forth the date on which the Company proposes to file such registration
statement, which date shall be no earlier than thirty (30) days from the date of
such notice, and advising the undersigned of its right to have the Securities
included in such registration. Upon the written request of the undersigned
received by the Company no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the
Company's notice, the Company will use its best efforts to cause to be included
in such registration all of the Securities that the undersigned has so requested
to be registered; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that if, in the written opinion of the
managing underwriter or underwriters (or, in the case of a nonunderwritten
offering, in the written opinion of the placement agent, or if there is none,
the Company), the total amount of such securities to
3
be so registered, including the Securities, will exceed the maximum amount of
the Company's securities which can be marketed (i) at a price reasonably related
to the then current value of such securities; or (ii) without otherwise
materially and adversely affecting the entire offering, then the amount of
Securities to be offered for the account of the undersigned and any other person

necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such
offering to the recommended amount.
7. VALUATION

germane to a full understanding of the valuation of an early stage, private
company's stock. While a discussion of all these factors is outside the scope of
this Subscription Agreement, the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that it has
considered all factors and made all inquiries it has determined to be relevant
in entering into the Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, the
following: In December, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors determined that
the fair market value of Common Stock was not more than $0.05 per share for the

not made, and does not now make, any representations that the value of its
Common Stock exceeds, or will exceed on any future date, the fair market value
of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors, including, without
limitation, any representation that the Common Stock would be valued at $0.05
per share in subsequent transactions between the parties; and (ii) no third
party has passed on the valuation established by the parties.

SECTION 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights represented by this Warrant
may be exercised by the holder hereof in whole at any time or in part from time
to time during the applicable term set forth in Section 1 hereof, but not as to
a fractional share of Warrant Stock, by the surrender of this Warrant (properly
endorsed) at the office of the Company, at One Century Tower, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (or at such other agency or office of the Company
in the United States of America as it may designate by notice in writing to the
holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the
Company), and by payment to the Company of the Warrant Price in cash or by
certified or cashier's check or wire transfer for each share being purchased.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising
this Warrant as hereinabove permitted, the Subscriber may elect to receive
shares of Warrant Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant
(or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company, together with the properly endorsed
Subscription Form, in which event the Company shall issue to the Subscriber that
number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:
SAS = WS x (CP-EP)
------------------
CP
Where:
SAS equals the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to
the Subscriber; and
WS equals the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under
the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the
date of such calculation); and
CP equals the Closing Price (as hereinafter defined) as of the
date of exercise. "Closing Price" on any day shall mean, in
the absence of an established market for the Company's Common
Stock, the valuation per share as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors; provided, however, that where there
exists a public market for the Common Stock at the time of
such exercise, the Closing Price per share shall be equal to
the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common
Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the
last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing
price quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System or on any
exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is
applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal for the
five
5
(5) trading days prior to the date of determination of the
Closing Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company's initial
public offering of Common Stock, the Closing Price per share
shall be equal to the per share offering price to the public
of the Common Stock issued in the initial public offering; and
EP equals the per share exercise price (as calculated in
accordance with Section 1 hereof).
In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant,
a certificate or certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased,
registered in the name of the holder, shall be delivered to the holder hereof
within a reasonable time, not exceeding twenty-five (25) days, after the rights
represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised; and, unless this
Warrant has expired, a new Warrant of like tenor representing the number of
shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof within such time. The person
in whose name any certificate for shares of Warrant Stock is issued upon
exercise of this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the
holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered
and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective
of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such
surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are
closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at
the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer
books are open. The Company shall pay any issue tax imposed on exercise of this
Warrant for Warrant Stock, provided, however, that the Subscriber 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 Subscriber as reflected upon the books of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, this
Warrant may be exercised only upon the delivery to the Company of any
certificates, legal opinions, or other documents reasonably requested by the
Company or its counsel to satisfy the Company and its counsel that the proposed
exercise of this Warrant may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise
this Warrant, or any part hereof, unless and until such certificates, legal
opinions or other documents are reasonably acceptable to the Company and its
counsel.
SECTION 3. COVENANTS AS TO WARRANT STOCK. The Company covenants and
agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of
the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the
Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive
rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Warrant Stock to provide for the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company further
covenants and agrees that if any shares of capital stock to be reserved for the
purpose of the issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or
State law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise,
then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to
secure such registration or
6
approval, as the case may be. If and so long as the Warrant Stock issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange, the
Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed
on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Warrant
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Warrant Price as provided in Section 5, the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such
adjustment, the number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth of a share)
obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior
to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Price
resulting from such adjustment.
SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE. The Warrant Price and the
securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) If, at any time during the Term of this Warrant but after
a calculation of Warrant Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company outstanding 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, following
the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive such stock dividend, subdivision or split-up, the Warrant Price shall
be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Warrant Stock
issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be increased in proportion to such
increase in outstanding shares.
(ii) In any case in which the provision of this Section 5
shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a
record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such
event issuing to the holder of all or any part of this Warrant which is
exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the
additional shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the
adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of capital stock
issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment exercise;
provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due xxxx or
other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such
additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(iii) The sale or other disposition of any Warrant Stock
theretofore held in the treasury of the Company shall be deemed to be an
issuance thereof.
SECTION 6. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Except as specifically provided for in
this Warrant, this Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting
rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Upon exercise of this
Warrant and at the request of the Company, the holder hereof shall execute a
joinder agreement whereby it will become a party to such other agreements
between the Company and its shareholders as may be in effect at such time.
SECTION 7. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to the provisions of the
Subscription Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable,
in whole or in part, but only upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed.
Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by
7
taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when
endorsed, in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and when so endorsed the holder
hereof may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this
Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purposes and as the person entitled
to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the transfer hereof on
the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until
such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof
as the owner hereof for all purposes.
SECTION 8. EXCHANGE OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon
surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the office or agency of the Company
designated in Section 2 hereof, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in
the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares which
may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to
represent the right to subscribe for and purchase such number of shares as shall
be designated by said holder hereof at the time of such surrender.
SECTION 9. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms
as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (which shall, in
the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new
Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated
or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated
or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
SECTION 10. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Fractional shares shall not be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in any case where the Subscriber would,
except for the provisions of this Section 10, be entitled under the terms hereof
to receive a fractional share upon the complete exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant for the largest number of whole
shares then called for, cancel this Warrant and pay a sum in cash equal to the
value of such fractional share (determined in such reasonable manner as may be
prescribed in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).

regarding such Subscriber as the Company may reasonably request in writing and

case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in

statements; and
8
(ii) at the same time and in the same manner as it is provided
to the stockholders of the Company, a copy of any notice, consent or other
communication distributed by the Company to its stockholders as stockholders.
(c) To the extent not otherwise provided herein, in the event of:
(i) 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
(ii) any 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
(iii) any Change of Control, or Company,
then and in each such event the Company will promptly mail or cause to be mailed
to the holder of this Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right,
and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right,
and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, Change of Control,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place. Such notice shall be
mailed at least five (5) days prior to the date specified in such notice on
which any such action is to be taken.
SECTION 12. LAW GOVERNING. This Warrant shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
(or any predecessor in interest thereof) against which enforcement of the same
is sought. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only and
shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
(b) Any provision of this Warrant which is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
(c) The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
9
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not
increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable on the exercise of the
Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, and (ii) will take
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the
exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.

("Modified Licensed Program") to SCIENTIFIC, and SCIENTIFIC shall, at its
commercially reasonable discretion and schedule, incorporate the Permitted
Modifications (or a reasonably equivalent set of alternative modifications) into

Program"). SCIENTIFIC agrees to retain a copy of the source code for the
Modified Licensed Program as delivered by Licensee until such a commercial
release has occurred and SCIENTIFIC has delivered to LICENSEE all non-source

create the Non-Source Programs, LICENSEE agrees not to make or permit to be
made,, any copies of the Licensed Program or portions thereof without the

other similar operational behaviors or characteristics of the Licensed Program,

DISTRIBUTE THE LICENSED PROGRAM HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
