or in part at any time or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date by
the delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile) of the form
of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Notice of
2
Exercise"), duly executed by the Holder, at the principal office of the Company,
and as soon as practicable after such date, surrendering
(a) this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, and
(b) payment, (i) in cash (by check) or by wire transfer, (ii) by
cancellation by the Holder of indebtedness of the Company to the Holder; or
(iii) by a combination of Common_Stock (i) and (ii), of an amount equal to the
product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock being

Amount"), except that if Holder is subject to HSR Act Restrictions (as defined
in Section 2.5 below), the Exercise Amount shall be paid to the Company within
five (5) business days of the termination of all HSR Act Restrictions.
2.2. Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of the payment methods set forth in
------------------
Section 2.1 (b) above, the Holder may elect to exchange all or some of the
Warrant for shares of Common Stock equal to the value of the amount of the
Warrant being exchanged on the date of exchange. If Holder elects to exchange

issue to Holder the number of shares of the Common Stock computed using the

calculation).
A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common Stock.
B = Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
All references herein to an "exercise" of the Warrant shall include an
exchange pursuant to this Section 2.2. Upon receipt of a written notice of the
Company's intention to raise capital by selling shares of Common Stock in an IPO
(the "IPO Notice"), which notice shall be delivered to Holder at least forty-
----------
five (45) but not more than ninety (90) days before the anticipated date of the
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement
associated with the IPO, the Holder shall promptly notify the Company whether or
not the Holder will exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.2 prior to
consummation of the IPO. Notwithstanding whether or not an IPO Notice has been
delivered to Holder or any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary, if
Holder decides to exercise this Warrant while a registration statement is on
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with
---
the IPO, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised on the consummation of the IPO
and the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock will be the price at which
one share of Common Stock was sold to the public in the IPO. If Holder has
elected to exercise this Warrant
3
pursuant to this Section 2.2 while a registration statement is on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with an IPO and the IPO is not
consummated, then Holder's exercise of this Warrant shall not be effective
unless Holder confirms in writing Holder's intention to go forward with the
exercise of this Warrant.
2.3. "Easy Sale" Exercise. In lieu of the payment methods set forth in
-------------------
Section 2.1(b) above, when permitted by law and applicable regulations
(including Nasdaq and NASD rules), the Holder may pay the Exercise Amount
through a "same day sale" commitment from the Holder (and if applicable a
broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers
(a "NASD Dealer")), whereby the Holder irrevocably elects to exercise this
Warrant and to sell at least that number of Shares so purchased to pay the
Exercise Amount (and up to all of the Shares so purchased) and the Holder (or,
if applicable, the NASD Dealer) commits upon sale (or, in the case of the NASD
Dealer, upon receipt) of such Shares to forward the Exercise Amount directly to
the Company, with any sale proceeds in excess of the Exercise Amount being for
the benefit of the Holder.
2.4. Stock Certificates: Fractional Shares. As soon as practicable on or
-------------------------------------
after the date this Warrant is exercised, the Company shall issue and deliver to
the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates
for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share equal to such fraction of
the current Fair Market Value of one whole share of Common Stock as of the date
of exercise of this Warrant. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.
2.5. HSR Act. The Company hereby acknowledges that exercise of this
-------
Warrant by Holder may subject the Company and/or the Holder to the filing
requirements of the HSR Act and that Holder may be prevented from exercising
this Warrant until the expiration or early termination of all waiting periods
imposed by the HSR Act ("HSR Act Restrictions"). If on or before the Expiration
Date Holder has sent the Notice of Exercise to Company and Holder has not been
able to complete the exercise of this Warrant prior to the Expiration Date
because of HSR Act Restrictions, the Holder shall be entitled to complete the
process of exercising this Warrant in accordance with the procedures contained
herein notwithstanding the fact that completion of the exercise of this Warrant
would take place after the Expiration Date.
2.6. Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise. In case of any partial
--------------------------------------------
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender
hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for
the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of
business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. However,
if Holder is subject to HSR Act filing requirements this Warrant shall be deemed
to have been exercised on the date immediately following the date of the
expiration of all HSR Act Restrictions. The person entitled to receive the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated
for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of
business on the date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.
4
2.7. Sale of the Company. In the Event of a Sale of the Company, the
-------------------
Company shall give written notice to the Holder of such Sale of the Company not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the closing date thereof. This Warrant
shall automatically be exercised pursuant to Section 2.2 above immediately
preceding the closing of such Sale of the Company (the "Sale"), if not
previously exercised, unless the Holder shall notify the Company prior to the
Sale that this Warrant is not to be so exercised; provided that noting in this
sentence shall extend the term of the Warrant beyond the Expiration Date. The
exercise pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be contingent upon the actual
closing of the Sale of the Company. If such closing does not occur, the
exercise pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall not be effected.
3. VALID ISSUANCE: TAXES. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the
Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed
in respect of the issue or delivery thereof. The Company shall not be required
to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved
in the issuance of any certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other
than that of the Registered Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security
until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the
Company's reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or
other securities or property receivable or issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the
following events:
4.1. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of
------------------------------------------------------------------
Shares. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased
------
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or
subdivision of the Company's Common Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant
shall be proportionally increased and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other
securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be
proportionally decreased to reflect any combination of the Company's Common
Stock.
4.2. Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions of Stock or Other
-----------------------------------------------------------
Securities or Property. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a
----------------------
record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a
dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock (or any shares
of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant)
payable in (a) securities of the Company or (b) assets (excluding cash dividends
paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such case, the
Holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation,
effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, shall
receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the
payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other
assets of the Company to
5
which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Holder had
exercised this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period
from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such
shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during
such period giving effect to all adjustments called for by this Section 4.
4.3. Reclassification. If the Company, by reclassification of securities
----------------
or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights
under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of
any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to
acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the
result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the
purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or
other change and the Purchase Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted,
all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. No adjustment
shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3 upon any conversion or redemption of
the Common Stock which is the subject of Section 4.5.
4.4. Adjustment for Capital Reorganization: Merger Consolidation. In case
-----------------------------------------------------------
of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise
provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the
Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the
Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of
this Warrant, subject to an Early Termination Event, during the period specified
herein and upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the number of
shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation
resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that
a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been
entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 4. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations,
mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other
corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares in
connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable
securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors)
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect
to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that
the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as
reasonably maybe, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after
that event upon exercise of this Warrant.
4.5. Conversion of Common Stock. In case all or any portion of the
--------------------------
authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or
converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise
ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise
hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or
converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the "Termination Date'), shall
receive, in lieu of the number of shares
6
of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately
prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been
received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Common Stock
received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the
Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant.
Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable
immediately prior to the Termination Date by (y) the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the
Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
5. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment in the
Purchase Price, or number or type of shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, the Chief Financial Officer or Controller of the Company shall compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon
which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the adjusted Purchase
Price. The Company shall promptly send (by facsimile and by either first class
mail, postage prepaid or overnight delivery) a copy of each such certificate to
the Holder.
6. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case
of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will
execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
7. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company hereby covenants that at all times
there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant
such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the
Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and,
from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Articles of
Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and
when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other
encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive
rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state
securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the
Company's officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates
to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock and
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
8. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant
and compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder may be transferred to any Registered Holder's parent, subsidiary or
affiliate, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such
purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the
Registered Holder hereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary
transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Upon any
permitted partial transfer, the
7
Company will issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a new Warrant or
Warrants with respect to the shares of Common Stock not so transferred. Each
taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and
agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the person in
possession of this Warrant may be treated by the Company, and all other persons
dealing with this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as
the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, any notice to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided, however that until a transfer of this
Warrant is duly registered on the books of the Company, the Company may treat
the Registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.
9. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that,
absent an effective registration statement filed with the SEC under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act), covering the disposition or
sale of this Warrant or the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof
or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, as the case may be, and
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, such
Holder will not sell, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate any or all such Warrants
or Common Stock, as the case may be, unless either (i) the Company has received
an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such registration is not required in connection with
such disposition or (ii) the sale of such securities is made pursuant to SEC
Rule 144.
10. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. By acceptance of this Warrant, the holder
hereby represents, Warrants and covenants that any shares of stock purchased
upon exercise of this Warrant or acquired upon conversion thereof shall be
acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection
with, any distribution thereof; that the Holder has had such opportunity as such
Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such
information as is necessary to permit the Holder to evaluate the merits and
risks of its investment in the company; that the Holder is able to bear the
economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired pursuant to the exercise
of this Warrant for an indefinite period; that the Holder understands that the
shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant or acquired
upon conversion thereof will not be registered under the 1933 Act (unless
otherwise required pursuant to exercise by the Holder of the registration
rights, if any, previously granted to the registered Holder) and will be
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act and
that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at
least one year from the date of exercise of this Warrant, subject to
any special treatment by the SEC for exercise of this Warrant pursuant to
Section 2.2, and even then will not be available unless a public market then
exists for the stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then
available to the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied
with; and that all stock certificates representing shares of stock issued to the
Holder upon exercise of this Warrant or upon conversion of such shares may have
affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
8
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS
PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT
TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT
THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN
INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE
EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT
AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
11. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS STOCKHOLDERS. This Warrant shall not entitle
the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
In the absence of affirmative action by such Holder to purchase Common Stock by
exercise of this Warrant no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof shall cause such Holder
hereof to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose.
12. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be "Registrable Securities" or such other definition of
securities entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Company's Fourth

registration rights granted to holders of Registrable Securities thereunder.
13. NOTICES. All notices and other communication from the Company to the Holder

incorporation or bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger,

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 such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Registered Holder of this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such
exercise, and (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-
assessable shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.
17. NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In case:
9

Warrant), for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other

reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be delivered at least
