STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, NightWatch Capital Partners, LP (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from Kana Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time during the period specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, 74,329 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $1.966 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The term “Warrant Shares,” as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof. The term Warrants means this Warrant issued to the Holder pursuant to that certain Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated September 29, 2005, by and among the Company and the Buyers listed on the execution page thereof (the “Purchase Agreement”).

This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and conditions:

1. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares. (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the physical surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Agreement”), 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 Holder), and upon (i) payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is not then registered pursuant to an effective

registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to effect a “Cashless Exercise” (as defined in Section 11(c) below) for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder or such holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment shall have been made for such shares (or an election to effect a Cashless Exercise has been made) as set forth above. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the Warrant Shares shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding two (2) Trading Days (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) after such exercise (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System within a reasonable time, not exceeding two (2) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder. 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 holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.

(b) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date in Paragraph 1(b), and if after such second Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

2. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time on or after April 25, 2006 (six months following the Closing Date) and before 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of issuance of the Warrant (the “Issue Date”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Exercise Period”), after which the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void.

3. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

(d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all or substantially all the Company’s assets (the “Company’s

3

Successor”) and, subject to applicable securities laws, the permitted assigns of the Holder. Nothing in t his Warrant shall be construed to give any Person other than the Company, the Company’s Successor, the Holder and the permitted assigns of the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.

4. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Paragraph 4.

In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent.

(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(e) hereof, if and whenever on or after the Issue Date of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the greater of (1) 80% of the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) (a “Market Price Adjustment”) and (2) the then effective Exercise Price (an “Exercise Price Adjustment”) on the date of issuance (or deemed issuance) of such Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Paragraph 4(b) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance divided by the greater of (1) in the case of a Market Price Adjustment, 80% of the Market Price and (2) in the case of an Exercise Price Adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance; provided that the Exercise Price will in no event be reduced below the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

Unless the Company either (a) is permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants in excess of the Maximum Share Amount (as defined below) or (b) has obtained stockholder approval of the issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants in excess of the Maximum Share Amount in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities (the “Stockholder Approval”), in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issued the Holder upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants (including any shares of capital stock or rights to acquire shares of capital stock issued by the Company which are aggregated or integrated (including (i) the Purchased Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder pursuant to the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated June 25, 2005, by and among the Company, the Holder and the other purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchase

4

Agreement”) and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to warrants to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to the Initial Purchase Agreement) issued to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) with the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants for purposes of any such rule or regulation) exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company can so issue pursuant to any rule of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock trades (the “Maximum Share Amount”) which shall be equal to 5,848,101 (19.99% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding on June 30, 2005, excluding shares issuable pursuant to the Initial Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustments from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the Issue Date. In the event that the sum of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants and any shares of capital stock or rights to acquire shares of capital stock issued by the Company which are aggregated or integrated with the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants for purposes of any such rule or regulations (including the Purchased Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) issued to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) plus (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that remain issuable upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants at the then effective Exercise Price and any shares of capital stock or rights to acquire shares of capital stock issued by the Company which are aggregated or integrated with the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants for purposes of any such rule or regulations, represents at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Maximum Share Amount (the “Triggering Event”), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to seek and obtain Stockholder Approval (or obtain such other relief as will allow conversions hereunder in excess of the Maximum Share Amount) as soon as practicable following the Triggering Event.

(b) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Paragraph 4(a) hereof, the following will be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the greater of (1) the Market Price and (2) the Exercise Price on the date of issuance or grant of such Options, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share for purposes of this Section 4. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such

5

Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the greater of (1) the Market Price and (2) the Exercise Price on the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.

(iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect

6

will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. All calculations under this Paragraph 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities granted, issued and outstanding prior to and on the date of issuance of this Warrant; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit plan or equity incentive plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of independent directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance or deemed issuance of securities for less than the Market Price in connection with a strategic relationship, joint venture or strategic investment in the Company (so long as (i) the main purpose of which is not to raise equity capital and (ii) the Company’s board of directors approves such issuance solely for strategic purposes) (provided that during the Exercise Period only an aggregate of 1,000,000 or less shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate arithmetic adjustment in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, recapitalizations or other such events relating to the Common Stock occurring subsequent to the date hereof) (or securities convertible or exercisable into 1,000,000 or less shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate arithmetic adjustment in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, recapitalizations or other such events relating to the Common Stock occurring subsequent to the date hereof)) may be issued pursuant to this clause (iii) without effecting an

7

adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 4(a)), (iv) upon the exercise of the Warrants; (v) so long as the shareholders of the Company prior to the transaction have 50% or more of the voting power after consummation of such transaction, upon the issuance of any stock pursuant to an acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity; or (vi) upon the exercise of the other stock purchase warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or (vii) upon any investment by the Holder (or affiliates thereof) in Common Stock or warrants of the Company.

(c) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 4, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying (x) a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

(e) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right (and such right will continue for the remainder of the Exercise Period) to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Paragraph 4 hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the Company are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance,

8

assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Paragraph 4 and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire. In the event the Company effects any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance of substantially all of its assets prior to the end of the Exercise Period, this Warrant will become, at the option of the Holder, immediately exercisable.

(f) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then, after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to such distribution, but prior to the date of distribution, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the holder had such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution.

(g) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial officer of the Company.

(h) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price.

(i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the exercise of this Warrant would result in a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by the applicable principal trading market on the date of exercise.

(j) Other Notices. In case at any time:

(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution (including dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;

(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;

9

(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all its assets to, another corporation or entity; or

(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant (a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company’s books are closed in respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

(k) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment provisions of this Paragraph 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will give notice of such event as provided in Paragraph 4(g) hereof, and the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of the Holder shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such event.

(l) Certain Definitions.

(i) “Common Stock Deemed Outstanding” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) in the case of a Dilutive Issuance pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)(i) hereof, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Options issued or granted in such Dilutive Issuance, as of the date of such issuance or grant of such Options, if any, and (y) in the case of a Dilutive Issuance pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)(ii) hereof, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issued or granted in such Dilutive Issuance, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any.

(ii) “Market Price,” as of any date, means (i) the average of the last reported sale prices for the shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”) for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding such date as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent reliable reporting service mutually

10

acceptable to and hereafter designated by the holder of this Warrant and the Company (“Bloomberg”), or (ii) if Nasdaq is not the principal trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the last reported sale prices on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the same period as reported by Bloomberg, or (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined in good faith by (a) the Board of Directors of the Company or, at the option of a majority-in-interest of the holders of the outstanding Warrants by (b) an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing in the valuation of businesses similar to the business of the Company. The manner of determining the Market Price of the Common Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be made hereunder.

(iii) “Common Stock,” for purposes of this Paragraph 4, includes the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and any additional class of stock of the Company having no preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation, provided that the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, in respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares resulting from any subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the case of any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of the character referred to in Paragraph 4(e) hereof, the stock or other securities or property provided for in such Paragraph.

5. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this Warrant or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided, however, 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 the holder of this Warrant.

6. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

7. Transfer, Exchange, and Replacement of Warrant.

(a) Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted to the Holder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the form attached hereto, and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Paragraph 7(e) below, provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to all applicable securities laws, the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7(f) hereof and to the applicable provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
