ARTICLE 3.
CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS OF NUMBER OF
SHARES PURCHASABLE AND WARRANT PRICE
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
3.1 Reclassification or Consolidation. In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company, shall execute a new warrant of like form, tenor and effect and which will provide that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new warrant and purchase upon such exercise, in lieu of each share of Class A Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or consolidation by a holder of one share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, or consolidation. Such new Warrant shall be as nearly equivalent in all substantive respects as practicable to this Warrant and the adjustments provided in this Article 3 and the provisions of this Section 3.1, shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, and consolidations.
4
3.2 Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company shall at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and less than fully exercised: (i) split or subdivide its Class A Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced; or (ii) shall combine or reverse-split shares of its Class A Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.
3.3 Time of Adjustments to the Warrant Price and Shares Purchasable. All adjustments to the Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be effective, as applicable, as of the earliest of:
(i) the date of issue of the security, or the occurrence of the other event, causing the adjustment;
(ii) the date of sale of the security causing the adjustment;
(iii) the effective date of a division or combination of shares; and
(iv) the record date of any action of holders of any class of the Company’s capital stock taken for the purpose of entitling the stockholders of the Company to receive a distribution or dividend payable in equity securities, provided that such division, combination, distribution or dividend actually occurs;
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the first adjustment, if applicable, to the Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder, shall be calculated based off of the initial aggregate number of Warrant Shares hereunder.
3.4 Notices. During the term of this Warrant, in addition to any other notices required or permitted hereunder, at least fourteen (14) days prior to (i) the Company declaring a record date for holders of its Class A Common Stock (or any other securities receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend, distribution, right to subscribe or purchase other securities or any other right; (ii) any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; (iii) any Sale of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, change or exchange of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant); (iv) any sale or transfer to another corporation or entity of all, or substantially all, of the property of the Company; (v) any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or (vi) any public offering of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Company shall give notice to the Holder stating the record date for determining the holders entitled to such distribution or the date on which securities of the Company are to be exchanged in connection with a reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place and the date, if any, on which the capital stock of the Company is to be exchanged in connection therewith.
5
3.5 Duration of Adjusted Warrant Price. Following each adjustment of the Warrant Price, such adjusted Warrant Price shall remain in effect until a further adjustment of the Warrant Price.
3.6 Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to this Article 3, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted to the nearest whole share, to the number obtained by dividing the Aggregate Price by the Warrant Price as adjusted.
ARTICLE 4.
TRANSFER, RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; DRAG ALONG; EXCHANGE AND LOSS
4.1 Transfer. This Warrant and any and all rights hereunder are not transferable unless otherwise agreed to by Company in writing, which agreement may be withheld in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
4.2 Right of First Refusal. The shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to a right of first refusal as set forth in the Company’s Bylaws (the “ROFR”). Before any such shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any beneficial interest in such shares) may be sold, transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by Holder or any subsequent transferee, such party must first offer such shares or beneficial interest to the Company and/or its assignee(s) in accordance with the terms of the ROFR.
4.3 Drag Along. In the event that (i) the Board, (ii) the holders of the majority of the shares of Common Stock then issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock (the “Selling Investors”); and (iii) the holders of the majority of the shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (other than those issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) (collectively, the “Electing Holders”), approve a Sale of the Company, then Holder agrees (such agreement the Company’s “Drag-Along Right”) with respect to all shares of capital stock of the Company pursuant to this Warrant that it holds or otherwise exercises dispositive power as follows:
(i) in the event such transaction requires the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (x) if the matter is to be brought to a vote at a stockholder meeting, after receiving proper notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Company to vote on the approval of a Sale of the Company, to be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of shares of capital stock, at all such meetings and be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings; and (y) to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all shares of capital stock in favor of such Sale of the Company and in opposition of any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;
6
(ii) in the event that the Sale of the Company is to be effected by the sale of shares of capital stock by the Company’s stockholders (the “Selling Holders”) without the need for stockholder approval, Holder agrees to sell all shares of capital stock that it beneficially holds (or in the event that the Selling Holders are selling fewer than all of their shares of capital stock of the Company, shares in the same proportion as the Selling Holders are selling) to the person to whom the Selling Holders propose to sell their shares of capital stock;
(iii) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company;
(iv) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company;
(v) in the event that the Electing Holders, in connection with such Sale of the Company, appoint a stockholder representative (the “Stockholder Representative”) with respect to matters affecting the stockholders of the Company under the applicable definitive transaction agreements following consummation of such Sale of the Company, (x) to consent to (i) the appointment of such Stockholder Representative, (ii) the establishment of any applicable escrow, expense or similar fund in connection with any indemnification or similar obligations, and (iii) the payment of Holder’s pro rata portion (from the applicable escrow or expense fund or otherwise) of any and all reasonable fees and expenses to such Stockholder Representative in connection with such Stockholder Representative’s services and duties in connection with such Sale of the Company and its related service as the representative of the stockholders of the Company, and (y) not to assert any claim or commence any suit against the Stockholder Representative or any other stockholder of the Company with respect to any action or inaction taken or failed to be taken by the Stockholder Representative in connection with its service as the Stockholder Representative, absent fraud or willful misconduct;
(vi) if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the shares pursuant such Sale of the Company includes any securities and due receipt thereof by Holder would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (y) the provision to Holder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may cause to be paid to Holder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the shares which would have otherwise been sold by Holder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which Holder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for such shares; and
(vii) not to deposit any voting securities owned by Holder in a voting trust or subject any such voting securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares of capital stock, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquiror in connection with a Sale of the Company.
7
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder will not be required to comply with these restrictions in connection with any proposed Sale of the Company unless (1) Holder receives with respect to Holder’s shares of a class or series of capital stock consideration per share that is no less than every other stockholder participating in the Sale of the Company with respect to his, her or its shares of the same class or series of capital stock, (2) the proceeds payable to Holder in connection with such transaction are equal to or greater than the proceeds required to be paid to Holder pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation in effect at such time, (3) Holder’s maximum liability in connection with such Sale of the Company does not exceed the consideration payable to Holder in such Sale of the Company (other than in the case of potential liability for fraud or willful misconduct or breach of a representation by Holder relating to Holder’s title to Holder’s securities as to which liability there need not be any such limitation) and (4) the terms of such transaction applicable to Holder are materially no less favorable than the terms applicable to each other stockholder holding the same class or series of shares as Holder.
By Holder’s execution of this Warrant, Holder hereby constitutes and appoints the President and Secretary of the Company, and each of them, with full power of substitution, as Holder’s proxies with respect to the Drag- Along Right, including without limitation, votes regarding any Sale of the Company, and hereby authorize each of them to represent and to vote, if and only if Holder (i) fails to vote or (ii) attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent), in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Warrant, all of Holder’s shares of capital stock of the Company in favor of any Sale of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The proxy granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is given for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency is hereby acknowledged and, as such, is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Warrant terminates or expires.
4.4 Securities Laws. In connection with the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock to the Holder, the Holder agrees to execute an investment intent letter or purchase agreement in such form as reasonably requested by the Company and its counsel and as may be required to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. If required by the Company, in connection with each issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will give: (i) assurances in writing, satisfactory to the Company’s counsel, that such shares are not being purchased with a view to the distribution thereof in violation of applicable laws, (ii) sufficient information, in writing, to enable the Company’s counsel to reasonably rely on exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of applicable laws, if available, with respect to such exercise, and (iii) its cooperation to the Company in connection with such compliance.
4.5 Exchange. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Company for Warrants which represent, in the aggregate, the applicable Aggregate Price and aggregate number of Vested Warrant Shares hereunder; each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such portion of the Aggregate Price and aggregate number of Warrant Shares, whether or not vested, hereunder as the Holder shall designate at the time of such exchange. Each new Warrant shall be identical in form and content to this Warrant, except for appropriate changes in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered thereby, the percentage stated in Section 4.1 above, and any other changes which are necessary in order to prevent the Warrant exchange from changing the respective rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder as they existed immediately prior to such exchange.
8
4.6 Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the ownership of, and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of, this Warrant and in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, of indemnity satisfactory to it, and in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant identical in form and content.

Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given in the Warrant. The portion of the Aggregate Price (as defined in the Warrant) to be applied toward the purchase of Common Stock pursuant to this Notice of Exercise is $ , thereby leaving a remainder Aggregate Price (if any) equal to $ . Such exercise shall be pursuant to the cash exercise provisions of Section 2.1 of the Warrant. Therefore, the Holder makes payment with this Notice of Exercise by way of [check payable or wire transfer (cross out inapplicable payment method)] to the Company in the amount of $ . Such [check or wire transfer (cross out inapplicable payment method)] is payment in full under the Warrant for shares of Common Stock based upon the Warrant Price of $per share, as currently in effect under the Warrant. The Holder requests that the certificates for the purchased shares of Common Stock be issued in the name of and delivered to.
