WARRANT TO PURCHASE
SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK OF
CORCEPT THERAPEUTICS
INCORPORATED
This Warrant is issued to [
], or its registered assigns (including any successors or assigns,
the “ Purchaser ”), pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2008,
between Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
(the “ Company ”), the Purchaser and certain
other purchasers thereunder (the “ Purchase Agreement
”) and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase
Agreement.
1. EXERCISE OF
WARRANT.
(a) Method of Exercise
. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
and upon payment of the Warrant Price (as defined below) by wire
transfer to the Company or cashier’s check drawn on a United
States bank made payable to the order of the Company, or exercise
of the right to credit the Warrant Price against the fair market
value of the Warrant Stock (as defined below) at the time of
exercise (the “ Net Exercise Right ”) pursuant
to Section 1(b), the Purchaser is entitled to purchase from
the Company, at any time after the date hereof and on or before
5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 24, 2015 (the “
Expiration Date ”) (subject to earlier termination of
this Warrant as set forth herein), up to
shares (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of
this Warrant) of Common Stock (as defined below) of the Company
(the “ Warrant Stock ”), at a purchase price of
$2.77 per share (the “ Warrant Price
”).
(b) Net Exercise Right
. If the Company shall receive written notice from the Purchaser at
the time of exercise of this Warrant that the holder elects to
exercise the Net Exercise Right, the Company shall deliver to such
holder (without payment by the Purchaser of any exercise price in
cash) that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“
Common Stock ”) equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (y) the value of this Warrant (or the specified
portion thereof) on the date of exercise, which value shall be
determined by subtracting (1) the aggregate Warrant Price of
the Warrant Stock (or the specified portion thereof) immediately
prior to the exercise of this Warrant from (2) the Aggregate
Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Warrant Stock (or the
specified portion thereof) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(or specified portion thereof) on the date of exercise by
(z) the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of
Common Stock on the date of exercise. The “ Fair Market
Value ” of a share of Common Stock shall mean the last
reported sale price and, if there are no sales, the last reported
bid price, of the Common Stock on the business day prior to the
date of exercise as reported by the NASDAQ Capital Market or such
other principal exchange or quotation system on which the Common
Stock is then traded or, if the Common Stock is not publicly
traded, the price determined in good faith by the Company’s
Board of Directors. The “ Aggregate Fair Market Value
” of the Warrant Stock shall be determined by multiplying the
number of shares of Warrant Stock by the Fair Market Value of one
share of Warrant Stock.
2. CERTAIN
ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) Mergers or
Consolidations . If at any time after the date hereof there
shall be a capital reorganization (other than a combination or
subdivision of Warrant Stock otherwise provided for herein) (a
“ Reorganization ”), or a merger or
consolidation of the Company with another corporation (other than a
merger with another corporation in which the Company is a
continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant or a merger effected exclusively for the
purpose of changing the domicile of the Company) (a “
Merger ”), then, as a part of such Reorganization or
Merger, lawful provision shall be made so that the Purchaser shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant,
during the period specified in this Warrant and upon payment of the
Warrant Price (unless the Purchaser has elected the Net Exercise
Right), the number of shares of stock or other securities or
property of the Company or the successor corporation resulting from
such Reorganization or Merger, to which a holder of the Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been
entitled under the provisions of the agreement in such
Reorganization or Merger if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately before that Reorganization or Merger. 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 Purchaser after the Reorganization or
Merger to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including
adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and the number of
shares of Warrant Stock) shall be applicable after that event, as
near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other
property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this
Warrant. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, exchanges,
liquidations, recapitalizations, changes, consolidations, mergers,
sales, transfers or other dispositions, if any.

(b) Splits and
Subdivisions; Dividends . In the event the Company should at
any time, or from time to time, fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock or the determination of the holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other 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 per share Warrant Price shall be
appropriately decreased and the number of shares of Warrant Stock
shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase (or
potential increase) of outstanding shares.
(c) Combination of
Shares . If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the per share Warrant Price
shall be appropriately increased and the number of shares of
Warrant Stock shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to
such decrease in outstanding shares.
(d) Adjustments for 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 paid out of net profits) or options or
rights not referred to in Section 2(b), then, in each such
case for the purpose of this Section 2(d), 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 into which this Warrant may
be exercised as of the record date fixed for the determination of
the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
distribution.
3. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No
fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection
with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares
which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal
to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value
of one share of Warrant Stock.
4. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.
Until the exercise of this Warrant or any portion of this Warrant,
the Purchaser shall not have nor exercise any rights by virtue
hereof as a stockholder of the Company (including without
limitation the right to notification of stockholder meetings or the
right to receive any notice or other communication concerning the
business and affairs of the Company).
5. RESERVATION OF STOCK. The
Company covenants that during the period this Warrant is
exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
(or other securities, if applicable) to provide for the issuance of
Warrant Stock (or other securities) upon the exercise of this
Warrant. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall
constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the
necessary certificates for the Warrant Stock upon the exercise of
this Warrant.

6. MECHANICS OF EXERCISE.

part, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise
attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and executed on
behalf of the holder hereof, at the principal office of the Company
together with payment in full of the Warrant Price (unless the
Purchaser has elected the Net Exercise Right) th
