The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice (or, following, the Company's initial public offering, within five (5) days of receipt of such notice) and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible thereafter. 2.2 Automatic Exercise.

The Conversion Right may be exercised by the holder by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of the holder's intention to exercise the Conversion Right, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of the Company's Preferred Stock computed using the following formula: X = Y (A-B) -------- A Where: X = The number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the holder. Y = The number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable under this Warrant subject to the exercise election. A = The fair market value of one share of the Company's Preferred Stock. B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations). (b) For purposes of this Section 2.3, the "fair market value" per share of the Company's Preferred Stock shall mean: (i) If the Conversion Right is exercised in connection with and contingent upon the Company's initial public offering, and if the Company's registration statement relating to such offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering; or (ii) If the Conversion Right is not exercised in connection with and contingent upon the Company's initial public offering, then as follows: (A) If the Preferred Stock is traded on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, or is listed on the Nasdaq National Market (the "National Market System"), the fair market value shall be the average of the last reported sale prices of the Preferred Stock on such exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market on the last ten (10) trading days (or all such trading days such Preferred Stock has been traded if fewer than 10 trading days) before the effective date of exercise of the Conversion Right or if no such sale is 3 <PAGE> made on any such day, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market; (B) If the Preferred Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the fair market value shall be the average of the means of the last bid and asked prices reported on the last ten (10) trading days (or all such trading days such Preferred Stock has been traded if fewer than 10 trading days) before the date of the election (1) by the Nasdaq Stock Market or (2) if reports are unavailable under clause (1) above, by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated; and (C) If the Preferred Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and ask prices are not reported, the fair market value shall be the price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued shares, as such price shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and the holder of this Warrant. 3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares that may be issued --------------------------------------- upon the exercise of this Warrant, and all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
