The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise
Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees
that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free
from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise
of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of
this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares
as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
4.2. No Impairment.
Except to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation 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 to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
4.3. Notices of Record Date and Certain Other Events.
In the event of any taking by the
Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the
holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the
same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to
the Holder, at least 10 days prior to the date on which any such record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend or distribution, a notice specifying such date.
3
5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND EXERCISE SHARES.
(a) In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock
dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares,
separations, reorganizations, liquidations, consolidation, acquisition of the Company, or the like,
the number, class and type of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise
Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same
aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and type of shares or other property as the
Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder
continued to hold such shares until the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need
not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
(b) If at any time following delivery by Holder to the Company of a Notice of Exercise but
prior to issuance of the applicable Exercise Shares, the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or
any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant)
shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor:
(i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time
directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or
options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of
dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution covered in Section
5(a) above),
(ii) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend, or
(iii) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash)
by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate
rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) above),
then and in each such case, the Holder hereof will be entitled to receive, in addition to the
number of shares of Common Stock receivable pursuant to the Notice of Exercise, and without payment
of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property
(including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above) which such Holder would
hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as
of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or
all other additional stock and other securities and property.
(c) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its
expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a
statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Exercise Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions
giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is
based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to
the Holder and to the Companys transfer agent.
4
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES.
No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any
adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the
issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the
issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay
the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from
multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
7. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.
Other than as provided in Section 3.1(a) or otherwise herein, this Warrant in and of itself
shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
8. TRANSFER OF WARRANT.
Subject to applicable laws and the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page of
this Warrant and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5
thereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly
authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to
any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.
9. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.
If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to
indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated
Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the
Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an
original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
10. NOTICES, ETC.
All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by
confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on
the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized
overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All
communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page hereto and
to Holder at the applicable address set forth on the applicable signature page to the Purchase
Agreement or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by 10 days advance
written notice to the other parties hereto.
5
11. ACCEPTANCE.
Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of
the terms and conditions contained herein.
12. GOVERNING LAW.
This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware.
13. AMENDMENT OR WAIVER.
Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder. No waivers of any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more
instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term,
