their resale which must be complied with before they can be resold. The common stock issuable upon conversion of our preferred stock and convertible notes may increase as the price of our common stock decreases, which may adversely affect the price of our common stock. On December 23, 1999, we had issued and outstanding 85,000 shares of 10% preferred stock and $5,000,000 principal amount of a 10% convertible note. The number of shares of common stock that may ultimately be issued upon conversion of these securities is presently indeterminable and potentially unlimited and could fluctuate significantly. Purchasers of common stock could therefore experience substantial dilution upon conversion of the preferred stock and convertible note. In addition, the significant downward pressure on the market price of our common stock could develop as the holders convert and sell material amounts of common stock which could encourage short sales by the holders or others, placing further downward pressure on the market price of our common stock. To illustrate the potential dilution that may occur upon conversion of the preferred stock and convertible notes, the following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon conversion of the preferred stock, including accrued dividends, and the principal of the convertible note if the market price for our common stock is $19.69, the closing sale price for our common stock on December 23, 1999, and at assumed market prices of 75%, 50% and 25% of the market price on December 23, 1999. The table assumes that we have not completed a $10 million financing by March 22, 2000 and that the conversion price for the notes is therefore the lower of $10.07 per share or the variable conversion price and shows the aggregate number of shares which can be issued over the life of the convertible securities at that price. 9
Shares Issued Upon Conversion ----------------------------------------------------------- Market Price 10% Preferred Stock 10% Notes (Conversion Total (Percentage of (Conversion Price) Price) Outstanding) - ---------------------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- $19.69 (actual at 12/23/99) 101,936 ($10.00) 496,524 ($10.07) 598,460 (7.1%) $14.77 (75% of 12/23/99 price) 101,936 ($10.00) 496,524 ($10.07) 598,460 (7.1%) $9.84 (50% of 12/23/99 price) 129,361 ($7.88) 507,924 ($9.84) 637,285 (7.5%) $4.92 (25% of 12/23/99 price) 258,722 ($3.94) 1,015,847 ($4.92) 1,274,569 (13.9%)
- --------------- Pursuant to their terms, the convertible notes and warrants are convertible or exercisable by any holder only to the extent that the number of shares thereby issuable, together with the number of shares of common stock owned by such holder, but not including unconverted or unexercisable shares of convertible notes or warrants, would not exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless such conversion is approved by the majority of the holders of our common stock. While this limits the number of shares which may be issued upon conversion at any one time, this 4.99% limit will not prevent any holder from converting all of its convertible notes or exercising its warrants, because the holder can convert or exercise convertible notes and warrants into 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, then sell all of that stock to permit it to engage in further conversions or exercises. As a result, the 4.99% limit does not prevent the selling shareholder from selling more than 4.99% of our common stock. Future sales of our common stock in the public market could limit our ability to raise capital. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market pursuant to Rule 144, upon exercise or conversion of derivative securities or otherwise, or even the potential for such sales, could affect our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities. Provisions in our articles of incorporation allow us to issue shares of stock that could make a third party acquisition of us difficult. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors, without further action by our shareholders. Preferred stock authorized by the Board of Directors may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemptive rights and sinking fund provisions. If the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of preferred stock in the future, this authorization could affect the rights of the holders of common stock, thereby reducing the value of the common stock, and could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if a majority of the holders of our common stock approved of an acquisition. The issuance of our 10% convertible note payable will require us to record a non-cash expense which will, in turn, increase our net loss available to common shareholders. Based on current accounting standards, we recorded a non-cash expense of $638,495 as additional interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 as a result of the issuance of our 10% convertible note. We will record additional non-cash expenses of possibly $12 million or more during the fourth quarter of 1999 and the the three years ending December 31, 2002 related to this transaction. We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any decision by us to pay dividends on our common stock will depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available therefor, and other factors. We anticipate that we will devote profits, if any, to our future operations. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Some of the statements made in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus under the captions "Webb Interactive Services, Inc." and "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the reform act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should, or 10 continue or the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. To the extent that this prospectus contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of Webb, you should be aware that our actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by Webb in the forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify, in context, some of the factors that we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from their current expectations. These differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, intense competition, including entry of new competitors, ability to obtain sufficient financing to support our operations, progress in research and development activities, variations in costs that are beyond our control, changes in capital expenditure budgets for cable companies, adverse federal, state and local government regulation, inadequate capital, unexpected costs, lower sales and net income, or higher net losses than forecasted, price increases for equipment, inability to raise prices, failure to obtain new customers, the possible fluctuation and volatility of our operating results and financial condition, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives, and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this prospectus. USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offer and sale of the shares, however, 273,038 of the shares offered by the selling shareholder are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants of Webb at exercise prices of $11.44 and $18.51 per share. If these warrants were exercised in full, we would receive $4,088,197 in the aggregate. SELLING SHAREHOLDER The common stock covered by this prospectus consists of shares issued or issuable upon conversion of our $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10% convertible note due August 25, 2002 and warrants to purchase 273,038 shares of our common stock. The selling shareholder acquired all of its convertible note and one-half of the warrants in exchange for a cash investment given to Webb on August 25, 1999. The remaining warrants were issued to the selling shareholder on December 18, 1999, in connection with an amendment to the terms of the note. The number of shares that may be actually sold by the selling shareholder will be determined by such selling shareholder. Because the selling shareholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock which it holds, and because the offering contemplated by this prospectus is not currently being underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling shareholder upon termination of the offering. The following table sets forth certain information as of December 23, 1999, regarding the selling shareholder, including: * The name of the selling shareholder, * The beneficial ownership of common stock of the selling shareholder, and * The maximum number of shares of common stock offered by the selling shareholder. The information presented is based on data furnished to Webb by the selling shareholder and assumes a conversion price for the notes of $10.07 per share. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible note is subject to adjustment and could be materially less or more than the amounts set forth in the table below, depending on factors which we cannot predict at this time, including, among other factors, the future market price of the common stock. Under the registration rights agreement, we are required to register for resale by the selling shareholder 1,129,568 shares of our common stock. This amount is based upon: * The number of shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible note and exercise of the warrants, and 11 * The potential increase in the number of shares issuable with respect to the convertible note if the conversion price declines due to a decline in the market price for our common stock. If the warrants were exercised in full and all of the convertible note were converted at the conversion price of $10.07 per share, only 769,562 shares of common stock would be issued and available for resale under this prospectus. However, we cannot determine the exact number of shares of common stock that we will ultimately issue upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the convertible note if anti-dilution adjustments occur with respect to the warrants or the conversion price for the convertible note changes from the initial conversion price. Pursuant to their terms, the convertible note and warrants are convertible or exercisable by any holder only to the extent that the number of shares thereby issuable, together with the number of shares of common stock owned by such holder, but not including unconverted or unexercisable shares of convertible note or warrants, would not exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless such conversion is approved by the majority of the holders of our common stock. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock set forth in the third and fourth columns in the table below for the selling shareholder exceeds the number of shares of common stock that the selling shareholder beneficially owns in accordance with Section 13(d) as of December 23, 1999. This 4.99% limit may not prevent any holder from converting all of its convertible note or exercising its warrants, because the holder can convert or exercise convertible note and warrants into 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, then sell all of that stock to permit it to engage in further conversions or exercises. As a result, the 4.99% limit does not prevent the selling shareholder from selling more than 4.99% of our common stock.

(1) Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC beneficially owns 414,079 shares, determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3, and disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares other than these shares. As investment manager, pursuant to a management agreement with Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC, Castle Creek Partners, LLC may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC. Castle Creek Partners, LLC disclaims such beneficial ownership. John Ziegelman and Daniel Asher, as managing members of Castle Creek Partners, LLC, hold the voting and dispositive powers over the shares owned by Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC and may be deemed to be beneficial owners of the securities. Messrs. Ziegelman and Asher disclaim such beneficial ownership. (2) The selling shareholder has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase $5 million stated amount of our Series B. Preferred Stock with warrants attached. If the transaction is completed as contemplated, the selling shareholder would at the conclusion of this offering own preferred stock and warrants representing the right, based on current market prices for our common stock and without giving effect to any contractual limitations, to acquire approximately 390,000 shares of our common stock which would represent approximately 4.7% of the then outstanding shares. 12 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The sale of the shares offered by this prospectus may be made in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or other over-the-counter markets at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. These shares may be sold by one or more of the following: * A block trade in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction. * Purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by a broker or dealer for its account using this prospectus. * Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. * In privately negotiated transactions not involving a broker or dealer. Each sale may be made either at market prices prevailing at the time of such sale, at negotiated prices, at fixed prices which may be changed, or at prices related to prevailing market prices. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged to sell the shares may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers engaged to sell the shares will receive compensation in the form of commissions or discounts in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to each sale. These brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with these sales. Webb will receive no proceeds from any resales of the shares offered by this prospectus, and we anticipate that the brokers or dealers, if any, participating in the sales of the shares will receive the usual and customary selling commissions. If the warrants are exercised in full, Webb will receive $4,088,197. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares registered hereunder in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling shareholders. The selling shareholder may also sell shares short and deliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling shareholders may also enter into option, swaps, derivatives or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the shares registered hereunder, which the broker-dealer may resell pursuant to this Prospectus. The selling shareholders may also pledge the shares registered hereunder to a broker or dealer and upon a default, the broker or dealer may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus. From time to time the selling shareholders may be engaged in short sales, short sales against the box, puts and calls and other hedging transactions in our securities, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection with such transactions or in settlement of securities loans. These transactions may be entered into with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In addition, from time to time, a selling share holder may pledge its shares pursuant to the margin provisions of its customer agreements with its broker-dealer. Upon delivery of the shares or a default by a selling shareholder, the broker-dealer or financial institution may offer and sell the pledged shares from time to time. To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares will be sold in those states only through brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, the shares may not be sold in those states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in those states or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. If necessary, the specific shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We entered into a registration rights agreement in connection with the private placement of the convertible notes and the warrants which required us to register the underlying shares of our common stock under applicable federal and state securities laws under certain circumstances and at certain times. The registration rights agreement provides for cross-indemnification of the selling shareholder and us and each party's respective directors, officers and controlling persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offer and sale of the common stock, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and to contribute to payments the parties may be required to 13 make in respect thereof. We have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the selling shareholder from certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Under applicable rules and regulations under Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the common stock may not simultaneously engage in market making activities, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to the common stock for a specified period set forth in Regulation M prior to the commencement of such distribution and until its completion. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the selling shareholder will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling shareholder. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock. We will bear all expenses of the offering of the common stock, except that the selling shareholders will pay any applicable underwriting commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and transfer taxes, as well as the fees and disbursements of counsel to and experts for the selling shareholders. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES General Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue 25,000,000 shares of capital stock, including 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with rights, preferences and privileges as are determined by our board of directors. Common Stock As of December 23, 1999, we had 7,884,089 shares of common stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable and the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus will be, upon issuance, fully paid and nonassessable. The following is a summary of the material rights and privileges of our common stock. Voting. Holders of our common stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share held at all shareholder meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors. The holders of more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy, together with any preferred stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum at all meetings of our shareholders. The vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock present and entitled to vote at a meeting, together with any preferred stock present and entitled to vote at a meeting, will decide any question brought before the meeting, except when Colorado law, our articles of incorporation, or our bylaws require a greater vote and except when Colorado law requires a vote of any preferred stock issued and outstanding, voting as a separate class, to approve a matter brought before the meeting. Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting for the election of directors. Dividends. Holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds available for distribution. The payment of any dividends may be limited or prohibited by loan agreement provisions or priority dividends for preferred stock that may be outstanding. Preemptive Rights. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of our capital stock or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of our capital stock. Liquidation. If we liquidate or dissolve, the holders of each outstanding share of our common stock will be entitled to share equally in our assets legally available for distribution to our shareholders after payment of all liabilities and after distributions to holders of preferred stock legally entitled to be paid distributions prior to the payment of distributions to holders of our common stock. 14 Convertible Note On August 25, 1999, we issued $5,000,000 principal amount of a 10% convertible note. The following is a summary of the material terms of the 10% convertible note. Conversion Price. The convertible note is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $10.07 per share. If we complete a financing prior to March 22, 2000, of $10 million or more in which the selling shareholder has the right to invest $5 million, the conversion price between March 22, 2000 and September 30, 2000 will continue to be $10.07. If the financing is completed, the conversion price after September 29, 2000 will continue to be $10.07 per share unless the market price for our common stock at that time is less than $10.07. In this event, the conversion price will be adjusted and will be the greater of (i) the average of the five lowest closing bid prices during the period from September 1, 2000 through September 29, 2000 and (ii) $8.00. If we do not complete a $10 million financing by March 22, 2000, the convertible note will thereafter be convertible into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the principal amount of the convertible note by the lesser of (i) $10.07 and (ii) the average of the five lowest closing bid prices for our common stock during the 15 trading days prior to conversion. The number of shares of common stock that may ultimately be issued upon conversion is presently undeterminable and potentially unlimited and could fluctuate between a minimum of 496,524 shares if the market price of our common stock remains higher than $10.07, the maximum conversion price, and a maximum of 1,382,351 shares, unless Webb's shareholders approve an increase in the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the note. Purchasers of common stock could therefore experience substantial dilution upon conversion of the convertible note. To illustrate the potential dilution that may occur upon conversion of the convertible notes, the following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon conversion of the convertible note at various conversion prices, assuming that we have not completed a $10 million financing by March 22, 2000, and that the $8.00 minimum for the conversion price is therefore not effective. 15
Conversion Shares Issued Upon Percentage of Market Price Price Conversion Outstanding Shares - -------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------------------- -------------------------- $19.69 (actual price at 12/23/99) $10.070 496,524 5.7% $14.77 (75% of 12/23/99 price) $10.070 496,524 5.7% $9.84 (50% of 12/23/99 price) $ 9.84 507,939 5.9% $4.92 (25% of 12/23/99 price) $ 4.92 1,015,868 11.1%
- --------------- The variable conversion price formula of the convertible notes could affect the common stock as follows: * Reduction in Stock Price. If our common stock trades at a price less than the maximum conversion price of $10.07 per share, then the convertible note will be convertible into shares of our common stock at a variable rates based on future trading prices of the common stock and events that may occur in the future. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible note will be inversely proportional to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. * Effect of Additional Shares in Market. Even though the holder may not convert its notes into more than 4.99% of the outstanding stock at any one time, the holder may obtain and sell an aggregate of substantially more than 4.99% of our outstanding stock by converting and selling up to 4.99% of the outstanding shares in multiple transactions. To the extent that the holder of the convertible note converts and then sells its common stock, the common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market, allowing the holder to convert the convertible note into greater amounts of common stock, further depressing the stock price. * Interest Payable in Common Stock. In the event that we force the conversion of one-half of the convertible note, the interest payable on the convertible note may be paid in additional convertible notes or common stock at the selling shareholder's option. In this regard, the lower the common stock price, the more shares of common stock the holders of the convertible note will receive in payment of interest. * Impact of Dilution. The additional shares issued upon conversion of the convertible note would dilute the percentage interest of each of our existing common shareholders, and this dilution would increase as more shares of common stock are issued due to the impact of the variable conversion price. Each additional issuance of shares upon conversion would increase the supply of shares in the market and, as a result, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. The effect of this increased supply of common stock leading to a lower market price may be magnified if there are sequential conversions of convertible note. Specifically, the selling shareholder could convert a portion of its convertible note and then sell the common stock issued upon conversion, which likely would result in a drop in our stock price. Then the selling shareholder could convert another portion of its convertible note at a lower conversion price because of the decreased stock price, and be issued a greater number of shares of common stock due to the lower conversion price. If it then sold shares of common stock, our stock price would likely decrease again, permitting the selling shareholder to do more conversions at a conversion price even more favorable to it. A pattern of such partial conversions and sales could increase the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the convertible notes above what it would otherwise be, and could place significant downward pressure on our stock price. This downward pressure on our stock price might encourage market participants to sell our stock short, which would put further downward pressure on our stock price, and further decrease the conversion price and increase the dilution of our existing common shareholders upon conversion of the convertible note. Forced Conversion; Redemption. We can force the selling shareholder to convert up to $2,500,000 of the convertible note if the average of the closing trade prices for the 15 consecutive trading days after the date of this prospectus is at least $12.50. We can also prepay the promissory note at any time after August 25, 2000, if the closing bid price for our common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least 200% of the conversion price then 16 in effect. The redemption price would equal 115% of the face amount of the convertible note, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Interest. The convertible note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. If we force the conversion of one-half of the convertible note, the selling shareholder may elect to have the interest on the convertible note paid either in shares of our common stock or by the issuance of additional convertible notes. In this event, we could be required to pay approximately $660,000 in interest in additional shares of common stock or convertible notes. If the selling shareholder elected to have the interest paid in convertible notes, we could be required to pay interest of approximately $80,000 on the additional notes issued in payment of interest on the convertible note. This combination could result in approximately $740,000 of principal and interest in addition to the original $5 million principal amount of the note that could be converted into shares of our common stock. At a conversion price of $10.07, this would result in an additional approximately 73,500 shares of our common stock. If the market value of our common stock stays above $10.07, the issuance of notes to pay interest would also result in an effective interest rate of more than 10%. For example, if our market price was $19.69, the closing price on December 23, 1999, the selling shareholder could exercise its right to have interest paid in notes which would be immediately convertible into common stock with an economic value approximately 96% more than if the interest had been paid in cash. This would be an effective interest rate of 19.6%. The terms of the convertible note limit the maximum number of shares which can be issued pursuant to the conversion of the note and the exercise of the warrants issued to the selling shareholder to $1,518,870 shares of common stock prior to our obtaining shareholder approval of the transaction. In the event that the maximum number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants was to exceed this maximum number of shares and we could not obtain shareholder approval of the transaction, the interest rate on the note would be increased to 14%. Registration Rights. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement under which the convertible note were issued, we filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, with respect to the resale of the shares and agreed to use our best efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective until such date as all of the shares have been resold, or such time as all of the shares held by the selling shareholder can be sold immediately without compliance with the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise. Warrants The selling shareholder also has been granted two five-year warrants for 136,519 shares each, one exercisable at $11.44 per share and one exercisable at $18.51 per share. If we complete a financing of at least $10 million by March 22, 2000, the exercise price for both warrants will be subject to adjustment on September 29, 2000, if the market price for our common stock is then less than the exercise price of the warrants. In this event, the exercise price will be equal to the average closing bid prices for the period from September 1, 2000 through September 29, 2000. The warrants are also subject to anti-dilution protection in the event of the issuance of our common stock at prices less than the exercise prices for the warrants or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. 10% Preferred Stock As of December 23, 1999, 85,000 shares of our 10% Preferred Stock were outstanding. The following is a summary of the rights, privileges and preferences of the 10% Preferred Stock. Voting. Each share of 10% Preferred Stock entitles the holder to one vote per share. The holders of the common stock and the 10% Preferred Stock vote as a single class on all matters on which our shareholders vote, except where otherwise required by law. The holders of the 10% Preferred Stock do not have cumulative voting for the election of directors. Dividends. The cumulative noncompounded dividend on the 10% Preferred Stock is 10% per annum based on the stated value of $10.00 per share, payable quarterly as permitted by law, or upon the redemption or 17 conversion of the 10% Preferred Stock into common stock. We may not declare or pay any dividends on the common stock unless we first declare and pay all unpaid dividends on the 10% Preferred Stock. Redemption and Conversion. We may redeem the 10% Preferred Stock at any time for $10.00 per share. Each share of the outstanding 10% Preferred Stock is convertible, at the election of the holder thereof, into the number of shares of our common stock equal to $10.00 divided by the lesser of (i) $10.00 or (ii) 80% of the average per share closing bid price of the our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the election by the holder to convert. At any time while any shares of the 10% Preferred Stock are outstanding, we may not incur any obligations (other than trade payables and other indebtedness) that are senior to the 10% Preferred Stock in any respect, including liquidation. Upon any redemption or conversion of the 10% Preferred Stock, we have the option to pay the accrued but unpaid cumulative dividends on the 10% Preferred Stock either (i) in cash, or (ii) by issuing additional shares of common stock. Preemptive Rights. The holders of the 10% Preferred Stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of our capital stock or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of our capital stock. Liquidation Preference. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, whether voluntary or otherwise, after we pay our debts and other liabilities, the holders of the 10% Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive from our remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of our common stock, the amount of $10.00 per share of 10% Preferred Stock in cash plus payment of all accrued but unpaid cumulative dividends. Holders of the 10% Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive any other payments if we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: (a) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, (b) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement, and (c) to include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution; (2) to treat, for determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. B. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant as discussed above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT Exhibit 10.3 December 18, 1999 Webb Interactive Services, Inc. 1800 Glenarm Place, 8th Floor Denver, Colorado 80202 Attn.: Chairman of the Board RE: Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement Dated August 25, 1999 ("Securities Purchase Agreement"), Stock Purchase Warrant Dated August 25, 1999 ("Warrant") and Registration Rights Agreement Dated August 25, 1999 ("Registration Rights Agreement") Gentlemen: Effective on the date hereof, Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (the "Company") and Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC ("Castle Creek") have entered into a First Amendment to the 10% Promissory Note issued by the Company to Castle Creek on August 25, 1999 (the "First Amendment"). In connection with the First Amendment, Castle Creek agreed to make certain amendments to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement. This letter confirms that, upon receipt by Castle Creek of (i) the First Amendment duly executed by the Company and (ii) the new Warrant and the First Warrant, as provided in Section 3 of the First Amendment, the Securities Purchase Agreement, Warrant and Registration Rights Agreements shall be amended as follows: Securities Purchase Agreement 1. Upon consummation prior to March 22, 2000 of an equity-like financing raising proceeds for the Company of not less than $10 million in which Castle Creek has been given the right to invest not less than $5 million on terms no less favorable than are offered to any other investor, Section 4.5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety. In the event that Castle Creek participates in such an equity-like financing, Sections 8.13, 8.14, 8.15, 8.19, 8.20 and 8.25 shall be deleted in their entirety. Warrant Section 4(l) shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefore: Key Officer and Director Transfers. If any Key Officer (as defined below) or director (in each case, or any member of his/her family or any trust or other entity for the benefit of any member of his/her family), during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is six months after the registration statement required pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective, and while such person is a Key Officer or director, directly or indirectly, offers, sells, transfers, assigns, pledges, or otherwise disposes of any shares of Common Stock, or any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or warrants, options or rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (all such securities, "Options") or enter into any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with respect to any such offer, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition of any Common Stock or Options or provides or files any public notice, including pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, of a bona fide intent to dispose of a specified amount of Common Stock or Options (an "Executive Transfer"), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced by twenty (20) percent of that Exercise Price calculated pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Key Officers or directors (and all such entities for the benefit of any members of his/her family, collectively) may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of (except by gift to family members or charitable organizations) up to 20,000 shares in the aggregate prior to December 31, 1999 and during the 6-month period following the effective date of the registration statement, a Key Officer or director (and all such entities for the benefit of any members of his/her family, collectively) may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of up to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of his or her total holdings as of the Issue Date determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (ii) 25,000 shares of Common Stock without triggering the adjustments of this Section.

Cullen, Perry Evans, Andre Durand, Gwenael Hagan and Simon Greenman and any person who assumes or performs the duties of any other Key Officer.

The Company issued to Castle Creek a 10% Promissory Note dated August 25, 1999 in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "Note"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note. B. The Company has requested that Castle Creek make certain amendments to the Note and Castle Creek is willing to do so subject to the terms and conditions of this First Amendment. AGREEMENT --------- Now, therefore, in consideration of the continued performance by the Company of its obligations under the Note, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Castle Creek hereby agree as follows: 1. Ratification and Incorporation of Note. Except as expressly modified under this First Amendment (a) the Company hereby acknowledges, confirms, and ratifies all of the terms and conditions set forth in, and all of its obligations under, the Note, and (b) all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Note are incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth in full herein. The Company represents that it has no offset, defense, counterclaim, dispute or disagreement of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the amount owing under the Note. 2. Amendments to Note. (a) The third paragraph of the Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefore: At the option of the Holder, from and after the completion of the Company Conversion (as defined below), interest accruing after the Company Conversion may be paid in notes in the form hereof ("PIK Notes") or in shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"). Interest accruing prior to the Company Conversion shall be paid in cash. If the Holder determines to receive interest in shares of Common Stock or cash, it shall notify the Company at least three business days in advance of the applicable Interest Payment Date, otherwise the interest shall be paid in PIK Notes. The principal amount of PIK Notes to be issued as interest shall be equal to the dollar amount of interest due at the time of payment. The number of shares of Common Stock issued as interest shall be the number determined by dividing the dollar amount of interest due by the greater of (i) an amount equal to the average of the Closing Bid Prices (as defined herein) of the Common Stock for the ten (10) business days prior to the date interest is so paid or (ii) $8.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any terms that are defined in the third paragraph of the Note prior to the date of this First Amendment that are used elsewhere in the Note from and after the date of this First Amendment but not otherwise defined in the Note shall continue to have the meanings ascribed to such terms after the date of this First Amendment. (b) The first paragraph of Section 1.2(a) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor: The Company shall have the right ("Prepayment at Company's Election") to prepay, subject to the limitations herein contained, all or any portion of the then outstanding Notes (other than Notes which are the subject of a Notice of Conversion (as herein defined) delivered prior to the delivery date of prepayment) for the Optional Prepayment Amount if, at any time after August 25, 2000, the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Conversion Price then in effect for each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery to the Holders of the Optional Prepayment Notice in accordance with the prepayment procedures set forth in this Article I (the "200% Election"). Any Prepayment at Company's Election pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be made ratably among Holders in proportion to the principal amount of Notes then outstanding. Holders may convert all or any part of their Notes selected for prepayment hereunder into Common Stock at the Conversion Price by delivering a Notice of Conversion to the Company at any time prior to the Effective Time of Prepayment (as defined herein). The Optional Prepayment Amount is 115% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest of the Notes being prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any terms that are defined in Section 1.2 of the Note prior to the date of this First Amendment that are used elsewhere in the Note from and after the date of this First Amendment but not otherwise defined in the Note shall continue to have the meanings ascribed to such terms after the date of this First Amendment. (c) The definition of "Conversion Amount" in Section 2.1 is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefore: "Conversion Amount" means (i) the portion of the principal amount of this Note elected by Holder to be converted (the "Selected Amount"), which amount may be all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note plus (ii) an amount equal to the product of (A) N divided by 365 times (B) .10 times (C) the Selected Amount. (d) The definition of "Conversion Price" in Section 2.1 is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefore: "Conversion Price" means (i) with respect to any Conversion Date prior to March 22, 2000, the Fixed Conversion Price, and (ii) with respect to any Conversion Date on or after March 22, 2000, the lower of the Fixed Conversion Price and the Variable Conversion Price; provided, however, upon consummation prior to March 22, 2000 of an equity or equity-like financing raising proceeds for the Company of not less than $10 million in which Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC has the right to elect to invest not less than $5 million on terms no less favorable than are offered to any other investor in the financing pursuant to its right pursuant to Section 4.5(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Permanent Financing"), then the Conversion Price thereafter means the Fixed Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustments as provided herein. (e) The definition of "Fixed Conversion Price" in Section 2.1 is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor: "Fixed Conversion Price" means (i) prior to September 30, 2000, $10.07 and (ii) on and after September 30, 2000, if the Permanent Financing is consummated, the lower of (A) $10.07, and (B) the greater of (x) the average of the Closing Bid Prices for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on September 29, 2000 and (y) $8.00 (adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar events). The Fixed Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as provided herein. (f) Section 3.1 is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor: Conversion at the Option of the Holder. Subject to the limitations on conversions contained in Section 3.7 hereof, the Holder may, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, convert (an "Optional Conversion") a Conversion Amount into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the number determined by dividing such Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price. (g) The following new Section 3.10 is inserted immediately following Section 3.9: Section 3.10 Company Conversion Option. (a) If the average of the closing trade prices for the Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the 15 consecutive trading days commencing on the day after the Registration Statement is declared effective (the "Conversion Option Period"), is greater than or equal to $12.50 (adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar events), then the Company may require the Holder to convert up to $2,500,000 of principal amount of this Note in accordance with this Article III (a "Company Conversion"). The Company Conversion shall be made ratably among Holders in proportion to the principal amount of Notes.

Right to Purchase 136,519 Shares of Common Stock, no par value Date: August 25, 1999, amended December 18, 1999 WEBB INTERACTIVE SERVICES, INC. STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC ("Castle Creek"), or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from Webb Interactive Services, Inc., a Colorado corporation doing business as Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (the "Company"), at any time or from time to time during the period specified in Section 2 hereof, 136,519 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise price of $11.44 per share (the "Exercise Price"). Subject to the completion by the Company prior to March 22, 2000 of an equity or equity-like financing raising proceeds for the Company of not less than $10 million in which Castle Creek has the right to invest not less than $5 million, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted and shall be effective September 30, 2000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof, the lower of (i) the Exercise Price in effect on September 29, 2000, or (ii) a price which is equal to the average of the Closing Bid Prices for the Company's Common Stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on September 29, 2000. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 25, 1999, as amended on December 18, 1999, by and between the Company and Castle Creek (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder (the "Warrant Shares") and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof. The term "Closing Bid Price" means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder hereof (the "Holder") if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting closing bid prices of such security (collectively, "Bloomberg"), or if the foregoing does not apply, the last reported sale price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no sale price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the "pink sheets" by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined by an investment banking firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by the Company. This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and conditions: 1. Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the limitations contained in Section 8(f) hereof, this Warrant may be exercised as follows: (a) Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (or evidence of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation thereof in accordance with Section 8(c) hereof), together with a completed exercise agreement in the Form of Exercise Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Exercise Agreement"), to the Company at the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder), and upon (i) payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company, of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the Holder elects to effect a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 12(c) below), delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to effect a Cashless Exercise for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder or Holder's designees, as the record owner of such shares, as of the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment (or notice of an election to effect a Cashless Exercise) shall have been made for such shares as set forth above. (b) Issuance of Certificates. Subject to Section 1(c), certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised (the "Delivery Period"). The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of Holder or such other name as shall be designated by such 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 such certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. (c) Exercise Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to an exercise, the Company shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock as are not disputed in accordance with this Section. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Exercise Price, the Company shall submit the disputed calculations to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm (selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Holder) via facsimile within three (3) business days of receipt of the Exercise Agreement. The accounting firm shall audit the calculations and notify the Company and the converting Holder of the results no later than two (2) business days from the date it receives the disputed calculations. The accounting firm's calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The Company shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section. (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Exercise Price of a share of Common Stock (as determined for exercise of this Warrant into whole shares of Common Stock); provided that in the event that sufficient funds are not legally available for the payment of such cash adjustment any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next whole number. 2. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof and before 5:00 P.M., Central Standard Time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof (the "Exercise Period"). 3. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows: (a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances. (b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant. (c) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon the Nasdaq Small Cap Market ("Nasdaq") and use its best efforts to secure the listing of its securities on the Nasdaq National Market System, or the New York Stock Exchange, as required by Section 4.9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and upon each such national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or become listed and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system. (d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter 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 actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the Holder of this Warrant, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may at all times validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 4. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent. (a) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c) and 4(e) hereof, if and whenever after the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the greater of the then current Market Price (as herein defined) and the then current Exercise Price on the date of issuance (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: E' = (E) (O + P/M) / (CSDO) where: E' = the adjusted Exercise Price E = the then current Exercise Price; M = the greater of the then current Market Price and the then current Exercise Price; O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance; P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Section 4(b) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance; and CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as herein defined) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance. (b) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 4(a) hereof, the following will be applicable: (i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities"), but not to include the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee or Director benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options"), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the greater of the Exercise Price or the Market Price on the date of issuance ("Below Market Options"), then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Below Market Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of such Below Market Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Below Market Options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Below Market Options. (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. (1) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange (as determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(B) if applicable) is less than the greater of the Market Price or the Exercise Price then in effect on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuances of such Common Stock upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (2) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities with a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio (a "Variable Rate Convertible Security"), then the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange for purposes of the calculation contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii)(A) shall be deemed to be the lowest price per share which would be applicable assuming that (1) all holding period and other conditions to any discounts contained in such Convertible Security have been satisfied, and (2) the Market Price on the date of issuance of such Convertible Security was 80% of the Market Price on such date (the "Assumed Variable Market Price"). (iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Except for the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee or Director benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, if there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange or any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. (iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Options or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Options or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued. (v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair market value of such consideration except where such consideration consists of freely-tradeable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in the good faith reasonable business judgment of the Board of Directors. (vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities issued and outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee or Director benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or the Warrant in accordance with terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement; or (iv) upon the exercise of the Warrant. (c) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. (d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price. (e) Major Transactions. If the Company shall consolidate or merge with any other corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged and unissued in such transaction (except for issuances which do not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock)) or there shall occur any share exchange pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities or property or any such other reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its assets (each of the foregoing being a "Major Transaction"), then the holder of this Warrant may, at its option, either (a) in the event that the Common Stock remains outstanding or holders of Common Stock receive any common stock or substantially similar equity interest, in each of the foregoing cases which is publicly traded, retain this Warrant and this Warrant shall continue to apply to such Common Stock or shall apply, as nearly as practicable, to such other common stock or equity interest, as the case may be, or (b) regardless of whether (a) applies, receive consideration, in exchange for this Warrant (without payment of any exercise price hereunder), equal to the greater of, as determined in the sole discretion of such holder, (i) the number of shares of stock or securities or property of the Company, or of the entity resulting from such Major Transaction (the "Major Transaction Consideration"), to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant (pursuant to the cashless exercise feature hereof) would have been entitled upon such Major Transaction had such holder so exercised this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere contained) on the trading date immediately preceding the public announcement of the transaction resulting in such Major Transaction and had such Common Stock been issued and outstanding and had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock at the time of the consummation of such Major Transaction, and (ii) cash paid by the Company in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Black-Scholes Amount (as defined herein) times the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein contained and assuming payment of the exercise payment in cash hereunder) but in no event shall such amount exceed the Black Scholes value of the Warrant as of the Closing Date as determined by the Company's Auditors, and the Company shall make lawful provision for the foregoing as a part of such Major Transaction and shall cause the issuer of any security in such transaction which constitutes Registrable Securities under that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated August 25, 1999 by and between the Company and Castle Creek (the "Registration Rights Agreement") to assume all of the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. In the event that the Company shall consolidate or merge with any other corporation in a transaction in which common stock of the surviving corporation or the parent thereof (the "Exchange Securities") is issued to the holders of Common Stock in such transaction in exchange for all such Common Stock, and (a) the Exchange Securities are publicly traded, (b) the average daily dollar trading volume of the Exchange Securities during the one hundred eighty (180) day period ending on the date on which such transaction is publicly disclosed is greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per day as reported by Bloomberg, (c) the historical one hundred (100) day volatility of the Exchange Securities during the period ending on the date on which such transaction is publicly disclosed is greater than fifty percent (50%), and (d) the market capitalization of the issuer of the Exchange Securities is not less than One hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00) based on the last sale price of the Exchange Securities on the date immediately before the date on which such transaction is publicly disclosed (in each case, with respect to the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), as reported by Bloomberg), then the provisions of clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall not apply. In the event that the Company shall, in a Major Transaction, consolidate or merge with any other corporation in a transaction in which the Company is the survivor (a "Company Transaction"), the provisions of clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that each of the following conditions remain true for the thirty (30) business days commencing as of the date of the consummation of such transaction (the "Measurement Period"): (a) the Common Stock remains publicly traded during the period, (b) the average daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock is greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), (c) the historical thirty (30) day volatility of the Company's Common Stock is greater than fifty percent (50%), and (d) the market capitalization of the Company is not less than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00) on the last day of the period (in each case, with respect to the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), as reported by Bloomberg. No sooner than ten (10) business days nor later than five (5) business days prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice ("Notice of Major Transaction") to each holder of a Warrant, which Notice of Major Transaction shall be deemed to have been delivered one (1) business day after the Company's sending such notice by telecopy (provided that the Company sends a confirming copy of such notice on the same day by overnight courier) of such Notice of Major Transaction. Such Notice of Major Transaction shall indicate the amount and type of the Major Transaction consideration which such holder of a Warrant would receive under this Section. If the Major Transaction Consideration is cash and does not consist entirely of United States currency, such holder may elect to receive United States currency in an amount equal to the value of the Major Transaction Consideration in lieu of the Major Transaction Consideration by delivering notice of such election to the Company within five (5) business days of such holder's receipt of the Notice of Major Transaction. The "Black-Scholes Amount" shall be the amount determined by calculating the "Black-Scholes" value of an option to purchase one share of Common Stock on the applicable page on the Bloomberg online page, using the following variable values: (i) the current market price of the Common Stock equal to the closing trade price on the last trading day before the date of the Notice of the Major Transaction; (ii) volatility of the Common Stock equal to the volatility of the common Stock during the 100 trading day period preceding the date of the Notice of the Major Transaction; (iii) a risk free rate equal to the interest rate on the United States treasury bill or treasury note with a maturity corresponding to the remaining term of this Warrant on the date of the Notice of the Major Transaction; and (iv) an exercise price equal to the Exercise Price on the date of the Notice of the Major Transaction. In the event such calculation function is no longer available utilizing the Bloomberg online page, the Holder shall calculate such amount in its sole discretion using the closest available alternative mechanism and variable values to those available utilizing the Bloomberg online page for such calculation function. (f) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company's shareholders of cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, then the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets (or rights) which would have been payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution. (g) Special Adjustment and Notices of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial officer of the Company. If the Company takes any actions (including under or by virtue of Section 4 of the Warrant) which would have a dilutive effect on the Holder or which would materially and adversely affect the Holder with respect to its investment in the Warrant, and if the provisions of Section 4 of the Warrant, are not strictly applicable to such actions or, if applicable to such actions, would not operate to equitably protect the Holder against such actions, then the Company shall promptly upon notice from Holder appoint its independent certified public accountants to determine as promptly as practicable an appropriate adjustment to the terms hereof, including without limitation adjustments to the Exercise Price, or another appropriate action to so equitably protect such Holder and prevent any such dilution and any such material adverse effect, as the case may be. Following such determination, the Company shall forthwith make the adjustments or take the other actions described therein. (h) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price. (i) [Intentionally Omitted] (h) Other Notices. In case at any time: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution to the holders of the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or entity; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Holder (a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's books are closed in respect thereto, but in no event earlier than public announcement of such proposed transaction or event. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. (i) Certain Definitions. (1) "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) in case of any adjustment required by Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Options, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Options for which the adjustment is required (including any Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options), and (y) in the case of any adjustment required by Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities for which the adjustment is required, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any. (2) "Market Price," as of any date, (i) means the average of the Closing Bid Prices for the shares of Common Stock as reported to Nasdaq for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding such date, or (ii) if Nasdaq is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, the average of the last reported bid prices on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the same period, or, if there is no bid price for such period, the last reported sales price for such period, or (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the average fair market value as reasonably determined by an investment banking firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrant, with the costs of the appraisal to be borne by the Company. The manner of determining the Market Price of the Common Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be made hereunder. (3) "Common Stock," for purposes of this Section 4, includes the Common Stock and any additional class of stock of the Company having no preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation, provided that the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only Common Stock in respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares resulting from any subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the case of any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of the character referred to in Section 4(e) hereof, the stock or other securities or property provided for in such Section. (j) Key Officer or Director Transfers. If any Key Officer (as defined below) or director (in each case, or any member of his/her family or any trust or other entity for the benefit of any member of his/her family), during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is six months after the registration statement required pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective, and while such person is a Key Officer or director, directly or indirectly, offers, sells, transfers, assigns, pledges, or otherwise disposes (except by gift to family members or charitable organizations) of any shares of Common Stock, or any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or warrants, options or rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (all such securities, "Options") or enter into any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with respect to any such offer, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition of any Common Stock or Options or provides or files any public notice, including pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, of a bona fide intent to dispose of a specified amount of Common Stock or Options (an "Executive Transfer"), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced by twenty (20) percent of that Exercise Price calculated pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Key Officers or directors (and all such entities for the benefit of any members of his/her family, collectively) may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of up to 20,000 shares in the aggregate prior to December 31, 1999 and during the six-month period following the effective date of the registration statement, a Key Officer or director (and all such entities for the benefit of any members of his/her family, collectively) may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of up to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of his or her total holdings as of the Issue Date determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (ii) 25,000 shares of Common Stock without triggering the adjustments of this Section. For purposes of this Section, Key Officer shall mean R. Steven Adams, Lindley S. Branson, William R. Cullen, Perry Evans, Andre Durand, Gwenael Hagan and Simon Greenman and any person who assumes or performs the duties of any other Key Officer. 5. Intentionally omitted. 6. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs 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 certificate in a name other than the Holder. 7. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder 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 to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the 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. 8. Transfer, Exchange, Redemption and Replacement of Warrant. a. Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted to the Holder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the Form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit 2, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 8(e) below, provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 and 5.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Until due presentment for registration of transfer on the books of the Company, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the registration rights described in Section 9 hereof are assignable only in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. b. Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 8(e) below, for new Warrants, in the form hereof, of different denominations representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the Holder of at the time of such surrender. c. Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant or, 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, in the form hereof, in such denominations as Holder may request. d. Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in this Section 8, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Company shall pay all issuance taxes (other than securities transfer taxes) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 8. e. Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder), 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. Additional Restriction on Exercise or Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder to the extent (but only to the extent) that, if exercisable by Holder, Holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Applicable Percentage") of the shares of Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-a-vis other securities owned by Holder which contain similar limitations on conversion) and of which Warrants shall be exercisable (as among Warrants) shall be made on the basis of the earliest submission of the Warrants (vis-a-vis other securities owned by the Holder which contain similar limitations on conversion and vis a vis other Warrants), in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation. No prior inability to exercise Warrants pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations, including without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership, shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D and G thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph may be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 8(f) with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder: (i) with respect to any matter to cure any ambiguity herein, to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Applicable Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Applicable Percentage limitation; and (ii) with respect to any other matter, with the further consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. For clarification, it is expressly a term of this security that the limitations contained in this Section shall apply to each successor Holder. The holders of Common Stock of the Company shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8(f) and the Company may not waive this Section 8(f) without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. 9. Registration Rights. The initial holder of this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the benefit of such registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 10. Notices. Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served or delivered by courier or by confirmed telecopy, and shall be deemed delivered at the time and date of receipt (which shall include telephone line facsimile transmission).

The Company irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States federal courts located in the State of New York in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under this Warrant and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in such courts. The Company irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. The Company agrees that a final nonappealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner. 12. Miscellaneous. 12.1 Amendments. This Warrant and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. 12.2 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Warrant are inserted for purposes of reference only, and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. 12.3 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written notice of the Holder's intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then current Market Price per share of the Common Stock and the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be such then current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section 12(c), so long as a Registration Statement is effective and is available for immediate use pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated even date herewith, the Holder shall not have the rights provided to it under this provision. 12.4 Assignability.

Subject to the completion by the Company prior to March 22, 2000 of an equity or equity-like financing raising proceeds for the Company of not less than $10 million in which Castle Creek has the right to invest not less than $5 million, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted and shall be effective September 30, 2000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof, the lower of (i) the Exercise Price in effect on September 29, 2000, or (ii) a price which is equal to the average of the Closing Bid Prices for the Company's Common Stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on September 29, 2000. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 25, 1999, as amended on December 18, 1999, by and between the Company and Castle Creek (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder (the "Warrant Shares") and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof. The term "Closing Bid Price" means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder hereof (the "Holder") if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting closing bid prices of such security (collectively, "Bloomberg"), or if the foregoing does not apply, the last reported sale price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no sale price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the "pink sheets" by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.

This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and conditions: 1. Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the limitations contained in Section 8(f) hereof, this Warrant may be exercised as follows: (a) Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (or evidence of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation thereof in accordance with Section 8(c) hereof), together with a completed exercise agreement in the Form of Exercise Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Exercise Agreement"), to the Company at the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder), and upon (i) payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company, of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the Holder elects to effect a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 12(c) below), delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to effect a Cashless Exercise for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder or Holder's designees, as the record owner of such shares, as of the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment (or notice of an election to effect a Cashless Exercise) shall have been made for such shares as set forth above. (b) Issuance of Certificates. Subject to Section 1(c), certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised (the "Delivery Period"). The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of Holder or such other name as shall be designated by such 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 such certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. (c) Exercise Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to an exercise, the Company shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock as are not disputed in accordance with this Section. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Exercise Price, the Company shall submit the disputed calculations to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm (selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Holder) via facsimile within three (3) business days of receipt of the Exercise Agreement. The accounting firm shall audit the calculations and notify the Company and the converting Holder of the results no later than two (2) business days from the date it receives the disputed calculations. The accounting firm's calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The Company shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section. (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Exercise Price of a share of Common Stock (as determined for exercise of this Warrant into whole shares of Common Stock); provided that in the event that sufficient funds are not legally available for the payment of such cash adjustment any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next whole number. 2. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof and before 5:00 P.M., Central Standard Time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof (the "Exercise Period"). 3. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows: (a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances. (b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant. (c) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon the Nasdaq Small Cap Market ("Nasdaq") and use its best efforts to secure the listing of its securities on the Nasdaq National Market System, or the New York Stock Exchange, as required by Section 4.9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and upon each such national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or become listed and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system. (d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter 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 actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the Holder of this Warrant, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may at all times validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 4. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent. (a) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c) and 4(e) hereof, if and whenever after the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the greater of the then current Market Price (as herein defined) and the then current Exercise Price on the date of issuance (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: E' = (E) (O + P/M) / (CSDO) where: E' = the adjusted Exercise Price E = the then current Exercise Price; M = the greater of the then current Market Price and the then current Exercise Price; O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance; P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Section 4(b) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance; and CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as herein defined) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance. (b) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 4(a) hereof, the following will be applicable: (i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities"), but not to include the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee or Director benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options"), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the greater of the Exercise Price or the Market Price on the date of issuance ("Below Market Options"), then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Below Market Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of such Below Market Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Below Market Options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Below Market Options. (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. (1) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange (as determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(B) if applicable) is less than the greater of the Market Price or the Exercise Price then in effect on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuances of such Common Stock upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (2) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities with a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio (a "Variable Rate Convertible Security"), then the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange for purposes of the calculation contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii)(A) shall be deemed to be the lowest price per share which would be applicable assuming that (1) all holding period and other conditions to any discounts contained in such Convertible Security have been satisfied, and (2) the Market Price on the date of issuance of such Convertible Security was 80% of the Market Price on such date (the "Assumed Variable Market Price"). (iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Except for the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee or Director benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, if there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange or any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. (iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Options or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Options or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued. (v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair market value of such consideration except where such consideration consists of freely-tradeable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in the good faith reasonable business judgment of the Board of Directors. (vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities issued and outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee or Director benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or the Warrant in accordance with terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement; or (iv) upon the exercise of the Warrant. (c) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. (d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price. (e) Major Transactions. If the Company shall consolidate or merge with any other corporation or entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged and unissued in such transaction (except for issuances which do not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock)) or there shall occur any share exchange pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities or property or any such other reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its assets (each of the foregoing being a "Major Transaction"), then the holder of this Warrant may, at its option, either (a) in the event that the Common Stock remains outstanding or holders of Common Stock receive any common stock or substantially similar equity interest, in each of the foregoing cases which is publicly traded, retain this Warrant and this Warrant shall continue to apply to such Common Stock or shall apply, as nearly as practicable, to such other common stock or equity interest, as the case may be, or (b) regardless of whether (a) applies, receive consideration, in exchange for this Warrant (without payment of any exercise price hereunder), equal to the greater of, as determined in the sole discretion of such holder, (i) the number of shares of stock or securities or property of the Company, or of the entity resulting from such Major Transaction (the "Major Transaction Consideration"), to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant (pursuant to the cashless exercise feature hereof) would have been entitled upon such Major Transaction had such holder so exercised this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere contained) on the trading date immediately preceding the public announcement of the transaction resulting in such Major Transaction and had such Common Stock been issued and outstanding and had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock at the time of the consummation of such Major Transaction, and (ii) cash paid by the Company in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Black-Scholes Amount (as defined herein) times the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein contained and assuming payment of the exercise payment in cash hereunder) but in no event shall such amount exceed the Black Scholes value of the Warrant as of the Closing Date as determined by the Company's Auditors, and the Company shall make lawful provision for the foregoing as a part of such Major Transaction and shall cause the issuer of any security in such transaction which constitutes Registrable Securities under that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated August 25, 1999 by and between the Company and Castle Creek (the "Registration Rights Agreement") to assume all of the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. In the event that the Company shall consolidate or merge with any other corporation in a transaction in which common stock of the surviving corporation or the parent thereof (the "Exchange Securities") is issued to the holders of Common Stock in such transaction in exchange for all such Common Stock, and (a) the Exchange Securities are publicly traded, (b) the average daily dollar trading volume of the Exchange Securities during the one hundred eighty (180) day period ending on the date on which such transaction is publicly disclosed is greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per day as reported by Bloomberg, (c) the historical one hundred (100) day volatility of the Exchange Securities during the period ending on the date on which such transaction is publicly disclosed is greater than fifty percent (50%), and (d) the market capitalization of the issuer of the Exchange Securities is not less than One hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00) based on the last sale price of the Exchange Securities on the date immediately before the date on which such transaction is publicly disclosed (in each case, with respect to the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), as reported by Bloomberg), then the provisions of clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall not apply. In the event that the Company shall, in a Major Transaction, consolidate or merge with any other corporation in a transaction in which the Company is the survivor (a "Company Transaction"), the provisions of clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that each of the following conditions remain true for the thirty (30) business days commencing as of the date of the consummation of such transaction (the "Measurement Period"): (a) the Common Stock remains publicly traded during the period, (b) the average daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock is greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), (c) the historical thirty (30) day volatility of the Company's Common Stock is greater than fifty percent (50%), and (d) the market capitalization of the Company is not less than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00) on the last day of the period (in each case, with respect to the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), as reported by Bloomberg. No sooner than ten (10) business days nor later than five (5) business days prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice ("Notice of Major Transaction") to each holder of a Warrant, which Notice of Major Transaction shall be deemed to have been delivered one (1) business day after the Company's sending such notice by telecopy (provided that the Company sends a confirming copy of such notice on the same day by overnight courier) of such Notice of Major Transaction. Such Notice of Major Transaction shall indicate the amount and type of the Major Transaction consideration which such holder of a Warrant would receive under this Section. If the Major Transaction Consideration is cash and does not consist entirely of United States currency, such holder may elect to receive United States currency in an amount equal to the value of the Major Transaction Consideration in lieu of the Major Transaction Consideration by delivering notice of such election to the Company within five (5) business days of such holder's receipt of the Notice of Major Transaction. The "Black-Scholes Amount" shall be the amount determined by calculating the "Black-Scholes" value of an option to purchase one share of Common Stock on the applicable page on the Bloomberg online page, using the following variable values: (i) the current market price of the Common Stock equal to the closing trade price on the last trading day before the date of the Notice of the Major Transaction; (ii) volatility of the Common Stock equal to the volatility of the common Stock during the 100 trading day period preceding the date of the Notice of the Major Transaction; (iii) a risk free rate equal to the interest rate on the United States treasury bill or treasury note with a maturity corresponding to the remaining term of this Warrant on the date of the Notice of the Major Transaction; and (iv) an exercise price equal to the Exercise Price on the date of the Notice of the Major Transaction. In the event such calculation function is no longer available utilizing the Bloomberg online page, the Holder shall calculate such amount in its sole discretion using the closest available alternative mechanism and variable values to those available utilizing the Bloomberg online page for such calculation function. (f) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company's shareholders of cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, then the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets (or rights) which would have been payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution. (g) Special Adjustment and Notices of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial officer of the Company. If the Company takes any actions (including under or by virtue of Section 4 of the Warrant) which would have a dilutive effect on the Holder or which would materially and adversely affect the Holder with respect to its investment in the Warrant, and if the provisions of Section 4 of the Warrant, are not strictly applicable to such actions or, if applicable to such actions, would not operate to equitably protect the Holder against such actions, then the Company shall promptly upon notice from Holder appoint its independent certified public accountants to determine as promptly as practicable an appropriate adjustment to the terms hereof, including without limitation adjustments to the Exercise Price, or another appropriate action to so equitably protect such Holder and prevent any such dilution and any such material adverse effect, as the case may be. Following such determination, the Company shall forthwith make the adjustments or take the other actions described therein. (h) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price. (i) [Intentionally Omitted] (h) Other Notices. In case at any time: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution to the holders of the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or entity; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Holder (a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's books are closed in respect thereto, but in no event earlier than public announcement of such proposed transaction or event. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. (i) Certain Definitions. (1) "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) in case of any adjustment required by Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Options, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Options for which the adjustment is required (including any Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options), and (y) in the case of any adjustment required by Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities for which the adjustment is required, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any. (2) "Market Price," as of any date, (i) means the average of the Closing Bid Prices for the shares of Common Stock as reported to Nasdaq for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding such date, or (ii) if Nasdaq is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, the average of the last reported bid prices on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the same period, or, if there is no bid price for such period, the last reported sales price for such period, or (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the average fair market value as reasonably determined by an investment banking firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrant, with the costs of the appraisal to be borne by the Company. The manner of determining the Market Price of the Common Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be made hereunder. (3) "Common Stock," for purposes of this Section 4, includes the Common Stock and any additional class of stock of the Company having no preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation, provided that the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only Common Stock in respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares resulting from any subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the case of any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of the character referred to in Section 4(e) hereof, the stock or other securities or property provided for in such Section. (j) Key Officer or Director Transfers. If any Key Officer (as defined below) or director (in each case, or any member of his/her family or any trust or other entity for the benefit of any member of his/her family), during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is six months after the registration statement required pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective, and while such person is a Key Officer or director, directly or indirectly, offers, sells, transfers, assigns, pledges, or otherwise disposes (except by gift to family members or charitable organizations) of any shares of Common Stock, or any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or warrants, options or rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (all such securities, "Options") or enter into any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with respect to any such offer, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition of any Common Stock or Options or provides or files any public notice, including pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, of a bona fide intent to dispose of a specified amount of Common Stock or Options (an "Executive Transfer"), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced by twenty (20) percent of that Exercise Price calculated pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Key Officers or directors (and all such entities for the benefit of any members of his/her family, collectively) may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of up to 20,000 shares in the aggregate prior to December 31, 1999 and during the six-month period following the effective date of the registration statement, a Key Officer or director (and all such entities for the benefit of any members of his/her family, collectively) may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of up to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of his or her total holdings as of the Issue Date determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (ii) 25,000 shares of Common Stock without triggering the adjustments of this Section. For purposes of this Section, Key Officer shall mean R. Steven Adams, Lindley S. Branson, William R. Cullen, Perry Evans, Andre Durand, Gwenael Hagan and Simon Greenman and any person who assumes or performs the duties of any other Key Officer. 5. Intentionally omitted. 6. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs 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 certificate in a name other than the Holder. 7. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder 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 to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the 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. 8. Transfer, Exchange, Redemption and Replacement of Warrant. a. Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted to the Holder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the Form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit 2, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 8(e) below, provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 and 5.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Until due presentment for registration of transfer on the books of the Company, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the registration rights described in Section 9 hereof are assignable only in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. b. Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 8(e) below, for new Warrants, in the form hereof, of different denominations representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the Holder of at the time of such surrender. c. Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant or, 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, in the form hereof, in such denominations as Holder may request. d. Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in this Section 8, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Company shall pay all issuance taxes (other than securities transfer taxes) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 8. e. Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder), 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. Additional Restriction on Exercise or Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder to the extent (but only to the extent) that, if exercisable by Holder, Holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Applicable Percentage") of the shares of Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-a-vis other securities owned by Holder which contain similar limitations on conversion) and of which Warrants shall be exercisable (as among Warrants) shall be made on the basis of the earliest submission of the Warrants (vis-a-vis other securities owned by the Holder which contain similar limitations on conversion and vis a vis other Warrants), in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation. No prior inability to exercise Warrants pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations, including without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership, shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D and G thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph may be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 8(f) with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder: (i) with respect to any matter to cure any ambiguity herein, to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Applicable Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Applicable Percentage limitation; and (ii) with respect to any other matter, with the further consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. For clarification, it is expressly a term of this security that the limitations contained in this Section shall apply to each successor Holder. The holders of Common Stock of the Company shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8(f) and the Company may not waive this Section 8(f) without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. 9. Registration Rights. The initial holder of this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the benefit of such registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 10. Notices. Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served or delivered by courier or by confirmed telecopy, and shall be deemed delivered at the time and date of receipt (which shall include telephone line facsimile transmission). The addresses for such communications shall be: If to the Company: Webb Interactive Services, Inc. 1800 Glenarm Place, Suite 700 Denver, Colorado 80202 Telecopy: (303) 292-5039 Attention: William Cullen with a copy to: Gray, Plant, Mooty, Mooty & Bennett, P.A. 3400 City Center 33 South Sixth Street Minneapolis, MN 55402-3796 Telecopy: (612) 333-0066 Attention: Lindley S. Branson, Esq. and if to the Holder, at such address as Holder shall have provided in writing to the Company, or at such other address as each such party furnishes by notice given in accordance with this Section 10. 11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. The Company irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States federal courts located in the State of New York in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under this Warrant and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in such courts. The Company irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. The Company agrees that a final nonappealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner. 12. Miscellaneous. 12.1 Amendments. This Warrant and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. 12.2 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Warrant are inserted for purposes of reference only, and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. 12.3 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written notice of the Holder's intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then current Market Price per share of the Common Stock and the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be such then current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section 12(c), so long as a Registration Statement is effective and is available for immediate use pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated even date herewith, the Holder shall not have the rights provided to it under this provision. 12.4 Assignability.
