Illinois limited liability company (the “Investor”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Common Stock Purchase
Agreement by and between the parties hereto, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).

WHEREAS:

     A. (i) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has
agreed to issue to the Investor, and the Investor has agreed to purchase, up to Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the
“Purchase Shares”), and (ii) the Company has agreed to issue to the Investor such number of shares
of Common Stock as is required pursuant to Section 4(e) of the Purchase Agreement (the “Commitment
Shares”); and

     B. To induce the Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to
provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations there under, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “1933 Act”), and
applicable state securities laws.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:

     1. DEFINITIONS.

          a. “Person” means any person or entity including any corporation, a limited liability company,
an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or
political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.

          b. “Register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing
and filing one or more registration statements of the Company in compliance with the 1933 Act and
pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on
a continuous basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such
registration statement(s) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

          c. “Registrable Securities” means the Purchase Shares which have been, or which may from time
to time be, issued or issuable to the Investor upon purchases of the Available Amount under the
Purchase Agreement (without regard to any limitation or restriction on purchases) and the
Commitment Shares issued or issuable to the Investor and any shares of capital stock issued or
issuable with respect to the Purchase Shares or the Commitment Shares as a result of any stock split,
stock

 

 

dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise, without regard to any
limitation on purchases under the Purchase Agreement.

          d. “Registration Statement” means the registration statement of the Company covering the sale
of the Registrable Securities by the Investor and, at the Company’s option, the sale of the shares
of the Company’s Common Stock as to which the Company has registration obligations to Intuitive
Surgical Operations, Inc. (“Intuitive”), pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement
between the Company and Intuitive dated as of August 17, 2010, as the same may be amended from time
to time (the “Intuitive Shares”).

     2. REGISTRATION.

          a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall within ten (10) Business Days from the
date hereof file with the SEC the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement shall
register the Registrable Securities and may register, at the Company’s option, the Intuitive
Shares, but no other securities of the Company. The Investor and its counsel shall have a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement or any amendment to
such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC. Investor
shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement or any
amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest practicable date. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 3(e) hereof, the Company shall
use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415
promulgated under the 1933 Act and available for sales of all of the Registrable Securities at all
times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable
Securities without registration and without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule
144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the
Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities and no Available Amount remains under the
Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading.

          b. Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities
regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933
Act, a prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall have a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon each such prospectus or prospectus supplement
prior to its filing with the SEC. The Investor shall use its reasonable efforts to comment upon
such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the final version
of such prospectus.

          c. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares
available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”),
so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any
event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall
use its reasonable efforts to cause
such New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof.

2

 

     3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

     With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are
registered pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(c), including on any New Registration Statement,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the
Registrable Securities for sale in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and,
pursuant thereto, the Company and Investor shall have the following obligations:

          a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section
3(e), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to any Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such Registration Statement, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such
period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth
in such Registration Statement.

          b. The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement
or any New Registration Statement and, upon the Investor’s request, all amendments and supplements
thereto at least one (1) Business Day prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document
in a form to which Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any
requested amendments or supplements thereto within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor
receives the final version thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge, any
correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating
to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.

          c. Upon request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after
the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of the Registration Statement and
any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated
therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, a
copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such
other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may
reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by the Investor.

          d. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless
an exemption from registration and qualification is available, the Registrable Securities covered
by a registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in
the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those
jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registrations and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the
Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for
sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the

3

 

Company shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction.

          e. As promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the
Company shall notify the Investor in writing (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction
to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) (i) of the
occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a
Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein, and (ii) of the happening of any event or
the existence of any facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement
or amendment to such registration statement to include required financial statements or to correct
such untrue statement or omission and, upon the Investor’s request, deliver a copy of such
supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may
reasonably request). In providing this notice to the Investor, the Company shall not include any
other information about the facts underlying the Company’s determination and shall not in any way
communicate any material nonpublic information about the Company or the Common Stock to the
Investor, unless otherwise requested by the Investor. The Company shall also as promptly as
reasonably practicable notify the Investor in writing (x) when a prospectus or any prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be
delivered to the Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness), (y) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related
prospectus or related information, and (z) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a
post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate (which notice, in the
case of (y) or (z), may be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until
the requisite amendments or supplements have been made and, if applicable, declared effective).

          f. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any
stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or the suspension of
the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order
or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest
practical time and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

          g. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities
exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if
any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such
exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the
Principal
Market (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Company shall pay all fees
and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

          h. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable
Securities to be offered pursuant to any Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be
in

4

 

such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such
names as the Investor may reasonably request.

          i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its
Common Stock.

          j. If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) promptly incorporate in a
prospectus supplement, revised prospectus or post-effective amendment such information as the
Investor believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable
Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering
of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as promptly as practicable after being notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or
make amendments to any Registration Statement.

          k. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities.

          l. Within one (1) Business Day after any Registration Statement is ordered effective by the
SEC, the Company shall deliver to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies
to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Thereafter, if reasonably requested by the
Investor at any time, the Company shall deliver to the Investor a written confirmation whether or
not the effectiveness of such Registration Statement has lapsed at any time for any reason
(including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the registration
statement is current and available to the Investor for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.

     4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

          a. The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company reasonably
requires from the Investor in connection with any Registration Statement hereunder. The Investor
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by
it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be
reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute
such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

          b. The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in
connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement (or any amendment or
supplement thereto) hereunder.

          c. The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of
any event or existence of facts of the kind described in Section 3(f) or any notice of the kind
described in the first sentence of Section 3(e) the Investor will immediately discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement(s) covering such
Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by

5

 

Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock
without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection
with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a
contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and for which the
Investor has not yet settled.

          d. The Investor agrees that unless the Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to all the
conditions of Rule 144, it will sell the Securities only pursuant to the Registration Statement, in
a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Registration Statement, and in a
manner in compliance with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

     5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

          All expenses of the Company incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration,
listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

     6. INDEMNIFICATION.

          a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold
harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the
directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each Person,
if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in
settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken
from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory
agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or
may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as
such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the
securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered
(“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including,
without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the
offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively,
“Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are
incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or

6

 

other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section
6(a): (w) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or
Section 3(e); (x) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any
such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that
are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue
statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the
revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was
promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a
violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (y) shall not be
available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to
be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (z) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor
pursuant to Section 9.

          b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the
Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same
extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each
Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
(collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim
or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs either
(x) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on
Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in
connection with such registration statement, (y) if the untrue statement or omission of material
fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then
amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the
Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior
to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice,
used it, or (z) based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the
prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further,
however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim
or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the

7

 

Investor as a result of the sale
of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified
Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to
Section 9.

          c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or
proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party,
the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in
such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available
to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The
indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all
times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected
without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably
withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter
for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

          d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the
amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
Indemnified Damages are incurred.

          e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action
or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or
others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

8

 

     7. CONTRIBUTION.

          To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law,
the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for
which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited
in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable
Securities.

     8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

          With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the
Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the
Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense during the Registration Period, to:

          a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
Rule 144;

          b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such
requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable
provisions of Rule 144;

          c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon
request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or
disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to
sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

          d. take such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the
Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation,
delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the
Company’s
Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate
with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

          The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and
provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at
law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions upon any
breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.

	 	9. 	 ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Investor, including by merger or consolidation. The Investor may not
assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

9

 

     10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Investor.

     11. MISCELLANEOUS.

          a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is
deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

          b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given
under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:
(i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the
sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight

Re: CARDICA, INC.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     CARDICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has entered into that certain Common
Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Aspire
Capital Fund, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Buyer
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in an amount
up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Purchase Shares”), in accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2010, with the Buyer (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933
Act”).

     In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and as required by
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) the following shares of Common Stock:

	 	(1)	 	Up to 4,635,180 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate value of up to
$10,000,000 that may issued from time to time upon purchase from the Company by the
Buyer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement
from time to time (the “Purchase Shares”); and
	 
	 	(2)	 	295,567 shares of Common Stock which have been issued to the Buyer as a
commitment fee (the “Commitment Shares”).

In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement, on December 16, 2010, the Company filed a Registration Statement (File No.
333-_________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC relating to the sale by Buyer of the
Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares.

     In connection with the foregoing, the Company advises you that a member of the SEC’s staff has
advised it by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement
effective under the 1933 Act at _____ [P].M. on __________, 20__ and that the Company has no
knowledge, after

 

 

telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending
the Registration Statement’s effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose
are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC. Accordingly, the Purchase Shares and the Commitment
Shares are available for sale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and may
issued without any restrictive legend.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	Very truly yours,

Cardica, Inc.

CARDICA, Inc.

FORM OF COMMON STOCK WARRANT AGREEMENT

     Common Stock Warrant Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of ______________ between
Cardica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and ___________________, a [corporation]
[national banking association] organized and existing under the laws of __________________ and
having a corporate trust office in _______________________, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”).

     Whereas, the Company proposes to sell [if Warrants are sold with Common Stock —
Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Other Securities”) with] warrant
certificates evidencing one or more warrants (the “Warrants” or, individually, a “Warrant”)
representing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per
share (such shares underlying the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”), such warrant certificates and
other warrant certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement being herein called the “Warrant
Certificates”; and

     Whereas, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and
the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer,
exchange, exercise and replacement of the Warrant Certificates, and in this Agreement wishes to set
forth, among other things, the form and provisions of the Warrant Certificates and the terms and
conditions on which they may be issued, registered, transferred, exchanged, exercised and replaced.

     Now Therefore, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND EXECUTION AND

DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

     1.1 Issuance Of Warrants. [If Warrants alone—Upon issuance, each Warrant Certificate shall
evidence one or more Warrants.] [If Other Securities and Warrants—Warrant Certificates shall be
[initially] issued in connection with the issuance of the Other Securities [but shall be separately
transferable on and after ______________ (the “Detachable Date”)] [and shall not be separately
transferable] and each Warrant Certificate shall evidence one or more Warrants.] Each Warrant
evidenced thereby shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and
therein, to purchase one Warrant Security. [If Other Securities and Warrants—Warrant Certificates
shall be initially issued in units with the Other Securities and each Warrant Certificate included
in such a unit shall evidence ________ Warrants for each ___________ [shares] [a share of] of Other
Securities included in such unit.]

     1.2 Execution And Delivery Of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, whenever
issued, shall be in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, shall
be dated the date of its countersignature by the Warrant Agent and may have such

1

 

letters, numbers,
or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or
endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company
executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and
as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with
any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any
securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, or to conform to usage. The Warrant
Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by any of its present or future chief
executive officers, presidents, senior vice presidents, vice presidents, chief financial officers,
chief legal officers, treasurers, assistant treasurers, controllers, assistant controllers,
secretaries or assistant secretaries under its corporate seal reproduced thereon. Such signatures
may be manual or facsimile signatures of such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Warrant Certificates. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile
thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates.

     No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall
be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of
the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by
the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been
duly issued hereunder.

     In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates
either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant
Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent, such
Warrant Certificates may be countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the person who signed
Warrant Certificates ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be
signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such
Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the
execution of this Agreement any such person was not such officer.

     The term “holder” or “holder of a Warrant Certificate” as used herein shall mean any person in
whose name at the time any Warrant Certificate shall be registered upon the books to be maintained
by the Warrant Agent for that purpose [If Other Securities and Warrants are not immediately
detachable—or upon the registration of the Other Securities prior to the Detachable Date. Prior
to the Detachable Date, the Company will, or will cause the registrar of the Other Securities to,
make available at all times to the Warrant Agent such information as to holders of the Other
Securities as may be necessary to keep the Warrant Agent’s records up to date].

     1.3 Issuance Of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates evidencing the right to purchase
Warrant Shares may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent upon the execution
of this Warrant Agreement or from time to time thereafter. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt
of Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign such Warrant
Certificates and shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to or upon the order of the Company.

ARTICLE 2

WARRANT PRICE, DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

     2.1 Warrant Price. During the period specified in Section 2.2, each Warrant shall, subject to
the terms of this Warrant Agreement and the applicable Warrant Certificate, entitle the holder
thereof to purchase the number of Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Warrant Certificate at
an exercise price of $_________ per Warrant Security, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events, as hereinafter provided. Such purchase price per Warrant Security is referred to
in this Agreement as the “Warrant Price.”

     2.2 Duration Of Warrants. Each Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, as
specified herein, on or after [the date thereof] [______________] and at or before [______] p.m.,
[__________] time, on [________________] or such later date as the Company may designate by notice
to the Warrant Agent and the holders of Warrant Certificates mailed to their addresses as set forth
in the record books of the Warrant Agent (the “Expiration Date”). Each Warrant not exercised at or
before [______] p.m., [________] time, on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights of
the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant under this Agreement shall cease.

     2.3 Exercise Of Warrants.

          (a) During the period specified in Section 2.2, the Warrants may be exercised to purchase a
whole number of Warrant Shares by providing certain information as set forth on the reverse side of
the Warrant Certificate and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States of America, [in
cash or by certified check or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds] [by bank wire
transfer in immediately available funds] the Warrant Price for each Warrant Security with respect
to which a Warrant is being exercised to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office, provided
that such exercise is subject to receipt within five business days of such payment by the Warrant
Agent of the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase Warrant Shares set forth on
the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed. The date on
which payment in full of the Warrant Price is received by the Warrant Agent shall, subject to
receipt of the Warrant Certificate as aforesaid, be deemed to be the date on which the Warrant is
exercised; provided, however, that if, at the date of receipt of such Warrant Certificates and
payment in full of the Warrant Price, the transfer books for the Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of such Warrants shall be closed, no such receipt of such Warrant Certificates and no
such payment of such Warrant Price shall be effective to constitute the person so designated to be
named as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on such date, but shall be effective to
constitute such person as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes at the
opening of business on the next succeeding day on which the transfer books for the Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrants shall be opened, and the certificates for the
Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the
date on such next succeeding day on which the transfer books shall next be opened, and until such
date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Warrant Shares. The
Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Warrant Price in an account
of the Company maintained with it and shall advise the Company by telephone at the end of each day
on which a payment for

3

 

the exercise of Warrants is received of the amount so deposited to its account. The Warrant
Agent shall promptly confirm such telephone advice to the Company in writing.

          (b) The Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as practicable, advise the Company
of (i) the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which Warrants were exercised, (ii) the
instructions of each holder of the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants with respect to
delivery of the Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled upon such exercise, (iii) delivery
of Warrant Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants for the remaining Warrant
Shares after such exercise, and (iv) such other information as the Company shall reasonably
require.

          (c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall issue to or
upon the order of the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant the Warrant Shares
to which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may
be directed by such holder. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant
Certificate are exercised, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant
Agent shall manually countersign and deliver, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants for the
number of Warrant Shares remaining unexercised.

          (d) The Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of the Warrant
Shares, and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any Warrant Security until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has
been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.

          (e) Prior to the issuance of any Warrants there shall have been reserved, and the Company
shall at all times through the Expiration Date keep reserved, out of its authorized but unissued
Common Stock, a number of shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrants.

ARTICLE 3

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF

WARRANT CERTIFICATES

     3.1 No Rights As Warrant Securityholder Conferred By Warrants Or Warrant Certificates. No
Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced thereby shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the
rights of a holder of Common Stock of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to
receive the payment of dividends or distributions, if any, on the Warrant Shares or to exercise any
voting rights, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Warrant
Certificate.

     3.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated Or Destroyed Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Warrant
Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it and the Company of the ownership of and the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and/or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company and, in the case of mutilation,

4

 

upon surrender of the mutilated Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent for cancellation,
then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of
the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and
evidencing Warrants for a like number of Warrant Shares. Upon the issuance of any new Warrant
Certificate under this Section 3.2, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every
substitute Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 3.2 in lieu of any
lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall represent an additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement equally and
proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 3.2 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed
Warrant Certificates.

     3.3 Holder Of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any of the provisions
of this Agreement, any holder of a Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent,
the holder of any Warrant Shares or the holder of any other Warrant Certificate, may, in such
holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any
suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of,
such holder’s right to exercise the Warrants evidenced by such holder’s Warrant Certificate in the
manner provided in such holder’s Warrant Certificate and in this Agreement.

     3.4 Adjustments.

          (a) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrants
shall be proportionately increased. Conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable under the Warrants shall be proportionately decreased.

          (b) If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or
other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants) shall have received or
become entitled to receive, without payment therefore,

               (i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or
indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution;

5

 

               (ii) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend paid or payable out of
the Company’s current or retained earnings;

               (iii) any evidence of the Company’s indebtedness or rights to subscribe for or purchase the
Company’s indebtedness; or

               (iv) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way
of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement
(other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall
be covered by the terms of Section 3.4(a) above), then and in each such case, the holder of each
Warrant shall, upon the exercise of the Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number
of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration
therefore, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash and indebtedness
or rights to subscribe for or purchase indebtedness) which such holder would hold on the date of
such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date on which
holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional
stock and other securities and property.

          (c) In case of (i) any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock
of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided
for in Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) above), (ii) share exchange, merger or similar transaction
of the Company with or into another person or entity (other than a share exchange, merger or
similar transaction in which the Company is the acquiring or surviving corporation and which does
not result in any change in the Common Stock other than the issuance of additional shares of Common
Stock) or (iii) the sale, exchange, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety (in any such case, a “Reorganization
Event”), then, as a condition of such Reorganization Event, lawful provisions shall be made, and
duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to
the holders of the Warrants, so that the holders of the Warrants shall have the right at any time
prior to the expiration of the Warrants to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon
the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable in connection with such Reorganization Event by a holder of the same number of
Warrant Shares as were purchasable by the holders of the Warrants immediately prior to such
Reorganization Event. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the
rights and interests of the holders of the Warrants so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter
be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon
exercise the Warrants, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Warrant Price payable
hereunder provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. In the case of any
transaction described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall thereupon be relieved of
any further obligation hereunder or under the Warrants, and the Company as the predecessor
corporation may thereupon or at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Such
successor or assuming entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name
or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Warrants issuable hereunder which heretofore shall
not have been signed by the Company, and may execute and deliver securities in its own name, in
fulfillment of its obligations to deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. All the
Warrants so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this

6

 

Agreement as the Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement as though all of such Warrants had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
In any case of any such Reorganization Event, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in
substance) may be made in the Warrants thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. The Warrant
Agent may receive a written opinion of legal counsel as conclusive evidence that any such
Reorganization Event complies with the provisions of this Section 3.4.

          (d) The Company may, at its option, at any time until the Expiration Date, reduce the then
current Warrant Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company for
any period not exceeding twenty consecutive days (as evidenced in a resolution adopted by such
Board of Directors), but only upon giving the notices required by Section 3.5 at least ten days
prior to taking such action.

          (e) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, no adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be
made by reason of the issuance of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or securities carrying the right to purchase any of the
foregoing or for any other reason whatsoever.

          (f) No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of Warrants. If more than
one Warrant shall be exercised at one time by the same holder, the number of full Warrant Shares
which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to the Warrants so exercised. Instead of any fractional
Warrant Security which would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall
pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
last reported sale price (or bid price if there were no sales) per Warrant Security, in either case
as reported on the principal registered national securities exchange on which the Warrant Shares
are listed or admitted to trading on the business day that next precedes the day of exercise or, if

EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

     4.1 Exchange And Transfer Of Warrant Certificates. [If Other Securities with Warrants which
are immediately detachable—Upon] [ If Other Securities with Warrants which are not immediately
detachable—Prior to the Detachable Date, a Warrant Certificate may be exchanged or transferred
only together with the Other Security to which the Warrant Certificate was initially attached, and
only for the purpose of effecting or in conjunction with an exchange or transfer of such Other
Security. Prior to any Detachable Date, each transfer of the Other Security shall operate also to
transfer the related Warrant Certificates. After the Detachable Date, upon] surrender at the
corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent, Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants may be
exchanged for Warrant Certificates in other denominations evidencing such Warrants or the transfer
thereof may be registered in whole or in part; provided that such other Warrant Certificates
evidence Warrants for the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant Certificates so
surrendered. The Warrant Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office, books in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register Warrant Certificates and
exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrant Certificates, upon surrender of the Warrant
Certificates to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office for exchange or registration of
transfer, properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of registration of transfer
and written instructions for transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant
Agent. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant
Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange or
registration of transfer. Whenever any Warrant Certificates are so surrendered for exchange or
registration of transfer, an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and
deliver to the person or persons entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates
duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be
required to effect any exchange or registration of transfer which will result in the issuance of a
Warrant Certificate evidencing a Warrant for a fraction of a Warrant Security or a number of
Warrants for a whole number of

9

 

Warrant Shares and a fraction of a Warrant Security. All Warrant Certificates issued upon any
exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same obligations and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as
the Warrant Certificate surrendered for such exchange or registration of transfer.

     4.2 Treatment Of Holders Of Warrant Certificates. [If Other Securities and Warrants are not
immediately detachable—Prior to the Detachable Date, the Company, the Warrant Agent and all other
persons may treat the owner of the Other Security as the owner of the Warrant Certificates
initially attached thereto for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights
represented by the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificates, any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding. After the Detachable Date and prior to due presentment of a Warrant Certificate
for registration of transfer, the] [The] Company, the Warrant Agent and all other persons may treat
the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as
the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any
notice to the contrary notwithstanding.

     4.3 Cancellation Of Warrant Certificates. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for exchange,
registration of transfer or exercise of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall, if surrendered to the
Company, be delivered to the Warrant Agent and all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so delivered
to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly canceled by the Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued and,
except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof.

     The Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Company from time to time or otherwise dispose of
canceled Warrant Certificates in a manner satisfactory to the Company.

not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under
any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates
authenticated by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or
for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Agent
shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of
its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case of the
receipt of any written demand from a holder of a Warrant Certificate with respect to such default,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate
or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or, except as provided in Section 6.2
hereof, to make any demand upon the Company.

     5.3 Resignation, Removal And Appointment Of Successors.

          (a) The Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Warrant
Certificates, that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder until all the Warrants
have been exercised or are no longer exercisable.

          (b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as agent by giving written notice to the Company
of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become
effective; provided that such date shall not be less than three months after the date on which such
notice is given unless the Company otherwise agrees. The Warrant Agent hereunder may be removed at
any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the Company
and specifying such removal and the intended date when it shall become effective. Such resignation
or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a
successor Warrant Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company authorized under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization to exercise corporate trust powers) and the acceptance of such
appointment by such successor Warrant Agent. The obligation of the Company under Section 5.2(a)

writing, filed with the successor Warrant Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor
Warrant Agent and acceptance by the successor Warrant Agent of such appointment, the Warrant Agent
shall cease to be Warrant Agent hereunder.

its predecessor and to the Company an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon such successor Warrant Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such
predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, and such
predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become

following basis: during the period from           , through and including

of the Warrant Shares, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of dividends or
distributions, if any, on the Warrant Shares (except to the extent set forth in the Warrant

the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set
forth at this place.
