Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(b) Interest shall accrue from the date of the Term Loan at the rate specified in Section 2.3(a), and shall be payable monthly on each Payment Date. The Term Loan will be payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest, beginning on the Payment Date of the month immediately following the date of the Term Loan, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Maturity Date, at which time all unpaid amounts in respect of the Term Loan and any other amounts owing under this Agreement shall be due and payable. Term Loan principal, to the extent repaid, may not be reborrowed.

(c) Borrower shall deliver to Bank a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2.

 

  2.2 Overadvances.

If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations owed by Borrower to Bank pursuant to Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement is greater than the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess; provided, however, that if the overadvance is caused by Bank changing the definition of Eligible Accounts or any of the other Borrowing Base criteria, Borrower shall have two (2) Business Days from notice of the overadvance to pay to Bank the amount of such excess.

 

  2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), any Advances shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus one percent (1.0%). Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Term Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus one and one-half percent (1.50%).

(b) Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear interest, during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

(c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on each Payment Date. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to debit any accounts with Bank, including, without limitation, Account Number                      for payments of principal and interest due on the Obligations and any other amounts owing by Borrower to Bank. Bank will notify Borrower of all debits which Bank has made against Borrower’s accounts. Any such debits against Borrower’s accounts in no way shall be deemed a set-off. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.

(d) Prepayment. Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan at any time and from time to time, without payment of any prepayment premium or penalty, upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to Bank. Each prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by payment of all interest accrued and unpaid with respect to the principal prepaid. Prepayments shall be applied to the principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. If Borrower prepays all of the Term Loan principal and all of the other Obligations, including the Advances outstanding, it may terminate this Agreement upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to Bank, without payment of any prepayment premium or penalty.

 

9


(e) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

  2.4 Crediting Payments.

So long as an Event of Default does not exist, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment, whether directed to Borrower’s deposit account with Bank or to the Obligations or otherwise, shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment in respect of the Obligations unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

 

  2.5 Fees.

(a) Facility Fees. A Facility Fee equal to $25,000, which fee shall be due on the Closing Date and shall be fully earned and non-refundable;

  2.6 Additional Costs.

In case any law, regulation, treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):

The obligation of Bank to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is further subject to the following conditions:

(a) timely receipt by Bank of the Payment/Advance Form as provided in Section 2.1; and

(b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension as though made at and as of each such date, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result from such Credit Extension. The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2(b).

 

  4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

  4.1 Grant of Security Interest.

Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt payment of any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof. Borrower acknowledges that while an Event of Default exists, Bank may place a “hold” on any Deposit Account pledged as Collateral to secure the Obligations. Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations (other than Obligations arising under Section 12.2 for which Bank has not asserted any claims as of the date all other Obligations have been paid or satisfied) are outstanding. Bank agrees to execute and deliver to Borrower from time to time such documents as Borrower may request and as are necessary to (i) give to other lenders or lessors that finance Borrower’s purchase of Equipment and related software acquired after the Closing Date, a first priority Lien in such Equipment and related software financed so long as the Liens and Indebtedness incurred with respect thereto are Permitted Liens and Permitted Indebtedness, respectively, or (ii) give a lender to a Foreign Subsidiary a first priority Lien in the equity securities of such Foreign Subsidiary not pledged to Bank, so long as the Lien is a Permitted Lien.

 

  4.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required.

Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfected Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

 

  4.3 Right to Inspect.

Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours, to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

 

  5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

  5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict.

The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

  5.3 No Prior Encumbrances.

Each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, except for any such invalidity or unenforceability that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the rights of any third party, except for claims that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Schedule, Borrower’s rights as a licensee of intellectual property do not give rise to more than five percent (5%) of its gross revenue in any given month, including without limitation revenue derived from the sale, licensing, rendering or disposition of any product or service. Except as set forth in the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, or bound by, any agreement that restricts the grant by Borrower of a security interest in Borrower’s rights under such agreement.

  5.11 Regulatory Compliance.

Borrower and each Subsidiary has met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower’s incurring any liability that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be filed on a timely basis, and has paid, or has made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein,

 

14


except for such taxes the payment of which (i) is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) is reserved against (to the extent required by GAAP) by Borrower, and (iii) does not give rise to a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien.

No representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts that Borrower provides in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

21


(which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (provided that no Credit Extensions will be required to be made during such cure period);

  9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

  9.1 Rights and Remedies.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c) Demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all Letters of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit;

(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;

(e) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate, Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrower’s premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a license to enter such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(f) Without notice to Borrower set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank;

(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;

(h) Upon not less than ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower, sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;

 

23


(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale, or at any private sale as permitted by law; and

(j) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower,

 

  9.2 Power of Attorney.

Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (e) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (f) to modify, in its sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into between Borrower and Bank without first obtaining Borrower’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C and Exhibit D, thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or Mask Works acquired by Borrower after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or Mask Works in which Borrower no longer has or claims any right, title or interest; (g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; and (h) to transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party to the extent permitted under the California Uniform Commercial Code, provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.

 

  9.3 Accounts Collection.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and, if requested or required by Bank, immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

 

  9.4 Bank Expenses.

If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Committed Revolving Line in Section 2.1.1 as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

24


  9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.

So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

 

  9.6 Remedies Cumulative.

Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not expressly set forth herein as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

 

  9.7 Demand; Protest.

Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion.

26


remain inchoate at the time that all other Obligations are satisfied) remain outstanding.

  12.8 Confidentiality.

In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement, except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order (provided, however, that Bank shall use reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of its intent to disclose any confidential information in accordance with this clause (iii), so as to allow Borrower to obtain a protective order or similar court protection), (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (v) as Bank may deem appropriate in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

 

Corporation:      ANDA Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation
Number of Shares:      See below
Class of Stock:      See below
Initial Exercise Price:      See below
Issue Date:      September 3, 2004
Expiration Date:      September 3, 2011

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of the payment of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, GREATER BAY BANCORP (“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 herein 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. The Shares subject to this Warrant shall initially be Series D Preferred Stock; provided, that if at any time after the Issue Date and prior to exercise of this Warrant the Company consummates a Next Round (defined below) in which the per share purchase price of the shares issued in the Next Round (the “Next Round Stock”) is less than the Series D Price, then this Warrant shall be adjusted to instead be exercisable for such Next Round Stock. The Number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) by the Warrant Price. The Warrant Price shall be: (A) in the event the Shares subject to this Warrant are Series D Preferred Stock, equal to the lowest of (i) $13.72 per share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and the like (the “Series D Price”), (ii) 80% of the price per share paid in an Acquisition, or (iii) 80% of the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to an Initial Public Offering (defined below), and (B) in the event the Shares subject to this Warrant are Next Round Stock, equal to the “Next Round Price” (defined below). As used herein, “Next Round” means the first issuance and sale of preferred stock after the Issue Date to any investors pursuant to an offering in which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least $1,000,000, and “Next Round Price” means the per share purchase price of such preferred stock. As used herein, “Initial Public Offering” means the initial public offering of the Borrower’s common stock effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-l (or its successor) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

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, 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. In the event Holder converts this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.2, Holder shall surrender this Warrant or such portion being converted to the Company along with a conversion election notice attached hereto duly executed to the principal office of the Company. 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

 

1


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.

1.6 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the 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 (including intellectual property) of the Company, or the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) that results in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of the Company.

1.6.2 Assumption of Warrant. Upon the closing of any Acquisition, other than an Acquisition in which the consideration received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities 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.

1.6.3 Cash Acquisition. This Warrant shall terminate upon the closing of an Acquisition in which the consideration received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash. Immediately prior to the closing of such cash Acquisition, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be converted in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.2 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder. In the event the Warrant is automatically deemed to be converted pursuant to this Section 1.6.3, the Company shall not be required to surrender the certificate representing the Shares until such time as the Holder surrenders the Warrant.

1.6.4 Purchase Bight. If (i) there is an Acquisition in which the consideration received by the Company’s stockholders does not consist solely of cash, and (ii) the successor entity, notwithstanding Section 1.6.2, is unwilling to assume this Warrant, then the Company shall have the option to purchase this Warrant on the closing date of the Acquisition for cash in an amount per Share equal to two and one-half (2.5) times the Warrant Price, less the Warrant Price; provided, however, that such option shall not be exercisable to the extent that Holder exercises this Warrant in connection with such Acquisition.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock (or the Shares if the Shares are securities other than common stock) payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, or, if the Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides the Shares in a transaction that increases the amount of common stock into which the Shares are convertible, 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 rectification, exchange, substitution, conversion 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

 

2


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, conversion or other event. Such an event shall include without limitation 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. 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, conversions or other events.

2.3 Adjustments for 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.

2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. If the Shares are Preferred Stock, the rate of conversion of the Shares into Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, in the manner set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company in effect on the Issue Date, as may be subsequently amended.

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. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

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 an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments.

ARTICLE 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF HOLDER.

5.1 Representations and Warranties. Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

5.1.1 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is issued to Holder in reliance upon Holder’s representation to the Company that the Warrants, the Shares, and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

5.1.2 Disclosure of Information. Holder acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. Holder further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities.

5.1.3 Investment Experience. Holder is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. Holder also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

5.1.4 Accredited Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as presently in effect.

 

5


5.1.5 Restricted Securities. Holder understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. Holder represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

5.2 Market Stand-Off. Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the representatives of the underwriters (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) (i) offer, pledge, sell, contact to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, securities purchased in the initial public offering or securities purchased in open market transactions. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s initial public offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.2 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be bound by this Section 5.2 unless all entities owning three percent (3%) or more of the then outstanding common stock of the Company (assuming full conversion of all outstanding equity securities of the Company convertible into such common stock) are bound by this Section 5.2 or are otherwise contractually restricted from undertaking any action restricted by this Section 5.2.

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of capital stock of Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
