This certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, VINA
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), grants to ________
(the "Warrantholder"), the right to subscribe for and purchase from the Company
the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares (the "Warrant
Shares") of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), specified in Section 1.1 hereof, at the purchase price per share (the
"Exercise Price") set forth in Section 1.3 hereof, exercisable at any time and
from time to time during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing on the
date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the date hereof, unless
terminated earlier pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof, all subject to the terms,
conditions and adjustments herein set forth. See Section 8 for definitions of
certain terms used herein.
This Warrant is one of the Warrants issued pursuant to Section 1.1 of that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October __, 2001 among the
Company and the persons referred to therein (the "Purchase Agreement").
1. Number of Warrant Shares; Duration and Exercise of Warrant;
Determination of Exercise Price; Payment of Taxes.
1.1 Number of Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall enable the Warrantholder
to purchase __________________ (___________) shares of Common Stock, subject to
the provisions of Section 6 hereof.
1.2 Duration and Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Warrantholder by (i) the
surrender of this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking or other form of
security reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Warrant in
the case of its loss, theft or destruction) to the Company, with a duly executed
Exercise Form specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, during
normal business hours on any Business Day during the Exercise Period and (ii)
the delivery of payment to the Company, for the account of the Company, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the
Company, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the
Exercise Form in lawful money of the United States of America (the "Aggregate
Exercise Price"). In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant in compliance with this Section 1.2(a), the Company shall, or shall
cause its transfer agent to, within two (2) Business Days of the Company's
receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification
undertaking or other form of security reasonably satisfactory to the Company
with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction)
either (A) at the Warrantholder's request, credit such aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Warrantholder shall be entitled upon such
exercise to the holder's or its designee's balance account with The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system,
provided that (i) Transfer Agent is participating in DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, (ii) the Warrantholder is eligible to receive
shares through DTC, and (iii) the certificates for the Common Stock do not bear
a legend thereon, or (B) issue and deliver to the address as specified in the
Exercise Form, a certificate or certificates in such denominations as may be
requested by the holder in the Exercise Form, registered in the name of the
Warrantholder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
the Warrantholder shall be entitled upon such exercise. Upon delivery of the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant shall be
deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time
of delivery of the stock certificate or certificates, deliver to the
Warrantholder a new Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining
Warrant Shares, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with
this Warrant. No adjustments shall be made on Warrant Shares issuable on the
exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable to holders of
record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the Warrantholder shall be
deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares.
(b) Penalties. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to
issue to the Warrantholder within seven (7) Business Days of the receipt of the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (the "Delivery Date") as set forth in
Section 1.2(a) above a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which the holder is entitled upon such exercise or to credit the holder's
balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the
holder is entitled upon the holder's exercise of this Warrant or a new Warrant
for the remaining Warrant Shares, the Company shall, in addition to any other
remedies under this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to
such holder, including any indemnification under Section 7.13 of the Purchase
Agreement, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day after
the Delivery Date such exercise is not timely effected and/or each day after the
Delivery Date such Warrant is not delivered, as the case may be, in an amount
equal to .5% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock not issued to the holder on or prior to the Delivery Date and to which
such holder is entitled and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a
Warrant to the holder on or prior to the Delivery Date, the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as of the Delivery Date and
(II) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the Delivery Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the damages set forth in this Section 1.2(b)
shall be stayed with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock and, if
applicable, this Warrant for which there is a good faith dispute pending the
resolution of such dispute.
1.3 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be $1.00 per share of Common
Stock, subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof.
1.4 Payment of Taxes. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall
be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any stock transfer or other
issuance tax in respect thereto; provided, however, that the Warrantholder shall
be required to pay any and all taxes which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name
other than that of the then Warrantholder as reflected upon the books of the
Company or an affiliate of the Warrantholder.
1.5 Early Termination.
(a) Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the
event the average Closing Bid Price per share of the Common Stock for twenty
(20) Trading Days (the "Twenty Day Closing Average") during a period of thirty
(30) consecutive Trading Days equals or exceeds $2.00 per share (the
"Termination Event"), this Warrant shall cease to be exercisable and all rights
of the Warrantholder hereunder shall terminate within ten (10) Business Days
following receipt of the notice of the Termination Event ("Termination Notice")
by the Warrantholder from the Company; provided, however, if, for any reason
other than as a result of a breach of the Warrantholder's obligations under this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, (i) a registration statement covering the
Warrant Shares is not then effective or has been suspended or subject to a stop
order and the Warrant Shares may not then be sold without volume limitations
under an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) the
trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market has been suspended, then
this Warrant shall not cease to be exercisable until the tenth Business Day
following the Termination Event that the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and
(ii) cease to exist.
(b) Exercise. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Termination
Notice (the "Termination Period"), this Warrant may be exercised by the
Warrantholder in the manner set forth in Section 1.2(a) above during normal
business hours on any Business Day during the Termination Period. In the event
of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with
this Section 1.5(b), the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to,
within two (2) Business Days of the Company's receipt of the Aggregate Exercise
Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking or other form of
security reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Warrant in
the case of its loss, theft or destruction) either (A) at the Warrantholder's
request, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Warrantholder shall be entitled upon such exercise to the holder's or its
designee's balance account with the DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system, provided that (i) Transfer Agent is participating in DTC Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, (ii) the Warrantholder is eligible to
receive shares through DTC, and (iii) the certificates for the Common Stock do
not bear a legend thereon, or (B) issue and deliver to the address as specified
in the Exercise Form, a certificate or certificates in such denominations as may
be requested by the holder in the Exercise Form, registered in the name of the
Warrantholder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
the Warrantholder shall be entitled upon such exercise. Upon delivery of the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant shall be
deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised. If this
Warrant is not exercised during the Termination Period or is exercised only in
part, this Warrant or the remainder thereof, as applicable, shall immediately
cease to be exercisable and shall be cancelled, and the Warrantholder shall
cease to have any rights with respect to this Warrant. No adjustments shall be
made on Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash
dividends paid or payable to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date
as of which the Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the record holder of such
Warrant Shares.
2. Restrictions on Transfer; Restrictive Legends.
2.1 Restrictions on Transfer; Compliance with Securities Laws. This Warrant
and the Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant may not be
transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and transferee
(including the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by the Company).
The Warrantholder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for
the Warrantholder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and
for investment, and that the Warrantholder will not offer, sell or otherwise
transfer any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under
circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any
state securities laws; provided, however, that such Warrantholder does not agree
to hold any of Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and
reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time, provided further,
however, that such disposition shall be in accordance with or pursuant to a
registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The Warrant
Shares to be purchased are being acquired solely for the Warrantholder's own
account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a
present view toward distribution or resale, other than in a transaction covered
by an effective registration statement filed under or exempted from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. This Warrant may be transferred
to an affiliate of the Warrantholder as set forth in Section 5, and as permitted
under the Purchase Agreement.
2.2 Restrictive Legends. This Warrant shall (and each Warrant issued upon a
partial exercise, issued upon transfer in whole or in part of this Warrant
pursuant to this Section 2 or issued in substitution for this Warrant issued
pursuant to Section 4 shall) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
"THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF
THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL OR UPON EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO VINA
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS
SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT OR ANOTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION."
Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2, each stock certificate for
Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and each stock
certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such Warrant
Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
SALE, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE
ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE
SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR UPON EVIDENCE
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO VINA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF
SUCH ACT OR ANOTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantholder may request that the
Company issue a stock certificate for Warrant Shares without a legend if (i)
such Warrant Shares, as the case may be, have been registered for resale under
the Securities Act or (ii) the Warrantholder shall have notified the Company of
the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if
reasonably requested by the Company, the Warrantholder shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for
the Warrantholder to the effect that such disposition will not require
registration of such Warrant or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws. The Warrantholder agrees to sell all Warrant
Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend
has been removed, pursuant to an effective registration statement or under an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
3. Reservation and Registration of Shares, Etc.
3.1 Reservation. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares
which are issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens,
security interests, charges, preemptive rights and other encumbrances with
respect to the issue thereof, other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue. The Company further covenants and
agrees that, during the Exercise Period, the Company will at all times have
authorized and reserved, and keep available free from preemptive rights, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant.
3.2 Registration. The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares
for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall constitute
Registrable Shares (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement). Each
holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to all of the benefits afforded to a
holder of any such Registrable Shares under the Purchase Agreement and such
holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by and to comply
with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement applicable to such
holder as a holder of such Registrable Shares.
4. Exchange, Loss or Destruction of Warrant.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
loss, theft or destruction, of such bond, indemnification or insurance as the
Company may require, and, in the case of such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant
of like tenor. The term "Warrant" as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to
include any Warrants issued in substitution or exchange for this Warrant.
5. Ownership of Warrant.
The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is
registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of
ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all
purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided,
however, the Warrantholder may transfer this Warrant to one or more of its
affiliates if such affiliate is an "accredited investor" under Regulation D
under the Securities Act and agrees to be bound by the terms and obligations of
this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.
6. Certain Adjustments.
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends. If at any time prior to the exercise of this Warrant
in full (i) the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of any stock
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock shall have been increased by a subdivision or split-up of shares of
Common Stock, then, on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or immediately after the
effective date of subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the number of
shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant will
increased so that the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive the number of
shares of Common Stock that such Warrantholder would have owned immediately
following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto,
and the Exercise Price will be adjusted as provided below in paragraph (f).
(b) Combination of Stock. If at any time prior to the exercise of this
Warrant in full the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding shall have been
decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
immediately after the effective date of such combination, the number of shares
of Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant will be decreased
so that the Warrantholder thereafter will be entitled to receive the number of
shares of Common Stock that such Warrantholder would have owned immediately
following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto,
and the Exercise Price will be adjusted as provided below in paragraph (f).
(c) Reorganization, etc. If at any time prior to the exercise of this
Warrant in full any capital reorganization of the Company, or any
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any consolidation of the Company with
or merger of the Company with or into any other person or any sale, lease or
other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any
other person, shall be effected in such a way that the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or assets (whether such
stock, other securities or assets are issued or distributed by the Company or
another person) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, upon
exercise of this Warrant the Warrantholder shall have the right to receive the
kind and amount of stock, other securities or assets receivable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other
transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such
Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant
had this Warrant been exercised immediately before such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other transfer,
subject to adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. If the per-share
consideration payable to the Warrantholder in connection with any such
transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the
value of such consideration shall be determined by the Company and the
Warrantholders representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock obtainable
upon exercise of all Warrants then outstanding. If such parties are unable to
reach agreement within five (5) days after the occurrence of an event requiring
valuation (the " Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be
determined within five (5) days after the fifth (5th) day following the
Valuation Event by the Company's independent accountants. The determination of
such accountants shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest
error, and the fees and expenses of such accountant shall be borne ratably by
the Company and the Warrantholders.
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall
be issued to any Warrantholder in connection with the exercise of this Warrant.
Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
issuable to such Warrantholder, the Company will pay to such Warrantholder a
cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to
that fractional interest of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock
as of the date of exercise.
(e) Carryover. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, no
adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered
to the Warrantholder (or to the Exercise Price) if such adjustment represents
less than 1% of the number of shares to be so delivered, but any lesser
adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together
with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so
carried forward shall amount to 1% or more of the number of shares to be so
delivered.
(f) Exercise Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided,
the Exercise Price payable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable immediately thereafter.
(g) No Duplicate Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
contained herein, in no event will an adjustment be made under the provisions of
this Section 6 to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant or the Exercise Price for any event if an adjustment having
substantially the same effect to the Warrantholder as any adjustment that
otherwise would be made under the provisions of this Section 6 is made by the
Company for any such event to the number of shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
6.2 No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in Section 6.1, no
adjustment in respect of any dividends shall be made during the term of this
Warrant or upon the exercise of this Warrant.
6.3 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or the
Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the
Company shall promptly (but, in any event, no later than ten (10) days from the
date of such adjustment) mail by first class, postage prepaid, to the
Warrantholder, notice of such adjustment or adjustments and a certificate of the
chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the number of Warrant
Shares and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares 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.
7. Notices of Corporate Action.
In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of
securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any Change of Control,
or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of
the Company,
the Company will mail to the Warrantholder a notice specifying (i) the date
or expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right and the amount and character of any such
dividend, distribution or right, (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, Change of Control,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or
other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or
other securities) for the securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, Change of Control,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (iii) that in the event of a Change
of Control, the Warrants are exercisable immediately prior to the consummation
of such Change of Control. Such notice shall be mailed at least 15 days prior to
the date therein specified, in the case of any date referred to in the foregoing
subdivision (i), and at least 15 days prior to the date therein specified, in
the case of the date referred to in the foregoing subdivision (ii).
