No. W-1 Warrant to Subscribe
October 17, 1996 for 5,376.34 Shares
STOCK SUBSCRIPTION WARRANT
To Subscribe for and Purchase Class A Common Stock
of Corinthian Colleges, Inc.
THIS CERTIFIES that The Prudential Insurance Company of America
("PRUDENTIAL"), or registered assigns, is entitled to subscribe for and purchase
from Corinthian Colleges, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at the
price of $0.01 per share at any time after the date hereof to and including the
Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), 5,376.34 duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock (as hereinafter defined in paragraph 8), as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to the terms hereof. This Warrant is issued for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged.
This Warrant was issued in connection with the Note Purchase and Revolving
Credit Agreement, dated as of October 17, 1996, between the Company and
Prudential (the "NOTE AGREEMENT"), under which the Company sold to Prudential
$22,500,000 principal amount of the Company's 10.27% Senior Secured Term Notes
due October 17, 2003 (the "TERM NOTES"). The "EXPIRATION DATE" shall be the
earlier of (a) October 17, 2003, or (b) the date which is six months after the
date upon which the entire outstanding principal amount of, accrued interest on,
and any Yield-Maintenance Amount (as defined in the Note Agreement) or any other
amount due with respect to the Term Notes has been indefeasibly paid in cash.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:
1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares. The rights
------------------------------------------------------
represented by this Warrant may be exercised from time to time by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock),
by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed if required) at the
principal office of the Company at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000 Attention: Chief Financial Officer (or such other office
or agency of the Company 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 at any time within the period above
named) and upon payment to the Company by certified check, bank draft or wire
transfer of the Warrant Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined in paragraph
3A(1)) for the shares being purchased upon such exercise. The Company agrees
that the shares so purchased shall be and are deemed to be issued to the holder
hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such
shares as aforesaid. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 below,
certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to
the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten business days,
after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised
(unless such exercise shall be in connection with an underwritten public
offering of shares of Common Stock, in which event concurrently with such
exercise), and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the
number of shares of Common Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant
shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the holder hereof
within such time.
2. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants
----------------------------------------------
and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued directly or
indirectly upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will,
upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue thereof; and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from
time to time take all such action as may be requisite to assure that the par
value (if any) per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less
than the then effective Warrant Purchase Price per share of the Common Stock
issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees
that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company
will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of
Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon
which any class of Common Stock of the Company may be listed. The Company will
not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Warrant Purchase
Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action
upon exercise of this Warrant, together with all shares of Common Stock then
outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all
Options (as hereinafter defined) (other than this Warrant) and upon conversion
of all Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined) then outstanding, would
exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

3. Warrant Purchase Price. The above provisions are, however, subject to
----------------------
the following:
3A. Warrant Purchase Price; Adjustment of Number of Shares.
------------------------------------------------------
3A(1). Warrant Purchase Price. The initial Warrant Purchase Price of
----------------------
$0.01 per share shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided (such price or price as last adjusted, as the case may be, being herein
called the "WARRANT PURCHASE PRICE").
3A(2). Adjustment of Number of Shares When Adjustment of Warrant Purchase
------------------------------------------------------------------
Price. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Purchase Price, the holder of this
-----
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the
Warrant Purchase 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 Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment.
3A(3). Special Adjustment of Number of Shares.
--------------------------------------
(i) If on or before October 17, 1998, a Trigger Event (as hereinafter
defined) shall occur, then, if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
which the holder of this Warrant would then be entitled to purchase upon the
exercise of this Warrant is not less than 3.25% of the aggregate number of the
Fully Diluted Shares on the date of such Trigger Event, the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
purchase upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted on the date of the
occurrence of such Trigger Event to be equal to 3.25% of the aggregate number of
the Fully Diluted Shares on the date of such Trigger Event. For the purposes
of this Warrant: (a) "TRIGGER EVENT" shall mean either (1) the consummation by
the Company of a Qualified Equity Offering and the use of the proceeds therefrom
to prepay, pursuant to paragraph 4B(1) of the Note Agreement, the entire
required principal prepayment of the Term Notes due on October 17, 1998 under
paragraph 4A of the Note Agreement (and, if not already paid pursuant to such
paragraph 4A, the entire required principal prepayment of the Term Notes due on
October 17, 1997 under such paragraph 4A), together with interest accrued
thereon, or (2) Consolidated EBITDA for the Company and its Subsidiaries for any
period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending with any fiscal quarter ended
on or after June 30, 1997 is greater than or equal to $15,000,000, (b)
"CONSOLIDATED EBITDA" shall mean as to any period, Consolidated Net Income for
such period, plus Consolidated Interest Expense for such period, plus all
amounts deducted for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization in calculating
Consolidated Net Income for such period, (c) "FULLY DILUTED SHARES" shall mean
on any date all
3
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, plus all shares of Common Stock
which would be outstanding on such date if all Options and Convertible
Securities (including this Warrant) outstanding on such date, and all Options
and Convertible Securities issuable upon the full exercise of all then
outstanding Options and Convertible Securities, in either case whether or not
then exercisable under the terms thereof, were fully exercised on such date, (d)
"QUALIFIED EQUITY OFFERING", "SUBSIDIARIES", "CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME", and
"CONSOLIDATED INTEREST EXPENSE" shall have the meanings given in the Note
Agreement, and (e) "OPTIONS" and "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES" shall mean the
meanings given in Section 3D(1) hereof.
(ii) If on or after the date of the original issuance of this Warrant and
on or prior to the date of the consummation by the Company of an Initial Public
Offering the Company shall issue any Options, whether or not such Options are
immediately exercisable, then the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
which the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be adjusted on the date of such issuance to equal the
number which is the same percentage of the number of Fully Diluted Shares
immediately after such issuance and adjustment (calculated after giving effect
to the provisions in any other outstanding Options) as the percentage which the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant is
entitled to purchase immediately before such issuance is of the Fully Diluted
Shares immediately before such issuance. If an adjustment is made pursuant to
this paragraph 3A(3)(ii) as the result of the issuance of any Option, then no
adjustment to the Warrant Purchase Price or the number of shares issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be made under any other provision of this
Warrant as a result of (a) the issuance of such Option, (b) any increase to the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable under any other outstanding Options
under the adjustment provisions thereof as a result of the issuance of such
Option, (c) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such
Option, or (d) the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of such other outstanding Options. For the purposes hereof an "Initial
Public Offering" shall mean the first offer and sale to the public by the
Company or any holder of shares of Common Stock, pursuant to a registration
statement that has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission; provided, however, that the gross proceeds of the shares issued and
sold by the Company are at least $20,000,000.
3B. Adjustment of Warrant Purchase Price Upon Purchase of Common Stock by
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Company. If the Company directly or indirectly through a subsidiary or
-------
otherwise, purchases, redeems or otherwise acquires any of its Common Stock
(other than a purchase or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock from a
former employee of the Company or a subsidiary in connection with the
termination of the employment of such employee with the Company or any
Subsidiary) at a price per share greater than the Market Price then in effect,
4
then the Warrant Purchase Price upon each such purchase, redemption or
acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such
Warrant Purchase Price existing at that time by a fraction (i) the numerator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such
shares of Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the
Market Price; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such purchase, redemption or
acquisition. For the purposes of this paragraph, the date as of which the Market
Price shall be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the
Company shall enter into a firm contract for the purchase, redemption or
acquisition of such Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual purchase, redemption
or acquisition of such Common Stock. For the purposes of this paragraph, a
purchase, redemption or acquisition of any Options or Convertible Securities
shall be deemed to be a purchase of the underlying Common Stock, and the
computation herein required shall be made on the basis of the full exercise,
conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security on the date as
of which such computation is required hereby to be made even if such Option or
right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is not exercisable
on such date.
3C. Adjustment of Warrant Purchase Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Except as provided in paragraph 3G and except that no adjustment will be made
pursuant to this paragraph 3C when an adjustment is made pursuant to paragraph
3F or paragraph 3A(3)(ii), if and whenever after the date hereof the Company
shall issue or sell any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share
less than the 95% of the Market Price (as defined in Section 3D(8) hereof) of at
the time of such issue or sale, then, forthwith upon such issue or sale, the
Warrant Purchase Price shall be reduced to the lower of the prices (calculated
to the nearest one-thousandth cent) determined as follows:
(1) by dividing (i) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied
by the Market Price at the time of such sale, and (b) the aggregate
consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale, by (ii)
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
issue or sale; and
(2) by multiplying the Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to the time of such issue or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the Market Price of such Common Stock
immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (ii) the
5
consideration received by the Company upon such issue or sale, and the
denominator of which shall be the product of (iii) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by
(iv) the Market Price of such Common Stock immediately prior to such issue or
sale.
Adjustments of the Warrant Purchase Price shall be made in fractions of a cent
per share to the nearest one-thousandth ($.00001) per share.
3D. Factors Affecting Adjustments. For all purposes of this paragraph 3,
-----------------------------
the following provisions shall also be applicable:
3D(1). Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time after the date
-----------------------------
hereof the Company shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption
in a merger or otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any
options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein
called "OPTIONS" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being
herein called "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES") whether or not such Options or the right
to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately
exercisable (where no adjustment as a result of such issuance is made pursuant
to paragraph 3A(3)(ii)), and the price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if
any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of
such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration
payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case
of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii)
the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than 95% of
the Market Price of such Common Stock in effect immediately prior to the time of
the granting of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange
of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such Options shall (as of the date of granting of such Options) be
deemed to be outstanding (and included as Common Stock outstanding for purposes
of paragraphs 3B and 3C) and to have been issued for such price per share.
Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 3D(3) below, no adjustment or further
adjustment (as the case may be) of the Warrant Purchase Price shall be made upon
the actual issue of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of
Options or upon the actual issue of Common Stock upon
6
conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (whether or not the granting or
issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment of
the Warrant Purchase Price).
3D(2). Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in
----------------------------------
any manner issue (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or
sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or
convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by
dividing (i) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities) shall be less than 95% of the Market Price of such
Common Stock on the date of such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities,
then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of the
issue or sale of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding (and
included as Common Stock for purposes of paragraphs 3B and 3C) and to have been
issued for such price per share, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided
in paragraph 3D(3) below, no adjustment or further adjustment (as the case may
be) of the Warrant Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issue of Common
Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities whether or not the
granting or issuance of such Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment in
the Warrant Purchase Price, and (b) if any issue or sale of Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options, no further adjustment of the
Warrant Purchase Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale (whether or
not the granting or issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted
in an adjustment of the Warrant Purchase Price).
3D(3). Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of
-----------------------------------------
any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any
Option referred to in paragraph 3D(1), the additional consideration, if any,
payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred
to in paragraph 3D(1) or 3D(2), or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
referred to in paragraph 3D(1) or 3D(2) are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Warrant Purchase Price in
effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Warrant
Purchase Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase
price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the
time initially granted, issued or sold; and on the expiration of any such Option
or the termination of any such right to convert or exchange such Convertible
7
Securities, the Warrant Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith
be increased to the Warrant Purchase Price which would have been in effect at
the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible
Security, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or
termination, never been issued, and the Common Stock issuable thereunder shall
no longer be deemed to be outstanding. If the purchase price provided for in
any such Option referred to in paragraph 3D(1) or the rate at which any
Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph 3D(1) or 3D(2) are convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock, shall be reduced at any time under or by
reason of provisions with respect thereto designed to protect against dilution
other than as a result of a stock dividend or stock split which results in an
adjustment of the Warrant Purchase Price, then in case of the delivery of Common
Stock upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any
such Convertible Security, the Warrant Purchase Price then in effect hereunder
shall forthwith be adjusted to such amount as would have obtained had such
Option or Convertible Security never been issued as to such Common Stock and had
adjustments been made upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock delivered
as aforesaid, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Warrant Purchase
Price then in effect hereunder is thereby reduced.
3D(4). Stock Dividends. In case the Company shall declare a dividend or
---------------
make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company payable in Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, any Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend
or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without
consideration.
3D(5). Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock,
-----------------------
Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, or offered
by the Company for subscription, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor plus any additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange
of such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, excluding any amounts
paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and after deducting
therefrom any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions
paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. In case any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
consideration as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, after
deducting any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions
paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. The amount of
consideration deemed to be received by the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph 3D(5) upon any issuance and/or sale, pursuant to an
established compensation plan of the Company, to directors, officers or
employees of the Company in
8
connection with their employment, of shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, shall be increased by the amount of any tax benefit
realized by the Company as a result of such issuance and/or sale, the amount of
such tax benefit being the amount by which the Federal and/or State income or
other tax liability of the Company shall be reduced by reason of any deduction
or credit in respect of such issuance and/or sale. In case any shares of Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any
merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of
consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value as determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company of such portion of the assets and business of
the non-surviving corporation as such Board shall determine to be attributable
to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities as the case may be. In
case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other
securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which
no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto,
such Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. In the
event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not
the surviving corporation or in the event of any sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any
corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of
its Common Stock for stock or securities of the other corporation computed on
the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated
and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such
transaction of such stock or securities of the other corporation, and if any
such calculation results in adjustment of the Warrant Purchase Price, the
determination of the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon exercise
of the Warrants immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, for
purposes of paragraph 3D, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment
of the Warrant Purchase Price. In all cases where the amount of consideration
received by the Company upon the issuance or sale of any Common Stock, Options,
or Convertible Securities is to be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company, the Board shall notify the holder of this Warrant of its determination
of the consideration prior to payment or accepting receipt thereof. If, within
ten days after receipt of said notice, the holder of this Warrant shall notify
the Board of any objection to such determination of consideration, a
determination of the fair market value of the consideration will then be made by
arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration
Association, by an arbitrator in the City of San Francisco, California.
3D(6). Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the
-----------
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in
Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be
the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed
9
to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making
of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
3D(7). Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
---------------
at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account
of the Company, and the subsequent issuance of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purposes of paragraph 3D.
3D(8). Definition of Market Price. "Market Price" for any particular
--------------------------
class of Common Stock shall mean the average of the closing prices of the Common
Stock sales on all domestic exchanges on which such class of Common Stock may at
the time be listed, or, if there shall have been no sales on any such exchange
on any such day, the average of the bid prices at the end of such day, or, if
such class of Common Stock is not listed, the average of the high and low bid
prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor organization,
in each such case averaged over a period of 20 consecutive business days prior
to the date as of which "Market Price" is being determined; provided that if
such class of Common Stock is listed on any domestic exchange the term "business
days" as used in this sentence shall mean business days on which such exchange
is open for trading. If at any time such Common Stock is not listed on any
domestic exchange or quoted in the domestic over-the-counter market, the "Market
Price" shall be deemed to be an amount mutually agreed upon in writing between
the Company and the holder of this Warrant within 15 days immediately following
the date on which the Market Price is to be determined and shall be the Market
Price for purposes of such date. If no agreement as to Market Price is
determined as stated herein, (i) the holder of this Warrant and the Company
shall mutually agree upon the selection of an independent appraiser who shall
then determine Market Price (and whose determination shall be binding upon the
parties), but if no agreement on the selection of the appraiser is obtained
within 20 days after the expiration of said 15 day period, (ii) the holder of
this Warrant and the Company shall each select an independent appraiser who
shall, independently of the other appraiser, determine the fair market value of
the Common Stock of the Company. If the value determined by the appraiser whose
determination is the higher of the two appraisals does not exceed by more than
twenty percent (20%) the average of the values determined by each appraiser,
then the Market Price shall be the average of the values determined by the two
appraisers and said average shall be binding on the parties. If the value
determined by the appraiser whose determination is the higher of the two
appraisals does exceed by more than twenty percent (20%) the average of the
values determined by each appraiser, then the two appraisers shall select a
third independent appraiser who shall, independently of the other appraisals,
determine the fair market value of the Common Stock of the Company. The value
determined by the appraiser whose determination is the most
10
discrepant from the average of the three appraisals shall be discarded, and the
Market Price shall equal the average of the remaining two appraisals; except
that in the event that the highest and lowest appraisals are equally discrepant
from the average of the three appraisals, the Market Price shall be such average
and said average shall be binding on the parties. The Company shall bear the
expenses of all appraisals except the holder of this Warrant shall pay the
expenses of the appraiser selected by the holder of this Warrant under clause
(ii).
3D(9). Determination of Market Price under Certain Circumstances.
---------------------------------------------------------
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in case the Company shall issue
any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities in connection with
the acquisition by the Company of the stock or assets of any other corporation
or the merger of any other corporation into the Company under circumstances
where on the date of the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities the consideration received for such Common Stock or
deemed to have been received for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such
Options or into which such Convertible Securities are convertible is less than
95% of the Market Price of such Common Stock, but on the date when the number of
shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (or in the case of
Convertible Securities other than stock, the aggregate principal amount of
Convertible Securities) was determined (as set forth in a binding agreement
between the Company and the other party to the transaction) the consideration
received for such Common Stock or deemed to have been received for the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options or into which such Convertible
Securities are convertible was not less than 95% of the Market Price of such
Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been
issued for less than 95% of the Market Price of such Common Stock.
3E. Liquidating Dividends. The Company will not declare a dividend upon
---------------------
the Common Stock payable otherwise than out of consolidated earnings or
consolidated earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for
minority interests, if any, in subsidiaries, and otherwise than in Common Stock,
unless the Company shall pay over to the holder of this Warrant, on the dividend
payment date, the cash, stock or other securities and other property which the
holder of this Warrant would have received if such holder had exercised this
Warrant in full to purchase Common Stock and had been the record holder of such
Common Stock on the date on which a record is taken for the purpose of such
dividend, or, if a record is not taken, the date as of which the holders of
Common Stock of record entitled to such dividend are to be determined. For the
purposes of the foregoing a dividend other than in cash shall be considered
payable out of earnings or surplus (other than revaluation or paid-in surplus)
only to the extent that such earnings or surplus are charged an amount equal to
the fair value of such dividend as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
11
3F. Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall at any
-----------------------------------
time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall be proportionately increased. For purposes hereof,
such subdivision or combination shall be deemed to have occurred on the earlier
of the date of such event or the record date for determining holders whose
shares of Common Stock are subject to such subdivision or combination.
3G. Certain Issues of Common Stock Excepted. Anything herein to the
---------------------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any
adjustment of the Warrant Purchase Price in the case of (i) the issuance of
Common Stock upon the exercise of the Equity Sponsor Warrants (as defined in the
Note Agreement), so long as the terms of such Equity Sponsor Warrants, as in
effect on the date hereof, are not amended or modified, or (ii) the grant of
Options after the date of the consummation by the Company of an Initial Public
Offering to employees, officers, or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary
pursuant to any option plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company to
purchase up to an aggregate of 14,375 shares of Common Stock and the issuance of
Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options.
3H. Merger or Sale. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of
--------------
the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company
with another Person (regardless of which entity is the surviving entity), or the
sale of all or substantially all of its assets to Person corporation shall be
effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
stock, securities or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for
Common Stock, then, as a condition to such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions (in form
reasonably satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant) shall be made whereby the
holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the
basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of
the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby,
such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as may be issued or
payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock which immediately
theretofore were purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented hereby had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger or sale not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall
be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder of this Warrant
to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions
for adjustments of the Warrant Purchase Price and of the number of shares
purchasable and receivable upon the
12
exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be,
in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash)
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. In the event of a merger or
consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary with or into another Person as a
result of which a number of shares of common stock or other equity interests of
the surviving Person greater or less than the number of shares of Common Stock
of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are
issuable to holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Warrant Purchase
Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be
adjusted in the same manner as though there were a subdivision or combination of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. The Company will not
effect any consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation
thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall
assume by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holder of
this Warrant) executed and mailed or delivered to the registered holder hereof
at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the
obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets
(including cash) as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder
may be entitled to purchase. If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to
and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company, the Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger or
sale with the Person having made such offer or with any Affiliate of such
Person, unless prior to the consummation or such consolidation, merger or sale
the holder of this Warrant shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to
then elect to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant either the stock,
securities or assets then issuable with respect to the Common Stock of the
Company or the stock, securities or assets (including cash), or the equivalent,
issued to previous holders of the Common Stock in accordance with such offer as
if the shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant had been
issued. The term "PERSON" as used in this hereof shall mean and include an
individual, a partnership, a corporation, a trust, a joint venture, an
unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency
thereof. For the purposes of this paragraph 3H, an "AFFILIATE" of any Person
shall mean any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with, such other Person. A Person shall be
deemed to control a corporation if such Person possesses, directly or
indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of such corporation, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by contract or otherwise. For purposes of this Warrant, a
corporation is a "SUBSIDIARY" of another corporation (the "PARENT") if a
majority of the subsidiary's outstanding shares of capital stock ordinarily
entitled to vote for the election of directors (excluding stock which is
entitled to vote in the election of directors only upon the happening of some
contingency such as failure to pay dividends)
13
is owned by the parent and/or one or more of the parent's subsidiaries. A
corporation is also the subsidiary of another corporation if its parent is a
subsidiary of such other corporation.
3I. Accountants' Report as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment
-------------------------------------
in the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant and cause independent public
accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Company (which may
be the regular auditors of the Company) to verify such computation and prepare a
report setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable
detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or to be received by the Company for any shares of Common
Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (b) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Warrant
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted
and readjusted (if required by paragraph 3) on account thereof. The Company
will forthwith mail a copy of each such report to the holder of this Warrant and
will, upon the written request at any time of any holder of this Warrant,
furnish to each such holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Purchase
Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was
calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its
principal office and will cause the same to be available for inspection at such
office during normal business hours by the holder or holders of this Warrant or
any prospective purchaser of this Warrant designated by the holder or holders
thereof.
3J. Other Notices. In case at any time:
-------------
(1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock
payable at a rate in excess of the rate of the last cash dividend theretofore
paid;
(2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable
in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution (other than regular
cash dividends) to the holders of its Common Stock;
(3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of
its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(4) there shall be any capital reorganization, or reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or
sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or
14
(5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation of
winding up of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give, by first class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder
as shown on the books of the Company, (a) at least 35 days' prior written notice
of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be
taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining
rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (b) in
the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 35 days' prior written
notice of the earliest date when the same shall take place. Such notice in
accordance with the foregoing clause (a) shall also specify, in the case of any
such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance
with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the date (if then known, and if
not then known, then the holder of this Warrant shall be advised thereof when
known) on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their
Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.
3K. Certain Events. If any event occurs as to which, in the opinion of
--------------
the Board of Directors of the Company, the other provisions of this paragraph 3
are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect
the purchase rights of the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and
principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall
make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with
such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such purchase rights as
aforesaid, but in no event shall any such adjustment have the effect of
increasing the Warrant Purchase Price or decreasing the number of underlying
shares of Common Stock as otherwise determined pursuant to this paragraph 3,
except in the event of a combination of shares of the type contemplated in
paragraph 3F and then in no event to an amount larger than the Warrant Purchase
Price as adjusted pursuant to paragraph 3F.
4. Financial and Other Information. The Company covenants that it will
-------------------------------
deliver to each Holder (as defined in Section 11 hereof) by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the address of such Holder as shown on the books
of the Company:

provided, however, that delivery within such time period of the Company's

that delivery within such time period of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-

accepted accounting principles or Company accounting practices (which notice
shall describe such event and the effect, if any, of such event or change on
17
the Company's results of operations, financial condition or compliance with this
Agreement in reasonable detail).
5. Registration. If either this Warrant or any shares of Common Stock
------------
required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or
State law, or listing on any domestic securities exchange, before such shares
may be issued upon exercise, the Company will, at its expense, as expeditiously
as possible, use its best efforts to cause such Warrant and such shares to be
duly registered or approved or listed on the relevant domestic securities
exchange, as the case may be.
6. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock
---------
upon the exercise of Warrants shall be made without charge to the holders of
such Warrants for any issuance tax in respect thereof, provided that the Company
shall not be required to pay any tax 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 holder of the Warrant exercised.
7. Closing of Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer books
----------------
against the transfer of any Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant in any manner which interferes with
the timely exercise of this Warrant.
8. Definition of Common Stock. As used in this Warrant the term "COMMON
--------------------------
STOCK" shall mean and include the Company's authorized Class A Common Stock of
the par value of $0.01 per share and the Company's authorized Class B Common
Stock of the par value of $0.01 per share as constituted under the provisions of
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, and shall also include any capital
stock of any class of the Company thereafter authorized which shall not be
limited to either a fixed sum or a percentage of its par or stated value in
respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or in
the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company; provided that, except as provided in
paragraph 3H, the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only
shares designated as Class A Common Stock of the Company under the provisions of
said Certificate of Incorporation, or, in case of any reclassification of the
outstanding shares thereof, the stock, securities or assets provided for in
paragraph 3H.
9. No Participation Preferred Stock. Subject to the rights granted to the
--------------------------------
holder of this Warrant pursuant to paragraph 3H, so long as this Warrant remains
outstanding, the Company will not issue any capital stock of any class preferred
as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless the rights of the
holders thereof with respect to such dividends or distributions
18
shall be limited to either a fixed sum or a percentage of par or stated value of
such stock in respect of participation in dividends and in the distribution of
such assets.
10. No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder. Nothing contained in this
---------------------------------------
Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof any rights as a
stockholder of the Company or as imposing any liabilities on such holder to
purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors or stockholders of the
Company or otherwise.
11. Appraisal Rights. In the case of any capital reorganization or
----------------
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or
merger of the Company with another Person (regardless of which entity is the
surviving entity), or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person (a "TRANSACTION"), the Company shall, not less than 20 days prior to the
meeting of stockholders to be held for the purpose of voting on such proposed
Transaction (or, if no such meeting of stockholder is to be held, not less than
20 days prior to the consummation of such Transaction) provide notice to the
holder of this Warrant and to the holder of any shares of Common Stock issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant (a "HOLDER") of such proposed Transaction and
all material terms thereof and stating that appraisal rights are available under
this Section 11. Each Holder shall have the right to demand an appraisal of
this Warrant or such shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, by delivering a
demand therefor to the Company prior to the taking of the vote at such meeting
of stockholders or consummation of such Transaction, as the case may be. Each
Holder who has made such demand shall be entitled to be paid cash by the Company
or the entity surviving such Transaction, as applicable, for this Warrant or
such shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, within 15 days after the
consummation of such Transaction, in an amount equal to the fair market value of
this Warrant or such shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, as determined
by an independent investment banker (with an established national reputation as
a valuer of equity securities) selected by the Company with the approval of such
Holders, such fair market value to be determined with regard to all material
relevant factors but without regard to any effects arising from the
accomplishment of such Transaction. Any Holder accepting such payment shall not
receive rights under Section 3H hereof with respect to such Transaction or any
consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company with respect to such
shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, but any Holder may withdraw such
demand prior to the time such Holder accepts the payment under this Section 11
and accept such Holder's rights under Section 3H hereof or such consideration,
as the case may be.
12. Warrants Transferable. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are
---------------------
transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof, at the
office or agency of the Company referred
19
to in paragraph 1 by the holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, provided that such holder or
its transferee pays any applicable stamp or transfer taxes. Each taker and
holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that
this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the
holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, 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 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 for
all purposes.
13. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
-----------------------
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant (but for which a surety shall not be required if the holder of this
Warrant is Prudential or any other institutional investor), upon delivery of
unsecured indemnity agreement from such holder reasonably satisfactory to the
Company in form and amount or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender of this Warrant for cancellation at the principal office of the
Company, the Company will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of
like tenor dated the date hereof.
14. Acknowledgment by Company. The Company will, at the time of or at any
-------------------------
time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof
or of any shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise, acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder all rights to which
such holder shall continue to be entitled, after such exercise in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant, provided, that if any such holder shall fail to
make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of
the Company to afford such rights to such holder.
15. Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of Warrant. The rights and
--------------------------------------------------
obligations of the Company, of the holder of this Warrant, and of the holder of
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, contained in
paragraphs 4, 5 and 11 hereof shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.
16. Warrants Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is
-------------------------------------------------
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the office or
agency of the Company referred to in paragraph 1, 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. All warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the
date hereof and shall
20
be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant hereto.
17. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the
--------
holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the
Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this
Warrant are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the
specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction
against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
18. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed,
-------------
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the
party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought. The agreements of the Company contained in this Warrant are binding
upon the Company, its successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by any holder or holders at the time of any Common
Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant whether so expressed or not.
19. Descriptive Headings and Governing Law. The descriptive headings of
--------------------------------------
the several paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do
not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by,
the law of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of laws.
