STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Date of Issuance: May 1, 1998 Certificate No. 3
For value received, CHADMOORE WIRELESS GROUP, INC., a Colorado
corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to RECOVERY EQUITY INVESTORS II,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or its registered assigns (the "Registered
Holder"), the right to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to
time during the Exercise Period, 10,119,614 Warrant Shares at the Exercise
Price. This Warrant is issued to REI on the Date of Issuance pursuant to the
Investment Agreement. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares (and the
amount and kind of other securities) for which this Warrant is exercisable shall
be subject to adjustment as provided herein. Certain capitalized terms used
herein are defined in Section 5 hereof.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:
SECTION 1. Exercise of Warrant.
1A. Exercise Period. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, commencing
on the Date of
Issuance through 5:00 p.m., Nevada time, on October 31, 2003, or, if such day is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the "Exercise Period").
1B. Exercise Procedure.
(i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when all
of the following items have been delivered to the Company (the "Exercise Time"):
(a) a completed Exercise Agreement, as described in
Section 1C below, executed by the Person exercising all or part of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant (the "Purchaser"); provided,
however, that such exercise is for not less than the lesser of 1,000,000
Warrant Shares or the number of Warrant Shares remaining hereunder.
(b) this Warrant;
(c) if the Purchaser is not the Registered Holder, an
Assignment or Assignments in the form set forth in Exhibit II hereto
evidencing the assignment of this Warrant to the Purchaser; and
(d) either (i) a check or wire transfer payable to the
Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise (the
"Aggregate Exercise Price") or (ii) the surrender to the Company of debt
or other obligations of the Company or any of its direct or indirect
subsidiaries having a value equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price of the
Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise.
(ii) Certificates for Warrant Shares (including, without
limitation, fractional shares) purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
delivered by the Company to the Purchaser within three Business Days after the
date of the Exercise Time. Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the
purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company shall
prepare a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the rights
formerly represented by this Warrant which have not expired or been exercised
and shall, within such three Business Day period, deliver such new Warrant to
the Person designated for delivery in the Exercise Agreement.
(iii) The Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser at the Exercise
Time, and the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the
Registered Holder of such Warrant Shares at the Exercise Time.
(iv) The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder
or the Purchaser for any issuance
2
tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with
such exercise and the related issuance of Warrant Shares; 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 of any Warrants or
any certificates representing Warrant Shares in a name other than that of a
Registered Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
such Warrant or certificate for Warrant Shares unless and until the Person
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of
such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company
that such tax has been paid.
(v) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of
this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this
Warrant. The Company shall from time to time take all such action as may be
necessary to assure that the par value per share, if any, of the unissued
Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant is at all times equal to
or less than the Exercise Price then in effect. In the event that the Company
fails to comply with its obligations set forth in the foregoing sentence, in
addition to all other rights which the Registered Holder or Purchaser may have
at law or in equity, the Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) purchase
Warrant Shares hereunder at par value, and the Company shall be obligated to
reimburse the Purchaser for the aggregate amount of consideration paid in
connection with such exercise in excess of the Exercise Price then in effect.
(vi) The Company shall assist and cooperate with any reasonable
request by the Registered Holder or Purchaser in connection with any
governmental filings or approvals required to be obtained or made by any of them
prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant (including, without
limitation, making any filings or obtaining any approvals required to be made or
obtained by the Company).
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise
of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public
offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, sale of
assets or otherwise), then such exercise may at the election of the Registered
Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case
such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the
consummation of such transaction.
(viii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available
out of its authorized but unissued Warrant Shares and solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares which are so
issuable shall, when issued and upon the payment of the applicable Exercise
Price, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges. The Company shall take all such actions as may be
necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares may be so issued without
violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any
requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common
Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares
3
may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately
delivered by the Company upon each such issuance) or any violation by the
Company of any agreement to which the Company or any of its assets or properties
may be subject. The Company will cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such
exercise, to be listed on each domestic securities exchange or quotation system
upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant
Shares are listed or quoted at the time of such exercise.
(ix) If the Warrant Shares issuable by reason of exercise of this
Warrant are convertible into or exchangeable for any other stock or securities,
then the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and upon surrender of this
Warrant by such Purchaser as provided above together with any notice, statement
or payment required to effect such conversion or exchange of Warrant Shares,
deliver to such Purchaser (or as otherwise specified by such Purchaser) a
certificate or certificates representing the stock or securities into which the
Warrant Shares issuable by reason of such conversion are convertible or
exchangeable, registered in such name or names and in such denomination or
denominations as such Purchaser has specified.
1C. Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Purchaser
shall deliver to the Company an Exercise Agreement in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit I hereto, except that if the Warrant Shares are not to be
issued in the name of the Registered Holder, the Exercise Agreement shall also
state the name of the Person to whom the certificates for the Warrant Shares are
to be issued, and if the number of Warrant Shares to be issued does not include
all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, it shall also state the name of
the Person to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the rights
hereunder is to be issued.
SECTION 2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. In order
to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2,
and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time, as provided in this Section 2.
2A. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of
Common Stock. If and whenever, on or after the Date of Issuance, either (x) the
Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 2B is deemed to have
issued or sold, other than pursuant to a Permitted Issuance, other than upon the
exercise, exchange or conversion of Floating Price Securities and other than
pursuant to an event for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 2C, any
shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, or (y) the Company
issues or sells any shares of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion
of any Floating Price Securities for a consideration per share less than the
Deemed Issue Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then
immediately upon such issuance or sale (A) the Exercise Price shall be reduced
to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which
will be the sum of (1) the number of shares
4
of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale
multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or
sale, plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such
issuance or sale, and the denominator of which will be the product derived by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or
sale by the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately
after such issuance or sale and (B) in the case of an issuance described in (y)
above, the Deemed Issue Price shall be reduced in a manner proportional to the
reduction to the Exercise Price pursuant to clause (A) above. Upon each such
adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to equal the number
of shares determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares acquirable (whether or
not then acquirable or subject to a contingency) upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. For purposes of this Section 2,
the calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding shall
exclude the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
2B. Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 2A, the following shall be
applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner
grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase (including, without
limitation, the issuance of any notes or other debt instruments convertible into
or payable in) Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation convertible common
stock) (such rights or options being herein called "Options" and such
convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible
Securities") other than a Permitted Issuance, and the price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then the total maximum number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon
conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per
share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities" is determined by dividing (A) the total amount,
if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting
of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration
payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus in the case
of such Options which are exercisable for Convertible Securities, the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company
upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or
exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. No
further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of
5
such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (A) the total amount
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange
thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if
any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise
of any Options for which adjustment of the Exercise Price has been or is to be
made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2B, no further adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If either the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than with
respect to Options or Convertible Securities constituting Floating Price
Securities which are the subject of 2A(y)), the Exercise Price in effect at the
time of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have
been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still
outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration
or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares shall be correspondingly
readjusted; provided, that no readjustment shall be made pursuant to this clause
(iii) in respect of any Warrant Shares which have been issued on or prior to the
occurrence of any action otherwise requiring such readjustment.
(iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible
Securities. Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to
convert or exchange any Convertible Securities, in either case without the
exercise of such Option or right, the Exercise Price then in effect and the
number of Warrant Shares acquirable hereunder (whether or not then acquirable or
subject to a contingency) shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and number of
Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or
termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent not
exercised in full and outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or
termination, never been issued; provided, that no
6
readjustment shall be made under this clause (iv) in respect of any Warrant
Shares which have been issued on or prior to such expiration or termination.
(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to
be the net amount received by the Company therefor. In case any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the
Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such
consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of
consideration received by the Company shall be the market price thereof as of
the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any
merger or other business combination in which the Company is the surviving
entity, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair
value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity
as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as
the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or
marketable securities shall be determined jointly by the Company and the
Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within a
reasonable period of time, such fair value shall be determined by an independent
investment banking or appraisal firm jointly selected by the Company and the
Required Holders, whose determination shall be final and binding on the Company
and the Registered Holder. If the Required Holders and the Company are unable to
agree upon an independent investment banking or appraisal firm, then the
Required Holders shall select one such independent investment banking or
appraisal firm and the Company shall select another such firm, and the
calculation of fair value shall be made by a third independent investment
banking or appraisal firm that has been selected by the two firms so chosen by
the Required Holders and the Company. In each such case, the firm calculating
fair value shall submit to the Company and to each Registered Holder such firm's
written opinion addressed to each such Registered Holder setting forth such
determination of fair value. If the independent investment banking or appraisal
firm gives a range for its calculation of fair value, then fair value for
purposes of this paragraph shall be the midpoint of such range. The fees and
expenses of such firm shall be paid by the Company.
(vi) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in
connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Option shall be deemed to
have been issued for no consideration.
(vii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for
the account of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company
and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue
or sale of Common Stock.
7
(viii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders
of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or
(B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
2C. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any
time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) the Common Stock into a greater number of shares or pays a dividend
or makes a distribution to holders of the Common Stock in the form of shares of
Common Stock, then the Exercise Price and Deemed Issue Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the
number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant (whether or
not then acquirable or subject to a contingency), as the case may be, shall be
proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock
split or otherwise) the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the
Exercise Price and Deemed Issue Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant (whether or not then acquirable or
subject to a contingency), as the case may be, shall be proportionately
decreased.
2D. Organic Change. Any recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets or other transaction which is effected in such a way that
holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon
subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an "Organic Change". Prior to
the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate
provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required
Holders) to ensure that such Registered Holder shall thereafter have the right
to acquire and receive upon exercise thereof, in lieu of or addition to (as the
case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and
receivable upon exercise of such Registered Holder's Warrants (whether or not
then acquirable or subject to a contingency), such shares of stock, securities
or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the
number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable
(whether or not then acquirable or subject to a contingency) upon exercise of
such Registered Holder's Warrants had such Organic Change not taken place. In
any such case, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and
substance satisfactory to the Required Holders) with respect to such Registered
Holder's rights and interests to insure that the provisions hereof (including,
without limitation, Sections 2, 3 and 4) shall thereafter be applicable to the
Warrants (including, without limitation, in the case of any such Organic Change
in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Company, an
immediate adjustment of the Exercise Price to the product of the Exercise Price
immediately prior to such Organic Change multiplied by the ratio of such value
of the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Organic Change divided by the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in effect immediately prior to
8
such Organic Change and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of
Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants (whether
or not then acquirable or subject to a contingency), if the value so reflected
is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in effect immediately
prior to such Organic Change). The Company shall not effect any such Organic
Change unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other
than the Company) resulting from such Organic Change (including a purchaser of
all or substantially all the Company's assets) assumes by written instrument (in
form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders) the obligation to
deliver to such Registered Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as,
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Registered Holder may be
entitled to acquire upon exercise of Warrants.
2E. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the
provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights,
phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features but excluding any
Permitted Issuance), then the Company's Board of Directors shall make an
appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price, the Deemed Issue Price and the
number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant (whether or
not then acquirable or subject to a contingency) so as to protect the rights of
the Registered Holder of this Warrant; provided that no such adjustment shall
increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise hereof other than as a readjustment in a manner consistent with
that contemplated by Section 2(B)(iv).
2F. Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, the
Company shall give written notice thereof to the Registered Holder, setting
forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.
(ii) The Company shall give written notice to the Registered
Holder at least 30 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books
or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the
Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of
Common Stock, or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation.
(iii) The Company shall also give written notice to the
Registered Holder at least 30 days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place.
SECTION 3. Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or
sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants,
securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of the Common Stock
(the "Purchase Rights"), then the Registered Holder shall be entitled to
acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate
Purchase Rights which such Registered
9
Holder would have acquired if such Registered Holder had held the maximum number
of Warrant Shares acquirable (whether or not then acquirable or subject to a
contingency) upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date
on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase
Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders
of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such
Purchase Rights.
SECTION 4. Definitions. The following terms have the meanings set forth

in the Investment Agreement:

limitation as to amount, after payment on any securities entitled to a
preference on dividends or other distributions upon any dissolution or winding
up, either to all or to a share of the balance of payments upon such

Warrant.
"Convertible Securities" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section
2B(i).
"Date of Issuance" means May 1, 1998 the Company initially issues this
Warrant regardless of the number of times new certificates representing the

of determination either (x) the Common Stock is not registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and either listed
on a national securities exchange or authorized for quotation in the Nasdaq
National Market, or (y) less than 25% of the outstanding Common Stock is held by
the public free of transfer restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as

transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller, using valuation
techniques then prevailing in the securities industry and assuming full
disclosure of all relevant information and a reasonable period of time for

calculating Fair Market Value for purposes of this Warrant, then, such value
shall be determined by an independent investment banking or appraisal firm
mutually acceptable to the Company and the Required Holders. If the Required
Holders and the Company are unable to agree upon an independent investment
banking or appraisal firm, then the Required Holders
11
shall select one such independent investment banking or appraisal firm and the
Company shall select another such firm, and the calculation of Fair Market Value
shall be made by a third such independent investment banking or appraisal firm
that has been selected by the two firms so chosen by the Required Holders and
the Company. In each such case, the firm calculating Fair Market Value shall
submit to the Company and each Registered Holder such firm's written opinion
addressed to each such Registered Holder setting forth such determination. If
the independent investment banking or appraisal firm gives a range for its
calculation of Fair Market Value, then Fair Market Value shall be the midpoint
of such range. The fees and expenses of such firm will be borne by the Company,
and the determination of such firm will be final and binding upon all parties.
"Floating Price Securities" means the Securities listed in Section 2 of
Attachment A hereto and any other agreement, instrument, document or

is either obligated or permitted to issue shares of Common Stock.
"Fully Diluted Basis" means, with respect to the calculation of the
number of shares of Common Stock, as of each date of determination thereof, the
