THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY INVESTOR FOR INVESTMENT
AND
NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.
NO
SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY IN FORM
AND
SUBSTANCE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE

ACT").
THE

OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE
ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND
SUCH
STATE LAWS. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON

SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
1
THIS
WARRANT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of July,
17,
2007 between Procera Networks, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), and ________________________ (“Holder”).
1. Warrant
Certificates. The warrant certificates to be delivered pursuant
to this Agreement (the "Warrant Certificates") shall be in the form set forth
in
Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required
or
permitted by this Warrant Agreement.
2. Right
to Exercise Warrants. Each Warrant may be exercised from the date
of this Agreement until 11:59 P.M. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date that
is
five (5) years after the date of this Agreement (the "Expiration
Date"). Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date
shall expire.
Each
Warrant shall entitle its holder to purchase from the Company one share of
Common Stock(each an “Exercise Share”) at an exercise price of $2.00 per share,
subject to adjustment as set forth below ("Exercise Price").
The
Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock
upon
the exercise of this Warrant or to deliver Warrant Certificates which evidence
fractional shares of capital stock. In the event that a fraction of
an Exercise Share would, except for the provisions of this paragraph 2, be
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the
Holder
exercising the Warrant an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied
by
the current market value of the Exercise Share. For purposes of this
paragraph 2, the current market value shall be determined as
follows:
(a) if
the Shares are traded in the over-the-counter market and not on any national
securities exchange and not in the NASDAQ Reporting System, the average of
the
mean between the last bid and asked prices per share, as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or an equivalent generally accepted reporting
service, for the last business day prior to the date on which the Warrant
is
exercised, or, if not so reported, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices for a Share as furnished to the Company by any member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., selected by the Company for that
purpose.
(b) if
the Shares are listed or traded on a national securities exchange or in the
NASDAQ Reporting System, the closing price on the principal national securities
exchange on which they are so listed or traded or in the NASDAQ Reporting
System, as the case may be, on the last business day prior to the date of
the
exercise of the Warrant. The closing price referred to in this Clause
(b) shall be the last reported sales price or, in case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
prices, in either case on the national securities exchange on which the Shares
are then listed on in the NASDAQ Reporting System; or
(c) if
no such closing price or closing bid and asked prices are available, as
determined in any reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
3. Mutilated
or Missing Warrant Certificates. In case any of the Warrant
Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed prior to the
Expiration Date, the Company shall issue and deliver, in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate,
or
in lieu of and in substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an
equivalent right or interest.
4. Reservation
of Shares. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized
but unissued Shares or its authorized and issued Shares held in its treasury
for
the purpose of enabling it to satisfy its obligation to issue Exercise Shares
upon exercise of Warrants, the full number of Exercise Shares deliverable
upon
the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.
The
Company covenants that all Exercise Shares which may be issued upon exercise
of
Warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable outstanding
Shares of the Company.
2
5. Rights
of Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of anything
contained in this Warrant Agreement or otherwise, prior to exercise of this
Warrant, be entitled to any right whatsoever, either in law or equity, of
a
stockholder of the Company, including without limitation, the right to receive
dividends or to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder
in
respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the
Company of any other matter.
6. Investment
Intent; Accredited Investor. Holder represents and warrants to
the Company that Holder is acquiring the Warrants for investment purposes
and
with no present intention of distributing or reselling any of the
Warrants. Holder represents that it is an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act (the
“Act”) and has executed and delivered the Investment Representation Statement
that accompanies this Agreement.
7. Certificates
to Bear Legend. The Warrants and the certificate or certificates
therefore shall bear the following legend by which each holder shall be
bound:
"THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT
OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED."
The
Exercise Shares and the certificate or certificates evidencing any such Exercise
Shares shall bear the following legend:
"THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN
THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT AN EXEMPTION
FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE."
Certificates
for Warrants or Exercise Shares, as the case may be, without such legend
shall
be issued if such Warrants or Exercise Shares are sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act or if the Company has received an opinion
from counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company that such
legend
is no longer required under the Act.
8. Adjustment
of Number of Shares and Class of Capital Stock Purchasable. The
number of Exercise Shares and class of capital stock purchasable under this
Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section
8.
(a) Adjustment
for Change in Capital Stock. If the Company:
|
(i)
|
pays
a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common
Stock;
|
|
(ii)
|
subdivides
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares;
|
|
(iii)
|
combines
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares;
or
|
|
(iv)
|
makes
a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock
other
than Common Stock.
|
3
then
the
number and classes of Exercise Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant
in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the
holder
of any Warrant thereafter exercised may receive the number and classes of
shares
of capital stock of the Company which such holder would have owned immediately
following such action if such holder had exercised the Warrant immediately
prior
to such action.
For
a
dividend or distribution the adjustment shall become effective immediately
after
the record date for the dividend or distribution. For a subdivision,
combination or reclassification, the adjustment shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of the subdivision, combination or
reclassification.
If
after
an adjustment the holder of a Warrant upon exercise of it may receive shares
of
two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors
of
the Company shall in good faith determine the allocation of the adjusted
Exercise Price between or among the classes of capital stock. After
such allocation, that portion of the Exercise Price applicable to each share
of
each such class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment
on
terms comparable to those applicable to the Exercise Shares in this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the allocation of the Exercise Price
between or among shares of capital stock as provided by this Section 8(a),
a
Warrant may only be exercised in full by payment of the entire Exercise Price
in
effect at the time of such exercise.
(b) Consolidation,
Merger or Sale of the Company. If the Company is a
party to a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets which reclassifies
or
changes its outstanding Common Stock, the successor corporation (or corporation
controlling the successor corporation or the Company, as the case may be)
shall
by operation of law assume the Company's obligations under this
Agreement. Upon consummation of such transaction, the Warrants shall
automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities,
cash or other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately
after the consolidation, merger or transfer if the holder had exercised the
Warrant immediately before the effective date of such transaction. As
a condition to the consummation of such transaction, the Company shall arrange
for the person or entity obligated to issue securities or deliver cash or
other
assets upon exercise of the Warrant to, concurrently with the consummation
of
such transaction, assume the Company's obligations hereunder by executing
an
instrument so providing and further providing for adjustments which shall
be as
nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in
this
Section 8.
9. Successors. All
the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the
Company or Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
successor and assigns hereunder.
10. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such
counterparts shall for all proposes be deemed to be an original, and such
counterparts shall together constitute by one and the same
instrument.
11. Notices. All
notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing
and
shall be deemed to have been given if delivered by hand or mailed by certified
mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as
follows: if to the Company: Procera Networks, Inc., 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxx Xxxxxxx, Chief Financial Officer, and
to the
Holder: at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company
or
the Company’s transfer agent, if any.
Either
the Company or the Holder may from time to time change the address to which
notices to it are to be mailed hereunder by notice in accordance with the
provisions of this Paragraph 11.
12. Supplements
and Amendments. The Company may from time to time
supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any Holders in
order
to cure any ambiguity or to be correct or supplement any provision contained
herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision, or
to
make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions herein arising
hereunder which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which shall
not
materially adversely affect the interest of the Holder.
13. Severability. If
for any reason any provision, paragraph or term of this Agreement is held
to be
invalid or unenforceable, all other valid provisions herein shall remain
in full
force and effect and all terms, provisions and paragraphs of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be severable.
4
14. Governing
Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a
contract made under the laws of the State of California and for all purposes
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of said
State. Any proceeding arising under this Agreement shall be
instituted in the State of California.
17. Headings. Paragraphs
and subparagraph headings, used herein are included herein for convenience
of
reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement nor
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed, as of the date and year first above written.

THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, _____________________- or any person or entity to whom the
interest in this Warrant is lawfully transferred ("Holder") is
entitled to purchase the above number (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4
hereof) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock (the
"Shares") of Procera Networks, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company),
having
an Exercise Price as set forth above, subject to the provisions and upon
the
terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement dated
July 17, 2007. The exercise price, as adjusted from time to time as
provided herein, is referred to as the "Exercise Price."
1. Term. The
purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in
part, at any time commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the Expiration
Date, after which time the Warrant shall be void.
2. Method
of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to Section
1 hereof, the right to purchase Shares represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, for the total number of Shares
remaining available for exercise 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
check
made payable to the Company drawn on a United States bank and for United
States
funds, or by delivery to the Company of evidence of cancellation of indebtedness
of the Company to such Holder, of an amount equal to the then applicable
Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased
or by net exercise pursuant to Section 6 hereof. In the event of any
exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant, certificates
for the Shares so purchased shall be promptly delivered to Holder and, unless
this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing
the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall
not
then have been exercised shall also be promptly delivered to
Holder.
3. Exercise
Price. The Exercise Price at which this Warrant may be
exercised shall be the Exercise Price, as adjusted from time to time pursuant
to
Section 4 hereof.
4. Reclassification,
Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In the case of any
reclassification of the Shares, or any reorganization, consolidation or merger
of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or
reorganization with respect to which the Company is the continuing corporation
and which does not result in any reclassification of the Shares), the Company,
or such successor corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a new warrant
providing that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new warrant
and
upon such exercise to receive, in lieu of each Share theretofore issuable
upon
exercise of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities, money and property
receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation or merger
by a holder of Shares for each Share. Such new warrant shall provide
for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 4 including, without limitation,
adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, consolidations
or mergers.
6
5. Transferability
and Negotiability of Warrant. This Warrant may not be transferred
or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable federal
and
state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including,
without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and
legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if reasonably requested
by the Company). Subject to the provisions of this
Section 5, title to this Warrant may be transferred in the same manner
as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and
delivery.
6. Net
Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder
may elect to exchange this Warrant for Shares equal to the value of this
Warrant
by surrender of this Warrant, together with notice of such election, at the
principal office of the Company, in which event the Company shall issue to
the
holder a number of Shares 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.
A=
value
per share of one Share determined in accordance with Section 2 of the Warrant
Agreement.
B=
the
Exercise Price (as adjusted).
7. Miscellaneous.
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available,
solely for the purpose of issue upon the exercise hereof, a sufficient
number of
Shares to permit the exercise hereof in full. Such Shares, when
issued in compliance with the provisions of this Warrant and the Company’s First
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, will be duly authorized,
validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No Holder of this Warrant, as
such, shall, prior to the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to vote
or
receive dividends or be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company for any
purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer
upon Holder, as such, any rights of a stockholder of the Company or any
right to
vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action, receive notice
of
meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or
otherwise. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and,
in
the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity
agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in
the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof,
a
new Warrant of like date and tenor. The terms and provisions of this
Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and
the Holder hereof and their respective successors and assigns. This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State
of
Nevada.

In
connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, I, the Purchaser,
represent to the Company the following:
(a)
I am aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition, and
have
acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and
knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am purchasing
these Securities for my 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 ("Securities
Act").
(b) I
understand 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 my investment intent as expressed
herein.
(c) I
further understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption
from registration is otherwise available. In addition, I understand
that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend
which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered
or
such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Purchaser
satisfactory to the Company or receipt of a nonaction letter from the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
(d) I
am aware of 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 (or
from
an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other
things: the availability of certain public information about the
Company; the resale occurring not less than one year after the party has
purchased and paid for the securities to be sold; 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, as amended); and the amount of securities being sold during any three
month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated
therein.
(e) I
further understand that at the time I wish to sell the Securities there may
be
no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a
public
market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public
information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, I may be
precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one-year
minimum holding period had been satisfied.
(f) I
further understand that in the event all of the 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 is 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.
