ONCTERNAL THERAPEUTICS, INC.

INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, ______________, together with its permitted successors and assigns (“Holder”) is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to subscribe for and purchase shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”) of ONCTERNAL THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), subject to adjustment as provided herein. This warrant and any warrant subsequently issued upon exchange or transfer hereof are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Warrant.”

This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1.    Purchase Agreement. This Warrant is issued in connection with that certain Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated September 12, 2017 by and among the Company and the entities and persons listed on the Schedule of Investors thereto (as amended, the “Agreement”), and the Holder and the Company shall be bound by all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

2.    Exercise of Warrant. The terms and conditions upon which this Warrant may be exercised, and the shares covered hereby may be purchased, are as follows:

2.1    Term. Subject to the terms hereof and unless sooner terminated as provided below in Section 6.2, this Warrant may be exercised at any time after the date hereof, or from time to time, in whole or in part; provided, however, that in no event may this Warrant be exercised later than 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the close of business on                 , 2022 (the “Exercise Period”).


2.2    Number of Series B-2 Preferred Stock Shares. This Warrant may be exercised for __________________ (______) shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

2.3    Exercise Price. The “Exercise Price” shall be $0.45 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

2.4    Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and while this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable, this Warrant is exercisable with respect to any or all of the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, at the option of Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company together with (a) a duly completed (i) Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or (ii) a Net Issue Election Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, solely in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger solely to effect a reincorporation of the Company into another state), or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company in its entirety to any other person (collectively, a “Change of Control”), or after the Company completes an initial public offering of shares of its Common Stock (an “IPO”), and (b) payment of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised as provided in Section 2.5 below. If Holder exercises this Warrant with respect to less than all of the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock represented by this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver to Holder a new Warrant for the balance of such shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock.

2.5    Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised by Holder shall be made, at the option of Holder, (a) by delivery of cash payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (b) by the delivery of a cashier’s check or certified check, (c) by net issue election as set forth in Section 2.6 below, or (d) by any combination of (a) – (c).

2.6    Net Issue Election Solely in connection with a Change of Control or after an IPO, Holder may elect to receive, without payment by Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock equal to the value of the “spread” on the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock or any portion thereof by the surrender of the Warrant to the Company, together with a duly completed Net Issue Election Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, at the principal office of the Company, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder such number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock as is computed using the following formula, rounded down to the nearest whole share:

X = Y (A – B)

          A

Where:         X =    The number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock to be issued to Holder pursuant to the net issue election;

 

2


Y =    The number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock in respect of which the net issue election is made;

A =    The fair market value (as determined below) of one share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock at the time the net issue election is made; and

B =    The Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the date of the net issue election.

For purposes of this Section 2.6, the fair market value of one share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock as of a particular date shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

3.    Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

3.1    Conversion of Series B-2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Upon conversion of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B-2 Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”), this Warrant shall be automatically exercisable only for such number of shares of Common Stock as Holder would have received had this Warrant been exercised in full for the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock and then converted into Common Stock on the date all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock. The Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such conversion shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such conversion, be proportionally adjusted. Upon such conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock, all references under this Warrant to shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be deemed references to Common Stock.

3.2    Split, Subdivision or Combination. If the Company should at any time or from time to time fix a record date for (a) the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock or (b) the determination of Holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling Holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as the “Series B-2 Equivalents”), without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock or Series B-2 Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Exercise Price shall be appropriately decreased and the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock which this Warrant is exercisable for, if any, shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such case, the aggregate purchase price payable by Holder for the total number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (as adjusted) shall remain the same.

3.3    Combination of Shares. If the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased and the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, if any, shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such case, the aggregate purchase price payable by Holder for the total number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (as adjusted) shall remain the same.

3.4    Reclassification or Reorganization. If the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision, conversion or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 above), then and in each such event Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change, to which a holder of the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. At the request of Holder, this Warrant will thereupon be cancelled and upon its surrender to the Company, the Company will execute and deliver at its expense a new Warrant reflecting the foregoing adjustment, but otherwise identical to the replaced Warrant.

3.5    Notice of Adjustments and Record Dates. The Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder and the number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. Such notice shall state the adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which that adjustment or readjustment is based. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of holders of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock for the purpose of determining holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, the Company shall notify Holder in writing of such record date at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein.

3.6    Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of a share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) by such fraction.

3.7    Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of Holder.

3.8    No Impairment. The Company shall not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that all shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock as may be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

4.    Replacement of Warrants. On receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

5.    No Rights or Liability as a Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder as a shareholder of the Company.

6.    Miscellaneous.

6.1    Limitations on Disposition. Holder agrees not to make any disposition of this Warrant or any shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless and until (i) the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 6.1 and the other provisions of this Warrant as if such transferee were the original Holder hereof, provided and to the extent such provisions are then applicable, and (ii) such transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

6.2    Early Termination. In the event of, at any time during the Exercise Period, any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or 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 merger solely to effect a reincorporation of the Company into another state), or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company in its entirety to any other person, the Company shall provide to Holder ten (10) days advance written notice of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale or other disposition of the Company’s assets, and this Warrant shall terminate (subject to the provisions of Section 6.3) unless exercised prior to the occurrence of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale or other disposition of the Company’s assets.

6.3    Automatic Conversion upon Expiration or Termination. In the event that, at the end of the Exercise Period or earlier termination of this Warrant pursuant to Section 6.2, the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of one share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) is greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be converted pursuant to Section 2.6 above as to all shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised or converted, and the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate representing the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (or such other securities) issued upon such conversion to the Holder.

6.4    Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant.

6.5    Notices. All notices and other communications under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt if delivered personally, or when sent if mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or by reputable overnight express courier (charges prepaid) or transmitted by facsimile (with confirmation of transmittal) to the party to be notified at the address indicated for such party on the signature page hereof, or at such other address as such party may designate by advance written notice to the other parties.

6.6    Attorneys’ Fees. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

6.7    Amendments and Waivers. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any other term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority in interest of the shares issuable upon exercise of all then-outstanding Warrants. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 6.7 shall be binding upon Holder of this Warrant (and of any shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable), and each future holder of all such securities and the Company.

6.8    Severability. If one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

6.9    Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.
