[DUPLICATE ORIGINAL] WARRANT AGREEMENT This WARRANT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of October 1, 1997 is made by and between Henry Company, a California corporation (the "Company"), and Warner W. Henry Living Trust (the "Grantee"). WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee desire to set forth certain terms and instructions regarding the issuance, division, transfer and exercise of the Company's warrant to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, no par value per share, and shares of Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Capital Stock") of the Company being granted to the Grantee in consideration of certain loans made by Grantee to the Company; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: SECTION 1. WARRANT. 1.1 GRANT OF WARRANTS. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 12,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 388,000 shares of Common Stock (together, the "Capital Stock"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Warrant shall give the Grantee the right to purchase one share of Capital Stock. 1.2 FORM OF CERTIFICATE. The Warrants shall be evidenced by a certificate substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A hereto (the "Warrant Certificate"), which shall evidence the right of the holder thereof to purchase such number of shares of Capital Stock as are stated on the face of such Warrant Certificate. 1.3 EXECUTION. The Warrant Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, President, Executive or Senior Vice President or Chief Financial Officer, and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. The signature of any of such officers may be manual or facsimile. If the Warrant Certificate bears the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company, such signatures shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that any of such individuals shall have ceased to hold such offices prior to the delivery of the Warrant Certificate or did not hold such offices on the date of this Agreement. 1.4 LEGEND. So long as required thereunder, the Warrant Certificate (including each Warrant Certificate issued upon the transfer or partial exercise of the Warrants) and each certificate for shares of Capital Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants or the transfer of any such Capital Stock, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted as follows: THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT, (ii) RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT, OR (iii) ANY OTHER EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES. IN THE CASE OF TRANSFERS OR OTHER DISPOSITIONS MADE OTHERWISE THAN PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT, THE HOLDER SHALL, AT THE COMPANY'S REQUEST, PROVIDE TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. A copy of this Agreement shall be filed with the Secretary of the Company and shall be kept at its principal executive office. SECTION 2. OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFERABILITY. 2.1 OWNERSHIP. The Warrant Certificate shall be numbered and shall be registered in the books of the Company (the "Warrant Register") maintained at the principal office of the Company at the address specified in Section 10 hereof. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of the Warrant (the "Holder") whose name appears in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone or any notice to the contrary). 2.2 TRANSFERABILITY. Title to the Warrant Certificate may be transferred only by endorsement (by the Holder executing the form of assignment attached hereto as EXHIBIT B) and delivery in the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery. Any attempted disposition made in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall automatically be null and void. SECTION 3. TERM OF WARRANTS; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. 3.1 TERM OF WARRANTS. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Warrant may be exercised, at any time after the date hereof, in whole and from time to time in part, at the option of the Holder, until 5:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on September 30, 2012 (the "Expiration Date"). 3.2 EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Warrants shall be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder surrendering the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase attached thereto duly executed by such Holder, to the Company at its principal office, 2 accompanied by payment, by wire transfer or by certified or cashier's check, of the purchase price payable in respect of the Capital Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate being purchased. If less than all of the Capital Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate is purchased, the Company will, upon such exercise, execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate (dated the date of the original Warrant Certificate) evidencing the number of shares of Capital Stock not so purchased. As soon as practicable after such exercise and payment of the purchase price, the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Capital Stock purchased upon such exercise. 3.3 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 7) per share of Capital Stock on the day of exercise. SECTION 4. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of the Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of the same form and amount. SECTION 5. RESERVATION OF SHARES. A number of shares of Capital Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrants upon the terms of exercise set forth herein and in the Warrant Certificate shall at all times be reserved out of the Company's authorized but unissued shares of Capital Stock. SECTION 6. CANCELLATION OF WARRANT. If the Company purchases or otherwise acquires a Warrant Certificate, the same shall thereupon be cancelled. The Company shall cancel any Warrant Certificate surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or exercise in whole or in part. Cancelled Warrant Certificates shall thereafter be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Company. SECTION 7. CONVERTED WARRANT. At its option, the Holder may request pursuant to this Section 7 that the Company exchange the Warrant Certificate for a particular number of shares of Capital Stock subject to the Warrants (the "Converted Warrant Shares") by delivering to the Holder, without payment by the Holder of any cash or other consideration as exercise price, that number of shares of Capital Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Net Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Converted Warrant Shares by the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of a single share of Capital Stock, determined in each case as of the close of business on the date of exercise. The "Net Value" of Converted Warrant Shares shall equal (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Converted Warrant Shares (i.e. 3 the Fair Market Value per share for the Converted Warrant Shares times the number of Converted Warrant Shares) minus (B) the aggregate exercise price for the Converted Warrant Shares (i.e. the exercise price per share for the Converted Warrant Shares times the number of Converted Warrant Shares). The "Fair Market Value" of Converted Warrant Shares shall equal (i) the average of (X) the daily closing prices per share of Capital Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise or exchange on the principal stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Capital Stock is traded or (Y) the average of the closing bid and ask prices per share of Capital Stock for such five trading days if the Capital Stock is then traded in a market for which such prices are readily available and daily closing prices are not readily available, or (ii) that value per share of Capital Stock determined by the Board of Directors of the Company acting in good faith if the Capital Stock is not then traded on a stock exchange or over-the-counter market for which either such prices are readily available. For purposes of this Section 7, all references to the "Capital Stock" shall refer to the shares of Class A Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, evidenced by the Warrant Certificate or sought to be delivered by the Company. All other provisions of the Warrant shall apply to any such exchange of the Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Section 7. SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENTS. 8.1 CALCULATION OF ADJUSTMENT. 4 (a) MERGER, SALE OF ASSETS, ETC. If at any time while these Warrants, or any portion thereof, are outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company's properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of Warrants shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of each Warrant, during the period specified therein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the share of Capital Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Warrant would have received in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if the Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to any further adjustment required by this Section 8.1. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants. If the per-share consideration payable to the holders of Capital Stock in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of this provision and the other provisions of the Warrants and Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that all such provisions shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property that may become deliverable after that event upon exercise of the Warrants. (b) RECLASSIFICATION, ETC. If, at any time while these Warrants, or any portion thereof, are outstanding and unexpired, the Company shall change, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, any of the securities as to which purchase rights under the Warrants exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, each Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under the Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change, and the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to any further adjustment required by this Section 8.1. (c) SPLIT, SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants, or any portion thereof, are outstanding and unexpired, shall split, subdivide or combine the shares of Capital Stock into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination. When any adjustment is 5 required to be made to the initial or adjusted Exercise Price, the Company shall forthwith determine the new Exercise Price, prepare and retain on file a statement describing in reasonable detail the method used in arriving at the new Exercise Price, and cause a copy of such statement to be mailed to each Holder of Warrants within ten (10) days of such determination. (d) ADJUSTMENTS FOR DIVIDENDS IN STOCK OR OTHER SECURITIES OR PROPERTY. If, at any time while the Warrants, or any portion hereof, are outstanding and unexpired, the holders of the securities issuable upon exercise thereof shall have received, or on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company, by way of dividend or other distribution, then and in each case, such Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security issuable upon exercise of such Warrant, and without payment by the Holder of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company that such Holder would have held on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of such Warrant on the date of this Agreement and had thereafter, during the period from the date of this Agreement to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available to it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 8.1. 8.2 STATEMENT ON WARRANT. Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price, the Warrant Certificate theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrant Certificate initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement. SECTION 9. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDERS. Neither the Warrants nor any Warrant Certificate shall confer upon the Grantee, the Holder, or any transferee thereof, as holder of Warrants, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions, to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders, or any other rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. Nothing in this Section affects the rights of any person as a holder of Capital Stock. SECTION 10. NOTICES.
