TELKONET, INC.
Warrant To Purchase Common Stock
Warrant No.: A-2
Number of Shares of Common Stock: 500,000
Date of Issuance: October 27, 2005 (Issuance Date)
TELKONET, INC., a Utah corporation (the Company), hereby certifies that, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, PORTSIDE
GROWTH & OPPORTUNITY FUND, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the Holder), is
entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price
(as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender or exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common
Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement
hereof, the Warrant), at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 p.m.,
New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), five hundred thousand (500,000) fully
paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the Warrant Shares). Except as
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in
Section 15. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the SPA Warrants)
issued pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 26,
2005 (the Subscription Date), by and among the Company and the investors (the Buyers) referred
to therein (the Securities Purchase Agreement).
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including,
without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by
the Holder on any day on or after the date hereof, in whole or in part, by
(i) delivery of a
written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Exercise Notice),
of the Holders election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an
amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to
which this Warrant is being exercised (the Aggregate Exercise Price) in cash or wire transfer of
immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised
pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to
deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of
the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect
as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the first Business Day following the
date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price
(or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the Exercise Delivery Documents), the Company shall transmit
by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the
Holder and the Companys transfer agent (the Transfer Agent). On or before the third Business
Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents
(the Share Delivery Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is
participating in The Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program,
upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holders or its designees balance account with
DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by
overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in
the Companys share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the
Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above or notification to
the Company of a Cashless Exercise referred to in Section 1(d), the Holder shall be deemed for all
corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates
evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise
pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant
submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an
exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business
Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section
7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior
to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this
Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with
respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, Exercise Price means $5.00,
subject to adjustment as provided herein.
-2-
(c) Companys Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail for any
reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the
Companys share register or to credit the Holders balance account with DTC for such number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holders exercise of this Warrant,
then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to
the Holder on each day after such third Business Day that the issuance of such shares of Common
Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is
entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of
Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a). In addition to the foregoing, if within
three (3) Business Days after the Companys receipt of the facsimile copy of a Exercise Notice the
Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of
Common Stock on the Companys share register or credit the Holders balance account with DTC for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holders exercise
hereunder, and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company
(a Buy-In), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holders request and
in the Holders discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holders
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased (the Buy-In Price), at which point the Companys obligation to deliver such certificate
(and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and
pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the
product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date
of exercise.
(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
only if a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the
Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the Unavailable Warrant Shares) is
not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole
discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment
otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate
Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the Net Number of shares of Common
Stock determined according to the following formula (a Cashless Exercise):

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

exercised.
B
= the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg)
on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C
= the Exercise Price then in effect for
the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such
exercise.
(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price
or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder
the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with
Section 12.
(f) Limitations on Exercises.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the exercise
of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this
Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such
Person (together with such Persons affiliates) would beneficially own in
excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person
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 shares of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining,
unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and
its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially
owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any
convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this
paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For
purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Companys most recent Form 10-K, Form
10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the
Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request
of the Holder, the Company shall within one Business Day confirm orally and
in writing to the Holder the number of
-4-
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 the SPA Securities and the SPA
Warrants, by the Holder and its
affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may
increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in
excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such
increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day
after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or
decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of SPA
Warrants.
(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be
obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant
if the issuance of such Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of
Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of this Warrant
(including, as applicable, any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion
or exercise of the SPA Securities) without breaching the Companys
obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the
Exchange Cap), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event
that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by
the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of
Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from
outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until
such approval or written opinion is obtained, no Buyer shall be issued, upon
exercise or conversion, as applicable, of any SPA Warrants or SPA
Securities, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of
the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Buyer pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date and the denominator of
which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Buyers
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date (with
respect to each Buyer, the Exchange Cap Allocation). In the event that
any Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of the Buyers SPA Warrants,
the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Buyers
Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall
apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap
Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of
SPA Warrants shall exercise all of such holders SPA Warrants into a number
of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such
holders Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holders
Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually
issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap
Allocations
-5-
of the remaining holders of SPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in
proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants then
held by each such holder.
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and
the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after
the Subscription Date the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed
to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common
Stock deemed to have been issued by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities (as
defined in the SPA Securities) for a consideration per share less than a price (the Applicable
Price) equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed
issuance or sale (the foregoing a Dilutive Issuance), then immediately after such Dilutive
Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of
(A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient
determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed
Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any,
received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I)
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of
shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. Upon each such
adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted to the
number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this
Section 2(a), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants
any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of
any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such
price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(i), the lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of
such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration
(if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share
of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of
the Option and upon
-6-
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of
the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities
upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares
of
Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such
share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 2(a)(ii), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange shall be equal
to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or
receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the
issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise
or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the
Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which
adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other
provisions of this Section 2(a), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price
or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any
Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be
adjusted to the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares which would
have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities
provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional
consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be,
at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section
2(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or
decreased in the manner described in the immediately
-7-
preceding sentence,
then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock
deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No
adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made if such adjustment
would result in an increase of the
Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.
(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option
is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the
Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the
Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If
any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or
sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration
received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the
Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the
amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value
of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities which are listed on a securities exchange or stock market, in
which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the
Closing Sale Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners
of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will
be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and
business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The
fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be
determined jointly by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Required
Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days
after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the Valuation
Event), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five
(5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an
independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the
Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and
binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of
such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders
of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or
in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such
-8-
record date will
be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock
deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or
the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such
right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(b) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares of Common Stock. If the
Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be
proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines
(by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be
proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the
close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of
this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity
features), then the Companys Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided
that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease
the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares
of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any
distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin
off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction)
(a Distribution), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date
fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the
Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a
price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall
be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding
such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Companys
Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the
Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such
record date; and
-9-
(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number
of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date
fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the
Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or
common stock) (Other Shares of Common Stock) of a company whose common shares are traded on a
national securities exchange or a national automated
quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of
Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be
identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number
of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to
the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and
with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of
this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the
immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with
the first part of this paragraph (b).
4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if
at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to
purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class
of shares of Common Stock (the Purchase Rights), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire,
upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder
could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this
Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(b) Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a
Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the
provisions of this Section (4)(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory
to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security
of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and
substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the
value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and
exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of
Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and
satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity is a publicly traded
corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the
occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity
-10-
shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of
this Warrant referring to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may
exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the
Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall
deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any
time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common
Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other
property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as
adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution
for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant
to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with
respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a Corporate Event), the Company shall make
appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an
exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but
prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever
(including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been
entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Provision made pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required
Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4(b) above, in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction, if the Holder has not exercised the Warrant in full prior to the
consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right to require such
Successor Entity to purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, simultaneously
with the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction and in lieu of the warrant referred to in
Section 4(b), cash in an amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this
Warrant on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black and
Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S.
Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request
and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 60% and the 100 day volatility obtained
from the HVT function on Bloomberg.
5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will
not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer
of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities,
or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this
Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the
-11-
