SECTION 2. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Agreement and the right to purchase Common Stock as granted herein (the "Warrant) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period ending upon the earliest to occur of (i) seven (7) years from the Effective Date; or (ii) three (3) years after the Initial Public Offering. SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS. (a) Exercise. The purchase rights set forth in this Agreement are exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2, by tendering to the Company at its principal office (i) a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and executed, and (ii) a duly completed and executed Stockholder Instrument of Accession in the form attached hereto as Exhibit IV (the "Instrument of Accession"). Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise, the Instrument of Accession and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than three (3) business days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the "Acknowledgment of Exercise") indicating the number of shares which remain subject to future purchases, if any. The Purchase Price may be paid at the Warrantholder's election either (i) by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of all or a portion of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock to be exercised under this Agreement and, if applicable, an amended Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder, as determined below ("Net Issuance"). If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company will issue Common Stock in accordance with the following formula: X = Y(A-B) ------ A Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrantholder. Y = the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be exercised under this Agreement. A = the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock at the time of issuance of such shares of Common Stock. B = the Exercise Price. For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of Common Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Common Stock: (i) if the exercise is in connection with an Initial Public Offering, and if the Company's Registration Statement relating to such Initial Public Offering has been declared effective by the SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the initial "Price to Public" of the Common Stock specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering; (ii) if the exercise is after, and not in connection with an Initial Public Offering, and: 2 (A) if the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a ten (10) day period ending three days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined; or (B) if the Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the fifteen (15) day period ending three days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined; (iii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ National Market or the over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Common Stock shall be the highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, unless, prior to the exercise of the purchase rights under this Agreement, the Company shall become subject to a Merger Event pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving party, in which case the fair market value of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the Company's Common Stock on a common equivalent basis pursuant to such Merger Event. Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof. (b) Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Agreement is not previously exercised as to all Common Stock subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this Agreement shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 3 (a) (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration, provided that the Warrantholder delivered to the Company the Instrument of Accession duly completed and executed (unless not applicable at such time). For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 3(a). To the extent this Agreement or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Warrantholder of the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, the Warrantholder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise. SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the term of this Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase Common Stock as provided for herein. SECTION 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Agreement, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect. SECTION 6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER/STOCKHOLDER. This Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder/stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of the purchase rights under this 3 Agreement. The Warrantholder acknowledges that the Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Agreement shall be subject to any and all limitations and restrictions set forth in the Company's Charter, then current bylaws, and the Investor Rights Agreement and Stockholder Agreement entered into by and among the stockholders of the Company's Common Stock on January 13, 2005, as shall be amended from time to time. SECTION 7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Agreement. Warrantholder's initial address, for purposes of such registry, is set forth below Warrantholder's signature on this Agreement. Warrantholder may change such address by giving written notice of such changed address to the Company. SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows: (a) Merger Event. If at any time there shall be Merger Event, then, as a part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such Merger Event that would have been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Agreement immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that the provisions of this Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable) shall be applicable in their entirety, and to the greatest extent possible. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Merger Event, upon the closing thereof, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Agreement. (b) Reclassification of Shares. Except as set forth in Section 8(a), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change. (c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall combine or subdivide its Common Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Agreement shall be proportionately increased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Agreement shall be proportionately decreased. (d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall: pay a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of shareholders entitled to receive such 4 dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or (e) Antidilution Rights. If the Company issues additional common shares (including shares of common stock ultimately issuable upon conversion of a security convertible into common stock) after the date of the Agreement and the consideration per additional common share is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such issue shall be reduced, concurrently with such Issue, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which is the amount of common stock outstanding immediately before such Issue plus the amount of common stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the additional common shares would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such Issue, and (ii) the denominator of which is the amount of common stock outstanding immediately before such issue plus the number of such additional common shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Agreement shall be increased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product resulting from multiplying (i) the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Agreement and (ii) the Exercise Price, in each case as in effect immediately before such adjustment, by (b) the adjusted Exercise Price. The Company shall provide Warrantholder with prior written notice of any issuance of its stock or other equity security to occur after the Effective Date of this Agreement, which notice shall include (a) the price at which such stock or security is to be sold, (b) the number of shares to be issued, and (c) such other information as necessary for Warrantholder to determine if a dilutive event has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to this subsection 8(e) for equities issued (i) in a round that generates gross proceeds of not more than $5,000,000, which round closes by June 30, 2005, (ii) under stock options issued to employees under plan(s) approved by the Company's Board of Directors, and (iii) if such issuance is exempted from the participation rights pursuant to Section 3.1 (h) of the Investor Rights Agreement entered into by and among the Company and the holders of the Company's Common Stock on January 13, 2005, as shall be amended from time to time, in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that subsection 3.1(h) (i) shall read as follows: "securities issuable upon conversion or exchange of any convertible securities or exercise of any options or warrants outstanding on the date of the Effective Date [(March 31, 2005)]". Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company inadvertently issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any share of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such issue, such Exercise Price not be reduced if the Company is able to rescind or appropriately modify the transaction within a reasonable time after it became aware of the reduction in the Exercise Price that would otherwise occur. (f) Notice of Adjustments. Immediately upon the adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Common Stock exercisable, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such adjustment. The Company shall also give written notice to the Warrantholder 20 days prior to a planned Merger Event, Initial Public Offering or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets. 5 SECTION 9.
