This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. EXERCISE. 1.1 Per Share Purchase Price. The "PER SHARE PURCHASE PRICE" at which this Warrant may be exercised shall be $6.50, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2 hereof. 2 1.2 Exercise. (a) This Warrant may only be exercised on or prior to December 31, 2001, and the Warrant shall terminate and cease to be exercisable as of 5:00 p.m., California time, on December 31, 2001. (b) This Warrant may only be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Annex I) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company of the then applicable Per Share Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased (a "CASH EXERCISE"). The aggregate Per Share Purchase Price shall be paid in cash (by certified check or by wire transfer) or by net exercise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2(c). (c) Subject to Section 1.2(d) hereof, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, a number of Warrant Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company (the "NET EXERCISE"), with the net issue election duly selected and initialed in the Notice of Exercise delivered to the Company as provided above. Thereupon the Company will issue to the Holder such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as is computed using the following formula: X = Y(A-B) ------ A where X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder upon the Net Exercise pursuant to this Section 1.2; Y = the number of Warrant Shares exercised under this Warrant for which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1.2 (upon such Net Exercise, the number of shares subject to further exercise under this Warrant shall be reduced by this number); A = the Market Price (as defined below) of one share of the Company's Common Stock on the date the Net Exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1.2; and B = the Per Share Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant For purposes of this Section 1.2, "MARKET PRICE" means, as to a share of Common Stock, (i) the average of the closing prices of sales on all domestic securities exchanges and national markets on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed, or (ii) if there have been no sales on any such exchange on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges -2- 3 at the end of such day, or (iii) if on such day the Common Stock is not so listed, the average of the representative bid and asked prices quoted in the Nasdaq National Market as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, on such day, or (iv) if on any day the Common Stock is not quoted in the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor organization, in each such case averaged over the period of twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date the net issue election or other exercise is made pursuant to this Section 1.2; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange the term "TRADING DAYS" as used in this sentence means days on which such exchange is open for trading. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted in the Nasdaq National Market or the domestic over-the counter market, the "Market Price" shall be the fair value thereof determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith upon the request of the Holder (it being understood that if the Holder is not satisfied with such determination the sole recourse of the Holder is to exercise the Warrant for cash). (d) Notwithstanding Section 1.2(c) hereof, no Net Exercise of all or part of this Warrant under Section 1.2(c) hereof shall be made unless, on the day of proposed exercise, the Market Price of a share of Common Stock is at or above $20.00, as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, dividends, subdivisions, combinations, recapitalizations and the like hereafter. For greater certainty, if a Net Exercise under Section 1.2(c) hereof may not be made by a Holder under this Section 1.2(d) on the day of exercise, the sole and exclusive means of exercise of this Warrant on such day shall be a Cash Exercise under Section 1.2(b) hereof. (e) The exercise of this Warrant is also limited by the provisions of certain agreements between the Company and the original holder of this Warrant, as specified in Section 3.3 below. 1.3 Limitations on Exercise. The exercise of this Warrant, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and the Holder with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer. The Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, use its reasonable best efforts to make all filings, notices and applications required by the Company (excluding filings, notices and applications required by the Holder), and take all actions necessary to permit the exercise of this Warrant by the Holder and the issuance of Warrant Shares to the Holder, and the Holder shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Company in connection therewith. This Warrant may not be exercised as to fewer than 100,000 Warrant Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, dividends, subdivisions, combinations, recapitalizations and the like hereafter), unless it is exercised as to all Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is then exercisable. 1.4 Issuance of New Warrant. In the event of any exercise of the purchase represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased will be delivered to the Holder within ten (10) business days after receipt of such payment and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, respect to which this Warrant will not then have been exercised will also be issued to the Holder within a reasonable time. -3- 4 1.5 Termination. Unless the Warrant shall have previously terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2(a), the Warrant shall terminate and cease to be exercisable on December 31, 2001. In addition, the number of Shares issuable under this Warrant is subject to reduction (or, if the Warrant shall have previously been exercised, a number of Shares are subject to repurchase by the Company at the Per Share Exercise Price) under the terms of an Investor Rights Agreement with the Company dated April 20, 2000 (the "RIGHTS AGREEMENT"). 2. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES AND PER SHARE PURCHASE PRICE. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the Per Share Purchase Price, will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2: 2.1 Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Per Share Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Per Share Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. 2.2 Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired pays a dividend, without receipt of consideration therefor, to the holders of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other capital stock ("CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES"), or options to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other capital stock or Convertible Securities ("OPTIONS"), other than any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Holder shall, upon exercise of this Warrant be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the amount of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other capital stock, Convertible Securities or Options that such Holder would have received had it been Holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such additional shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other capital stock, Convertible Securities or Options. Any adjustment under this Section 2.2 will become effective on the record date or, if there is no record date, on the date of issuance. 2.3 Reorganization, Reclassifications. Mergers or Sales. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other transaction (including, without limitation, any Corporate Event (as defined in the Rights Agreement)), in each case that is effected in such a way that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets, or a combination thereof, with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an "ORGANIC CHANGE." Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, other than any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to ensure that the Holder shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, upon exercise -4- 5 of this Warrant in accordance with its terms and upon payment of the Per Share Exercise Price then in effect, in lieu of each Warrant Share immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to each Warrant Share immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrant had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Organic Change. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to acquire. 2.4 Certain Events. If (i) any event occurs of a type that would have an effect on the rights granted under this Warrant similar to the effect of any event described by the other provisions of this Section 2 and (ii) such event is not expressly provided for by such other provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then an appropriate adjustment in the Per Share Purchase Price and the number of Warrant Shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder shall be made. 2.5 Notices. (a) Within ten (10) business days of any adjustment of the Per Share Purchase Price, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth and certifying in reasonable detail the facts causing such adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment. The Company will give due consideration to, and consult with counsel regarding, any objection the Holder may have to the matters described in such notice, and will make any corrections to such notice deemed necessary to conform with the terms of this Warrant. (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Holder at least ten (10) business days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution (cash or otherwise) upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription or other offer to holders of Common Stock and (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation. (c) The Company shall also give written notice to the Holder at least ten (10) business days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place. 3. MISCELLANEOUS. 3.1 Transferability; Successors and Assigns. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company, except only that the Holder may upon prior written notice to the Company transfer the Warrant in whole or in part to a parent entity that wholly owns the Holder or to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holder.
