The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant have not been registered under the 1933 Act, or applicable state securities laws and may not be transferred or otherwise disposed of unless it has been registered under that Act and is in compliance with applicable state securities laws or an exemption from registration is available. Any securities issuable upon conversion of the Warrant shall be imprinted with an appropriate legend relating to the transfer restrictions applicable to such securities. As a condition to any transfer, the Holder shall provide, at the Corporation’s request, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act, and the securities law applicable with respect to any other applicable jurisdiction. In the event of a transfer or assignment as provided herein, the Holder and transferee or assignee shall execute and deliver a Transfer Form in the form attached hereto as Attachment 3 to the Corporation, and the Corporation shall promptly issue a new warrant (or warrants, if applicable) pursuant to the instructions in such Transfer Form.
9. Termination. This Warrant shall terminate on the Termination Date.
10. Loss, Etc. of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

(a) Investment Intent. The Holder is acquiring the Warrant for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
(b) Investment Experience.

(e) Residency. The residency of the Holder (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is the State of California.
12. Miscellaneous. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, as such laws are applied to contracts to be entered into and performed entirely in California by California residents and without reference to its conflict of laws principles. In the event of any dispute among the Holder and the Corporation arising out of the terms of this Warrant, the parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in the State of California for resolution of such dispute, and agree not to contest such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or seek to transfer any action relating to such dispute to any other jurisdiction or venue.
