2. METHOD OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT; ISSUANCE OF NEW WARRANT.
(a) Subject to Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by
this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof (in amounts of 1,000 Shares
or more) by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form
attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the
Company and by payment to the Company, by one of the methods specified in
subparagraph 2(b) below, of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price
per Share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased. In the event
of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the
Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof within thirty (30)
days of receipt of such notice. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and
such notice of exercise form, together with the applicable Warrant Price, the
holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Shares, notwithstanding
that certificates representing the Shares shall not then be actually delivered
to such holder. In the event that this Warrant is exercised for a number of
Shares less than the total number of Shares for which it may be exercised, the
Company shall deliver to the warrantholder at the time of delivery of a
certificate for purchased Shares, a new Warrant with the same terms as set forth
herein, but for a number of Shares reduced by the number of Shares as to which
this Warrant (and any subsequent surrendered Warrant) has already been
exercised.
(b) Payment of the exercise price (equal to the Warrant Price per
Share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased) of this Warrant
shall be made by (i) cashier's or certified check, (ii) wire transfer or
(iii) authorization for the Company to retain from the total number of Shares as
to which the Warrant is exercised that number of Shares having a fair market
value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number
of Shares as to which the Warrant is exercised. Any
-3-
combination of the foregoing methods of payment shall also be acceptable.
3. STOCK FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES.
All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant
according to its terms will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and
free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for the
purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this
Warrant, a sufficient number of Shares of its Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of this Warrant.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) RECLASSIFICATION. In case of any reclassification or change of
outstanding securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(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), the
Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cancel this Warrant
and execute and issue a new Warrant providing that the holder of this Warrant
shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and upon such exercise to
receive, in lieu of each Share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification by a holder
of one share of Common Stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Section 4. The provisions of this subparagraph 4(a) shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications.
(b) SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time
while this Warrant remains outstanding shall subdivide or combine the Common
Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a
subdivision or increased in the case of a combination.
(c) STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding shall pay a dividend with respect to the Common Stock payable in,
or make any other distribution with respect to the Common Stock (except any
distribution specifically provided for in the foregoing subparagraph (a) and
(b)) of, the
-4-
Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date
of determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.
(d) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment in the
Warrant Price, the number of Shares of the Common Stock purchasable hereunder
shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole Share, to the product obtained by
multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of
which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
5. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS.
Whenever any Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4
hereof, the Company shall make a certificate signed by its chief financial
officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment,
the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated, and the Warrant Price or Prices after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first
class mail, postage prepaid) to the holder of this Warrant at the address
specified below.
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES.
No fractional Shares of the Common Stock will be issued in connection
with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional Shares the Company
shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in
effect.
7. RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE.
(a) The Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject
to a 180-day market standoff agreement contained in the Investment
Representation Statement attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(b) The holder shall not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of any of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
except as follows:
(i) Before any of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant may be sold or transferred (including transfer by
-5-
operation of law), such Shares shall first be offered to the Company. The
holder shall deliver a notice ("Notice") to the Company stating (i) its bona
fide intention to sell or transfer such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares
to be sold or transferred, (iii) the price for which it proposes to sell or
transfer such Shares, and (iv) the name of the proposed purchaser or transferee.
(ii) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the
Company or its assignee may elect to purchase any or all Shares to which the
Notice refers, at the price per Share specified in the Notice.
(iii) If all the Shares to which the Notice refers are not elected
to be purchased by the Company, the holder may sell the remaining Shares to any
person named in the Notice at the price specified in the Notice or at a higher
price, provided that such sale or transfer is consummated within 60 days after
the date of such Notice to the Company, and provided further, that any such sale
is in accordance with all the terms and conditions hereof.
The provisions of this paragraph shall terminate upon (but not prior to)
the date specified in clauses 1(b)(ii) or 1(b)(iii) above (and without any
requirement of written notice from the Company). The provisions of this
subparagraph 5(b) shall not apply to a transfer of any Shares by a corporate
shareholder to any of its shareholders; PROVIDED, in each such case any such
transferee shall receive and hold such Shares subject to the provisions of this
subparagraph 5(b) and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares unless
in accordance herewith.
The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares
of the Company which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of
the provisions set forth in this Warrant or (ii) to treat as owner of such
Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any
transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
8. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.
The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this
Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for
investment and that it will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant
or any Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances which
will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder hereof shall
confirm in writing, in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, that the Shares so
purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward
distribution or resale. This Warrant and all Shares issued upon exercise of
this Warrant shall

Exhibit B
INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
In connection with the acquisition of ______ Shares of Common Stock of
Domestic Automation Company, the undersigned hereby represents to Domestic
Automation Company (the "Company") as follows:
RECEIPT OF INFORMATION. The undersigned believes that it has received all
information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
purchase the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant dated
_______________ issued by the Company to the undersigned (the "Warrant"), and it
has examined the information furnished to it by the Company.
INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION.
(a) The Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of the Warrant will
be acquired for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and
not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and it has no
intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing
the same, but subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the
disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control. By
executing this Statement, the undersigned further represents that it does not
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
sell, transfer, or grant participations to such person or to any third person,
with respect to the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Warrant.
(b) The undersigned understands that any Common Stock acquired upon
exercise of the Warrant at the time of issuance may not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state
securities laws on the ground that the issuance of securities is exempt pursuant
to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and a state law exemption relating to
offers and sales not by means of a public offering and that the Company's
reliance on such exemptions is predicated on the undersigned's representations
set forth herein.
(c) The undersigned agrees that in no event will it make a disposition of
any Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Warrant unless and until
(i) it shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall
have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the
proposed disposition and (ii) it shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect
that (A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities laws has been taken or an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws is available and
(B) that the proposed transfer will not violate any of said laws.
(d) The undersigned represents that it is able to fend for itself in
connection with its purchase of Common Stock as contemplated by this Statement,
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and that it has the
ability to bear the economic risks (including the risk of total loss) of its
investment. The undersigned represents that it has had the opportunity to ask
questions of the Company concerning the Company's business and assets and to
obtain any additional information which it considered necessary to verify the
accuracy of or to amplify the Company's disclosures, and has had all questions
which have been asked by such undersigned satisfactorily answered by the
Company.
(e) The undersigned acknowledges that the Common Stock acquired upon
exercise of the Warrant must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
The undersigned is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act
which permit limited resale of Shares purchased in a private placement subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the
existence of a public market for the Shares, the availability of certain current
public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than two
years after the later of sale by the issuer or sale by any of its affiliates,
the sale being made through a "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly
with a "market maker" (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and the number of Shares
being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
The undersigned is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144
have not been satisfied to date, and that they may not be satisfied at any
future date on which the undersigned might otherwise choose to sell the Shares.
MARKET STANDOFF AGREEMENT
As required by the terms of the Warrant, the undersigned hereby agrees in
connection with the first registration of the Company's securities, whether for
its own account or for the accounts of others, not to sell, make any short sale
of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of
the Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant (other than those
included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company
and underwriters managing the offering for such period of time (not to exceed
180 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company or the
underwriters may specify; PROVIDED however, that (i) the undersigned shall be
relieved of its obligations hereunder unless all executive officers and
directors of the Company enter into similar agreements and (ii) nothing herein
shall prevent the undersigned from making a distribution of Shares to its
shareholders, if made in compliance with applicable securities laws, provided
that all such shareholders shall remain subject to this paragraph.
-2-
The terms of this market standoff agreement shall be applicable to
shareholders to whom any Shares are transferred, and receipt of a written
acknowledgement of this provision by the Company shall be a condition precedent
to transfer of any Shares.
