ARTICLE 1

 

EXERCISE

 

1.1          Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this warrant by delivering this warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix I to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

 

1.2          Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares (or zero if the foregoing is less than zero) by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The

 

1



 

fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3. Upon conversion of the warrant in whole pursuant to this Section 1.2, this warrant shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

 

1.3          Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the Fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company; provided, however, that in the event that this warrant is exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the product of (i) the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering, and (ii) the number of shares of common stock into which each Shure is convertible at the time of such exercise. If the Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.

 

1.4          Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

 

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

 

1.6          Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.

 

1.6.1       “Acquisition.” For the purpose of this warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or (b) any reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of the voting securities of the Company or any other transaction where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction; provided, however, that neither of the following shall be considered an Acquisition: (x) a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company and (y) a bona fide equity financing in which the Company is the surviving Company and where the consideration received by the Company is cash, the cancellation or conversion of indebtedness, or a combination of both.

 

1.6.2       Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this warrant, then this warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly. 

 

2



 

The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this warrant.

 

1.6.3       Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this warrant and Holder has not otherwise exercised this warrant in full, then Holder shall be deemed to have been automatically converted in whole pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company.

 

ARTICLE 2

 

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES

 

2.1          Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If after the Amendment Date the Company declares or pays a dividend on its Series B Preferred Stock payable in Series B Preferred stock, or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock into a greater amount of Series B Preferred Stock, then upon exercise of this warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

 

2.2          Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this warrant after the Amendment Date, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s then in effect Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock, The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other property, The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

 

2.3          Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If after the Amendment Date the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If after the Amendment Date the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.

 

2.4          Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. In the event of the issuance (a “Diluting Issuance”) by the Company after the Amendment Date of securities at a price per share that results in the adjustment of the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation)

 

3



 

of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, and such adjustment has not otherwise been waived by the requisite stockholders, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation,

 

2.5          Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, Furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

 

2.6          Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the warrant and the Number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. IF a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
