RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities offered by this prospectus involves a high
degree of risk and should be made only by investors who can afford the loss of
their entire investment. You should carefully review and consider the following
risks as well as the other information set forth in this prospectus before
deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.
We do not have adequate cash reserves to meet our operating needs.
We are currently dependent on advances from investors to meet our day to
day cash needs. As a result, we must continue to identify other sources of cash
immediately in order to remain in business. Failure to immediately identify
other sources of cash could result in our insolvency.
We have a history of losses and may not continue to be profitable.
We recorded our first profitable quarter in the calender quarter ended
March 31, 1999. We commenced operations in January 1995 and began managing our
first integrated medical center in September 1995. We have a limited operating
history upon which you can judge our performance and we have experienced net
losses, negative cash flow, a deficit in working capital, and an accumulated
deficit each month until very recently .
Our rapid expansion may lead to financial losses.
We have expanded from managing one integrated medical center at December
31, 1995 to 87 integrated medical centers at December 31, 1998. We have ceased
operations in several of our centers since that time and now manage 73
integrated medical centers. Our future profitability will depend upon a number
of factors, including:
- - Our ability to develop integrated medical centers where we have agreements
with chiropractors as of May 30, 1999
- - Our ability in the future to identify and affiliate with a sufficient
number of suitable, well-located chiropractors and their existing
chiropractic practices
- - Whether new integrated medical centers can be opened in conformance with
our plans and schedule.
- - Our ability to adequately train sufficient numbers of affiliated
chiropractors and their office staff on the operation and administration of
integrated medical centers and our management information system
- - Our ability to attract and retain medical doctors and other traditional
health care providers for employment at the integrated medical centers
- - Our ability to support and manage the increased numbers of integrated
medical centers effectively
- - Whether anticipated performance levels at integrated medical centers will
be achieved
Delays in the opening of new integrated medical centers could adversely affect
our future financial condition and operating results.
We are the subject of a pending federal investigation.
In November 1997, three of our facilities were searched by federal
authorities pursuant to search warrants, and the federal authorities removed
computer records and written documents. A few of our employees and certain of
our subsidiaries were served with subpoenas requesting records and documents
related to billing and claims coding, clinical relationships and corporate
records. We believe that we could be a target in this investigation. One
employee has received a target letter stating that the employee was a subject of
the investigation. The investigation appears to be focused on two clinics in
Virginia. No charges have yet been filed against the company or any of our
employees. However, any such charges could have a material adverse effect on our
future financial position and results of operations.
6
<PAGE> 7
The government may challenge our affiliation relationships with the
chiropractors.
We believe that our affiliated chiropractor relationship does not violate
applicable federal or state health care regulatory requirements. There can be no
assurance, however, that health care officials will not take a contrary view and
bring a claim against us under federal law. Prosecutions by federal officials
could have an adverse effect on us, even if our affiliated chiropractor
relationships were subsequently determined lawful.
We rely on affiliated chiropractors to generate our revenues.
Our revenue and cash flow are dependent on the generation and collection of
revenue by the integrated medical centers and the efficient management by the
affiliated chiropractor. In the past, we have experienced negative results from
poor management of certain chiropractors, which consequently lessen the expected
revenues and profits from that specific center. If a significant number of
affiliated chiropractors fail in their management duties, our financial
condition and operating results would be adversely affected.
We are dependent on third party reimbursement.
Third party reimbursement is the payment of medical or chiropractic
services by anyone other than the patient, for example, the payment for services
by an insurance company. Substantial amounts of our revenue from the integrated
medical centers are derived from commercial health insurance, state workers'
compensation programs, and other third party payers. Insurance companies are not
yet totally familiar with reimbursing for traditional and alternative health
care services, such as chiropractic, performed within a medical practice.
Persistent disagreements of this nature could have a materially adverse effect.
Managed care contracts limit our revenues.
We believe that our success, in part, will depend on our ability to
negotiate, on behalf of the integrated medical centers, favorable managed care
contracts with health maintenance organizations and other private third party
payer programs. Failure to negotiate favorable contracts for our integrated
medical centers will adversely affect the profitability of our integrated
medical centers. Such contracts often shift much of the financial risk of
providing care from the payer to the provider by requiring the provider to
furnish all or a portion of its services in exchange for a fixed fee per member
patient, per month, regardless of the level of use by the patient.
We are dependent on our key management personnel.
We are dependent upon the active participation of our executive officers,
particularly our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Raymond Jr. and
our Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Sergio Vallejo. The loss of the services of Mr.
Raymond and/or Dr. Vallejo could have a material adverse effect on us. We do not
have an employment contract with Mr. Raymond or Dr. Vallejo and both are
currently serving without compensation. We do not currently hold a "key-man"
life insurance policy on the life of Mr. Raymond or Dr. Vallejo.
Claims for medical malpractice could adversely affect us.
Although we do not ourselves provide such services or control the provision
of health care services by the integrated medical centers' practitioners, we
could nevertheless be also accused of medical negligence. We have obtained an
insurance policy that provides both us and our integrated medical centers
medical malpractice insurance and managed care errors and omissions insurance
retroactive to the integration dates of the integrated medical centers. The
policy provides coverage for $1,000,000 per claim per integrated medical center,
subject to an aggregate limit of $3,000,000 per integrated medical center per
year. A successful claim against us in excess of our insurance coverage could
have a material adverse effect upon our business.
7
<PAGE> 8
We could suffer criminal and monetary penalties if our healthcare providers are
accused of fraud and healthcare abuse.
Federal and state laws extensively regulate the relationships among
providers of health care services. These laws include federal fraud and abuse
provisions which if violated by any of our health care providers could put us at
risk of severe criminal and monetary penalties. Federal fraud and abuse laws
also impose restrictions on physicians' referrals for designated health services
covered under Medicare or Medicaid to entities with which they have financial
relationships. There can be no assurance that the federal and state governments
will not consider additional prohibitions on physician ownership, directly or
indirectly, of facilities to which they refer patients, which could adversely
affect the company.
Federal and state governments may determine that our medical centers are part of
a franchise system.
Franchise laws require, among other things, that a disclosure document be
prepared and given to prospective franchisees. A review of our business by
regulatory authorities could result in a determination that our integrated
medical centers are part of a franchise system, which determination would
require us to prepare and distribute a franchise disclosure document and could
adversely affect our operations or require structural and organizational
modifications with the integrated medical centers. We have not prepared and
distributed a franchise disclosure document because we believe that integrated
medical centers formed as business corporations wholly owned by us are not
subject to such franchise laws. Integrated medical centers formed as
physician-owned professional corporations could be subject to the franchise
laws. If these laws are deemed to apply, we would be required to prepare and
deliver a disclosure document to the physician that owns the professional
corporation, and who might be our employee.
Our operations could be deemed to violate laws that prohibit the corporate
practice of medicine.
In states where general business corporations are permitted to own medical
practices, the integrated medical centers are formed as general business
corporations and are wholly-owned by us. In most states, the integrated medical
centers are formed as professional corporations owned by one or more medical
doctors licensed to practice medicine under applicable state law. Although we
believe our operations as currently conducted are in material compliance with
existing applicable laws, our structure could be challenged as constituting the
unlicensed practice of medicine and the enforceability of the legal agreements
underlying our structure could be limited. The inability to successfully
restructure our contractual arrangements could have a material adverse effect on
us.
The liability of our Board of Directors is limited.
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that a director of the
company will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, subject to the
limitations imposed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Thus, under certain
circumstances, neither we, nor our stockholders, would be able to recover
damages in the event that a director(s) takes an action that harm us.
We have instituted anti-takeover provisions and increased the authorized common
and preferred stock.
Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 50,000,000 shares
of common stock and up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more
series and to determine the number of shares in each series, as well as the
designations, preferences, rights and qualifications or restrictions of those
shares without any further vote or action by the common stockholders. We are
planning to raise capital that may include the sale of most or all of the
authorized preferred stock. The rights of the holders of common stock will be
subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any
preferred stock that is currently issued or which may be issued in the future.

<PAGE> 9
Our securities may be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
On November 20, 1998, we received notice from Nasdaq that we did not meet
the net asset requirements for continued Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing. We
formally responded to NASDAQ's questions with a written plan designed to meet
the minimum listing requirements. We received another query more recently and
again responded in writing to NASDAQ with an updated plan for continued listing
specifying the planned conversion of outstanding debt to equity, the private
placement of Common Stock for $775,000, and the reversal of reserves in a
Chapter 7 filing for a subsidiary. If our securities were to be delisted from
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, it would materially adversely affect the prices of our
securities and the ability of shareholders to sell them. In addition, if our
securities are delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, our shares will be
subject to the NASDAQ penny stock rules. These rules and disclosure requirements
would have the effect of reducing the trading activity in our stock. If our
common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, it would be more
difficult to sell shares of our common stock.

INDEMNIFICATION
THE COMPANY'S BYLAWS REQUIRE THE COMPANY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED OR
REQUIRED BY DELAWARE LAW, TO (i) INDEMNIFY ITS DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS AGAINST ANY
AND ALL LIABILITIES AND (ii) ADVANCE ANY AND ALL REASONABLE EXPENSES INCURRED IN
ANY PROCEEDING TO WHICH ANY SUCH DIRECTOR OR OFFICER IS A PARTY OR IN WHICH SUCH
DIRECTOR OR OFFICER IS DEPOSED OR CALLED TO TESTIFY AS A WITNESS BECAUSE HE OR
SHE IS OR WAS A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER OF THE COMPANY. GENERALLY, DELAWARE
STATUTORY LAW PERMITS INDEMNIFICATION OF A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER UPON A
DETERMINATION THAT HE OR SHE ACTED IN GOOD FAITH AND IN A MANNER THAT HE OR SHE
REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE IN, OR NOT OPPOSED TO, THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE
CORPORATION AND, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CRIMINAL ACT OR PROCEEDING, HAD NO
REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE HIS OR HER CONDUCT WAS UNLAWFUL. THE RIGHT TO
INDEMNIFICATION GRANTED IN THE COMPANY'S BYLAWS IS NOT EXCLUSIVE OF ANY OTHER
RIGHTS TO INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST LIABILITIES OR ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES WHICH A
DIRECTOR OR OFFICER MAY BE ENTITLED TO UNDER ANY WRITTEN AGREEMENT, BOARD
RESOLUTION, VOTE OF STOCKHOLDERS, DELAWARE LAW OR OTHERWISE.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to
retain any earnings for use in our business, and do not anticipate paying cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.
As of March 31, 1999, there were approximately 738 record holders of our common
stock.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
We are filing this registration statement because the purchasers of 597,000
of our common shares, sold in a private placement, have exercised their demand
registration rights. The balance of the shares of common stock being registered
hereunder are being registered pursuant to the exercise of piggyback
registration rights. Pursuant to such demand and piggyback registration rights
we are obligated to use our best efforts to cause this registration statement to
become effective by August 15, 1999. We are further obligated to register and
qualify the resale shares under such state securities laws as the selling
stockholders may reasonably request. We will bear the reasonable expenses of the
registration and qualification of the shares under the Securities Act and state
securities laws other than any underwriting discounts and commissions and the
expenses of counsel for the selling stockholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF COMMON STOCK
None of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock registered
hereunder will accrue to Complete Wellness. Through private placement, Complete
Wellness has obtained $597,000 of financing from the sale of 597,000 shares of
Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share, exclusive of fees and other expenses
related to this sale. We intend to apply the net proceeds of this sale of Common
Stock for working capital purposes.

<PAGE> 14
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth the number of shares of unregistered common stock
owned by each of the selling stockholders. S. R. Vallejo and E. E. Sharer are
currently board members and Jason Elkin and Robert Mrazek are former board
members of ours. None of the other selling stockholders has had any other
material relationship with us within the past three years other than as a result
of the ownership of the resale shares or other securities of ours. Because the
selling stockholders may offer all or some of the resale shares which they hold
pursuant to the offering contemplated by this prospectus and because there are
currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale
of any of the resale shares, no estimate can be given as to the amount of resale
shares that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of this
offering. The resale shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time
to time by the selling stockholders named below.
In addition, the table sets forth currently owned unregistered shares, and does
not try to estimate or report the number of shares that may be additionally
owned. The percentage of ownership after the offering is calculated by dividing
the number of shares owned by each individual stockholder prior to this offering
by 3,956,755 total shares that will be outstanding after this offering. This
registration statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock
which become issuable in connection with the shares registered for sale by
reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar
transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an
increase in the number of the registrant's outstanding shares of common stock.
Also included on the following tables are consultants and advisors who received
common stock purchase warrants for services rendered, which are further
described in the attached warrant agreements, totaling 338,000 shares. Also, on
October 24, 1998, Wexford Spectrum Investors LLC completed the private sale of
shares of common stock they held to various purchasers and in various quantities
totaling 100,000 shares of common stock. In addition, upon completion and
acceptance of Wexford's legal review and the approval of our accountants and
attorneys, Wexford plans to exchange $330,000 of their $475,000 senior secured
loan, plus interest, for 330 shares of a new series of Preferred Stock of the
Company, to be designated the Junior Convertible Preferred Stock, with such
Preferred Stock having a stated value of $1,000 per share. Each share of the
Junior Convertible Preferred Stock shall, at the option of the holder, be
convertible into either shares of our Common Stock or our publicly traded Common
Stock Purchase Warrants which shall be fully registered, non restricted and
freely tradeable. In each case, the shares of the Junior Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be convertible into shares of our Common Stock or our Common Stock
Purchase Warrants at a twenty (20%) percent discount to the average of the
closing market prices for the twenty (20) business days preceding conversion,
into the Common Stock or the Warrants, as the case may be.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The resale shares offered in this prospectus may be sold by the selling
stockholders from time to time in transactions in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, in
negotiated transactions, or a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed
prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The selling
stockholders may effect such transactions by selling the resale shares to or
through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the
form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders
and/or the purchasers of the resale shares for whom such broker-dealers may act
as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable,
the resale shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the resale shares
may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the
applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with
the selling stockholders in the distribution of the resale shares may be deemed
to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions
received by them and any profit on the resale of the resale shares purchased by
them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the
Securities Act.
We have advised the selling stockholders that, during such time as they may be
engaged in a distribution of the shares of common stock included in this
prospectus, they must comply with the applicable provisions of Regulation M
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in connection therewith, the
selling stockholders may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection
with any securities of ours, that they must furnish copies of this prospectus to
each broker-dealer through which the shares of common stock included in this
prospectus may be offered, and that they may not bid for or purchase any
securities of ours or attempt to induce any person to purchase any securities of
ours except as permitted under Regulation M. The selling stockholders have also
agreed to inform us and broker-dealers through whom sales may be made hereunder
when the distribution of the shares is completed.
The resale shares were originally issued under the various agreements pursuant
to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We
agreed to register the resale shares under the Securities Act. We have agreed to
pay all fees and expenses incident to the filing of this registration statement
other than underwriting discounts, commissions and fees and disbursements of
counsel for the selling stockholders.

stock is issued, it will rank senior to our common stock in respect of rights to
receive dividends and to participate in distributions or payments in the event
of an liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Complete Wellness. The issuance
of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring, discouraging or
preventing a third party from acquiring a majority of the outstanding voting
stock of Complete Wellness or other change in control of Complete Wellness
without further action by the shareholders, and may adversely affect the voting
and other rights of the holders of the common stock, including the loss of
voting control to others. The board of directors does not at present intend to
seek shareholder approval prior to issuing any such preferred stock, unless
required to do so by law.
In December, 1997 and January, 1998, we issued to Wexford Spectrum Investors LLC
and Imprimis Investors LLC a total of 100,000 shares of our Senior Convertible
Preferred Stock in receipt of a $5,000,000 investment in the Company. The terms,
provisions, rights and preferences of the Senior Convertible Preferred Stock are
more fully described in our Annual Report on From 10-KSB filed April 14, 1998
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 as amended on Form 10-KSB/A filed on
January 19, 1999.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid any cash or other dividends on our common stock since our
inception and do not anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable
future. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and to
finance the expansion of its business.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by

registration statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-18291) declared effective
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 1997.
Item 17. Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of ours pursuant
to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate of incorporation or the
bylaws of ours, indemnification agreements entered into between us and our
officers and directors, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer, or controlling person of ours in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
We hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
30
<PAGE> 28
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the calculation of
registration fee table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered in this
prospectus, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged by COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC. (the "Company"), Chris
Janish, 40 Broad Street, Suite 2100, New York, NY 10004 (the "Holder") is hereby
granted the right to purchase at any time from the date hereof until 5:00 P.M.,
Eastern time, on December 1, 2002 (the "Expiration Date"), Twenty Five Thousand
(25,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par
value $0.0001665 per share (the "Common Stock").
This Warrant is exercisable at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter
defined) per share of Common Stock issuable hereunder, payable in cash or by
certified or official bank check, or at Holder's option by means of tendering
this Warrant Certificate to the Company in a cashless transaction to receive the
number of shares of Common Stock equal in Market Value, as hereinafter defined,
to the difference between the Market Value of the Shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the total Exercise Price thereof.
Upon surrender of this Warrant with the annexed Subscription Form duly executed,
together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock
purchased, at the Company's principal executive offices presently located at
Suite 200, 666 Eleventh Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001, the registered Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased.
1. Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by
this Warrant are exercisable at the option of the holder hereof, in whole or in
part (but not as to fractional shares of Common Stock), during the period in
which this Warrant may be exercised as set forth above. In the case of the
purchase of less than all the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender hereof and
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the
shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
2. Issuance of Stock Certificate. The issuance of certificates
for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made
without charge to the holder hereof including, without limitation, any tax that
may be payable in respect thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the
provisions of Section 3 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as
may be directed by, the holder hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any income tax to which the holder hereof may be subject
in connection with the issuance of this Warrant or of shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant; and provided further, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other
than that of the holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the disposition of
the Warrant or Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof (the
"Warrant Shares"), such holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such
Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the
<PAGE> 2
case may be, without first providing the Company with an opinion of counsel
(which may be counsel for the Company) to the effect that such sale or transfer
will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Act. Such holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records giving
instructions to any transfer agent of the Warrant or Warrant Shares in order to
implement such restrictions on transferability.
3.2 Transfer Restrictions Legend. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are
registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form on the face thereof:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION
UNDER THE ACT, UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a distribution under a registration statement covering the securities
represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, the securities represented thereby may be transferred as
contemplated by such holder without violation of the registration requirements
of the Act.
4. Exercise Price and Redemption.
4.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial exercise
price shall be $2.00 per share of Common Stock. The adjusted exercise price
shall be the price that shall result from time to time from any and all
adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6 hereof.
4.2 Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean
the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price depending upon the
context.
4.3 Market Value. The term "Market Value" herein shall be an
amount equal to the average closing "bid" price of a share of the Company's
publicly traded Common Stock for the five (5) trading days preceding the
Company's receipt of the Notice of Exercise form duly executed multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate.
5. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
5.1 Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as
hereinafter provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date
hereof issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuances or
sales referred to in Section 5.5 hereof, the issuance or sale of any shares of
Common Stock resulting from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's
securities outstanding as of the date hereof or any other securities sold on the
date hereof), including shares held in the Company's treasury, for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the issuance or sale of such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith
upon such issuance or sale the Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance
or sale) be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined
by dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (X) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately prior to such issuance or sale, multiplied
by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus
2
<PAGE> 3
(Y) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, by (B) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately after such issuance or sale; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this
computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock provided for in Section 5.3 hereof.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.1, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
(or of other securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of
shares of Common Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash,
the amount of the cash portion of the consideration therefor deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be (i) the subscription price, if shares of Common
Stock are offered by the Company for subscription, or (ii) the public offering
price (after deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in
the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, but before deducting any other expenses incurred in
connection therewith), if such securities are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, or (iii) the net amount of
cash actually received by the Company for such securities, in any other case.
(b) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a
dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company, and otherwise than
on the exercise of options, rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities) of shares of Common Stock (or of other
securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the
amount of the consideration therefor other than cash deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be the value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on the basis of a record
of values of similar property or services.
(c) Shares of 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 day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution.
(d) The reclassification of securities of the Company other
than shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock
shall be deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the
date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such
shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of Common
Stock shall be determined as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.1.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time
outstanding shall be deemed to include the aggregate maximum number of shares
issuable (subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the
exercise of options, rights or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
5.2 Subdivision and Combination of Common Stock. In case the
Company shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or
otherwise) or combine (by any reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately
3
<PAGE> 4
decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
5.3 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (and
of all the Warrants) shall be obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and of all the Warrants)
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the
adjusted Exercise Price.
5.4 Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of
any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other
than a change from no par value to par value or vice versa or a change in par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification
or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock except a change as a result
of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company substantially as an entirety, the holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter (but only until the Expiration Date) have the right to purchase
the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance in respect of the number of shares issuable under this Warrant
immediately prior to the time of determination of stockholders of the Company
entitled to receive such shares of stock and/or other securities or property, at
a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable under
this Warrant immediately prior to such determination, times (y) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such determination, as if such holder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such determination. The Company
shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair provision for
exercise of the right of the holder hereof to receive, the shares of stock
and/or other securities or property provided for in this Section 5.4.
5.5 No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases. No
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or of any Warrant
Shares;
(b) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of options, rights or warrants, or upon the conversion or exchange
of convertible or exchangeable securities, in any case (i) where the purchase
price was adjusted at the time of issuance of such options, rights or warrants,
or convertible or exchangeable securities, as contemplated by Section 5.2 hereof
or (ii) where such options, rights, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities were outstanding prior to the date hereof;
(c) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
resulting from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities
outstanding as of the date hereof or of any agreements or contract rights to
purchase shares outstanding as of the date hereof; or
(d) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than one
cent ($.01) per share, provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that
would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall
be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment that,
together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at least one 1
cent ($.01) per share.

<PAGE> 5
6. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant. This Warrant is
exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered holder
at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the
same number of shares as are purchasable hereunder in such denominations as
shall be designated by the registered holder hereof at the time of such
surrender.

the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in case of
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in
lieu of this Warrant.
7. Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not
be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue stock certificates
representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but shall instead pay in cash,
in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock to which such holder would be
entitled if such fractional share were issuable, in an amount equal to the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of such exercise.
8. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the exercise hereof. The
Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of
the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Notices to Holders. Nothing contained in this warrant shall
be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof the right to vote or to
consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of
stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter/ or as having any
rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time
prior to the expiration of this warrant and prior to its exercise, any of the

shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or distribution in cash or otherwise;

additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of
the Company, or any right to subscribe for or purchase the same;

(other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a
sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and
business as an entirety shall be proposed to be voted upon by the
stockholders of the Company; or
(d) A merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any
other company shall be proposed to be voted upon by the
stockholders of the Company;
then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
of such event to the holder of this warrant at least fifteen (15) days prior to

rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding
up, sale, merger or consolidation. Such notice shall specify such record date or
the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken
in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or
distribution, or the issuance of any shares of capital stock or convertible or
exchangeable securities or subscription or purchase rights, or any proposed
dissolution, liquidation, winding up, sale, merger or consolidation.

for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made
without charge to the holder hereof including, without limitation, any tax that
may be payable in respect thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the

not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer

have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the disposition of
the Warrant or Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof (the
"Warrant Shares"), such holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such
Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, without first providing the
Company with an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel for the Company) to the
effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Such holder consents to the Company
making a notation on its records
<PAGE> 2
giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Warrant or Warrant Shares in
order to implement such restrictions on transferability.
3.2 Transfer Restrictions Legend. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are
registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form on the face thereof:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION
UNDER THE ACT, UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a distribution under a registration statement covering the securities
represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, the securities represented thereby may be transferred as
contemplated by such holder without violation of the registration requirements
of the Act.
4. Exercise Price and Redemption.
4.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial exercise
price shall be $2.00 per share of Common Stock. The adjusted exercise price
shall be the price that shall result from time to time from any and all
adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6 hereof.
4.2 Exercise Price The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean
the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price depending upon the
context.
4.3 Market Value. The term "Market Value" herein shall be an
amount equal to the average closing "bid" price of a share of the Company's
publicly traded Common Stock for the five (5) trading days preceding the
Company's receipt of the Notice of Exercise form duly executed multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate.
5. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
5.1 Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as
hereinafter provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date
hereof issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuances or
sales referred to in Section 5.5 hereof, the issuance or sale of any shares of
Common Stock resulting from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's
securities outstanding as of the date hereof or any other securities sold on the
date hereof), including shares held in the Company's treasury, for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the issuance or sale of such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith
upon such issuance or sale the Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance
or sale) be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined
by dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (X) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately prior to such issuance or sale, multiplied
by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus
(Y) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, by (B) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately after such issuance or sale; provided,
2
<PAGE> 3
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this
computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock provided for in Section 5.3 hereof.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.1, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
(or of other securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of
shares of Common Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash,
the amount of the cash portion of the consideration therefor deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be (i) the subscription price, if shares of Common
Stock are offered by the Company for subscription, or (ii) the public offering
price (after deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in
the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, but before deducting any other expenses incurred in
connection therewith), if such securities are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, or (iii) the net amount of
cash actually received by the Company for such securities, in any other case.
(b) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a
dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company, and otherwise than
on the exercise of options, rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities) of shares of Common Stock (or of other
securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the
amount of the consideration therefor other than cash deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be the value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on the basis of a record
of values of similar property or services.
(c) Shares of 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 day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution.
(d) The reclassification of securities of the Company other
than shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock
shall be deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the
date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such
shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of Common
Stock shall be determined as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.1.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time
outstanding shall be deemed to include the aggregate maximum number of shares
issuable (subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the
exercise of options, rights or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
5.2 Subdivision and Combination of Common Stock. In case the
Company shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or
otherwise) or combine (by any reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately
decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
5.3 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to
3
<PAGE> 4
the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (and of all the Warrants) shall be
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant (and of all the Warrants) immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
5.4 Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of
any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other
than a change from no par value to par value or vice versa or a change in par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification
or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock except a change as a result
of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company substantially as an entirety, the holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter (but only until the Expiration Date) have the right to purchase
the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance in respect of the number of shares issuable under this Warrant
immediately prior to the time of determination of stockholders of the Company
entitled to receive such shares of stock and/or other securities or property, at
a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable under
this Warrant immediately prior to such determination, times (y) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such determination, as if such holder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such determination. The Company
shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair provision for
exercise of the right of the holder hereof to receive, the shares of stock
and/or other securities or property provided for in this Section 5.4.
5.5 No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases. No
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or of any Warrant
Shares;
(b) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of options, rights or warrants, or upon the conversion or exchange
of convertible or exchangeable securities, in any case (i) where the purchase
price was adjusted at the time of issuance of such options, rights or warrants,
or convertible or exchangeable securities, as contemplated by Section 5.2 hereof
or (ii) where such options, rights, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities were outstanding prior to the date hereof;
(c) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
resulting from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities
outstanding as of the date hereof or of any agreements or contract rights to
purchase shares outstanding as of the date hereof; or
(d) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than one
cent ($.01) per share, provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that
would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall
be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment that,
together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at least one 1
cent ($.01) per share.
6. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant. This Warrant is
exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered holder
at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the
same
4
<PAGE> 5
number of shares as are purchasable hereunder in such denominations as shall be
designated by the registered holder hereof at the time of such surrender.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in case of
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in
lieu of this Warrant.
7. Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not
be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue stock certificates
representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but shall instead pay in cash,
in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock to which such holder would be
entitled if such fractional share were issuable, in an amount equal to the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of such exercise.
8. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the exercise hereof. The
Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of
the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Notices to Holders. Nothing contained in this warrant shall
be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof the right to vote or to
consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of
stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter/ or as having any
rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time
prior to the expiration of this warrant and prior to its exercise, any of the
following events shall occur:
(a) The Company shall take a record of the holders of its
shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend
or distribution in cash or otherwise;
(b) The Company shall offer to the holders of its Common Stock
any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any right to
subscribe for or purchase the same;
(c) A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or
substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be
proposed to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company; or
(d) A merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any
other company shall be proposed to be voted upon by the stockholders of the
Company;
then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
of such event to the holder of this warrant at least fifteen (15) days prior to
the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for
the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution,
additional shares, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription or
purchase rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation,
winding up, sale, merger or consolidation. Such notice shall specify such record
date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to
give such notice or any
5
<PAGE> 6
defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection
with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution, or the
issuance of any shares of capital stock or convertible or exchangeable
securities or subscription or purchase rights, or any proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up, sale, merger or consolidation.
10. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested:

(b) If to the Company, to the address set forth on the first

and warranties contained in this Warrant shall bind the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, distributees, successors and

EXHIBIT 4.38
September 16,1997
COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged by COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC. (the "Company"), The
Equity Group (the "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time
from the date hereof until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on September 15, 2002
(the "Expiration Date"), 10,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.0.0001665 per share (the "Common Stock").
This Warrant is exercisable at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter
defined) per share of Common Stock issuable hereunder, payable in cash or by
certified or official bank check, or at Holder's option by means of tendering
this Warrant Certificate to the Company in a cashless transaction to receive the
number of shares of Common Stock equal in Market Value, as hereinafter defined,
to the difference between the Market Value of the Shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the total Exercise Price thereof.
Upon surrender of this Warrant with the annexed Subscription Form duly executed,
together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock
purchased, at the Company's principal executive offices presently located at
Suite 200, 666 Eleventh Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001, the registered Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased.
1. Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant are exercisable at the option of the holder hereof, in whole or in part
(but not as to fractional shares of Common Stock), during the period in which
this Warrant may be exercised as set forth above. In the case of the purchase of
less than all the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, the
Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender hereof and shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder.
2. Issuance of Stock Certificate. The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the holder hereof including, without limitation, any tax that may be
payable in respect thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the
provisions of Section 3 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as
may be directed by, the holder hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any income tax to which the holder hereof may be subject
in connection with the issuance of this Warrant or of shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant; and provided further, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other
than that of the holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the disposition of
the Warrant or Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof (the
"Warrant Shares"), such holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such
Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, without first providing the
Company with an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel for the
<PAGE> 2
Company) to the effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Such holder
consents to the Company making a notation on its records giving instructions to
any transfer agent of the Warrant or Warrant Shares in order to implement such
restrictions on transferability.
3.2 Transfer Restrictions Legend. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are
registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form on the face thereof:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT, UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a distribution under a registration statement covering the securities
represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, the securities represented thereby may be transferred as
contemplated by such holder without violation of the registration requirements
of the Act.
3.3 Incidental Registration Rights. Whenever the Company proposes to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (other
than on Forms S-8 or S-4) at any time and from time to time, it will, prior to
such filing, give written notice to Holder of its intention to do so and, upon
the written request of Holder given within 15 days after the Company provides
such notice (which request shall state the intended disposition of such warrant
shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Warrant Shares
which the Company has been requested by such Holder to register to be registered
under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit their sale or other
disposition in accordance with their intended methods of distribution specified
in the request of such Holder; provided the Company shall have the right to
postpone any registration effected pursuant to this Section without obligation
to any Holder. If, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, the registration
of all or part of the Warrant Shares which the Holder has requested to be
included would materially and adversely affect such public offering, then the
Company shall be required to include in the underwriting only that number of
Warrant Shares, if any, which the managing underwriter believes may be sold
without causing such adverse effect.
4. Exercise Price and Redemption.
4.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial exercise price
shall be $3.50 per share of Common Stock. The adjusted exercise price shall be
the price that shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of
the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Section 6
hereof.
4.2 Exercise Price The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the
initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price depending upon the
context.
4.3 Market Value. The term "Market Value" herein shall be an amount
equal to the average closing "bid" price of a share of the Company's publicly
traded Common Stock for the five (5) trading days preceding the Company's
receipt of the Notice of Exercise form duly executed multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate.
2
<PAGE> 3
5. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
5.1 Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as hereinafter
provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue or
sell any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuance or sales referred to in
Section 5.5 hereof, the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock resulting
from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities outstanding
as of the date hereof or any other securities sold on the date hereof),
including shares held in the Company's treasury, for a consideration per share
less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale
of such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith upon such issuance or
sale the Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance or sale) be reduced
to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (A) an
amount equal to the sum of (X) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to subparagraph
(e) below) immediately prior to such issuance or sale, multiplied by the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus (Y)
the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, by (B) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately after such issuance or sale; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this
computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock provided for in Section 5.3 hereof.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.1, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or of
other securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount
of the cash portion of the consideration therefor deemed to have been received
by the Company shall be (i) the subscription price, if shares of Common Stock
are offered by the Company for subscription, or (ii) the public offering price
(after deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the
sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, but before deducting any other expenses incurred in
connection therewith), if such securities are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, or (iii) the net amount of
cash actually received by the Company for such securities, in any other case.
(b) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or
other distribution on any stock of the Company, and otherwise than on the
exercise of options, rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities) of shares of Common Stock (or of other
securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the
amount of the consideration therefor other than cash deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be the value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on the basis of a record
of values of similar property or services.
(c) Shares of 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 day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution.
(d) The reclassification of securities of the Company other than
shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of
3
<PAGE> 4
Common Stock for a consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close
of business on the date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled
to receive such shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such
shares of Common Stock shall be determined as provided in subsection (b) of this
Section 5.1.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding
shall be deemed to include the aggregate maximum number of shares issuable
(subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the exercise of
options, rights or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of convertible
or exchangeable securities.
5.2 Subdivision and Combination of Common . In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or
combine (by any reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in
the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
5.3 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (and
of all the Warrants) shall be obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and of all the Warrants)
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the
adjusted Exercise Price.
5.4 Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change from no par value to par value or vice versa or a change in par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification
or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock except a change as a result
of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company substantially as an entirety, the holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter (but only until the Expiration Date) have the right to purchase
the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance in respect of the number of shares issuable under this Warrant
immediately prior to the time of determination of stockholders of the Company
entitled to receive such shares of stock and/or other securities or property, at
a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable under
this Warrant immediately prior to such determination, times (y) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such determination, as if such holder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such determination. The Company
shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair provision for
exercise of the right of the holder hereof to receive, the shares of stock
and/or other securities or property provided for in this Section 5.4.
5.5 No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases. No adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or of any Warrant
Shares;
(b) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of options, rights or warrants, or upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities, in any case (i)
4
<PAGE> 5
where the purchase price was adjusted at the time of issuance of such options,
rights or warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities, as contemplated
by Section 5.2 hereof or (ii) where such options, rights, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities were outstanding prior to the date
hereof;
(c) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock resulting from
the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities outstanding as of

COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged by COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC. (the "Company"), The
Equity Group (the "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time
beginning six months from the date hereof until 5:00 P.M., New York City time,
on September 15, 2002 (the "Expiration Date"), 10,000 fully paid and
non-assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.0.0001665 per
share (the "Common Stock").
This Warrant is exercisable at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter
defined) per share of Common Stock issuable hereunder, payable in cash or by
certified or official bank check, or at Holder's option by means of tendering
this Warrant Certificate to the Company in a cashless transaction to receive the
number of shares of Common Stock equal in Market Value, as hereinafter defined,
to the difference between the Market Value of the Shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the total Exercise Price thereof.
Upon surrender of this Warrant with the annexed Subscription Form duly executed,
together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock
purchased, at the Company's principal executive offices presently located at
Suite 200, 666 Eleventh Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001, the registered Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased.
1. Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant are exercisable at the option of the holder hereof, in whole or in part
(but not as to fractional shares of Common Stock), during the period in which
this Warrant may be exercised as set forth above. In the case of the purchase of
less than all the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, the
Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender hereof and shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder.
2. Issuance of Stock Certificate. The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the holder hereof including, without limitation, any tax that may be
payable in respect thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the
provisions of Section 3 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as
may be directed by, the holder hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any income tax to which the holder hereof may be subject
in connection with the issuance of this Warrant or of shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant; and provided further, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other
than that of the holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the disposition of
the Warrant or Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof (the
"Warrant Shares"), such holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such
Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, without first providing the
Company with an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel for the
<PAGE> 2
Company) to the effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Such holder
consents to the Company making a notation on its records giving instructions to
any transfer agent of the Warrant or Warrant Shares in order to implement such
restrictions on transferability.
3.2 Transfer Restrictions Legend. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are
registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form on the face thereof:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT, UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a distribution under a registration statement covering the securities
represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, the securities represented thereby may be transferred as
contemplated by such holder without violation of the registration requirements
of the Act.
3.3 Incidental Registration Rights. Whenever the Company proposes to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (other
than on Forms S-8 or S-4) at any time and from time to time, it will, prior to
such filing, give written notice to Holder of its intention to do so and, upon
the written request of Holder given within 15 days after the Company provides
such notice (which request shall state the intended disposition of such warrant
shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Warrant Shares
which the Company has been requested by such Holder to register to be registered
under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit their sale or other
disposition in accordance with their intended methods of distribution specified
in the request of such Holder; provided the Company shall have the right to
postpone any registration effected pursuant to this Section without obligation
to any Holder. If, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, the registration
of all or part of the Warrant Shares which the Holder has requested to be
included would materially and adversely affect such public offering, then the
Company shall be required to include in the underwriting only that number of
Warrant Shares, if any, which the managing underwriter believes may be sold
without causing such adverse effect.
4. Exercise Price and Redemption.
4.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial exercise price
shall be $3.50 per share of Common Stock. The adjusted exercise price shall be
the price that shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of
the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof
4.2 Exercise Price The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the
initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price depending upon the
context.
4.3 Market Value. The term "Market Value" herein shall be an amount
equal to the average closing "bid" price of a share of the Company's publicly
traded Common Stock for the five (5) trading days preceding the Company's
receipt of the Notice of Exercise form duly executed multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate.

<PAGE> 3
5. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
5.1 Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as hereinafter
provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue or
sell any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuance or sales referred to in
Section 5.5 hereof, the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock resulting
from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities outstanding
as of the date hereof or any other securities sold on the date hereof),
including shares held in the Company's treasury, for a consideration per share
less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale
of such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith upon such issuance or
sale the Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance or sale) be reduced
to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (A) an
amount equal to the sum of (X) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to subparagraph
(e) below) immediately prior to such issuance or sale, multiplied by the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus (Y)
the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, by (B) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately after such issuance or sale; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this
computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock provided for in Section 5.3 hereof.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.1, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or of
other securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount
of the cash portion of the consideration therefor deemed to have been received
by the Company shall be (i) the subscription price, if shares of Common Stock
are offered by the Company for subscription, or (ii) the public offering price
(after deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the
sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, but before deducting any other expenses incurred in
connection therewith), if such securities are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, or (iii) the net amount of
cash actually received by the Company for such securities, in any other case.
(b) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or
other distribution on any stock of the Company, and otherwise than on the
exercise of options, rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities) of shares of Common Stock (or of other
securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the
amount of the consideration therefor other than cash deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be the value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on the basis of a record
of values of similar property or services.
(c) Shares of 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 day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution.
(d) The reclassification of securities of the Company other than
shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of
3
<PAGE> 4
Common Stock for a consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close
of business on the date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled
to receive such shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such
shares of Common Stock shall be determined as provided in subsection (b) of this
Section 5.1.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding
shall be deemed to include the aggregate maximum number of shares issuable
(subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the exercise of
options, rights or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of convertible
or exchangeable securities.
5.2 Subdivision and Combination of Common . In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or
combine (by any reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in
the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
5.3 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (and
of all the Warrants) shall be obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and of all the Warrants)
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the
adjusted Exercise Price.
5.4 Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change from no par value to par value or vice versa or a change in par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification
or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock except a change as a result
of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company substantially as an entirety, the holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter (but only until the Expiration Date) have the right to purchase
the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance in respect of the number of shares issuable under this Warrant
immediately prior to the time of determination of stockholders of the Company
entitled to receive such shares of stock and/or other securities or property, at
a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable under
this Warrant immediately prior to such determination, times (y) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such determination, as if such holder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such determination. The Company
shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair provision for
exercise of the right of the holder hereof to receive, the shares of stock
and/or other securities or property provided for in this Section 5.4.
5.5 No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases. No adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or of any Warrant
Shares;
(b) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of options, rights or warrants, or upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities, in any case (i)

rights or warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities, as contemplated
by Section 5.2 hereof or (ii) where such options, rights, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities were outstanding prior to the date
hereof;
(c) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock resulting from
the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities outstanding as of
the date hereof or of any agreements or contract rights to purchase shares
outstanding as of the date hereof; or

principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants of like

representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but shall instead pay in cash,
in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock to which such holder would be
entitled if such fractional share were issuable, in an amount equal to the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of such exercise.
8. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of
Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the exercise hereof. The Company

common stock, $.0001665 par value (the "Common Stock")(the "Options") in
consideration of Optionee's accomplishments and other contributions to the
Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Options awarded to the Optionee are not granted pursuant to
the Company's Stock Option Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing it is agreed as
follows:

options nor any right hereunder shall be transferable otherwise than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution without the prior approval of the Board of
Directors of the Company, or be subject to attachment, execution or other
similar process. In the event of any attempt by the Optionee to alienate,
assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this option or of any right
hereunder, without the prior approval of the Board of Directors of the Company,

by notice to the Optionee and it shall thereupon become null and void.

and accompanied by payment of the Option Price (a) in currency, (b) by check,
bank draft or cashier's check, (c) by surrender or delivery to the Company of
shares of its Common Stock, or (d) in any other form acceptable to the Company,

unissued shares or reacquired shares of Common Stock, as the Company may elect.
4. Delivery of Shares.
4.1 The Company may postpone the time of delivery of certificates for
shares of its Common Stock for such additional time as the Company shall deem
necessary or desirable to enable it to comply with the listing requirements of
any securities exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Company may be
listed, or the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or any rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission promulgated thereunder or the requirements of applicable state laws
relating to authorization, issuance or sale of securities.
4.2 If the Optionee fails to accept delivery of the shares of Common
Stock of the Company under tender of delivery thereof, his right to exercise
this option with respect to such undelivered shares may be terminated.
4.3 The Optionee understands that the securities issued or to be
issued have not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"). The Optionee agrees:
(a) that the shares of the Company's Common Stock to be acquired by him

Company's Common Stock in a manner that would cause issuance or
subsequent sale or disposal of such shares to be in violation of
the Act, and agrees to indemnify and exonerate the Company against
any loss, damage, liability or expense, including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees, arising from any distribution
of such shares in violation of the Act.

remote, other than those sold to the public in conformity with the
Act) will contain the following legend:
"The shares represented by this Certificate may not be sold or
transferred in the absence of any effective registration statement
for the shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or an opinion of
counsel for the Company that registration is not required under
said Act."
5. Protection Against Dilution. In case of any stock split or reverse
stock split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock,
recapitalization, merger or consolidation, or like capital adjustment affecting
the Common Stock of the Company, the provisions of this Section 5 shall be
applied as if such capital adjustment event had occurred immediately prior to
the particular exercise date and the original Option Price had been fairly
allocated to the stock resulting from such capital adjustment; and in other
respects the provisions of this Section shall be applied in a fair, equitable
and reasonable manner so as to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes
hereof. A rights offering to stockholders shall be deemed a stock dividend to

COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged by Complete Wellness Centers, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), Credit Research & Trading, LLC (the "Holder") is
hereby granted the right to purchase at any time from the date hereof until 5:00
P.M., New York City time, on February 28, 2003 (the "Expiration Date"), ninety
thousand (90,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock").
This Warrant is exercisable at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter
defined) per share of Common Stock issuable hereunder, payable in cash or by
certified or official bank check. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the
annexed Subscription Form duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise
Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, at the Company's principal
executive offices presently located at 725 Independence Avenue, SE, Washington,
DC 20003 the registered Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a
certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the
option of the holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional
shares of Common Stock), during the period in which this Warrant may be
exercised as set forth above. In the case of the purchase of less than all the
shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel
this Warrant upon the surrender hereof and shall
<PAGE> 2
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the shares of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
2. Issuance of Stock Certificate.
The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder hereof
including, without limitation, any tax that may be payable in respect thereof,
and such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof) be
issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the holder
hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
income tax to which the holder hereof may be subject in connection with the
issuance of this Warrant or of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder and the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or
until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to
the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the disposition of
the Warrant or Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof (the
"Warrant Shares"), such holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such
Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, without first providing the
Company with an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel for the Company) to the
effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Such holder consents to the Company
making a notation on its records giving instructions to any transfer agent of
the Warrant or Warrant Shares in order to implement such restrictions on
transferability.
3.2 Transfer Restrictions Legend. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are
registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form on the face thereof:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER
THE ACT, UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a distribution
<PAGE> 3
under a registration statement covering the securities represented thereby)
shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
the securities represented thereby may be transferred as contemplated by such
holder without violation of the registration requirements of the Act.
3.3 Incidental Registration Rights. Whenever the Company proposes to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (other
than on Forms S-8 or S-4) at any time and from time to time, it will, prior to
such filing, give written notice to Holder of its intention to do so and, upon
the written request of Holder given within 15 days after the Company provides
such notice (which request shall state the intended method of disposition of
such Warrant Shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all
Warrant Shares which the Company has been requested by such Holder to register
to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit
their sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of
distribution specified in the request of such Holder; provided that the Company
shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant
to this Section without obligation to any Holder. If in the opinion of the
managing underwriter the registration of all, or part of, the Warrant Shares
which the Holder has requested to be included would materially and adversely
affect such public offering, then the Company shall be required to include in
the underwriting only that number of Warrant Shares, if any, which the managing
underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect.
4. Exercise Price and Redemption.
4.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial exercise price
shall be $2.50 per share of Common Stock. The adjusted exercise price shall be
the price that shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of
the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Section 6
hereof.
4.2 Exercise Price The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the
initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price depending upon the
context.
5. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
5.1 Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as hereinafter
provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue or
sell any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuances or sales referred to
in Section 5.5 hereof or the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock
resulting from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities,
including without limitation warrants, options, and contract rights, outstanding
on the date hereof), including shares held in the Company's treasury, for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the issuance or sale of such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith
upon
<PAGE> 4
such issuance or sale the Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance or
sale) be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by
dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (X) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately prior to such issuance or sale, multiplied
by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus
(Y) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, by (B) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately after such issuance or sale; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this
computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock provided for in Section 5.3 hereof.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.1, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or of
other securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount
of the cash portion of the consideration therefor deemed to have been received
by the Company shall be (i) the subscription price, if shares of Common Stock
are offered by the Company for subscription, or (ii) the public offering price
(after deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the
sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, but before deducting any other expenses incurred in
connection therewith), if such securities are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, or (iii) the net amount of
cash actually received by the Company for such securities, in any other case.
(b) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or
other distribution on any stock of the Company, and otherwise than on the
exercise of options, rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities) of shares of Common Stock (or of other
securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the
amount of the consideration therefor other than cash deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be the value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on the basis of a record
of values of similar property or services.
(c) Shares of 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 day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution.
<PAGE> 5

shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the
date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such
shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of Common
Stock shall be determined as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.1.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding
shall be deemed to include the aggregate maximum number of shares issuable
(subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the exercise of

or exchangeable securities.
5.2 Subdivision and Combination of Common Stock. In case the Company
shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or
combine (by any reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in
the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
5.3 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant (and of all the Warrants) immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
5.4 Reclassification. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change from no par value to par value or vice versa or a change in par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification
or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock except a change as a result
of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company substantially as an entirety, the holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter (but only until the Expiration Date) have the right to purchase
the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance in respect of the number of shares issuable under this Warrant
immediately prior to the time of determination of stockholders of the Company
entitled to receive such shares of stock and/or other securities or property, at
a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable under
this Warrant immediately prior to such determination, times (y) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such determination, as if such holder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such determination. The
<PAGE> 6
Company shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair
provision for exercise of the right of the holder hereof to receive, the shares
of stock and/or other securities or property provided for in this Section 5.4.

the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or of any Warrant
Shares;
(b) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of options, rights or warrants, or upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities, in any case (i) where the purchase price
was adjusted at the time of issuance of such options, rights or warrants, or
convertible or exchangeable securities, as contemplated by Section 5.2 hereof or
(ii) where such options, rights, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities were outstanding prior to the date hereof;
(c) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock resulting from
the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities outstanding as of
the date hereof or of any agreements or contract rights to purchase shares
outstanding as of the date hereof; or

the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the disposition of
the Warrant or Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof (the
"Warrant Shares"), such holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such
Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, without first providing the
Company with an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel for the Company) to the
effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Such holder consents to the Company
making a notation on its records giving instructions to any transfer agent of
the Warrant or Warrant Shares in order to implement such restrictions on
transferability.
3.2 Transfer Restrictions Legend. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are
registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form on the face thereof:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT, UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a distribution
<PAGE> 3
under a registration statement covering the securities represented thereby)
shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
the securities represented thereby may be transferred as contemplated by such
holder without violation of the registration requirements of the Act.
3.3 Incidental Registration Rights. Whenever the Company proposes to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (other
than on Forms S-8 or S-4) at any time and from time to time, it will, prior to
such filing, give written notice to Holder of its intention to do so and, upon
the written request of Holder given within 15 days after the Company provides
such notice (which request shall state the intended method of disposition of
such Warrant Shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all
Warrant Shares which the Company has been requested by such Holder to register
to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit
their sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of
distribution specified in the request of such Holder; provided that the Company
shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant
to this Section without obligation to any Holder. If in the opinion of the
managing underwriter the registration of all, or part of, the Warrant Shares
which the Holder has requested to be included would materially and adversely
affect such public offering, then the Company shall be required to include in
the underwriting only that number of Warrant Shares, if any, which the managing
underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect.
4. Exercise Price and Redemption.
4.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial exercise price
shall be $1.6875 per share of Common Stock. The adjusted exercise price shall

hereof.
4.2 Exercise Price The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the
initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price depending upon the
context.
5. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
5.1 Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as hereinafter
provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue or
sell any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuance or sales referred to in
Section 5.5 hereof or the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock
resulting from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities,
including without limitation warrants, options, and contract rights, outstanding
on the date hereof), including shares held in the Company's treasury, for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the issuance or sale of such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith
upon
<PAGE> 4
such issuance or sale the Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance or
sale) be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by
dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (X) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately prior to such issuance or sale, multiplied
by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus
(Y) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, by (B) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately after such issuance or sale; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this
computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding
shares of Common Stock provided for in Section 5.3 hereof.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.1., the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or of
other securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount
of the cash portion of the consideration therefor deemed to have been received
by the Company shall be (i) the subscription price, if shares of Common Stock
are offered by the Company for subscription, or (ii) the public offering price
(after deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the
sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, but before deducting any other expenses incurred in
connection therewith), if such securities are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, or (iii) the net amount of
cash actually received by the Company for such securities, in any other case.
(b) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or
other distribution on any stock of the Company, and otherwise than on the
exercise of options, rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities) of shares of Common Stock (or of other
securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the
amount of the consideration therefor other than cash deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be the value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on the basis of a record
of values of similar property or services.
(c) Shares of 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 day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution.
<PAGE> 5
(d) The reclassification of securities of the Company other than
shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the
date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such
shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of Common
Stock shall be determined as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.1.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding
shall be deemed to include the aggregate maximum number of shares issuable
(subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the exercise of
options, rights or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of convertible
or exchangeable securities.
5.2 Subdivision and Combination of Common Stock. In case the Company
shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or
combine (by any reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in
the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
5.3 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior

consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,

<PAGE> 6
Company shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair
provision for exercise of the right of the holder hereof to receive, the shares
of stock and/or other securities or property provided for in this Section 5.4.

June 25, 1998
COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged by COMPLETE WELLNESS CENTERS, INC. (the "Company"), C.
John Peterson (the "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase fully paid
and non-assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.0.0001665
per share (the "Common Stock") in an amount of Ten Thousand (10,000) Shares at
any time from December 24, 1998 until 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on June 24, 2003
(the "Expiration Date"), and Ten Thousand (10,000) Shares upon completion of the
Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Financing or the redemption of the
Wexford Management's investment in the Company.
This Warrant is exercisable at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter
defined) per share of Common Stock issuable hereunder, payable in cash or by
certified or official bank check, or at Holder's option by means of tendering
this Warrant Certificate to the Company. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the
annexed Subscription Form duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise
Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, at the Company's principal
executive offices presently located at Suite 200, 666 Eleventh Street, NW,
Washington, DC 20001, the registered Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased.
1. Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant are exercisable at the option of the holder hereof, in whole or in part
(but not as to fractional shares of Common Stock), during the period in which
this Warrant may be exercised as set forth above. In the case of the purchase of
less than all the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, the
Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender hereof and shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder.
2. Issuance of Stock Certificate. The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the holder hereof including, without limitation, any tax that may be
payable in respect thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the
provisions of Section 3 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as
may be directed by, the holder hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any income tax to which the holder hereof may be subject
in connection with the issuance of this Warrant or of shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant; and provided further, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other
than that of the holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the disposition of
the Warrant or Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof (the
"Warrant Shares"), such holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such
Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, without first providing the
Company with an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel for the Company) to the
effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and
prospectus
<PAGE> 2
delivery requirements of the Act. Such holder consents to the Company making a
notation on its records giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Warrant
or Warrant Shares in order to implement such restrictions on transferability.
3.2 Transfer Restrictions Legend. Each certificate representing
Warrant Shares, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are
registered under the Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form on the face thereof:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT, UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a distribution under a registration statement covering the securities
represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, the securities represented thereby may be transferred as
contemplated by such holder without violation of the registration requirements
of the Act.
4. Exercise Price and Redemption.
4.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial exercise price
shall be $3.125 per share of Common Stock. The adjusted exercise price shall be
the price that shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of
the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Section 6
hereof.
4.2 Exercise Price The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the
initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price depending upon the
context.
4.3 Market Value. The term "Market Value" herein shall be an amount
equal to the average closing "bid" price of a share of the Company's publicly
traded Common Stock for the five (5) trading days preceding the Company's
receipt of the Notice of Exercise form duly executed multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate.
5. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
5.1 Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as hereinafter
provided, in case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue or
sell any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuances or sales referred to
in Section 5.5 hereof, the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock
resulting from the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities
outstanding as of the date hereof or any other securities sold on the date
hereof), including shares held in the Company's treasury, for a consideration
per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
issuance or sale of such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith upon
such issuance or sale the Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance or
sale) be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by
dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (X) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to
subparagraph (e) below) immediately prior to such issuance or sale, multiplied
by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus
(Y) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, by (B) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including shares deemed to be
2
<PAGE> 3
outstanding pursuant to subparagraph (e) below) immediately after such issuance
or sale; provided, however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be
adjusted pursuant to this computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such computation, except in the case of a
combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock provided for in Section 5.3
hereof.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.1, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or of
other securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount
of the cash portion of the consideration therefor deemed to have been received
by the Company shall be (i) the subscription price, if shares of Common Stock
are offered by the Company for subscription, or (ii) the public offering price
(after deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the
sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others
performing similar services, but before deducting any other expenses incurred in
connection therewith), if such securities are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, or (iii) the net amount of
cash actually received by the Company for such securities, in any other case.
(b) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or
other distribution on any stock of the Company, and otherwise than on the
exercise of options, rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities) of shares of Common Stock (or of other
securities deemed hereunder to involve the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock) for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the
amount of the consideration therefor other than cash deemed to have been
received by the Company shall be the value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company on the basis of a record
of values of similar property or services.
(c) Shares of 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 day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution.
(d) The reclassification of securities of the Company other than
shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the
date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such
shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of Common
Stock shall be determined as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.1.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding
shall be deemed to include the aggregate maximum number of shares issuable
(subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the exercise of
options, rights or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of convertible
or exchangeable securities.
5.2 Subdivision and Combination of Common . In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or
combine (by any reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in
the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
3
<PAGE> 4
5.3 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (and
of all the Warrants) shall be obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and of all the Warrants)
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the
adjusted Exercise Price.
5.4 Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change from no par value to par value or vice versa or a change in par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification
or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock except a change as a result
of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company substantially as an entirety, the holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter (but only until the Expiration Date) have the right to purchase
the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance in respect of the number of shares issuable under this Warrant
immediately prior to the time of determination of stockholders of the Company
entitled to receive such shares of stock and/or other securities or property, at
a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable under
this Warrant immediately prior to such determination, times (y) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such determination, as if such holder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such determination. The Company
shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair provision for
exercise of the right of the holder hereof to receive, the shares of stock
and/or other securities or property provided for in this Section 5.4.
5.5 No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases. No adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of this Warrant or of any Warrant
Shares;
(b) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of options, rights or warrants, or upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities, in any case (i) where the purchase price
was adjusted at the time of issuance of such options, rights or warrants, or
convertible or exchangeable securities, as contemplated by Section 5.2 hereof or
(ii) where such options, rights, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities were outstanding prior to the date hereof;
(c) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock resulting from
the exercise or conversion of any of the Company's securities outstanding as of
the date hereof or of any agreements or contract rights to purchase shares
outstanding as of the date hereof; or
(d) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than one cent
($.01) per share, provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that would
otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be
made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment that,
together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at least one 1
cent ($.01) per share.
6. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable
without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered holder at the
principal executive office of the Company, for a
4
<PAGE> 5
new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the same number of shares as are purchasable hereunder in such
denominations as shall be designated by the registered holder hereof at the time
of such surrender.

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

Certificate.
No Warrant may be exercised after 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly

Redeemable Warrants of the Company (one Redeemable Warrant entitling the owner
to purchase one fully-paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock) at the
initial exercise price, subject to adjustment in certain events (the "Exercise

upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at

No Warrant may be exercised after 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the

prior thereto, hereby shall thereafter be void.
The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly

registered holder) of the Warrants.
The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events

event, the Company will, at the request of the holder, issue a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number

Certificate at an office or agency of the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number

Warrant Certificate representing such number of unexercised Warrants.
The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s) hereof as the
absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any
exercise hereof, and of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all
other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Agreement made as of the 1st day of April, 1999, by and between on the
one hand Haim Zitman, residing at 320 East 52nd Street, Apt. 14A, New York, New
York 10022 ("Plaintiff"), and on the other hand (i) Complete Wellness Centers,
Inc. ("CWC"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware,
whose principal place of business is 666 Eleventh Street, N.W., Suite 200,
Washington, D.C. 20001, and (ii) Complete Wellness Weight Management, Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (collectively
"Defendants"). Plaintiff and Defendants agree as follows:
1. Simultaneously with the execution of this Settlement Agreement,
counsel for Plaintiff and Defendants shall execute the Stipulation and Order
Dismissing Action With Prejudice (in the form attached hereto), which will be
presented within three business days thereafter to the Court (Judge William H.
Pauley) to be "So Ordered."
2. By not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of
this Settlement Agreement, CWC shall cause to be registered non-restricted,
freely tradeable shares of CWC common stock whose aggregate offering price on
the day the secondary goes to market will equal $80,000. Such shares shall be
issued and registered as follows: "Haim Zitman."
3. If, within CWC's sole discretion or otherwise, it registers no
non-restricted, freely tradeable shares of CWC common stock within one hundred
eighty days after the date of this Settlement Agreement, CWC may, prior to the
expiration of the foregoing one hundred eighty day period, issue a certified or
bank check in the amount of $80,000, payable to "Haim Zitman" and "Sheldon
Eisenberger, As Attorney For Haim Zitman," and deliver same to Sheldon
Eisenberger.
<PAGE> 2
4. If CWC either registers and delivers the stock as provided in
paragraph two above, or pays the $80,000 as provided in paragraph three above,
then Defendants shall have no further obligations to Plaintiff.
5. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Settlement Agreement,
CWC shall sign and deliver (i) the original of the Affidavit of Confession of
Judgment (in the form attached hereto), and (ii) the original of the Promissory
Note (in the form attached hereto) upon which the Affidavit of Confession of
Judgment is based, to Sheldon Eisenberger, who shall hold both documents in
escrow. If the one hundred eighty day period referred to in paragraphs two and
three above expires and CWC has failed to register and deliver the $80,000 worth
of nonrestricted, freely tradeable shares of CWC common stock, or,
alternatively, has failed to deliver the certified or bank check in the amount
of $80,000, Plaintiff shall have the right to enter and enforce immediately the
original of the Affidavit of Confession of Judgment, based upon the original of
the Promissory Note. With respect to the Promissory Note, Defendants agree to
waive the notice requirement of presentment and demand. If CWC registers and
delivers the stock or pays the $80,000 pursuant to paragraphs two and three
above, respectively, then Sheldon Eisenberger shall return the original
Affidavit of Confession of Judgment and the original Promissory Note to
Flemming, Zulack & Williamson, LLP within three business days thereafter.
6. In consideration of the terms of this Settlement Agreement,
Plaintiff and Defendants agree to execute and exchange general releases in the
forms attached hereto. The attorneys for each party shall hold the general
releases in escrow. If CWC registers and delivers the stock or pays the $80,000
pursuant to paragraphs two and three above, respectively, then Plaintiff's and
Defendants' attorneys shall exchange the general releases they are holding in
-2-
<PAGE> 3
escrow within three business days thereafter (or, in the case of $80,000
payment, after the check is negotiated and clears).
7. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced under the laws of
the State of New York. The Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to the
enforcement of this Settlement Agreement or any dispute arising therefrom.
Plaintiff and Defendants consent to jurisdiction in the Southern District of New
York, and, in the event that the Southern District of New York refuses to
exercise jurisdiction, in any state court of New York State.
8. Plaintiff and Defendants are entering into this Agreement to
settle the action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York captioned "Haim Zitman v. Complete Wellness Centers, Inc.
and Complete Wellness Weight Management, Inc.", Index No. 98 Civ. 8409. This
Agreement does not constitute and shall not be construed to constitute an
admission of any liability by Defendants in connection with this action. This
Agreement is being entered into by Defendants solely as a compromise of disputed
claims.
9. CWC represents that at the present time it has no intention of
submitting a bankruptcy petition.
10. The terms of this Settlement Agreement, including the amount of
any consideration paid, shall be kept confidential and shall not be directly or
indirectly disclosed by Plaintiff or Defendants or any of their employees,
agents, or attorneys, except by written agreement signed by Plaintiff and
Defendants, Court Order, or as required by law, nor shall any settlement
agreement or release be filed in any court or introduced in evidence in any
action for any purpose whatsoever by anyone, other than in an action between
Plaintiff and Defendants
-3-

hereto to enforce or interpret its terms or to seek modification of this
paragraph, except as otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Complete Wellness Centers, Inc. the "company",
a Delaware corporation, in connection with its registration of 1,738,821 shares
of common stock common and as described in the company's registration statement
on Form S-3, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933. The common stock consists of shares that may be offered
by certain stockholders of the company or by pledgees, donees, transferees or
other successors in interest that receive such shares as a gift, partnership
distribution or other non-sale related transfer, or the "resale shares".
We are familiar with the corporate proceedings taken by the company in
connection with the issuance and sale of the resale shares. It is our opinion
that the resale shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the registration
statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in
the prospectus, which is part of the registration statement.
Very truly yours,
[Signature]
