WARRANT TO PURCHASE 500,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
----------
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Microsoft Corporation (the
"HOLDER") is entitled to subscribe for and purchase 500,000 shares (as adjusted
pursuant to Section 3 hereof) of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock (the
"SHARES") of Wink Communications, Inc., a California corporation (the
"COMPANY"), at the price of $12.00 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.
1. Exercise; Payment.
(a) Time of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, in
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on any business day, before
5:00 p.m., California local time, after May 26, 1999, for the full or any
partial number of Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable.
(b) Method of Exercise.
(i) Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented
by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, 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, by wire transfer or by certified, cashier's or other
check acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price of the Shares being purchased.
2
(ii) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this
Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in
which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
-------
A
Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (or
the portion thereof being exercised).
A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's
Common Stock.
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation).
(iii) Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Warrant,
the "Fair Market Value" of the Company's Common Stock shall mean:
A. The average of the closing ask prices of
the Company's Common Stock quoted in the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Market Summary
or the closing prices quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is
listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall
Street Journal for the ten trading days (or such lesser number of days as the
Company's stock has been so traded) prior to the date of determination of fair
market value; provided, however, if this Warrant is exercised in connection with
an IPO, the fair market value shall be the gross price to the public per share
in such offering.
B. If the Company's Common Stock is not
traded Over-The-Counter or on an exchange, the per share fair market value of
the Common Stock shall be the fair market value price per share as determined in
good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
(c) Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of Common Stock
so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time and,
unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant
representing the shares with respect to which this Warrant has not have been
exercised shall be issued to the Holder.
2. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Shares
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of
the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. During the period
within which 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 full exercise of this Warrant.

3. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant:
(a) Adjustments. The Exercise Price per share of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) Issuance of Common Stock and Common Stock
Equivalents. If, after the date of original issuance of this Warrant but prior
to an IPO effectuated through a firm commitment underwriting at a price per
share (prior to underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of not less than
$12.00 per share (as appropriately adjusted for any subsequent stock splits,
stock dividends, reclassifications or recapitalizations) and with gross proceeds
to the Company (prior to underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of not
less than $10,000,000, the Company shall issue (or, pursuant to Subsection
(a)(ii)(3) hereof, shall be deemed to have issued) any Common Stock other than
"Excluded Stock" (as defined below) for a consideration per share less than the
then current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock immediately prior to the
issuance of such Common Stock (excluding stock dividends, subdivisions,
split-ups, combinations, dividends or recapitalizations covered by Subsections
(a)(iv), (v), (vi) and (vii)), the Exercise Price in effect immediately after
each such issuance shall forthwith be adjusted to a price equal to (A) the
product of such Exercise Price multiplied by (B) the quotient obtained by
dividing:
(1) an amount equal to the sum of
(y) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsections
(a)(ii)(3) and (a)(iii)) immediately prior to such issuance, plus
(z) the number of shares of Common
Stock the consideration received by the Company upon such issuance would have
purchased at the then current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, by
(2) (y) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Common Stock
(including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or
deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsections (a)(ii)(3) and (a)(iii)) plus
(z) the number of shares of Common
Stock actually issued in the transaction which resulted in the adjustment
pursuant to this Subsection (a)(i).
In each such case the Holder, upon the exercise hereof, shall be entitled to
receive, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, a number of shares of Common Stock determined by (i)
dividing the Exercise Price then in effect by the Exercise Price as adjusted as
provided above as a result of such sale and (ii) multiplying the quotient by the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this Warrant.
-3-

(ii) Treatment of Certain Issuances. For the purposes
of any adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Subsection (a)(i), the
following provisions shall be applicable:
(1) In the case of the issuance of Common
Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor after deducting any discounts or commissions paid or incurred by the
Company in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(2) In the case of the issuance of Common
Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably
determined by the board of directors of the Company, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
(3) In the case of the issuance of (x)
options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock (other than Excluded
Stock), (y) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock (other than Excluded Stock), or (z) options to purchase or rights
to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities:
(A) the aggregate maximum number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or
rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the
time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the
consideration (determined in the manner provided in Subsections (a)(ii)(1) and
(a)(ii)(2) above), if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such
options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or
rights for the Common Stock covered thereby;
(B) the aggregate maximum number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any
such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities
and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been
issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were
issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the
Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any
cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the
additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the
conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options
or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner
provided in Subsections (a)(ii)(1) and (a)(ii)(2) above);
(C) on any change in the number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any such options or rights
or conversion of or exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, or
on any change in the minimum purchase price of such options, rights or
securities, other than a change resulting from the antidilution provisions of
such options, rights or securities, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be
readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have obtained had the adjustment made
upon (x) the issuance of such options, rights or
-4-
5
securities not exercised, converted or exchanged prior to such change or (y) the
options or rights related to such securities not converted or exchanged prior to
such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change; and
(D) on the expiration of any such
options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or
the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or
exchangeable securities, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be readjusted to
such Exercise Price as would have obtained had the adjustment made upon the
issuance of such options, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities or
options or rights relate to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the
case may be, been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of
shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options or
rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable
securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such
convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be.
(iii) Excluded Stock. "Excluded Stock" shall mean:
(1) all shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding on the date hereof;
(2) all shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock
of the Company (in each case, outstanding on the date of this Warrant), and the
Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are
convertible;
(3) up to 17,500 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of the Company, 500,000 shares of Common Stock, and 125,000
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to Venture
Lending & Leasing, Inc., Benchmark Capital Partners, L.P. and Benchmark Founders
Fund, L.P., and WC Investors, LLC, respectively, up to 375,000 shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to NBC Multimedia, Inc., up to
550,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to
General Electric Capital Corporation, shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of warrants issued to The Xxxx Disney Company or its affiliates and
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to CBS
Corporation; and
(4) up to 6,589,546 shares of Common Stock
(and/or options or warrants therefor) issued after February 1, 1995 (and net of
any repurchases) to employees, officers, directors, contractors, advisors,
consultants of the Company pursuant to incentive agreements or plans approved by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
All outstanding shares of Excluded Stock (including shares issuable upon
conversion of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock , the Series B Preferred
Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock) shall be
deemed to be outstanding for all purposes of the computations of
Subsection(a)(i).
-5-
6
(iv) Stock Splits and Stock Dividends. If the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date of original
issuance of this Warrant is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of
Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, on
the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the Exercise Price
shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such
increase of outstanding shares. Such adjustment shall become effective at the
close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or split-up becomes
effective.
(v) Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date of original issuance of this
Warrant is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
then, on the effective date of such combination, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on
exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding shares. Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the combination becomes effective.
(vi) Certain Dividends. In case the Company shall
declare a dividend upon its Common Stock generally payable otherwise than out of
retained earnings or shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares
of its capital stock (other than Common Stock), stock or other securities of
other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons,
assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding options to
purchase and rights to subscribe for Common Stock or other securities of the
Company convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), then, in each such
case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to the date of such dividend or distribution by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Aggregate Valuation of the Company as of
such date less the fair market value of the cash, securities, indebtedness,
assets or rights so distributed and the denominator of which is the Aggregate
Valuation of the Company. For purposes hereof, "Aggregate Valuation of the
Company" shall mean the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common
Stock, determined in the manner set forth in Section 1(b)(iii), multiplied by
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, or deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Subsections 3(a)(ii)(3) and 3(a)(iii)) as of such date.
(vii) Reorganization; Reclassification. In the case,
at any time after the date of original issuance of this Warrant, of any capital
reorganization, or any reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than
as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of
shares), the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
entity and which does not result in any change in the Common Stock), or a sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, this Warrant
shall, after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
sale, be exercisable for the kind and aggregate number of shares of stock or
other securities or property of the Company or other entity to which the Holder
would have been entitled if, immediately prior to such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, such Holder had exercised this
Warrant in full (subject to all adjustments under this Section 3). The
provisions of this clause (vii)
-6-
7
shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
consolidations, mergers or sales.
(viii) All calculations under this Subsection (a) shall
be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share,
as appropriate.
(b) Minimal Adjustments. No adjustment in the Exercise Price
need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Exercise Price
of less than $0.01. Any adjustment of less than $0.01 which is not made shall be
carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any
subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of
$0.01 or more in the Exercise Price. If, after one or more adjustments to the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3, the Exercise Price cannot be reduced
further without falling below the greater of (i) $0.001 or (ii) the lowest
positive exercise price legally permissible for warrants to acquire shares of
Common Stock, the Company shall make further adjustment to compensate the
holder, consistent with the foregoing principles, as the Board of Directors,
acting in good faith, deems necessary, including an increase in the number of
Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants and/or a cash payment to
the holder.
4. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Shares purchasable
hereunder or the Exercise Price thereof shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3
hereof, the Company shall provide notice by first class mail to the holder of
this Warrant setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated, and the number of Shares which may be purchased and the Exercise
Price therefor after giving effect to such adjustment.
5. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be
issued in connection with any exercise hereunder. In lieu of such fractional
shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based upon the Exercise
Price then in effect.
6. Representations of the Company. The Company represents that all
corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and
shareholders necessary for the sale and issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto
and the performance of the Company's obligations hereunder have been taken prior
to and are effective as of the effective date of this Warrant.
7. Representations and Warranties by the Holder. The Holder
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise
thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a
view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"ACT"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if appropriate under
applicable securities laws, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the
Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being
acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.
-7-
8
(b) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares
have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a
transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of
the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, that they must be held by the Holder
indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such
investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the
Act or is exempted from such registration. The Holder further understands that
the Shares have not been qualified under the California Securities Law of 1968
(the "CALIFORNIA LAW") by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from
the qualification requirements of the California Law pursuant to Section
25102(f) thereof, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the Holder's investment intent expressed above.
(c) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of acquiring this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof and
of protecting its interests in connection herewith.
(d) The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the
purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
8. Restrictive Legend.
The Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (unless
registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH,
THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY
NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION
OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT
FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF
THE ACT. COPIES OF THE INSTRUMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE
SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST
BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS
CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AT THE PRINCIPAL
EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE CORPORATION.
9. Restrictions Upon Transfer and Removal of Legend.
(a) The Company need not register a transfer of Shares
bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 8 hereof, unless the
conditions specified in such legend are satisfied. The Company may also instruct
its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Shares, unless one of the
conditions specified in the legend referred to in Section 8 hereof is satisfied.
-8-
9
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above,
no opinion of counsel or "no-action" letter shall be necessary for a transfer
without consideration by any holder (i) to an affiliate of the holder, (ii) if
such holder is a partnership, to a partner or retired partner of such
partnership who retires after the date hereof or to the estate of any such
partner or retired partner, (iii) if such holder is a corporation, to a
shareholder of such corporation, or to any other corporation under common
control, direct or indirect, with such holder, or (iv) by gift, will or
intestate succession of any individual holder or individual partner of a holder,
in whole or in part, to his spouse or siblings, or to the lineal descendants or
ancestors of such holder or his spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to
be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such transferee were the
original holder hereunder.
(c) In order to effect any transfer of all or a portion of
this Warrant or the Shares, the transferor shall deliver a completed and duly
executed Notice of Transfer (attached hereto as Exhibit C).
10. Associated Rights. The Company covenants that the initial Holder
shall be entitled to all such rights as the Company has granted to investors in
the Company generally, including all rights including but not limited to the
registration rights, information rights and rights of first refusal and co-sale,
pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated as of
June 18, 1997, as amended to date (the "Rights Agreement"), including the waiver
by each holder of the subordination rights in paragraph 2.7 contained in the
Rights Agreement, and the Third Amended and Restated Founder's Co-Sale Agreement
dated as of June 17, 1997, as amended. The Company agrees to take promptly all
appropriate steps to obtain all necessary waivers and consents from existing
investors and amend such agreements to provide the initial Holder and its
permitted assignees with such rights.
11. Rights of Shareholders. Notwithstanding Section 10 hereof,
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,
consolidation, 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.

assets of the Company; or
13. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
PURCHASER : _________________________
SELLER : WINK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
COMPANY : WINK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
SECURITY : COMMON STOCK ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF THE STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
ISSUED ON _________, 1999
AMOUNT : __________ SHARES
DATE : ______________
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the Purchaser
represents to the Seller and to the Company the following:
(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Company
to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities.
Purchaser is purchasing these Securities for its own account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act").
(b) Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of its investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection,
Purchaser understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may be
unavailable if its representation was predicated solely upon a present intention
to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under
tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the
market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed
period in the future.
(c) Purchaser further understands that the Securities must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless
an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, Purchaser
understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities,
other than as set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights
Agreement dated June 18, 1997 and as may be subsequently amended. In addition,
Xxxxxxxxx understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be
imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless
the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to it stating
that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
13
(d) Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144,
promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited
public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from
the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions.
The Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to
the provisions of Rule 144, which requires among other things: (1) the resale
occurring not less than one year after the party has purchased, and made full
payment for, within the meaning of Rule 144, the securities to be sold; and, in
the case of an affiliate, or of a non-affiliate who has held the securities not
less than two years, (2) the availability of certain public information about
the Company, (3) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited
"broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said
term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), and (4) the amount
of securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the
specified limitations stated therein.
(e) Purchaser agrees, in connection with the Company's initial
underwritten public offering of the Company's securities, (1) not to sell, make
short sale of, loan, grant any options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose
of any shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the undersigned (other than
those shares included in the registration) without the prior written consent of
the Company or the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public
offering of the Company's securities for one hundred eighty (180) days from the
effective date of such registration, and (2) Purchaser further agrees to execute
any agreement reflecting (1) above as may be requested by the underwriters at
the time of the public offering.
(f) Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 are
not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons
proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered
offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden
of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for
such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who
participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
