FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, SatCon Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), hereby certifies that or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to ( ) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 7 hereof.
1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on August 15, 2005 and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on August 14, 2010 (such period being the “Term”).
2. Method of Exercise Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term.
(b) Method of Exercise.
(i) Subject to Section 2(b)(ii), the Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer.
(ii) In the event a registration statement relating to the resale of the shares of Warrant Stock underlying this Warrant is not effective at the time this Warrant is exercised, then this Warrant may also be exercised by, and the Holder hereof may pay the aggregate Warrant Price by, “Cashless Exercise.” In effecting such Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall include on the exercise form the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is exercised by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then current Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock and the applicable Warrant Price, and the denominator of which shall be the then current Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock. For this purpose, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock shall be the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock as reported by the principal stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of the exercise form.
(c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer’s expense within such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its designated transfer agent shall only be required to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a Holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and all requirements to effect such DWAC have been met, including, but not limited to, the prospectus delivery requirements. If the Issuer or its designated transfer agent cannot issue the shares to a Holder via DWAC because the aforementioned conditions are not satisfied, the Issuer shall deliver physical certificates to the Holder.
(d) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(f), this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of subsection (f) of this Section 2, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized
2
attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the name of the Holder or the number of shares of Warrant Stock, as applicable.
(e) Continuing Rights of Xxxxxx. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of 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 Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.
(f) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

(iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (f) upon the transfer of this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall have been resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) upon the Issuer’s receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and state securities laws or (C) upon the Issuer’s receipt of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of shares of Warrant Stock, new stock certificates) of like tenor not bearing the applicable legend required by paragraph (ii) above relating to the Securities Act and state securities laws.
(g) In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its reasonable best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other 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
4
taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants in their capacity as Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of an affidavit of loss and other evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5.
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”): (a) consolidate or merge with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding Voting Stock prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the merged or consolidated entity immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (b) sell all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (c) change the Common Stock to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Section 4(b)), or (d) effect a capital reorganization (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Section 4(b)), then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior
5
thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4. The Issuer will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Issuer) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the Issuer are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Section 4 and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
(ii) effect a stock split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
6
adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
(c) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(ii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(iii) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend and shall, thereafter and before the dividend to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(d) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent officer) to prepare and execute a certificate 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 Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with and exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.
