BOREALIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This Warrant is being issued to ____________ (the "Holder") in
connection with the Unit Purchase Agreement dated ___________ between the Holder
and Borealis Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
This Warrant entitles the Holder to subscribe for and purchase up to _______
shares (the "Maximum Number of Shares") of fully paid and nonassessable Common
Stock of the Company (the "Shares") (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof)
at the price of $5.00 per share (the "Exercise Price") (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 3 hereof) subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.
10. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. This Warrant
may be exercised by the Holder hereof at any time on or prior to December 18,
2000. Exercise shall be made, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this
Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly
executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Shares being purchased, which amount may be paid in cash or by check. In the
event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates
for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within a
reasonable time and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a
new Warrant representing that portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to
which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall also be issued to
the Holder within such reasonable time.
11. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Shares issuable
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance
and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable.
During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for
issuance sufficient shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of
the rights represented by this Warrant.
12. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. Subject to the
provisions of Section 1 hereof, the number and kind of securities purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events,
as follows:
a. In the event the Company shall at any time subdivide the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its
outstanding Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock
dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased, and in the event the Company shall at any time
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price will be proportionately
increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision,
stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.
b. If the Company is recapitalized through the subdivision or
combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger or smaller
number of shares, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
may be exercised shall be increased or reduced in the same proportion as the
increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of
II-16
2
Common Stock and the then applicable Exercise Price shall be adjusted by
multiplying such number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise
hereof immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately
following such subdivision or combination.
c. Whenever the number of shares shall be adjusted as required by
the provisions of this Section 3, the Company forthwith shall file in the
custody of its secretary or an assistant secretary, at its principal office, an
Officer's Certificate showing the adjusted number of shares and setting forth in
reasonable detail the circumstances requiring the adjustment. Each such
Officer's Certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times during
reasonable hours for inspection by the Holder.
13. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued in
connection with an exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional Shares the
Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price
then in effect.
14. Redemption Rights.
a. In the event that either (i) the average last sale price of the
Company's Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (or such other
automatic quotation system, over-the-counter market or exchange upon which the
Company's Common Stock may then be traded) over a period of 20 consecutive
trading days shall be equal to or greater than $9.00 per share (as equitably
adjusted for stock splits and the like) or (ii) the Company shall receive the
prior written consent of X.X. Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. or any successor in interest
thereto (the "Sales Agent"), in its sole discretion, then the Company may, in
its sole discretion, notify the Holder in writing of its intention to redeem
this Warrant (the "Redemption Notice"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if the Redemption Notice is delivered pursuant to subsection (i) of
the preceding sentence, the Redemption Notice shall be void and of no force
unless sent by the Company to the Holder no later than fifteen days after the
last of the 20 trading days referred to in such subsection (i). The Redemption
Notice shall set forth (i) the date upon which the Company shall redeem this
Warrant (the "Redemption Date") which date shall be no earlier than thirty days
following the date the Company sends the Redemption Notice and (ii) the place at
which payment may be obtained.
b. On the Redemption Date, the Holder shall surrender to the
Company this Warrant (unless earlier exercised in full) in the manner and at the
place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon, $0.05 shall be payable
to the order of the Holder and this Warrant shall be canceled. From and after
5:00 p.m., Nevada time, on the day immediately preceding the Redemption Date,
all rights of the Holder hereunder (other than rights to receive payment
pursuant to this Section 5) shall cease, and this Warrant shall not thereafter
be transferred on the books of the Company or be deemed to be outstanding for
any purpose whatsoever.
c. The Holder acknowledges that the Sales Agent is under no
obligation to grant or withhold its consent to a redemption of the Warrants
under any circumstances, regardless of the potential effect of such potential
redemption on the Company, the stockholders of the Company or the Holder. The
Holder further acknowledges that if the Company seeks to exercise its right to
redeem this Warrant at a time that is not advantageous to the Holder that there
can be no assurance that the Sales Agent will withhold its consent to such
exercise.
15. Transfer, Exchange, Assignment or Loss of Warrant.
a. This Warrant may not be assigned or transferred except as
provided in this Section 6 and in accordance with and subject to the provisions
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations
promulgated thereunder (said Act and such Rules and Regulations being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Act"). Any purported transfer or
assignment made other than in accordance with this Section 6 shall be null and
void and of no force and effect.
b. Prior to any transfer of this Warrant, other than in an offering
registered under the Act, the Holder shall notify the Company of its intention
to effect such transfer, indicating the circumstances of the proposed transfer
and upon request furnish the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, to the effect that
the proposed transfer may be made without registration under the Act or
qualification under any applicable state securities law.

c. Each certificate for Shares or for any other security issued or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend substantially to
the following effect:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). SUCH
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN
THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE MADE PURSUANT TO
RULE 144 OR REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER
FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT."
d. Any assignment permitted hereunder shall be made by surrender of
this Warrant to the Company at its principal office with the Assignment Form
attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed. In such event the Company shall,
without charge for any issuance or transfer tax or other cost incurred by the
Company with respect to such transfer, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the
name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant
shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other
warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation thereof at the principal
office of the Company together with a written notice signed by the Holder
thereof, specifying the names and denominations in which new warrants are to be
issued.
e. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity
satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and
date and any such lost, stolen, or destroyed Warrant shall thereupon become
void.
16. Rights of Shareholders. No holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the
holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which 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 of this Warrant, as
such, 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 recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change
of par value or change of stock to no par value, consideration, merger,
conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive
dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been
exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become
deliverable, as provided herein.

recognized courier.
