substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a "Note" and, collectively,
the "Notes") (representing initially $1,600,000 aggregate principal amount of
Notes and subject to increase in principal amount as provided in Section 1
hereof) and (ii) stock subscription warrants of the Company, in substantially
the form of Exhibit B hereto (each, a "Warrant" and, collectively, the
"Warrants") to purchase shares of capital stock (the "Underlying Securities")
of the Company. Accordingly, the Company hereby agrees with the Purchasers as
follows:
SECTION 1. Purchase and Sale of the Securities.
----------------------------------------------
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement, on February 26, 1997, the Company is issuing and selling to
each Purchaser, and each such Purchaser is purchasing and acquiring from the
Company, a Note in the principal amount set forth opposite the name of such
Purchaser on Schedule I hereto and a Warrant to purchase up to that number of
shares of capital stock as is determined pursuant thereto for the aggregate
purchase price set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser on Schedule I
hereto. The purchase and sale of the Note and the Warrant with respect to each
Purchaser is being held at the offices of the Company or such other place as
the Company and each such Purchaser have agreed simultaneously with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement. The purchase price for the
applicable Note and Warrant to be purchased by each Purchaser are being paid
by wire transfer of funds to the account of the Company, and the Company is
issuing and delivering the Note and Warrant to each such Purchaser,
registered in the name of the Purchaser, against receipt of the purchase price
therefore.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, America Online, Inc. ("AOL") may, upon the written request of
the Company and at AOL's sole option and discretion, elect to (but shall be
under no obligation to) fund up to an additional $450,000 on the terms and
conditions set forth herein (the "AOL Additional Funding"); provided, however,
that in the event that the Company receives one or more commitments from
potential investors (other than the current holders of Series B Preferred Stock,
$.0005 par value, of the Company ("Series B Preferred Stock")) for the purchase
of an aggregate of at least $10,000,000 of Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series
C Preferred Stock") of the Company as determined in the reasonable good faith
judgment of Bear Xxxxxxx & Co., Inc., the placement agent for the proposed
issuance and sale of the Series C Preferred Stock, then within five (5) days of
a written request of the Company, AOL shall be obligated to and shall fund an
additional $450,000 on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "AOL
Mandatory Funding"); provided further, however, that if AOL shall make an AOL
Additional Funding or an AOL Mandatory Funding, then The Tribune Company
("Tribune") shall concurrently therewith fund an amount equal to 50% of such
AOL Additional Funding or Mandatory Funding, as the case may be, on the terms
and conditions set forth herein (the "Tribune Additional Funding"; and the AOL
Additional Funding, the AOL Mandatory Funding and the Tribune Additional
Funding, collectively, the "Additional Funding")). Any such Additional Funding
shall be evidenced by an amendment to the Note being issued and delivered to AOL
or Tribune (as the case may be) on the date hereof to reflect an increase in the
principal amount thereof equal to the amount of the Additional Funding, and the
Additional Funding shall not require the consent or approval of any other
Purchaser hereunder.

warranties of the Company contained herein, such Purchaser acknowledges that
such Purchaser has met with representatives of the Company and has had the

investment in the Company, and is able to bear the economic risk of such
investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof.

(b) Conversion on or after Demand Date.

equity for cash completed by the Company (the "Non-Qualified

(ii) Anything contained in Sections 2(a) or (b)(i) to the
contrary notwithstanding, if the Company does not consummate a

fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note and the number
of the Underlying Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole

election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any other

THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, [Insert name of
holder], or assigns, is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from iVILLAGE
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), that number of shares (the
"Warrant Shares") of Senior Series B-2 Preferred Stock, $.0005 par value, of
the Company as shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1 hereof at the price per share (the "Warrant Price") determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1 hereof, at any time or from time
to time during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing with the date
hereof and terminating on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof. This
Warrant is being issued pursuant to a Secured Convertible Promissory Note
dated as of February , 1997 (the "Note"), issued by the Company to the holder
of this Warrant and is one of a series of stock subscription warrants
(including this Warrant, the "Warrants") being issued pursuant to one or more
secured convertible
-------------------
* This Warrant will be issued on the Demand Date (as such term is defined in the
Note).
promissory notes issued by the Company. Terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Note.
SECTION 1. Warrant Shares and Warrant Price.
-------------------------------------------
The Warrant Shares and the Warrant Price shall be established as
follows:
(a) The Warrant Shares shall consist of the Company's Senior
Series B-2 Preferred Stock, $.0005 par value, (the "Senior Series B-2
Preferred Stock"), and the Warrant Price shall equal $.01.
(b) The number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be equal to (1) the product of (x) the quotient of (A) the
principal amount of the Note plus accrued interest (calculated on a weekly
basis) divided by (B) $1,000,000 and (y) four (4%) percent of the number of
shares of voting capital stock of the Company outstanding on the date of
calculation after giving effect to the exercise, exchange or conversion of all
then outstanding securities, rights, options, warrants, that are, directly or
indirectly, exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into or otherwise
represent the right to purchase or otherwise receive, directly or indirectly,
any such capital stock (collectively, the "Fully-Diluted Shares"),
multiplied by the number of thirty-day periods during which the Note shall be
outstanding (the "Multiple"), commencing with the earlier of (x) the date of
issuance of this Warrant (the "Issue Date") or (y) in the event of the
occurrence of a Payroll Event, 10 days prior to the Payroll Date, and ending
with the date as of which the Note shall no longer be outstanding, divided by
(2) the Warrant Price, minus the number of Warrant Shares for which this
Warrant was previously exercised; provided however, that in the event of a
partial period, the Multiple shall be increased by a fraction the numerator of
which shall be the number of days from the end of the prior full thirty-day
(or shorter) period to the date of exercise of this Warrant and the
denominator of which shall be thirty (30). The number of Warrant Shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable shall increase as aforesaid at the end of
each thirty-day period during which the Note (as defined herein) shall be
outstanding.
SECTION 2. Exercise of Warrant.
--------------------
The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by
the holder hereof, in whole or in part, at any time during the Exercise
Period, by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed) at the office of
the Company, or at such other agency or office of the Company in the United
States of America as it may designate by notice in writing to the holder
hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company,
and by payment to the Company of the Warrant Price in cash or by check (or by
cancellation of indebtedness evidenced by the Note
-2-
issued by the Company to such holder which, for such purpose, shall be valued
at the principal amount thereof and interest thereon so canceled) for each
share being purchased. In the event of the exercise of the rights represented
by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Senior Series
B-2 Preferred Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the holder, and if
such Warrant Exercise shall not have been for all Warrant Shares, a new
Warrant, registered in the name of the holder hereof, of like tenor to this
Warrant, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not
exceeding ten days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
been so exercised. The person in whose name any certificate for shares of
Senior Series B-2 Preferred Stock is issued upon exercise of this Warrant
shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the
Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of
delivery of such 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 at the
close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer
books are open.
SECTION 3. Exchange of Warrant.
(a) At any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period,
the holder may, at its option, exchange this warrant, in whole or in part (a
"Warrant Exchange"), into the number of Warrant Shares determined in
accordance with paragraph (b) below, by the surrender of this Warrant,
accompanied by a properly completed and executed Notice of Exchange in the
form attached, at the agency or office of the Company referred to in Section
2.
(b) In connection with any Warrant Exchange, this Warrant shall
represent the right to subscribe for and acquire the excess (rounded to the
next higher integer) of (i) the number (the "Total Number") of Warrant Shares
specified in the Notice of Exchange over (ii) the number of Warrant Shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Total Number
and the existing Warrant Price by (B) the Fair Market Value.
(c) "Fair Market Value" as of a particular date (the
"Determination Date") shall mean:
(i) if the Company's Common Stock is traded on an
exchange or is quoted on the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market
System, then the average of the closing or last sale prices,
respectively, reported for the twenty (20) trading days ended
immediately preceding the Determination Date; or if the Company's
-3-
Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the NASDAQ
Nationl Market System but is traded in the over-the-counter
market, then the mean of the average of the closing bid and asked
prices reported for the twenty (20) trading days ended
immediately preceding the Determination Date;
(ii) in the event of a Warrant Exchange in
connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company or a
sale of all outstanding capital stock or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets, the value of the consideration
received or receivable by the stockholders of the Company for
each share of Common Stock held (assuming, in the case of a sale
of assets, the Company is liquidated immediately following such
sale and the consideration paid to the Company is immediately
distributed to its stockholders); and
(iii) in all other circumstances, the fair market
value per share of outstanding Common Stock as determined by a
nationally recognized independent investment banking firm jointly
selected by the Company and the holders of a majority-in-interest
of all Warrants then outstanding or, if such selection cannot be
made within five days after delivery of the Notice of Exchange, by
a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm
selected by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with
its rules.
(d) The closing of any Warrant Exchange shall take place at the
offices of the Company on the date specified in the Notice of Exchange (the
"Exchange Date"), which shall be not less than five and not more than 30 days
after the delivery of such Notice. At such closing, the Company shall issue and
deliver to the holder or its designee a certificate or certificates for the
Warrant Shares to be issued upon such Warrant Exchange, registered in the name
of the holder or such designee, and if such Warrant Exchange shall not have been
for all Warrant Shares, a new Warrant, registered in the name of the holder, of
like tenor to this Warrant for the number of shares still subject to this
Warrant following such Warrant Exchange (i.e., the excess of (i) the number of
shares subject to this Warrant immediately before such Warrant Exchange over
(ii) the Total Number).
SECTION 4. Adjustment of Warrant Price.
---------------------------
If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of
outstanding shares of Senior Series B-2 Preferred Stock is (i) increased by a
stock dividend payable in shares of such class of capital stock or by a
subdivision or split-up of shares of such class of capital stock, or (ii)
decreased by a combination of shares of such class of capital stock, then,
following the record
-4-
date fixed for the determination of holders of such class of capital stock
entitled to receive the benefits of such stock dividend, subdivision,
split-up, or combination, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to a new amount
equal to the product of (A) the Warrant Price in effect on such record date
and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the number of shares of such
class of capital stock outstanding on such record date (without giving effect
to the event referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), by (y) the number
of shares of such class of capital stock which would be outstanding
immediately after the event referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii),
if such event had occurred immediately following such record date.
SECTION 5. Adjustment of Warrant Shares.
----------------------------
Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as provided in Section
4, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to subscribe for and purchase, at
the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares
equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares existing prior to
such adjustment and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Warrant
Price existing prior to such adjustment by (B) the new Warrant Price resulting
from such adjustment. No fractional shares of capital stock of the Company
shall be issued as a result of any such adjustment, and any fractional shares
resulting from the computations pursuant to this paragraph shall be eliminated
without consideration.
SECTION 6. Covenants as to Senior Series B-2 Preferred Stock and
Common Stock.
(a) The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of capital
stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant, and all shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be issued
upon the conversion of Senior Series B-2 Preferred Stock if issued upon
exercise of this Warrant (collectively, the "Underlying Securities") will,
upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company
further covenants and agrees that the Company will from time to time take all
such action as may be requisite to assure that the stated or par value per
share of the Underlying Securities is at all times equal to or less than the
then effective Warrant Price per share of the Underlying Securities issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that
the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from
preemptive rights, a sufficient number of (a) shares of its Underlying
Securities to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant and (b) shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of Senior
Series B-2 Preferred Stock if issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The
Company further covenants and agrees that if any shares of capital stock to be
reserved for the
-5-
purpose of the issuance of shares of capital stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant or the conversion of Senior Series B-2 Preferred Stock if issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or state law before such shares may
be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will in good
faith and expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or
approval, as the case may be. If and so long as the capital stock issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Senior Series B-2 Preferred Stock if issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant is listed on any national securities exchange, the Company will, if
permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed on such
exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such capital stock.
(b) The Company further covenants and agrees that the holder
hereof will be entitled to the benefits of any adjustment prior to the
exercise hereof pursuant to any anti-dilution protection afforded to holders
of Senior Series B-2 Preferred Stock if issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant.
SECTION 7. No Shareholder Rights.
----------------------
This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting
rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
SECTION 8. Restrictions on Transfer, Rights Under Purchase
-----------------------------------------------
Agreement; Etc.
---------------
The holder of this Warrant by acceptance hereof agrees that the
transfer of this Warrant or any of the Underlying Securities are subject to
the provisions of Section 13 of the Registration Rights Agreement and this
Warrant. The Underlying Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Senior Series
B-2 Preferred Stock if issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
entitled to all rights and benefits accorded thereto in the Purchase
Agreement, and the applicable provisions of the Purchase Agreement are hereby
incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 9. Transfer of Warrant; Amendment.
-------------------------------
(a) This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole, or in part, in accordance with the Stockholders' Agreement, at the
agency or office of the Company referred to in Section 2, by the holder hereof
in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant
properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding
the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank,
shall be deemed negotiable, and, when so endorsed the holder hereof may be
treated by the Company and all
-6-
other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any
purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this
Warrant, or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company, any notice
to the contrary notwithstanding; but until each transfer on such books, the
Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the owner hereof for all
purposes.
(b) The terms and provisions of this Warrant may not be modified
or amended, except under the written consent of the Company and the Holders of
a majority of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof.
SECTION 10. Reorganizations, Etc.
---------------------
In case, at any time during the Exercise Period, of any
capital reorganization, of any reclassification of the stock of the Company
(other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no
par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision,
split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger
in which the Company is the continuing operation and which does not result in
any change in the Underlying Securities) or of the sale of all or
substantially all the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety to
any other corporation, this Warrant shall, after such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, be exercisable for the kind
and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company
or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such
merger or to which such properties and assets shall have been sold to which
such holder would have been entitled if he had held the Underlying Securities
issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale.
SECTION 11. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.
---------------------------------------------
If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the
Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its
discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include
the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as
the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant
shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or
not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone.
