EXHIBIT A
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of September 6, 2001 by and between Digital Power Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company") and Telkoor Telecom Ltd., a limited liability corporation formed under the laws of Israel, or any subsidiary thereof (the "Purchaser").
WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell shares of its common stock, no par value and warrants to purchase shares of common stock to the Purchaser who is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, or who is not a U.S. person as that term is defined under Regulation S, promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") upon the terms and conditions contained herein; and
WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASES
1.1 Purchase of Common Stock and Warrants. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser, 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") and (i) 900,000 warrants, each warrant granting the holder thereof the right to purchase one share of common stock for One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25) per share; and (ii) 1,000,000 warrants, each warrant granting the holder thereof the right to purchase one share of common stock for One Dollar and Fifty Cents ($1.50) per share (the "Warrants"). The forms of Warrants are attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit 1.1(i) and Exhibit 1.1(ii). Collectively, the Common Stock and Warrants are referred to as the Securities.
1.2 Consideration. In consideration of the purchase in Section 1.1, the Purchaser hereby agrees to pay to the Company One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) (the "Consideration"). Reference to dollars in this Agreement shall mean United States dollars.
1.3 Calculation of Net Tangible Assets. The Company shall provide the amount of its Net Tangible Assets in a Report to the Purchaser. For the purposes of this Section 1.3, the term "Net Tangible Assets" shall be calculated by subtracting total liabilities from total assets, net of reserves, of the Company, excluding any and all intangible assets and write-back of reserves which have been previously written off. "Report" shall mean, for purposes of this Section 1.3, the Company's financial statements for the two-month period ended August 31, 2001 prepared in accordance with United States GAAP. These financial statements shall be reviewed by the Company's independent accountants under the same procedure as if the Company was filing its periodic quarterly reports with the SEC. However, in no circumstance shall the independent accountant be required to issue a report.
If the Purchaser disputes the Company's calculation of Net Tangible Assets
and believes the Purchaser has the right to terminate the Agreement under
Section 8.1(a) by reason of Section 2.12 (q), the Purchaser shall deliver to the
Company a written notice describing such objections within five (5) business
days after receiving the Report. The parties to this Agreement will use their
reasonable best efforts to engage in good faith negotiations to resolve any such
objections promptly after receipt by the Company of such Notice.
If a final resolution is not obtained promptly after the Company first receives the Notice, the Purchaser may submit the parties' disagreement to a "Big Five" accounting firm, excluding Arthur Andersen & Co. (the "Independent Third Party") for resolution. The Independent Third Party, upon review of the Report and consideration of the objection set forth in the Notice, shall resolve any such remaining objectives and revise the Report, determine the Tangible Net Assets (if any) and communicate the foregoing to the Company and the Purchaser in writing not later than fourteen (14) days following the submission of dispute to the Independent Third Party (unless both parties to this Agreement agree to provide the Independent Third Party with additional time to make its determination).
The determinations of the Independent Third Party shall for all purposes be
conclusive, final and non-appealable, shall not be subject to arbitration under
Section 10.2(b) or to any judicial review under any circumstances and shall be
binding upon the Company and the Purchaser. The fees and expenses of the
Independent Third Party incurred in the resolution of such objectives shall be
incurred equally by the Company and the Purchaser.
The Company shall provide the Independent Third Party full access to the books and records, any other information, including work papers of its accountants, and to any employees of the Company to the extent necessary for the preparation of all financial statements referred to therein.
1.4 Wire Transfer Instructions. The Consideration provided for in Section 1.2 above will be delivered to the Company by the Purchaser via wire transfer upon written instruction to be delivered to the Purchaser by the Company.
1.5 Closing Date. The Closing Date shall be ten (10) business days after the Company delivers the Report to the Purchaser.
1.6 Advance Payment. Within twenty-four (24) hours of executing this Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the "Advance Payment") to be used only for the reduction of workforce at the Guadalajara, Mexico facility of the Company's subsidiary Poder Digital S.A. de C.V. On the Closing Date, the Advance Payment shall be applied to the Consideration in Section 1.2 without interest. If there is no closing and this Agreement is terminated, the Purchaser may, at its option, (i) convert all or part of the Advance Payment into shares of common stock of the Company at One Dollar ($1.00) per share, or (ii) require the Company to repay the Advance Payment without interest within five (5) business days of demand.
1.7 Delivery of Shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver, (i) against payment therefore, certificates representing the shares of Common Stock and the Warrants and (ii) all other documents required to be delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement. The shares of Common Stock and Warrants will be duly authorized and issued to the Purchaser. The certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock and Warrants as delivered to the Purchaser will be in due and proper legal form.

2.6 Compliance With Law. To the best of its knowledge, the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the governmental laws, environmental laws, safety laws, codes, orders, rules, regulations and requirements applicable to its business and conditions of employment, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, properties or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries have obtained all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders, contracts and approvals from Federal, state, local and foreign governmental and regulatory bodies which are material, singularly or in the aggregate, to the operation of its business (collectively, the "Permits" and each individually, a "Permit").

Neither the Agreement nor the SEC Reports, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the best of the Company's knowledge, it is not currently under investigation by the SEC, AMEX or other governmental authority.

7.1 Indemnification of the Purchaser. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser, its directors and officers and each person who control the Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses caused, by arising out of or directly or indirectly relating to (i) any inaccuracy in or any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained in the Agreement and all Schedules and Exhibits thereto; or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus filed pursuant to Section 6 hereof or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use in such registration statement or prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the indemnification amount (i) in cash; (ii) by issuance of additional shares of common stock of the Company in the amount (based on the price per share of $1.00) equivalent to the indemnification amount (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors), which shares shall be issued to the Purchaser by the Company for no consideration; or (iii) any combination of cash and shares, provided all such issuances of shares are in compliance with federal securities laws.
7.2 Indemnification of the Company. The Purchaser agrees to furnish to the
Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably
requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus and
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the

representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the Purchaser
contained in this Agreement; or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus filed pursuant to
Section 6 hereof or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but
only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is
contained or omitted in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by
the Purchaser, and in no event will the Purchaser be obligated to indemnify the
Company, its directors, officers or any person who controls the Company in an
amount in excess of the proceeds to be derived from the sale of Registerable
Securities in the offering giving rise to a claim for indemnification.
7.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is judicially determined to be unavailable to an indemnified person in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified person hereunder, each party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expense relating thereto) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
7.4 Defense of Action. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; and (ii) unless in such indemnified
party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

FORM OF 900,000 WARRANTS
DIGITAL POWER CORPORATION,
a California corporation
WARRANT TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Warrant Number [01-01]
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED TO SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO THE SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (ii) RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (iii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE."
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Telkoor Telecom Ltd. and its affiliates, or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as defined in Subsection 1.2 below): (i) up to a maximum of Nine Hundred Thousand (900,000) shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Digital Power Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company"), no par value (the "Shares" and/or the "Common Stock", as applicable). The Shares shall be purchased at the per Share Purchase Price set forth in Subsection 1.1 below, subject to the further provisions of this Warrant. The term "Warrant" as used herein shall mean this warrant instrument and the various rights into which the rights granted under this warrant instrument may be subsequently divided.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
The terms and conditions under which this Warrant may be exercised and the Common Stock subject hereto may be purchased are as follows:
1.1 Share and Warrant Purchase Prices. The Share Purchase Price shall be equal to One Dollar and Twenty Five Cents ($1.25) per Share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4, below, and this Section 1 (the "Share Purchase Price"). References to dollars in this Warrant means United States dollars.
1.2 Method of Exercise. The Holder of this Warrant, from time to time until 5:00 p.m. (PST), sixty (60) calendar days after the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Exercise Period"), may exercise in whole or in part the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of Subscription attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices;
(b) the payment to the Company in U.S. funds, by check or bank draft payable to the Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate Share Purchase Price for the number of Shares which the purchase rights hereunder are being exercised; and
(c) the delivery to the Company, if necessary, to assure compliance with federal and state securities laws, of an instrument executed by the Holder certifying that the Shares are being acquired for the sole account of the Holder and not with a view to any resale or distribution prior to the filing of a registration statement.
1.3 Satisfaction with Requirements of Securities Act of 1933. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 1.2(c) and Section 7, each and every exercise of this Warrant is contingent upon the Company's satisfaction that the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise is exempt from the requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws at the relevant time(s). The Holder of this Warrant agrees to execute any and all documents each deemed necessary by the Company to effect the exercise of this Warrant.
1.4 Issuance of Shares and New Warrant. In the event the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant are exercised in whole or in part, one or more certificates for the purchased Shares shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter to the person exercising such rights. Such Holder shall also be issued at such time a new Warrant representing the number of Shares (if any) for which the purchase rights under this Warrant remain unexercised and continue in force and effect.
2. TRANSFERS.
2.1 Transfers. Subject to Section 7 hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part by the Holder with the same effect as with a negotiable instrument. To transfer rights, the transfer form below must be completed. The transfer shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the several holders one
or more appropriate new forms of Warrant.
2.2 Registered Holder. The Holder agrees that until such time as any transfer pursuant to Subsection 2.1 is recorded on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner; provided that nothing herein affects any requirement that the transfer of any share of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise hereof be subject to securities law compliance.
2.3 Form of New Warrant. All new forms of Warrant issued in connection with transfers of this Warrant shall bear the same date as this Warrant and shall be substantially identical in form and provision to this Warrant except for the number of Shares purchasable thereunder.
3. FRACTIONAL SHARES.
3.1 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock unless the Holder is exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event, the Company shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the Holder the largest aggregate whole number of shares of Common Stock called for thereby upon receipt of the Share Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a sum in cash equal to the remaining fraction of a share of Common Stock, multiplied by its Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 3.2 below) as of the last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are presented for exercise.
3.2 As used herein, the "Market Price Per Share" with respect to any date shall mean the closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be the last sale price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock, on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") or any comparable system, or if the Common Stock is not listed on AMEX, or a comparable system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available, then "Market Price Per Share" shall be equal to the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
4. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS.
4.1 Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, this Warrant shall, after that subdivision or combination, evidence the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable as a result of that
change with respect to the shares of Common Stock that were purchasable under this Warrant immediately before that subdivision or combination. If the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Share Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Share Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
4.2 Reclassification, Exchange, and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), the Holder of this Warrant shall, on its exercise, be entitled to purchase for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the Common Stock that the Holder would have become entitled to purchase but for such change, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to purchase by the Holder on exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change.
4.3 Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations, Or Sale Of Assets. If at any time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company's Common Stock (other than a subdivision, stock split, combination, reclassification, exchange, or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere above), merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the Company's properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified in this Warrant and upon payment of the Share Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which a holder of the Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. 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 with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant after the reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustment of the Share Purchase Price then in effect and number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any Shares or Share Purchase Warrants or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, within thirty (30) days after making such adjustment, give written notice (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the registered Holder of this Warrant at the address of that Holder shown on the Company's books. That notice shall
set forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which the adjustment was calculated and specify the Share Purchase Price then in effect after the adjustment and the increased or decreased number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. When appropriate, that notice may be given in advance and include as part of the notice required under other provisions of this Warrant.
4.4 Common Stock Dividends; Distributions. In the event the Company should at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant fix a record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution (excluding a cash dividend or distribution) payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into or entitling the Holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as the "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such Holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split, or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Share Purchase Price shall be appropriately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.
4.5 Adjustments Of Other Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends), or options or rights not referred to in Subsection 4.4, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Subsection 4.5, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though such Holder was the holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Warrant may be exercised as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.
4.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. In the case of each adjustment or readjustment of the Share Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and record such change on the books of the Company. The Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any change in the Share Purchase Price or the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants pursuant to this Section 4, and the Warrant Certificate issued before such change will represent the Share Purchase Price or the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants as adjusted. The Company may, at any time, make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it deems appropriate and does not affect the substance thereof. Upon written request by the Holder, the Company shall cause a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant. The Company will, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth:
(a) Such adjustments and readjustments;
(b) The Share Purchase Price at the time in effect; and
(c) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the amount, if any, of other property at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant.
4.7 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Exercise. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder of this Warrant, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
5. RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive rights, to vote, or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to its exercise, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) the Company shall declare any dividend payable in any securities upon its shares of Common Stock or make any distribution (other than a regular cash dividend) to the holders of its shares of Common Stock; or
(b) the Company shall offer to the holders of its shares of Common Stock any additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or any right to subscribe for or purchase any thereof; or
(c) a dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, or lease of all or substantially all of its property, assets, and business as an entirety) shall be proposed and action by the Company with respect thereto has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors,
then in any one or more of said events the Company shall give notice in writing of such event to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear on the Company's records at least twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividends, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to publish, mail, or receive such notice or any defect therein or in the publication or mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any action taken
in connection with such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or such proposed dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. Each person or entity in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is to be issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this instrument was surrendered and payment of the Share Purchase Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such stock 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 of Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
6. RESTRICTED SECURITIES.
In order to enable the Company to comply with the Securities Act and applicable state laws, the Company may require the Holder as a condition of the transfer or exercise of this Warrant to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company that the Warrant is being acquired, or in the case of an exercise hereof, that the Shares subject to this Warrant are being acquired, for its own account, for investment only, with no view to the distribution of the same, and that any disposition of all or any portion of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon the due exercise of this Warrant shall not be made, unless and until:
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) The Holder has notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) the Holder has furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel or other evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act and applicable state law.
The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is, and each of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the due exercise hereof will be, restricted securities and that it understands the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock will bear a legend substantially similar to the following:
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED TO SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO THE SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (ii) RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (iii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE."
7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Holder thereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
8. LOSS OR MUTILATION.
Upon receipt by the Company of satisfactory evidence of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant, and (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, upon receipt by the Company of indemnity satisfactory to it, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon receipt of such Warrant and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant representing the right to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock.
9. NOTICES.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing (except as otherwise provided herein) and shall be deemed duly given when received by delivery in person, by facsimile, telex or telegram or by an overnight courier service or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. Mail, certified with postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

4.1 Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, this Warrant shall, after that subdivision or combination, evidence the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable as a result of that change with respect to the shares of Common Stock that were purchasable under this Warrant immediately before that subdivision or combination. If the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Share Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased, and, if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Share Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
4.2 Reclassification, Exchange, and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), the Holder of this Warrant shall, on its exercise, be entitled to purchase for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the Common Stock that the Holder would have become entitled to purchase but for such change, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to purchase by the Holder on exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change.
4.3 Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations, Or Sale Of Assets. If at any time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company's Common Stock (other than a subdivision, stock split, combination, reclassification, exchange, or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere above), merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the Company's properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified in this Warrant and upon payment of the Share Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which a holder of the Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. 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 with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant after the reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustment of the Share Purchase Price then in effect and number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any Shares or Share Purchase Warrants or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, within thirty (30) days after making such adjustment, give written notice (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the registered Holder of this Warrant at the address of that Holder shown on the Company's books. That notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which the adjustment was calculated and specify the Share Purchase Price then in effect after the adjustment and the increased or decreased number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. When appropriate, that notice may be given in advance and include as part of the notice required under other provisions of this Warrant.
4.4 Common Stock Dividends; Distributions. In the event the Company should at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant fix a record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution (excluding a cash dividend or distribution) payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into or entitling the Holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as the "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such Holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split, or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Share Purchase Price shall be appropriately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.
4.5 Adjustments Of Other Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends), or options or rights not referred to in Subsection 4.4, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Subsection 4.5, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though such Holder was the holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Warrant may be exercised as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.
4.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. In the case of each adjustment or readjustment of the Share Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and record such change on the books of the Company. The Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any change in the Share Purchase Price or the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants pursuant to this Section 4, and the Warrant Certificate issued before such change will represent the Share Purchase Price or the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants as adjusted. The Company may, at any time, make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it deems appropriate and does not affect the substance thereof. Upon written request by the Holder, the Company shall cause a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant. The Company will, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth:
(a) Such adjustments and readjustments;
(b) The Share Purchase Price at the time in effect; and
(c) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the amount, if any, of other property at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant.
4.7 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Exercise. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder of this Warrant, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
5. RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive rights, to vote, or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to its exercise, any of the following events shall occur:
(a) the Company shall declare any dividend payable in any securities upon its shares of Common Stock or make any distribution (other than a regular cash dividend) to the holders of its shares of Common Stock; or
(b) the Company shall offer to the holders of its shares of Common Stock any additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or any right to subscribe for or purchase any thereof; or
(c) a dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, or lease of all or substantially all of its property, assets, and business as an entirety) shall be proposed and action by the Company with respect thereto has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors,
then in any one or more of said events the Company shall give notice in writing of such event to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear on the Company's records at least twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividends, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to publish, mail, or receive such notice or any defect therein or in the publication or mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or such proposed dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. Each person or entity in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is to be issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this instrument was surrendered and payment of the Share Purchase Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such stock 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 of Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
6. RESTRICTED SECURITIES.
In order to enable the Company to comply with the Securities Act and applicable state laws, the Company may require the Holder as a condition of the transfer or exercise of this Warrant to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company that the Warrant is being acquired, or in the case of an exercise hereof, that the Shares subject to this Warrant are being acquired, for its own account, for investment only, with no view to the distribution of the same, and that any disposition of all or any portion of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon the due exercise of this Warrant shall not be made, unless and until:
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) The Holder has notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) the Holder has furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel or other evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act and applicable state law.
The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is, and each of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the due exercise hereof will be, restricted securities and that it understands the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock will bear a legend substantially similar to the following:
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED TO SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO THE SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (ii) RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (iii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE."
7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Holder thereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
8. LOSS OR MUTILATION.
Upon receipt by the Company of satisfactory evidence of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant, and (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, upon receipt by the Company of indemnity satisfactory to it, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon receipt of such Warrant and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant representing the right to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock.
