VOID AFTER 5:30 P.M., NEW YORK CITY
TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE
THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ISSUED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT
ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN SECTION 2 OF
THIS WARRANT.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the conditions
hereinafter set forth, but no later than 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) to __________________________, or
registered assigns (the "Holder"), under the terms as hereinafter set forth,
______________________________ (______) fully paid and non-assessable shares of
the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Warrant Stock"), at a
purchase price per share of [Ten and 87/100 Dollars ($10.87)][Ten Dollars
($10.00)] (the "Warrant Price"), pursuant to this warrant (this "Warrant"). The
number of shares of Warrant Stock to be so issued and the Warrant Price are
subject to adjustment in certain events as hereinafter set forth. The term
"Common Stock" shall mean, when used herein, unless the context otherwise
requires, the stock and other securities and property at the time receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant.
This Warrant is one of a series of the Company's Warrants to purchase
Common Stock (collectively, the "Warrants"), issued pursuant to that certain
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 26, 1998, by and among the
Company, NAI Technologies, Inc. and DRS Merger Sub, Inc. (the "Agreement").
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings attributed to such terms in the Agreement.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) The Holder may exercise this Warrant according to its terms by
surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the address set forth in Section 10,
the subscription form attached hereto having then been duly executed by the
Holder, accompanied by cash, certified check or bank draft in payment of the
purchase price, in lawful money of the United States of America, for the number
of shares of the Warrant Stock specified in the subscription form, or as
otherwise provided in this Warrant prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on
February 15, 2002 (the "Expiration Date").
(b) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any
exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of factional shares of
Warrant Stock. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a
1
new Warrant, identical in form, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right
to purchase the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant has
not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer or the President and the Secretary or the Assistant Secretary
of the Company. The term Warrant as used herein shall include any subsequent
Warrant issued as provided herein.
(c) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of
fractions with respect to the Warrants based upon the fair market value of such
fractional shares of Common Stock (which shall be the closing price of such
shares on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded) at
the time of exercise of this Warrant.
(d) In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Stock so purchased,
registered in the name of the Holder, shall be delivered to the Holder within a
reasonable time after such rights shall have been so exercised. The person or
entity in whose name any certificate for the Warrant Stock is issued upon
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall for all purposes be
deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares immediately prior to
the close of business 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 opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer
books are open. Except as provided in Section 4 hereof, the Company shall pay
any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in
respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of this
Warrant.
2. Disposition of Warrant Stock and Warrant. If, at the time of issuance of the
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, no registration statement is in
effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the Company may at its election require
that any stock certificate delivered to the Holder of a surrendered Warrant bear
legends reading substantially as follows:
"TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE
SHARES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE COMPANY. COPIES OF THOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE ON
FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE COMPANY, AND NO TRANSFER OF SUCH
SHARES OR OF THIS CERTIFICATE, OR OF ANY
2
SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES (OR CERTIFICATES THEREFOR) ISSUED IN EXCHANGE
FOR OR IN RESPECT OF SUCH SHARES, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREIN SET FORTH SHALL HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH."
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT."
In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate
delivered to the Holder, the Company may maintain appropriate "stop transfer"
orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on
its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and
transfer functions.
3. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there
shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of
shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all shares which may be issued
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will be duly
authorized and will, upon issuance and against payment of the exercise price, be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, Liens,
charges and preemptive rights with respect to the issuance thereof, other than
taxes, if any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state
securities laws.
4. Exchange, Transfer, Assignment or Loss of Warrant. This Warrant is
exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation
and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer
agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the
Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares
of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the
Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the
Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, 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 that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the
office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any,
3
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which
new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.
5. Capital Adjustments. This Warrant is subject to the following further
provisions:
(a) Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession. If any
recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any
merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other
business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets or of any successor corporation's assets to any other
corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity
being included within the meaning of the term "successor corporation") shall be
effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired,
then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made
whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive
upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 and in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant,
such shares of capital stock, securities or other property 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 Common Stock immediately
theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such
recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer not
taken place, and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be
applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while
this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its
Common Stock, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of
this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.
(c) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its
Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, Common Stock, then (i) the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in
accordance with Section 5(e) and (ii) the number of shares of Warrant Stock
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of
shares of Common Stock that Holder would have owned immediately following such
action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto.
(d) Stock and Rights Offering to Stockholders. If at any time after the
date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue or sell, or fix a
record date for the purposes of entitling holders of its Common Stock to
receive, (i) Common Stock or (ii) rights, options or warrants entitling the
holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities
convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock), in any such
case, at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price
4
per share) that is less than the closing price per share of the Company's Common
Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or traded on any such exchange,
on the National Market System (the "National Market System") of the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System ("Nasdaq"), or if
not listed or traded on any such exchange or system, the average of the bid and
asked price per share on Nasdaq or, if such quotations are not available, the
fair market value per share of the Company's Common Stock as reasonably
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Closing Price") on the
date of such issuance or sale or on such record date then, immediately after the
date of such issuance or sale or on such record date, (x) the Warrant Price
shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 5(e), and (y) the number of shares
of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to
that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Stock
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date of such
issuance or sale or such record date by a fraction, the denominator of which
will be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date plus the
number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total
number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate
initial conversion price, exchange price or exercise price of the convertible
securities or exchangeable securities or rights, options or warrants, as the
case may be, so offered) would purchase at such Closing Price, and the numerator
of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights,
options or warrants so offered are initially convertible or exchangeable or
exercisable, as the case may be).
If the Company shall at any time after the date of issuance of this
Warrant distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital
stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its Indebtedness
or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings
or current year's or prior year's earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those referred to
in the immediately preceding paragraph) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter
in this paragraph called the "Securities"), then in each such case, the Company
shall reserve shares or other units of such securities for distribution to the
Holder upon exercise of this Warrant so that, in addition to the shares of the
Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, such Holder will receive upon
such exercise the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would
have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the
distribution of the Securities, exercised this Warrant.
(e) Warrant Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Warrant
Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided,
the Warrant Price payable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to
that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
5
prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
thereafter.
(f) Certain Shares Excluded. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this
Section 5 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the
treasury of the Company.
(g) Deferral and Cumulation of De Minimis Adjustments. The Company shall
not be required to make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 if the amount
of such adjustment would be less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in
effect immediately before the event that would otherwise have given rise to such
adjustment. In such case, however, any adjustment that would otherwise have been
required to be made shall be made at the time of and together with the next
subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so
carried forward, shall amount to not less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant
Price in effect immediately before the event giving rise to such next subsequent
adjustment.
(h) Duration of Adjustment. Following each computation or readjustment as
provided in this Section 5, the new adjusted Warrant Price and number of shares
of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall remain in
effect until a further computation or readjustment thereof is required.
6. Notice to Holders.
(a) Notice of Record Date. In case:
(i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
(or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant for the purpose of entitling them to
receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of
earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right
to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any
other securities, or to receive any other right;
(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation with or
merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another
corporation; or
(iii) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company;
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Holder hereof at the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be,
(i) the date on which a 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, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization,
6
reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, is to be fixed, as of which
the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities at the time
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange
their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities
or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution or winding-up. Such notice shall
be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date therein specified,
or if no record date shall have been specified therein, at least thirty (30)
days prior to such specified date.
(b) Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever any adjustment shall be made
pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall promptly make a certificate
signed by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, its President or a Vice
President and by its Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or
Assistant Secretary, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated and the Warrant Price and number of shares of Warrant Stock
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of such certificates to be mailed
(by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder of this Warrant.
7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, of
the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof,
without expense to the Holder, a new Warrant of like tenor dated the date
hereof.

not be entitled by reason of this Warrant to any rights whatsoever as a
stockholder of the Company.
