4.11 Effect of Ceasing to Be Subsidiary. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the covenants in Sections 4.8 and 4.9 will apply to a Subsidiary (as grantee) only with respect to the period when such entity meets the requirements for being a "Subsidiary" and will terminate as to activities that occur after such entity ceases to be a Subsidiary, but (b) an entity's ceasing to be a Subsidiary will not affect the covenants granted under this Agreement with respect to the Covenant Patents of such entity, which such covenants will remain in effect subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to the remaining term of the 8-year period even after such entity ceases to be a Subsidiary.

6.8 Representations of Juniper. Juniper hereby represents and warrants with respect to the Shares and the Warrant as follows:

6.8.1. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shares and the Warrant are issued to Juniper in reliance upon Juniper's representation to PAN that the Shares and the Warrant will be acquired for Juniper's, or its Affiliate's, own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof other than to an Affiliate.

6.8.2. Reliance upon Juniper's Representations. Juniper understands that the Shares and the Warrant are not registered under the Securities Act on the basis that the issuance of such securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that any reliance by PAN on Section 4(a)(2) is predicated on Juniper's representations set forth herein.

6.8.3. Accredited Investor Status. Juniper represents to PAN that Juniper is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Securities Act).

6.8.4. Restricted Securities. Juniper understands and agrees that the Shares and the Warrant are "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from PAN in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such federal securities laws and applicable regulations, such securities may not be resold without an effective registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from the registration requirements to the Securities Act.

6.8.5. Legends. Juniper understands and agrees that the Shares and the Warrant shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

ARTICLE VII.     REGISTRATION

7.1 Registration on Form S-3. PAN shall file pursuant to paragraph I.D of the General Instructions relating to automatic shelf offerings by well-known seasoned issuers, a registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act registering the resale of the Settlement Securities no later than the later of (i) June 10, 2014 or (ii) three (3) business days following the Stipulation Date (but in any event no sooner than the date on which the Warrant is issued). PAN shall:

7.1.1. keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which all of the Settlement Securities included in the Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) such time as Juniper is eligible to sell the Settlement Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without regard to any of the restrictions described in such rule that would impact Juniper's ability to sell such Settlement Securities pursuant to such rule;

7.1.2. prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement, the prospectus and, if required, any Free Writing Prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement;

All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to this Article VII, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for PAN shall be borne and paid by PAN.

7.3 Indemnification.

7.3.1. To the extent permitted by law, PAN will indemnify and hold harmless Juniper, and its officers, directors, legal counsel and accountants ("Juniper Indemnified Persons"), against any Damages, and PAN will pay to each Juniper Indemnified Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of PAN, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, nor shall PAN be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon a Violation which occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to PAN by Juniper regarding Juniper's name, the shares of PAN beneficially held by Juniper, and the number of shares to be registered and reflected in the registration statement and expressly stated to be for use in such registration. "Damages" means any loss, damage, or liability (joint or several) to which a Juniper Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or other federal or state law, insofar as such loss, damage, or liability (or any action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon any of the following (collectively, a "Violation"): (a) any untrue statement or


- 10 -


alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement of PAN, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (b) an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (c) any violation or alleged violation by PAN (or any of its agents or affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law.

7.3.2. To the extent permitted by law, Juniper will indemnify and hold harmless PAN, and its officers, directors, legal counsel and accountants ("PAN Indemnified Persons"), against any Damages, and Juniper will pay to each PAN Indemnified Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigation or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Violation occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to PAN by Juniper regarding Juniper's name, the shares of PAN beneficially held by Juniper, and the number of shares to be registered and reflected in the registration statement and expressly stated to be for use in such registration; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of Juniper, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 7.3.2 exceed the proceeds from the sale by Juniper of the Settlement Securities under such registration statement.

7.3.3. Promptly after receipt by a Juniper Indemnified Person or a PAN Indemnified Person (each an "Indemnified Person") under this Section 7.3 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3.3 give such indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such Indemnified Person by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to an indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7.3.3 solely to the extent that such failure prejudices such indemnifying party's ability to defend such action. The obligations of the parties under this Section 7.3.3 shall survive the completion of any offering of Settlement Securities in a registration under this Agreement, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


- 11 -


7.3.4. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Damages referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violations that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by Juniper under this Subsection 7.3.4 exceed the proceeds from the sale by Juniper of the settlement securities under the registration statement. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

7.4 Reports under the Exchange Act. For so long as Juniper holds Settlement Securities (or until it can freely sell all such shares under Rule 144) PAN shall:

7.4.1. use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144; and

7.4.2. use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of PAN under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

7.5 Sales of Settlement Securities under the Registration Statement. Juniper agrees not to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Settlement Securities under the Registration Statement during any trading "blackout" period under PAN's Insider Trading Policy; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to sales of Settlement Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or any other exemption.

7.6 Suspensions of Sales of Settlement Securities under the Registration Statement. At any time from and after the effective date of the Registration Statement, PAN may restrict offers and sales or other dispositions of the Settlement Securities under the Registration Statement, and Juniper will not be able to offer or sell or otherwise dispose of the Settlement Securities thereunder, by delivering a written notice (a "Suspension Notice") to Juniper stating that a delay in the offer and sale or other disposition of the Settlement Securities is necessary because PAN, in its reasonable good faith judgment, has determined that the offer and sale or other disposition of the Settlement Securities would require public disclosure by PAN of material nonpublic information that is not included in the Registration Statement and that immediate disclosure of such information would be materially detrimental to PAN; provided, however, that PAN may not suspend offers and sales or other dispositions of the Settlement Securities pursuant to this Section 7.6 for more than thirty (30) days each time and for more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate. Promptly following the


- 12 -


cessation or discontinuance of the facts and circumstances forming the basis for any Suspension Notice, PAN shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Registration Statement and/or amend or supplement the related prospectus included therein to the extent necessary, and take all other actions reasonably necessary, to allow the offer and sale or other disposition of the Settlement Securities to recommence as promptly as possible, and promptly notify Juniper in writing when such offers and sales or other dispositions of the Settlement Securities under the Registration Statement may recommence. Upon receipt of a Suspension Notice, Juniper shall immediately suspend their use of the Registration Statement and any prospectus included therein or forming a part thereof to offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the Settlement Securities, and shall not offer or sell or otherwise dispose of the Settlement Securities under the Registration Statement or any prospectus included therein or forming a part thereof until receipt of a notice from PAN pursuant to the preceding sentence that offers and sales or other dispositions of the Settlement Securities may recommence. Juniper shall keep the fact that PAN has delivered a Suspension Notice and any non-public information provided by PAN in connection therewith confidential, shall not disclose or reveal the Suspension Notice or any such information to any person or entity and shall not use such information for securities trading or any other purpose.

ARTICLE VIII.     MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 No Admissions. Neither the entering of this Agreement, nor any provision provided for herein, shall be deemed as an admission or indication by any Party of any fact, valuation, royalty, wrongdoing, liability, infringement, or non-infringement, or of the validity or invalidity or the scope of any of the patents asserted in the Court Proceedings or any other patents to which this Agreement applies (and neither Party nor any of its Subsidiaries will, in any litigation or other proceeding, take any position inconsistent with the foregoing or use this Agreement or any part provision hereof in a manner inconsistent with the foregoing).

8.2 No Implied Rights; Enforcement of Patents. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither Party nor any third party shall acquire hereunder any right, title or interest in any of the Juniper Patents or PAN Patents, or in any intellectual property owned or controlled by Juniper or PAN. The releases, covenants not to sue and licenses granted hereunder do not transfer to any Party the right to institute any action against any third party for infringement of the Juniper Patents or PAN Patents.

8.3 No Rescission. The Parties hereby waive any claim or right to rescission of, or any attempt to rescind, this Agreement, whether such claim or right arises out of contract, law or equity, and further without regard to the alleged basis of such claim or right.

8.4 Limitation of Liability. The Parties shall not be liable to the other Parties or any other person or entity (under contract, strict liability, negligence, or other theory) for special, indirect, exemplary, incidental, or consequential damages, including ANY SUCH DAMAGES BASED ON lost profits, opportunities or savings, arising out of or related to the subject matter of this Agreement, even if advised of the possibility of the foregoing.


- 13 -


8.5 Choice of Law. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, applied and governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of California, without giving any effect to the rules relating to choice or conflict of laws. Any dispute, litigation, arbitration or other proceedings between the Parties arising out of or related to this Agreement shall take place in the County of Santa Clara, California.

8.6 Assignment of Agreement. This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which may be withheld for any reason or no reason), except that either Party may assign this Agreement to a successor in connection with the merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or of that portion of its business pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement with prompt written notice to the other Party of any such assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective lawful successors and assigns in accordance with its terms.

8.7 Assignment of Patents. The licenses and covenants in Article III and Sections 4.8 and 4.9 are intended to (and will) "run" with the Juniper Patents, PAN Patents and Covenant Patents and will apply to and be binding on any assignees, exclusive licensees or other transferees of the patents. For avoidance of doubt, the transferring party will require that any direct or indirect assignee, exclusive licensee or other transferee agree to be bound by such licenses and covenants and related immunities and will indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its Subsidiaries against any damages, costs and other liabilities (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the other party and its Subsidiaries that result from any failure to cause such licenses and covenants to be so binding.

8.8 Compliance With Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act contrary to law, and wherever there is any conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any statute, law, ordinance or treaty, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the affected provisions of the Agreement shall be conformed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within the applicable legal requirements.

8.9 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement to preserve (to the extent possible) their original intent.

8.10 Use of Names, Publicity. Neither Party shall have the right to use in advertising, publicity or other promotional activities any name, trade name, trademark or other designation of the other Party (except to the extent such use would be permitted by applicable law in the absence of an agreement between the Parties).

8.11 No Partnership. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, agency, employer-employee, fiduciary or joint venture relationship between the Parties. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this


- 14 -


Agreement, neither Party shall at any time enter into, incur, or hold itself out to third parties as having authority to enter into or incur, on behalf of the other Party, any commitment, expense, or liability whatsoever.

8.12 Interpretation.

PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C. § 317

Case IPR2013-00369   

U.S. Patent No. 7,107,612

Inter Partes Review


Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), Palo Alto Networks, Inc. ("Petitioner") and Juniper Networks, Inc. ("Patent Owner") jointly move for termination of inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 7,107,612, Case No. IPR2013-00369, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

"An inter partes review instituted under this chapter shall be terminated with respect to any petitioner upon the joint request of the petitioner and the patent owner, unless the Office has decided the merits of the proceeding before the request for termination is filed." 35 U.S.C. 317(a) (emphasis added).

To date, the Office has not decided the merits of this proceeding. Petitioner filed its petition for inter partes review on June 20, 2013. The inter partes review was subsequently instituted, but Petitioner has yet to submit its reply brief in opposition to Patent Owner's response. Nor has Petitioner yet responded to Patent Owner's motion to amend the claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,107,612. The oral hearing is not scheduled to take place until August 19, 2014.

The parties have now settled their dispute, and have reached agreement to terminate this inter partes review. The Settlement Agreement is in writing, and a true copy shall be filed with the Office.

The Settlement Agreement finally resolves outstanding litigation between the parties involving the '612 patent. There are no other parties to that litigation,

and no other pending litigation proceedings involving the '612 patent. Moreover, Petitioner does not intend to participate further in this inter partes review proceeding regardless of the outcome of this joint motion. That means Petitioner will file no reply to Juniper's Patent Owner Response and will file no opposition to Juniper's Motion to Amend Claims. Nor will Petitioner complete any cross examination of Juniper's expert witness Dr. Jim Jansen. Petitioner and Patent Owner understand that no estoppel under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e) shall attach to Petitioner pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a).

Accordingly, in light of the facts set forth above and the relatively early stage of this proceeding, the parties jointly request that the Office terminate this inter partes review in its entirety as to both Petitioner and Patent Owner. See Oracle Corp. v. Clouding IP, LLC, Case IPR2013-00073, Paper 21 (July 22, 2013) (terminating inter partes review proceeding at similar stage with respect to both petitioner and patent owner).

Patent No. 7,734,752

Issue Date: June 8, 2010

Title: INTELLIGENT INTEGRATED NETWORK SECURITY DEVICE

Inter Partes Review No. IPR2013-00466



PALO ALTO NETWORKS, INC.'S AND JUNIPER NETWORKS, INC.'S

JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE PROCEEDING

PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C. § 317


1


Case IPR2013-00466   

U.S. Patent No. 7,734,752

Inter Partes Review


Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), Palo Alto Networks, Inc. ("Petitioner") and Juniper Networks, Inc. ("Patent Owner") jointly move for termination of inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 7,734,752, Case No. IPR2013-00466, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

"An inter partes review instituted under this chapter shall be terminated with respect to any petitioner upon the joint request of the petitioner and the patent owner, unless the Office has decided the merits of the proceeding before the request for termination is filed." 35 U.S.C. 317(a) (emphasis added).

To date, the Office has not decided the merits of this proceeding. Petitioner filed its petition for inter partes review on July 23, 2013. The inter partes review was subsequently instituted, but Petitioner has yet to submit its reply brief in opposition to Patent Owner's response. The oral hearing is not scheduled to take place until September 23, 2014.

The parties have settled their dispute, and have reached agreement to terminate this inter partes review. The Settlement Agreement is in writing, and a true copy shall be filed with the Office.

The Settlement Agreement finally resolves outstanding litigation between the parties involving the '752 patent. There are no other parties to that litigation, and no other pending litigation proceedings involving the '752 patent. Moreover,

Inter Partes Review


Petitioner does not intend to participate further in this inter partes review proceeding regardless of the outcome of this joint motion. That means Petitioner will file no reply to Juniper's Patent Owner Response. Nor will Petitioner complete any cross examination of Juniper's expert witness Dr. Kevin Almeroth.

Petitioner and Patent Owner understand that no estoppel under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e) shall attach to Petitioner pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a).

Accordingly, in light of the facts set forth above and the relatively early stage of this proceeding, the parties jointly request that the Office terminate this inter partes review in its entirety as to both Petitioner and Patent Owner.

EXHIBIT D

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, EXCEPT AND PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 5 BELOW, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK


  Corporation:    PALO ALTO NETWORKS, INC.,   
     a Delaware corporation   
  Number of Shares:    463,177 shares   
  Class of Stock:    Common Stock   
  Warrant Price:    $0.0001 per share   
  Issue Date:    May [—], 2014   
  Expiration Date:    December [—], 2014   

THIS WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK (THIS "WARRANT") CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Juniper Networks, Inc., a Delaware, or its assignee ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the "Shares") of PALO ALTO NETWORKS, INC. (the "Company") at the Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1

EXERCISE

1.1 Method of Exercise.

1.1.1 Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part at any time prior to the Expiration Date, by delivering this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix I to the principal office of the Company (or such other appropriate location as Holder is so instructed by the Company).

1.1.2 Upon exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall receive a number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:


  X      =      

Y (A – B)

  
        A   

Where:


  X    =    The number of Shares to be issued to Holder
  Y    =    The number of Shares being exercised under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
  A    =    The fair market value of one Share (at the date of such calculation)
  B    =    The Warrant Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)


1.2 Calculation of FMV. For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Share shall be the volume-weighted sales price per share rounded to four decimal places of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the consecutive period of five (5) business days beginning at 9:30am New York time on the fifth (5th) business day immediately preceding the date of such calculation and concluding at 4:00 p.m. New York time on the first (1st) business day immediately preceding the date of such calculation, as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP under the function "VWAP" for the Bloomberg security "PANW US Equity."

1.3 Automatic Exercise. If the Holder has not elected to exercise this Warrant prior to the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall automatically (without any act on the part of the Holder) be exercised pursuant to Section 1.1.2 effective immediately prior to the expiration of the Warrant to the extent such net issue exercise would result in the issuance of Shares, unless Holder shall earlier provide written notice to the Company that the Holder desires that this Warrant expire unexercised. If this Warrant is automatically exercised, the Company shall notify the Holder of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.

1.4 Delivery of Shares and New Warrant. Within two (2) business days after Holder exercises this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder the Shares so acquired, provided that such Shares shall be deemed delivered upon the Company's delivery of evidence of a book-entry or similar position through The Depository Trust & Closing Corporation or any other depository or similar functionary, credited to an account for the benefit of Holder. If this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired shall be issued to Holder.

1.5 Replacement of Warrant. In the case of loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

ARTICLE 2

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN EVENTS

2.1 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, of a full Share.

2.2 Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 5.1, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Warrant Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:

2.2.1 Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a "Reorganization") involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein) in which shares of the Company's stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.


2


2.2.2 Reclassification of Shares. If the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes by reclassification, capital reorganization or otherwise (other than as otherwise provided for herein) (a "Reclassification"), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of Shares which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that a holder of the number of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such Reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.

2.2.3 Subdivisions and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.

2.2.4 Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 2.2, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Warrant Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments, (ii) the Warrant Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon exercise of this Warrant.

2.3 Notification of Certain Events. Prior to the Expiration Date, in the event that the Company shall authorize:

2.3.1 the issuance of any dividend or other distribution on the capital stock of the Company (other than (i) dividends or distributions otherwise provided for in Section 2.2.4, or (ii) any repurchases of common stock of the Company), whether in cash, property, stock or other securities; or

2.3.2 the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company

the Company shall send to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for any such dividend or distribution specified in clause 2.3.1 or the expected effective date of any such other event specified in clause 2.3.2. The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent of the Holder.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.

3.2 Reservation of Stock. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder that sufficient shares of the Company's Common Stock have been reserved and are available for issuance from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, and such shares will remain available at all times until the date this Warrant has been exercised in full or, if earlier, the Expiration Date.


3


ARTICLE 4

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF HOLDER

With respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and any of the Shares, Holder hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:

4.1 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Warrant is issued to Holder in reliance upon Holder's representation to the Company that this Warrant and the Shares will be acquired for investment for Holder's, or its affiliate's, own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof other than to an affiliate, and that Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same other than to an affiliate. By executing this Warrant, Holder further represents that Holder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person, other than an affiliate, to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person with respect to any of the Shares.

4.2 Reliance upon Holder's Representations. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares are not registered under the Act on the ground that the issuance of such securities is exempt from registration under the Act, and that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on Holder's representations set forth herein.

4.3 Accredited Investor Status. Holder represents to the Company that Holder is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Act).

4.4 Restricted Securities. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares are "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such federal securities laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

ARTICLE 5

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Term; Exercise Upon Expiration. This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date set forth above. The Company agrees that Holder may terminate this Warrant, upon notice to the Company, at any time in its sole discretion.

5.3 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without (i) compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee, and (ii) if requested by Company, an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Company, to the effect that such transfer or assignment is in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with the restrictions in this Section 5.3.


4


5.4 Transfer Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 and the prior written consent of the Company, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant to its affiliates, and such affiliate shall then be entitled to all the rights and bound by all of the obligations of Holder under this Warrant and any related agreements, and the Company shall cooperate fully in ensuring that any stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant is issued in the name of the affiliate that exercises this Warrant. The terms and conditions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holder hereof and its respective permitted successors and assigns. Any transferee shall be bound by the obligations and restrictions of this Warrant as if the original holder hereof.
