THIS
WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, GOLD
HILL VENTURE LENDING 03, LP (Gold Hill Venture Lending 03, LP,
together with any registered holder from time to time of this
Warrant or any holder of the shares issuable or issued upon
exercise of this Warrant, “Holder”) is entitled to
purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
class of securities (the “Shares”) of the Company at
the Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant
to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.
1.1
Method of Exercise . Holder may exercise this Warrant by
delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the
form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the
Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth
in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a
check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or
other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate
Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2
Conversion Right . In lieu of exercising this Warrant as
specified in Article 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 by
(b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value
of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to
Article 1.3.
1.3
Fair Market Value . If the Company’s common stock is
traded in a public market and the Shares are common stock, the fair
market value of each Share shall be the closing price of a Share
reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers
its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or in the instance where the
Warrant is exercised immediately prior to the effectiveness of the
Company’s initial public offering, the “price to
public” per share price specified in the final prospectus
relating to such offering). If the Company’s common stock is
traded in a public market and the Shares are preferred stock, the
fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price of a share
of the Company’s common stock reported for the business day
immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the
Company (or, in the instance where the Warrant is exercised
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s
initial public offering, the initial “price to public”
per share price specified in the final prospectus relating to such
offering), in both cases, multiplied by the number of shares of the
Company’s common stock into which a Share is convertible. If
the Company’s common stock is not 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 and, if applicable, the
Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, 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 shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new
warrant of like tenor.
1.6
Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company
.
1.6.1
“ Acquisition ”. For the purpose of this
Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the
Company 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.
1.6.2
Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition .
(A) Upon
the written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the
event of an Acquisition that is not an asset sale and in which the
sole consideration is cash, either (a) Holder shall exercise
its conversion or purchase right under this Warrant and such
exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the
consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not
to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire upon the
consummation of such Acquisition. The Company shall provide Holder
with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing
(together with such reasonable information as Holder may request in
connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such
notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten
(10) days prior to the closing of the proposed
Acquisition.
2
(B) Upon
the written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the
event of an Acquisition that is an “arms length” sale
of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (and only
its assets) to a third party that is not an Affiliate (as defined
below) of the Company (a “True Asset Sale”), either
(a) Holder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right
under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective
immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or
(b) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant
will continue until the Expiration Date if the Company continues as
a going concern following the closing of any such True Asset Sale.
The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of its request
relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable
information as Holder may request in connection with such
contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to
be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to
the closing of the proposed Acquisition.
(C) Upon
the closing of any Acquisition other than those particularly
described in subsections (A) and (B) above, the successor
entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and 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 and/or number of Shares shall be
adjusted accordingly.
As used
herein “ Affiliate ” shall mean any person or
entity that owns or controls directly or indirectly fifty percent
(50%) or more of the stock of Company, and any person or entity
that controls or is controlled by or is under common control with
such persons or entities.
ARTICLE 2.
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES .
2.1
Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc . If the Company declares or
pays a dividend on the Shares payable in common stock, or other
securities, 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 occurred. If the Company subdivides the Shares by
reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares or
takes any other action which increase the amount of stock into
which the Shares are convertible, the number of shares purchasable
hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price
shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares are
combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a
lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately
increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately
decreased.
2.2
Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations 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,
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 Articles or
Certificate (as applicable) 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 an
amendment to this Warrant setting forth the number and kind of such
new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification,
exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of
the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant. The amendment to this 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
Article 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other
events.
3
2.3
Adjustments for Diluting Issuances . The Warrant Price and
the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or, if
the Shares are preferred stock, the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall be subject to
adjustment, from time to time in the manner set forth in the
Company’s Articles or Certificate of Incorporation as if the
Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any
such required adjustment. The provisions set forth for the Shares
in the Company’s Art
