1. Registration. The Holder shall have the rights to registration of Underlying
Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants that are set forth in the Investor Rights
Agreement, dated the Original Issue Date, among the Company and each of the Purchasers (the
“Investor Rights Agreement”).
2. Sale Without Registration. If, at the time of any transfer or surrender for
exchange of a Warrant or of Underlying Securities previously issued upon the exercise of Warrants,
such Warrant or Underlying Securities shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the Company
may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer or exchange, that the Holder or transferee of

be made without registration under the Securities Act and without registration or qualification
under any applicable Blue Sky Laws, provided that nothing contained in this Section 2 shall relieve
(a) the Company from complying with the Investor Rights Agreement or (b) the Holder from its
obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
3. Exercise of Warrant.
3.1. Exercise in Full. Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time on or
following the date hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder hereof by
surrender of this Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by
such Xxxxxx, to the Company at its principal office set forth at the head of this Warrant
(or such other location as the Company from time to time may advise the Holder in writing),
accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order
of the Company, in the amount obtained (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) by
multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by (b) the Purchase Price per share on the date of such exercise.
3.2. Partial Exercise. Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time on or
following the date hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in part by surrender of this
Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in Section 3.1 except that the amount
payable by the Holder upon any partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying
(a) the number of shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the subscription at the
end hereof by (b) the Purchase Price per share on the date of such exercise. Upon any such
partial exercise, the Company at its expense shall forthwith issue and deliver to or upon
the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the
Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer
taxes and subject to the provisions of Section 2) may request, calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of
such shares issuable prior to such partial exercise of this Warrant minus the number of such
shares designated by the Holder in the subscription at the end hereof.
4
3.3. Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company shall, at the time of any
exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its
continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights (including, without limitation,
any right to registration of the Underlying Securities, if any) to which such Holder shall
continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this
Warrant; provided, however, that if the Holder of this Warrant shall fail to make
any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to
afford such Holder any such rights.
3.4. Certain Exercises. If an exercise of this Warrant is to be made in
connection with a registered public offering or sale of the Company, such exercise may, at
the election of the Holder, be conditioned on the consummation of the public offering or
sale of the Company, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed effective until the
consummation of such transaction.
3.5. Conversion Right. At any time following the first anniversary of the date
of original issuance of this Warrant that a registration statement as contemplated by the
Investor Rights Agreement is not effective with respect to the resale of the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, then in lieu of exercising this Warrant at such time
as specified in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, the Holder may convert this Warrant, in whole
or in part, into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (a) the
aggregate fair market value of the Common Stock or the Other Securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant minus the Aggregate Purchase Price of such shares by (b) the
current Market Price. Such conversion shall be effected by surrender of this Warrant, with
the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such Xxxxxx, to the Company at
its principal office set forth at the head of this Warrant (or such other location as the
Company from time to time may advise the Holder in writing).
4. Delivery of Stock Certificates on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the
exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three Business Days
thereafter, the Company at its own expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue
taxes) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such
Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes and subject to the provisions
of Section 2) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock or Other Securities to which such Holder shall be entitled
upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be
entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then current Market Price of one full
share.
5. Adjustment for Dividends.
(a) In case at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall
at any time declare or pay a dividend upon its Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, the
number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise
5
hereof shall be increased by the number of shares that would have been issued pursuant to such
dividend with respect to the shares acquirable hereunder as of the record date for such dividend.
(b) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Original Issue
Date is decreased by a combination or reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the Purchase Price per share shall be increased in proportion to such decrease. If the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Original Issue Date is increased
by a forward stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise hereof shall be increased by the number of shares
that would have been issued had this Warrant been fully exercised as of the date of such forward
stock split or other transaction resulting in an increase in the outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
(c) Upon each adjustment to the Purchase Price per share, the Holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Purchase Price per share resulting from such adjustment,
the number of shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price per share in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant
hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Purchase Price
per share resulting from such adjustment.
6. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. In case the Company after the Original
Issue Date shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other Person,
or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person under any
plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, the
Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 3 at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such
dissolution, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive (and the Company or its successors or
assigns shall be entitled to deliver), in lieu of the Underlying Securities issuable upon such
exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and
property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or
in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this
Warrant immediately prior thereto. Upon receipt of such stock and other securities and property
(including cash), if any, the rights of the Holder under this Warrant shall terminate and cease and
this Warrant shall expire and be of no force and effect. In any such case, the Company (or its
successors or assigns) shall be entitled to make appropriate adjustments in the application of the
provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such
reorganization, merger, consolidation or dissolution. The Company shall not effect any such
reorganization, consolidation, merger or dissolution, unless prior to or simultaneously with the
consummation thereof, the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger or the
corporation purchasing such assets shall confirm or assume, by written instrument, the obligation
to deliver to each Holder the shares of stock, cash, other securities or assets to which, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, each Holder may be entitled to and all other obligations
of the Company under this Warrant.
7. Further Assurances; Reports. The Company shall take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
6
paid and non-assessable shares of Underlying Securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time
to time outstanding. For so long as the Holder holds this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to
the Holder contemporaneously with delivery to the holders of Common Stock, a copy of each report of
the Company delivered to such holders.
8. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the Underlying Securities, the Company shall, at its expense, promptly cause its Chief Financial
Officer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and the number of shares of Common Stock or
Other Securities outstanding or deemed to be outstanding. The Company shall forthwith mail a copy
of each such certificate to the Holder.
9. Notices of Record Date. In the event of:
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of its stockholders for the purpose of
determining the stockholders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution (other than a quarterly dividend payable solely in cash), 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 for the purpose of
determining stockholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed
capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the
capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of
the Company to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
Person, or
(b) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company,

distribution or right and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to
take place, and the time, if any, as of which the Holders of record of Underlying Securities shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of Underlying Securities for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior
to the date therein specified.
10. Reservation of Stock Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. The Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) as will be sufficient to
permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.
11. Listing on Securities Exchanges; Registration; Issuance of Certain Securities. In
furtherance and not in limitation of any other provision of this Warrant, if the
7
Company at any time shall list any Common Stock (or Other Securities) on any national securities
exchange or Nasdaq, the Company shall, at its expense, simultaneously list the Underlying
Securities from time to time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants on such exchange or Nasdaq,
upon official notice of issuance.
12. Exchange of Warrants. Subject to the provisions of Section 2, upon surrender for
exchange of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company, as soon as practicable (and in any
event within three Business Days) the Company at its own expense shall issue and deliver to or upon
the order of the Holder thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Holder
or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct,
