This Warrant Certifies
That, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Bridge Bank
N.A. or its assignee (“ Holder
”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “
Shares ”) of the corporation (the “
Company ”) at the initial exercise price per
Share (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.
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 as Appendix 1 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, provided there is not an
effective registration statement covering the resale of the Shares,
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 Section 1.3.
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. 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. The foregoing notwithstanding, if
Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder
disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder
shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to
undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such
investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the
Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment
banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other
circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by
Holder.
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.
ARTICLE 2
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
SHARES
2.1
Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company
declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common
stock, or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding common
stock into a greater amount of common 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, 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
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 Mergers, Combinations, Etc. 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. If the
outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the
Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. Upon the closing
of any acquisition of all or substantially all of Holder’s
assets or capital stock, 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 shall be adjusted accordingly.
2.4
Adjustments for Diluting Issuances . The Exercise
Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant or, if Shares are Preferred Stock, the number of shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of Shares, shall be subject
to adjustment, from time to time in the manner set forth on
Exhibit A in the event of Diluting Issuances (as defined on
Exhibit A).
2.5
No Impairment. The Company shall not, by
amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the
Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying
out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s
rights under this Article against impairment.
2.6
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.
2.7
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 amount computed by
multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a
full Share.
