continuing the Lender need not give any notice), the Lender shall have the right
at any time to make any payments and do any other acts the Lender may deem
necessary to protect its security interests in the Collateral, including,

and appear in, and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect its
security interests in, or the value of, any of the Collateral. The Borrower
hereby agrees to reimburse the Lender for all payments made and expenses
incurred under this Agreement including fees, expenses, and disbursements of

acting for the Lender, including any of the foregoing payments under, or acts
taken to protect its security interests in, any of the Collateral, which amounts
shall be secured under this Agreement, and agrees it shall be bound by any

insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of the

same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and any

by telecopier or other facsimile transmission all with the same force and effect
as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart.
SECTION 9.11. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement or any Note or any other Loan Document shall be invalid,

impaired thereby.
SECTION 9.12. DELAYS; PARTIAL EXERCISE OF REMEDIES. No delay or
omission of the Lender to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before
or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or
shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default.

remedy.

Dear ▇▇▇:
Transamerica Business Credit Corporation - Technology Finance Division
("Lender") is pleased to offer financing for working capital purposes described
in this letter to Cardima, Inc. ("Borrower"). This Commitment supersedes all

financing arrangements between Borrower and Lender.
The outline of this offer is as follows:
Borrower: Carlima, Inc.
---------
Lender: Transamerica Business Credit Corporation -
------- Technology Finance Division, or its affiliates,
successors or assigns.
Use of Proceeds: Proceeds of the Loan outlined herein will be
---------------- used for general working capital purposes.
Anticipated Closing Date: The Closing Date(s) is anticipated to be on or
------------------------- after March 31, 1998, but in no event later than
March 31, 1999.
Loan Amount: Not to exceed $3,000,000, with each advance
------------ (except the last) to be not less than
$1,000,000.
Collateral: To secure the loan, Lender will require a
----------- perfected first lien and security interest in
all assets of Borrower, now owned or hereafter
acquired, including cash, accounts receivable,
inventory, machinery, equipment, furniture,
fixtures, tools, copyrights, licenses, patents,
trademarks, tradenames, other intellectual

general intangibles, and all other assets.
Subject to the right of first offer set forth
below, Lender agrees that it will subordinate
its interest in accounts receivable of Borrower,
if required by a qualified lender in connection
with a working capital line of credit subject to
a subordination agreement acceptable to Lender.
Interest Rate: 11.50% per annum.
-------------
Loan Payments: Payments of interest only shall be paid monthly in
------------- arrears for the first 6 months of the Loan. Thereafter,
30 equal payments of principal and interest shall be
paid monthly in arrears. A final balloon payment shall
be paid at the end of month 36. Assuming a single
advance of the entire $3,000,000, payments for each of
the first 6 months would be $28,750, payments for each
of the next 30 months would be $106,961.58 and the
balloon payment at the end of month 36 would be
$300,000.
Right of First Offer: If and when, during the term of the Loan, Borrower

proposal if the terms and conditions of the proposal

proposal received by Borrower.

Warrant Coverage: As an inducement to the Lender to enter into this
---------------- financing, the Borrower will provide to Lender warrants
to acquire shares of the Borrower's common stock having
an aggregate exercise price equal to $300,000. The
exercise price per share will be the trading price of
the shares at the close of the market on the date
hereof. The warrants will be exercisable for a period
of five years. Lender will have the option to exercise
the Warrants without payment of the exercise price and
receive only that number of shares which represents the
value of the difference between the fair market value
of the shares and the exercise price (i.e. "net
issuance" or "cashless exercise").

---------- directors and employees against all claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
which may be incurred by or asserted against any such person in connection
with or arising out of this letter and the transactions contemplated hereby, other

negligence or willful misconduct.

---------------- substance shall be disclosed publicly or privately to any third person except
those who are in a confidential relationship to you (such as your legal counsel
and accountants); or where the same is required by law (including all applicable
federal and state securities laws), which conditions Borrower and its agents
agree to be bound by upon acceptance of this letter.

Borrower for use in promotional material by the Lender.

Collateral").
SECTION 2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Grantor.
--------------------------------------------------------
(a) The Grantor is and will continue to be the owner of all of the
Intellectual Property Collateral, except as set forth in Schedule D, free from
any adverse claim, security interest, lien or encumbrance in favor of any Person
except for the security interest granted to the Lender and except for Permitted
Liens.
(b) None of the Intellectual Property Collateral is or shall become
subject to any Lien in favor of any Person other than the Lender and except for
any Permitted Liens, and the Grantor agrees that it shall not license, transfer,
convey or encumber any interest in or to the Intellectual Property Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantor shall be permitted to license any of
the Trademarks on a non-exclusive basis in the ordinary course of business to
(i) third parties for the sole purpose of manufacturing, marketing, advertising,
distributing, or selling goods that are not manufactured, marketed, advertised,
distributed, or sold by the Grantor, or (ii) third parties that do not
manufacture, market, advertise, distribute, or sell goods in the United States
or to others for sale in the United States. Any license of the Intellectual
Property Collateral granted by the Grantor (each, a "License") shall be in
writing and shall reserve all rights in the Grantor except those reasonably
necessary in the ordinary course of business to fulfill the permitted purposes
herein. The Grantor shall cause a copy of each License to be delivered to the
Lender within thirty (30) days of execution by all parties thereto.
2
(c) Except as disclosed in Schedule D hereto, the Grantor has made no
previous assignment, transfer or agreement in conflict herewith or constituting
a present or future assignment, transfer, or encumbrance of any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral.
(d) Except as disclosed in Schedule D hereto, there is no financing
statement or other document or instrument now signed or on file in any public
office granting a security interest in or otherwise encumbering any part of the
Intellectual Property Collateral, except those showing the Lender as secured
party. So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, the Grantor will not
execute, and there will not be on file in any public office, any such financing
statement or other document or instruments, except financing statements filed or
to be filed in favor of the Lender.
(e) Subject to any limitation stated therein or in connection
therewith, all information furnished to the Lender concerning the Intellectual
Property Collateral and proceeds thereof is and will be accurate and correct in
all material respects.
(f) Except as disclosed in Schedule D hereto, to the Company's
knowledge, all Intellectual Property Collateral consisting of applications for
Patents and for registrations of Trademarks and Copyrights has been duly and
properly filed and all Intellectual Property Collateral consisting of issued or
granted Patents and of registrations of Trademarks and Copyrights (including,
without limitation, any and all renewals, reissues, continuations or divisions
thereof, as the case may be) has been duly and properly maintained.
(g) Promptly upon the receipt of an official filing receipt indicating
that a patent application or an application for registration of a trademark has
been received by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or an application for
registration of a copyright has been received by the U.S. Copyright Office and
upon the issuance of any patent or of any trademark or copyright registration,
the Grantor agrees to notify the Lender in writing, which notice shall identify
such patent, trademark or copyright application or patent, trademark or
copyright registration, and the Grantor shall execute all documents necessary to
perfect a security interest in such patent, trademark or copyright application
or such patent or trademark or copyright registration, and the Grantor shall
annually, or more frequently as the Lender shall request, cause an instrument
sufficient to perfect, protect or establish any Lien hereunder to be recorded in
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office with respect to all United States patent
applications filed by it or patents issued to it during the prior calendar year
and with respect to all trademark applications filed by it or trademark
registrations issued to it during the prior calendar year, and the Grantor shall
annually, or more frequently as the Lender shall request, cause an instrument
sufficient to perfect, protect or establish any Lien hereunder to be recorded in
the U.S. Copyright Office with respect to United States copyright applications
filed by it or copyright registrations issued to it during the prior calendar
year.
(h) The Grantor shall not intentionally take any action, or permit any
action to be taken by others subject to the Grantor's control, including
licensees, or fail to take any action, or permit others subject to the Grantor's
control, including licensees, to fail to take any action, subject to the
provisions of Section 2(g), which would, in the case of any such actions or
failures to act taken singly or together, adversely affect the validity, grant
and enforceability of the security interest granted to the Lender hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantor shall be permitted to abandon any of
the Trademarks in accordance with the terms of Section 2(l).
(i) The Grantor shall promptly notify the Lender, in writing, of any
suit, action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim brought against the Grantor that
would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the Intellectual Property
Collateral, and shall, on request, deliver to the Lender a copy of all
pleadings, papers, orders or decrees theretofore and thereafter filed in any
such suit, action or proceeding, and shall keep the Lender duly advised in
writing of the progress of any such suit.
(j) To the best knowledge and belief of the Grantor, no infringement
or unauthorized use presently is being made of any Intellectual Property
Collateral. The Grantor has advised the Lender of its trademark monitoring and
enforcement program. In the event of any material infringement of the
3
Intellectual Property Collateral by others or in the event of any other conduct
detrimental to the Intellectual Property Collateral by others known or brought
to the attention of the Grantor, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Lender in
writing at its address set forth in Section 5(a) of such infringement or other
conduct and the full nature, extent, evidence and facts of such infringement or
other conduct known to the Grantor.
(k) If requested by the Lender, the Grantor shall provide the Lender a
complete status report of all Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon request by
the Lender, the Grantor shall deliver to counsel for the Lender copies of any
such Intellectual Property Collateral and other documents concerning or related
to the prosecution, protection, maintenance, enforcement and issuance of the
Intellectual Property Collateral.
(l) The Grantor shall notify the Lender in writing at the address set
forth in Section 5(a) prior to any proposed voluntary abandonment (which is not
in furtherance of an application for another Patent) of any Intellectual
Property Collateral (other than items of Intellectual Property Collateral that
are not useful or beneficial to the business and operations of the Grantor) and
obtain the prior written consent of the Lender to such abandonment.
(m) During the term of this Agreement, the Grantor agrees:
(i) whenever any of the registered Trademarks are used by or
on behalf of the Grantor, if reasonably practicable, to affix or cause
to be affixed a notice that the ▇▇▇▇ is a registered trademark or
service ▇▇▇▇, which notice shall be in a form accepted or required by
the trademark marking laws of each country in which the ▇▇▇▇ is so
used and registered; and
(ii) whenever any of the underlying works covered by
registered Copyrights are used by or on behalf of the Grantor, if
reasonably practicable, to affix or cause to be affixed a notice that
said underlying works are so covered, which notice shall be in a form
accepted or required by the copyright laws of such country in which
said underlying works are so used and registered.
(n) Subject to the provisions of Section 4(g), during the term of
this Agreement, all income, royalties, payments and damages due and payable to
the Grantor under or in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral shall be
paid to the Grantor.
(o) The Grantor agrees, upon the reasonable request by the Lender,
during the term of this Agreement:
(i) to execute, acknowledge and deliver all additional
instruments and documents necessary or desirable to effect the
purposes and intents of this Agreement, in a form reasonably
acceptable to counsel for the Lender; and
(ii) to do all such other acts as may be necessary or
appropriate to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement,
and to create, evidence, perfect and continue the security interests
of the Lender in the Intellectual Property Collateral.
SECTION 3. Indemnity. The Grantor agrees to indemnify the Lender
---------
from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or
resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of
this Agreement and any actions taken pursuant to Section 4 or any failure to act
thereunder).
SECTION 4. Rights and Remedies Upon an Event of Default.
--------------------------------------------
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
then and in every such case, subject to any mandatory Requirements of Law, the
Lender, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein and any
rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law, shall have all rights and
remedies as a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code in all relevant
jurisdictions and may:
4
(i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take
possession of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any part
thereof, from the Grantor or any other Person who then has possession
of any part thereof, with or without notice or process of law, and for
that purpose may enter upon the Grantor's premises where any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral is located and remove the same and
use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies,
aids and other facilities of the Grantor; and
(ii) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct the
Grantor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, any or all of the
Intellectual Property Collateral or any part thereof, and take
possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;
(b) Any collateral repossessed by the Lender under or pursuant
to Section 4(a), may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under
one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering
at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at
such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Lender may,
in compliance with any Requirements of Law, determine to be commercially
reasonable. Any such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private
proceedings permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 30
days' written notice to the Grantor specifying the time at which such
disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration
therefor, and shall be subject, for the 10 days after the giving of such notice,
to the right of the Grantor or any nominee of the Grantor to acquire the
Intellectual Property Collateral involved at a price or for such other
consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration
so specified. Any such disposition which shall be a public sale permitted by
such requirements shall be made upon not less than 30 days' written notice to
the Grantor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of
applicable Requirements of Law, shall be by public auction (which may, at the
option of the Lender, be subject to reserve), after publication of notice of
such auction not less than 10 days prior thereto in two newspapers of general
circulation in the jurisdiction in which such auction is to be held. To the
extent permitted by any such Requirements of Law, the Lender may bid for and
become the purchaser of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any item
thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section without accountability
to the Grantor (except to the extent of surplus money received). If, under
mandatory Requirements of Law, the Lender shall be required to make disposition
of the Intellectual Property Collateral within a period of time which does not
permit the giving of notice to the Grantor as hereinabove specified, the Lender
need give the Grantor only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably
practicable in view of such mandatory Requirements of Law. The Lender shall not
be obligated to make any sale of Intellectual Property Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private
sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it
was so adjourned.
(c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default,
the Lender shall have the right at any time to make any payments and do any
other acts the Lender may deem necessary to protect its security interests in
the Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, the rights
to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any Lien which, in the reasonable
judgment of the Lender, appears to be prior to or superior to the security
interests granted hereunder, and appear in and defend any action or proceeding
purporting to affect its security interests in, or the value of, the
Intellectual Property Collateral. The Grantor hereby agrees to reimburse the
Lender for all payments made and expenses incurred under this Agreement
including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and
paralegals acting for the Lender, including any of the foregoing payments under,
or acts taken to protect its security interests in, the Intellectual Property
Collateral, which amounts shall be secured under this Agreement, and agrees it
shall be bound by any payment made or act taken by the Lender hereunder absent
the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Lender shall have no
obligation to make any of the foregoing payments or perform any of the foregoing
acts.
(d) The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints the
Lender, or any Person or agent the Lender may designate, as the Grantor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and
in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, at the Grantor's cost and expense, in
the Lender's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that
the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to
5
accomplish the purposes and intents of this Agreement and to exercise all of the
following powers upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, which powers, being coupled with an
interest, shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations shall have been paid
and satisfied in full:
(i) ask for, demand, collect, bring suit, recover,
compromise, administer, accelerate or extend the time of payment,
issue credits, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts
for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral;
(ii) receive, take, endorse, negotiate, sign, assign and
deliver and collect any checks, notes, drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (i) above;
(iii) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the
Grantor and notify postal authorities to change the address for
delivery thereof to such address as the Lender may designate;
(iv) give customers indebted on the Intellectual Property
Collateral notice of the Lender's interest therein, or to instruct
such customers to make payment directly to the Lender for the
Grantor's account or to request, at any time from customers indebted
on the Intellectual Property Collateral, verification of information
concerning the Intellectual Property Collateral and the amounts owing
thereon;
(v) convey any item of Intellectual Property Collateral to
any purchaser thereof;
(vi) record any instruments under Section 2(g) hereof;
(vii) make any payments or take any acts under Section 4(c)
hereof; and
(viii) file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings that the Lender may reasonably deem necessary or desirable
for the collection of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral or
otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of
the Intellectual Property Collateral.
The Lender's authority under this Section 4(d) shall include, without
limitation, the authority to execute and give receipt for any certificate of
ownership or any document, transfer title to any item of Intellectual Property
Collateral, sign the Grantor's name on all financing statements or any other
documents deemed necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect or perfect the
security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral and to file the same,
prepare, file and sign the Grantor's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or
satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with any Intellectual
Property Collateral and prepare, file and sign the Grantor's name on a proof of
claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any customer of the Grantor, and
to take any other actions arising from or incident to the rights, powers and
remedies granted to the Lender in this Agreement. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable by the Grantor.
(e) All cash proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Intellectual Property Collateral shall be applied by the Lender against the
Obligations in such order as the Lender may determine.
(f) The Lender shall have the right of setoff with respect to
the Intellectual Property Collateral as provided Section 9.14 of the Loan
Agreement.
(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, all income, royalties, payments and damages under or in respect of
the Intellectual Property Collateral, if any, received thereafter shall be held
by the Grantor in trust for the benefit of the Lender, separate from the
Grantor's own property or funds and immediately turned over to the Lender with
proper assignments or endorsements. Upon the
6
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender shall
have the right to notify payors of income, royalties, payments and damages under
or in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral to make payment directly
to the Lender.
(h) Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given
to the Lender shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy
specifically given under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute, and each and every
right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing
may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such
order as may be deemed expedient by the Lender. All such rights, powers and
remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of
one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise of any other or
others. No delay or omission of the Lender in the exercise of any such right,
power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall
impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of
any Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein.

(c) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable,
------------
and if any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole
or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall

----------------------------
continuing security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral and shall
(i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the
Obligations and the termination of the Loan Agreement, (ii) be binding upon the

otherwise, in each case as provided in the Loan Agreement.
(g) Reinstatement. To the extent permitted by law, this Agreement
-------------
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated if at any time any amount

subject of an Insolvency Event, all as though such payments had not been made.
(h) Survival of Provisions. All representations, warranties and
----------------------
covenants of the Grantor contained herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and shall terminate only upon the full and final

secured by this Agreement.
(j) No Duty on Lender. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder
-----------------
are solely to protect the interest of the Lenders in the Intellectual Property
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such
powers. Except for the safe custody of any Intellectual Property Collateral in
its possession and the accounting for money actually received by it hereunder,
the Lender shall have no duty as to any Intellectual Property Collateral, as to
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters related to any Intellectual Property
Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such
matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
any Person or any other rights pertaining to any Intellectual Property
Collateral. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any Intellectual Property Collateral in its
possession if such Intellectual Property Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Lender accords its own property. To the
extent the Intellectual Property Collateral is held by a custodian, the Lender
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it has selected the
custodian with reasonable care.
(k) Delays; Partial Exercise of Remedies. No delay or omission of the
------------------------------------
Lender to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before or after the
happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or shall operate
as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default. No single or
partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other
or further exercise thereof, or preclude any other right or remedy.
(l) Release; Termination of Agreement. Subject to the provisions
---------------------------------
of subsection (g) hereof, upon the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and all rights
in the Intellectual Property Collateral shall revert to the Grantor. At such
time, the Lender shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Grantor, (A)

not been sold, disposed of, retained or applied by the Lender in accordance with
the terms hereof. Such reassignment and redelivery shall be without warranty by

the Lender of its interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral.
8

NO. 1
STOCK SUBSCRIPTION WARRANT
TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF
CARDIMA, INC. (THE "COMPANY")
DATE OF INITIAL ISSUANCE: JUNE 24, 1998
THIS CERTIFIES THAT for value received, TRANSAMERICA BUSINESS CREDIT
CORPORATION or its registered assigns (hereinafter called the "Holder") is
entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time during the Term of this
Warrant, Seventy-Five Thousand (75,000) shares of common stock, $.001 par value,
of the Company (the "Common Stock"), at the Warrant Price, payable as provided
herein. The exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to the provisions,
limitations and restrictions herein contained, and may be exercised in whole or
in part.
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.
-----------
For all purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
COMMON STOCK - shall mean and include the Company's authorized Common
------------
Stock, $.001 par value, as constituted at the date hereof.
EXCHANGE ACT - shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
------------
from time to time.
SECURITIES ACT - the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
--------------
TERM OF THIS WARRANT - shall mean the period beginning on the date of
--------------------
initial issuance hereof and ending on June 24, 2003.
WARRANT PRICE - $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with
-------------
Section 5 hereof.
WARRANTS - this Warrant, which is issued in connection with a Commitment
--------
Letter dated March 27, 1998 executed by the Company and Transamerica Business
Credit Corporation (the "Commitment Letter") to the original holder of this
Warrant, or any transferees from such original holder or this Holder.
WARRANT SHARES - shares of Common Stock purchased or purchasable by the
--------------
Holder of this Warrant upon the exercise hereof.
SECTION 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
-------------------
2.1. PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE OF WARRANT. To exercise this Warrant in whole
---------------------------------
or in part (but not as to any fractional share of Common Stock), the Holder
shall deliver to the Company at its office referred to in Section 12 hereof at
any time and from time to time during the Term of this Warrant: (i) the Notice
of Exercise in the form attached hereto, (ii) cash, certified or official bank
check payable to the order of the Company, wire transfer of funds to the
Company's account, or evidence of any indebtedness of the Company to the Holder
(or any combination of any of the foregoing) in the amount of the Warrant Price
for each share being purchased, and (iii) this Warrant. Notwithstanding any
provisions herein to the contrary, if the Current Market Price (as defined in
Section 5) is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation, as set
forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant as hereinabove permitted, the
Holder may elect to receive shares of Common Stock equal to the value (as
determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by
surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company referred to in Section 12
hereof, together with the Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall
issue to the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
CS = WCS x (CMP-WP)
--------------
CMP
Where
CS equals the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
WCS equals the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised,
the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such
calculation)
CMP equals the Current Market Price (at the date of such calculation)
WP equals the Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a
certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased,
registered in the name of the Holder or such other name or names as may be
designated by the Holder, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within a
reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen (15) days, after the rights represented
by this Warrant shall have been so exercised; and, unless this Warrant has
expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares (except a remaining
fractional share), if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then
have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within such time.
The person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become
the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was
surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the
date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of
the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.
2.2. TRANSFER RESTRICTION LEGEND. Each certificate for Warrant Shares
---------------------------
shall bear the following legend (and any additional legend required by (i) any
applicable state securities laws and (ii) any securities exchange upon which
such Warrant Shares may, at the time of such exercise, be listed) on
-2-
the face thereof unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares shall be
registered under the Securities Act:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold or transferred
in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom under said
Act."
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a public distribution under a registration statement of the securities
represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of
counsel for the holder thereof (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory
to counsel for the Company) the securities represented thereby are not, at such
time, required by law to bear such legend.
SECTION 3. COVENANTS AS TO COMMON STOCK. The Company covenants and agrees that
----------------------------
all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to
the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay
when due and payable any and all federal and state taxes which may be payable in
respect of the issue of this Warrant or any Common Stock or certificates
therefor issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, subject to a maximum of
$3,000. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all
times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that if
any shares of capital stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of
shares upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval
of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares
may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will in good
faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or
approval, as the case may be. If and so long as the Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange, the
Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed
on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant
------------------------------
Price as provided in Section 5, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of
shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest tenth of a share) obtained by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant hereto immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Price
resulting from such adjustment.
SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE. The Warrant Price shall be subject to
---------------------------
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) If, at any time during the Term of this Warrant, the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares
of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then,
following the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive such stock dividend, subdivision or split-up, the Warrant
Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be increased in proportion to such
increase in outstanding shares.
-3-
(ii) If, at any time during the Term of this Warrant, the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date for such combination,
the Warrant Price shall appropriately increase so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be decreased in proportion
to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(iii) In case, at any time during the Term of this Warrant, the Company
shall declare a cash dividend upon its Common Stock payable otherwise than out
of earnings or earned surplus or shall distribute to holders of its Common Stock
shares of its capital stock (other than Common Stock), stock or other securities
of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other
persons, assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions) or options or
rights (excluding options to purchase and rights to subscribe for Common Stock
or other securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock), then, in each such case, immediately following the record date fixed for
the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution, the Warrant Price in effect thereafter shall be
determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be an amount equal to the
difference of (x) the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock minus
(y) the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the stock, securities,
evidences of indebtedness, assets, options or rights so distributed in respect
of one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such Current
Market Price.
(iv) All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a share, as the case may be.
(v) For the purpose of any computation pursuant to this Section 5, the
Current Market Price at any date of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to
be the average of the daily closing prices for the 15 consecutive business days
ending on the last business day before the day in question (as adjusted for any
stock dividend, split, combination or reclassification that took effect during
such 15 business day period). The closing price for each day shall be the last
reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sales took place
on such day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices regular way,
in either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is listed or admitted to trading or as reported by Nasdaq (or if the
Common Stock is not at the time listed or admitted for trading on any such
exchange or if prices of the Common Stock are not reported by Nasdaq then such
price shall be equal to the average of the last reported bid and asked prices on
such day as reported by The National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or any
similar reputable quotation and reporting service, if such quotation is not
reported by The National Quotation Bureau Incorporated); provided, however, that
if the Common Stock is not traded in such manner that the quotations referred to
in this clause (v) are available for the period required hereunder, the Current
Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company or, if such determination cannot be made, by a nationally recognized
independent investment banking firm selected by the Board of Directors of the
Company (or if such selection cannot be made, by a nationally recognized
independent investment banking firm selected by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its rules).
(vi) Whenever the Warrant Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section
5, the Company shall prepare a statement showing the facts requiring such
adjustment and the Warrant Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment.
The Company shall cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class
postage prepaid, to each Holder of this Warrant at its, his or her address
appearing on the
-4-
Company's records. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may
be included as part of the notice required to be mailed under the provisions of
subsection (viii) of this Section 5.
(vii) Adjustments made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall
be made on the date such dividend, subdivision, split-up, combination or
distribution, as the case may be, is made, and shall become effective at the
opening of business on the business day next following the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to such dividend, subdivision, split-up,
combination or distribution.
(viii) In the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the
types described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of this Section 5, the Company
shall forward, at the same time and in the same manner, to the Holder of this
Warrant such notice, if any, which the Company shall give to the holders of
capital stock of the Company.
(ix) In any case in which the provisions of this Section 5 shall require
that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an
event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the
Holder of all or any part of this Warrant which is exercised after such record
date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of capital
stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such
event over and above the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise
before giving effect to such adjustment exercise; provided, however, that the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a due ▇▇▇▇ or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such Holder's right to receive such additional shares upon the
occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
SECTION 6. OWNERSHIP.
---------
6.1. OWNERSHIP OF THIS WARRANT. The Company may deem and treat the person
-------------------------
in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone
other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer
as provided in this Section 6.
6.2. TRANSFER AND REPLACEMENT. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are
------------------------
transferable in whole or in part (but not to more than three other holders) upon
the books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney, and a new Warrant or Warrants, of the same tenor as this Warrant but
registered in the name of the transferee or transferees (and in the name of the
Holder, if a partial transfer is effected) shall be made and delivered by the
Company upon surrender of this Warrant duly endorsed, at the office of the
Company referred to in Section 12 hereof. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or destruction, and,
in such case, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
surrender of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new
Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided that if the Holder
hereof is an instrumentality of a state or local government or an institutional
holder or a nominee for such an instrumentality or institutional holder an
irrevocable agreement of indemnity by such Holder shall be sufficient for all
purposes of this Section 6, and no evidence of loss or theft or destruction
shall be necessary. This Warrant shall be promptly cancelled by the Company upon
the surrender hereof in connection with any transfer or replacement. Stock
transfer taxes (if any) payable in connection with a transfer of this Warrant,
shall be payable by the Holder. Holder will not transfer this Warrant and the
rights hereunder except in compliance with federal and state securities laws.
