To Purchase [              ]
Shares of Class A Common Stock of


 


Date: 
[                ],
2009


WAVE SYSTEMS
CORP.


 


THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [                                     ]
(the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the
limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time
on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior
to the third anniversary of the date hereof (the “Termination Date”) but
not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Wave Systems Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [          ]  shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Class A
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).  The purchase price of one share of Common
Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).  This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the
terms of that certain Subscription Agreement, of even date herewith (the “Subscription
Agreement”), among the Company and the Holder.


 


Section 1.                    Definitions.  As used herein, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:


 


“Trading Day” means a
day on which the Common Stock is traded on a Trading Market.


 


“Trading Market” means
the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or
quoted for trading on the date in question: the Nasdaq Capital Market, the
Nasdaq Global Market, the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange,
the Nasdaq National Market or the OTC Bulletin Board.


 


Section 2.                    Exercise.


 


a)                                      Exercise
of Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time
or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination
Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice
of Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at
the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company).  The Holder shall be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company when the Holder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in
full.  Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares
available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of
Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable
number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall honor any valid Notice of
Exercise Form pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Company
shall deliver an objection to any


 


1

















 


invalid Notice of Exercise Form within
3 Trading Days of its receipt thereof. 
The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the
purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant
Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the
amount stated on the face hereof.


 


b)                                     Exercise Price.  The exercise price of the Common Stock under
this Warrant shall be $0.55, subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).


 


c)                                      Cashless
Exercise.  If at any time after six (6) months
from the date of issuance of this Warrant there is no effective registration
statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of
the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at
such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be
entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:


 


 (A) =
the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;


(B) = 
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and


                                                (X) =
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather
than a cashless exercise.


 


For purposes hereof “VWAP” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if
the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume
weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted for trading as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (based on a
Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New
York City time); (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market,
the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the
nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board; (c) if the Common Stock
is not then quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the
Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets,
LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of
reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so
reported; or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock as determined in a reasonable manner and in good faith by the
Company.


 


d)                                     Mechanics
of Exercise.


 


i.                                          Authorization
of Warrant Shares.  The Company
covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the
issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issue).


 


ii.                                       Delivery
of Certificates Upon Exercise. 
Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the
transfer agent of the Company to


 


2

















 


the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is a participant in such
system, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the
Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3 Trading Days from the delivery to the
Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required)
and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant
Share Delivery Date”).  This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is
received by the Company.  The Warrant
Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of
record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised
by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be
paid by the Holder, if any, have been paid. 
The Company and the Holder may also agree to make arrangements for the
delivery of the Warrant Shares, and the payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price, by means of “DVP”, as described in the Subscription Agreement.


 


iii.                                    Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise.  If
this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the
request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time
of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares,
deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.


 


iv.                                   Rescission
Rights.  If the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 2(d) by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind
such exercise.


 


v.                                      No
Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.


 


vi.                                   Charges,
Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of
certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for
any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by
the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or
in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,
that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name
other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise
shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed
by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition


 


3

















 


thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to
reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.


 


vii.                                Closing
of Books.  The Company will not close
its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely
exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.


 


viii.                             Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In addition to any other rights available to
the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the
Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant
to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (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 shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


 


e)                                      Exercise
Limitations.


 


i.                                          Holder’s
Restrictions.  The Company shall not
effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a 
Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant,
pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect
to such issuance after exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s
affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such
Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable
Notice of


 


4

















 


Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the
determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of
shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such
Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other Warrants) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set
forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it
being acknowledged by a Holder that the Company is not representing to such
Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules
required to be filed in accordance therewith. 
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies,
the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a Holder, and the submission of
a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be each Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case
subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no
obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(e),
in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may
rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the
Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a
more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by
the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding.   Upon
the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading
Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding.   In
any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined
after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall
be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant.  The Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e) may be waived by
such Holder, at the election of


 


5

















 


such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’
prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to
9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this
Warrant, and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to
apply.  Upon such a change by a Holder of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99%
limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be waived by such
Holder.  The provisions of this paragraph
shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the
terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion
hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial
Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements
necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of
this Warrant.


 


ii.                                       Exercise
Without Registration Statement.  If,
at the time of any exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares shall not be
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
the Company may require, as a condition of such exercise, that the Holder
furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company to the effect that such exercise may be made without registration under
the Securities Act or registration or qualification under any state or other
applicable securities laws.


 


Section 3.                    Certain Adjustments.


 


a)                                      Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance
of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company
pursuant to this Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock
any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately adjusted.  Any adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.


 


b)                                     Fundamental
Transactions.  If, at any time after
the Initial Exercise Date, there shall occur any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value or a
subdivision or combination as provided for in


 


6
















 


Section 3(a) above), or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the
payment of a liquidating distribution, then, as part of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or liquidating distribution,
lawful provision shall be made so that Holder shall have the right thereafter
to receive upon the exercise hereof (to the extent still exercisable) the kind
and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which Holder
would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or liquidating
distribution, as the case may be, Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.  In any such case, appropriate
adjustment (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company)
shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with
respect to the rights and interests thereafter of Holder such that the
provisions set forth in this paragraph (b) shall thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as is reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or
other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.


 


c)                                      Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or
the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of
a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.


 


d)                                     Notice
to Holders.  Whenever the Exercise
Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.


 


Section 4.                    Transfer of Warrant.


 


a)                                      Transferability.  Subject to Section 5(a) below, this
Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with
a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto
duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to
pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the
name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a
new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this
Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  A
Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.


 


b)                                     New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon
presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a),
as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the


 


7

















 


Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice.


 


Section 5.                    Miscellaneous.


 


a)                                      Title
to Warrant.  Prior to the Termination
Date and subject to compliance with applicable laws and Section 4 of this
Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in
part, at the office or agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the
Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed.


 


b)                                     No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. 
This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other
rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.  Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise),
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such
Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
later of the date of such surrender or payment.


 


c)                                      Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that
upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate
relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the
Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company
will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and
dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.


 


d)                                     Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc.  If the last
or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right
required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then
such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.


 


e)                                      Authorized
Shares.  The Company covenants that
during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide
for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this Warrant.  The Company further
covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to
its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.


 


f)                                        Governing
Law; Jurisdiction.  This Warrant will
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the
State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law
that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby
shall only be instituted, heard and adjudicated (excluding appeals) only in a
state or federal court located in New York, and


 


8

















 


each party hereto knowingly, voluntarily and
intentionally waives any objection which such party may now or hereafter have
to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding, and
irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any such court in
any such action, suit or proceeding. 
Service of process in connection with any such action, suit 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 Agreement.


 


g)                                     Restrictions.  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant
Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.


 


h)                                     Notices.  Any notice, request or other document
required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company
shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Subscription
Agreement.


 


i)                                         Limitation
of Liability.  No provision hereof,
in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or
purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges
of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.


 


j)                                         Remedies.  Holder, in addition to being entitled to
exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach
by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense
in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.


 


k)                                      Successors
and Assigns.  Subject to applicable
securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company
and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended
to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and
shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.


 


l)                                         Amendment.  This Warrant may be modified or amended or
the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.


 


m)                                   Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this
