BOREALIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This Warrant is being issued to__________________ (the "Holder") in
connection with the Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated
_____________, 1998 between the Holder and Borealis Technology Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"). This Warrant entitles the Holder to
subscribe for and purchase up to __________ shares (the "Maximum Number of
Shares") of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock of the Company (the
"Shares") (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof) at the price of $1.50 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. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. This Warrant
may be exercised by the Holder hereof at any time on or prior to ___________,
2000. Exercise shall be made, 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 of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Shares being purchased, which amount may be paid in cash or by check. In the
event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates
for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within a
reasonable time and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a
new Warrant representing that portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to
which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised, shall also be issued to
the Holder within such reasonable time.
2. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Shares issuable
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance
and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable.
During the period within which the rights represented by 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 exercise of
the rights represented by this Warrant.
3. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. Subject to the
provisions of Section 1 hereof, the number and kind of securities purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events,
as follows:
(a) In the event the Company shall at any time subdivide the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its
outstanding Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock
dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased, and in the event the Company shall at any time
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price
2
will be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the
date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.
(b) If the Company is recapitalized through the subdivision or
combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger or smaller
number of shares, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
may be exercised shall be increased or reduced in the same proportion as the
increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the then
applicable Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such number of shares
of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise hereof immediately prior to such
subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately following such subdivision or
combination.
(c) Whenever the number of shares shall be adjusted as required by
the provisions of this Section 3, the Company forthwith shall file in the
custody of its secretary or an assistant secretary, at its principal office, an
Officer's Certificate showing the adjusted number of shares and setting forth in
reasonable detail the circumstances requiring the adjustment. Each such
Officer's Certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times during
reasonable hours for inspection by the Holder.
4. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued in connection
with an exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional Shares the Company
shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in
effect.
5. Transfer, Exchange, Assignment or Loss of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant may not be assigned or transferred except as
provided in this Section 6 and in accordance with and subject to the provisions
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations
promulgated thereunder (said Act and such Rules and Regulations being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Act"). Any purported transfer or
assignment made other than in accordance with this Section 6 shall be null and
void and of no force and effect.
(b) Prior to any transfer of this Warrant, other than in an offering
registered under the Act, the Holder shall notify the Company of its intention
to effect such transfer, indicating the circumstances of the proposed transfer
and upon request furnish the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, to the effect that
the proposed transfer may be made without registration under the Act or
qualification under any applicable state securities law.
(c) Each certificate for Shares or for any other security issued or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend substantially to
the following effect:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). SUCH SECURITIES
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT
IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, SUCH
TRANSFER MAY BE MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE
ACT."
(d) Any assignment permitted hereunder shall be made by surrender of
this Warrant to the Company at its principal office with the Assignment Form
attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed. In such
-3-
3
event the Company shall, without charge for any issuance or transfer tax or
other cost incurred by the Company with respect to such transfer, execute and
deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of
assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be
divided or combined with other warrants which carry the same rights upon
presentation thereof at the principal office of the Company together with a
written notice signed by the Holder thereof, specifying the names and
denominations in which new warrants are to be issued.
(e)ab Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity
satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and
date and any such lost, stolen, or destroyed Warrant shall thereupon become
void.
6. Rights of Shareholders. No 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 or change of stock to no par value, consideration, 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.

postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or delivered personally by hand or by a
nationally recognized courier addressed to the Holder at the address last shown
on the records of the Company for the Holder. All such notices and other written
communications shall be effective on the earlier of the date of mailing,
confirmed facsimile transfer, delivery to the Holder or delivery to a nationally
recognized courier.
