WARRANT TO PURCHASE

SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
HEALTHAXIS INC.

      THIS IS TO CERTIFY that, for value received,                     , is entitled to purchase from Healthaxis Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), at any time from the date of issuance and on or before the Expiration Date,                      shares of Common Stock of the Company (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant) at the Exercise Price on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

      Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in Section 8 of this Warrant.

      1.     Exercise of Warrant; Company Call Rights.

      (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time during the period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration Date. To exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver to the Company (i) a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”) duly completed and executed, (ii) an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price, (iii) this Warrant; and (iv) such documentation as the Company may reasonably require in connection with establishing an exemption from registration under federal and state securities law for the issuance of shares of Common Stock to Holder upon the exercise hereof, including, without limitation, an investor questionnaire, and a letter of securities law representations and warranties concerning Holder and Holder’s investment in such securities. At the option of the Holder, payment of the Exercise Price shall be made: (A) by wire transfer of funds to an account in a bank located in the United States designated by the Company for such purpose; (B) by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company; or (C) a combination of such methods.

      (b) Upon receipt of the required deliveries, and subject to Section 1(c) below, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable and no later than three (3) business days after receipt of the Notice of Exercise, cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder, subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, a certificate or certificates representing shares of Common Stock equal in the aggregate to the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Notice of Exercise. The shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be

1


 

deemed to be issued to the Holder or such Holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the Exercise Date. The Company shall pay all reasonable expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of stock certificates pursuant to this Section 1.

      (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if (i) the Market Price (as defined below) for one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (on the date of exercise of all or a part of this Warrant), and (ii) if no registration statement covering the shares for which this Warrant is exercisable is effective as of the Exercise Date (after the 120th day following the “Filing Date,” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), then in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, Holder may elect to receive Common Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with the form of Election to Exercise attached as Exhibit A hereto fully executed, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder that number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

         
    Y =   Z 2/3 (C-B)/ C
Where
  Y =   the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder
    Z =   the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
    B =   Exercise Price
    C =   Market Price of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

      For purposes of this Section, the Market Price of one share of the Common Stock shall be calculated as follows: If the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market or the over-the-counter market, the last reported price on the date of valuation at which the Common Stock has traded on such exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the average of the bid and asked prices on the over-the-counter market on the date of valuation or, if no sale took place on such date, the last date on which a sale took place. If the Common Stock is not so traded, the Market Price of one share of the Common Stock shall be as determined by agreement of the parties hereto, or if the parties hereto cannot reach agreement, then such value shall be determined by appraisal by an independent investment banking firm selected by the Company and acceptable to Holder; provided, however, that if Holder and the Company cannot agree on such investment banking firm, such appraised value shall be determined by an independent investment banking firm independently selected by the agreement of an investment banking firm selected by each of the Company and Holder. The cost of such appraisal shall be borne equally by the Company and Holder.

      (d) Subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth herein, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to compel the exercise of this Warrant at any time during the period commencing 18 months after the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration Date if, and only if, (i) the Common Stock has traded in the public market at a price per share of $7.00 or higher during 20 out of 30 trailing trading days (as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market or such other public market on which the common stock is then quoted or listed) immediately preceding the date of the Company’s written notice to the Holder of its election pursuant to this Section 1(d) and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 that covers the resale of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised is then effective as and to the extent provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant, nor shall the Company have the right to force the exercise of any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the

2


 

Holder and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The Holder may waive the limitations set forth herein by at least sixty-one (61) days written notice to the Company.

      In the event of the Company’s election to exercise all or a portion of this Warrant, the Holder shall within 5 business days of its receipt of the notice specified above deliver to the Company the Exercise Price, the Warrant, such documentation with respect to the establishment of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws for the issuance of shares of Common Stock to Holder, and the Company shall promptly thereafter deliver to the Holder the shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. The Company shall, as promptly as practicable and no later than three (3) business days after receipt of the Exercise Price, cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder, subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, a certificate or certificates representing shares of Common Stock equal in the aggregate to the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Notice of Exercise. Such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued on the Exercise Date, subject to the Holder’s right to elect a forfeiture (as provided in the final sentence of this paragraph). At the option of Holder, payment of the Exercise Price shall be made: (A) by wire transfer of funds to an account in a bank located in the United States designated by the Company for that purpose; (B) by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company; or (C) a combination of such methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 1(d), in the event the Company delivers notice to the Holder of the required exercise of this Warrant, the Holder may in lieu of exercising this Warrant elect to forfeit this Warrant by promptly delivering written notice to such effect to the Company.

      2.     Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.

        (a) If the Company at any time after the Issue Date: (i) pays or makes a stock dividend on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) issues any shares of Common Stock by reclassification of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) effects a reverse stock split of Common Stock, then this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for that number of shares that would have derived had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the events listed in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above (and the Exercise Price thereof shall be correspondingly adjusted). In the case of a subdivision or re-classification, any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or re-classification. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
 
        (b) If at any time after the Issue Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise, and other than a capital reorganization, merger or consolidation (the adjustment for which is provided for in Section 2(c)), in any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such recapitalization, reclassification or other change that it would have been entitled to receive had it exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event, all subject to further adjustments as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof (and the Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be correspondingly adjusted).
 
        (c) If at any time after the Issue Date, the Common Stock is converted into other securities or property, whether pursuant to a capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or otherwise (other than a

3


 

  recapitalization, reclassification, subdivision, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 2(b)), as a part of such transaction, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled to receive in connection with such transaction, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof (and the Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be correspondingly adjusted). To the extent applicable, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Holder after such transaction to the end that the provisions of this Section 2 (including adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the adjustment of the Exercise Price thereof) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.
 
        (d) In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends or distributions referred to in Section 2(a)), or subscription rights or warrants, the Exercise Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date. “Market Price” as of a particular date (the “Valuation Date”) shall mean the following: (p) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national stock exchange, the Market Price shall be the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date, provided that if such stock has not traded in the prior ten (10) trading sessions, the Market Price shall be the average closing price of one share of Common Stock in the most recent ten (10) trading sessions during which the Common Stock has traded; (q) if the Common Stock is then included in The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), the Market Price shall be the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low ask price quoted on Nasdaq as of the end of the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date, provided that if such stock has not traded in the prior ten (10) trading sessions, the Market Price shall be the average closing price of one share of Common Stock in the most recent ten (10) trading sessions during which the Common Stock has traded; (s) if the Common Stock is then included in the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, the Market Price shall be the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low ask price quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board as of the end of the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date, provided that if such stock has not traded in the prior ten (10) trading sessions, the Market Price shall be the average closing price of one share of Common Stock in the most recent ten (10) trading sessions during which the Common Stock has traded, (t) if the Common Stock is then included in the “pink sheets,” the Market Price shall be the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on the “pink sheets” on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low ask price quoted on the “pink sheets” as of the end of the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date, provided that if such stock has not traded in the prior ten (10) trading sessions, the Market Price shall be the average closing price of one share of Common Stock in the most recent ten (10) trading sessions during which the Common Stock has traded. The Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an

4


 

  inquiry by the Holder prior to the exercise hereunder as to the Market Price of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
        (e) An adjustment to the Exercise Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.
 
        (f) Holder, by accepting the benefits of this Warrant, agrees that the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment or reduction as provided in this Section 2.

  (g) (i) Within three (3) business days of any adjustment of the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

        (ii) The Company shall give written notice to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which any merger or reclassification provided from in Section 2(c) hereof shall take place.

      3.     Reservation. The Company shall, at all times prior to the Expiration Date, reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, a number of authorized shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of this Warrant.

The Company covenants that the shares of stock represented by each and every certificate for its Common Stock to be delivered on the exercise of the purchase rights herein shall, at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable.

      5.     Restrictions on Transfer. Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that the transfer of this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement that, until the first anniversary of the Issue Date, restrict certain transfers of such securities and makes any such attempted transfers void ab initio; and this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the holders thereof shall be entitled to all rights and benefits accorded thereto and subject to all the restrictions and obligations imposed thereon in the Investor Rights Agreement.

If this Warrant is exercised or purchased in part only, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant, issued at the Company’s expense, registered in the name of the Holder evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was not exercised or purchased.
