Certificates.

distributed as provided for herein shall be registered in the names of the
record holders of the Warrant Certificates to whom they are to be distributed.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder
of a Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding any

of any exercise or conversion thereof and any distribution to the holder thereof
and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall

Secretary of the Company, and shall specify the number of Warrants to be

action by the Company, the Warrant Agent is authorized, upon receipt from the
Company at any time and from time to time of the Warrant Certificates, duly
executed as provided in Section 4 hereof, to countersign the Warrant
Certificates and make them available for delivery. Such countersignature shall
be by a duly authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent (although it shall not be
necessary for the same signatory to sign all Warrant Certificates).
In case any authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent who shall have
countersigned any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such authorized
signatory before the Warrant Certificate shall be disposed of by the Company,
such Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be delivered or disposed of as though
the person who countersigned such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such
authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent; and any Warrant Certificate may be
countersigned
-5-
on behalf of the Warrant Agent by such persons as, at the actual time of
countersignature of such Warrant Certificates, shall be the duly authorized
signatories of the Warrant Agent, although at the time of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement any such person is not such an authorized signatory.
(c) Temporary Warrant Certificates. Pending the preparation of
------------------------------
definitive Warrant Certificates, the Company may execute, and the Warrant Agent
shall, upon written request of the Company, countersign and make available for
delivery, temporary Warrant Certificates, which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten or otherwise produced, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Warrant Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Warrant Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Warrant Certificates.
The Company will promptly execute and deliver to the Warrant Agent
definitive Warrant Certificates. After the preparation of definitive Warrant
Certificates, the temporary Warrant Certificates shall be exchangeable for
definitive Warrant Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Warrant
Certificates at any office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose
pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(h) hereof,
such exchange shall be without charge to the holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Warrant Certificates, the Company
shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange
therefor, one or more definitive Warrant Certificates representing in the
aggregate a like number of Warrants. Until so exchanged, the holder of a
temporary Warrant Certificate shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Agreement as a holder of a definitive Warrant Certificate.
SECTION 6. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
---------------------------------------
(a) The Warrant Agent shall from time to time register in the Warrant
register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificates, upon surrender
thereof accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form of the
assignment appearing at the end of the form of the Warrant Certificate attached
as Exhibit A hereto, duly executed by the registered holder or holders thereof
---------
or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized
attorney . Such Warrant register shall be in written form or in any form
capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time.
The Warrant Agent is hereby appointed "Warrant registrar" for the purpose of
registering Warrants and transfers of Warrants as herein provided. Upon any
such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and
representing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the
transferee and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the
Warrant Agent.
Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the holders thereof,
when surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its Corporate Office, for another
Warrant Certificate or other Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing
in the aggregate a like number of Warrants. Warrant Certificates surrendered
for exchange, transfer, exercise or conversion shall be cancelled by
-6-
the Warrant Agent. Warrant Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 6
shall then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in accordance with its customary
procedures.
Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to exchange or
register a transfer of any of the Warrants surrendered for exercise or, if a
portion of any Warrant is surrendered for exercise, such portion thereof
surrendered for exercise.
The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign, in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5 and this Section 6, the new Warrant Certificates
required pursuant to the provisions of this Section, and for the purpose of any
distribution of Warrant Certificates contemplated herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Separation Date with respect to
any Warrant, such Warrant shall not be transferable without concurrent transfer
of the One-Year Warrant with which such Warrant comprises a Unit. The Warrant
Agent shall not accept for transfer or exchange any such Warrant that is
submitted for transfer or exchange without the concurrent submission of such
One-Year Warrant with which such Warrant comprises a Unit.
(b) Prior and as a condition to any sale or transfer of a Warrant or
the Common Stock issued upon exercise thereof that bears the restrictive legend
set forth in Section 6(c) or Section 6(d), respectively (other than pursuant to
a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities
Act), such transferee shall, unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing and
so notifies the Warrant Agent, furnish to the Company and the Warrant Agent a
signed letter containing representations and agreements relating to restrictions
on transfer substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement
---------
and an opinion of counsel if the Company so requests (other than with respect to
a transfer pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act) and such certificates and other information as the Company and/or the
Warrant Agent reasonably may require to confirm that any such transfer is being
made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(c) Every Warrant that bears or is required under this Section 6(c)
to bear the legend set forth in this Section 6(c) (together with any Common
Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants and required to bear the legend set
forth in Section 6(d), collectively, the "Restricted Securities") shall be

subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 6(c)
(including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer
shall be waived by written consent of the Company, and the holder of each such
Restricted Security, by such holder's acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by
all such restrictions on transfer. As used in Sections 6(c) and 6(d), the term
"transfer" encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition
whatsoever of any Restricted Security.
Until two (2) years after the original issuance date of any Warrant, any
certificate evidencing such Warrant (and all securities issued in exchange
therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon
exercise thereof which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 6(d), if
applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such

REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR PURSUANT TO A VALID EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT.
Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have
expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the
procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new
certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section
6(d).
(e) Any Warrant or Common Stock issued upon the exercise of a Warrant
that, prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof
under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor rule), is purchased
or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the
Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act in a transaction that results in such Warrants or Common Stock, as the case
may be, no longer being "restricted securities" (as defined under Rule 144).
(f) Until the Separation Date, as defined in Section 10(f) hereof, any
certificate evidencing any Warrant (and all securities issued in exchange
therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock issued upon exercise
thereof) shall bear a legend (the "Unit Legend") in substantially the following
-----------
form:
-11-
EXCEPT AS DESCRIBED IN THE NEXT SENTENCE, EACH WARRANT REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE MUST TRADE AS A UNIT WITH ONE ONE-YEAR WARRANT (AS DEFINED IN
THE WARRANT AGREEMENT GOVERNING THIS SECURITY) AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED
OR EXCHANGED WITHOUT THE SIMULTANEOUS TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
REPRESENTING ONE ONE-YEAR WARRANT FOR EACH WARRANT BEING TRANSFERRED OR
EXCHANGED. UPON THE EXERCISE OF THE ONE-YEAR WARRANTS TO WHICH ALL OR A
PORTION OF THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE RELATE, SUCH
WARRANTS (OR THE PORTION OF SUCH WARRANTS EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF ONE-YEAR
WARRANTS EXERCISED) MAY BE TRANSFERRED SEPARATELY AND THIS LEGEND SHALL BE
REMOVED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH WARRANTS (OR THE PORTION OF SUCH WARRANTS
EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF ONE-YEAR WARRANTS EXERCISED).
(g) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 6 to the contrary, in
the event Rule 144(k) as promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor
rule) is amended to change the two-year period under Rule 144(k) (or the
corresponding period under any successor rule), from and after receipt by the
Warrant Agent of the Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for
in this Section 6(f), (i) each reference in Section 6(c) and 6(d) to "two (2)
years" shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed
period and (ii) all corresponding references in the Warrants shall be deemed for
all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, provided that such
changes shall not become effective if they are otherwise prohibited by, or would
otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable federal securities laws . As
soon as practicable after the Company has knowledge of the effectiveness of any
such amendment to change the two-year period under Rule 144(k) (or the
corresponding period under any successor rule), unless such changes would
otherwise be prohibited by, or would otherwise cause a violation of, the then-
applicable securities law, the Company shall provide to the Warrant Agent an
Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel informing the Warrant Agent of the
effectiveness of such amendment and the effectiveness of the foregoing changes
to Sections 6(c) and 6(d) and the Warrants. The provisions of this Section 6(f)
will not be effective until such time as the Opinion of Counsel and Officer's
Certificate have been received by the Warrant Agent hereunder. This Section 6(f)
shall apply to successive amendments to Rule 144(k) (or any successor rule)
changing the holding period thereunder.
(h) The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any
interest in any Warrant other than to require delivery of such certificates and
other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if
and when expressly required by the terms of, this Agreement, and to examine the
same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof and thereof.
-12-
(i) No service charge shall be charged to the Warrantholder for any
exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessments or other governmental
charges that may be imposed in connection with the issue and delivery of Warrant
Certificates in any name other than that of such Warrantholder.
(j) All Warrants surrendered for the purpose of exercise, repurchase,
exchange or registration of transfer, shall, if surrendered to the Company or
any Warrant registrar, be surrendered to the Warrant Agent and promptly canceled
by it, or if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be promptly canceled by it,
and no Warrants shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall dispose of
canceled Warrants in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company
shall acquire any of the Warrants, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption of satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Warrants
unless and until the same are delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.
(k) During any period in which the Company is not subject to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Warrantholders (or holders of interests
therein) and prospective purchasers designated by such Warrantholders (or such
holders of interests therein) shall have the right to obtain from the Company
upon request by such Warrantholders (or such holders of interests) or
prospective purchasers the information that would be required by paragraph
(d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A in connection with any transfer or proposed transfer of
securities eligible to be transferred pursuant to Rule 144A. In addition, if the
Common Stock is eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144A, the holders of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and prospective
purchasers designated by such holders shall have the right to obtain from the
Company upon request by such holder or prospective purchasers, during any period
in which the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
the information required by paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A in connection with
any transfer or proposed transfer of such shares of Common Stock.
SECTION 7. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, Defaced or Mutilated Warrant
-----------------------------------------------------
Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent (or any agent of
- ------------
the Company or the Warrant Agent, if requested by the Company) of evidence
satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction, defacement, or mutilation
of any Warrant Certificate and of indemnity satisfactory to them and, in the
case of mutilation or defacement, upon surrender thereof 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
---- ----
or holder in due course, the Company shall execute, and an authorized signatory
of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and make available for delivery,
in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed, defaced or mutilated
Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate representing a like number of
Warrants, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously
outstanding. Every substitute Warrant Certificate executed and delivered
pursuant to this Section 7 in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate shall constitute 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
(but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this
-13-
Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant
Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions of this
Section 7 are exclusive with respect to the replacement of lost, stolen,
destroyed, defaced or mutilated Warrant Certificates and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or
statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement of lost, stolen, destroyed, defaced or mutilated Warrant
Certificates.
The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement and make available for delivery the new Warrant
Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.
SECTION 8. Offices for Exercise, Etc. So long as any of the Warrants
-------------------------
remain outstanding, the Company shall designate and maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York: (a) an office or agency where the Warrant
Certificates may be presented for exercise, (b) an office or agency where the
Warrant Certificates may be presented for registration of transfer and for
exchange (including the exchange of temporary Warrant Certificates for
definitive Warrant Certificates pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof), and (c) an
office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of
the Warrants or of this Agreement may be served. The Company may from time to
time change or rescind such designation, as it may deem desirable or expedient;
provided, however, that an office or agency shall at all times be maintained in
the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, as provided in the first sentence of
this Section 8. In addition to such office or offices or agency or agencies, the
Company may from time to time designate and maintain one or more additional
offices or agencies within or outside the Borough of Manhattan, City of New
York, where Warrant Certificates may be presented for exercise or for
registration of transfer or for exchange, and the Company may from time to time
change or rescind such designation, as it may deem desirable or expedient. The
Company will give to the Warrant Agent written notice of the location of any
such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. The Company hereby
designates the Warrant Agent's Corporate Office, as the initial agency
maintained for each such purpose. In case the Company shall fail to maintain any
such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of
any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and
notice may be served at the Corporate Office and the Company appoints the
Warrant Agent as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.
SECTION 9. Duration of Warrants; Early Termination of Warrants.
---------------------------------------------------
(a) The Warrants shall, subject to their earlier termination described
below in Section 9(b), expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 28,
2006 (such date, the "Expiration Date"). Each Warrant may be exercised on any
---------------
Business Day on or prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date.
Any Warrant not exercised before the close of business on the Expiration
Date, or the Termination Date (as defined below) if applicable, as the case may
be, shall become void, and all rights of the holder under the Warrant
Certificate evidencing such Warrant and under this Agreement shall cease.
-14-
(b) With respect to any Warrant, if at any time prior to the
Expiration Date, the One-Year Warrant with which such Warrant comprises a Unit
expires or terminates pursuant to the terms of the One-Year Warrant Agreement
without having been exercised pursuant to the terms thereof (the date of such
expiration or termination, the "Termination Date") then such Warrant shall
----------------
become void, and all rights of the holder under the Warrant Certificate
evidencing such Warrant and under this Agreement shall cease.
SECTION 10. Exercise, Exercise Price, Settlement and Delivery; Separation
-------------------------------------------------------------
of Warrants.
- -----------
(a) Warrants may be exercised at any time during the period commencing
on the Separation Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date by (i) surrendering, at any office or agency maintained for that
purpose by the Company pursuant to Section 8 (each a "Warrant Exercise Office"),
-----------------------
the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants with the exercise form appended
to the Warrant Certificate (the "Exercise Form") duly completed and signed by
-------------
the registered holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal
representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, and in the case of a
transfer, such signature shall be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor
institution, (ii) sending copies of such Exercise Form via facsimile to the
Company, attention General Counsel ((650) 519-5333) and Latham & Watkins,
attention John Donohue ((650) 463-2600), (iii) paying in full the Exercise Price
for each such Warrant exercised and any other amounts required to be paid
pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof, (iv) except in the event of a Cashless
Exercise (as defined in Section 10(b)) or in the event of the exercise of a
Warrant that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has
been declared effective under the Securities Act, and which was effective at the
time of such transfer, furnishing to the Company and the Warrant Agent a signed
letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the
restrictions on transfer set forth in Exhibit B hereto and an opinion of counsel
---------
if the Company so requests, and (v) providing such additional documentation or
certifications as the Company and/or the Warrant Agent may reasonably request.
(b) Simultaneously with the exercise of each Warrant, payment in full
of the Exercise Price shall be made:
(i) in cash or by certified or official bank check to be
delivered to the office or agency where the Warrant Certificate is being
surrendered;
(ii) by tendering a principal amount of Notes in integral
multiples of $1,000, including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon up to,
but not including, the Exercise Date, equal to, together with any payment of
cash pursuant to Section 10(b)(i) above, the Exercise Price; or
(iii) solely by the surrender of the applicable Warrant
Certificate, and without the payment of the Exercise Price in cash, for such
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is
-15-
exercisable upon payment of the Exercise Price in cash as of the date of
exercise and (2) the Cashless Exercise Ratio (such exercise, a "Cashless
--------
Exercise").
- --------
For purposes of this Agreement, the "Cashless Exercise Ratio" shall equal a
-----------------------
fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the Closing Price per share of
the Common Stock on the last Trading Day before the Exercise Date (determined as
set forth in Section 10(c)) over the Exercise Price Per Share (as defined below)
as of the last Trading Day before the Exercise Date and the denominator of which
is the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day
before the Exercise Date. Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate representing
more than one Warrant in connection with the holder's option to elect a Cashless
Exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon a Cashless
Exercise shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock for which such
Warrants are exercisable (or if only a portion of such Warrants are being
exercised, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants that the holder specifies are to be exercised pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise) upon payment of the Exercise Price in cash as of the date of exercise
multiplied by the Cashless Exercise Ratio.
In accordance with Section 10(e) hereof and subject to Section 16 hereof,
if any holder exercises less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant
Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate will be issued to such holders for the
remaining number of Warrants. All provisions of this Agreement shall be
applicable with respect to an exercise of a Warrant Certificate pursuant to a
Cashless Exercise for less than the full number of Warrants represented thereby.
"Exercise Price Per Share" means with respect to the Common Stock the Exercise
------------------------
Price divided by the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is
then exercisable (without giving effect to the Cashless Exercise option). No
payment or adjustment shall be made on account of any dividends on the shares of
Common Stock issued upon exercise of a Warrant.
(c) Upon such surrender of a Warrant Certificate, payment and
collection of the Exercise Price at any Warrant Exercise Office (other than the
Corporate Office), delivery of the letter and opinion of counsel referenced in
Section 10(a), if required, and delivery of such additional documentation or
certifications as the Company and/or the Warrant Agent may reasonably request,
such Warrant Certificate and payment shall be promptly delivered to the Warrant
Agent. The "Exercise Date" for a Warrant shall be the date when all of the
-------------
applicable items referred to in the first sentence of paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this Section 10 are received by the Warrant Agent, the Company and Latham &
Watkins, at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day and
the exercise of the Warrants will be effective as of such Exercise Date. If any
items referred to in the first sentence of such paragraphs (a) and (b) are
received after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, the exercise
of the Warrants to which such item relates will be effective on the next
succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
exercise of Warrants on the Expiration Date or the Termination Date, if
applicable, if all of the items referred to in the first sentence of paragraphs
(a) and (b) are received by the Warrant Agent, the Company and Latham & Watkins,
as applicable, at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Expiration
Date or Termination Date, the exercise of the Warrants to which such items
relate will be effective on the Expiration Date or the Termination Date, if
applicable. For purposes of determining satisfaction of the requirement set
forth above with respect to the Exercise Date for any Warrant, any
-16-
facsimile required to be sent shall be deemed to have been received on a given
day if such facsimile was sent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such
date (or 5:00 p.m., New York City time, if such date is the Expiration Date or
the Termination Date), to the number listed above (unless a different number is
specified in a notice filed with the Warrant Agent and mailed by the Warrant
Agent at the Company's expense to each holder of Warrants at such holder's
address appearing on the Warrant register) and confirmation of the transmission
of such facsimile is obtained.
(d) Upon the exercise of a Warrant in accordance with the terms
hereof, the receipt of a Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price
(or election of the Cashless Exercise option), the Warrant Agent shall: (i)
except to the extent exercise of the Warrant has been effected through Cashless
Exercise, cause an amount equal to the Exercise Price to be paid to the Company
by crediting the same to the account designated by the Company in writing to the
Warrant Agent for that purpose; (ii) promptly advise the Company by telephone of
the amount so deposited to the Company's account and promptly confirm such
telephonic advice in writing; and (iii) as soon as practicable, advise the
Company in writing of the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Warrant Certificates, the
instructions of each exercising holder of the Warrant Certificates with respect
to delivery of the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon
such exercise, and such other information as the Company shall reasonably
request.
(e) Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to issue or cause to be issued to or upon the written order of the
registered holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such exercised Warrant
or Warrants, the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, in
fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by
such holder pursuant to the Exercise Form, as appended to the Warrant
Certificate, within three (3) Business Days of such Exercise Date, and in any
event, shall issue or caused to be issued such shares within ten (10) Business
Days of such Exercise Date. Such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have
been issued and any persons who are designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of
the close of business on the Exercise Date. After such exercise of any Warrant
or Warrants, the Company shall also issue or cause to be issued to or upon the
written order of the registered holder of such Warrant Certificate, a new
Warrant Certificate, countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to written
instruction, evidencing the number of Warrants, if any, remaining unexercised
unless such Warrants shall have expired.
(f) The Warrants and the One-Year Warrants shall not be separately
transferable prior to the Separation Date. The "Separation Date," with respect
---------------
to any Warrant, shall be the date upon which the One-Year Warrant with which
such Warrant comprises a Unit shall have been exercised in accordance with its
terms and the terms of the One-Year Warrant Agreement. In connection with the
exercise of such One-Year Warrant, the Warrant Certificate representing the
Warrant with which such One-Year Warrant comprised a Unit shall be surrendered
to the Warrant Exercise Office. Unless simultaneously exercised, as soon as
practicable after the exercise of such One-Year Warrant, the Company shall
issue, or cause to be issued to or upon the written order of the registered
holder of the Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate representing such
separated
-17-
Warrant, which does not bear the Unit Legend described in Section 6(e) hereof.
If fewer than all Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate shall be so
separated, the Company shall issue, or cause to be issued to or upon the written
order of the registered holder of such Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant
Certificate representing the remaining number of unseparated Warrants, which
Warrant Certificate shall bear the Unit Legend contained in Section 6(e) hereof.
SECTION 11. Cancellation of Warrant Certificates. Upon the termination of
------------------------------------
any Warrant pursuant to Section 9(b), the Warrant Certificate evidencing such
Warrant shall thereupon be surrendered by the holder thereof to the Warrant
Agent, and when so delivered, shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent and
retired. The Warrant Agent shall cancel all Warrant Certificates properly
surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or exercise. The Warrant Agent
shall dispose of such canceled Warrant Certificates in accordance with its
customary procedures.
SECTION 12. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Issuable.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Exercise Price, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of each
Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 12.
(a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a
distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the date
following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such
Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date
(as defined in Section 12(h)) fixed for such determination and the denominator
shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares
constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the
Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this
Section 12(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall
again be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which
such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and
conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination
becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or
increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(c) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all
holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period
expiring within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to
-18-
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than
the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 12(h)) on the Record Date fixed
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of
business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the
close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares that the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for
subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of
which the denominator shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date plus the total number of
additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of
business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that
shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants,
upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Exercise Price
shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had the
adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the
basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually
delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the
Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price that would then
be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether
any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the
aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken
into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value
of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of
Directors.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute
to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the
Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12(a)
applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or other assets (including securities,
but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12(c) and (2)
dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (except as set forth in
Section 12(e) and (f), (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12(d) called
the "Securities")), unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for
----------
distribution to the Warrantholders upon conversion of the Warrants so that any
such holder converting Warrants will receive upon such conversion, in addition
to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and
kind of such Securities which such holder would have received if such holder had
converted its Warrants into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date
(as defined in Section 12(h) for such distribution of the Securities) then, in
each such case, the Exercise Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be
equal to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in
Section 12(h)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section
12(h)) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board
Resolution) on such date of the
-19-
portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock
and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as
-------- -------
so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one
share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on
the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall
be made so that each Warrantholder shall have the right to receive upon
conversion of a Warrant (or any portion thereof) the amount of Securities such
holder would have received had such holder converted such Warrant (or portion
thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date.
In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the
Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price which would then
be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the
Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for
purposes of this Section 12(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading
market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must
in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the
"Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to
- -----------------
Section 12(h) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board
Resolution reasonably determines that determining the fair market value during
the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Warrantholder.
In the event that the Company implements a new stockholder rights plan,
such rights plan shall provide that upon exercise of the Warrants the holders
will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, the
rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event
causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of
exercise). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder
rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of
rights or warrants for the purposes of this Section 12(d).
Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common
Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the
Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which
rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events
("Trigger Event"), (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common
- ---------------
Stock, (ii) are not exercisable, and (iii) are also issued in respect of future
issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for
purposes of this Section 12(d) (and no adjustment to the Exercise Price under
this Section 12(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest
Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon
the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to
purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or
entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or
to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the
occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and
record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or
expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder
thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed
distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the
type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in
an adjustment to the Exercise Price under this Section 12(d), (1) in
-20-
the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or
repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Exercise Price shall be
readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such
distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash
distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by
a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such
holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common
Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of
such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated
without exercise, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and
warrants had never been issued.
For purposes of this Section 12(d) and Sections 12(a) and (c), any dividend
or distribution to which this Section 12(d) is applicable that also includes
shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock to which Section 12(c) applies (or both), shall be deemed
instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness,
assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of
Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 12(c) applies (and any
Exercise Price reduction required by this Section 12(e) with respect to such
dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a
dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or
warrants (and any further Exercise Price reduction required by Sections 12(a)
and (c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, except
(A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as
"the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and
"Record Date" within the meaning of Section 12(a) and as "the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the
Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive
such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section
12(c) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or
distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the
date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 12(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to
all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed
upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13 applies or as part of a
distribution referred to in Section 12(d)), in an aggregate amount that,
combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions
to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the twelve
(12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect
of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(e) has been made, and (2) the
aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board
Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock
concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such
distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 12(f)
has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price
(determined as provided in Section 12(h)) on the Record Date with respect to
such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on
such date, the Exercise Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal
-21-
the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the
numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date
less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount
over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the
Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current
Market Price on such date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of
the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or
greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in
lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each
Warrantholder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of a Warrant (or any
portion thereof) the amount of cash such holder would have received had such
holder exercised such Warrant (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such
Record Date . In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or
made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price that
would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for
all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as
amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders
(based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender
offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration
having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that
combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value
(as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such
tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common
Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such
tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section
12(f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all
holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within twelve
(12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of
which no adjustment pursuant to Section 12(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the
product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12(h)) as
of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant
---------------
to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then,
and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
after the date of the Expiration Time, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so
that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration
Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time
multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x)
the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration
payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in
the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn
as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such
maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the
----------------
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) on the
-22-
Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction (if any) to become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
Expiration Time. .In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares
pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by
applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are
rescinded, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price
that would then be in effect if such tender offer had not been made. If the
application of this Section 12(f) to any tender offer would result in an
increase in the Exercise Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender
offer under this Section 12(f).
(g) In case of a tender or exchange offer made by a person other than
the Company or any Subsidiary for an amount that increases the offeror's
ownership of Common Stock to more than 25% of the Common Stock outstanding and
shall involve the payment by such person of consideration per share of Common
Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in
good faith, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a
resolution of the Board of Directors) at the last time (the "Expiration Time")
---------------
tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as
it shall have been amended) that exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common
Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and in which, as
of the Expiration Time the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of
the offer, the Exercise Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged
shares) on the Expiration Time multiplied by the current Market Price of the
Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the
denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as
aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the
acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange
offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the
Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being
referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of
----------------
shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) on the Expiration
Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next
succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.
In the event that such person is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to
any such tender or exchange offer, but such person is permanently prevented by
applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are
rescinded, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price
that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment described in this Section 12(g)
shall not be made if, as of the Expiration Time, the offering documents with
respect to such offer disclose a plan or intention to cause the Company to
engage in any transaction described in Section 13.
(h) For purposes of this Section 12, the following terms shall have
the meaning indicated:
-23-
(i) "Closing Price" with respect to any securities on any day
-------------
shall mean the closing sale price regular way on such day or, in case no such
sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
prices, regular way, in each case on the Nasdaq National Market or New York
Stock Exchange, as applicable, or, if such security is not listed or admitted to
trading on such National Market or Exchange, on the principal national security
exchange or quotation system on which such security is quoted or listed or
admitted to trading, or, if not quoted or listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange or quotation system, the average of the closing bid
and asked prices of such security on the over-the-counter market on the day in
question as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or a similar
generally accepted reporting service, or if not so available, in such manner as
furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time
by the Board of Directors for that purpose, or a price determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described
in a Board Resolution.
(ii) "Current Market Price" shall mean the average of the daily
--------------------
Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading
Days immediately prior to the date in question; provided, however, that (1) if
the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or
distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant to Section 12(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) occurs
during such ten (10) consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Price for each
Trading Day prior to the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Exercise Price
is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (2) if the "ex"
date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such
computation) that requires an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to
Section 12(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) occurs on or after the "ex" date
for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day
in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the "ex" date
for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the
reciprocal of the fraction by which the Exercise Price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event, and (3) if the "ex" date for the
issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in
question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause
(1) or (2) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after
such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in a manner
consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section 12(d),
(f) or (g), whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board
Resolution) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or assets
being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of
business on the day before such "ex" date. For purposes of any computation
under Sections 12(f) or (g), the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on any
date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of
Common Stock for such day and the next two succeeding Trading Days; provided,
however, that if the "ex" date for any event (other than the tender offer
requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to Section 12(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) occurs on or after
the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation
and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and
after the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Exercise Price is
so required to be adjusted as a result
-24-
of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex" date, (1)
when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on
which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the
relevant market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to
receive such issuance or distribution, (2) when used with respect to any
subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on
which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market
after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and
(3) when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer means the first date
on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market
after the Expiration Time of such offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever
successive adjustments to the Exercise Price are called for pursuant to this
Section 12, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 12 and to
avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
(iii) "Fair market value" shall mean the amount which a willing
-----------------
buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm's length transaction.
(iv) "Record Date" shall mean, with respect to any dividend,
-----------
distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock
have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the
Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into
any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other
property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute,
contract or otherwise).
(v) "Trading Day" shall mean (x) if the applicable security is
-----------
listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or another
national security exchange, a day on which the New York Stock Exchange or such
other national security exchange, as applicable, is open for business or (y) if
the applicable security is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, a day on which
trades may be made thereon or (z) if the applicable security is not so listed,
admitted for trading or quoted, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day
on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or
obligated by law or executive order to close.
(i) The Company may make such reductions in the Exercise Price, in
addition to those required by Sections 12(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g),
as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any
income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock
resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire
stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time
may reduce the Exercise Price by any amount for any period of time if the period
is at least twenty (20) days, the reduction is irrevocable during such period
and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such reduction
would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be
conclusive and described in a Board Resolution. Whenever the Exercise Price is
reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the holder
of each
-25-
Warrant at his last address appearing on the Warrant register provided for in
Section 8 a notice of the reduction at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date
the reduced Exercise Price is to take effect, and such notice shall state the
reduced Exercise Price and the period during which it will be in effect.
(j) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required under this
Section 12 unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least 1% in the Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by
-------- -------
reason of this Section 12(j) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations
under this Section 12 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No
adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the
Common Stock.
(k) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as provided in this
Section 12, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Agent an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Warrant
Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any
adjustment therein contained and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such
adjustment unless and until it shall have received such certificate. Promptly
after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such
adjustment of the Exercise Price setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and
the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice
of such adjustment of the Exercise Price to the holder of each Warrant at his
last address appearing on the Warrant register provided for in Section 8, within
twenty (20) days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver
such notice shall not effect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(l) In any case in which this Section 12 provides that an adjustment
shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company
may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the holder of any
Warrant exercised after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event
the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of
the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to
such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 17.
(m) For purposes of this Section 12, the number of shares of Common
Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of
the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates
issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay
any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the
treasury of the Company.
(n) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this
Section 12, each Warrant shall thereupon evidence the right to purchase that
number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth of a
share) obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
immediately prior to such adjustment upon exercise of the Warrant by the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment. The adjustment pursuant
-26-
to this Section 12(o) to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise of a Warrant shall be made each time an adjustment of the Exercise
Price is made pursuant to this Section 12 (or would be made but for Section
12(j) hereof).
SECTION 13. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If
---------------------------------------------------------
any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a
result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or
combination of the Company with another person as a result of which holders of
Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or
assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,
(iii) any statutory exchange, as a result of which holders of Common Stock
generally shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or
assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock
(such transaction, a "Statutory Exchange"), (iv) any sale or conveyance of the
------------------
properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any
other person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with
respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the
successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute with the
Warrant Agent a supplemental warrant agreement providing that such Warrant shall
be exercisable for the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
or property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, combination, Statutory Exchange, sale or
conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of such Warrants (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of
authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon exercise of all
such Warrants) immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, combination, Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance
assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if
any, that holders of Common Stock who were entitled to vote or consent to such
transaction had as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, combination, Statutory Exchange,
sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or
other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, combination,
Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common
Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised
("non-electing share"), then for the purposes of this Section 13 the kind and
------------------
amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, combination, Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance for each non-
electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share
by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental warrant agreement
shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 12. If, in the case of
any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, Statutory
Exchange, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets
receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock include shares of
stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor
or purchasing person, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, combination, Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance, then
such supplemental warrant agreement shall also be executed by such other person
and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the
holders of the Warrants as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider
necessary by reason of the
-27-
foregoing. The Exercise Price for the stock and other securities, property and
assets (including cash) so receivable upon such event shall be an amount equal
to the Exercise Price immediately prior to such event.
The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental
warrant agreement to be mailed to each holder of Warrants, at such holder's
address appearing on the Warrant register provided for in Section 6 of this
Warrant agreement, within twenty (20) days after execution thereof. Failure to
deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such
supplemental warrant agreement.
The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and
conveyances.
If this Section 13 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 12 shall not
apply.
SECTION 14. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates upon
----------------------
exercise of Warrants shall be made without charge to the exercising
Warrantholder for any tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Company shall
not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that
of the holder of any Warrant exercised, and the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or
persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount
of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that
such tax has been paid.
SECTION 15. Reservation of Shares; Shares to Be Fully Paid; Listing of
----------------------------------------------------------
Common Stock. The Company shall reserve, free from preemptive rights, and keep
- ------------
available out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury,
sufficient shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants
from time to time as such Warrants are presented for exercise.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the
Exercise Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Warrants, the Company will take all corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such
adjusted Exercise Price.
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise
of Warrants will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable by
the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue
thereof.
The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq National Market or any other
national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will, if
permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and
keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on
-28-
such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Warrants.
SECTION 16. Fractional Warrants and Fractional Shares(a) Notwithstanding
-----------------------------------------
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be
required to issue fractions of Warrants or distribute Warrant Certificates which
evidence fractional Warrants.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute certificates which
evidence such fractional shares. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for
exercise in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of full shares
of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable on exercise of all Warrants so presented. In lieu any of fractional
shares, there shall be paid to the registered holders of Warrant Certificates at
the time such Warrant Certificates are exercised, as herein provided, an amount
in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a share of
Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 16(b), the current market value of a
share of Common Stock shall be the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock for
the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
SECTION 17. Notice to Warrantholders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:
-------------------------------------------------
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution)
on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Exercise Price
pursuant to Section 12; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its
Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any
class or any other rights or warrants; or
(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other
than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change
in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and
for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company;
the Company shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent and mailed by the
Warrant Agent at the Company's expense to each holder of Warrants at such
holder's address appearing on the Warrant register as promptly as possible but
in any event at least fifteen days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a
record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of
record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be
determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale,
-29-
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective
or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such
dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
SECTION 18. Merger, Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent. Any
--------------------------------------------------------
corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business
of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for
appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 21. In
case at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency
created by this Agreement, and in case at that time any of the Warrant
Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor
to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant
Agent; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have
been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such
Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor warrant agent or in
the name of the successor warrant agent; and in all such cases such Warrant
Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and
in this Agreement.
In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at
such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not
delivered, the Warrant Agent whose name has changed may adopt the
countersignature under its prior name, and in case at that time any of the
Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may
countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed
name, and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force
provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.
SECTION 19. Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and
-------------
obligations expressly imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and
conditions, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Warrant Agent, by all of which the Company and the holders
of Warrants, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:
(a) The statements contained herein and in the Warrant Certificates
shall be taken as statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except such as describe
the Warrant Agent or action taken or to be taken by it . The Warrant Agent
assumes no responsibility with respect to the distribution of the Warrant
Certificates except as herein otherwise provided.
-30-
(b) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the
Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in
the Warrant Certificates to be complied with by the Company.
(c) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel of its own
selection (who may be counsel for the Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur
no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant
Certificate in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel.
(d) The Warrant Agent may conclusively rely upon and shall incur no
liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant
Certificate for any action taken in reliance on any notice, resolution, waiver,
consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument (whether in
its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties.
(e) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent such compensation
as shall be agreed between the Company and the Warrant Agent for all services
rendered by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, to reimburse
the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other
charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in connection with
the execution and administration of its duties under this Agreement and to fully
indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all
liabilities, claims, damages, losses and expenses including judgments, costs and
reasonable counsel fees and expenses, for anything done or omitted by the
Warrant Agent in the execution and administration of its duties under this
Agreement except as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been
caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this
Section 19(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(f) The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any
action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve
expense unless the Company or one or more registered holders of Warrant
Certificates shall furnish the Warrant Agent with security and indemnity
satisfactory to it for any costs and expenses which may be incurred . All
rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be
enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrant
Certificates or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative
thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent
shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any recovery of judgment
shall be for the ratable benefit of the registered holders of the Warrants, as
their respective rights or interests may appear.
(g) The Warrant Agent, and any stockholder, director, officer or
employee thereof, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other

capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
(h) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for the
Company, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof and
no duties shall be inferred or implied against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant
Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in
connection with this Agreement except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(i) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Warrant Agent to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of is rights if
there shall be reasonable grounds for believing repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
SECTION 20. Disposition of Proceeds of Exercise of Warrants. The Warrant
-----------------------------------------------
Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised
and concurrently pay to the Company all moneys or Notes received by the Warrant
Agent on the purchase of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants.
SECTION 21. Change of Warrant Agent. If the Warrant Agent shall become
-----------------------
incapable of acting as Warrant Agent, the Company shall appoint a successor. If
the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after
it has been notified in writing of such incapacity by the incapacitated Warrant
Agent or by the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate, then the Warrant
Agent or registered holder of any Warrant Certificate may apply, at the
reasonable expense of the Company, to any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor to the incapacitated Warrant Agent. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by
such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the
Company. Any successor warrant agent whether appointed by the Company or by such
a court, shall be a bank or trust company, in good standing, incorporated under
the laws of the State of New York or of the United States of America, and having
its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan in New York, New York, and must
have at the time of its appointment as Warrant Agent a combined capital and
surplus of at least one hundred million dollars. After appointment the successor
warrant agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and
responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without
further act or deed; but the former Warrant Agent shall, upon payment of all
amounts owed to it hereunder, deliver and transfer to the successor warrant
agent any property at the time held by it hereunder and execute and deliver any
further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to
give any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the legality or validity of the removal of the Warrant Agent or
the appointment of a successor warrant agent as the case may be.
-32-
SECTION 22. Notices to Company and Warrant Agent. Any notice or demand
------------------------------------
authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or by the

--------------------------
may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of
any holders of Warrant Certificates in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct
or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in
regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company and the
Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely
affect the interests of the holders of Warrant Certificates; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the written consent of the holders of Warrant Certificates representing a
majority of the Warrants then outstanding (but not including any Warrants then
held by the Company or its Affiliates) is required to amend or supplement the
Warrant Agreement in any manner that would have a material adverse effect on the
interests of the Warrantholders and provided further, that the consent of each
-------- -------
holder of the Warrants affected is required for any amendment which would
increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, except, in any case, pursuant to the
adjustments provided for in Section 12.
Upon the delivery of a certificate from an appropriate officer of the
Company which states that the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance
with the terms of this Section, the Warrant Agent shall execute such supplement
or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Warrant Agent's
consent must be obtained regarding any amendment or supplement pursuant to this
Section 23 which alters the Warrant Agent's rights or duties.
-33-
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Warrantholders under this
Section 23 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental warrant
agreement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.
SECTION 24. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this
----------
Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind
and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.
SECTION 25. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the close of
-----------
business on August 28, 2006. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will
terminate on any earlier date if all Warrants have been exercised or terminated
pursuant to Section 9(b). The provisions of Section 19 shall survive such
termination.

-------------
ISSUED HEREUNDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK

--------------------------
be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company, the
Warrant Agent and the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this Agreement
shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent
and the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates.
SECTION 28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and
the same instrument.

WARRANT
REPRESENTING _________ WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
This certifies that _________, or its registered assigns, is the registered
owner of __________ Warrants, each expiring August 28, 2006 and each of which
entitles the registered owner thereof (the "Warrantholder") to purchase at any
-------------
time prior to the expiration hereof from TIVO INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), 0.33 of one share of Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), $0.001 par
------- ------------
value per share, of the Company at the purchase price of $7.85 per share of
Common Stock (the "Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment as provided in the
--------------
Warrant Agreement hereinafter referred to.
The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant are issued under and in accordance
with the Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2001 (the "Warrant
-------
Agreement"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as warrant agent (the
"Warrant Agent"), and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated of even date
-------------
therewith (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), among the Company and the
-----------------------------
initial purchasers of the Warrants, and are subject to the terms and provisions
contained therein, to all of which terms and provisions the holder of this
Warrant consents by acceptance of this Warrant and which Warrant Agreement and
Registration Rights Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference in and made a
part of this Warrant.
Until the Separation Date, any Warrants represented by this Certificate
shall be transferable or exchangeable only as a Unit with a like number of One-
Year Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement). The Separation Date, with
respect to any Warrant shall be the date upon which such One-Year Warrant with
which such Warrant comprises a Unit shall have been exercised in accordance with
its terms and the terms of the One-Year Warrant Agreement (as defined in the
Warrant Agreement).
Reference is hereby made to the Warrant Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the
Warrantholders. The summary of the terms of the Warrant Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement contained in this Warrant is qualified in its
entirety by express reference to such agreements. All capitalized terms used
but not defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Warrant Agreement.
As provided in the Warrant Agreement, and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth therein including early termination of the Warrants, the
Warrants shall be exercisable, unless earlier terminated as described below, at
any time during the period commencing on the Separation Date and ending at 5:00
p.m., New York time, on August 28, 2006 (the "Expiration Date"). This Warrant
---------------
may be exercised on any Business Day on or prior to close of business on the
Expiration Date.
Any Warrant not exercised before the close of business on the Expiration
Date, or the Termination Date, as the case may be, shall become void, and all
rights of the holder under the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant and
under this Agreement shall cease.
A-3
With respect to any Warrant, if at any time prior to the Expiration Date,
the One-Year Warrant with which such Warrant comprises a Unit expires or
terminates pursuant to the terms of the One-Year Warrant Agreement without
having been exercised pursuant to the terms thereof (the date of such expiration
or termination, the "Termination Date") then such Warrant shall terminate if not
----------------
exercised before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Termination Date.
The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in the
Warrant Agreement. If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value
to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any
consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another person as a
result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in
exchange for such Common Stock, (iii) any statutory exchange, as a result of
which holders of Common Stock generally shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in
exchange for such Common Stock (such transaction, a "Statutory Exchange"), (iv)
any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as, or
substantially as, an entirety to any other person as a result of which holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property
or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,
then the Company or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be,
shall execute with the Warrant Agent a supplemental warrant agreement providing
that such Warrant shall be exercisable for the kind and amount of shares of
stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) receivable
upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination,
Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants (assuming, for such
purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for
issuance upon exercise of all such Warrants) immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, Statutory
Exchange, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not
exercise his rights of election, if any, that holders of Common Stock who were
entitled to vote or consent to such transaction had as to the kind or amount of
securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
combination, Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind
or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, combination, Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance is
not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of
election shall not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then for the
------------------
purposes of Section 13 of the Warrant Agreement the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
combination, Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance for each non-electing share
shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality
of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide
for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in Section 12 of the Warrant Agreement. If, in the
case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination,
Statutory Exchange, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets
receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock include shares of
stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor
or purchasing person, as the case may be, in such
A-4
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, Statutory
Exchange, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental warrant agreement shall
also be executed by such other person and shall contain such additional
provisions to protect the interests of the holders of the Warrants as the Board
of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The
Exercise Price for the stock and other securities, property and assets
(including cash) so receivable upon such event shall be an amount equal to the
Exercise Price immediately prior to such event.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common
Sock upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute certificates which evidence
such fractional shares. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for
exercise in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of full shares
of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable on exercise of all Warrants so presented. In lieu any of fractional
shares, there shall be paid to the registered holders of Warrant Certificates at
the time such Warrant Certificates are exercised an amount in cash equal to the
same fraction of the current market value of a share of Common Stock. For
purposes of this calculation, the current market value of a share of Common
Stock shall be the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock for the Trading Day
immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
The Company covenants that it will at all times through 5:00 p.m., New York
time, on the Expiration Date (or, if the Expiration Date shall not be a Business
Day, then on the next-succeeding Business Day) reserve, free from preemptive
rights, and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares
held in treasury or a combination thereof of Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of issue upon exercise of Warrants as herein provided, sufficient shares
of Common Stock, for issuance upon exercise of, the Warrants from time to time
as such Warrants are presented for exercise. The Company covenants that all
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Warrants shall be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
The initial issuance of certificates of Common Stock upon the exercise of
Warrants shall be made without charge to the exercising Warrantholders for any
tax in respect of the issuance of such stock certificates, and such stock
certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may
be directed by, the registered holders of the Warrants exercised, subject to the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that
- -------- -------
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery
of any such stock certificate, any Warrant Certificates or other securities in a
name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate
surrendered upon exercise of the Warrant, and the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver such certificates or other securities unless and until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.
Subject to the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company shall file under the Securities Act a registration statement
providing for the registration of all of the Warrants and the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise thereof.
A-5
As provided in the Warrant Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Warrantholders have additional rights and duties with respect to the
registration of the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants. A Warrantholder may be required to indemnify and hold the Company and
certain other persons harmless in connection with written information furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of such Warrantholder specifically for use in any
registration statement, or any preliminary or final or summary Prospectus
contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto.
By its acceptance of any Warrant represented by a Warrant Certificate
bearing a restrictive legend, each holder and beneficial owner of such a Warrant
acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such a Warrant set forth in such
legend and agrees that it will transfer such a Warrant only in accordance with
such legend.
Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable by the
registered Warrantholder hereof, in whole or in part, on the Warrant register,
upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate duly endorsed, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Warrant Agent duly executed, with signatures guaranteed as specified in the
attached "Form of Assignment," by the registered Warrantholder hereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing and upon payment of any necessary transfer
tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Upon any partial
transfer, the Company will issue and the Warrant Agent will countersign and
deliver to such Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates
with respect to any portion not so transferred. Each taker and holder of this
Warrant, by taking and holding the same, consents and agrees that prior to the
registration of transfer as provided in the Warrant Agreement, the Company and
the Warrant Agent may treat the person in whose name the Warrants are registered
as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to
exercise the rights represented hereby, any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding.
This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the office of the Warrant
Agent for Warrant Certificates representing the same aggregate number of
Warrants, each new Warrant Certificate to represent such number of Warrants as
the holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange.
Prior to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, the holder of
this Warrant shall not be entitled, as such, to any rights of a stockholder of
the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to consent to
any action of the stockholders of the Company, to receive dividends or other
distributions, to exercise any preemptive right or to receive any notice of
meetings of stockholders of the Company, and shall not be entitled to receive
any notice of any proceedings of the Company except as provided in the Warrant
Agreement.

FORM OF TRANSFER LETTER OF REPRESENTATIONS
(TO BE DELIVERED UPON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
OR UPON CERTAIN TRANSFERS OF WARRANTS
WITHOUT EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT)
We are delivering this letter in connection with (i) the exercise of
Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2001,
between TiVo Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and The Bank of New
York, a New York banking corporation (the "Warrant Agent")) by us for shares of
common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") or
(ii) the sale or transfer to us of Warrants, other than pursuant to a
registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Warrants and the Common Stock
are sometimes referred to herein as the "Securities."
We hereby confirm that:
(i) we are an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
501(a)(1),(2), (3), (5), (6) or (7) under the Securities Act;
(ii) any purchase or receipt of the Securities by us will be for
investment purposes and for our own account, not as a nominee or agent;
(iii) we have such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that we are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
purchasing or receiving the Securities ;
(iii) we do not have need for liquidity in our investment in the
Securities, we have the ability to bear the economic risks of our
investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time and we are
able to afford the complete loss of our investment in the Securities;
(iv) we are not acquiring the Securities with a view to any
distribution thereof in a transaction that would violate the Securities Act
or the securities laws of any State of the United States or any other
applicable jurisdiction, and we have no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same;
(v) we have had access to such information regarding the Company
necessary in order for us to make an informed decision and any such
information which we have requested have been made available for us or our
attorney, accountant, or advisor; and
(vi) we or our attorney, accountant, or advisor have had a
reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a
person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the business,
management and financial affairs of the Company and the
B-1
terms and conditions of the acquisition by us of the Securities and all
such questions have been answered to our full satisfaction, and we have
acquired sufficient information about the Company to make an informed and
knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities.
We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act, and we agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of each account
for which we acquire any Securities, that such Securities may be offered,
resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (i) in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, outside the United States in
a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act, or
in accordance with another exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, (ii) to the Company or (iii) pursuant to an effective
registration statement, and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any State of the United States or any other applicable
jurisdiction. We agree that we will furnish the Company, the Warrant Agent and,
if exercising Warrants, the Company's transfer agent an opinion of counsel, if
the Company so requests, that the foregoing restrictions on transfer have been
complied with. We understand that the Warrant Agent will not be required to
accept for registration of transfer or exercise any Warrants, except upon
presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Company, including an opinion of
counsel if the Company so requests, that the foregoing restrictions on transfer
or exercise have been complied with.
We acknowledge that the Company and others will rely upon our
confirmations, acknowledgements and agreements set forth herein, and we agree to
