Shares of Common Stock
(subject to adjustment)
Warrant #
---
For value received, Photoelectron Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to CYP Corporation, or its registered
assigns (the "Registered Holder"), the right to purchase from the Company ______
shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section
3 hereof) at a price of $____ per share (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3
hereof, the "Exercise Price"). The amount and kind of securities purchasable
pursuant to the rights granted under this Warrant and the purchase price for
such securities are subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions contained
in this Warrant.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:
1. Definitions. As used in this Warrant, the following terms have the
meanings set forth below:
-13-
"Common Stock" means the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per
share.
"Date of Issuance" shall have the meaning specified in Section 10 of
this Warrant.
"Person" means an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a limited
liability company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated organization or
any other entity or a government or any department or agency of a government.
"Warrant" or "Warrants" means this Warrant and all stock purchase
warrants issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms thereof.
"Warrant Stock" means shares of the Company's authorized but unissued
Common Stock; provided that if there is a change such that the securities
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are issued by an entity other than the
Company or there is a change in the class of securities so issuable, then the
term "Warrant Stock" will mean one share of the security issuable upon exercise
of the Warrant if such security is issuable in shares, or will mean the smallest
unit in which such security is issuable if such security is not issuable in
shares.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 Exercise Period. The Registered Holder may exercise this
Warrant, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Warrant
Stock), at any time and from time to time prior to the fifth anniversary of the
Date of Issuance of the Warrant (the "Exercise Period").
2.2 Exercise Procedure.
(a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder in whole or
in part (but not as to fractional shares of Warrant Stock) by the surrender of
this Warrant and delivery of an executed Notice of Exercise in the form appended
hereto duly executed by the Registered Holder to the Company at its principal
office at any time or times during the Exercise Period accompanied by payment
for the Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant is being exercised by wire
transfer to an account designated by the Company or by certified or bank check.
In the event of a partial exercise of this Warrant, this Warrant will be
canceled and the Company will deliver a new Warrant of like tenor representing
the balance of the shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant
will be deemed to have
-14-
been exercised as such time (the "Exercise Date") as the Company has received
the Notice of Exercise accompanied by this Warrant and a wire transfer to an
account designated by the Company or a certified or bank check in the amount of
the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which
the Warrant is being exercised. Alternatively, the Registered Holder may elect
to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant in whole or in part (but not
as to fractional shares of Warrant Stock) by the surrender of this Warrant and
delivery of an executed Notice of Exercise specifying that the Warrant shall be
exercised, and the exercise price therefor paid, by the Company's issuing to the
Registered Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the
following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
-------
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the
Registered Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
A = the current fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock.
B = Exercise Price.
As used herein, current fair market value of the Warrant Stock shall mean
the numerical average of the fair market value per share of Warrant Stock over
the 10 trading days immediately preceding the day on which the Notice of
Exercise is received by the Company. If the Warrant Stock is then traded on a
securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market,
"fair market value per share" on any given day shall be the closing price of a
share of Warrant Stock on that exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market for that day, or if the Warrant Stock is then traded in
an over-the-counter market, "fair market value per share" on any given day shall
be the closing bid price for a share of Warrant Stock on such market for that
day. If at any time the Warrant Stock is not listed on any securities exchange
or quoted in the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the
over-the-counter market, the "current fair market value" of Warrant Stock shall
be the highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing
buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Warrant Stock sold by
the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company shall engage in an "Acquisition" transaction, as defined below, the
current fair market value of the Common Stock shall be determined with reference
to the value ascribed to the Company by the terms of the Acquisition
transaction.
-15-
(b) Certificates for shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon exercise
of this Warrant will be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser within ten
days after the Exercise Date. Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the
purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company will prepare
a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the rights formerly
represented by this Warrant which have not expired or been exercised. The
Company will, within such ten-day period, deliver such new Warrant to the Person
designated for delivery in the Notice of Exercise.
(c) The Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will
be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser on the Exercise Date, and the
Purchaser will be deemed for all purposes to have been the record holder of such
Warrant Stock on the Exercise Date.
(d) The issuance of certificates for shares of Warrant Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant will be made without charge to the Registered Holder or
the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred
by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of
shares of Warrant Stock. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer, in whole or in part, of
this Warrant (including the issuance of new Warrants in connection therewith) or
the delivery of stock certificates in a name other than that of the Registered
Holder of this Warrant presented for exercise, and any such tax shall be paid by
such Registered Holder at the time of presentation.
2.3 Notice of Exercise. The Notice of Exercise will be substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit I hereto, except that if the shares of Warrant Stock
are not to be issued in the name of the Registered Holder of this Warrant, the
Notice of Exercise will also state the name of the Person to whom the
certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock are to be issued, and if the number
of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued does not include all the shares of
Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder, it will also state the name of the Person
to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the rights hereunder is to
be delivered.
-16-
3. Exercise Price and Adjustments for Certain Events.
3.1 General. The initial Exercise Price will be $___ , subject to
adjustment as set forth below.
3.2 Stock Splits, etc. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, whether
by way of a stock dividend or otherwise, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately increased; and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced.
3.3 Adjustments for Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If any
capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company
is effected (other than an Acquisition, as defined below), then, as a condition
of such capital reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate
provision shall be made whereby the Registered Holder shall thereafter have the
right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
specified in this Warrant, in lieu of shares of Warrant Stock immediately
theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented hereby, those shares of stock, securities or assets which would have
been issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the Warrant Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the record date (or the effective date, as the case may be)

such adjustment and increase or decrease.
