Any and all fees, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and all other documents relating hereto and the consummation of this transaction, the filing or recording of any documents (including all taxes in connection therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of any taxes, counsel fees, maintenance fees, encumbrances or otherwise protecting, maintaining or preserving the Trademarks, or in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or related to the Trademarks, shall be borne and paid by Debtor on demand by Secured Party and until so 17 paid shall be added to the principal amount of the Obligations. 10. Debtor shall have the duty, through counsel reasonably acceptable to Secured Party, to prosecute diligently any Trademark applications pending as of the date of this Agreement or thereafter until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, to make federal application on registrable but unregistered Trademarks, to file and prosecute opposition and cancellation proceedings and to do any and all acts which are necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain all rights in the Trademarks. Any expenses incurred in connection with the Trademarks shall be borne by Debtor. The Debtor shall not abandon any Trademark without the consent of Secured Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 11. Intentionally Deleted. 12. Debtor hereby authorizes and empowers Secured Party to make, constitute and appoint any officer or Secured Party of Secured Party as Secured Party may select, in its exclusive discretion, as Debtor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the power, after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to endorse Debtor's name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for Secured Party to use the Trademarks, or to grant or issue any exclusive or nonexclusive license under the Trademarks to anyone else, or necessary for Secured Party to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Trademarks to any third person as a part of Secured Party's realization on such collateral upon acceleration of the Obligations following an Event of Default.

If Debtor fails to comply with any of its obligations hereunder, Secured Party may do so in Debtor's name or in Secured Party's name, but at Debtor's expense, and Debtor hereby agrees to reimburse Secured Party in full for all expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Secured Party in protecting, defending and maintaining the Trademarks. 14. No course of dealing between Debtor and Secured Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Loan Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege. 15. All of Secured Party's rights and remedies with respect to the Trademarks, whether established hereby or by the Loan Agreement or any other agreements or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. 4 18 16.

B. TRADEMARK LICENSES:
7 21 EXHIBIT 10.9 EXHIBIT F THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK OF COSINE COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Void after June 30, 2006) For value received, VENTURE LENDING & LEASING II, INC. (the "Original Holder"), and any person to whom the interest in this Warrant is lawfully transferred (the Original Holder and such transferees are referred to hereinafter as the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, for the warrant exercise price per share and having an aggregate warrant exercise price, each as set forth in Section 1 below, that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the preferred stock, as hereinafter defined, of CoSine Communications, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"). This Warrant is being issued in connection with, and as required by, that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith by and between the Company and the Original Holder (the "Loan and Security Agreement"). 1. Exercise of Warrant Payment for Shares. (a) Preferred Stock. The Holder of this Warrant is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, that number of the Company's currently authorized Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") as calculated pursuant to Section 1(b)(i) below; provided, however, that if Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") is issued and sold by the Company prior to June 30, 1999, then this Warrant shall be exercisable exclusively for that number of the Company's duly authorized and issued Series B Preferred Stock as calculated pursuant to Section 1(b)(ii) below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term "Preferred Stock" shall mean the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if this Warrant is exercisable for Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth above, then the term "Preferred Stock" shall mean the Series B Preferred Stock. (b) Warrant Exercise Price; Number of Shares. For purposes of this Warrant, the initial warrant exercise price shall be $8.41 per share of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if this Warrant is exercisable for Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1(a) above, then the initial warrant exercise price shall be equal to the per share price of the Series B Preferred Stock as sold by the Company on the closing of the sale of the Series B round (the "Warrant Exercise Price"). The Warrant Exercise Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in Section 4 hereof. (i) The total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable under this Warrant shall be calculated by dividing the then applicable Aggregate Warrant Exercise Price, as determined in Section 1(c) hereof, by the then applicable Warrant Exercise Price, as set forth herein. (ii) The total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable under this Warrant shall be calculated by dividing the then applicable Aggregate Warrant Exercise Price, as determined in Section 1(c) hereof, by the then applicable Warrant Exercise Price, as set forth herein. 22 (c) Increase in Number of Shares. Initially upon issuance this Warrant shall be immediately exercisable for 20,808 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Borrower at a per share exercise price of $8.41; provided that if Series B Preferred Stock of the Borrower is issued and sold prior to June 30, 1999, then this Warrant shall be exercisable initially for a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock having an Agreement Warrant Exercise price of $175,000.00 (i.e. 5% of $3,500,000). The total number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable under this Warrant at the Warrant Exercise Price shall be increased from time to time by - - that number of shares having an Aggregate Warrant Exercise Price equal to five percent (5.0%) of the Term Loan commitment amount beyond $1 million upon the Lender's making available that remaining portion of the working capital facility as set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement; - - the total number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable under this Warrant at the Warrant Exercise Price shall be increased from time to time by that number of shares having an Aggregate Warrant Exercise Price equal to five percent (5.0%) of the original principal amount of each Term Loan advanced under the working capital facility set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. (d) Exercise Period. This Warrant is exercisable from the date of issuance, and will expire and be void, to the extent not previously exercised pursuant to the terms hereof at 5:00 p.m., California time, on June 30, 2006 (the "Expiration Date"). (e) Method of Exercise: Cash Payment. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part for up to the total number of shares remaining available to exercise by the surrender of this Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as duly executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company, by check made payable to the Company drawn on a United States bank and for United States funds of an amount in each case equal to the then applicable Warrant Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased. (f) Net Exercise Option: The Holder, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by the payment of the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to class (e) of this Section 1, may elect, at any time on or before the Expiration Date, to receive that number of shares of Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of: (i) the difference between (A) the Per Share Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Preferred Stock, less (B) the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, multiplied by the number of shares of Preferred Stock the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to purchase hereunder (or such lesser number of shares as the Holder may designate in the case of a partial exercise of this Warrant); over (ii) the Per Share Price. Election to exercise under this section may be made by delivering a signed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto to the Company together with delivery of the warrant, and shall be effective upon the date of receipt by the Company. For purposes of this paragraph (f), "Per Share Price" means the product of: (i) the greater of (A) the closing price of the Company's Common Stock as quoted by NASDAQ or listed on any exchange, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Holder's election hereunder or, (B) if applicable at the time of or in connection with the exercise under clause (g) of this Section 1, the gross sales price of one share of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to a registered public offering or that amount which shareholders of the Company will receive for each share of Common Stock pursuant to a merger, reorganization or sale of assets; and (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this warrant is convertible. If the Company's Common Stock is not quoted by NASDAQ or listed on an exchange, the Per Share Price of the Preferred Stock (or the equivalent number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock is convertible) shall be the price per share which the Company would obtain from a willing buyer for shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued shares as such price shall be agreed upon by the Holder and the Company or, if agreement cannot be reached within ten (10) business days of the Holder's election hereunder, as such price shall be determined by a panel of three (3) appraisers, one (1) to be chosen by the Company, one (1) to be chosen by the Holder and the third to be chosen by the first two (2) appraisers. If the appraisers cannot reach agreement within 30 days of the Holder's election hereunder, then each appraiser shall deliver its appraisal and the appraisal which is neither the highest nor the lowest shall constitute the Per Share Price. In the event either party fails to choose an appraiser within 30 days of the Holder's election hereunder, then the appraisal of the sole appraiser shall constitute the Per Share Price. Each party shall bear the cost of the appraiser selected by such party and the cost of the third appraiser shall be borne one-half by each party. In 2 23 the event either party fails to choose an appraiser, the cost of the sole appraiser shall be borne one-half by each party. (g) Delivery of Instruments. If pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, an event causing automatic conversion of the Company's Preferred Stock shall have occurred prior to the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which the Preferred Stock not purchased upon any prior exercise of the Warrant would have been so converted (and, where the context requires, reference to "Preferred Stock" shall be deemed to include such Common Stock). The Company agrees that the shares of Preferred Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which the Notice of Exercise shall have been received by the Company and payment made for such shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 2, certificates for the shares of Preferred Stock so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which the Holder hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company's expense within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. Except as provided in clause (f) of this Section 1, in case of a purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time so that the Holder of the Warrant shall have the right to receive, at an Aggregate Warrant Exercise Price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, the balance of the shares purchasable under the Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Preferred Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or such other name as shall be designated by such Holder, subject to the limitations contained in Section 2. (h) Supplement to Warrant. As soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence or non-occurrence of the latest event or condition necessary to determine (i) the actual number and type of shares of the Company's Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and (ii) the initial Warrant Exercise Price, the Company shall execute and deliver a supplement to this Warrant in substantially the form of Exhibit "A" attached hereto, completed with such quantity and price terms and other information as have been determined as a result of the occurrence or non-occurrence of such events or conditions. The provisions of such supplement, once completed and executed, shall control the interpretation and exercise of this Warrant. 2. Limitation on Transfer. (a) The Warrant and the Preferred Stock shall not be transferable except upon the conditions specified in this Section 2, which conditions are intended to insure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Each holder of this Warrant or the Preferred Stock issuable hereunder will cause any proposed transferee of the Warrant of Preferred Stock to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Section 2. (b) Each certificate representing (i) this Warrant, (ii) the Preferred Stock, (iii) shares of the Company's Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and (iv) any other securities issued in respect to the Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Section 2 or unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act or sold under Rule 144) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws): THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 3 24 (e) The Holder of this Warrant and each person to whom this Warrant is subsequently transferred represents and warrants to the Company (by acceptance of such transfer), in addition to those representations and warranties contained in Section 17 hereof, that it will not transfer the Warrant (or securities issuable upon exercise hereof unless a registration statement under the Securities Act was in effect with respect to such securities at the time of issuance thereof) except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any other rule under the Securities Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, that an exemption from such registration is available. 3. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Preferred Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, or other securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Preferred Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Preferred Stock may be listed. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price (as defined in Section 4 hereof) (i) if the total number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding warrants, together with all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding and all shares of Preferred Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock then authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation, or (ii) if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon the conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation. 4. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price; Number of Shares. The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. 4.1 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. 4.2 Dividends in Preferred Stock, Other Stock Property, Reclassification. If at any time or from time to time the holders of Preferred Stock (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, (a) Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock or other securities whether or not such securities are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or (b) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend, or 4 25 (c) Preferred Stock or other 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 Preferred Stock issued as a stock split, adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 4.1 above). Then and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Preferred Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefore, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (b) and (c) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Preferred Stock as of the date on which holders of Preferred Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares and/or all other additional stock and other securities and property. 4.3 Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Preferred Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Preferred Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby. In any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Warrant Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be possible, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. 4.4 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, and/or any increase or decrease in the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant the Company shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered Holder of the Warrant at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company. The notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit "A" hereto, signed by an executive officer of the Company and shall state the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method calculation and the facts upon which shall such calculation is based. 4.5 Other Notices.

Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action as the case may be. 5. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Preferred Stock upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of the Warrant for any issue tax in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then Holder of the Warrant being exercised. 6. Closing of Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any Warrant or of any shares of Preferred Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant. 7. No Voting or Dividend Rights; Limitation of Liability. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent as a shareholder in respect of meetings of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Preferred Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Warrant Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors. 8. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants registration rights to the Holder of this Warrant for any common stock of the Company issued upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock obtained upon exercise hereof, equivalent to the registration rights granted to the investors party to that certain Rights Agreement, dated November 7, 1997, among the Company, the purchasers listed on Exhibit A attached thereto and Dean Hamilton, as an individual, (the "Rights Agreement"), except that the Holder will not have any of the registration rights set forth in Section 5 of the Rights Agreement. 9. "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any common stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder during a period of time determined by the Company and its underwriters (not to exceed 180 days in the event of the Company's initial public offering and 90 days in the event of any other public offering) following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, provided that all officers and directors of the Company who then hold common stock (or other securities) of the Company enter into similar agreements. Each Holder further agrees, if so requested by the Company or its underwriters, to enter into an lock-up agreement evidencing the terms of this clause in a form satisfactory to the 6 27 Company and such underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the common stock (or securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said period. 10. Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of Warrant.

Binding Effect on Successors. This Warrant shall be binding upon any corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the Company relating to the Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall survive the exercise and termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants and agreements of the Company shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assign of the holder hereof. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon request of the Holder hereof but at the Company's expense, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to the Holder hereof in respect of any rights to which the Holder hereof shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with this Warrant, provided, that the failure of the Holder hereof to make any such request shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to the Holder hereof in respect of such rights. 14. Descriptive Headings and Governing Law. The descriptive headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of California. 15. Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant or stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, the Company shall at its expense make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate. 16.
