5.15 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by Borrower in any Loan Document, certificate or written statement furnished to Lender 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 Lender that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower 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 any such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

6.7 Use; Maintenance.

 

(a) Borrower, at its expense, shall make all necessary site preparations and cause the Collateral to be operated in accordance with any applicable manufacturer’s manuals or instructions. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to quietly possess and use the Collateral as provided herein without interference by Lender.

 

(b) Borrower, at its expense, shall maintain the Collateral in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will comply in all material respects with all laws, rules and regulations to which the use and operation of the Collateral may be or become subject. Such obligation shall extend to repair and replacement of any partial loss or damage to the Collateral, regardless of the cause, unless Borrower in good faith determines it not to be in the best interest to repair or replace such Collateral. If maintenance is mandated by manufacturer, Borrower shall obtain and keep in effect, at all times during the Term maintenance service contracts. All parts furnished in connection with such maintenance or repair shall immediately become part of the Collateral. All such maintenance, repair and replacement services shall be immediately paid for and discharged by Borrower with the result that no Lien will attach to the Collateral.

The deductible with respect to insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral shall not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand ($25,000) and the deductible relating to product liability insurance shall not exceed Fifty Thousand ($50,000) in aggregate; otherwise there shall be no deductible with

 

14


respect to any insurance required to be maintained hereunder without the prior written approval of Lender. Each such insurance policy shall: (i) name Lender loss payee or additional insured, as appropriate, (ii) provide for insurer’s waiver of its right of subrogation against Lender and Borrower, (iii) provide that such insurance shall not be invalidated by any action of, or breach of warranty by, Borrower and waive set-off, counterclaim or offset against Lender, (iv) provide that Borrower’s insurance shall be primary without a right of contribution of Lender’s insurance, if any, or any obligation on the part of Lender to pay premiums of Borrower, and (v) require the insurer to give Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation. Borrower shall, on or prior to the first disbursement of funds hereunder and prior to each policy renewal, furnish to Lender certificates of insurance.

(b) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 6.8 received by Lender or Borrower with respect to an item of Collateral, the repair of which is practicable, shall, at the election of Borrower, be applied either to the repair or replacement of such Collateral or, upon Lender’s receipt of evidence of the repair or replacement of the Collateral reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to the reimbursement of Borrower for the cost of such repair or replacement. All replacement parts and equipment acquired by Borrower in replacement of Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.9(b) shall immediately become part of the Collateral upon acquisition by Borrower. Borrower shall take such actions and provide such documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lender to protect and preserve its security interest and otherwise to avoid any impairment of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents in connection with such repair or replacement.

 

6.10 Consultation Rights. Up and until a Liquidation Event and subject to the limitations set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 6.10, Borrower shall permit Lender to participate in the deliberations of Borrower’s management and attempt to influence the conduct of Borrower’s management through the exercise, at reasonable times, of the following consultation rights:

 

(a) Lender shall be entitled to consult with and advise Borrower’s management on significant business issues, including management’s proposed annual operating plans, and management will meet with Lender regularly during each year at mutually agreeable times (at least twice per calendar year) for such consultation and advice and to review progress and operating results.

 

(b) In addition to its rights under Section 4.5, Lender may request information at reasonable times and intervals concerning Borrower’s financial condition and operations, provided that access to highly confidential proprietary information need not be provided unless otherwise required or consented to under this Agreement.

 

(c) Borrower shall provide Lender’s designated representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that Borrower provides to its board of directors. The representative may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if Borrower believes, upon advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential proprietary information or for other similar reasons, provided that access is not otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Agreement. Upon reasonable notice and at a scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors or such other time, if any, as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion, such representative may address the Board of Directors with respect to Lender’s concerns regarding significant business issues facing Borrower.

 

15


(d) The rights of Lender under this Section 6.10 to consult with and advise Borrower concerning significant business issues shall not be deemed or urged by Borrower to vest Lender with the power or right to control the conduct of management of Borrower. Borrower agrees that nothing in this Section 6.10 impairs, vitiates, or limits in any fashion the exercise by Borrower’s management of its fiduciary duties. Borrower acknowledges that Lender’s consultation rights under this Section 6.10 are typical of the rights and access provided to a lender in an arms’ length loan transaction with a business concern with the revenues and prospects comparable to those of Borrower.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10, Lender’s rights granted herein shall not extend to, and Borrower agrees that Lender has no control, management or influence over Borrower of any kind respecting, any matter concerning: (i) the payment of any vendor or creditor of the Borrower other than Lender, (ii) the content of any document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other state or federal regulatory body or agency, (iii) the transport, handling or storage of any material or waste designated as hazardous or otherwise regulated or controlled under any law, regulation or ordinance, (iv) payroll tax, (v) pension plans, or (vi) the termination of non-executive employees.

 

6.11 ACH Further Assurances. In addition to and without limitation of Section 6.12, Borrower agrees that it shall provide Lender with not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of the closure or planned depletion of any account designated as an account for ACH debits and/or credits on the ACH Authorization Form executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower further agrees that should it establish any other accounts in substitution for such closed or depleted accounts, or shall otherwise establish any new deposit or operating accounts from which payments hereunder may be made, it shall notify Lender of the same and at Lender’s request, Borrower shall execute a new ACH Authorization Form in favor of Lender granting Lender authority to create ACH debit and/or credit entries in such accounts for the purposes of effecting payments under Section 2.7(a). Borrower shall take all steps reasonably requested by Lender to maintain an ACH payment arrangement with Lender for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding.

 

6.12 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time Borrower shall execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Lender to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

 

6.13 Litigation. Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing if any action, proceeding or governmental investigation involving Borrower is commenced that may result in damages or costs to Borrower of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) or more.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.2, the Borrower may do any of the following: (i) transfer exclusive or non-exclusive licenses and similar arrangements for use of its intellectual property, in arm’s length transactions, in the ordinary course of its business for adequate consideration (ii) declare and make any dividend payment payable in its equity securities, (iii) convert any of its convertible securities into other securities pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities or otherwise in exchange therefor, (iv) repurchase stock from former employees of Borrower in accordance with the terms of repurchase, vesting or similar agreements between Borrower and such employees in its ordinary course of business, (v) repurchase equity securities with the proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, (vi) repurchase, redeem, retire, defease or otherwise acquire for value equity securities in connection with or pursuant to any employees benefit plan or stock option plan of the Borrower, (vii) provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or is not caused thereby, mergers, consolidations or acquisitions, which after giving effect thereto, Borrower is the surviving entity, and (viii) enter into Permitted Investments.

7.8 Transactions with Affiliates. Other than transactions under the License Agreement, directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, on terms no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default, Lender shall have no further obligation to advance money or extend credit to or for the benefit of Borrower. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the rights, options, duties and remedies of a secured party as permitted by law and, in addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, Lender may, at its election, without notice of 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, including the outstanding principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each Advance, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.11 or 8.12 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);

 

(b) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and do such acts as Lender consider necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Lender as Lender may designate. Borrower authorizes Lender 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 Lender’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 owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

 

(c) Without notice to Borrower, set off and apply to the Obligations any and all indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

 

(d) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, 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 Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit;

 

(e) 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 Lender determines are commercially reasonable;

 

(f) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and

 

19


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

 

9.2 Waiver by Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, Borrower covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension of law now or at any time hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the Property so sold or any part thereof, and, to the full extent legally permitted, except as to rights expressly provided herein, hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of Borrower acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted and delegated to Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such power, law or laws had been made or enacted.

 

9.3 Effect of Sale. Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Borrower, its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or through Borrower, its successors or assigns.

 

9.4 Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) on the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the true and lawful attorney in fact of Borrower with full power of substitution, for it and in its name: (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents, issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a security interest is granted under Section 4 with full power to settle, adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Lender were a Borrower itself, (b) to receive payment of and to endorse the name of Borrower to any items of Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of money) that come into Lender’s possession or under Lender’s control, (c) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the Collateral, (d) in Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Collateral, or (e) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Lender were the outright owner of the Collateral.

 

9.5 Lender’s 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 Lender may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves in Borrower’s loan account as Lender deems necessary to protect Lender from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.8 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid or deposited by Lender shall constitute Lender’s 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 Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender during the existence of Event of Default on Borrower’s

 

20


part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

 

9.7 Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Lender at the time of or received by Lender after, the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:

 

(a) First, to the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Lender;

 

(b) Second, to the payment to Lender of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Advances for Scheduled Payments, the unpaid principal amount of the Advances, and all other Obligations with respect to all Advances, and in case such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Advances, then to the unpaid interest thereon, then to the unpaid principal amount of the Advances, and then to the payment of other amounts then payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and

 

(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

 

9.8 Reinstatement of Rights. If Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), Lender shall be restored to its former position and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the security interest created under this Agreement.

 

9.9 Actions Regarding Intellectual Property Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Intellectual Property Security Agreement to the contrary, provided that (i) no bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding, or similar proceeding, has been threatened or instituted against Borrower under any state or federal law, and Borrower has taken no action to institute such a proceeding, and (ii) Borrower’s Board of Directors and senior officers are actively engaged in marketing and selling the Intellectual Property Collateral (as that term is defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) for consideration that is not less than the fair market value of such Intellectual Property Collateral, and (iii) Borrower is otherwise attempting to operate its business in the ordinary course, Lender shall refrain from exercising any of its rights and remedies under Section 9.1 of this Agreement and under Section 8 of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral for one hundred twenty (120) days following an Event of Default under this Agreement or other extension as agreed to by the parties in good faith. In the event such Event of Default has not been cured by Borrower during such period to Lender’s sole satisfaction, or waived by Lender in its sole discretion, Lender shall be entitled to proceed immediately with the exercise of any and all rights and remedies Lender may have with respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral whether arising under this Agreement, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement or applicable law.

 

10. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION

 

10.1 Demand; Protest.

(b) Survival; Defense. The obligations in this Section 10.3 shall survive payment of all other Obligations. At the election of any Indemnified Person, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Person’s sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.

[In form and substance acceptable to Lender in its sole reasonable discretion]

 

 

Account Numbers:    3300093205
     8860-00838

 

 

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

Customer:    HemoSense, Inc.
Creditor:    See attached Exhibit C
Date:    March 5, 2004

 

This Deposit Account Control Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the above date between Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”), Creditor identified above (“Creditor”), and Customer identified above (“Customer”).

 

All parties agree as follows:

 

1. Deposit Account. Bank maintains one or more demand, time, savings, passbook, certificates of deposit or other similar accounts that are identified above in which Customer has an interest. The referenced account(s) is (are) subject to the Bank’s Deposit Agreement Disclosure Statement, unless specifically altered by this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Deposit Account constitutes a “Deposit Account” within the meaning of Section 9102 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California (“UCC”) and Bank is a “Bank” within the meaning of Section 9102 of the UCC. The provisions of this Agreement constitute “Control” over the Deposit Account within the meaning of Section 9104 of the UCC.

 

2. Security Interests. Pursuant to a security agreement or similar agreement identified in Exhibit A hereto (“Security Agreement”), Customer has granted to Creditor a lien on and security interest in the above account(s) and in all cash, funds, items, instruments and any other amounts now or later deposited into or held therein (collectively, the “Deposit Account”). Bank acknowledges the lien on and security interest in the Deposit Account granted by Customer to Creditor. With respect to Bank’s rights pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Customer has granted to Bank a security interest in the Deposit Account, or Bank has a lien or right of setoff under the UCC or other laws applicable to the Deposit Account. Creditor acknowledges the Bank’s lien or right of setoff on the Deposit Account under the UCC or other laws applicable to the Deposit Account and/or the security interest in the Deposit Account granted by Customer to Bank. Customer hereby ratifies and confirms the security interests and/or liens and/or rights of setoff it has granted in the Deposit Account to Bank and Creditor.

 

3. Other Deposit Control Agreements. Bank has entered into Deposit Account Control Agreements with the parties listed on Exhibit A attached hereto. Customer covenants and agrees that it will not enter into a deposit control agreement with any other party without Creditor’s prior written consent. Bank agrees that it will not enter into a deposit control agreement with any other party with respect to the Deposit Account without Creditor’s prior written consent.

 

4. Customer’s Rights in Deposit Account. For purposes of perfection under the UCC of Creditor’s security interest in the Deposit Account(s), Creditor has control over the Deposit Account(s), provided that until Bank receives a Notice of Exclusive Control (as

 

SVB Deposit Account Control Agreement 11/01/2003

   1


described and set forth below), Customer will be entitled to draw items on and otherwise to withdraw or direct the disposition of funds from the Deposit Account. So long as this Agreement is in effect, Customer may not close the Deposit Account without Creditor’s prior written consent. Bank may close Customer’s Deposit Account in accordance with Bank’s business practices and as required by applicable law. Customer will notify Creditor if Bank closes Customer’s Deposit Account.

 

5. Creditor’s Control of Deposit Account. Except as permitted in section 6 of this Agreement, and except as required pursuant to the terms of any other deposit account control agreement executed by Customer and/or referenced in Section 3 and Exhibit A to this Agreement, after Bank receives a Notice of Exclusive Control from Creditor and has had reasonable opportunity to comply with it, but no later than two Business Days (“Business Days” means days which Bank is open to the public for business and are measured in 24 hour increments) after the Notice of Exclusive Control has been validly given (in accordance with Section 13(B) below), Bank and Customer agree that: (a) Bank will comply only with Creditor’s instructions as to the withdrawal or disposition of any funds credited to the Deposit Account, and to any other matters relating to the Deposit Account, without Customer’s further consent, and (b) Bank will not comply with any instructions from Customer concerning the Deposit Account or any funds in the Deposit Account. Creditor agrees that it will not send a Notice of Exclusive Control unless it believes that it is entitled to exercise its rights as to the Deposit Account under the Security Agreement or any of the other documents executed in connection with the Security Agreement. The Notice of Exclusive Control must be in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and must be signed by an authorized representative of Creditor. Creditor’s instructions may include the giving of stop payment orders for any items being presented to the Deposit Account for payment. Bank will be fully entitled to rely upon such instructions from Creditor even if such instructions are contrary to any instructions or demands given by Customer. Customer confirms that Bank should follow instructions from Creditor even if the result of following such instructions is that Bank dishonors items presented for payment from the Deposit Account. Customer further confirms that Bank will have no liability to Customer for wrongful dishonor of such items in following such instructions from Creditor. Bank shall have no duty to inquire or determine whether Customer’s obligations to Creditor are in default, or whether the Creditor is entitled to send a Notice of Exclusive Control.

 

6. Priorities of Security Interests; Rights Reserved by Bank. Creditor agrees that nothing herein subordinates or waives, and that Bank expressly reserves, any and/or all of Bank’s present and future rights (whether described as rights of setoff, banker’s liens, chargeback or otherwise, and whether available to Bank under the law or under any other agreement between Bank and Customer concerning the Deposit Account) with respect to (a) items deposited to the Deposit Account and returned unpaid, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason; (b) overdrafts on the Deposit Account; (c) automated clearing house entries; (d) any provisional credits granted by Bank to the Deposit Account; (e) claims of breach of the Uniform Commercial Code’s transfer or presentment warranties made against Bank in connection with items deposited to the Deposit Account; (f) Bank’s usual and customary charges for services rendered in connection with the Deposit Account; or (g) any lien arising in connection with any loan or other credit relationship between Customer and Bank, which lien shall be subject to the provisions of the Subordination/ Intercreditor Agreement identified in Exhibit A hereto. Creditor agrees that notwithstanding receipt of Creditor’s Notice of Exclusive Control, subject to the terms and obligations in the Subordination/ Intercreditor Agreement listed in Exhibit A, Bank may exercise Bank’s rights and remedies in connection with any liens, security interests or claims it may have in or on the Deposit Account as described in this Section 6.

 

SVB Deposit Account Control Agreement 11/01/2003

   2


7. Statements. At Customer’s expense, Bank will send copies of all statements for the Deposit Account to Creditor at Creditor’s address set forth below Creditor’s signature block at the end of this Agreement. Until this Agreement is terminated, Customer authorizes Bank to disclose to Creditor at Creditor’s request any information concerning Customer’s Deposit Account, including but not limited to the identity of any other party with which Customer and Bank have executed deposit control agreements or similar agreements.

 

8. Returned Items. Bank will pay returned items by debiting the Deposit Account. If at any time after Creditor exercises exclusive control over the Deposit Account (a) funds are not available in the Deposit Account to cover the amount of any returned item, and (b) Customer fails to pay such amount within 15 Business Days of Bank’s written demand therefor, then Creditor agrees that it will pay, within ten (10) Business Days of a written demand by Bank, any amounts owed for a returned item that is not paid in full by Customer up to the amount of the proceeds received by Creditor from the corresponding returned item.

 

9. Indemnity and Hold Harmless of Bank by Customer. Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and damages (each, a “Claim”) asserted by Creditor or any other party (other than an Indemnified Person), including without limitation, any and all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any way related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, including any Claims arising as a result of Bank’s adherence (or alleged failure of adherence) to the foregoing instructions including, without limitation, Claims that allegedly result from Bank’s ceasing, based on this Agreement, to permit withdrawals of or from the Deposit Account or the funds in the Deposit Account or resulting from Bank’s paying over or delivering all or any part of the Deposit Account or the funds in the Deposit Account pursuant to the directions of Creditor; provided that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified to the extent that such Claims result from an Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Customer will indemnify Creditor for any indemnity obligations Creditor owes to Bank under this Agreement.

 

10. Indemnification and Hold Harmless of Bank by Creditor. Creditor hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnified Persons against any and all Claims asserted by Customer or any other party (other than an Indemnified Person), including, without limitation, any and all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising directly out of Bank’s adherence or failure of adherence to Creditor’s instructions in its Notice of Exclusive Control, including, without limitation, any Claim that arises directly out of Bank’s ceasing, based on this Agreement, to permit withdrawals of or from the Deposit Account or the funds in the Deposit Account or resulting from Bank’s paying over or delivering all or any part of the Deposit Account or the funds in the Deposit Account pursuant to Creditor’s instructions in its Notice of Exclusive Control; provided, that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified (a) to the extent that such Claim results from an Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted by Customer if the waiver in Section 11 of this Agreement is enforceable; or (c) any Claim asserted against Bank for Bank’s breach of the Subordination/Intercreditor Agreement identified in Exhibit A. Creditor agrees that it will not hold Indemnified Persons liable for any Claim arising out of or relating to any Indemnified Person’s performance or failure of performance under this Agreement other than those Claims that result directly from the acts or omissions of an Indemnified Person which constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

Warrant No._______________

 

Number of Shares: 142,405, subject to adjustment

Series C-1 Preferred Stock

 

HEMOSENSE, INC.

 

Effective as of March 5, 2004

 

Void after March 5, 2011

 

1. Issuance. This Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) is issued to LIGHTHOUSE CAPITAL PARTNERS IV, L.P. by HEMOSENSE, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter with its successors called the “Company”).

 

2. Purchase Price; Number of Shares. The registered holder of this Warrant (the “Holder”), commencing on the date hereof, is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company, at a price per share of $1.58 (the “Purchase Price”), 142,405 (the “Exercise Quantity”) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Series C-1 Preferred Stock, $0,001 par value (the “Preferred Stock’).

 

On March 1, 2005, the Exercise Quantity shall automatically increase by such additional number of shares as is calculated by dividing (A) two percent (2%) of the Aggregate Advances by (B) the Purchase Price. Holder shall provide the Company with a certificate confirming the Exercise Quantity of the Warrant promptly following March 1,2005.

 

In addition to other terms which may be defined herein, the following terms, as used in this Warrant, shall have the following meanings:

 

(i) “Aggregate Advances” means all Advances made under the Loan Agreement at a given date.

 

(ii) “Loan Agreement” means that certain Loan and Security Agreement No. 3821 dated March 5, 2004 between the Company and Lighthouse Capital Partners V, L.P.

 

Any term not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires, the Purchase Price and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. The person or persons in whose name or names any certificate representing shares of Preferred Stock is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as at the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised with respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.

 

1.


3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by the surrender by the Holder to the Company of any promissory notes or other obligations issued by the Company, with all such notes and obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of surrender, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.

 

4. Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Preferred Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock as is computed using the following formula:

 

X=

   Y(A-B)
        A

 

where: X =

   the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.

            Y =

   the number of shares of Preferred Stock covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

            A =

   the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Preferred Stock, as determined at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

            B =

   the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

 

“Fair Market Value” of a share of Preferred Stock (or fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0,001 par value (the “Common Stock”) if the Preferred Stock has been automatically converted into Common Stock) as of the date that the net issue election is made (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

 

(i) If the net issue election is made in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act (a “Public Offering”), and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering (“Registration Statement”) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible.

 

(ii) If the net issue election is not made in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:

 

(a) If traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing or last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on such exchange or market over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible;

 

(b) If otherwise traded in an over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing ask prices of the Common Stock over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible; and

 

2.


(c) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

5. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.

 

6. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Preferred Stock be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If, upon exercise of this Warrant in its entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 6, be entitled to receive a fractional share of Preferred Stock, then the Company shall issue the next higher number of full shares of Preferred Stock, issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.

 

7. Expiration Bate; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on March 5, 2011, and shall be void thereafter (the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

8. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of its authorized shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit, respectively, the exercise of this Warrant in full and the conversion into shares of Common Stock of all shares of Preferred Stock receivable upon such exercise. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise and/or conversion will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

9. Stock Splits and Dividends. If after the date hereof the Company shall subdivide the Preferred Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Preferred Stock, or issue additional shares of Preferred Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

 

10. Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The other antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock of the Company are set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”), a true and complete copy in its current form which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such rights shall not be restated, amended or modified in any manner which affects the Holder differently than the holders of Series C-1 Preferred without such Holder’s prior written consent. The Company shall promptly provide the Holder hereof with any restatement, amendment or modification to the Articles promptly after the same has been made.

 

11. Mergers and Reclassifications. If after the date hereof the Company shall enter into any Reorganization (as hereinafter defined), this Warrant shall expire and terminate effective as of the closing of such Reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any outstanding warrants to purchase equity securities of the Company are assumed by the successor entity of a Merger (or parent thereof), this Warrant shall also be similarly assumed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence. For the purposes of this Section 11, the term “Reorganization” shall include without limitation any reclassification, capital reorganization or change of the Preferred Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 9 hereof), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation or other business organization (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Preferred Stock), or any

 

3.


sale or conveyance to another corporation or other business organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

12. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Company’s chief financial officer setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

13. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event of:

 

(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or dispose of any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

 

(b) any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, capital reorganization of the Company, consolidation or merger involving the Company (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Preferred Stock), or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets; or

 

(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

THREE. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

FOUR. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and Twenty One Million Three Hundred Forty-Nine Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-Four (21,349,524) shares of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), of which 1,429,566 shares are designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), 3,813,289 shares are designated Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred”) and 16,106,669 shares are designated Series C-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Preferred”). The Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred, and Series C-1 Preferred are collectively referred to herein as the “Preferred

 


Stock.” The Preferred Stock shall have a par value of one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share, and the Common Stock shall have a par value of one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share.

 

The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the Common Stock and Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

A. Dividends. When and as declared by the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”), the holders of Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred, and Series C-1 Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of any funds legally available therefor, dividends at the per share per annum rate of $0.08 for Series A-1 Preferred, $0.13 for Series B-1 Preferred, and $0.13 for Series C-1 Preferred (collectively, the “Dividend Rate”) (as adjusted for any stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares), payable in preference to any payment of any dividend on Common Stock.

The right of the holders of Preferred Stock to receive dividends shall not be cumulative, and no right shall accrue to holders of Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that dividends on such shares are not declared or paid in any prior year.

 

B. Liquidation Preference.

 

1. Initial Series C-1 Preferred Stock Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C-1 Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred or Common Stock, by reason of their ownership thereof, the amount of $1.58 per share for each share of Series C-1 Preferred then held and, in addition, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series C-1 Preferred (the ‘Initial Series C-1 Preference”). If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of their full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of Series C-1 Preferred in proportion to the number of shares of Series C-1 Preferred held by each such holder.

 

2. Management Incentive Pool. After payment or setting apart of payment has been made to the holders of Series C-1 Preferred of the amounts set forth in Section B(1) above, up to $5.5 million payable under the Company’s Management Retention Plan dated as of March 7, 2003 adopted by the Board (the “Management Pool”) shall be set aside for payment pursuant to the terms of the Management Pool.

 

3. After payment or setting apart of payment of the amounts set forth in Section B(1) and B(2), the, the holders of Series C-1 Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders

 

-2-


of Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred or Common Stock, by reason of their ownership thereof, an additional amount of $1.58 per share for each share of Series C-1 Preferred then held. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of this full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of Series C-1 Preferred in proportion to the number of shares of Series C-1 Preferred held by each such holder.

 

4. Series A-1 and Series B-1 Preferred Stock Preference. After payment or setting apart of payment has been made of the amounts set forth in Sections B(1), B(2) and B(3) above, the holders of Series A-1 Preferred and Series B-1 Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the amount of $1.00 per share for each share of Series A-1 Preferred, and $1.58 per share for each share of Series B-1 Preferred then held and, in addition, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred, and Series B-1 Preferred, as applicable. If the remaining assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred, and Series B-1 Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of their full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of Series A-1 Preferred, and Series B-1 Preferred in proportion to the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred and Series B-1 Preferred held by each such holder.

 

5. Common Stock Preference. After payment or setting apart of payment has been made to the holders of Preferred Stock of the amounts set forth in Sections B(1), B(2), B(3) and B(4) above, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, pro rata, up to the next $1,500,000 available for distribution. The holders of Preferred Stock who participated in the distributions in Sections B(1), B(3) and B(4) above shall be prohibited from converting their shares into Common Stock until such distribution to the holders of Common Stock has been made. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Common Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of their full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution (after giving effect to the distributions described in Sections B(1), B(2), B(3) and B(4) above) shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.

 

6. Remaining Assets. After payment or setting apart of payment has been made to the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the amounts set forth in Sections B(1), B(2), B(3), B(4) and B(5) above, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of die Common Stock and Preferred Stock in proportion to each such holder’s aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock into which Preferred Stock held by such holder is at such time convertible.

 

7. Reorganization or Merger. A reorganization or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, in which transaction the Corporation’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction own immediately after such transaction less than 50% of the equity securities of the

 

-3-


surviving corporation or its parent, shall be deemed to be a liquidation within the meaning of this Section 4B.

 

8. Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Corporation distributed to shareholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation are in a form other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined by the Board, except that any securities to be distributed to stockholders in a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation shall be valued as follows:

 

a. The method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows:

 

(i) if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market (or a similar quotation system), then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution;

 

(ii) if the securities are then actively traded over-the-counter, then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and

 

(iii) if there is no active public market for the securities, then the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

b. The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount, as determined in good faith by the Board, from the market value (as determined in subsections (a)(i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section B(6)) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof.

 

C. Conversion. The holders of Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:

 

1. Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Issuance Price (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Issuance Price” shall be $1.00 for the Series A-1 Preferred, $1.58 for the Series B-1 Preferred, and $1.58 for the Series C-1 Preferred. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $1.00 for the Series A-1 Preferred, $1.58 for the Series B-1 Preferred, and $1.58 for the Series C-1 Preferred, subject to adjustment as provided below. The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Preferred Stock is convertible is hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Rate” of that series of Preferred Stock (collectively, “Preferred Stock Conversion Rate”).

 

2. Automatic Conversion.

 

a. Conversion Upon a Qualified Initial Public Offering. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering

 

-4-


pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock by the Corporation to the public with a price of at least $7.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) and net proceeds to the Corporation in excess of $15,000,000 (a “Qualified IPO”).

 

b. Conversion Upon Election. At any time upon the written consent by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted into Common Stock basis, all shares of each series of the Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Preferred Stock Conversion Rate applicable to that series.

 

3. Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board. For such purpose, all shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder of Preferred Stock shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section C(2) above, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, and provided further that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, as determined pursuant to Section C(5). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted or, in the case of automatic conversion, on the date of closing of the Qualified IPO, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. Any shares of Preferred Stock converted pursuant to this Section C shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued by the Corporation.

 

-5-


4. Adjustments to Conversion Price of Preferred Stock for Dilutive Issues.

 

a. Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section C(4), the following definitions shall apply:

 

(i) “Options” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

 

(ii) “Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which the first share of the applicable series of Preferred Stock was first issued, as appropriate.

 

(iii) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than the Common Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

 

(iv) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section C(4)(b), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation, other than (each, an “Excluded Issuance”):

 

(A) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock;

 

(B) up to 2,750,000 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock (or related Options) issued from and after March 4, 1997 to employees, officers, consultants or other persons performing services for the Corporation pursuant to any stock option or incentive ownership plan or arrangement approved by the Board;

 

(C) shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to financial institutions in connection with the extension of credit to the Corporation or in connection with the lease of equipment approved by the Board;

 

(D) up to 115,000 shares issued upon the exercise of warrants held by Innovative Medical Product Consultants, GmbH as of the date hereof or issuable pursuant to that certain Non-Exclusive Sales Representative and Services Agreement dated November 12, 2002;

 

(E) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued pursuant to a Qualified IPO; and

 

(F) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization by the Corporation.

 

b. Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue any Options or Convertible Securities (or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities), then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability and without regard to any provisions contained therein for a

 

-6-


subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue (or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date); provided, however, that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section C(4)(d)) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred, Series A-1 Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred, Series C Preferred, or Series C-1 Preferred, as applicable, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue (or such record date, as the case may be); and provided further that no such adjustment shall have the effect of increasing me Conversion Price existing immediately prior to such adjustment or increasing the conversion price in an amount which exceeds the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the first adjustment pursuant to this Section C(4). In any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

 

(i) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

 

(ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation or in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

 

(iii) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities that shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

 

(A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities, whether or not converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and

 

(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of

 

-7-


Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

 

(iv) no readjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount that exceeds the lower of (A) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date and (B) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date; and

 

(v) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 90 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options.

 

c. Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section C(4)(b)) after the Original Issue Date without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price for the applicable series of Preferred Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, and in such event, the Conversion Price for that series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock) plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock) plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued.

 

d. Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section C(4), the consideration received by the Corporation for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed issued pursuant to Section C(4)(b)) shall be computed as follows:

 

(i) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

 

(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

 

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board irrespective of any accounting treatment;

 

-8-


(C) insofar as it consists of securities and the value of such securities is not determinable by reference to a separate agreement, then the value shall be determined in accordance with Section B(6)(a); and

 

(D) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued (or deemed issued pursuant to Section C(4)(b)) together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration that covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

(ii) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section C(4)(b), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

 

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by

 

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

5. Fractional Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Preferred Stock as determined by the Board. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock of each holder at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

 

6. Additional Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

a. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, by a subdivision or split of shares of Common Stock or otherwise, then, on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

-9-


b. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, on the effective date of such combination or consolidation, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

c. In the event the Corporation shall declare a cash dividend upon its Common Stock payable otherwise than out of retained earnings or shall distribute to holders of its Common Stock shares of its capital stock (other than Common Stock), stock or other securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding options to purchase and rights to subscribe for Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), then, in each such case, each holder of Preferred Stock shall, concurrently with the distribution to holders of Common Stock, receive a like distribution based upon the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s Preferred Stock is then convertible.

 

d. In the event, at any time after the date hereof, of any capital reorganization, any reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and which does not result in any change in the Common Stock) or other disposition of the stock of the Corporation, the shares of Preferred Stock shall, after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise to which such holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition such holder had converted its shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The provisions of this Section C(6)(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or other dispositions.

 

e. All calculations under this Section C(6) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.

 

7. Minimal Adjustments. No adjustment to the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of less than $0.01. Any adjustment of less than $0.01 that is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment that, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of $0.01 or more in the Conversion Price.

 

8. No Impairment. The Corporation shall not, through any reorganization, recapitalization, 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 hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section C and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of Preferred Stock

 

-10-


against impairment. This provision shall not restrict the Corporation’s right to amend its Certificate of Incorporation with the requisite stockholder consent.

 

9. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Rate applicable to any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section C, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) all such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Rate at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that would be received at the time upon the conversion of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock.

 

10. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

11. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

 

12. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Article 4 to be given to any holder of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at such holder’s address appearing on the Corporation’s books.

 

D. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holder of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such holder, and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock could be converted at the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited. Fractional votes by the holders of Preferred Stock shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights shall (after aggregating all shares of Common

 

-11-


Stock into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) be rounded to the nearest whole number. The votes of all shares of Common Stock and each series of Preferred Stock shall be counted together with all other shares of stock of the Corporation having general voting power and not counted separately as a class, except with respect to those matters required by law to be submitted to a class vote and except as otherwise set forth herein. Holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

E. Redemption.

 

1. The Corporation shall redeem, at any time after October 31, 2007 and within thirty (30) days following the receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, all, or such lesser percentage as is specified in such written notice, of the issued, outstanding and unconverted shares of Preferred Stock held by such holders as of the date on which redemption is first requested, including any shares not redeemed in a prior year (or the maximum amount the Corporation may lawfully redeem, whichever is less) by paying in cash or cancellation of indebtedness to the Corporation therefor a sum per share of Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock split or combination of or dividend payable in Preferred Stock) equal to $1.00 for Series A-1 Preferred, $1.58 for Series B-1 Preferred, and $1.58 for Series C-1 Preferred, together with all declared, but unpaid, dividends with respect to such share to the date of the redemption request.

 

2. The Corporation may redeem, at any time following the receipt by the Corporation of the written consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, all, or such lesser percentage as is specified in such written notice, of the issued, outstanding and unconverted shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder as of the date on which redemption is first requested, including any shares not redeemed in a prior year (or the maximum amount the Corporation may lawfully redeem, whichever is less), by paying in cash or cancellation of indebtedness to the Corporation therefor a sum per share of Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock split or combination of or dividend payable in Preferred Stock) equal to $1.00 for Series A-1 Preferred, $1.58 for Series B-1 Preferred, and $1.58 for Series C-1 Preferred, together with all declared, but unpaid, dividends with respect to such share to the date of the redemption request. Any redemption of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section E(2) shall be made on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed by such holders.

 

3. At least twenty (20) but no more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Date”), written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) shall be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day preceding the day on which notice is given) of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for such holder or given by the holder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal executive office of the Corporation is located, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected, specifying the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder, the Redemption Date, the price per share to be paid (the “Redemption Price”), the place at which payment may be obtained and the date on which such holder’s rights as a holder of such shares

 

-12-


terminate, and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed. Except as otherwise provided herein, on or after the Redemption Date, each holder of Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such shares, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In the event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

 

4. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of such shares as holders of the Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price without interest after the Redemption Date upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. Subject to the rights of each series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, if, in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section E(2) only, the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Preferred Stock required to be redeemed on such date, those funds that are legally available will be used first, to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Series C-1 Preferred ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed, and second, to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred ratably among the holders of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred to be redeemed. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series C-1 Preferred to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, then the entire amount of such funds shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Series C-1 Preferred ratably among such shares of Series C-1 Preferred. If, in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section E(1), the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Preferred Stock required to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, those funds that are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

 

The shares of Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the powers, preferences and rights provided herein. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, at any time after the time when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of the Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.

 

-13-


F. Protective Provisions.

6. effect a reclassification or recapitalization of any outstanding shares of securities of the Corporation into shares having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on a parity with any series of the Preferred Stock; or

8. declare or pay any dividends (other than dividends payable solely in shares of its own Common Stock) on or declare or make any other distribution (other man Excluded Issuances), directly or indirectly, on account of any snares of Common Stock now or hereafter outstanding; or

 

9. change the authorized number of members of its Board of Directors; or

 

10. acquire or invest in any other business; or

 

11. incur material indebtedness (except in connection with equipment lease, inventory, receivables or similar types of financing in the ordinary course of business); or

 

12. issue any equity securities other than Excluded Issuances; or

 

13. redeem any securities of the Corporation, except as set forth herein.

EIGHT. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

 

NINE. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide.

TEN. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Corporation may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or his or her testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article 10, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article 10, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article 10 in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article 10, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

 

ELEVEN. Advance notice of new business and stockholder nominations for the election of directors shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

TWELVE. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by the surrender by the Holder to the Company of any promissory notes or other obligations issued by the Company, with all such notes and obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of surrender, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.

 

4. Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Preferred Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock as is computed using the following formula:

 

X=

  

Y(A-B)

  

     A

 

where: X =

   the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.

            Y =

   the number of shares of Preferred Stock covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

            A =

   the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Preferred Stock, as determined at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

            B =

   the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4.

 

“Fair Market Value” of a share of Preferred Stock (or fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0,001 par value (the “Common Stock”) if the Preferred Stock has been automatically converted into Common Stock) as of the date that the net issue election is made (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

 

(i) If the net issue election is made in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act (a “Public Offering”), and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering (“‘Registration Statement”) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible.

 

(ii) If the net issue election is not made in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:

 

(a) If traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing or last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on such exchange or market over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible;

 

(b) If otherwise traded in an over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing ask prices of the Common Stock over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible; and

 

2.


(c) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

5. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.

 

6. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Preferred Stock be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If, upon exercise of this Warrant in its entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 6, be entitled to receive a fractional share of Preferred Stock, then the Company shall issue the next higher number of full shares of Preferred Stock, issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.

 

7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on March 5, 2011, and shall be void thereafter (the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

8. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of its authorized shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit, respectively, the exercise of this Warrant in full and the conversion into shares of Common Stock of all shares of Preferred Stock receivable upon such exercise. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise and/or conversion will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

9. Stock Splits and Dividends. If after the date hereof the Company shall subdivide the Preferred Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Preferred Stock, or issue additional shares of Preferred Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

 

10. Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The other antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock of the Company are set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”), a true and complete copy in its current form which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such rights shall not be restated, amended or modified in any manner which affects the Holder differently than the holders of Series C-1 Preferred without such Holder’s prior written consent. The Company shall promptly provide the Holder hereof with any restatement, amendment or modification to the Articles promptly after the same has been made.

 

11. Mergers and Reclassifications. If after the date hereof the Company shall enter into any Reorganization (as hereinafter defined), this Warrant shall expire and terminate effective as of the closing of such Reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any outstanding warrants to purchase equity securities of the Company are assumed by the successor entity of a Merger (or parent thereof), this Warrant shall also be similarly assumed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence. For the purposes of this Section 11, the term “Reorganization” shall include without limitation any reclassification, capital reorganization or change of the Preferred Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 9 hereof), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation or other business organization (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Preferred Stock), or any

 

3.


sale or conveyance to another corporation or other business organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

12. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Company’s chief financial officer setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

13. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event of:

 

(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or dispose of any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

 

(b) any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, capital reorganization of the Company, consolidation or merger involving the Company (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Preferred Stock), or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets; or

 

(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

 

then in each such event the Company will provide or cause to be provided to the Holder a written notice thereof. Such notice shall be provided at least twenty (20) business days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.

 

14. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. This Warrant is issued and delivered by the Company and accepted by each Holder on the basis of the following representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company:

A. The name of the Corporation is HemoSense, Inc. The corporation was originally incorporated under the name “CardioSense, Inc.” and the date of filing the original Certificate of Incorporation of this Corporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was March 4, 1997.

C. The Certificate of Incorporation of this Corporation is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

ONE. The name of the Corporation is HemoSense, Inc. (the “Corporation”).

THREE. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

FOUR. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and Twenty One Million Three Hundred Forty-Nine Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-Four (21,349,524) shares of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), of which 1,429,566 shares are designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), 3,813,289 shares are designated Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred”) and 16,106,669 shares are designated Series C-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Preferred”). The Series A-l Preferred, Series B-l Preferred, and Series C-l Preferred are collectively referred to herein as the “Preferred Stock.”

 


The Preferred Stock shall have a par value of one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share, and the Common Stock shall have a par value of one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share.

 

The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the Common Stock and Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

A. Dividends. When and as declared by the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”), the holders of Series A-l Preferred, Series B-l Preferred, and Series C-l Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of any funds legally available therefor, dividends at the per share per annum rate of $0.08 for Series A-l Preferred, $0.13 for Series B-l Preferred, and $0.13 for Series C-l Preferred (collectively, the “Dividend Rate”) (as adjusted for any stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares), payable in preference to any payment of any dividend on Common Stock.

The right of the holders of Preferred Stock to receive dividends shall not be cumulative, and no right shall accrue to holders of Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that dividends on such shares are not declared or paid in any prior year.

 

B. Liquidation Preference.

 

1. Initial Series C-l Preferred Stock Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C-l Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Series A-l Preferred, Series B-l Preferred or Common Stock, by reason of their ownership thereof, the amount of $1.58 per share for each share of Series C-l Preferred then held and, in addition, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series C-l Preferred (the ‘Initial Series C-l Preference”). If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series C-l Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of their full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of Series C-l Preferred in proportion to the number of shares of Series C-l Preferred held by each such holder.

 

2. Management Incentive Pool. After payment or setting apart of payment has been made to the holders of Series C-l Preferred of the amounts set forth in Section B(l) above, up to $5.5 million payable under the Company’s Management Retention Plan dated as of March 7, 2003 adopted by the Board (the “Management Pool”) shall be set aside for payment pursuant to the terms of the Management Pool.

-2-

If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of this full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of Series C-1 Preferred in proportion to the number of shares of Series C-1 Preferred held by each such holder.

 

4. Series A-1 and Series B-1 Preferred Stock Preference.

If the remaining assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred, and Series B-1 Preferred are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of their full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of Series A-1 Preferred, and Series B-1 Preferred in proportion to the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred and Series B-1 Preferred held by each such holder.

 

5. Common Stock Preference. After payment or setting apart of payment has been made to the holders of Preferred Stock of the amounts set forth in Sections B(1), B(2), B(3) and B(4) above, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, pro rata, up to the next $1,500,000 available for distribution. The holders of Preferred Stock who participated in the distributions in Sections B(1), B(3) and B(4) above shall be prohibited from converting their shares into Common Stock until such distribution to the holders of Common Stock has been made. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Common Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of their full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution (after giving effect to the distributions described in Sections B(1), B(2), B(3) and B(4) above) shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.

 

6. Remaining Assets. After payment or setting apart of payment has been made to the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the amounts set forth in Sections B(1), B(2), B(3), B(4) and B(5) above, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock in proportion to each such holder’s aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock into which Preferred Stock held by such holder is at such time convertible.

 

7. Reorganization or Merger. A reorganization or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, in which transaction the Corporation’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction own immediately after such transaction less than 50% of the equity securities of the

 

-3-


surviving corporation or its parent, shall be deemed to be a liquidation within the meaning of this Section 4B.

 

8. Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Corporation distributed to shareholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation are in a form other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined by the Board, except that any securities to be distributed to stockholders in a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation shall be valued as follows:

 

a. The method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows:

 

(i) if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market (or a similar quotation system), then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution;

 

(ii) if the securities are then actively traded over-the-counter, then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and

 

(iii) if there is no active public market for the securities, then the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

b. The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount, as determined in good faith by the Board, from the market value (as determined in subsections (a)(i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section B(6)) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof.

 

C. Conversion. The holders of Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:

 

1. Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Issuance Price (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Issuance Price” shall be $1.00 for the Series A-1 Preferred, $1.58 for the Series B-1 Preferred, and $1.58 for the Series C-1 Preferred. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $1.00 for the Series A-1 Preferred, $1.58 for the Series B-1 Preferred, and $1.58 for the Series C-1 Preferred, subject to adjustment as provided below. The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Preferred Stock is convertible is hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Rate” of that series of Preferred Stock (collectively, “Preferred Stock Conversion Rate”).

 

2. Automatic Conversion.

 

a. Conversion Upon a Qualified Initial Public Offering. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering

 

-4-


pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock by the Corporation to the public with a price of at least $7.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) and net proceeds to the Corporation in excess of $15,000,000 (a “Qualified IPO”).

 

b. Conversion Upon Election. At any time upon the written consent by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted into Common Stock basis, all shares of each series of the Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Preferred Stock Conversion Rate applicable to that series.

 

3. Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board. For such purpose, all shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder of Preferred Stock shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section C(2) above, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, and provided further that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, as determined pursuant to Section C(5). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted or, in the case of automatic conversion, on the date of closing of the Qualified IPO, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. Any shares of Preferred Stock converted pursuant to this Section C shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued by the Corporation.

 

-5-


4. Adjustments to Conversion Price of Preferred Stock for Dilutive Issues.

 

a. Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section C(4), the following definitions shall apply:

 

(i) “Options” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

 

(ii) “Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which the first share of the applicable series of Preferred Stock was first issued, as appropriate.

 

(iii) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than the Common Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

 

(iv) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section C(4)(b), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation, other than (each, an “Excluded Issuance”):

 

(A) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock;

 

(B) up to 2,750,000 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock (or related Options) issued from and after March 4, 1997 to employees, officers, consultants or other persons performing services for the Corporation pursuant to any stock option or incentive ownership plan or arrangement approved by the Board;

 

(C) shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to financial institutions in connection with the extension of credit to the Corporation or in connection with the lease of equipment approved by the Board;

 

(D) up to 115,000 shares issued upon the exercise of warrants held by Innovative Medical Product Consultants, GmbH as of the date hereof or issuable pursuant to that certain Non-Exclusive Sales Representative and Services Agreement dated November 12, 2002;

 

(E) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued pursuant to a Qualified IPO; and

 

(F) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization, by the Corporation.

 

b. Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue any Options or Convertible Securities (or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities), then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability and without regard to any provisions contained therein for a

 

-6-


subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue (or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date); provided, however, that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section C(4)(d)) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred, Series A-l Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series B-l Preferred, Series C Preferred, or Series C-l Preferred, as applicable, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue (or such record date, as the case may be); and provided further that no such adjustment shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price existing immediately prior to such adjustment or increasing the conversion price in an amount which exceeds the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the first adjustment pursuant to this Section C(4). In any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

 

(i) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

 

(ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation or in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

 

(iii) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities that shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

 

(A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities, whether or not converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and

 

(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of

 

-7-


Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

 

(iv) no readjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount that exceeds the lower of (A) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date and (B) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date; and

 

(v) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 90 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options.

 

c. Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section C(4)(b)) after the Original Issue Date without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price for the applicable series of Preferred Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, and in such event, the Conversion Price for that series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock) plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock) plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued.

 

d. Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section C(4), the consideration received by the Corporation for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed issued pursuant to Section C(4)(b)) shall be computed as follows:

 

(i) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

 

(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

 

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board irrespective of any accounting treatment;

 

-8-


(C) insofar as it consists of securities and the value of such securities is not determinable by reference to a separate agreement, then the value shall be determined in accordance with Section B(6)(a); and

 

(D) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued (or deemed issued pursuant to Section C(4)(b)) together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration that covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

(ii) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section C(4)(b), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

 

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by

 

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

5. Fractional Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Preferred Stock as determined by the Board. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock of each holder at the time converting into Common Stock and , the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

 

6. Additional Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

a. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, by a subdivision or split of shares of Common Stock or otherwise, then, on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

-9-


b. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, on the effective date of such combination or consolidation, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

c. In the event the Corporation shall declare a cash dividend upon its Common Stock payable otherwise than out of retained earnings or shall distribute to holders of its Common Stock shares of its capital stock (other than Common Stock), stock or other securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding options to purchase and rights to subscribe for Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), then, in each such case, each holder of Preferred Stock shall, concurrently with the distribution to holders of Common Stock, receive a like distribution based upon the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s Preferred Stock is then convertible.

 

d. In the event, at any time after the date hereof, of any capital reorganization, any reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and which does not result in any change in the Common Stock) or other disposition of the stock of the Corporation, the shares of Preferred Stock shall, after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise to which such holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition such holder had converted its shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The provisions of this Section C(6)(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or other dispositions.

 

e. All calculations under this Section C(6) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.

 

7. Minimal Adjustments. No adjustment to the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of less than $0.01. Any adjustment of less than $0.01 that is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment that, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of $0.01 or more in the Conversion Price.

 

8. No Impairment. The Corporation shall not, through any reorganization, recapitalization, 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 hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section C and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of Preferred Stock

 

-10-


against impairment. This provision shall not restrict the Corporation’s right to amend its Certificate of Incorporation with the requisite stockholder consent.

 

9. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Rate applicable to any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section C, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) all such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Rate at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that would be received at the time upon the conversion of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock.

 

10. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

11. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

 

12. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Article 4 to be given to any holder of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at such holder’s address appearing on the Corporation’s books.

 

D. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holder of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such holder, and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock could be converted at the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited. Fractional votes by the holders of Preferred Stock shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights shall (after aggregating all shares of Common

 

-11-


Stock into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) be rounded to the nearest whole number. The votes of all shares of Common Stock and each series of Preferred Stock shall be counted together with all other shares of stock of the Corporation having general voting power and not counted separately as a class, except with respect to those matters required by law to be submitted to a class vote and except as otherwise set forth herein. Holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

E. Redemption.

 

1. The Corporation shall redeem, at any time after October 31, 2007 and within thirty (30) days following the receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, all, or such lesser percentage as is specified in such written notice, of the issued, outstanding and unconverted shares of Preferred Stock held by such holders as of the date on which redemption is first requested, including any shares not redeemed in a prior year (or the maximum amount the Corporation may lawfully redeem, whichever is less) by paying in cash or cancellation of indebtedness to the Corporation therefor a sum per share of Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock split or combination of or dividend payable in Preferred Stock) equal to $1.00 for Series A-1 Preferred, $1.58 for Series B-1 Preferred, and $1.58 for Series C-1 Preferred, together with all declared, but unpaid, dividends with respect to such share to the date of the redemption request.

 

2. The Corporation may redeem, at any time following the receipt by the Corporation of the written consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, all, or such lesser percentage as is specified in such written notice, of the issued, outstanding and unconverted shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder as of the date on which redemption is first requested, including any shares not redeemed in a prior year (or the maximum amount the Corporation may lawfully redeem, whichever is less), by paying in cash or cancellation of indebtedness to the Corporation therefor a sum per share of Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock split or combination of or dividend payable in Preferred Stock) equal to $1.00 for Series A-1 Preferred, $1.58 for Series B-1 Preferred, and $1.58 for Series C-1 Preferred, together with all declared, but unpaid, dividends with respect to such share to the date of the redemption request. Any redemption of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section E(2) shall be made on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed by such holders.

 

3. At least twenty (20) but no more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Date”), written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) shall be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day preceding the day on which notice is given) of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for such holder or given by the holder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal executive office of the Corporation is located, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected, specifying the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder, the Redemption Date, the price per share to be paid (the “Redemption Price”), the place at which payment may be obtained and the date on which such holder’s rights as a holder of such shares

 

-12-


terminate, and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed. Except as otherwise provided herein, on or after the Redemption Date, each holder of Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such shares, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In the event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

 

4. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of such shares as holders of the Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price without interest after the Redemption Date upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. Subject to the rights of each series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, if, in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section E(2) only, the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Preferred Stock required to be redeemed on such date, those funds that are legally available will be used first, to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Series C-1 Preferred ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed, and second, to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred ratably among the holders of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred to be redeemed. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series C-1 Preferred to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, then the entire amount of such funds shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Series C-1 Preferred ratably among such shares of Series C-1 Preferred. If, in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section E(1), the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Preferred Stock required to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, those funds that are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

 

The shares of Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the powers, preferences and rights provided herein. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, at any time after the time when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of the Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.

 

-13-


F. Protective Provisions. In addition to any other class vote that may be required by law, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock voting as a single class:

 

1. alter or change the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Preferred Stock; or

 

2. increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock; or

 

3. create any new class or series of securities (or any securities convertible into securities, or grant options or similar rights to acquire securities) having any rights, preferences, or privileges senior to or on a parity with any series of the Preferred Stock; or

 

4. amend, restate, modify or supercede the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation (including, without limitation, to change the number of directors of the Corporation); or

 

5. authorize a liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, recapitalization or reorganization of the Corporation, or a sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation if, as a result of such merger or consolidation, the stockholders of the Corporation shall own less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation; or

 

6. effect a reclassification or recapitalization of any outstanding shares of securities of the Corporation into shares having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on a parity with any series of the Preferred Stock; or

 

7. repurchase any shares of Preferred Stock except as set forth herein; or

 

8. declare or pay any dividends (other than dividends payable solely in shares of its own Common Stock) on or declare or make any other distribution (other than Excluded Issuances), directly or indirectly, on account of any shares of Common Stock now or hereafter outstanding; or

 

9. change the authorized number of members of its Board of Directors; or

 

10. acquire or invest in any other business; or

 

11. incur material indebtedness (except in connection with equipment lease, inventory, receivables or similar types of financing in the ordinary course of business); or

 

12. issue any equity securities other than Excluded Issuances; or

 

13. redeem any securities of the Corporation, except as set forth herein.

 

G. Residual Rights. All rights accruing to the outstanding shares of capital stock not expressly provided for to the contrary herein shall be vested in the Common Stock.

 

FIVE. The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

 

-14-


SIX. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board, subject to any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

SEVEN. The number of directors which will constitute the whole Board shall be as specified in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

EIGHT. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

 

NINE. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provisions contained in the statutes) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

TEN. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Corporation may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or his or her testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article 10, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article 10, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article 10 in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article 10, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

 

ELEVEN. Advance notice of new business and stockholder nominations for the election of directors shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

TWELVE. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

(a) Debtor is now the sole owner of the Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Debtor to its customers in the ordinary and normal course of business as now conducted;

 

(b) Performance of this Security Agreement does not conflict with or result in a breach of any agreement to which Debtor is a party or by which Debtor is bound, except to the extent that certain intellectual property agreements prohibit the assignment of the rights thereunder to a third party without the licensor’s or other party’s consent and this Security Agreement is deemed an assignment under such agreements;

 

(c) During the term of this Security Agreement, Debtor will not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise encumber any interest in the Collateral, except for (i) non-exclusive licenses granted by Debtor in the ordinary and normal course of its business as now conducted or as set forth in this Security Agreement and (ii) subject to Debtor’s execution of appropriate documents, in form acceptable to Lender, to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s interest in the Collateral, transfers to affiliates of Debtor (iii) exclusive licenses with respect to certain geographies outside the United States and granted in the ordinary course of business and (iv) exclusive licenses in fields of use that are not related to Borrower’s primary business;

 

(d) To its knowledge, each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Collateral violates the rights of any third party;

 

(e) Debtor shall promptly advise Lender of any material changes in the composition of the Collateral, including but not limited to any subsequent ownership right of Debtor in or to any Copyright, Patent or Trademark not specified in this Security Agreement;

 

(f) Debtor shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks material to Borrower’s business, (ii) use its best efforts to detect infringements of the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks and promptly advise Lender in writing of material infringements detected and

 

2


(iii) not allow any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks material to Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless Debtor determines that reasonable business practices suggest that abandonment is appropriate;

 

(g) Debtor shall promptly register the most recent version of Debtor’s material Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks if not so already registered, as Lender may reasonably request from time to time based on its review of the Quarterly Report (as hereinafter defined) and shall, from time to time, execute and file such other instruments, and take such further actions as Lender may reasonably request from time to time to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s interest in the Collateral;

 

(h) To its knowledge, except for, and upon, the filings with, as applicable, (1) the United States Patent and Trademark office with respect to the Patents and Trademarks, (2) the Register of Copyrights with respect to the Copyrights and (3) the UCC Division of the California Secretary of State, necessary to perfect the security interests created hereunder, and except as has been already made or obtained, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States governmental authority or United States regulatory body is required either (a) for the grant by Debtor of the security interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Security Agreement by Debtor in the United States or (b) for the perfection in the United States or the exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies hereunder;

 

(i) All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to Lender by or on behalf of Debtor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete in all material respects;

 

(j) Debtor shall not enter into any agreement that would materially impair or conflict with Debtor’s obligations hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Debtor shall not permit the inclusion in any material contract to which it becomes a party of any provisions that could or might in any way prevent the creation of a security interest in Debtor’s rights and interests in any property included within the definition of the Collateral acquired under such contracts; and

 

(k) Upon any executive officer of Debtor obtaining actual knowledge thereof, Debtor will promptly notify Lender in writing of any event that materially adversely affects the value of any Collateral, the ability of Debtor to dispose of any Collateral or the rights and remedies of Lender in relation thereto, including the levy of any legal process against any of the Collateral.

 

4. LENDERS RIGHTS. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take, at Debtor’s sole expense, any actions that Debtor is required under this Security Agreement to take but which Debtor fails to take, after fifteen (15) days’ written notice to Debtor. Debtor shall reimburse and indemnify Lender for all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the reasonable exercise of its rights under this Section 4.

 

5. INSPECTION RIGHTS. Debtor hereby grants to Lender and its employees, representatives and agent’s the right to visit, during reasonable hours upon prior reasonable written notice to Debtor, any of Debtor’s plants and facilities that manufacture, install or store products (or that have done so during the prior six-month period) that are sold utilizing any of the Collateral, and to inspect the products and quality control records relating thereto upon reasonable written notice to Debtor and as often as may be reasonably requested.

 

6. FURTHER ASSURANCES; ATTORNEY IN FACT.

 

(a) On a quarterly basis, Debtor agrees to deliver to Lender a report, in form acceptable to Lender and certified by an officer of Debtor, which lists all Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks that are material to the operation of Debtor’s business on an on-going basis, and in which Lender does not already have a perfected security interest (the “Quarterly Report”); provided, however, Debtor may provide a general description of the Copyrights by type. Based upon review of the Quarterly Report, Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion, identify which

 

3


Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks it deems material to the operation of Debtor’s business on an on-going basis or the value of the Collateral.

 

(b) On a continuing basis, Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places in the United States, all such instruments, including appropriate financing and continuation statements and collateral agreements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Register of Copyrights, and take all such action as may reasonably be necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by Lender, to perfect Lender’s security interest in all Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks, which Lender reasonably identifies pursuant to Section 6(a) above as material to the operation of Debtor’s business on an on-going basis or the value of the Collateral, and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Security Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Lender the grant or perfection of a security interest in all Collateral.

 

(c) Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor, from time to time in Lender’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including (i) to modify, in its reasonable discretion, this Security Agreement without first obtaining Debtor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibit A, Exhibit B or Exhibit C hereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any material right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by Debtor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which Debtor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest, (ii) to file, in its reasonable discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor where permitted by law and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party to the extent permitted under the California Uniform Commercial Code.

 

7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Security Agreement:

 

(a) An Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; or

 

(b) Debtor breaches any warranty or agreement in any material respect made by Debtor in this Security Agreement and, as to any breach that is capable of cure, Debtor fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such breach if notice thereof has been given to Debtor.

 

8. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise all the remedies of a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limitation, the right to require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and any tangible property in which Lender has a security interest and to make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender. Lender shall have a nonexclusive, royalty free license to use the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Lender to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Debtor will pay any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the exercise of any of Lender’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, any expense incurred in disposing of the Collateral. All of Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral shall be cumulative.

 

9. INDEMNITY. Debtor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by any of them as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to transactions between Lender and Debtor, whether under this Security Agreement or otherwise

 

4


(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender and its officers employees and agents.

 

10. RELEASE. At such time as Debtor shall completely satisfy all of the obligations secured hereunder, Lender shall execute and deliver to Debtor all deeds, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to release the security interest granted hereunder, subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made by Lender pursuant hereto.

 

11. NO FAILURE OR DELAY. No failure or delay on the part of Lender, in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof.

 

12. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If any action relating to this Security Agreement is brought by either party hereto against the other party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements.

 

13. AMENDMENTS. This Security Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by Lender and Debtor.

 

14. COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Each such Security Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof or thereof by each of the parties hereto and telephonic notification that such executed counterparts has been received by Debtor and Lender.

 

15. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY WAIVER. This Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Debtor and Lender consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California.

16. CONFLICT. In the event of a conflict between any term and/or provision contained in this Security Agreement with any term and/or provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, the term and/or provision of this Security Agreement shall govern.

RECITALS

 

A. Lender has agreed to lend to Debtor certain funds (collectively, the “Loan”), and Debtor desires to borrow such funds from Lender pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Agreement No. 3821 dated of even date herewith (as the same may be modified, amended, supplemented, restated or superceded from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Terms not defined herein shall the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

 

B. In order to induce Lender to make the Loan, Debtor has agreed to grant a security interest in certain intangible property to Lender for purposes of securing the obligations of Debtor to Lender.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. PATENT MORTGAGE AND GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of all of Debtor’s present or future indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to Lender, including, without limitation, such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Loan Agreement and the other documents executed in connection therewith (as the same may be modified, amended, supplemented, restated or superceded from time to time, collectively, the “Loan Documents”), Debtor hereby grants a security interest and mortgage to Lender, as security, in and to Debtor’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under the following, now or hereafter existing, created, acquired or held by Debtor (all of which shall collectively be called the “Collateral”):

 

(a) Any and all copyright rights, copyright applications, copyright registrations and like protections in each work of authorship and derivative work thereof, whether published or unpublished and whether or not the same also constitutes a trade secret, including, without limitation, those set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the “Copyrights”).

 

(b) Any and all trade secrets, and any and all intellectual property rights in computer software and computer software products;

 

(c) Any and all design rights which may be available to Debtor;

 

(d) All patents, patent applications and like protections including, without limitation, improvements, divisions, continuations, renewals, reissues, extensions and continuations-in-part of the same, including, without limitation, those set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the “Patents”);

 

(e) Any trademark and servicemark rights, whether registered or not, applications to register and registrations of the same and like protections, and the entire goodwill of the business of Debtor connected with and symbolized by such trademarks, including, without limitation, those set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the “Trademarks”);

 

(f) Any and all claims for damages by way of past, present and future infringement of any of the rights included above, with the right, but not the obligation, to sue for and collect such damages for said use or infringement of the intellectual property rights identified above;

 

(g) All licenses or other rights to use any of the Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks, and all license fees and royalties arising from such use to the extent permitted by such license or rights;

 

1


(h) All amendments, renewals and extensions of any of the Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks; and

 

(i) All proceeds and products of the foregoing, including, without limitation, all payments under insurance or any indemnity or warranty payable in respect of any of the foregoing.

 

THE INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL BEING GRANTED HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS A CURRENT SECURITY INTEREST TO SECURE ALL OF DEBTOR’S PRESENT OR FUTURE INDEBTEDNESS, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES TO LENDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SUCH INDEBTEDNESS, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

2. AUTHORIZATION AND REQUEST. Debtor authorizes and requests that the Register of Copyrights and the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks record this security interest.

 

3. COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES. Debtor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a) Debtor is now the sole owner of the Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Debtor to its customers in the ordinary and normal course of business as now conducted;

 

(b) Performance of this Security Agreement does not conflict with or result in a breach of any agreement to which Debtor is a party or by which Debtor is bound, except to the extent that certain intellectual property agreements prohibit the assignment of the rights thereunder to a third party without the licensor’s or other party’s consent and this Security Agreement is deemed an assignment under such agreements;

 

(c) During the term of this Security Agreement, Debtor will not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise encumber any interest in the Collateral, except for (i) non-exclusive licenses granted by Debtor in the ordinary and normal course of its business as now conducted or as set forth in this Security Agreement and (ii) subject to Debtor’s execution of appropriate documents, in form acceptable to Lender, to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s interest in the Collateral, transfers to affiliates of Debtor (iii) exclusive licenses with respect to certain geographies outside the United States and granted in the ordinary course of business and (iv) exclusive licenses in fields of use that are not related to Borrower’s primary business;

 

(d) To its knowledge, each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Collateral violates the rights of any third party;

 

(e) Debtor shall promptly advise Lender of any material changes in the composition of the Collateral, including but not limited to any subsequent ownership right of Debtor in or to any Copyright, Patent or Trademark not specified in this Security Agreement;

 

(f) Debtor shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks material to Borrower’s business, (ii) use its best efforts to detect infringements of the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks and promptly advise Lender in writing of material infringements detected and (iii) not allow any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks material to Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless Debtor determines that reasonable business practices suggest that abandonment is appropriate;

 

(g) Debtor shall promptly register the most recent version of Debtor’s material Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks if not so already registered, as Lender may reasonably request from time to time based on its review of the Quarterly Report (as hereinafter defined) and shall, from time to time, execute and file such other instruments, and take such further actions as Lender may reasonably request from time to time to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s interest in the Collateral;

 

2


(h) To its knowledge, except for, and upon, the filings with, as applicable, (1) the United States Patent and Trademark office with respect to the Patents and Trademarks, (2) the Register of Copyrights with respect to the Copyrights and (3) the UCC Division of the California Secretary of State, necessary to perfect the security interests created hereunder, and except as has been already made or obtained, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States governmental authority or United States regulatory body is required either (a) for the grant by Debtor of the security interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Security Agreement by Debtor in the United States or (b) for the perfection in the United States or the exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies hereunder;

 

(i) All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to Lender by or on behalf of Debtor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete in all material respects;

 

(j) Debtor shall not enter into any agreement that would materially impair or conflict with Debtor’s obligations hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Debtor shall not permit the inclusion in any material contract to which it becomes a party of any provisions that could or might in any way prevent the creation of a security interest in Debtor’s rights and interests in any property included within the definition of the Collateral acquired under such contracts; and

 

(k) Upon any executive officer of Debtor obtaining actual knowledge thereof, Debtor will promptly notify Lender in writing of any event that materially adversely affects the value of any Collateral, the ability of Debtor to dispose of any Collateral or the rights and remedies of Lender in relation thereto, including the levy of any legal process against any of the Collateral.

 

4. LENDERS RIGHTS. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take, at Debtor’s sole expense, any actions that Debtor is required under this Security Agreement to take but which Debtor fails to take, after fifteen (15) days’ written notice to Debtor. Debtor shall reimburse and indemnify Lender for all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the reasonable exercise of its rights under this Section 4.

 

5. INSPECTION RIGHTS. Debtor hereby grants to Lender and its employees, representatives and agent’s the right to visit, during reasonable hours upon prior reasonable written notice to Debtor, any of Debtor’s plants and facilities that manufacture, install or store products (or that have done so during the prior six-month period) that are sold utilizing any of the Collateral, and to inspect the products and quality control records relating thereto upon reasonable written notice to Debtor and as often as may be reasonably requested.

 

6. FURTHER ASSURANCES; ATTORNEY IN FACT.

 

(a) On a quarterly basis, Debtor agrees to deliver to Lender a report, in form acceptable to Lender and certified by an officer of Debtor, which lists all Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks that are material to the operation of Debtor’s business on an on-going basis, and in which Lender does not already have a perfected security interest (the “Quarterly Report”); provided, however, Debtor may provide a general description of the Copyrights by type. Based upon review of the Quarterly Report, Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion, identify which Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks it deems material to the operation of Debtor’s business on an on-going basis or the value of the Collateral.

 

(b) On a continuing basis, Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places in the United States, all such instruments, including appropriate financing and continuation statements and collateral agreements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Register of Copyrights, and take all such action as may reasonably be necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by Lender, to perfect Lender’s security interest in all Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks, which Lender reasonably identifies pursuant to Section 6(a) above as material to the operation of Debtor’s business on an on-going basis or the value of the Collateral, and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Security Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Lender the grant or perfection of a security interest in all Collateral.

8. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise all the remedies of a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limitation, the right to require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and any tangible property in which Lender has a security interest and to make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender.

Debtor will pay any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the exercise of any of Lender’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, any expense incurred in disposing of the Collateral. All of Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral shall be cumulative.

 

9. INDEMNITY. Debtor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by any of them as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to transactions between Lender and Debtor, whether under this Security Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender and its officers employees and agents.
