On December 27, 1999, Greystone and Schick entered into the Loan
Agreement, which provides for the establishment of a line of credit of
up to a maximum of $7,500,000 (the "Line of Credit") by Greystone for
the benefit of Schick.

<PAGE>
In consideration of Greystone's entering into this transaction,
Schick agreed to issue to Greystone or its designees warrants to
purchase 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75
per share. In addition, the Loan Agreement provides for Schick to
issue to Greystone or its designees warrants to purchase two shares of
Common Stock for all advances under the credit facility above
$1,000,000.
On December 27, 1999, Schick and Greystone also entered in a
Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), attached as
Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which Greystone purchased from Schick
shares of Photobit Corporation ("Photobit") subject to a right of first

have the right to designate additional members of the Board of
Directors based on the amount of advances provided to Schick under the
Line of Credit. If Greystone advances more than $6,000,000, it will be
entitled to appoint a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors.

Section 2.01. The Line of Credit.
(a) Advances; Periodic Repayments of Advances. Subject at all times to all
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 2.02, Section
2.03 and Article IV hereof, during the Advance Period the Lender hereby agrees
to provide to the Borrowers a Line of Credit of up to a maximum of $7,500,000.
The Lender shall have no obligation to provide any Advances and the Borrowers
shall not submit any Advance Request to the Lender at any time (i) in which a
Default or an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing,
or (ii) following the Advance Period. Unless an Event of Default hereunder shall
have occurred and be continuing or this Agreement shall be sooner terminated
pursuant to the terms hereof, all outstanding Advances, together with all unpaid
accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full by the Borrowers to
the Lender on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the Lender in connection with the Restructuring Plan or
otherwise, on each Principal Payment Date, the Company shall reduce all Advances
outstanding on such Principal Payment Date by making a cash payment against such
Advances to the Lender in an amount which shall be equal to the Excess Available
Cash, if any, during the calendar quarter immediately preceding the Interest
Payment Date in question.
(b) Interest. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender interest on all
outstanding Advances under the Line of Credit at the rate of ten (10%) percent
per annum, all in accordance with the Note. Such interest shall be payable on a
quarterly basis on the last Business Day of each of December, March, June and
September, commencing December 30, 1999 (each an "Interest Payment Date"). The
amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date shall be based on the
average outstanding amount of the Advances in the calendar quarter immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date (for the December 30, 1999 Interest Payment
Date, calculated from the Agreement Date to December 30, 1999). Interest shall
be based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year, counting the actual number of
days in each month. Unless a Default or Event of Default exists at the beginning
of any calendar quarter, the interest shall be calculated at the non-default
rate set forth in the Note; and in the event that a Default or Event of
9
<PAGE>
Default shall occur during any calendar quarter, then the additional interest
attributable to the increase in interest rate resulting therefrom shall be
payable on demand (or, in the absence of demand, on the next scheduled Interest
Payment Date in conjunction with the quarterly interest payment).
(c) Prepayment. The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay outstanding
Advances in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time and from
time to time.
(d) Maturity Date. Unless an Event of Default hereunder shall have
occurred and be continuing, hereof, the Borrowers shall pay in full all of the
Obligations in respect of the Line of Credit on the Maturity Date, subject to
prior mandatory prepayments or reductions of outstanding Advances out of Excess
Available Cash as provided in Section 2.01(a) hereof.
(e) The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, the terms and
conditions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part
hereof.
Section 2.02. Procedure for Making Advances. (a) Simultaneous with each
Advance Request, the Company will deliver to the Lender (i) a certificate
executed by the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of
Borrower attesting in their capacity as executive officers of such Borrower
that, as at the date of each Advance Request, no Default or Event of Default
hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) a reasonably detailed
statement of the intended use of the proceeds of such Advance, including if
applicable the item or items to be purchased and the Indebtedness or other
liabilities to be paid (the "Advance Analysis");
(b) The Lender shall notify the Company, in writing, within five (5)
Business Days of receipt of the Advance Analysis whether or not the Lender will
make the Advance. The Lender may refuse to make the Advance if: (i) it does not
approve the use of the proceeds of such Advance Request for the uses set forth
in the Advance Analysis (the "Written Notification"), which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Among other things, it shall not be unreasonable for
the Lender to disapprove the Advance Request because either of the Borrowers has
suffered a Material Adverse Effect and such Material Adverse Effect remains
uncured. In addition, the Lender may refuse to make an Advance if, in the
exercise of its sole discretion it determines that it would be imprudent to make
such Advance because of the status of any litigation or investigation respecting
either of the Borrowers or their officers or directors;
(c) If Lender does not approve the Advance Request for any reason other
than the status of any litigation or investigation, the Written Notification
shall provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the reason(s) therefor. Upon
approval of the Advance Request by the Lender it will authorize an immediate
drawing of such Advance under the Line of Credit and fund the Advance for the
purposes specified in the Advance Analysis for any reason other than the status
of any litigation or investigation. In the event that the Lender does not
approve the Advance Analysis, the parties shall promptly undertake in good faith
to expeditiously resolve the matter; if the parties do not resolve the matter to
their mutual satisfaction by the earlier of (a) five (5) business days after
Borrower's receipt of the Written Notification, or (b) ten (10) business days
after Lender's receipt of the Advance Analysis, the parties shall submit this
matter to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under
its Commercial
10
<PAGE>
Arbitration Rules, and jointly request that said arbitration be conducted in an
expedited manner, and the parties shall abide by and perform any decision and/or
award rendered by the arbitrator(s) and agree that a judgment of any court
having jurisdiction may be entered upon the award, and that neither party shall
seek to challenge or overturn the decision and/or award rendered by the
arbitrator(s). Any arbitration proceedings conducted hereunder shall be held in
New York, New York; and
(d) If the actual use of proceeds differs materially from the purposes
specified in the Advance Analysis, the Company shall notify the Lender in a
writing which shall provide (i) a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons
for the change; and (ii) an updated statement of the intended use of proceeds.
After receipt of such notice, the parties shall follow the procedures enumerated
in Sections 2.02(b) and 2.02(c) above.
Section 2.03. Issuance of Initial Warrants and Additional
Warrants.
(a) On the Agreement Date, the Company shall issue to the Lender the
Initial Warrants.
(b) In addition to the Initial Warrants to be issued to the Lender on the
Agreement Date, it is the intention of the Company and the Lender that the
Lender shall be entitled to receive Additional Warrants based upon the maximum
level of Advances outstanding during the Advance Period. Accordingly, it is
hereby agreed that with respect to all Advances from $1,000,001 to $7,500,000 in
the aggregate, for each dollar Advanced by the Lender to the Borrowers
hereunder, the Lender shall be entitled to receive Warrants to purchase two (2)
shares of Company Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (subject
to adjustment to protect the holder against dilution as provided in the
Warrants);
(c) By way of example of the application of Section 2.03(a) and (b)
above, if the Borrowers have outstanding at any one time under this Agreement
Advances of $3,000,000, then the Lender shall be entitled to receive Warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, as follows
(i) the Initial Warrants entitling the Lender to purchase 3,000,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share; and (ii) Additional
Warrants entitling the Lender to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.75 per share.
(d) By way of further example, based upon a maximum of $7,500,000 of
Advances which may be made by the Borrowers hereunder, if at any time or from
time to time prior to the Maturity Date there shall be outstanding at any time
the full $7,500,000 of Advances, the Lender shall be entitled to receive Initial
Warrants and Additional Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares
of Company Common Stock, at the exercise prices described herein and in the
Warrants.
(e) In all cases described in this Section 2.03, the number of shares of
Common Stock and exercise prices per share are subject to adjustment to protect
the holder against dilution, all as provided in the form of Warrants.
11
<PAGE>
(f) On or before the date that the Lender shall make each and every
Advance under this Agreement pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section
2.02 above, the Company shall issue to the Lender the appropriate number of
Additional Warrants contemplated by this Section 2.03.
(g) The form and content of all Additional Warrants, other than the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise thereof, shall be
identical in all material respects to the Initial Warrant.
Section 2.04. Security for the Obligations. The Note and all other
Obligations shall at all times be secured by a security interest in all of the
Collateral which shall be subordinated only to the first priority Lien of the
Senior Lender, all pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement and any
specific assignments executed and delivered pursuant thereto; all as evidenced
by UCC Financing Statements which the Lender and its counsel may require to be
executed and filed.
Section 2.05. Further Obligations. With respect to all Obligations for
which the interest rate is not otherwise specified herein (whether such
Obligations arise hereunder, pursuant to the Note or any of the Security
Documents, or otherwise), such Obligations shall bear interest at the rate(s) in
effect from time to time pursuant to the Note.
Section 2.06. Obligations Unconditional. The payment and performance of
all Obligations shall constitute the absolute and unconditional obligations of
the Borrowers, and shall be independent of any defense or rights of set-off,
recoupment or counterclaim which the Borrower might otherwise have against the
Lender. All payments required by this Agreement and/or the Note or Security
Documents shall be paid free of any deductions and without abatement, diminution
or set-off.
Section 2.07. Reversal of Payments. To the extent that any payment or
payments made to or received by the Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Note
or any of the Security Documents are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid to any trustee,
receiver or other person under any state or federal bankruptcy or other such
law, then, to the extent thereof, such amounts shall be revived as Obligations
and continue in full force and effect hereunder and be secured pursuant to the
Security Documents, as if such payment or payments had not been received by the
Lender.
Section 2.08. Return of Warrants to the Company.
(a) In the event that the Lender refuses to make Advances duly requested
by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof AND such refusal is:
(i) based on the Lender's concern over developments relating to the
pendency of any investigation or litigation respecting either of the
Borrowers or their officers or directors at the sole discretion of the
Lender, or
12
<PAGE>
(ii) determined by arbitration to be an unreasonable refusal by the
Lender to make Advances as provided in Section 2.02(c) hereof,
the Company shall be entitled to receive from the Lender the number
of Warrants described in Section 2.08(b) hereof;
(b) If prior to date of such refusal to make Advances, the Lender has
Advanced to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement:
(i) up to a maximum level of Advances of $2,500,000, the Lender
shall return 2,000,000 Warrants to the Company;
(ii) between a maximum level of Advances of $2,500,000 and
$5,000,000, the Lender shall return 1,000,000 Warrants to the Company; and
(iii) more than a maximum level of Advances of $5,000,000, the
Lender shall not be required to return any Warrants to the Company;
(c) If the DVI Consent shall not have been received by February 15, 2000,
the Lender shall return 3,000,000 Warrants to the Company.

Party Proposal is from a proposed underwriter or agent seeking to sell the

Party Proposal by purchasing the Equity Securities, at a price per share which
shall be net of all selling commissions, discounts and other offering expenses.

such Third Party Proposal, the Company shall promptly forward to the Lender a
complete copy of each such amended Third Party Proposal, and the twenty (20)
Business Day period in which the Lender may match such amended Third Party
Proposal shall again commence upon delivery to the Lender of such amended Third

EXHIBIT B
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK OF SCHICK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
December 27, 1999
Long Island City, New York
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF
THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED
FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK TIME
ON DECEMBER 27, 2006
THIS CERTIFIES THAT for value received, GREYSTONE FUNDING CORPORATION,
a Virginia corporation ("Greystone"), or their registered permitted assigns
(together with Greystone, hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Holder"), may subscribe for and purchase, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, from SCHICK TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), two million eight hundred fifty thousand (2,850,000) shares
of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), at any time during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing at
9:00 a.m. New York Time on December 27, 1999 (the "Effective Date") and
ending at 5:00 p.m. New York Time, on December 27, 2006, a date which is
seven (7) years from the Effective Date (the "Expiration Date"), at an
exercise price which shall be equal to seventy-five ($0.75) cents per share
of Common Stock (the "Exercise Price"). The number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Exercise Price, and the kind of
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as set
forth below. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, as adjusted from time to time, is sometimes referred to hereinafter
as "Warrant Shares."
1. EXERCISE PRICE AND EXPIRATION. (a) This Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part on any Business Day (as such term is
hereinafter defined) at any time during the Exercise Period upon surrender to
the Company, at its address for notices set forth in Section 8 of this
Warrant (or at such other office of the Company, if any, or such other office
of the Company's duly authorized agent for such purpose, as may be maintained
by the Company for such purpose and so designated by the Company by written
notice to the Holder prior to such exercise), together with the following:
(i) a duly completed and executed Notice of Warrant Exercise in the form
annexed hereto, and (ii) payment of the full Exercise Price for this Warrant
or the portion thereof then being exercised. This Warrant and all rights and
options hereunder shall expire on, and shall be immediately wholly null and
void to the extent the Warrant is not properly exercised prior to the
Expiration Date. As used in this Warrant the term "Business Day" shall mean
the time period between 9:00 a.m. New York, New York Time and 5:00 p.m. New
York, New York Time on any day other than any Saturday, Sunday, or any other
day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are required or are
authorized by law to close.
1
<PAGE>
(b) Such Exercise Price shall be paid in lawful money of the
United States of America by bank cashier's check or by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to such account as shall have been designated in
writing by the Company to the Holder from time to time. In addition,
Greystone may pay the Exercise Price by forgiving all or a portion of the
amount outstanding on the line of credit extended by Greystone to the Company
so that Greystone shall be deemed to have paid the Company one dollar for
every dollar of the amount outstanding on the line of credit it has
forgiven. In lieu of paying such Exercise Price in cash, the Holder of this
Warrant may elect to exercise certain "cashless" exercise rights on each
occasion he or it elects to exercise this Warrant. Such "cashless" exercise
shall be elected by the Holder's indicating on the Notice of Exercise to the
Company of his or its intention to exercise such cashless exercise rights.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder of this Warrant
upon any such "cashless" exercise shall be calculated as follows:
(i) The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon any full
or partial exercise of this Warrant (the "Subject Warrant Shares") shall be
multiplied by the Exercise Price then in effect. The product thereof shall
be deemed to be the "Exercise Cost."
(ii) The Subject Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by the
closing price of the Company's Common Stock, as traded on The Nasdaq Stock
Exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or any other national securities exchange
and as reported by Bloomberg's, on the date that Notice of Exercise shall be
given by the Holder of the Warrant (the "Subject Closing Price"). The
product thereof shall be deemed to be the "Exercise Value."
(iii) The Exercise Value shall be subtracted from the
Exercise Cost and the positive result thereof, if any, shall be deemed the
"Profit."
(iv) The Company shall issue that number of shares of
Common Stock as shall be determined by dividing the Profit by the Subject
Closing Price.
(c) Upon the Holder's surrender of the Warrant and payment of
the Exercise Price or cashless exercise election, as set forth above, the
Company shall promptly issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder a
certificate or certificates for the total number of whole shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is then so exercised, as the case may be
(adjusted to reflect the effect of the anti-dilution provisions contained in
Section 2 of this Warrant, if any) in such denominations as are requested for
delivery to the Holder, and the Company shall thereupon deliver such
certificates to the Holder. The Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder of
2
<PAGE>
record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be
closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall
not then be actually delivered to the Holder. If, at the time this Warrant
is exercised, a registration statement under the Securities Act is not then
in effect to register under said Securities Act the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant (together with any applicable state securities
law registrations), the Company may require the Holder to make such
representations, and may place such legends on certificates representing the
Warrant Shares, as may be reasonably required in the opinion of counsel to
the Company to permit the Warrant Shares to be issued without such
registration, unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that said securities may
be freely traded without registration under the Securities Act.
(d) If the Holder shall exercise this Warrant with respect to
less than all of the Warrant Shares that may then be purchased under this
Warrant, having taken into account any prior exercise of the Warrant, the
Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Holder a new warrant in the
form of this Warrant for the balance of such Warrant Shares.
2. CERTAIN ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) If the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution generally to all or substantially all holder of shares of
Company Common Stock in the form of additional shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide or split or reverse split or consolidate the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares, (iii) effect an
increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock without consideration, or (iv) effect a recapitalization which shall
reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into one or more classes of
Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be equitably and
proportionately adjusted immediately following the occurrence of any such
event, and the Holder of record of this Warrant shall be given notice of the
same at such Holder's address in the Company's books and records. An
adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately
after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, split,
combination or reclassification; provided, if such record date shall have
been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not
fully made on the date fixed therefor, the exercise price shall be recomputed
accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter
such exercise price in effect shall be as adjusted pursuant to this Section
as of the time of actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
(b) In case the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock
("Additional Shares") or in case the Company shall issue rights, options or
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock, in any case at a Price Per Share (as defined
in paragraph (c) below) or, where no cash payment is paid, for consideration
having a reasonable value which is lower than the Exercise Price then in
effect (the "Trigger Price"), the number of Warrant Shares hereafter
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by
multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant by the following fraction:
3
<PAGE>
(A)(i) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares or rights,
options, warrants or convertible securities, plus (ii) the number of
Additional Shares actually subscribed for and purchased and shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of such rights,
options, warrants, or convertible securities, divided by
(B)(i) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to issuance of such Additional Shares or rights,
options, warrants or convertible securities plus (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Proceeds (as defined in
paragraph (c) below) received by the Company upon the sale of such
Additional Shares or exercise or conversion of such rights, options,
warrants and convertible securities would purchase at the Trigger Price.
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Additional Shares or
rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall
become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights,
options or warrants.
(a) For purposes of this Section 2, "Price Per Share" shall be
defined and determined according to the following formula:
R
P = ---------------
N
where
P = Price Per Share,
R = the "Proceeds" received or receivable by the Company
which (i) in the case of shares of Common Stock is the total
amount received or receivable by the Company in consideration for
the sale and issuance of such shares; (ii) in the case of rights,
options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock or of securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of Common Stock, is the total amount
received or receivable by the Company in consideration for the
sale and issuance of such rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable or exercisable securities, plus the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, other than
the surrender of such convertible or exchangeable securities,
payable to the Company upon exercise, conversion or exchange
thereof; and (iii) in the case of rights, options or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase convertible or exchangeable or
exercisable securities, is the total amount received or
receivable by the Company in consideration for the sale and
issuance of such rights, options or warrants, plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration other than the
surrender of such convertible or exchangeable securities, payable
upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such rights, options
4
<PAGE>
or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of
the convertible or exchangeable or exercisable securities;
provided that in each case the proceeds received or receivable by
the Company shall be deemed to be the gross cash proceeds without
deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in
the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or
dealers or other performing similar services or any expenses
incurred in connection therewith,
and
N = the "Number of Shares," which (i) in the case of
Common Stock is the number of shares issued; (ii) in the case of
rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock or of securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, is the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof; and (iii) in the case of rights,
options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase convertible or
exchangeable or exercisable securities, is the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion,
exchange or exercise of the convertible, exchangeable or
exercisable securities issuable upon the exercise of such rights,
options or warrants.
If the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable or exercisable securities
for a consideration consisting, in whole or in part, of property or other
items other than cash, the amount of such consideration shall be determined
in good faith by the majority vote of the Board of Directors of the Company
whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder(s) of
this Warrant.
(b) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price
payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such
Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which
the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which
the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately
thereafter.
(c) No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would result in an
increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Exercise Price;
provided that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (c) are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent or
to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
(d) No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant need be made under paragraph (b) or (c) if
the Company issues or distributes to the holder of this Warrant the shares,
rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, or
evidences of indebtedness or assets referred to in those paragraphs which the
5
<PAGE>
holder of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant
been exercised prior to the happening of such event or the record date with
respect thereto. In no event shall the Company be required or obligated to
make any such distribution otherwise than in its sole discretion. No
adjustment in the number of Warrant shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant need be made for sales of Common Stock pursuant to a Subsidiary
Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest. No adjustment need
be made for a change in the par value of the Common Stock.
(e) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment
made pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the holder of this Warrant shall become
entitled to purchase any securities of the Company other than shares of
Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of 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 Warrant
Shares contained in paragraphs (a) through (d), inclusive, above.
3. REORGANIZATION AND ASSET SALES.
If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock
of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock of
the Company to another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all
of the assets or properties of the Company to another corporation, shall be
effected in such a manner so that Holder of Company Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Company Common Stock, then, and in such event, the following
provisions shall apply:
(a) Not more than 45 or less than 15 days prior to the consummation
of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
sale (collectively, "Reorganization Transactions"), the Company shall
notify the Holder of the Reorganization Transaction (at the same time
notice of same shall be made generally available to the other Holders
of Company Common Stock), describing in such notice in reasonable
detail the terms of the Reorganization Transaction and the stock,
securities or assets to be received with respect to or in exchange for
Common Stock of the Company. In the event the Holder exercise this
Warrant not more than 45 or less than 15 days prior to the consummation
of the Reorganization Transaction, such Holder shall be entitled to
receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for
Common Stock (collectively, "Reorganization Consideration") on the same
basis as the other Holder of Company Common Stock participating in the
Reorganization Transaction as if such Holder had previously exercised
this Warrant and held such number of Warrant Shares to which they are
entitled based on the Exercise Price.
(b) The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization Transaction
unless prior to or simultaneous with the consummation thereof, the
successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting therefrom
shall assume by written instrument executed and made available to the
Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the
6
<PAGE>
Company, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock,
securities or assets, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
the Holder may be entitled to receive, any and all other liabilities
and obligations of the Company hereunder. In the event the Holder of
this Warrant shall not exercise the Warrant prior to or simultaneous
with consummation of the Reorganization Transaction, such Holder shall
be entitled to receive a warrant to purchase Common Stock in the
successor corporation (if other than the Company) which shall be
appropriately adjusted as to exercise price, number of shares which may
be purchased thereunder and other terms, so as to equitably reflect the
Reorganization Transaction and entitle the Holder to purchase that
number of shares of Common Stock of the successor corporation
equivalent in value to the consideration that such Holder would have
received had Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to or
simultaneously with such Reorganization Transaction. In the event the
successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from the
Reorganization Transaction shall be a privately-held company and the
Reorganization Consideration, in part or in whole, shall be in the form
of securities for which there is no readily ascertainable market value
by virtue of not being traded on any national market or exchange, the
Company shall not effect any such Reorganization Transaction unless
prior to or simultaneous with the consummation thereof, the successor
corporation shall agree by written instrument executed and made
available to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on
the books of the Company to pay to the Holder a cash amount equivalent
in value to the difference between the Exercise Price and the Fair
Market Value multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that such
Holder would have received had the Holder exercised this Warrant
immediately prior to or simultaneously with such Reorganization
Transaction.
(c) If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted
by a holder of more than fifty (50%) percent of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Company, the Company shall, prior to the
consummation of any consolidation, merger or sale to or with the
person, firm or corporation having made such offer or any affiliate of
such person, firm or corporation, give the Holder a reasonable
opportunity of not less than 10 days to elect to receive upon the
exercise of this Warrant, either the stock, securities or assets then
issuable with respect to the Common Stock of the Company or the stock,
securities or assets, or the equivalent, issued to previous Holder of
the Common Stock in accordance with such purchase tender or exchange
offer.
4. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT.
Whenever the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as herein provided, or
the rights of the Holder shall change by reason of other events specified
herein, the Company shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price and the number
of adjusted Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall
prepare a certificate signed by its Chief Executive Officer, or its
President, or its Chief Financial Officer, setting forth the adjusted
Exercise Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant or specifying the other shares of stock, securities,
or assets receivable as a result of such changes in rights, and showing in
7
<PAGE>
reasonable detail the facts and calculations upon which such adjustments or
other changes are based. The Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder
copies of such officer's certificate together with a notice stating that the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of
this Warrant have been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price
and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant.
5. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
Throughout the Exercise Period, the Company has (i) all requisite power
and authority to issue this Warrant and the Warrant Shares, and (ii)
sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to permit exercise
of this Warrant.
6. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
(a) The Company shall take such steps as are necessary to cause the
Company to continue to have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock reserved in order to permit the exercise of the unexercised and
unexpired portion of this Warrant, if any.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares issued
upon the due exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with
the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and security
interests created by the Company with respect to the issuance thereof.
(c) The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any,
attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of this
Warrant or of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that
of the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or
persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the
amount of such tax, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.
(d) The Company covenants and agrees that if it fails (i) to register
the Warrant Shares as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement between
the Holder and the Company, dated of even date herewith, or (ii) to issue the
shares of Common Stock upon the proper exercise of the Warrant, then the
Holder may immediately commence an action for specific performance and/or
damages.
7. NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. No Holder of this Warrant shall, as such,
be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other kind
of securities of the Company, nor shall anything contained herein be
construed to confer upon the Holder the rights of a shareholder of the
Company or the right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter
submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or give or withhold consent
to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings or other actions
affecting shareholders (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), or to
8
<PAGE>
receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise, until the date of
Holder' proper exercise of this Warrant as described herein.

accounting purposes (except to the extent that such assignment is not recognized

application of consolidated financial reporting principles under GAAP). Schick
agrees to respond to any inquiries with respect to the sale of the Stock
hereunder by confirming the sale, assignment, transfer and contribution of the
stock to the Buyer, and to note on its financial statements that the Stock has
