See accompanying notes to the financial statements 5 TRANS WORLD GAMING CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. UNAUDITED STATEMENTS. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair and not misleading statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in such financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 1995. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 1996. 2. Earnings/(loss) per share were calculated based on 2,544,286 shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively. 3. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the basis that is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a substantial amount of its debt due June 30, 1996. (See MD&A -- Liquidity and Capital Resources) 4. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which encourages companies to recognize compensation expense in the income statement based on the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date the awards are granted. However, it will permit continued accounting under APB Option 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", accompanied by disclosure of the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share had the new accounting rules been applied. The statement is effective for calendar year 1996. The Company has not yet determined which method it will follow for measuring compensation cost attributed to stock options or the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. 6 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES. Trans World Gaming Corp.'s ("TWG" or the "Company") revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased 11% over the revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $1,667,000. Video poker revenues for the first quarter totaled $990,000 representing a 6% increase over first quarter revenues in the prior fiscal year. The revenue increase was due primarily to the Toledo Palace video poker parlor located in DeRidder, LA which opened on October 19, 1995. Video poker revenues from The Company's other video poker parlor, the Gold Nugget located in Lafayette, LA, remained virtually unchanged from $926,000 in 1995 to $924,000 in 1996. Revenues from fuel, food and beverage and convenience store operations at the Woodlands Truck Plaza located in DeRidder, LA in the first quarter of 1996 increased 16% to $677,000 over the revenues for the first quarter 1995. The Company believes that the revenues at the Gold Nugget will continue to be significantly higher than the average video poker parlor at truck stops in Louisiana. Revenues at the Toledo Palace have increased steadily from an average daily revenue per device of $50 in the fourth quarter 1995 to an average of $70 in the first quarter 1996. The Company continues to monitor the results at the Toledo Palace to determine how many additional devices, if any at all, will be added to the video parlor. The Toledo Palace currently has fifteen devices installed and is licensed for up to fifty. COST OF REVENUE. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenues increased to 50% in the first quarter 1996 from 43% in the first quarter 1995 with 3% or approximately one-half of the increase due to costs associated with the operation of the Toledo Palace. ADMINISTRATIVE. Administrative expenses in the first quarter 1996 were $629,000 which is an increase of $364,000 over the first quarter 1995. This increase is comprised of the following expense items: Severance costs of $38,000 in connection with the resignation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer in March, 1996; financing, legal and accounting costs of approximately $175,000 in connection with a canceled bridge loan and secondary offering of securities in March 1996; consulting fees covering potential acquisitions in the Caribbean and on Native American lands; and fees of approximately $23,000 and expenses of approximately $38,000 in connection with the successful completion of a $225,000 bridge accounted for the increase. Notwithstanding the expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the efforts to refinance the existing indebtedness, the Company believes, although there can be no assurances, that administrative costs will be lower in the second quarter 1996 than they were in the first quarter 1996. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $20,000 in the first quarter 1996 to $157,000 over the first quarter 1995. The increase is due primarily to a contractual increase in the interest rate from 12% to 15% per annum in July 1995 due on a $2.2 million note payable to Chrysolith, LLC in connection with the 1994 acquisition of the Gold Nugget. 7 QUARTERLY RESULTS. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $.08 per common share outstanding after absorbing significant financing and severance costs as compared to $.23 per common share in 1995. Following the general election in Louisiana in November, 1995, many politicians were elected, including Governor Foster, on anti-gambling platforms. The Governor of Louisiana called a special legislative session on March 25, 1996 to determine, among other things, the future of gaming in the state. Proposals included a state-wide referendum to abolish all gaming or a local option which would decide the future of gaming parish by parish. The uncertainties surrounding the legislative session made it difficult to raise additional capital and was reflected in the Company's stock price ($1 1/16 on 4/23/96). At the close of the session on April 19, 1996, the state-wide referendum was defeated and a local option bill was passed and sent to the Governor for signature. At the November 1996 general election, residents of each of the parishes must decide whether to continue video poker and if applicable, riverboats and land based casinos. In the event that video poker is eliminated, both operations will have until June 1999 to close down. The Company further believes that restructuring its current debt, although there can be no assurance, is now possible since there is apparently no immediate risk of the Company's video poker operations closing before June 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The level of cash increased by $56,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 due primarily to the proceeds of bridge financing of $225,000 completed on March 25, 1996. On January 19 and amended on January 30, 1996, the Company and Chrysolith reached agreement to extend the maturity date of the Chrysolith Note and other financial obligations owed to Chrysolith to June 30, 1996 in exchange for the Company's agreement to pay Chrysolith $15,600 per week in principal payments during the extension period. If the Company fails to repay the Chrysolith Note by June 30, 1996, or the Prime Note quarterly payment of $292,000 due on June 21, 1996, the Company could lose its interest in the profits at the Gold Nugget and lose its leasehold interest under the Prime Sublease, either of which would materially and adversely affect the financial condition and business of the Company and would cause the Company to immediately and substantially limit or cease its business operations, and likely would require the Company to seek protection under the federal bankruptcy laws. As of March 31, 1996, following the completion of a bridge financing in the form of secured loans in the aggregate principal amount of $225,000, the Company's other outstanding indebtedness includes approximately a principal amount of $2,208,000 under the Chrysolith Note which is due in its entirety on June 30, 1996, and a note payable to Prime Properties in the outstanding principal amount of approximately $1,856,000 (which was incurred in connection with the Gold Nugget transaction), with principal and interest at 10% per annum payable quarterly through December 21, 1997. The obligation due Prime Properties is evidenced by a three year promissory note in the original principal amount of $3,000,000, which is secured by the Company's sublease with Prime Properties 8 for the Gold Nugget premises (the "Prime Note"). With respect to the Woodlands Plaza transaction, the principal amount of the Company's remaining indebtedness is $435,000 payable on December 30, 1996 with interest payable monthly at 10% (the "Note"). The Company must also pay monthly interest payments under the Monarch Note which has an outstanding principal balance of $75,000. The Company will be dependent on cash on hand and cash flow from operations (assuming continued operation of both the Gold Nugget and the Toledo Palace) and will need a successful new financing that would raise approximately $3,500,000 in order to pay the scheduled debt service on the Prime Note, the Chrysolith Note, the Monarch Note and the Note, as well as to meet anticipated and unanticipated cash requirements. If cash on hand and cash flow from operations are insufficient, or if the Company is not able to raise additional equity financing or restructure its existing indebtedness to meet the debt service on these obligations as they come due in June 1996, and to meet other cash requirements, the Company would likely need to seek protection under the federal bankruptcy laws. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing or that such financing, If obtained, will be on terms favorable to the Company. Furthermore, if such financing involves the sale of Company's equity securities, there would be further significant dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company defaults in its obligations under the Prime Note, the Chrysolith Note, or the Monarch Note, it would lose all of its interests in the Gold Nugget which would materially and adversely effect the financial condition and business of the Company. On March 25, 1996, the Company completed bridge financing (the "Bridge") in the form of secured loans in the aggregate principal amount of $225,000, which was increased to $250,000 on April 29, 1996, bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable at maturity scheduled for August 19, 1996. The Company agreed to repay the principal amount in twenty weekly installments of $10,000 each starting April 1, 1996 with the balance due at maturity. The net proceeds of the Bridge, approximately $225,000, were used to pay the scheduled principal and interest payment to Prime Properties of $292,000 due on March 21, 1996. In connection with the Bridge, the Company issued to the lenders warrants to purchase 299,925 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. As compensation to the placement agent, the Company has agreed to pay a $25,000 cash commission and issue warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. All these warrants carry demand registration rights commencing in July 1996. Since the Company's cash flow may be insufficent to cover its monthly debt service, excluding the quarterly Prime Properties payment, of approximately $130,500, the Company is currently seeking a minimum of $200,000 in additional short term financing in order to meet its cash requirements for the next two months. The Company is attempting to place a first mortgage on its Woodlands Property, secure a working capital line of credit or raise additional capital on terms similar to the Bridge recently completed. There can be no assurances that the additional funding will be available at terms favorable to the Company or at all. 9 SIGNATURE: TRANS WORLD GAMING CORP.

(a) From July 1, 1996 until February 15, 1997, upon the written request of the Holder, and on a one-time basis, the Company shall file and use its best reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement or post-effective amendment thereto under the Act including such information as may be required to permit a public offering of this Warrant and all the Warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, and any of the Common Stock issuable under those Warrants (the "Registerable Securities"). The Company shall supply prospectuses in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registerable Securities, use its best efforts to register and qualify any of the Registerable Securities for sale in such states as such Holder reasonably designates and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary to enable such Holder to consummate the public sale of the Registerable Securities, and furnish indemnification in the manner provided in Paragraph 6 hereof.

INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Whenever pursuant to Paragraph 5 a registration statement relating to any Registerable Securities is filed under the Act, amended or supplemented, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement, amendment or supplement (such holder hereinafter referred to as the "Distributing Holder"), each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) the Distributing Holder, and each officer, employee, partner or agent of the Distributing Holder, if the Distributing Holder is a broker or dealer, and each underwriter (within the meaning of the Act) of such securities and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) any such underwriter and each officer, employee, agent or partner of such underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Distributing Holder, any 5 such underwriter or any other person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such registration statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part thereof or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse the Distributing Holder and each such underwriter or such other person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Distributing Holder, or underwriter or such other person, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Distributing Holder, any other Distributing Holder or any such underwriter for use in the preparation thereof, and (ii) such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any actual or alleged untrue statement or omission made in or from any preliminary prospectus, but corrected in the final prospectus, as amended or supplemented. (b) Whenever pursuant to Paragraph 5 a registration statement relating to the Registerable Securities is filed under the Act, or is amended or supplemented, the Distributing Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each 6 of its officers who have signed said registration statement and such amendments and supplements thereto, and each person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Act) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such registration statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part thereof, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in said registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Distributing Holder for use in the preparation thereof; and will reimburse the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Paragraph 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Paragraph 6. 7 (d) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnified part to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Paragraph 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. 7. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES. (a) The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (i) In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing: a. an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by b. the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. 8 For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable: Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. (ii) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination to the nearest one cent. Any such adjustment shall become effective at the time such subdivision or combination shall become effective. (iii) Within a reasonable time after the close of each quarterly fiscal period of the Company during which the Warrant Price has been adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall: a. Deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by the President or Vice President of the Company and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring all such adjustments occurring during such period and the Warrant Price after each such adjustment. b. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.01, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next 9 subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.01. (b) In the event that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock or by a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such dividend or subdivision, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such combination, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (c) In case of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable upon such 10 reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of such Warrant shall then be entitled to purchase; such adjustments shall apply with respect to all such changes occurring between the date of this Warrant Agreement and the date of exercise of such Warrant. (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section, in case the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of the Warrants, make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the holder of Warrants who exercises his Warrants after the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value of any such assets at the time of such distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to such holder had he been the holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant on the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution. (e) In case of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Warrants shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not later than five (5) days prior to such effectiveness. Notice of such termination of purchase rights shall be given to the last registered holder of this Warrant, as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date. 11 (f) In case the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to the exercise thereof, offer to the holders of its Common Stock any rights to subscribe for additional shares of any class of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to the last registered holder thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company are closed or a record date is fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such subscription rights. Such notice shall specify the date as to which the books shall be closed or record date fixed with respect to such offer of subscription and the right of the holder thereof to participate in such offer of subscription shall terminate if this Warrant shall not be exercised on or before the date of such closing of the books or such record date. (g) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to make such additional adjustments to the number of shares to be issued hereunder (whether required by the issuance of additional Common Stock or otherwise) as may from time to time be necessary to ensure that the Holder will upon exercise of this Warrant receive a percentage of the Total Equity of the Company equal to the percentage of the Total Equity of the Company held by the Holder as of the time of the original issuance of this Warrant. "Total Equity" shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of determination of Total Equity is made and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants (not including this Warrant) to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness convertible directly or indirectly into or exchangeable for Common Stock outstanding on the date the determination of Total Equity is made. 12 (h) Any adjustment pursuant to the aforesaid provision shall be made on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder thereof would have been entitled to acquire by the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the event giving rise to such adjustment. (i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants previously or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant. (j) The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section. (k) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph 7, the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to purchase any securities other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price for such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock. 8. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Shares on the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that if a Holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such Holder, the fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares. 13 9. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) This Warrant shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. (b) All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested: (i) if to a Holder, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, or (ii) if to the Company, One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10119. (c) All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. (d) Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company and the registered Holder or Holders, any legal or equitable right, for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Holder or Holders.

ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES. (a) The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (i) In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing: a. an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by b. the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. 8 For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable: Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. (ii) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination to the nearest one cent. Any such adjustment shall become effective at the time such subdivision or combination shall become effective. (iii) Within a reasonable time after the close of each quarterly fiscal period of the Company during which the Warrant Price has been adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall: a. Deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by the President or Vice President of the Company and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring all such adjustments occurring during such period and the Warrant Price after each such adjustment. b. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.01, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next 9 subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.01. (b) In the event that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock or by a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such dividend or subdivision, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such combination, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (c) In case of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable upon such 10 reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of such Warrant shall then be entitled to purchase; such adjustments shall apply with respect to all such changes occurring between the date of this Warrant Agreement and the date of exercise of such Warrant. (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section, in case the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of the Warrants, make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the holder of Warrants who exercises his Warrants after the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value of any such assets at the time of such distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to such holder had he been the holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant on the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution. (e) In case of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Warrants shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not later than five (5) days prior to such effectiveness. Notice of such termination of purchase rights shall be given to the last registered holder of this Warrant, as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date. 11 (f) In case the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to the exercise thereof, offer to the holders of its Common Stock any rights to subscribe for additional shares of any class of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to the last registered holder thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company are closed or a record date is fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such subscription rights. Such notice shall specify the date as to which the books shall be closed or record date fixed with respect to such offer of subscription and the right of the holder thereof to participate in such offer of subscription shall terminate if this Warrant shall not be exercised on or before the date of such closing of the books or such record date. (g) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to make such additional adjustments to the number of shares to be issued hereunder (whether required by the issuance of additional Common Stock or otherwise) as may from time to time be necessary to ensure that the Holder will upon exercise of this Warrant receive a percentage of the Total Equity of the Company equal to the percentage of the Total Equity of the Company held by the Holder as of the time of the original issuance of this Warrant. "Total Equity" shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of determination of Total Equity is made and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants (not including this Warrant) to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness convertible directly or indirectly into or exchangeable for Common Stock outstanding on the date the determination of Total Equity is made. 12 (h) Any adjustment pursuant to the aforesaid provision shall be made on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder thereof would have been entitled to acquire by the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the event giving rise to such adjustment.

ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES. (a) The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (i) In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing: a. an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by b. the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. 8 For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable: Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. (ii) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination to the nearest one cent. Any such adjustment shall become effective at the time such subdivision or combination shall become effective. (iii) Within a reasonable time after the close of each quarterly fiscal period of the Company during which the Warrant Price has been adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall: a. Deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by the President or Vice President of the Company and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring all such adjustments occurring during such period and the Warrant Price after each such adjustment. b. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.01, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next 9 subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.01. (b) In the event that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock or by a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such dividend or subdivision, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such combination, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (c) In case of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable upon such 10 reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of such Warrant shall then be entitled to purchase; such adjustments shall apply with respect to all such changes occurring between the date of this Warrant Agreement and the date of exercise of such Warrant. (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section, in case the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of the Warrants, make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the holder of Warrants who exercises his Warrants after the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value of any such assets at the time of such distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to such holder had he been the holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant on the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution. (e) In case of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Warrants shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not later than five (5) days prior to such effectiveness. Notice of such termination of purchase rights shall be given to the last registered holder of this Warrant, as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date. 11 (f) In case the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to the exercise thereof, offer to the holders of its Common Stock any rights to subscribe for additional shares of any class of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to the last registered holder thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company are closed or a record date is fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such subscription rights. Such notice shall specify the date as to which the books shall be closed or record date fixed with respect to such offer of subscription and the right of the holder thereof to participate in such offer of subscription shall terminate if this Warrant shall not be exercised on or before the date of such closing of the books or such record date. (g) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to make such additional adjustments to the number of shares to be issued hereunder (whether required by the issuance of additional Common Stock or otherwise) as may from time to time be necessary to ensure that the Holder will upon exercise of this Warrant receive a percentage of the Total Equity of the Company equal to the percentage of the Total Equity of the Company held by the Holder as of the time of the original issuance of this Warrant. "Total Equity" shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of determination of Total Equity is made and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants (not including this Warrant) to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness convertible directly or indirectly into or exchangeable for Common Stock outstanding on the date the determination of Total Equity is made. 12 (h) Any adjustment pursuant to the aforesaid provision shall be made on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder thereof would have been entitled to acquire by the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the event giving rise to such adjustment. (i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants previously or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant. (j) The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section. (k) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph 7, the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to purchase any securities other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price for such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock. 8. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Shares on the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that if a Holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such Holder, the fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares. 13 9. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) This Warrant shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. (b) All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested: (i) if to a Holder, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, or (ii) if to the Company, One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10119. (c) All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.01, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next 9 subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.01. (b) In the event that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock or by a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such dividend or subdivision, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such combination, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (c) In case of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable upon such 10 reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of such Warrant shall then be entitled to purchase; such adjustments shall apply with respect to all such changes occurring between the date of this Warrant Agreement and the date of exercise of such Warrant. (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section, in case the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of the Warrants, make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the holder of Warrants who exercises his Warrants after the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value of any such assets at the time of such distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to such holder had he been the holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant on the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution. (e) In case of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Warrants shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not later than five (5) days prior to such effectiveness. Notice of such termination of purchase rights shall be given to the last registered holder of this Warrant, as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date. 11 (f) In case the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to the exercise thereof, offer to the holders of its Common Stock any rights to subscribe for additional shares of any class of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to the last registered holder thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company are closed or a record date is fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such subscription rights. Such notice shall specify the date as to which the books shall be closed or record date fixed with respect to such offer of subscription and the right of the holder thereof to participate in such offer of subscription shall terminate if this Warrant shall not be exercised on or before the date of such closing of the books or such record date. (g) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to make such additional adjustments to the number of shares to be issued hereunder (whether required by the issuance of additional Common Stock or otherwise) as may from time to time be necessary to ensure that the Holder will upon exercise of this Warrant receive a percentage of the Total Equity of the Company equal to the percentage of the Total Equity of the Company held by the Holder as of the time of the original issuance of this Warrant. "Total Equity" shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of determination of Total Equity is made and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants (not including this Warrant) to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness convertible directly or indirectly into or exchangeable for Common Stock outstanding on the date the determination of Total Equity is made. 12 (h) Any adjustment pursuant to the aforesaid provision shall be made on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder thereof would have been entitled to acquire by the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the event giving rise to such adjustment. (i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants previously or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant. (j) The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section. (k) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph 7, the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to purchase any securities other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price for such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock. 8. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Shares on the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that if a Holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such Holder, the fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares. 13 9. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) This Warrant shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. (b) All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested: (i) if to a Holder, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, or (ii) if to the Company, One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10119.

ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES. (a) The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (i) In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing: a. an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by b. the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. 8 For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable: Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. (ii) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination to the nearest one cent. Any such adjustment shall become effective at the time such subdivision or combination shall become effective. (iii) Within a reasonable time after the close of each quarterly fiscal period of the Company during which the Warrant Price has been adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall: a. Deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by the President or Vice President of the Company and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring all such adjustments occurring during such period and the Warrant Price after each such adjustment. b. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.01, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next 9 subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.01. (b) In the event that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock or by a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such dividend or subdivision, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such combination, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (c) In case of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable upon such 10 reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of such Warrant shall then be entitled to purchase; such adjustments shall apply with respect to all such changes occurring between the date of this Warrant Agreement and the date of exercise of such Warrant. (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section, in case the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of the Warrants, make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the holder of Warrants who exercises his Warrants after the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value of any such assets at the time of such distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to such holder had he been the holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant on the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution. (e) In case of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Warrants shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not later than five (5) days prior to such effectiveness. Notice of such termination of purchase rights shall be given to the last registered holder of this Warrant, as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date. 11 (f) In case the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to the exercise thereof, offer to the holders of its Common Stock any rights to subscribe for additional shares of any class of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to the last registered holder thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company are closed or a record date is fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such subscription rights. Such notice shall specify the date as to which the books shall be closed or record date fixed with respect to such offer of subscription and the right of the holder thereof to participate in such offer of subscription shall terminate if this Warrant shall not be exercised on or before the date of such closing of the books or such record date. (g) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to make such additional adjustments to the number of shares to be issued hereunder (whether required by the issuance of additional Common Stock or otherwise) as may from time to time be necessary to ensure that the Holder will upon exercise of this Warrant receive a percentage of the Total Equity of the Company equal to the percentage of the Total Equity of the Company held by the Holder as of the time of the original issuance of this Warrant. "Total Equity" shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of determination of Total Equity is made and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants (not including this Warrant) to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness convertible directly or indirectly into or exchangeable for Common Stock outstanding on the date the determination of Total Equity is made. 12 (h) Any adjustment pursuant to the aforesaid provision shall be made on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder thereof would have been entitled to acquire by the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the event giving rise to such adjustment. (i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants previously or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant. (j) The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section. (k) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph 7, the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to purchase any securities other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price for such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock. 8. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Shares on the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that if a Holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such Holder, the fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares. 13 9. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) This Warrant shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. (b) All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested: (i) if to a Holder, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, or (ii) if to the Company, One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10119. (c) All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

(a) Whenever pursuant to Paragraph 5 a registration statement relating to any Registerable Securities is filed under the Act, amended or supplemented, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement, amendment or supplement (such holder hereinafter referred to as the "Distributing Holder"), each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) the Distributing Holder, and each officer, employee, partner or agent of the Distributing Holder, if the Distributing Holder is a broker or dealer, and each underwriter (within the meaning of the Act) of such securities and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) any such underwriter and each officer, employee, agent or partner of such underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Distributing Holder, any 5 such underwriter or any other person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such registration statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part thereof or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse the Distributing Holder and each such underwriter or such other person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Distributing Holder, or underwriter or such other person, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Distributing Holder, any other Distributing Holder or any such underwriter for use in the preparation thereof, and (ii) such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any actual or alleged untrue statement or omission made in or from any preliminary prospectus, but corrected in the final prospectus, as amended or supplemented. (b) Whenever pursuant to Paragraph 5 a registration statement relating to the Registerable Securities is filed under the Act, or is amended or supplemented, the Distributing Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each 6 of its officers who have signed said registration statement and such amendments and supplements thereto, and each person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Act) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such registration statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part thereof, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in said registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Distributing Holder for use in the preparation thereof; and will reimburse the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Paragraph 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Paragraph 6. 7 (d) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnified part to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Paragraph 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. 7. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES. (a) The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (i) In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing: a. an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by b. the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. 8 For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable: Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. (ii) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination to the nearest one cent. Any such adjustment shall become effective at the time such subdivision or combination shall become effective. (iii) Within a reasonable time after the close of each quarterly fiscal period of the Company during which the Warrant Price has been adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall: a. Deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by the President or Vice President of the Company and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring all such adjustments occurring during such period and the Warrant Price after each such adjustment. b. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.01, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next 9 subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.01. (b) In the event that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock or by a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such dividend or subdivision, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such combination, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. (c) In case of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable upon such 10 reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of such Warrant shall then be entitled to purchase; such adjustments shall apply with respect to all such changes occurring between the date of this Warrant Agreement and the date of exercise of such Warrant. (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section, in case the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of the Warrants, make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the holder of Warrants who exercises his Warrants after the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value of any such assets at the time of such distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to such holder had he been the holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant on the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution. (e) In case of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Warrants shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not later than five (5) days prior to such effectiveness. Notice of such termination of purchase rights shall be given to the last registered holder of this Warrant, as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date. 11 (f) In case the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to the exercise thereof, offer to the holders of its Common Stock any rights to subscribe for additional shares of any class of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to the last registered holder thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company are closed or a record date is fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such subscription rights. Such notice shall specify the date as to which the books shall be closed or record date fixed with respect to such offer of subscription and the right of the holder thereof to participate in such offer of subscription shall terminate if this Warrant shall not be exercised on or before the date of such closing of the books or such record date. (g) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to make such additional adjustments to the number of shares to be issued hereunder (whether required by the issuance of additional Common Stock or otherwise) as may from time to time be necessary to ensure that the Holder will upon exercise of this Warrant receive a percentage of the Total Equity of the Company equal to the percentage of the Total Equity of the Company held by the Holder as of the time of the original issuance of this Warrant. "Total Equity" shall mean the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of determination of Total Equity is made and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants (not including this Warrant) to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness convertible directly or indirectly into or exchangeable for Common Stock outstanding on the date the determination of Total Equity is made. 12 (h) Any adjustment pursuant to the aforesaid provision shall be made on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder thereof would have been entitled to acquire by the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the event giving rise to such adjustment. (i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants previously or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant. (j) The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section. (k) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph 7, the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to purchase any securities other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price for such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock. 8. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Shares on the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that if a Holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such Holder, the fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares. 13 9. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) This Warrant shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. (b) All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested: (i) if to a Holder, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, or (ii) if to the Company, One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10119. (c) All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.
