Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Unapix
Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.
2. FINANCING
In August 1996, the Company completed a private offering of Units, each
consisting of: (i) a $250,000 principal amount 10% Convertible Subordinated Note
due June 30, 2003 convertible into the Company's common stock, par value $.01
per share ("Common Stock") at a price of $4.50 per share (a "Note"); and (ii)
Warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of the Common Stock, at an exercise price of
$6.00 per share ("Warrant"), expiring June 30, 2003. The Warrants and Notes are
redeemable by the Company under certain circumstances. The Units and the
securities comprising the Units were offered in a private placement and have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold
in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise and
conversion of the Notes and Warrants have certain registration rights. As of
June 30, 1996, the Company had received $563,000 in connection with such
offering. In July the Company received an additional $1,000,000 bringing the
debentures issued to a total of $1,563,000. A total of 158,750 Warrants were
issued in this offering.
3. EQUITY
In April 1996, the Company declared a special 5 percent stock dividend, payable
on May 6, 1996 to stockholders of record of its common stock on April 22, 1996.
The company issued 249,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the declared stock
dividend.
In June 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor relations
firm, pursuant to which the Company issued 300,000 common stock purchase
options. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock
at a price of $3.875, which was the market price as of the date of the
Agreement. The options have a term of five years. The Company is also obligated
to issue an additional 100,000 options which will expire within one year unless
all of the Company's Class B Warrants have been exercised prior to that time. If
all the Class B Warrants are exercised during the one year period, the 100,000
options will have the same term as the other 300,000 options.

========
5. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
There is a full provision for taxes on income for the first six months of 1996.
The provision for income taxes of $186,000 for the first six months of 1995
reflects a deferred tax benefit of $400,000, attributable to the reduction of
the deferred tax allowance.
6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net income (loss) per common share ("EPS") is based upon the weighted average
number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each
period.
For the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the six months ended June
30, 1996 the weighted average shares consist of common shares outstanding. This
amount does not include the assumed conversion of any warrants, options or other
convertible securities as the impact of such conversions on the EPS calculation
would be immaterial.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the earnings per share calculation is
based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock
during the period, including common equivalent shares applicable to the assumed
exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants.
The number of shares and net income per share for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1995 have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend paid in
the second quarter of 1996.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
------------- -------------
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $851,000 or 19%,
to $5,353,000 as compared to the same three month period in 1995. This increase
in revenues is primarily a result of the increase in licensing revenues of
$806,000 or 54% to $2,304,000. This increase reflects the Company's increased
emphasis on the licensing business. Management is expecting that improvements in
revenues will continue throughout 1996.
Licensing and distribution costs for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased by $695,000, or 76%, to $1,610,000 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1995. This increase reflects increased royalty, amortization and other
film expenses associated with the higher levels of revenues described above.
General and administrative costs were $1,583,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1996, as compared to $1,231,000 in the same period in 1995. This increase is
chiefly attributable to costs related to the infrastructure required to support
the Company's continued expansion and diversification. Included in these costs
are start-up costs related to the Company's new direct marketing operations,
which began in the second quarter of 1996 as well as efforts to market niche
product overseas. These costs mainly consisted of increased staffing and office
costs to support the increased sales activity described above, as well as the
start up operations.
The Company had income before taxes of $30,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1996 as compared to income before taxes of $225,000 for the corresponding
three month period in 1995. This $195,000 decrease in results is due to the
costs of the implementation of the Company's plan of expansion and
diversification which the Company expects to affect results positively in
future. Management anticipates that as the expansion into new niches, such as
the "Direct Marketing" niche, and as the number of higher quality releases to
the video rental market and the licensing and distribution markets increases in
1996, the impact on operations should be favorable.
In the 1996 and 1995 quarters there is a full provision for taxes on income.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
------------- -------------
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $1,886,000 or 22%,
to $10,585,000 as compared to the same six month period in 1995. This increase
in revenues is primarily a result of the increase in home video revenue of
$1,180,000 or 20% to $7,087,000 due to the success of the Company's sell-through
operations which generated revenues of $1,614,000 in the second quarter of 1996
as compared to $516,000 in the same period of 1995 during which the sell-through
operations were in their start up stage. Licensing and distribution revenues
also showed a strong increase of $706,000 or 25% to $3,498,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. The improvement is attributable to the increased
emphasis on the Company's licensing business. Management is expecting that
improvements in revenues will continue throughout 1996.
Licensing and distribution costs for the six months ended June 30, 1996
increased by $635,000, or 38%, to $2,322,000 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1995. In addition, home video costs for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996 increased by $510,000, or 12%, to $4,663,000 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1995. These increases reflect increased royalty,
amortization and other film expenses associated with the higher levels of
revenues described above.
General and administrative costs were $3,156,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, as compared to $2,239,000 in the same period in 1995. This increase is
chiefly attributable to costs related to the infrastructure required to support
the Company's continued expansion and diversification. Included in these costs
are start-up costs related to the Company's new direct marketing operations
which began in the second quarter of 1996. These costs mainly consisted of
increased staffing and office costs to support the increased sales activity
described above, as well as the start up operations.
The Company had income before taxes of $421,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1996 as compared to income before taxes of $547,000 for the corresponding
six month period in 1995. This $126,000 decrease in results is due to the costs
of the implementation of the Company's plan of expansion and diversification,
which the Company expects to benefit future periods. Management anticipates that
as the expansion into new niches, such as the "Direct Marketing" niche, and as
the number of higher quality releases to the video rental market and the
licensing and distribution markets increases in 1996, the impact on operations
should be favorable.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996 there is a full provision for taxes on
income. In 1996 there was a net income tax benefit, as a $400,000 net operating
loss benefit recognized more than offset the six month tax provision of
$214,000.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company utilized net cash for
operating activities of $1,983,000, primarily as a result of the $8,080,000
incurred in acquiring and promoting new properties for the home video rental and
the licensing and distribution markets. Operating cash requirements were
primarily met by cash inflows from operations, cash on hand and the utilization
of the Company's credit facility.
In the normal course of business the Company makes certain guarantees to
producers and other third parties as to the minimum amount such parties will
receive from the Company's distribution of their products. The Company has
committed to pay film acquisition advances and guarantees of approximately
$1,217,000 as of June 30, 1996, which amounts are payable upon delivery of the
films. The Company also expects to incur significant additional costs relating
to its continued expansion. In order to meet its future funding needs the
Company will utilize cash on-hand, operating cash flows, its line of credit and
other financings, including the financing described below.
In July 1996, the Company completed a private offering of Units, each consisting
of: (i) a $250,000 principal amount 10% Convertible Subordinated Note due June
30, 2003 convertible into the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share
("Common Stock") at a price of $4.50 per share (a "Note"); and (ii) Warrants to
purchase 25,000 shares of the Common Stock, at an exercise price of $6.00 per
share ("Warrant"), expiring June 30, 2003. The offering generated proceeds of
$1,563,000, of which $563,000 was received in the second quarter of 1996, and
the remainder in July 1996 (for further details concerning this private
placement see footnote 2).
The Company's credit facility with Atlantic Bank of New York (the "Bank")
provides for borrowings of up to $2,500,000. Loans are extended and required to
be repaid based upon the Company's outstanding accounts receivable and other
contractual rights to payment. Interest on the outstanding loan balance accrues
at a rate of 1.5% per annum in excess of the Bank's publicly announced benchmark
rate. The term of the facility expires on May 31, 1997, and may be terminated by
either party upon 60 days notice after such date. The Bank may also terminate
the facility upon 60 days notice at any time throughout the term. Outstanding
amounts under the facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's
assets. The facility contains restrictive covenants that require minimum (i)
tangible net worth, (ii) liquidity and (iii) earnings to interest expense
ratios. The covenants prohibit the payment of cash dividends on common stock or
a change in control of the Company. The covenants also, among other things,
limit the Company's ratio of debt to net worth and the amount of loan proceeds
which can be utilized to acquire film rights or finance film productions. As of
June 30, 1996 the Company had borrowed $100,000 and had remaining availability
of $1,456,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED):
The feature film and television licensing and distribution industries require
significant expenditures of funds to establish and expand a library of films and
programs from which revenues may be generated. The Company could be dependent
upon future financing to continue its long term plans of expansion and growth.
The Company anticipates that as its asset base grows it will secure an increased
working capital line of credit as well as explore other film acquisition
financing arrangements. The Company may also have additional debt or equity
financing.

any, and interest on: (i) all Indebtedness of the Company to any bank or other
financial institution (including, without limitation, to Atlantic Bank of New
York) whether such indebtedness is heretofore or hereafter created, incurred or
entered into (or acquired by assignment) and any deferrals, renewals,
modifications or extensions of any such indebtedness, unless under the express
provisions of the instrument creating or evidencing any such indebtedness, or
pursuant to which the same is outstanding, such indebtedness is not superior in
right of payment to this Note; and (ii) all Indebtedness of the Company owed
with respect to its Variable Rate Senior Subordinated Notes due December 31,
2001. "Indebtedness" for all purposes herein means and includes without
duplication, as of any date as of which the amount thereof is to be determined
(whether or not secured by lien, pledge or deposit), all direct obligations to
repay money borrowed (including without limitation, amounts borrowed under
revolving credit facilities, either now existing or hereafter created (including
any increase in existing facilities), all notes payable and drafts accepted
representing extensions of credit, and all obligations evidenced by bonds,
debentures, notes or other similar instruments) and all interest accrued and
unpaid thereon.
2.2 DEFAULT. No payment or prepayment, directly or indirectly, on
account of the principal of or interest on this Note shall be made, and no
holder of this Note shall be entitled to demand or receive any such payment or
prepayment if, at the time of such payment or prepayment or immediately after
giving effect thereto, there shall have occurred any event or default under such
Senior Debt or under any agreement pursuant to which any such Senior Debt has
been or will be issued which default has not been waived or cured as of the date
on which such payment or prepayment is due.
2.3 LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, ETC. In the event of any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceeding, and any receivership, total liquidation, reorganization
or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to the Company,
or to its property, or in the event of any proceedings for voluntary
liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or not
involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then the holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of all principal (and premium, if any) and
interest on all such Senior Debt before the holders of this Note shall be
entitled to receive any payment on account of principal or interest of this
Note, and to that end (but subject to the power of a court of competent
jurisdiction to make other equitable provisions reflecting the rights conferred
by these provisions upon such Senior Debt and the holders thereof with respect
to this Note and the Holder hereof by a lawful plan or reorganization under
applicable bankruptcy law) the holders of Senior Debt (until payment in full of
all principal, premium (if any) and interest on all such Senior Debt, including
interest thereon accruing before or in respect of periods subsequent to the
commencement of any such proceedings) shall be entitled to receive for
application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or
character, whether in cash or property, or by set-off or otherwise, which may be
payable or deliverable in any such proceedings in respect of this Note
(including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable
by reason of the provisions of any indebtedness of the Company which is
subordinate and junior in right to this Note), except securities issued in such
proceedings which are the subordinate and junior in right of payment to the
payment of Senior Debt.
2.4 SUBROGATION. Subject to the payment in full of Senior Debt, the
holders of this Note shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such
Senior Debt to receive payment or distributions of assets of the Company
applicable to such Senior Debt until this Note shall be paid in full, and no
payment or distributions to the holders of such Senior Debt by or on behalf of
the Company from the proceeds that would otherwise be payable to the holder of
this Note shall, as between the Company and the holder of this Note, be deemed
to be a payment by the Company to or on account of this Note.
2.5 AMENDMENT. These provisions with respect to subordination cannot
be amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of the holder
or holders of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding; and the subordination
effected hereby shall not be affected by any amendment or modification of, or
addition or supplement to, any such Senior Debt or any instrument or agreement
relating thereto, without the prior written consent of the holder or holders of
all such Senior Debt at the time outstanding. No present or future holder of
Senior Debt shall be prejudiced in his right to enforce subordination of this
Note by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company.
2.6 BENEFIT OF SENIOR DEBT. The foregoing subordination provisions
shall be for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt and may be enforced
directly by such holders against the holder of this Note. Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to above, the holder of this Note
shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the holder of this Note, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of Senior Debt and other
Page 19
<PAGE>
indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount
or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertaining thereto or
hereto.
2.7 OBLIGATION TO PAY PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ABSOLUTE. The foregoing
provisions as to subordination are solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the holders of such Senior Debt, on the one hand, and the
holder of this Note on the other hand. Nothing contained herein is intended to
or shall impair as between the Company, its creditors, other than the holders of
Senior Debt, and the holder of this Note, the obligation of the Company, which
shall be absolute and unconditional, to pay the holder of this Note the
principal and interest on this Note as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with the terms hereof or affect the relative rights of the
holder of this Note and the creditors of the Company other than holders of
Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein prevent the Holder hereof from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default hereunder
subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt, if any, in respect of cash,
properties or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such
remedy. The Holder of this Note by acceptance hereof acknowledges and agrees
that the subordination provisions of this Section 2 are, and/or are intended to
be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt, whether
such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of this
Note, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt
and each holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on
such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in
continuing to hold, such Senior Debt. Nothing contained herein or elsewhere in
this Note shall prevent the Company from making payment of the principal of or
interest on this Note at any time except under the conditions described above.
2.8 FURTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Holder of this Note covenants and agrees
to execute such further instruments and waivers as may be necessary in the
opinion of a lender or creditor, or reasonably requested by the Company, to
facilitate the issuance or the continued holding of Senior Debt.
3. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
It shall be an Event of Default with respect to this Note upon the
occurrence and continuation uncured of any of the following events:
3.1 THIS NOTE.
(a) a default in the payment of any principal payment on this Note,
when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall
continue uncured for thirty (30) days after the day fixed for the making of such
principal payment; or
(b) a default in the payment of any interest payments on this Note,
and such default shall continue uncured for thirty (30) days after the date
fixed for the making of such interest payment; or
(c) a material default in the performance, or material breach, of any
covenant of the Company in this Note (other than a covenant or a default which
is elsewhere herein specifically dealt with as an Event or Default), and
continuance of such default or breach uncured for a period of ninety (90) days
after notice has been given to the Company of such default.
3.2 BANKRUPTCY. The entry of a decree or order by a court having
jurisdiction adjudging the Company as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a
petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in
respect of the Company, under Federal bankruptcy law, as now or hereafter
constituted, or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part
of its assets, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in
effect for a period of ninety (90) days; or the commencement by the Company of a
voluntary case under Federal bankruptcy law, as now or hereafter constituted, or
any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar
law, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or relief under Federal bankruptcy law or any other
applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law, or the
consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the
Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of
its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.
3.3 LIMITATIONS ON CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY OR ON ACCELERATION UPON AN
EVENT OF DEFAULT. Should an acceleration of the maturity of this Note be
declared as a result of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default,
absent bankruptcy, the claim of the Holder would be for the unpaid principal
amount and accrued interest of the Note. The amount that
Page 20
<PAGE>
the Holder would be able to recover from the Company under a bankruptcy or an
Event of Default, may, however, be limited by applicable law to the issued price
of this Note plus that portion of any original issue discount which has been
amortized.
4. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.
4.1 ACCELERATION. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and at
any time during the continuation thereof (unless the principal of this Note
shall already have become due and payable), the Holder, by notice in writing
given to the Company, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on this
Note then outstanding to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and be due and payable immediately, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
4.2 PROCEEDINGS AND ACTIONS. During the continuation of any one or
more Events of Default, the Holder may institute such actions or proceedings in
law or equity as it shall deem expedient for the protection of its rights, and
may prosecute and enforce its claims, against all assets of the Company and
shall be entitled to receive therefrom payment on such claims up to an amount
not exceeding the principal amount of this Note then outstanding plus accrued
interest to the date of payment plus reasonable expenses of collection,
including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses.

part, from time to time at any time after July 1, 1998, on not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days written notice. Any such redemptions shall be made at the
following prices, expressed as percentages of the principal amount being

Notes to be redeemed may be selected by lot, such manner to be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company in its sole discretion.
6. CONVERSION
6.1 CONVERSION PRIVILEGE. At any time and from time to time commencing
with the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date or (ii) the date
set for redemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 hereof, the
outstanding amount of debt of this Note is convertible at the Holder's option
into the Company's shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), upon surrender of this Note, at the Office of the Company, accompanied
by a written notice of conversion in form annexed hereto duly executed by the
registered holder or its duly authorized attorney. The outstanding indebtedness
of this Note is convertible at the option of the Holder from time to time at any
time on or after the date hereof into shares of Common Stock at a price of $4.50
per share of Common Stock (the "Conversion Price"). No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an
adjustment in cash will be made, in respect of any fraction of a share which
would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of this Note for conversion. The
Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6.3 hereof.
6.2 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. Subject to the terms of this Note, at
any time after the date hereof, upon surrender of this Note for conversion, the
Company shall issue and deliver with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the
written order of the Holder of this Note and in such name or names as such
Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full
shares of Common Stock due to such Holder upon the conversion of this Note (the
"Shares"). Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued
and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become
the Holder of record of such Shares as of the date of the surrender of this
Note; provided, however, that if, at the date of surrender the transfer books of
the Common Stock shall be closed, the certificates for the Shares shall be
issuable as of the date on which such books shall be opened and until such date
the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Shares;
provided, further, however, that such transfer books, unless otherwise required
by law or by applicable rule of any national securities exchange, shall not be
closed at any one time for a period longer than 20 days.
6.3 ADJUSTMENTS FOR DIVIDENDS, RECLASSIFICATIONS, STOCK ISSUANCES,
ETC. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.3, the Conversion Price in
effect, and accordingly, the number of shares of Common stock into which this
Note may be converted, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(a) In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other
distribution upon any stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, then the
Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the close of business
on the date of record of said dividend.
(b) If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common
Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, the Conversion
Price immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased,
and if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding Common Stock by
recapitalization, reclassification or combination thereof, the Conversion Price
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any
such
Page 22
<PAGE>
adjustment to the Conversion Price shall become effective at the close of
business on the record date for such subdivision or combination.
(c) In case the Company after the date hereof shall distribute to all
of the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock any securities or other
assets (other than a cash distribu- tion made as a dividend payable out of
earnings), the Board of Directors shall be required to make such equitable
adjustment in the Conversion Price, as in effect immediately prior to the record
date for such distribution, as may be necessary to preserve for the Holder
rights substantially proportionate to those enjoyed here- under by the Holder
immediately prior to the happening of such distribution. Any such adjustment to
the Conversion Price shall become effective at the close of business on the
record date for such distribution.
(d) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor
or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall make such appropriate
provision so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter and until the
Maturity Date to convert this Note for the kind and amount of stock, securities,
cash or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, subject to
further adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to
the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.3.
(e) If at any time after the date of issuance hereof the Company shall
grant or issue any shares of Common Stock, or grant or issue any rights or
options for the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible into,
Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein collectively
referred to as "Convertible Securities") other than:
(i) shares issued in a transaction described in subparagraph (f) of
this Section 6.3; or
(ii) shares issued, subdivided or combined in transactions described
in subparagraphs (a),(b),(c), or (d) of this Section 6.3;
for a consideration per share which is less than the Conversion Price, then the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the
"Applicable Conversion Price") shall, and thereafter upon each issuance or sale,
the Applicable Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with such issuance or
sale, be adjusted, so that such Applicable Conversion Price shall equal a price
determined by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be:
(A) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received, as
determined in accordance with subparagraph (g) below for the issuance
or sale of such additional Common Stock or Convertible Securities
deemed to be an issuance of Common Stock as provided in subparagraph
(h) below, would purchase (including any consideration received by the
Company upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities since the date the Applicable Conversion Price became
effective not previously included in any computation resulting in an
adjustment pursuant to this subparagraph (e)) at the Applicable
Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be
(B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or
deemed to be outstanding as provided in subparagraph (g)) immediately
after the issuance or sale of such additional shares.
If, however, the Applicable Conversion Price thus obtained would result in the
issuance of a lesser number of shares upon exercise than would be issued at the
initial Conversion Price specified in the first paragraph hereof, the Applicable
Price shall be such initial Conversion Price.
(f) Anything in this Paragraph 6.3 to contrary notwithstanding, no
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in connection with:
(i) the grant, issuance or exercise of any Convertible Securities
pursuant to the Company's qualified or non-qualified Employee Stock
Option Plans or any other bona fide employee benefit plan or incentive
arrangement (including, without limitation, pursuant to individual
employment agreements), previously adopted, authorized or entered into
or as may hereafter be adopted, authorized or entered into by the
Page 23
<PAGE>
Company's Board of Directors or its officers, for the benefit of the
Company's employees, consultants or directors, as any such plans,
agreements or arrangements may hereafter be amended from time to time;
and
(ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the grant
or exercise of Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date
hereof.
(g) For the purpose of subparagraph (e) above, the following
provisions shall also be applied:
(i) In case of the issuance or sale of additional shares of Common
Stock for cash, the consideration received by the Company therefor
shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company for
such shares, before deducting therefrom any commissions, compensation
or other expenses paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting
of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance or sale of such
shares.
(ii) In case of the issuance of Convertible Securities, the
consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be
the amount of cash, if any, received by the Company for the issuance
of such rights or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum amounts of
cash and fair value of other consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the exercise of such rights or options or payable to the
Company on conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(iii) In the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities for a consideration in whole or in part, other
than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the
fair market value thereof as reasonably determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company (irrespective of accounting
treatment thereof); provided, however, that if such consideration
consists of the cancellation of debt issued by the Company, the
consideration shall be deemed to be the amount the Company received
upon issuance of such debt (gross proceeds) plus accrued interest and,
in the case of original issue discount or zero coupon indebtedness,
accreted value to the date of such cancellation, but not including any
premium or discount at which the debt may then be trading or which
might otherwise be appropriate for such class of debt.
(iv) In case of the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock upon
the conversion or exchange of any obligations (other than Convertible
Securities), the amount of the consideration received by the Company
for such Common Stock shall be deemed to be the consideration received
by the Company for such obligation or shares so converted or
exchanged, before deducting from such consideration so received by the
Company any expenses or commissions or compensations incurred or paid
by the Company for any underwriting of, or otherwise in connection
with, the issuance or sale of such obligations or shares, plus any
consideration received by the Company in adjustment of interest and
dividends. If obligations or shares of the same class or series of a
class as the obligations or shares so converted or exchanged have been
originally issued for different amounts of consideration, then the
amount of consideration received by the Company upon the original
issuance of each of the obligations or shares so converted or
exchanged shall be deemed to be the average amount of the
consideration received by the Company upon the original issuance of
all such obligations or shares. The amount of consideration received
by the Company upon the original issuance of the obligations or shares
so converted or exchanged and the amount of the consideration, if any,
other than such obligations or shares received by the Company upon
such conversion or exchange shall be determined in the same manner as
provided in Paragraphs (i) through (iii) above with respect to the
consideration received by the Company in case of the issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(h) For purposes of the adjustments provided for in subparagraph (e)
above, if at any time, the Company shall issue any Convertible Securities, the
Company shall be deemed to have issued at the same time as the issuance of such
Convertible Securities the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the total amount of Convertible Securities.
(i) On the expiration, cancellation or redemption of any Convertible
Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be
readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained (a) had the
adjustments made upon the issuance or sale of such expired, cancelled or
redeemed Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of only
the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore actually delivered upon the
exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities (and the total
consideration received therefor) and (b) had all subsequent adjustments been
made only on the basis of the Conversion Price as readjusted under this
subparagraph (i) for all transactions (which would have affected such adjusted
Conversion Price) made after the issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities.
Page 24
<PAGE>
(j) Anything in this Section 6.3 to the contrary notwith- standing, no
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such Conversion Price;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (j)
are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in
making subsequent adjustments. All calculations under this Section shall be made
to the nearest cent or to the nearest tenth of a share, as the case may be.
(k) Upon any adjustment of any Conversion Price, then and in each such
case the Company shall promptly deliver a notice to the registered Holder of
this Note, which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such an
adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares
purchasable at such price upon the conversion hereof, setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based.
(l) Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to any
provisions contained in this Paragraph 6.3, the number of Shares issuable upon
conversion of this Note shall be changed accordingly.
6.4 IN CASE AT ANY TIME:
(i) The Company shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon the
Common Stock or make any distribution (other than regular cash dividends) to the
holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) The Company shall offer for subscription pro-rata to the holders
of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(iii) There shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of
the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company
with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation;
or
(iv) There shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation, or winding-up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice to
the Holder of the date on which (X) the books of the Company shall close or a
record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights,
or (Y) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall take place, as the case may be.
Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of Common Stock
of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution, or subscription
rights or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolida- tion, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the
case may be. Such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the
record date or the date on which the Company's transfer books are closed in
respect thereof. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the legality or validity of any of the matters set forth in this
paragraph.
7. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
The Holder of this Note, each transferee hereof and any Holder and
transferee of any shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible
(the "Shares"), by his acceptance thereof, agrees that (i) no public
distribution of Note or Shares will be made in violation of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amend (the "Act"), and (ii) during such period as the delivery of a
prospectus with respect to the Shares may be required by the Act, no public
distribution of the Shares will be made in a manner or on terms different from
those set forth in, or without delivery of, a prospectus then meeting the
requirements of Section 10 of the Act and in compliance with applicable state
securities laws. The Holder of this Note and each transferee hereof further
agrees that if any distribution of any Shares is proposed to be made by them
otherwise than by delivery of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section
10 of the Act, such action shall be taken only after submission to the Company
of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Company's counsel, to the effect that the proposed distribution will not be in
violation of the Act or of applicable state law. Furthermore, it shall be a
condition to the transfer of this Note that any transferee thereof deliver to
the Company his written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and
conditions contained in this Note.
This Note or the Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon
conversion of this Note may not be sold or otherwise disposed of except as
follows:
(1) To a person who, in the opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably
acceptable to the Company, is a person to whom this Note or Shares may legally
be transferred without registration and without the delivery of a current
prospectus under the Act with respect thereto and then only against receipt of
an agreement of such person to comply with the provisions of
Page 25
<PAGE>
this Section with respect to any resale or other disposition of such securities
which agreement shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and
its counsel; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any such Note,
shares or other security as to which such Holder shall have received an opinion
letter from counsel to the Company as to the exemption thereof from the
registration under the Act pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act; or
(2) To any person upon delivery of a prospectus then meeting the
requirements of the Act relating to such securities and the offering thereof for
such sale or disposition.
Each certificate for Shares issued upon conversion of this Note shall
bear a legend relating to the non-registered status of such Shares under the
Act, unless at the time of conversion of this Note such Shares are subject to a
currently effective registration statement under the Act and the Holder is not
otherwise an "affiliate," or could potentially be deemed an "affiliate," of the
Company as such term is defined in the Act.

a name other than that of the Holder in respect of which this Note is issued,
and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate for the Common Stock until the person requesting the same has paid
to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company's
satisfaction that such tax has been paid.
8.4 SHARES VALIDLY ISSUED. The Company agrees that all shares issuable
upon conversion of this Note shall be, at the time of delivery of certificates
for such shares, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable
and that the issuance of such shares will not give rise to preemptive rights in
favor of existing stockholders.
8.6 GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict
of laws principles.
8.7 NO RECOURSE. No recourse whatsoever, either directly or through

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
CERTIFICATE TO PURCHASE
______ SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
VOID AFTER 5:00 PM NEW YORK, NEW YORK LOCAL TIME ON JUNE 30, 2003
Cert. No. W-6-
This Warrant Certificate certifies that _____________________, or registered
assigns, is the registered holder ("Holder") of _______ Common Stock Purchase
Warrants ("Warrants") to purchase shares of common stock, $.01 par value per
share ("Common Stock"), of UNAPIX ENTERTAINMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"). Each Warrant enables the Holder to purchase from the Company at
any time until 5:00 p.m. New York, New York local time on June 30, 2003 one
fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (individually, a "Share" and
collectively the "Shares") upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant
Certificate and upon payment of the purchase price of $6.00 per Share (the
"Exercise Price"). Payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of
America by certified check payable to the Company. Such payment shall be made at
the principal office of the Company at _________________
___________________________. As hereinafter provided, the Exercise Price and
number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants are subject to
modification or adjustment upon the happening of certain events.
The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate were issued as part of
a Unit pursuant to a Private Placement Memo-randum, dated April 30,1996 (the
"Memorandum"),each of which consisted of: (i) a $250,000 principal amount 10%
Convertible Sub-ordinated Note of the Company due June 30, 2003; and 25,000
Warrants.
1. Upon surrender to the Company, this Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for
another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates evidencing a like aggregate
number of Warrants. If this Warrant Certificate shall be exercised in part, the
Holder shall be entitled to receive upon surrender hereof another Warrant
Certificate or Warrant Certificates evidencing the number of Warrants not
exercised.
2. No Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of Common Stock or any other
securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to
confer upon the Holder any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any
right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to
shareholders at any meeting thereof or to give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether upon any reorganization, issuance of stock,
reclassification or conversion of stock, change of par value, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings or to receive
dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until a Warrant shall have been
exercised and the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise thereof shall have
become issuable.
3. Each Holder consents and agrees with the Company and any other Holder that:
(a) this Warrant Certificate is exercisable by the Holder in person or by
attorney duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Company in
whole or in part;
Page 31
<PAGE>
(b) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the
Company be obligated to issue Warrant Certificates evidencing other than a whole
number of Warrants or issue certificates evidencing other than a whole number of
Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate; provided, however, that
the Company shall pay with respect to any such fraction of a share an amount of
cash based upon the current market value (or book value, if there shall be no
public market value for shares purchasable upon exercise hereof); and
(c) the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant
Certificate is registered as the absolute true and lawful owner hereof for all
purposes whatsoever.
4. The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of
Warrants. Upon the transfer of any Warrants, the Company shall issue and
register the Warrants in the names of the new Holders. The Warrants shall be
signed manually by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice
President and the Secretary (or Assistant Secretary) of the Company. Subject to
Paragraph 10, the Company shall transfer, from time to time, any outstanding
Warrants upon the books to be maintained by the Company for such purpose upon
surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate
instruction for transfer. Upon any transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be
issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrants shall be cancelled by the
Company. Warrants may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, when surrendered
at the office of the Company, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of
different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase a like number of Shares. Subject to the terms of this Warrant
Certificate, upon such surrender and payment of the purchase price, the Company
shall issue and deliver with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written
order of the Holder of such Warrants and in such name or names as such Holder
may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so
purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants. Such certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named
therein shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares as of
the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price;
provided, however, that if, at the date of surrender and payment, the transfer
books of the Shares shall be closed, the certificates for the Shares shall be
issuable as of the date on which such books shall be opened and until such date
the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Shares;
provided, further, however, that such transfer books, unless otherwise required
by law or by applicable rule of any national securities exchange, shall not be
closed at any one time for a period longer than 20 days. The rights of purchase
represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the
Holders, either in whole or from time to time in part (but in no event with
respect to less than 100 Shares).
5. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial
issuance of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery
of any certificates for Shares in a name other than that of the Holder in
respect of which such Shares are issued, and in such case the Company shall not
be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Shares or any Warrant until
the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or
has established to the Company's satisfaction that such tax has been paid.
6. In case the Warrant Certificate shall be mutilated, lost stolen or destroyed,
the Company may, in its discretion, issue and deliver in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or
in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate, lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an
equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and an indemnity, if requested,
also satisfactory to it.
7. There have been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved,
out of the authorized and unissued Common Stock, a number of Shares sufficient
to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this
Warrant Certificate. The Company agrees that all Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such
Shares, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.
8. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, the purchase price
and number of Shares subject to this Warrant Certificate shall be adjusted from
time to time as set forth hereinafter:
(a) In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other
distribution upon any stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, then the
Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the close of business on
the date of record of said dividend.
(b) If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock
by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, the Exercise Price
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and,
if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding Common Stock by
recapitalization, reclassification or combination
Page 32
<PAGE>
thereof, the Exercise Price immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased. Any such adjustment to the Exercise Price shall
become effective at the close of business on the record date for such
subdivision or combination.
(c) In case the Company after the date hereof shall distribute to all of
the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock any securities or other assets
(other than a cash distribution made as a dividend payable out of earnings or
out of any earned surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the
State of Delaware), the Board of Directors shall be required to make such
equitable adjustment in the Exercise Price, as in effect immediately prior to
the record date for such distribution, as may be necessary to preserve for the
Holder rights substantially proportionate to those enjoyed hereunder by the
Holder immediately prior to the happening of such distribution. Any such
adjustment to the Exercise Price shall become effective at the close of business
on the record date for such distribution.
(d) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock
of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor
or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a supplemental
Warrant Certificate providing that each Holder shall have the right thereafter
and until the expiration date to exercise a Warrant for the kind and amount of
stock, securities, cash or assets receivable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock for the purchase of which such Warrant might have been
exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale, subject to further adjustments which shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 8.
(e) If at any time after the date of issuance hereof the Company shall
grant or issue any shares of Common Stock, or grant or issue any rights or
options for the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible into,
Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein collectively
referred to as "Convertible Securities") other than:
(i) shares issued in a transaction described in subparagraph (f)
of this Paragraph 8; or
(ii) shares issued, subdivided or combined in transactions
described in subparagraphs (a),(b),(c), or (d) of this Paragraph 8;
for a consideration per share which is less than the Exercise Price, then the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the
"Applicable Exercise Price") shall, and thereafter upon each issuance or sale,
the Applicable Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with such issuance or sale,
be adjusted, so that such Applicable Exercise Price shall equal a price
determined by multiplying the Applicable Exercise Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be:
(A) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received, as
determined in accordance with subparagraph (g) below for the issuance
or sale of such additional Common Stock or Convertible Securities
deemed to be an issuance of Common Stock as provided in subparagraph
(h) below, would purchase (including any consideration received by the
Company upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities since the date the Applicable Exercise Price became
effective not previously included in any computation resulting in an
adjustment pursuant to this subparagraph (e)) at the Applicable
Exercise Price; and the denominator of which shall be
(B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or
deemed to be outstanding as provided in subparagraph (g)) immediately
after the issuance or sale of such additional shares.
If, however, the Applicable Exercise Price thus obtained would result in the
issuance of a lesser number of shares upon exercise than would be issued at the
initial Exercise Price specified in the first paragraph hereof, the Applicable
Price shall be such initial Exercise Price.
(f) Anything in this Paragraph 8 to contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment
in the Exercise Price shall be made in connection with:
(i) the grant, issuance or exercise of any Convertible Securities
pursuant to the Company's qualified or non-qualified Employee Stock
Option Plans or any other bona fide employee benefit plan or incentive
arrangement, (including, without limitation, any issuances pursuant to
individual employment
Page 33
<PAGE>
agreements) previously adopted or entered into, or as may hereafter be
adopted or entered into, by the Company's Board of Directors or its
officers, for the benefit of the Company's employees, consultants or
directors, as any such plans, agreements or arrangements may hereafter
be amended from time to time; and
(ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the grant
or exercise of Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date
hereof.
(g) For the purpose of subparagraph (e) above, the following provisions
shall also be applied:
(i) In case of the issuance or sale of additional shares of Common
Stock for cash, the consideration received by the Company therefor
shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company for
such shares, before deducting therefrom any commissions, compensation
or other expenses paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting
of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance or sale of such
shares.
(ii) In case of the issuance of Convertible Securities, the
consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be
the amount of cash, if any, received by the Company for the issuance
of such rights or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum amounts of
cash and fair value of other consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the exercise of such rights or options or payable to the
Company on conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(iii) In the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities for a consideration in whole or in part, other
than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the
fair market value thereof as reasonably determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company (irrespective of accounting
treatment thereof); provided, however, that if such consideration
consists of the cancellation of debt issued by the Company, the
consideration shall be deemed to be the amount the Company received
upon issuance of such debt (gross proceeds) plus accrued interest and,
in the case of original issue discount or zero coupon indebtedness,
accreted value to the date of such cancellation, but not including any
premium or discount at which the debt may then be trading or which
might otherwise be appropriate for such class of debt.
(iv) In case of the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock upon
the conversion or exchange of any obligations (other than Convertible
Securities), the amount of the consideration received by the Company
for such Common Stock shall be deemed to be the consideration received
by the Company for such obligation or shares so converted or
exchanged, before deducting from such consideration so received by the
Company any expenses or commissions or compensations incurred or paid
by the Company for any underwriting of, or otherwise in connection
with, the issuance or sale of such obligations or shares, plus any
consideration received by the Company in adjustment of interest and
dividends. If obligations or shares of the same class or series of a
class as the obligations or shares so converted or exchanged have been
originally issued for different amounts of consideration, then the
amount of consideration received by the Company upon the original
issuance of each of the obligations or shares so converted or
exchanged shall be deemed to be the average amount of the
consideration received by the Company upon the original issuance of
all such obligations or shares. The amount of consideration received
by the Company upon the original issuance of the obligations or shares
so converted or exchanged and the amount of the consideration, if any,
other than such obligations or shares received by the Company upon
such conversion or exchange shall be determined in the same manner as
provided in Paragraphs (i) through (iii) above with respect to the
consideration received by the Company in case of the issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(h) For purposes of the adjustments provided for in subparagraph (e) above,
if at any time, the Company shall issue any Convertible Securities, the Company
shall be deemed to have issued at the same time as the issuance of such
Convertible Securities the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the total amount of Convertible Securities.
(i) On the expiration, cancellation or redemption of any Convertible
Securities, the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be
readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have been obtained (a) had the
adjustments made upon the issuance or sale of such expired, cancelled or
redeemed Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of only
the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore actually delivered upon the
exercise or conversion of such
Page 34
<PAGE>
Convertible Securities (and the total consideration received therefor) and (b)
had all subsequent adjustments been made only on the basis of the Exercise Price
as readjusted under this subparagraph (i) for all transactions (which would have
affected such adjusted Exercise Price) made after the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities.
(j) Anything in this Paragraph 8 to the contrary notwith- standing, no
adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such Exercise Price; provided,
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (j) are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in making
subsequent adjustments. All calculations under this Paragraph shall be made to
the nearest cent or to the nearest tenth of a share, as the case may be.
(k) Upon any adjustment of any Exercise Price, then and in each such case
the Company shall promptly deliver a notice to the registered Holder of this
Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares
purchasable at such price upon the exercise hereof, setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is
based.
(l) Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to any provisions
contained in this Paragraph 8, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be changed to the number of shares determined by dividing (i)
the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchase of all Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the
Exercise Price per Share in effect immediately after such adjustment.
9. In case at any time:
(i) The Company shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon the Common
Stock or make any distribution (other than regular cash dividends) to the
holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) The Company shall offer for subscription pro-rata to the holders of
the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other
rights;
(iii) There shall be any capital reorganization or reclassi- fication of
the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company
with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation; or
(iv) There shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or
winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice to
the Holder of the date on which (X) the books of the Company shall close or a
record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights,
or (Y) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall take place, as the case may be.
Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of Common Stock
of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution, or subscription
rights or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, as the
case may be. Such notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to the record
date or the date on which the Company's transfer books are closed in respect
thereof. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect
the legality or validity of any of the matters set forth in this paragraph.
10. (a) The Holder of this Warrant Certificate, each transferee hereof and any
holder and transferee of any Shares, by his or its acceptance thereof, agrees
that (i) no public distribution of Warrants or Shares will be made in violation
of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), and (ii) during such period as the
delivery of a prospectus with respect to Warrants or Shares may be required by
the Act, no public distribution of Warrants or Shares will be made in a manner
or on terms different from those set forth in, or without delivery of, a
prospectus then meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act and in
compliance with all applicable state securities laws. The Holder of this Warrant
Certificate and each transferee hereof further agrees that if any distribution
of any of the Warrants or Shares is proposed to be made by them otherwise than
by delivery of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act,
such action shall be taken only after submission to the Company of an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel,
to the effect that the proposed distribution will not be in violation of the Act
or of applicable state law. Furthermore, it shall be a condition to the transfer
of the Warrants that any transferee thereof deliver to the Company his or its
written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions
contained in this Warrant Certificate.
(b) This Warrant or the Shares or any other security issued or issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant may not be sold or otherwise disposed of except as
follows:
Page 35
<PAGE>
(1) To a person who, in the opinion of counsel for the Holder
reasonably acceptable to the Company, is a person to whom this Warrant or
Shares may legally be transferred without registration and without the
delivery of a current prospectus under the Act with respect thereto and
then only against receipt of an agreement of such person to comply with the
provisions of this Section (1) with respect to any resale or other
disposition of such securities which agreement shall be satisfactory in
form and substance to the Company and its counsel; provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to any such Warrant, Shares or other security as
to which such Holder shall have received an opinion letter from counsel to
the Company as to the exemption thereof from the registration under the Act
pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act; or
(2) To any person upon delivery of a prospectus then meeting the
requirements of the Act relating to such securities and the offering
thereof for such sale or disposition.
(c) Each certificate for Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall
bear a legend relating to the non-registered status of such Shares under the
Act, unless at the time of exercise of this Warrant such Shares are subject to a
currently effective registration statement under the Act.
11. (a) The Warrants represented by this Certificate may be redeemed (as a whole
at any time or in part from time to time) on not less than thirty (30) days'
notice, at any time after June 30, 1998, at a redemption price of $.025 per
Warrant, provided the average "Market Price" (as hereinafter defined) of the
Common Stock, receivable upon exercise of such Warrants, over 20 consecutive
trading days has been at least 150% of the then effective Exercise Price (the 20
consecutive trading day period referred to as the "Measurement Period").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to redeem any
of the Warrants represented by this Certificate, unless the Shares into which
the Warrants are exercisable have been registered under the Act, at all times
during the applicable Measurement Period and shall continue to be so registered
at all times between the date on which the notice of redemption is given and the
"Redemption Date" (as hereinafter defined). For purposes hereof, "Market Price"
shall mean with respect to each trading day the greater of (i) the closing sales
price of the Common Stock reported on the American Stock Exchange, or if
different, the primary securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded,
or for any day on which there is no closing sales price so reported, then the
closing bid price for such day; and (ii) the closing sales price of the Common
Stock as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Automated Quotation System, if any, or for any day on which there is no closing
sales price so reported, then the closing bid price for such day, if any.
(b) In the event the Company shall elect to redeem all or any part of the
Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for redemption (the "Redemption Date").
Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by
the Company not less than 30 days from the date fixed for redemption to the
registered holder of this Warrant Certificate at its last address as it shall
appear on the Company's Warrant registry books. Any notice mailed in the manner
herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the
Holder receives such notice. Any right to exercise a Warrant being redeemed
shall terminate at 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the business day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date.
(c) From and after the date specified for redemption, the Company shall, at
the place specified in the notice of redemption, upon presentation and surrender
of this certificate to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder thereof,
deliver or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder a
sum in cash equal to the redemption price of each Warrant being redeemed. From
and after the date fixed for redemption, such Warrants shall expire and become
void and all rights hereunder with respect thereto, except the right to receive
payment of the redemption price, shall cease.
(d) If less than all of the Common Stock purchase warrants sold in the
private placement pursuant to the Memorandum are called for redemption by the
Company, the particular Common Stock purchase warrants to be redeemed shall be
selected at random by the Company in such manner as the Company in its
discretion may deem fair and appropriate. If there shall be drawn for redemption
less than all of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, the
Company shall execute and deliver, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate,
without charge to the Holder, a new Warrant Certificate representing the number
of Warrants not being redeemed.
12. (a) This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of
laws principles.
(b) This Warrant Certificate constitutes and expresses the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and
understandings, inducements or conditions whether express or implied, oral or
written. Neither this Warrant Certificate nor any portion or provision hereof
may be changed, waived or amended orally or any manner other than by an
agreement in writing signed by the Holder and the Company.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant Certificate, all notices,
requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this
Warrant Certificate or by law shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given, made and received only when delivered against receipt or when
deposited in the United States mails, certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
Company: Unapix Entertainment, Inc.
Holder: At the address shown for the
Holder in the registration
books maintained by the
Company.
(d) If any provision of this Warrant Certificate is prohibited by or is
unlawful or unenforceable under any applicable law of any jurisdiction, such
provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be in effect to the extent of such
prohibition without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof; provided,
however, that any such prohibition in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction; and provided, further that where the
provisions of any such applicable law may be waived, that they hereby are waived
by the Company and the Holder to the full extent permitted by law and to the end
that this Warrant instrument shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement
in accordance with its terms.

Dear Mr. Pearlman:
