Attention:  Austin W. Marxe

Dear Austin:

Reference is hereby made to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2002 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among Iteris, Inc., as the successor to Odetics, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), and each of Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P., Special Situations Fund III, L.P., Special Situations Cayman Fund, L.P. and Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P., as the successors to the funds originally party thereto (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Funds hold Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of the Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), par value $0.10 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $1.61 per share.  The number of Warrants held by each Fund is set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Funds hereby exercise their Warrants in full effective on the Closing Date (as defined below).  In consideration of such agreement to exercise, on the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Funds the Warrant Shares, registered in the names and in the respective amounts set forth in Exhibit A, and additional warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 246,250 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) (the “New Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $3.25 per share (subject to adjustment).  The New Warrants shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B hereto. The number of New Warrants to be issued to each Fund is set forth in Exhibit A hereto.  On the Closing Date, the parties hereto will execute and deliver a Registration Rights Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.  In the event that the Closing Date does not occur prior to the close of business on September 29, 2006, this Warrant Exercise Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall be null and void.




As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to Lowenstein Sandler PC, in trust, certificates representing the Warrant Shares and the New Warrants, in the amounts and registered in the names set forth in Exhibit A, such Warrant Shares and New Warrants to be held for release to the Funds only upon payment in full of the aggregate exercise price of the Warrants of $2,012,500 to the Company by the Funds.  Upon such receipt by Lowenstein Sandler PC of the certificates, each Fund shall promptly, but no more than one business day thereafter, cause a wire transfer in same day funds to be sent to the account of the Company as instructed in writing by the Company, in an amount representing such Fund’s pro rata portion of the aggregate exercise price as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and shall deliver their Warrants to the Company.  On the date the Company receives the aggregate exercise price and the Warrants (the “Closing Date”), the certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares and the New Warrants shall be released to the Funds (the “Closing”).  The Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby shall take place at the offices of Lowenstein Sandler PC, 1251 Avenue of the Americas, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10020, or at such other location and on such other date as the Company and the Funds shall mutually agree.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Funds that:

(a)           The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own its properties.

(b)           The Company has full corporate power and authority and has taken all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for (i) the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the New Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), (ii) the authorization of the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, and (iii) the authorization, issuance (or reservation for issuance) and delivery of the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”).  The Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (z) the extent the indemnification or contribution provisions contained in the Registration Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

(c)           Except as disclosed in Schedule 1 hereto, the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any other person or entity (other than the Funds) and will not result in the adjustment of the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of any outstanding security.

2




(d)           The New Warrants have been duly and validly authorized.  Upon the due exercise of the New Warrants (including the payment of the exercise price therefor as specified therein), the New Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for restrictions on transfer set forth in the Transaction Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws and except for those created by the Funds.  The Company has reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon the exercise of the New Warrants, free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for restrictions on transfer set forth in the Transaction Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws and except for those created by the Funds.

(e)           The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents and the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities require no consent of, action by or in respect of, or filing with, any person or entity, governmental body, agency, or official other than filings to be made with the American Stock Exchange, filings that have been made pursuant to applicable state securities laws and post-sale filings pursuant to applicable state and federal securities laws which the Company undertakes to file within the applicable time periods.  Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Fund set forth herein, the Company has taken all action necessary to exempt (i) the issuance and sale of the Securities, (ii) the issuance of the New Warrant Shares upon due exercise of the New Warrants, and (iii) the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents from the provisions of (A) any stockholder rights plan or other “poison pill” arrangement, (B) any anti-takeover, business combination or control share law or statute binding on the Company or to which the Company or any of its assets and properties may be subject and (C) any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, that in case of clauses (A) through (C) above is or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to the Funds as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby and that would restrict the ownership, disposition or voting of the Securities by the Funds or the exercise of any right granted to the Funds pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(f)            The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the issuance and sale of the Securities will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under (i) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s Bylaws, both as in effect on the date hereof (true and complete copies of which have been made available to the Funds through the EDGAR system), or (ii)(A) any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company, any subsidiary or any of their respective assets or properties, or (B) any agreement or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or a subsidiary is bound or to which any of their respective assets or properties is subject.

(g)           No person or entity will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company, any subsidiary or a Fund for any commission, fee or other

3




compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company.

(h)           Neither the Company nor any person or entity acting on its behalf has conducted any general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities.

(i)            Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, nor any person or entity acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(2) for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Securities under the Act.

(j)            Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Fund set forth herein, the offer and sale of the Securities to the Funds as contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act.

Each of the Funds hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a)           Such Fund is a validly existing corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company and has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to invest in the Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)           The execution, delivery and performance by such Fund of the Transaction Documents to which such Fund is a party have been duly authorized and will each constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Fund, enforceable against such Fund in accordance with their respective terms, subject to (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (z) the extent the indemnification or contribution provisions contained in the Registration Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

(c)           The Securities to be received by such Fund hereunder will be acquired for such Fund’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Act, and such Fund has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Act without prejudice, however, to such Fund’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Fund to hold the Securities for any period of time.  Such Fund is not a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange

4




Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.

(d)           Such Fund acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.

(e)           Such Fund has had an opportunity to receive all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities.  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by such Fund shall modify, limit or otherwise affect such Fund’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

(f)            Such Fund understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances.

(g)           It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing the Securities may bear the following or any similar legend:

“The securities represented hereby may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) such securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k), or (iii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualification under applicable state securities laws.”

(h)           Such Fund is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the Act.

(i)            Such Fund did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

(j)            No person or entity will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company, any subsidiary or a Fund for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of such Fund.

Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall take all necessary action to cause the New Warrant Shares to be listed on the American Stock Exchange

5




upon official notice of issuance.  Further, if the Company applies to have its Common Stock or other securities traded on any other principal stock exchange or market, it shall include in such application the New Warrant Shares and will take such other action as is necessary to cause such Common Stock to be so listed.  The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange and, in accordance, therewith, will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such exchange.

Upon the earlier of (i) registration for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) Rule 144(k) becoming available the Company shall (A) deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”) irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall reissue a certificate representing the New Warrant Shares without legends upon receipt by such Transfer Agent of the legended certificates for such shares, together with either (1) a customary representation by the applicable Fund that Rule 144(k) applies to the shares of Common Stock represented thereby or (2) a statement by the applicable Fund that such Fund has sold the shares of Common Stock represented thereby in accordance with the Plan of Distribution contained in the Registration Statement, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent one or more blanket opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Act.  From and after the earlier of such dates, upon a Fund’s written request and compliance by the Fund with the applicable provisions of clause (A)(1) or (A)(2) above, the Company shall promptly cause certificates evidencing the Fund’s Securities to be replaced with certificates which do not bear such restrictive legends, and New Warrant Shares subsequently issued upon due exercise of the New Warrants shall not bear such restrictive legends provided the provisions of either clause (i) or clause (ii) above, as applicable, are satisfied with respect to such New Warrant Shares, and provided further that in the case of clause (i) the Registration Statement has not been suspended (including due to an Allowed Delay, as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and no stop order has been issued with respect to such Registration Statement prior to the sale or transfer by the Fund giving rise to such transfer request.  When the Company is required to cause unlegended certificates to replace previously issued legended certificates, if unlegended certificates are not delivered to a Fund within three (3) business days of delivery by that Fund of legended certificate(s) to the Transfer Agent as provided above (or to the Company, in the case of the New Warrants), the Company shall be liable to the Fund for liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate exercise price paid or payable in respect of the Securities evidenced by such certificate(s) for each thirty (30) day period (or portion thereof) beyond such three (3) business days that the unlegended certificates have not been so delivered.

Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by telex or facsimile, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such

6




notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one business day after delivery to such carrier.  All notices shall be addressed to the party to be notified at the address as follows, or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (II) SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144(K), OR (III) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 10 HEREOF, THIS WARRANT SHALL BE VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2011 (THE “EXPIRATION DATE”).

ITERIS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE                  SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $0.10 PER SHARE

For VALUE RECEIVED,                                                   (“Warrantholder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from Iteris, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), at any time not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date (as defined above), at an exercise price per share equal to $3.25 (the exercise price in effect being herein called the “Warrant Price”),                        shares (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”).  The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein.  This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Exercise Agreement among the Company, the initial Warrantholder and the initial holders of the Company Warrants (as defined below) (the “Warrant Exercise Agreement”).

Section 1.               Registration.  The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrant.  Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.

Section 2.               Transfers.  As provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration.  Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer this Warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender hereof for transfer, properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Company, including, if required by the Company, an opinion of counsel to the Warrantholder to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to establish that such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the Company.




Section 3.               Exercise of Warrant.  Subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its expiration upon surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of a duly executed Warrant exercise form, in the form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Exercise Agreement”), and payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds (or, in certain circumstances, by cashless exercise as provided below) of the aggregate Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder).  The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder or the Warrantholder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or the date evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company has been provided to the Company), the Warrant Price shall have been paid and the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered.  Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Warrantholder within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised.  The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Warrantholder and shall be registered in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated by the Warrantholder, as specified in the Exercise Agreement.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.  As used herein, “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of business.  Each exercise hereof shall constitute the re-affirmation by the Warrantholder that the representations and warranties contained in the Warrant Exercise Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Warrantholder as of the time of such exercise.

Section 4.               Compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. Subject to the terms of the Warrant Exercise Agreement, the Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant, and a similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend is unnecessary.

Section 5.               Payment of Taxes.  The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Warrantholder in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid.  The Warrantholder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax is due.

2




Section 6.               Mutilated or Missing Warrants.  In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if requested by the Company.

Section 7.               Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company hereby represents and warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary) as contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant.  The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon due exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Section 8.               Adjustments.  Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter.

(a)           If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then (i) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date on which such change shall become effective shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such change and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such change and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the date on which such change shall become effective by a fraction, the numerator of which is shall be the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date on which such change shall become effective and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price in effect immediately after giving effect to such change, calculated in accordance with clause (i) above.  Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b)           If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful

3




and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.  The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder, at the last address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Warrantholder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant.  The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.

(c)           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 8(a)), or subscription rights or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Warrant 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: (i) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; (ii) if the Common Stock is then quoted on, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board (the “Bulletin Board”), the Pink Sheets, LLC (the “Pink Sheets”) or such similar quotation system or association, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on the Bulletin Board, the Pink Sheets or such other quotation system or association 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 asked price quoted thereon on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on such other quotation system or association,

4




the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder.  If the Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange, the Bulletin Board, the Pink Sheets or such other quotation system or association, the Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder prior to the exercise hereunder as to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.  In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder are unable to agree upon the fair market value in respect of clause (iii) of this paragraph, the Company and the Warrantholder shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters.  The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the Warrantholder.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a payment date is fixed.

(d)           An adjustment to the Warrant 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.

(e)           In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.

(f)            Except as provided in subsection (g) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with any of subsections (f)(l) through (f)(7) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any Additional Shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each such case (a “Trigger Issuance”) the then-existing Warrant Price, shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price determined as follows:

Adjusted Warrant Price = (A x B) + D

A+C

where

“A” equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined below) deemed to be issued hereunder, immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

“B” equals the Warrant Price in effect immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

“C” equals the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued hereunder as a result of the Trigger Issuance; and

5




“D” equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance;

provided, however, that in no event shall the Warrant Price after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance be greater than the Warrant Price in effect prior to such Trigger Issuance.

For purposes of this subsection (f), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to this subsection (f), other than Excluded Issuances (as defined in subsection (g) hereof).

For purposes of this subsection (f), the following subsections (f)(l) to (f)(7) shall also be applicable:

(f)(1)  Issuance of Rights or Options.  In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible Securities”) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 8(f)(3), no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

6




(f)(2)  Issuance of Convertible Securities.  In case the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 8(f)(3), no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Warrant Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 8(f).

(f)(3) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate.  Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 8(f)(l) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(f)(l) or 8(f)(2), or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(f)(l) or 8(f)(2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 8(f) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 8(f) (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.

7




(f)(4) Stock Dividends.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 8(f), in case the Company shall declare or pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company (other than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.

(f)(5) Consideration for Stock.  In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith.  In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith.  In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.  If Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the “Additional Rights”) are issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or another method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Warrantholder).  The Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder as to the fair market value of the Additional Rights.  In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Additional Rights, the Company and the Warrantholder shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters.  The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Warrantholder.

(f)(6) Record Date.  In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the

8




declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(f)(7) Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this subsection (f).

(g)           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Warrant Price in the case of the issuance of (A) capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company in connection with their service as directors of the Company, their employment by the Company or their retention as consultants by the Company pursuant to an equity compensation program or other agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, (B) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Options or Convertible Securities issued prior to the date hereof, provided such securities are not amended after the date hereof to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder or to lower the exercise or conversion price thereof, and (C) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (but only to the extent that such a dividend, split or distribution results in an adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to the other provisions of this Warrant) (collectively, “Excluded Issuances”).

(h)           Upon any adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 8(f) above, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price in effect immediately thereafter.

Section 9.               Fractional Interest.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.  If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 9, be deliverable upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the exercising Warrantholder an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of such fractional share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

Section 10.             Extension of Expiration Date.  If the Company fails to cause any Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities (unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms are as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Warrant Shares (the “Registration Rights Agreement”)) to be declared effective prior to the applicable dates set forth therein, or if any of the events specified in Section 2(c)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement occurs, and the Blackout Period (whether alone, or in combination with any other Blackout Period) continues for more than 60 days in any 12 month period, or for more than

9




a total of 90 days, then the Expiration Date of this Warrant shall be extended one day for each day beyond the 60-day or 90-day limits, as the case may be, that the Blackout Period continues.

Section 11.             Benefits.  Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder.

Section 12.             Notices to Warrantholder.  Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.  Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment.

Section 13.             Identity of Transfer Agent.  The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation.  Upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will mail to the Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent.

Section 14.             Notices.  Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by telex or facsimile, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one business day after delivery to such carrier.  All notices shall be addressed as follows: if to the Warrantholder, at its address as set forth in the Company’s books and records and, if to the Company, at the address as follows, or at such other address as the Warrantholder or the Company may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other:

If to the Company:

Iteris, Inc.

Section 15.             Registration Rights.  The initial Warrantholder is entitled to the benefit of certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise

10




of this Warrant as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, and any subsequent Warrantholder may be entitled to such rights.

Section 16.             Successors.  All the covenants and provisions hereof by or for the benefit of the Warrantholder shall bind and inure to the benefit of its respective successors and assigns hereunder.

Section 17.             Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof.  The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Warrant.  The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court.  The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  EACH OF THE COMPANY AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE WARRANTHOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS WARRANT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

Section 18.             Call Provision.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Warrant to the contrary, in the event that the closing bid price per share of Common Stock as traded on the American Stock Exchange (or such other exchange or stock market on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted) equals or exceeds $6.50 (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other reclassification or combination of the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days commencing after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has been declared effective, the Company, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) given to the Warrantholder within one (1) business day immediately following the end of such twenty (20) trading day period, may call this Warrant, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to $0.01 per share of Common Stock then purchasable pursuant to this Warrant; provided that (i) the Company simultaneously calls all Company Warrants (as defined below) on the same terms, (ii) all of the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder either (A) are registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) which is not suspended and for which no stop order is in effect, and pursuant to which the Warrantholder is able to sell such shares of Common Stock at all times during the Notice Period or (B) no longer constitute Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and (iii) this Warrant is fully exercisable for the full amount of Warrant

11




Shares covered hereby.  Notwithstanding any such notice by the Company, the Warrantholder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant prior to the end of the Notice Period.

Section 19.             Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Warrant Exercise Agreement) and so long as the Company is required under the Registration Rights Agreement to have effected and keep effective the registration of the Warrant Shares for resale to the public pursuant to a Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), if the Warrant Shares may not be freely sold to the public because such shares are not covered by an effective Registration Statement which is not suspended and for which no stop order is in effect, then during such period in which the Warrant Shares may not be freely sold to the public (but excluding the period of any Allowed Delay (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), the Warrantholder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Warrantholder of the aggregate Warrant Price in respect of the shares of Common Stock to be acquired, shares of Common Stock of equal value to the value of this Warrant, or any specified portion hereof, by the surrender of this Warrant (or such portion of this Warrant being so exercised) together with a Net Issue Election Notice, in the form annexed hereto as Appendix B, duly executed, to the Company.  Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder such number of fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A - B)

       A

where

X =          the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Warrantholder is entitled upon such cashless exercise;

Y =          the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant for which the Warrantholder has surrendered purchase rights at such time for cashless exercise (including both shares to be issued to the Warrantholder and shares as to which the purchase rights are to be canceled as payment therefor);

A =         the “Market Price” of one share of Common Stock as of the date the net issue election is made; and

B =          the Warrant Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made.

Section 20.             No Rights as Stockholder.  Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have or exercise any rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of its ownership of this Warrant.

Section 21.             Amendment; Waiver.  This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants of like tenor issued by the Company pursuant to the Warrant Exercise Agreement and initially covering

12




an aggregate of 246,250 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Company Warrants”).  Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived (including the adjustment provisions included in Section 8 of this Warrant) upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of Company Warrants representing at least 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to all outstanding Company Warrants (the “Majority Holders”); provided, that (x) any such amendment or waiver must apply to all Company Warrants; and (y) the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, the Warrant Price and the Expiration Date may not be amended, and the right to exercise this Warrant may not be altered or waived, without the written consent of the Warrantholder.

Section 22.             Section Headings.  The section headings in this Warrant are for the convenience of the Company and the Warrantholder and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the provisions hereof.
