or the Warrants or the performance by the Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby (excluding any filings required under Federal or State
securities laws) except where the failure to obtain such consents,
authorizations or orders, or make such filings or registrations, would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to
perform the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
4.5 Commission Filings. The Company has filed all reports,
registration statements and other filings, together with any amendments or
supplements required to be made with respect thereto, that it has been required

Securities Act and the Exchange Act and did not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
4.6 Private Offering. Based, in part, on TVG's representations in
Section 5, the offering and issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to Section 2
and the Warrants pursuant to Section 5, as well as the offering and issuance of
Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, is or will be, as the case may be,
exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. Neither the Company, nor anyone acting on behalf of it, has
offered or sold or will
-5-
offer or sell any securities, or has taken or will take any other action
(including, without limitation, any offering of any securities of the Company
under circumstances that would require, under the Securities Act, the
integration of such offering with the offering and issuance of Common Stock and
Warrants contemplated by this Agreement), that would subject the offering and
issuance of Common Stock and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement to the
registration provisions of the Securities Act.
5. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.
TVG represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
5.1 TVG is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Warrants. TVG will acquire
the Warrants and the Shares for its own account for investment purposes only and
not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution" for
purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
5.2 TVG understands that the Warrants and the Shares have not been
registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption, which exemption
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of its investment intent
as expressed herein.
5.3 TVG further understands that the Warrants and the Shares are not
transferable unless transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise
available. Moreover, TVG understands that, except as set forth in the Rights
Agreement, the Company is under no obligation to register the Warrants or the
Shares. In addition, the Purchaser understands that the Warrants and the Shares
will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits the transfer of the Warrants or
the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required under
the Securities Act in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.
5.4 TVG is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the
Securities Act, that in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted
securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer (or from an
affiliate of the issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions, including, in case TVG has held the securities less than
two years or is an affiliate of the Company: (1) the resale occurring not less
than one year after the party has purchased and paid for the securities to be
sold; (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company; (3)
the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or
in transactions directly with a market maker (as such terms are defined under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); (4) the amount of securities being sold
during any three-month period not exceeding certain specified limitations and
(5) the filing of a Notice of Sale on Form 144 as appropriate.
5.5 TVG further understands that at the time it wishes to sell the
Warrants or the Shares there may be no public market upon which to make such a
sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists the Company may not be
satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in
such event, TVG would be precluded from selling the Warrants or Shares under
Rule 144 unless (1) a two-year minimum holding period had been satisfied
-6-
and (2) it is not at the time of sale nor at any time during the three-month
period prior to such sale an affiliate (as defined under the Securities Act) of
the Company.
5.6 TVG further understands that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities
Act, compliance with Regulation A or some other registration exemption will be
required in order to transfer the Warrant or the Shares; and that,
notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the SEC
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities
other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 may
have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from
registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and
their respective brokers who participate in such transaction do so at their own
risk.
5.7 TVG is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
6. RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the period within which the rights
represented by any of the Warrants may be exercised, the Company will at all
times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon conversion
and exercise of any of these Warrants a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the issuance of the maximum number of shares issuable upon
conversion and exercise of outstanding Warrants.
7. LEGENDS.
7.1 Each Warrant shall be endorsed with the following legend (in
addition to any legend required by applicable state securities laws):

THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT

7 and the stop transfer instructions with respect to the Warrants or the Shares
represented by such certificate shall be removed and the Company shall issue a

opinion of the staff of the SEC to the effect that a public sale, transfer or
assignment of such Shares may be made without registration and without
compliance with any restriction under the Securities Act, such as Rule 144.

2 or Warrants pursuant to Section 3 or to purchase any Shares under any Warrant
other than such an assignment to an Affiliate of TVG, until such Warrant has

non-assessable shares (the "Shares), par value $0.001 per share ("Common
Stock"), of Common Stock of Wink Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation
whose address is ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the "COMPANY"),
at the price of _____________ ($ _____ ) per share in accordance with the terms
of the Common Stock and Warrant Issuance Agreement of January 31, 2001 between
the Company and Holder (the "EXERCISE PRICE," as adjusted pursuant to Section 3
hereof), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth.
1. Exercise; Payment.
1.1 Time of Exercise. This Warrant shall become exercisable at any
time after the date of issuance but prior to its expiration pursuant to Section
10 hereof.
1.2 Method of Exercise.
(a) Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of
this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Attachment 1
and the investment representation statement attached hereto as Attachment 2,
each duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment
to the Company, by certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the
Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being
purchased.
(b) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant
for cash, the Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in
which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock computed using the following formula:
Y (A-B)
X = -------
A
Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant.
A = the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common
Stock, as defined below.
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation).
(c) Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 1, the
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock shall mean:
(i) The average of the closing ask prices of the
Company's Common Stock quoted in the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Market Summary or
if not available, the average of the closing prices quoted on any national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, as published in the
Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal, in either such case for the ten
trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value;
(ii) If the Company's Common Stock is not traded on
the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Market or on a national securities exchange, the per
share fair market value of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value price
per share as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
1.3 Stock Certificates. Any exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed
to have occurred immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its
surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all
purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of the close of business on
such date. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant, certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be
delivered to the Holder promptly and, unless this Warrant has
-2-
been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the shares with
respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued
to the Holder promptly.
2. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price
therefor in cash, or in accordance with the net-issue exercise procedure set
forth in Section 1(b) be fully paid and non-assessable, 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 shall
at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares of its
Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant.
3. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. Subject to the
provisions of Section 10 hereof, the number and kind of securities purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events,
as follows:
3.1 Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In case of any
reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a change in par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any
consolidation, merger of the Company with or into another entity (other than a
merger with another entity in which the Company is the surviving entity and that
does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities of
the type issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company or such successor or
purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall in connection with such transaction
execute a new Warrant, providing that the holder of this Warrant shall have the
right to exercise such new Warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment
of the same aggregate Exercise Price, and upon terms and conditions
substantially the same as those set forth in this Warrant in lieu of the shares
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, change, consolidation, merger, exchange or sale by a
holder of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. Such new Warrant shall
provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of a merger or sale of all or substantially all the
assets of the Company in which the consideration received by holders of Common
Stock consists solely of cash, then the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled
to receive such amount of cash received by holders of Common Stock on the date
such amount is received by holders of Common Stock on an equal basis with
holders of Common Stock as if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior
to such event, less the Exercise Price. Upon payment of such amount, this
Warrant will terminate. The provisions of this subsection 3.1 shall similarly
apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers and
transfers.
3.2 Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. In the event that the
Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock or
shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock the
number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be
proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately
decreased, and in the event
-3-
that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise
Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on
the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.
4. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder or the Exercise Price therefor shall be adjusted pursuant
to Section 3 hereof, the Company shall provide written notice to the holder of
this Warrant 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 number of Shares that may be purchased and the Exercise
Price therefor after giving effect to such adjustment.
5. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereunder. In lieu of such fractional shares,
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based upon the Fair Market Value
of such Common Stock on the date of exercise.
6. Representations of the Company. The Company represents that all
corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and
stockholders necessary for the exercising and delivery of this Warrant, the sale
and issuance of the Shares upon exercise hereof and the performance of the
Company's obligations hereunder were taken prior to and are effective as of the
date of issuance of this Warrant.
7. Restrictive Legend. Securities issued upon exercise of this Warrant
(unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with
a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT
SUCH SALE, OFFER OR PLEDGE IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND OF ANY APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
8. Restrictions Upon Transfer and Removal of Legend.
8.1 The Company need not register a transfer of Shares bearing the
restrictive legend set forth in Section 7 hereof, unless the conditions
specified in such legend are satisfied. The Company may also instruct its
transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Shares, unless one of the
conditions specified in the legend referred to in Section 7 hereof is satisfied.
-4-
8.2 In order to effect any transfer of all or a portion of this
Warrant or the Shares, the transferor shall deliver a completed and duly
executed Notice of Transfer (attached hereto as Attachment 3).
9. Rights of Stockholders. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, by
virtue of its status as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be
deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that
may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall
anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this
Warrant, by virtue of its status as a Warrant holder, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or
upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or
withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization,
issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of
meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the
Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise
hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
10. Expiration of Warrant. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be
exercisable (to the extent, if at all, it has been come exercisable prior to
such expiration) upon the earlier to occur of:

SECURITY : COMMON STOCK ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
WARRANT ISSUED ON JANUARY 31, 2001
AMOUNT : SHARES
----------
DATE :
--------------
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the Purchaser
represents to the Seller and to the Company the following:
(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Purchaser is
purchasing these Securities for its own account for investment purposes only and
not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution"
thereof in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
(b) Purchaser understands that the issuance of the Securities to Purchaser has
not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific
exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of its investment intent as expressed herein.
(c) Purchaser further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely
unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption
from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, Purchaser understands that
the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities, other than as
granted to investors in the Company generally as set forth in the Fourth Amended
and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated as of June 30, 1999, as amended to
date and as further modified by a Consent and Amendment of Investors Rights
Agreement dated on or about the date of this Warrant and as may be subsequently
amended. In addition, Purchaser understands that, unless the Securities have
been registered under the Securities Act, the certificate evidencing the
Securities will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits the transfer of the
Securities unless and until such time that the Securities are sold pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or unless the
Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to it stating that
such sale or transfer is exempt from registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act.
(d) Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the
Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted
securities" acquired, directly or
-2-
indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions. In particular, the Securities may be resold
in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which
requires among other things: (1) the availability of certain public information
about the Company, (2) the resale occurring not less than one year after the
party has purchased, and made full payment for, within the meaning of Rule 144,
the securities to be sold; and, in the case of an affiliate, or of a
non-affiliate who has held the securities not less than two years, (3) the sale
being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and (4) the amount of securities being sold
during any three month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated
therein, if applicable.
(e) Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities
Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be
required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that the exemption provided by Rule
144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that
persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a
registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a
substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration
is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their
respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
