STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase 16,366,612 Shares of Common Stock of
DATA RACE, INC.
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Grenville Finance Ltd. (the
"Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on
exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after July
30, 2001 (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior to the close of business
on July 30, 2004 (the "Termination Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for
and purchase from Data Race, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the
State of Texas (the "Company"), up to 16,366,612 shares (the "Warrant Shares")
of Common Stock, no par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock").
The purchase price of one share of Common Stock (the "Exercise Price") under
this Warrant shall be $0.07027. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant
Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as
provided herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Warrant
and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 26, 2001 pursuant to
which this Warrant has been issued (the "Purchase Agreement"), the Purchase
Agreement shall control. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
1
1. Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, subject to Section 7 herein, in whole or in part, at the office or
agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares
which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant,
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes
in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise of the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or
after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the close of business on
the Termination Date by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of
Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) and upon payment of the Exercise
Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check
drawn on a United States bank, or by means of a cashless exercise, the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant
Shares so purchased. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be
delivered to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the date on
which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of
record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been
exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes
required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to
the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by
this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical
with this Warrant.
(c) If there is no registration in effect permitting the resale by the
Holder of the Warrant Shares at any time from and after one year from the
issuance date of this Warrant, this Warrant shall also be exercisable by
means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to
receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
2
(A) = the average of the high and low trading prices per share of
Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of such election on
the Nasdaq Stock Market, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the
Nasdaq Stock Market, then the Principal Market in terms of volume;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and the Notice of
Exercise.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for Warrant Shares to the
extent that (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder
(other than Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) plus
(ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
would be equal to or exceed 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock
then issued and outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant held by such Holder after application of this Section 3(d). As
used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 3(d) applies, the determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the
Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in
the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Exercise shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such
Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case
subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have
no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a Holder
to exercise this Warrant into Warrant Shares at such time as such exercise
will not violate the provisions of this Section 3(d). The provisions of
this Section 3(d) may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the
Holder, with not less than 61 days' prior notice to the Company, and the
provisions of this Section 3(d) shall continue to apply until such 61st day
(or such later date as may be specified in such notice of waiver). No
exercise of this Warrant in violation of this Section 3(d) but otherwise in
accordance with this Warrant shall affect the status of the Warrant Shares
as validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.
4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares
shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of
which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such
3
name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the
event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the
name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder;
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or
records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws,
transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part,
shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such
purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially
in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or
attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the
making of such transfer. In the event that the Holder wishes to transfer a
portion of this Warrant, the Holder shall transfer at least 100,000 shares
underlying this Warrant to any such transferee. Upon such surrender and, if
required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment,
and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of
this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon
presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants
are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to
compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in
such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice.
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense
(other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section
7.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books for
the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle
the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price or by means of a cashless exercise, the Warrant
Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the
record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date
of such surrender or payment.
4
9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants
that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
10. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or
such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday.
11. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.
(a) Stock Splits, etc. The number and kind of securities purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the following.
In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or
make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any
shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other
securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled
to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each
such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other
securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall
thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other
securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant
Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company
resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(b) Anti-Dilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise
Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder and for which
this Warrant is then exercisable pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11(b).
In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein
results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up or
down to the nearest cent.
(i) Adjustment of Exercise Price. If and whenever solely during
the first twelve (12) months of the Exercise Period the Company issues
or sells, or
5
in accordance with Section 8(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or
sold, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share of less
than the then current market price (the "Base Share Price") or for no
consideration (collectively, a "Dilutive Issuance"), then effective
immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be
adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
E' = E x O + P/BSP
--------
CSDO
where:
E' = the adjusted Exercise Price;
E = the then current Exercise Price;
BSP = the Base Share Price;
O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance;
P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as set
forth in Section 11(b)(ii) hereof, received by
the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance; and
CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed
Outstanding immediately after the Dilutive Issuance.
(ii) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 11(b) hereof,
the following will be applicable:
(A) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any
manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether
or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase
Common Stock or other securities exercisable, convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") (such
warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or
Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options")
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon
the exercise of such Options is less than the Base Share Price
("Below Base Price Options"), then the maximum total number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such
Below Base Price Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or
exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of
the date of the issuance or grant of such Below Base Price
Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and
sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock
is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Base Price Options"
is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received
or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or
granting of all such Below Base Price Options, plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to
the Company upon the
6
exercise of all such Below Base Price Options, plus, in the case
of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such
Below Base Price Options, the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration payable upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first
become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of all such Below Base Price Options (assuming full
conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further
adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Below
Base Price Options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange
of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Below
Base Price Options.
(B) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in
any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or
not immediately convertible (other than where the same are
issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share
for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion
or exchange is less than the Base Share Price, then the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such
Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For
the purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or
exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any,
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the
issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any,
payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange
thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become
exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be
made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon exercise,
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(C) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If there is a
change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration
payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the
amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock (in each such case, other than under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise
Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to
the Exercise
7
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such
Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for
such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate,
as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or
sold.
(D) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible
Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon exercise,
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in
fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to
exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall
have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect
will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in
effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such
Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding
immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than
in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
(E) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or
sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes
of this Warrant will be the amount received by the Company
therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions,
underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses
paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance,
grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of
which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration
other than cash received by the Company will be the fair market
value of such consideration, except where such consideration
consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of
the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger
or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving
corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed
to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and
business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to
such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case
may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than
cash or securities will be determined in good faith by an
investment banker or other appropriate expert of national
reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to
the holder hereof, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne
by the Company.
(F) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No
adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the
exercise of this Warrant or any other warrant of this series or
of any other series issued by
8
the Company in connection with the offer and sale of this
Company's securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; (ii)
upon the exercise of or conversion of any Convertible Securities,
options or warrants issued and outstanding on the initial
issuance date of this Warrant; (iii) upon the grant or exercise
of any Convertible Securities which may hereafter be granted or
exercised under any employee benefit plan of the Company now
existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the
issuance of such Convertible Securities is approved by a majority
of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the
Company or a majority of the members of a committee of
non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iv) upon
the issuance of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in a
public offering, whether or not underwritten; (v) upon the
issuance of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in any
transaction of the nature contemplated by Rule 145, promulgated
under the Securities Act; or (vi) in connection with any
strategic partnership or joint venture or acquisition (the
primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital for the
Company).
(iii) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event
which requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each
such case, the Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this
Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable at such price upon exercise, setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which
such calculation is based, provided that such notice shall not contain
any material nonpublic information. Such calculation shall be
certified by the chief financial officer of the Company.
(iv) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the
Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise
required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next
subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried
forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price.
(v) Certain Events. If, at any time during the Exercise Period,
any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment provisions
of this Section 11 but not expressly provided for by such provisions,
the Company will give notice of such event as provided in Section 11
hereof, and the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate
adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common
Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of
the holder shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such event.
9
(vi) Certain Definitions. "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" shall
mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not
including shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company),
plus (x) in the case of any adjustment hereunder resulting from the
issuance of any Options, the maximum total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Options for which the
adjustment is required (including any Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of
such Options), and (y) in the case of any adjustment required
hereunder resulting from the issuance of any Convertible Securities,
the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities for
which the adjustment is required, as of the date of issuance of such
Convertible Securities, if any.
12. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition
of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its
capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the
Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or
distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or
business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor
or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the
due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and
condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 12. For purposes of
this Section 12, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall
include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to
dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which
is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a
specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing
10
provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of
assets.
13. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time during
the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount
and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
14. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number
or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall
promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
Holder notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in the absence of manifest error,
shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
15. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of
its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or
any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or
other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or
business of the Company to, another corporation or,
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to
vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii)
in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20
days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date
on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time
11
is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon
such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written
notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of
Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with
Section 17(d).
16. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the
Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full
authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such
Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Principal Market
upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise
Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof,
or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or
bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a) Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under the
laws of New York, without regard to its conflict of law, principles or
rules, and be subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms set forth in the
Purchase Agreement.
(b) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
12
(c) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the
Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise
enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(d) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.
(e) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of
affirmative action by Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any
liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.
(f) Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and
hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance
that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(g) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws,
this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant
are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this
Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.
(h) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
(i) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by
or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(j) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a
part of this Warrant.

Gentlemen:
The undersigned, registered Holder of the Warrant delivered herewith,
hereby irrevocably exercises such Warrant for, and purchases thereunder, shares
of the Common Stock of Data Race, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws
of the State of Texas, as provided below. Capitalized terms used herein, unless

Holder to be $______ and $_________, respectively, which figure is acceptable to

the purchased shares of Common Stock be issued in the name of __________________

foregoing exercise is for less than the full Aggregate Price of the Warrant, a
