cancer or melanoma (NEO3-05), provided that the Company and the Purchaser have determined in good
faith from a review of the unaudited trial data that the primary objective of efficacy of
Lymphoseek in such patients, i.e., the concordance of in-vivo detection rate of Lymphoseek and
vital blue dye in tumor-draining sentinel lymph nodes as confirmed by pathology in at least
ninety-three percent (93%) of such patients, has been achieved; or (ii) such other date and time
as the Parties may agree (the date of the Third Closing being hereinafter referred to as the

efficacy of Lymphoseek in such patients, i.e., the concordance of in-vivo detection rate of
Lymphoseek and vital blue dye in tumor-draining sentinel lymph nodes as confirmed by pathology in
at least ninety-three percent (93%) of such patients, has been achieved, and (iv) no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes or the other Transaction
Documents.”

No. 1 | $3,000,000.00 | |
Dated: April 16, 2008 |
For value received, NEOPROBE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), hereby
promises to pay to the order of Platinum-Montaur Life Sciences, LLC, 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, XX 00000 (together with its successors, representatives, and permitted assigns, the
“Holder”), in accordance with the terms hereinafter provided, the principal amount of Three
Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00), together with interest thereon. This Note is being
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined in Section 1.1 hereof). The Maker has also
issued to the Holder the Maker’s 10% Series A Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note
(“Series A Note”) and may issue to the Purchaser shares of the Maker’s 8% Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Series A Note and the Series B Note
are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes.”
All payments under or pursuant to this Note shall be made in United States Dollars in
immediately available funds to the Holder at the address of the Holder first set forth above or at
such other place as the Holder may designate from time to time in writing to the Maker or by wire
transfer of funds to the Holder’s account, instructions for which are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on December 26, 2011 (the
“Maturity Date”) or at such earlier time as provided herein.
Purchase Agreement. This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 26, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by
and among the Maker and the purchasers listed therein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
Interest. Beginning on the issuance date of this Note (the “Issuance Date”),
the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears, at a rate per annum
equal to ten percent (10%), payable monthly on the first day of each calendar month (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”) commencing February 1, 2008, at the option of the Maker in (A)
cash or (B) in registered shares of Common Stock; provided, however, (i) payment of interest in
shares of Common Stock may only occur if during the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the
applicable Interest Payment Date and through and including the date such shares of Common Stock are
issued to the Holder all of the Equity Conditions, unless waived by the Holder in writing, have
been met and the Maker shall have given the Holder notice in accordance with the notice
requirements set forth below, and (ii) as to such Interest Payment Date, on or prior to such
Interest Payment Date, the Maker shall have delivered to the Holder’s account with The Depository
Trust Company a number of shares of Common Stock to be applied against such interest payment equal
to the quotient of (x) the applicable interest payment divided by (y) 90% of the average VWAP for
the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months, shall compound monthly and
shall accrue commencing on the Issuance Date. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof), the Maker will pay interest to the Holder, payable on
demand, on the outstanding principal balance of and unpaid interest on the Note from the date of
the Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured at the rate of the lesser of thirteen
percent (13%) and the maximum applicable legal rate per annum. Notwithstanding the above, the
Maker may not issue a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Monthly Interest
Share Amount toward the payment of Interest, as to all outstanding Series A Notes and Series B
Notes, in the aggregate, during any rolling twenty (20) Trading Day period. For purposes hereof,
“Maximum Monthly Interest Share Amount” means 20% of the aggregate dollar trading volume
(as reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market over the twenty (20)
consecutive Trading Day period immediately prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.
5
any default in the payment of (i) the principal amount hereunder when due, or (ii) interest
on, or liquidated damages in respect of, this Note, as and when the same shall become due and
payable (whether on the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise); or
the suspension from listing, without subsequent listing on any one of, or the failure of the
Common Stock to be listed on at least one of the OTC Bulletin Board, the American Stock Exchange,
the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or The New
York Stock Exchange, Inc. for a period of more than five (5) consecutive Trading Days; or
the Maker shall fail to (i) timely deliver the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Note or any interest accrued and unpaid, (ii) file a Registration Statement in accordance with the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement or (iii) make the payment of any fees or other payments
due under this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, which failure is not remedied within five (5) business days after such
performance is due; or
while the Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective pursuant to the terms
of the Registration Rights Agreement, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the
issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to the Holder for sale of the Registrable Securities
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement
(other than as a result of any breach of the Registration Rights Agreement or violation of law by
any holder of the Notes, or their agents or Affiliates), and such lapse or unavailability continues
for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days, provided that the Maker has not exercised its
rights pursuant to Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement; or
6
default shall be made in the performance or observance of (i) any covenant, condition or
agreement contained in this Note (other than is set forth in (a) through (d) above) and such
default is not cured within ten (10) days after the earlier of (A) the date the Maker receives
notice from the Holder of the occurrence thereof or (B) the date on which the Maker knew or should
have known, if it had exercised reasonable diligence, of such default, or (ii) any material
covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights
Agreement, the Series A Note, or any other Transaction Document that is not covered by any other
provisions of this Section 2.1 and such default is not cured within ten (10) days after the earlier
of (A) the date the Maker receives notice from the Holder of the occurrence thereof or (B) the date
on which the Maker knew or should have known, if it had exercised reasonable diligence, of such
default; or
any material representation or warranty made by the Maker herein or in the Purchase Agreement,
the Series A Note or any other Transaction Document shall prove to have been false or incorrect or
breached in a material respect on the date as of which made; or
the Maker shall (i) default in any payment of any amount or amounts of principal of or
interest on any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness hereunder) the aggregate principal amount
of which Indebtedness, in the aggregate, exceeds $100,000, which default entitles the holder or
holders of such Indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof, or (ii) default in the observance
or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any Indebtedness or contained in any
instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or
condition exist, which default, event or condition continues beyond any applicable cure period, and
the effect of which default, event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders or
beneficiary or beneficiaries of such Indebtedness to cause with the giving of notice if required,
such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; or
the Maker shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking of possession
by, a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its

writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or (vii) take any action under the laws
of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic) analogous to any of the foregoing; or
a proceeding or case shall be commenced in respect of the Maker, without its application or
consent, in any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking (i) the liquidation, reorganization,
moratorium, dissolution, winding up, or composition or readjustment of its debts, (ii) the
appointment of a trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator or the like of it or of all or any
substantial part of its assets in connection with the liquidation or dissolution of the Maker, or
(iii) similar relief in respect of it under any law providing for the relief of debtors, and such
proceeding or case described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) shall continue undismissed, or unstayed
and in effect, for a period of sixty (60) days or any order for relief shall be entered in an
involuntary case under United States Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect) or under the
7
comparable laws of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic) against the Maker or action under
the laws of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic) analogous to any of the foregoing shall be taken
with respect to the Maker and shall continue undismissed, or unstayed and in effect for a period of
sixty (60) days; or
8
at any point after 135 vital blue lymph nodes have been obtained from patients who have
completed surgery and injection of the drug in the Phase 3 clinical trial of Lymphoseek (NEO3-05),
the failure of Maker to achieve the primary objective in such trial of efficacy of Lymphoseek,
which is the concordance of in-vivo detection rate of Lymphoseek and vital blue dye in
tumor-draining sentinel lymph nodes as confirmed by pathology in at least ninety-three percent
(93%) of such patients, determined in good faith by the Company and the Holder following a review
of the unaudited trial data; or
the Bank shall provide written notice to the Maker or Holder of the Bank’s termination of the
Account Control Agreement, and the Maker does not within forty-five (45) days following such notice
(i) establish a replacement blocked account pursuant to Section 5.15 of the Purchase Agreement with
another financial institution, on substantially the same terms contained in the Account Control
Agreement, or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to Maker and Holder (the “Replacement Account”),
(ii) transfer all funds held in the account subject to the Account Control Agreement to the
Replacement Account, and (iii) provide evidence to the Holder that an instruction letter,
substantially in the form of the Instruction Letter attached as Exhibit M to the Purchase
Agreement, has been executed by each of the Maker and Ethicon, irrevocably instructing Ethicon to
make payments under the Ethicon Agreement to the Replacement Account; or
the occurrence of any default or event of default under any other Note or the failure by the
Maker to comply with its material obligations under the Certificate of Designations governing the
terms of the Preferred Stock.
9
Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker or its designated
transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as
specified in the Conversion Notice, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall
be entitled upon such conversion, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. In the
alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker shall
deliver to the applicable Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be
free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the
conversion of this Note (the “Delivery Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, the Maker or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares
to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such
conversion is in connection with a sale by the Holder and the Holder has complied with the
applicable prospectus delivery requirements or an exemption from such registration requirements
(each as evidenced by documentation furnished to and reasonably satisfactory to the Maker). If in
the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as
directed by the Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the
Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to
rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for
conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions
immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described
in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the
Maker.
The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If
the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC (or, if applicable, certificates), or
fails to deliver unlegended certificates representing such shares if required
10
pursuant to Section 3.3(a) hereof, by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to such Holder,
in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or
certificates are delivered (if applicable), together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10%
per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to
the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted
for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per
day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall
limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such
Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion
Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages
accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may
the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common
Stock owned by the Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in
the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time;
provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice
(pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that the Holder waives the
limitations contained in this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(a) will be of no force or effect with
regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may
the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by
the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided,
however, that upon the Holder providing the Maker with a Waiver Notice that the Holder waives the
limitations contained in this Section 3.4(b) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(b) shall be of no force or effect with
regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.
Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of Section 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) shall not be applicable
when calculating any adjustment to the Conversion Price hereunder or any other adjustments under
Section 3.5 hereof.
11
Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant
to Section 3.5(a)(i) hereof):
the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close
of business on such record date; and
the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close
of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
in payment of such dividend or distribution.
12
therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the
time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
13
14
Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the total
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate consideration received or to be received by the Company for the shares
so issued (or deemed issued) would purchase at such Conversion Price, and (B) the
denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the
number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or deemed issued). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price upon any issuance or deemed
issuance of Common Stock if the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of
the Series B Notes waive in writing such adjustment.
in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the
surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the
15
previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed to
or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount
of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined
reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, of such portion
of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board may
determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities,
rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or
in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is
not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other
securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities of any
corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its
Common Stock for stock or securities or other property 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 all such stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable
Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Notes, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes immediately prior to
such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such
adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Notes. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other
assets of the Maker for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed
as provided in this Section 3.5(a)(viii) shall be allocated among such securities
and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker; or
other than as set forth above, for any non-cash consideration, the value of the
consideration other than cash received by the Maker shall be deemed to be the fair
market value of such consideration, as determined mutually in good faith by the
Maker’s Board of Directors and the Holder or, if the Maker’s Board of Directors and
the Holder fail to agree, at the Maker’s expense by an appraiser selected the
Maker’s Board of Directors and reasonably acceptable to the Holder.
Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Maker
shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with any of the
following: (i) issuance of the Notes, Preferred Stock or Warrants to the Purchasers pursuant to the
terms of the Purchase Agreement; (ii) issuances of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or
conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Note, provided that such securities have not been
amended since the date of this Note to increase the number of such
16
securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of any such securities
(including the Notes, Preferred Stock and Warrants issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement); (iii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions
approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, but not including a transaction with an
entity whose primary business is investing in securities or a transaction, the primary purpose of
which is to raise capital; (iv) the issuance of shares of Common Stock in payment of interest on
the Notes, or as a dividend or distribution on the Preferred Stock; or (v) issuances, pursuant to
option plans existing on December 26, 2007, of options to employees, officers or directors of the
Company, approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the
Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such
purpose to the extent such issuances (x) are at an exercise price of not less than the Closing
Price on the date of grant and (y) are at an exercise price greater than $0.26 per share.
Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment
of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note
pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting
forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and
readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of
Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be
received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be
obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of
at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.
17
any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued
or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as
expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case
may be.
Inability to Fully Convert.
require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is
unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice (the
“Mandatory Prepayment”) in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five
percent (125% of the portion of aggregate principal amount of this Note that Maker
was unable to convert to Common Stock (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”);
if the Maker’s inability to fully convert is pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(iii)
above, require the Maker to issue restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance
with such holder’s Conversion Notice; or
void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be,
this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that
the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Maker’s obligations
to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice).
18
Triggering Event. A “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred at
such time as any of the following events:
any Event of Default pursuant to Sections 2.1 (b), (c) or (d) shall have occurred;
19
the Maker’s notice to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public announcement, at any
time, of its inability to comply or its intention not to comply with proper requests for conversion
of any Notes into shares of Common Stock; or
the Maker deregisters its shares of Common Stock and as a result such shares of Common Stock
are no longer publicly traded; or
the Maker consummates a “going private” transaction and as a result the Common Stock is no
longer registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
20
For so long as this Note is outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of
at least a majority of the then outstanding principal balance hereof:
No Liens. The Maker shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to, enter into,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens on or with respect to any of its assets now

waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit
a holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Maker to comply with the terms of
this Note. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the
like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder thereof and

threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available rights and
remedies, at law or in equity, to seek and obtain such equitable relief, including but not limited
to an injunction restraining any such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND
MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR RECEIPT BY THE MAKER OF AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL IN THE FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE MAKER THAT THIS
NOTE AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, UNDER AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH
STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Maker and the Holder irrevocably agrees that the
any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note may be brought in the Courts
of New York County, New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York and hereby expressly submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for
25
the purposes thereof and expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any claim that such
courts are an inconvenient forum. Each of the Maker and the Holder hereby irrevocably consents to
the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding

in effect for notices to it under the Purchase Agreement, such service to become effective 10 days

liability of the other persons, firms or Maker liable for the payment of this Note. No delay or
omission on the part of the Holder in exercising its rights under this Note, or course of conduct
relating hereto, shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other right of the Holder, nor
shall any waiver by the Holder of any such right or rights on any one occasion be deemed a waiver

arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price, any adjustment to the Conversion Price, liquidated
damages amount, interest or dividend calculation, or any redemption price, redemption amount,

Maker shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two
(2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Conversion Notice, any redemption notice,
default notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If
the Holder and the Maker are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2)
Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the

Agreement). The Maker, at the Maker’s expense, shall cause the investment bank, the accountant, the
law firm, or other expert, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and
notify the Maker and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time

Expires April 16, 2013
No.: WX 08-001 | Number of Shares: 8,333,333 | |

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, Neoprobe
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the
“Issuer”), hereby certifies that Platinum-Montaur Life Sciences, LLC or its registered
assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the period specified in this Warrant, up
to Eight Million Three-Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three (8,333,333) 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 9 hereof.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Term commencing on April
17, 2008.
(b) Method of Exercise. 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 at
such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account
designated by the Issuer, (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (c) of this Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act
providing for resale of all of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, or (iii) by a combination
of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant.
29
(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and
commencing 6 months following the Original Issue Date, if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one
share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth
below) and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of all
of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash,
the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares
of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which
event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
X = Y - | (A)(Y) | |||||
Where X =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder. | |
Y =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised. | |
A =
|
the Warrant Price. | |
B =
|
the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock. |
(d) 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 (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder, 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 (less any
amount thereof which shall have been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as
hereinabove provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer’s expense within such
time.
(e) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(g), this Warrant may be
transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this
paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in
person or by the Holder’s duly authorized 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 number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto.
(f) Continuing Rights of Holder. 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, however, 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.
30
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant
and 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.
(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:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR NEOPROBE CORPORATION
SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (g) 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.
(h) Buy In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer
fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after
such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant
Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds
(y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer
was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times, (B) the price
at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option
of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of
Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of
Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under
clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence
reasonably requested by the Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer’s failure to
timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
31
(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, upon issuance, 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 number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
exercisable hereunder to provide for the exercise of this Warrant (without regard to limitations on
exercisability set forth in Section 8).
(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 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’s 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. Until the sooner to occur of the full exercise of this Warrant or the
end of the Term, except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Issuer shall
not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its Certificate of Incorporation or
By-Laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment or
dilution. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (a) not increase the
par value of any Warrant Stock above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately
prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof
as may be necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in
the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, 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.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following
(each, a “Triggering Event”): (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person
and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or
merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the
Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or
32
exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c)
transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d)
effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, 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 (without giving effect to the
limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) immediately prior thereto (including
the right to elect the type of consideration, if applicable), subject to adjustments
(subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments
provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary and so long as
the surviving entity is a Qualifying Entity, the Issuer will not be deemed to have effected
any Triggering Event 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 the
Holder of this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, (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, an opinion of counsel for
such Person, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, 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) set a record date 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, shares
of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide 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 (without giving effect to the
limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) 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 adjustment (without giving effect to the
limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) divided by (B) the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment (without
giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof).
(c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall set a record date or
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution of:
(i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally
available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation
of the Issuer),
33
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents,
Additional Shares of Common Stock or Permitted Issuances), or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any
nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents, Additional Shares of Common
Stock or Permitted Issuances),
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be
adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment (without giving effect to the limitations on
exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall
be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share
of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment
banking firm reasonably acceptable to the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness,
shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights
so distributable, 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 adjustment (without giving effect to the
limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof) divided by (B) the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment (without
giving effect to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 8 hereof). A reclassification of
the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no
par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be
deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other
class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such
reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b).
(i) In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Original Issue Date issue
any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing
subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant
Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such
issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the price determined by multiplying the
Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the total number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance (or
deemed issuance) plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration
received or to be received by the Company for the shares so issued (or deemed issued) would
purchase at such Warrant Price, and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued
(or deemed issued). Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no adjustment to the
Warrant Price upon any issuance or deemed issuance of Common Stock if the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock waive in writing such adjustment.
(ii) No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under paragraph (i) of
Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued
pursuant to the exercise or conversion of any Common Stock Equivalents if any such
adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents, or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor pursuant to
Sections 4(e) or 4(f), or in connection with any Permitted Issuances.
(e) [reserved]
34
the Warrant Price then in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, shall
upon each such issuance or sale be adjusted as provided Section 4(d)(i), with the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents being
deemed to have be issued or sold by the Company at the time of issuance or sale of such Common
Stock Equivalents. For purposes of this Section 4(f), the “price per share for which Additional
Shares of Common Stock is issuable” shall be determined by dividing (X) the total amount received
or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Common Stock
Equivalents, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the conversion or exercise thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of all such Common Stock Equivalents. No
further adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made under this Section 4(f) upon
the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously
have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4(e). No
further adjustments of the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such
Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents if adjustment shall have
previously been made pursuant to this section. No adjustments of the Warrant Price shall be made
under this Section 4(f) in connection with any Permitted Issuances.
(g) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the Warrant Price
then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f) as the result of any
issuance of warrants, other rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other
rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall
expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or
exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may
be shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common
Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be increased solely by virtue
of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the
occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment
shall be rescinded and annulled. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(g)
above, there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the
basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any,
theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or
other rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or
dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and
(ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been
granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for
which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents;
whereupon a new adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment
shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.
(h) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock at a price per share greater than the Per
Share Market Value, then the Warrant Price upon each such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall
be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price 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 Per Share Market Value; 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 subsection (h), the date as of which the Per Share Market
Price shall be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer 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
subsection (h), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent 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 such Common Stock Equivalent on the
date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made, whether or not such Common Stock
Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on such date.
(i) 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:
35
(i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common
Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be
issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be
the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the
subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid
or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any
compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the
underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that
such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of
such consideration at the time of such issuance as mutually determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Issuer and the Majority Holders. The consideration for any
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for
issuing such warrants or other rights divided by the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such warrant or right plus the additional consideration
payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrant or other right for one share of Common
Stock (together the “Warrant Consideration”). The consideration for any Additional
Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall
be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock Equivalent,
divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or other
exercise of such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable
to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock
Equivalent for one share of Common Stock (together the “Common Stock Equivalent
Consideration”). In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class
of stock other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such
Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the
amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.
(ii) Adjustments of Number of Shares. In connection with an adjustment of the Warrant
Price pursuant to Sections (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this Section 4, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Warrant
Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall
be equal to the aggregate Warrant Price prior to such adjustment.
(iii) 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
(1/100 th ) of a share.
(iv) 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 or
distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the
distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such
dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, 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.
(j) 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 exercise of this Warrant.
(k) Escrow of Property. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this
Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the
occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, such
property shall be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be distributed to the Holder upon
and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the then current Warrant
Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such
record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed property shall be returned to
the Issuer.
36
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated
(including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), 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. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the
matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted
to one of the national accounting firms currently known as the “big four” selected by the Holder,
provided, however, that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such
Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select
another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the
Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a
written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after
submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
7. [Reserved]
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a
holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned
by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such holder
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act

outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the
Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that

issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 8 will be of no force or effect with regard to
