WARRANT AGREEMENT
To Purchase Shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of
TiVo Inc.
Dated as of February 12, 1998 (the "Effective Date")
WHEREAS, TiVo Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") has entered
into a Master Lease Agreement dated as of February 12, 1999, Equipment Schedule
No. VL-1 and VL-2 dated as of February 12, 1999, and related Summary Equipment
Schedules (collectively, the "Leases") with Comdisco, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Warrantholder"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Warrantholder, in
consideration for such Leases, the right to purchase shares of its Series B
Preferred Stock;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and
delivering such Leases and in consideration of mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK.
----------------------------------------------
The Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,
to subscribe to and purchase, from the Company, 60,813 fully paid and non-
assessable shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock")
at a purchase price of $1.26 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number and
purchase price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8
hereof.
2. TERM OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.
-----------------------------
Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant
Agreement and the right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted herein shall
commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period of (i) ten
(10) years or (ii) upon the effective date of the Company's Initial Public
Offering (as defined below), whichever is earlier.
The right to purchase Preferred Stock as set forth above shall expire,
if not previously exercised, immediately upon the closing of the issuance and
sale of shares of Common Stock of the Company in the Company's first public
offering of securities for its own account pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Initial Public
Offering"), provided however that the Preferred Stock issued to the
Warrantholder upon exercise of the Warrant Agreement shall have all the
identical rights, preferences and privileges of the Company's other outstanding
Preferred Stock.
The Company shall notify the Warrantholder if the Initial Public
Offering is proposed within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing of a
registration statement and if the Company fails to deliver such written notice
within a reasonable period of time, anything to the contrary in this Warrant
Agreement notwithstanding, the rights to purchase will not expire until ten (10)
business days after the Company delivers such notice to the Warrantholder. Such
notice shall also contain such details of the proposed Initial Public Offering
as are reasonable in the circumstances and notice that this Warrant Agreement is
expected to expire upon closing thereof. If such closing does not take place,
the Company shall promptly notify the Warrantholder that such proposed
transaction has been terminated. Anything to the contrary in this Warrant
Agreement notwithstanding, the Warrantholder may rescind any exercise of its
purchase rights promptly after such notice of termination of the proposed
transaction if the exercise of warrants occurred after the Company notified the
Warrantholder that the Initial Public Offering was proposed or if the exercise
were otherwise precipitated by
-1-
<PAGE>
such proposed Initial Public Offering. In the event of such rescission, the
Warrants will continue to be exercisable on the same terms and conditions.
3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.
-------------------------------
The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant Agreement are
exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time
to time, prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 above, by
tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and
executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of
the purchase price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event
later than twenty-one (21) days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the
Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit II (the "Acknowledgment of Exercise") indicating the number of
shares which remain subject to future purchases, if any.
The Exercise Price may be paid at the Warrantholder's election either
(i) by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of Warrants ("Net Issuance") as
determined below. If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the
Company will issue Preferred Stock in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
------
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to
the Warrantholder.
Y = the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested to be
exercised under this Warrant Agreement.
A = the fair market value of one (1) share of Preferred
Stock.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of
Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Preferred Stock:
(i) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public
offering of the Company's Common Stock, and if the Company's
Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been
declared effective by the SEC, then the fair market value per share
shall be the product of (x) the initial "Price to Public" specified in
the final prospectus with respect to the offering and (y) the number
of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is
convertible at the time of such exercise;
(ii) if this Warrant is not exercised in connection with the
initial public offering of Company's Common Stock, then
the highest of the following: (x) the price per share of the
Company's Preferred Stock as determined by an independent valuation
firm chosen by the Company's Board of Directors and acceptable to
Warrantholder and (y) the price per share of the Preferred Stock as
determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith, unless
the Company shall become subject to a merger, acquisition or other
consolidation pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving
party, in which case the fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be
deemed to be the value received by the holders of the Company's
Preferred Stock on a common equivalent basis pursuant to such merger
or acquisition.
Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company
shall promptly issue an amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining
number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such
amended Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein,
including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.
4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
---------------------
(a) Authorization and Reservation of Shares. During the term of this
---------------------------------------
Warrant Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise
of the rights to purchase Preferred Stock as provided for herein.
-2-
<PAGE>
(b) Registration or Listing. If any shares of Preferred Stock
-----------------------
required to be reserved hereunder require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or State law (other than any
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), as then
in effect, or any similar Federal statute then enforced, or any state securities
law, required by reason of any transfer involved in such conversion), or listing
on any domestic securities exchange, before such shares may be issued upon
conversion, the Company will, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible,
use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered, listed or
approved for listing on such domestic securities exchange, as the case may be.
5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.
-----------------------------
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise
Price then in effect.
6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.
------------------------
This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any
voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise of the Warrant.
7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.
----------------------
The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of
the registered holder of this Warrant Agreement.
8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.
-----------------
The purchase price per share and the number of shares of Preferred
Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:
(a) Merger and Sale of Assets. If at any time there shall be a
-------------------------
capital reorganization of the shares of the Company's stock (other than a
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise
provided for herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation, or
the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to
any other person (hereinafter referred to as a "Merger Event"), then, as a part
of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder
shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the
number of shares of preferred stock or other securities of the successor
corporation resulting from such Merger Event, equivalent in value to that which
would have been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in
the application of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the
rights and interest of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that
the provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise
Price and number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable
to the greatest extent possible.
(b) Reclassification of Shares. If the Company at any time shall, by
--------------------------
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or
otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this
Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any
other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the
right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable
as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject
to the purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such
combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time
------------------------------------
shall combine or subdivide its Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately
increased in the case of a combination.
(d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time shall pay a dividend
---------------
payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution specifically
provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) or (b)) of the Company's stock,
then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the record date of
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (i)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of all shares of the Company's
stock outstanding immediately prior
-3-
<PAGE>
to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the
total number of all shares of the Company's stock outstanding immediately after
such dividend or distribution. The Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of
shares of Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(e) Right to Purchase Additional Stock. If, the Warrantholder's
----------------------------------
total cost of equipment leased pursuant to the Leases exceeds $2,500,000
Warrantholder shall have the right to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise
Price (adjusted as set forth herein), an additional number of shares, which
number shall be determined by (i) multiplying the amount by which the
Warrantholder's total equipment cost exceeds $2,500,000 by 3.065% and (ii)
dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price per share referenced above.
(f) Antidilution Rights. Additional antidilution rights applicable
-------------------
to the Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the Effective Date, a true and
complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit IV (the "Charter"). The
--
Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with any restatement,
amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter. The Company shall provide
Warrantholder with prior written notice of any issuance of its stock or other
equity security to occur after the Effective Date of this Warrant, which notice
shall include (a) the price at which such stock or security is to be sold, (b)
the number of shares to be issued, and (c) such other information as necessary
for Warrantholder to determine if a dilutive event has occurred.
(g) Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the Company shall declare any
---------------------
dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash, property, stock or
other securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription prorata to the
holders of any class of its Preferred or other convertible stock any additional
shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any Merger
Event; (iv) there shall be an initial public offering; or (v) there shall be any
voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in
connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder:
(A) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the
books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution, subscription rights (specifying the date on which the holders of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in
respect of such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; (B) in the
case of any such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least
twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and
(C) in the case of a public offering, the Company shall give the Warrantholder
at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to the effective date thereof.
Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i)
the event requiring the adjustment, (ii) the amount of the adjustment, (iii) the
method by which such adjustment was calculated, (iv) the Exercise Price, and (v)
the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to the Warrantholder, at the address as shown on the books of the Company.
(h) Timely Notice. Failure to timely provide such notice required by
-------------
subsection (g) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the
applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. The notice period shall begin
on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice containing all the
information specified above.
9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a) Reservation of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock issuable
------------------------------
upon exercise of the Warrantholder's rights has been duly and validly reserved

complete copies of its Charter and Bylaws, as amended. The issuance of
certificates for shares of Preferred Stock upon exercise of the Warrant
Agreement shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issuance tax

such exercise and the related issuance of shares of Preferred Stock. The Company
shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved and the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name
other than that of the Warrantholder.

10. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.
--------------------------------------------------
-5-
<PAGE>
This Warrant Agreement has been entered into by the Company in
reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:
(a) Investment Purpose. The right to acquire Preferred Stock or the
------------------
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder's rights contained
herein will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or
distribution of any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no present intention
of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to
a registration or exemption.
(b) Private Issue. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the
-------------
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not registered under
the 1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground
that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant Agreement will be exempt from the
registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the
Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set
forth in this Section 10.
(c) Disposition of Warrantholder's Rights. In no event will the
-------------------------------------
Warrantholder make a disposition of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock
or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights unless and until (i) it
shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
requested by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
counsel (which counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to the
Warrantholder) satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that
(A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has been
taken, or (B) an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is
available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the
transferability of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or Preferred
Stock issuable on the exercise of such rights do not apply to transfers from the
beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from
such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular
share of Preferred Stock when (1) such security shall have been effectively
registered under the 1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with
such registration or (2) such security shall have been sold without registration
in compliance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been
issued to the Warrantholder at its request by the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Warrantholder at
its request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by
such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is
transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the
conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling
specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever
the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the
Warrantholder or holder of a share of Preferred Stock then outstanding as to
which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the
Warrant or for such shares of Preferred Stock not bearing any restrictive
legend.
(d) Financial Risk. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and
--------------
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic
risks of its investment.
(e) Risk of No Registration. The Warrantholder understands that if
-----------------------
the Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act"), or file reports
pursuant to Section 15(d), of the 1934 Act", or if a registration statement
covering the securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it desires to
sell (i) the rights to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this Warrant
Agreement, or (ii) the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to
purchase, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period.
The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of its rights of the
Warrantholder to purchase Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock which might be made
by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in
accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.
(f) Accredited Investor. Warrantholder is an "accredited investor"
-------------------
within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of Regulation D, as
presently in effect.
11. REQUESTS FOR REGISTRATION
-------------------------
Warrantholder and Company agree that all shares of Preferred Stock
subject to the Warrant Agreement shall have the same registration rights and be
subject to the same terms and conditions with respect to the registration and
sale of such stock as possessed by the Series B Shareholders as provided for in
the Rights Agreement, by and among the Company and those certain Purchasers
identified therein, attached hereto as Exhibit V.
12. TRANSFERS.
