from the Effective Date; or (ii) three (3) years after the Initial Public Offering.


SECTION 4. 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 3, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of
exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly
completed and executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the
Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than seven (7)
days thereafter (except following an Initial Public Offering, in which case the issuance shall be
no later than three (3) days thereafter), the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a
certificate for the number of shares of Series C Preferred 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 Series C Preferred 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 Series C Preferred Stock in
accordance with the following formula:








    
		3.



    
		






			
	Where:	 	X = the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued
to the Warrantholder pursuant to the Net Issuance.






     Y = the number of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock that would have been issued under this
Agreement for cash in connection with such
exercise.




     A = the fair market value of one (1) share of
Series C Preferred Stock at the time of issuance
of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock.




			
	 	 	B = the Exercise Price.





     For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of Series C Preferred Stock
shall mean with respect to each share of Series C Preferred 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 product of (x) the
initial “Price to Public” of the Common Stock specified in the final prospectus with respect
to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series
C Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;




     (ii) if the exercise is after, and not in connection with an Initial Public Offering,
and:




     (A) if the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing prices
over a ten (10) day period ending two (2) days before the day the current fair
market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the
time of such exercise; or




     (B) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall
be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid and asked prices
quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the ten (10) day period ending
two (2) days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being
determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of
Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;




     (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 Series C Preferred Stock shall be the product of (x) 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




    
		4.



    
		





unissued shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors and (y) the
number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock is
convertible at the time of such exercise, unless the Company shall become subject to a
Merger Event, in which case the fair market value of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the Company’s Series C Preferred
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 Series C Preferred Stock subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one
share of the Series C Preferred Stock is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this
Agreement shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 4(a) (even if not
surrendered) immediately before its expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair
market value of one share of the Series C Preferred Stock upon such expiration shall be determined
pursuant to Section 4(a). To the extent this Agreement or any portion thereof is deemed
automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Company agrees to promptly notify the
Warrantholder of the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, if any, the Warrantholder is to
receive by reason of such automatic exercise.


SECTION 5. 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 Series C Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the
rights to purchase Series C Preferred Stock as provided for herein, and shall have authorized and
reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock available hereunder.


SECTION 6. 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 7. 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 this Agreement.


SECTION 8. 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.




    
		5.



    
		





SECTION 9. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.




     The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder
are subject to adjustment, as follows:



     (a) Merger Event. Warrantholder agrees that if there shall be a Merger Event, either
Warrantholder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right under this Agreement and such
exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Merger Event, or
(ii) if Warrantholder elects not to exercise this Agreement prior to the Merger Event, then, as a
part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that Warrantholder shall thereafter be
entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Agreement, the number of shares of preferred 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 the case of (ii) above, 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 Series C Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable in their entirety,
and to the greatest extent possible, and in such case, upon the closing thereof, the successor or
surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Agreement. In the case of (i) above, upon
Warrantholder’s written election to the Company, the Company shall cause this Agreement to be
exchanged for the consideration that Warrantholder would have received if Warrantholder chose to
exercise its right to have shares issued pursuant to the Net Issuance provisions of this Agreement
without actually exercising such right, acquiring such shares and exchanging such shares for such
consideration. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if there shall be a Merger Event in which the
outstanding capital stock of the Company is acquired for either cash and/or unrestricted,
freely-transferable shares of capital stock in a publicly-traded company, and Warrantholder elects
not to exercise this Agreement in accordance with (i) above, this Warrant will expire upon the
consummation of such Merger Event.



     (b) Reclassification of Shares. Except as set forth in Section 9(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 Series C Preferred Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall
be proportionately decreased, and the number of shares of Series C Preferred 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
Series C Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Agreement shall be proportionately
decreased.




    
		6.



    
		





     (d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Agreement is outstanding
and unexpired shall:




     (i) pay a dividend with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock payable in Series C
Preferred Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such 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 Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or
distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Series
C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or




     (ii) make any other distribution with respect to Series C Preferred Stock (or stock
into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible), except any distribution
specifically provided for in any other clause of this Section 9, then, in each such case,
provision shall be made by the Company such that the Warrantholder shall receive upon
exercise or conversion of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such distribution as
though it were the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock (or other stock for which the
Series C Preferred Stock is convertible) as of the record date fixed for the determination
of the shareholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.



     (e) Anti-dilution Rights. Additional anti-dilution rights applicable to the Series C
Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth in the Company’s Charter and shall be
applicable with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock issuable hereunder. The Warrantholder
hereby recognizes that such anti-dilution rights may be amended or modified, at any time, so long
as such amendment or modification is effected in a manner consistent with the requirements of the
Charter, the Rights Agreement, any other stockholder agreement, and the Delaware General Corporate
Law as then in effect. Upon the written request of Warrantholder, the Company shall promptly
provide the Warrantholder with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter;
provided, that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall impair or reduce the anti-dilution
rights applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock as of the date hereof unless such amendment,
modification or waiver affects the rights of Warrantholder with respect to the Series C Preferred
Stock in the same manner as it affects all other holders of Series C Preferred Stock. The Company
shall provide Warrantholder with prior written notice of any issuance of its stock or other equity
security (other than options or other rights issued under the Stock Plan), and any other
information relating to the issuance of its stock (other than options or other rights issued under
the Stock Plan) that is provided to the holders of its Series C Preferred Stock after the Effective
Date of this Agreement, including (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 is reasonably necessary for
Warrantholder to determine if a dilutive event has occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, there
shall be no duplicate anti-dilution adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e), the forgoing
subsection (d) and the Company’s Charter.



     (f) Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or
distribution upon its stock, whether in stock, cash, property or other securities; (ii) the Company
shall offer for subscription prorata to the holders of any class of its Preferred Stock or other




    
		7.



    
		





convertible stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there
shall be any Merger Event; (iv) there shall be an Initial Public Offering; (v) the Company shall
sell, lease, license or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets; or (vi) there
shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection
with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder: (A) at least thirty (30) days’
prior written notice (or such shorter period as is provided to the Company’s stockholders in a
manner consistent with its Charter and the Rights Agreement) of the date on which the books of the
Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, subscription rights
(specifying the date on which the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto) or
for determining rights to vote in respect of such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up; (B) in the case of any such Merger Event, sale, lease, license or other transfer of all or
substantially all assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice (or such shorter period as is provided to the Company’s stockholders in a manner
consistent with its Charter and the Rights Agreement) of the date when the same shall take place
(and specifying the date on which the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
exchange their Series C Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and (C) in the case of an Initial Public
Offering, at least thirty (30) days’ written notice (or such shorter period as is provided to the
Company’s stockholders in a manner consistent with its Charter and the Rights Agreement) prior to
the effective date thereof.




     Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the event requiring the
notice, and (ii) if any adjustment is required to be made, (A) the amount of such adjustment, (B)
the method by which such adjustment was calculated, (C) the adjusted Exercise Price (if the
Exercise Price has been adjusted), and (D) the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after
giving effect to such adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by
reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid, addressed to the Warrantholder at the address
for Warrantholder set forth in the registry referred to in Section 8.

Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder’s rights contained herein will be

     (d) Risk of No Registration. The Warrantholder understands that if the Company does
not register with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934
Act”), or file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, or if a registration statement
covering the securities under the Act is not in effect when it desires to sell (i) the rights to
purchase Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the Series C Preferred Stock
issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, it may be required to hold such securities for an
indefinite period. The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of (A) its rights hereunder to
purchase Series C Preferred Stock or (B) Series C Preferred Stock issued or issuable hereunder

be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction and enforced by the prevailing party as a final
judgment of such court.

hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.



     (t) Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to
measure in money the damages which will accrue to Warrantholder by reason of the Company’s failure
to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement
