INTERACTIVE MOTORSPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
No. 1 Dated: December 31, 2004
Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corporation, an
Indiana
corporation (the "Company," which term includes any corporation
which shall
succeed to or assume the obligations of the Company hereunder),
for value
received, hereby certifies that Dolphin Direct Equity Partners,
LP, a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Purchaser"), and its registered
successors and
permitted assigns (each such successor and assignee, together
with the
Purchaser, the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the
Company up to an
aggregate number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per
share, of the Company
("Common Stock") equal to the Warrant Shares Amount at a
purchase price per
share (the "Warrant Price") equal to $0.10, subject to the
terms, conditions and
adjustments set forth below. This Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(this "Warrant,"
which term includes all other Common Stock Purchase Warrants
issued in
substitution therefor) is being issued to the Purchaser in
connection with the
Asset Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant
and not
otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 15 hereof.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1 Time and Manner of Exercise.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at
any time,
and from time to time, following the date hereof up until 11:59
p.m., New York
time, on the fifth (5th)anniversary of the date hereof (such
time and date, the
"Expiration Date").
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this
Warrant may
be exercised by the Holder, to the extent then exercisable, in
whole or in part,
during normal business hours on any Business Day, by surrender
of this Warrant
to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by a
subscription in
substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A
duly executed by
the Holder and
<PAGE>
accompanied by payment, by check payable to the order of the
Company or by wire
transfer to such account of the Company as the Company shall
direct, in the
amount obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock
designated in such subscription (up to the amount of shares to
which the Holder
is entitled to receive at such time upon exercise of this
Warrant) by (ii) the
Warrant Price, and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to
receive the full
number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares
of Common Stock so purchased upon such exercise.
(c) Alternatively, this Warrant may be exercised in the manner
set forth in
the preceding paragraph by surrendering this Warrant in exchange
for such number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number
of shares of
Common Stock as to which this Warrant is being exercised,
multiplied by (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Market Price (as defined
below) of a
share of Common Stock minus the Warrant Price and the
denominator of which is
the Market Price for a share of Common Stock (a "Cashless
Exercise"). Solely for
the purposes of this Section 1, the "Market Price" shall be
calculated either
(A) on the date on which the form of subscription attached
hereto is deemed to
have been given to the Company (the "Notice Date") or (B) as the
average of the
Market Price for each of the five trading days immediately
preceding the Notice
Date, whichever of (A) or (B) results in a greater Market Price;
provided,
however, that a Cashless Exercise may only be employed by the
Holder if the
Common Stock shall then be publicly quoted in the manner
contemplated in the
next sentence. As used herein, the phrase "Market Price" at any
date shall be
deemed to be the last reported sale price, or, in case no such
reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale
prices for the
last three trading days, in either case as officially reported
by the principal
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or
admitted to trading,
or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on
any national
securities exchange, the average closing sale price as furnished
by the NASD
through The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") or by the OTC
Electronic
Bulletin Board or similar organization if Nasdaq is no longer
reporting such
information or if the Common Stock is not publicly quoted, as
determined in good
faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company,
based on the best
information available to it.
1.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall
be deemed
to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business
on the Business
Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the
Company as provided
in Section 1.1 hereof. At such time, the Person or Persons, in
whose name or
names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock
shall be
issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.3 hereof,
shall be deemed
to have become the Holder or Holders of record thereof.
1.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc. As soon as practicable
after each
exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event
within five
Business Days thereafter, the Company, at its expense (including
the payment by
it of any applicable issue taxes), will cause to be issued in
the name of, and
delivered to, the Holder or as such Holder (upon payment by such
Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct,
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly
authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock to which
such Holder shall be entitled upon
<PAGE>
such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which
such Holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined in
accordance with the
provisions of Section 4 hereof, and
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant of like
tenor,
calling in the aggregate on the face thereof for the number of
shares of Common
Stock equal to the number of such shares which such Holder would
be entitled to
receive at such time upon exercise of this Warrant, after giving
effect to such
recent exercise.
2. Adjustments.
2.1 Change in Warrant Shares Amount and Warrant Price. The
Warrant Shares
Amount and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as
follows:
(a) The "Warrant Shares Amount" shall initially equal
5,161,500.
(b) In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall
(i) take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to
receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, its
Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of any class or series of
Common Stock into a
larger number of any class or series of shares of Common Stock,
or (iii) combine
its outstanding shares of any class or series of Common Stock
into a smaller
number of shares of any class or series of Common Stock, or (iv)
increase or
decrease the number of shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the
Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection
with a merger,
consolidation or other business combination in which the Company
is the
surviving corporation), then in each instance (A) the Warrant
Shares Amount in
effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or
the effective
date of such subdivision or combination shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of
this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive the kind
and number of
shares of Common Stock that the Holder would have owned or have
been entitled to
receive after the happening of any of the events described
above, had this
Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of
such event or any
record date with respect thereto and (B) the Warrant Price shall
be adjusted so
that the aggregate amount payable by the Holder to the Company
upon exercise of
this Warrant in full immediately prior to such event shall equal
the aggregate
amount payable by the Holder to the Company upon exercise of
this Warrant in
full immediately after such event. An adjustment made pursuant
to this Section
2.1(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective
date of such
event.
(c) Except as provided herein, if the Company shall consolidate
or merge
with another corporation, and the Company is the surviving
corporation, then the
Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive upon
exercise of this
Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock and other property
that such
Holder would have been entitled to receive upon or as a result
of such
consolidation or merger had this Warrant been exercisable and
exercised
immediately prior to such event.
(d) The adjustments required by the preceding subsections of
this Section
2.1 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an
<PAGE>
adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any
specified event
shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the
date of its
occurrence.
(e) In computing adjustments under this Section 2, fractional
interests in
Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest
one-thousandth of a
share.
(f) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or
distribution or
subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before
the
distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan
to pay or deliver
such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights,
then thereafter no
adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such
record and any such
adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded
and annulled.
2.2 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Warrant Shares Amount is
adjusted,
as provided in Section 2.1, the Company shall promptly mail to
the Holder
written notice of such adjustment or adjustments and shall
deliver to the Holder
a certificate of the chief executive officer or chief financial
officer of the
Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable, and the
Warrant Price payable, upon the exercise of this Warrant after
such adjustment,
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment and
setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made;
provided that
in the case of any increase in the Warrant Shares Amount
pursuant to Section
2.1(a), such written notice of such adjustment and related
officer's certificate
shall be delivered to the Holder within five (5) Business Days
following the end
of the month with respect to which such adjustment occurred.
2.3 Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case the Company
shall propose
(a) to pay any dividend payable in securities of any class to
the holders of the
Common Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of
the Common
Stock, or (b) to offer the holders of the Common Stock rights to
subscribe for
or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common
Stock or shares
of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or
options, or (c) to
effect any capital reorganization, consolidation or merger,
then, in each such
case, the Company shall give the Holders of this Warrant a
written notice of
such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a
record is to be
taken for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights,
or the date
such issuance is to take place and the date of participation
therein by the
holders of Common Stock, if any, is to be fixed, and shall be
reasonably
necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common
Stock and the
number and kind of any other shares of stock and other property,
if any, after
giving effect to any adjustment which will be required as a
result of such
action. Such notice shall be so given in the case of any action
covered by
clause (a) or (b) above at least ten (10) days prior to the
record date for
determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such
action and, in the
case of any other such action, at least twenty (20) Business
Days prior to the
date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of
participation therein
by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the
earlier.
2.4 Statement on Warrant Certificates. Irrespective of any
adjustment in
the number or kind of shares issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, Warrant
certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to
express the same
number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrant
certificates initially
issued.
<PAGE>
2.5 Notice to Holders of Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding
Up.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that,
at any time after
the date hereof and prior to the expiration of this Warrant and
the termination
of the rights of the Holder, there shall be a voluntary or
involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then the
Company shall
mail to the Holder at the earliest practicable time (and, in any
event, not less
than ten (10) days before any date set for definitive action)
written notice of
the date on which such 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 the shares of record of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this
Warrant shall be entitled to exchange their shares for
securities, money or
other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up, as
the case may be, on which date the Holder shall be entitled to
receive upon
surrender of this Warrant, the cash or other property that the
Holder would have
been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercisable and
exercised
immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation or winding up
and any and all
rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant shall terminate.
In case of any
such voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the
Company, the Company shall, after receipt of the surrendered
Warrant, make
payment in appropriate amount to such Person or Persons as it
may be directed in
writing by the Holder surrendering the Warrant.
3. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment
of its
certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation,
merger,
reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist
in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as
may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the rights of the
holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.
Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit
the par value
of any share of stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant to exceed the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and (b) will take
all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate (including, without limitation,
making
appropriate transfers from the Company's additional paid-in
capital to its
stated capital) in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise
of this Warrant.
4. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to
issue
fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant. If any
fraction of shares of Common Stock would be issuable upon the
exercise of this
Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an
amount in cash
equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by
the Company's
Board of Directors) of one (1) share of Common Stock on the
Business Day
immediately preceding the date this Warrant is presented for
exercise,
multiplied by such fraction.
5. Reservation of Stock, Etc. The Company shall at all times
reserve and
keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise
of this Warrant,
the number of shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable
upon full
exercise of this Warrant. All shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such
exercise, shall
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable with no
liability on the part of
the holder thereof.

6. Registration and Transfer of Warrants, Etc.
6.1 Restrictions on Transfer of Warrants and Common Stock. This
Warrant and
the Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof may not be sold,
transferred or
otherwise disposed of unless registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or
pursuant to
available exemptions from such registration, provided that the
seller, if
requested by Company, delivers to the Company an opinion of
counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company confirming the availability of such
exemption.
Unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof
have been
registered under the Securities Act, upon exercise of this
Warrant and the

the Company shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except that, if
and when this
Warrant is accompanied by an instrument of assignment in
substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B, the Company may (but shall not be
obligated to)
treat the bearer thereof as the owner of this Warrant for all
purposes. This
Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder

Warrant first having been issued.
6.3 Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. Upon surrender of this
Warrant for
registration of transfer or for exchange to the Company at its
principal office,

may direct,
calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of shares
of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant
or Warrants so
surrendered.
6.4 Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of
this Warrant, and upon delivery to the Company of an indemnity
agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Company at its expense
shall execute
and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

7. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of
the Holder
of this Warrant, in the event of any default or threatened
default by the
Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the
terms of this
Warrant, are not and will not be adequate and that, to the
fullest extent
permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a
