The term “Warrant” shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange for this Warrant.

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS; NUMBER OF SHARES

 

  1.1 Definitions.

(a) “Change of Control” means (a) consummation of any merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation, or pursuant to which shares of the common stock of the Company are converted into cash, securities or other property, if following such merger or consolidation the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such merger or consolidation own less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving corporation; (b) consummation of any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than transfer of the Company’s assets to a majority-owned subsidiary corporation of the Company; or (c) approval of any plan or proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

(b) “Exercise Price” for a share of Common Stock means (a) after an Initial Public Offering, the IPO Price, or (b) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control prior to an Initial Public Offering, the Fair Market Value, in either case as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Article IV of this Warrant.

(c) The “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock shall mean:

 


        (i) If traded on a national 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 Date of Calculation;

        (ii) 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

        (iii) 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.

(d) “Initial Public Offering” shall be defined as the closing of the sale and issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in an underwritten initial public offering on a national exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

(e) The “IPO Price” of a share of Common Stock shall mean the initial per share “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to an Initial Public Offering.

1.2 No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall, at its option, either (a) make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (b) issue a full share of Common Stock for such fractional share.

ARTICLE II

EXERCISE OF WARRANT

2.1 Time of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including the expiration of this Warrant) this Warrant may only be exercised (A) any time after the successful conclusion of an Initial Public Offering and the expiration of any lock-up agreements entered into in connection with the Initial Public Offering by (i) the Holder or the Company and (ii) the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (“Lock-Up Agreements”), or (B) immediately prior to a Change of Control. This Warrant shall expire upon the later of the three year anniversary of (x) the date hereof or (y) the expiration of the Lock-Up Agreements, if an Initial Public Offering occurs within six months of the date hereof.

2.2 Exercise Right; Manner of Exercise.

(a) To exercise this Warrant, the Holder must: (i) surrender this Warrant to the Company, (ii) complete, execute and deliver to the Company a Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Exercise”) and (iii) pay to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased (the “Purchase Price”) (x) in cash or by check, (y) 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 (z) by any combination of the foregoing.

 


(b) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within fifteen (15) days after such date, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares issuable upon such exercise.

2.3 Cashless Exercise.

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the Date of Calculation as defined below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion of this Warrant being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant to the Company together with a properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and written notice of such election (the “Election Notice”), in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

        X = Y (A-B)

                    A

 

Where

   X =    the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
   Y =    the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is being exercised
   A =    the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock
   B =    Exercise Price

(b) For purposes of this Section, the “Date of Calculation” shall be the date that the Company receives the applicable surrendered Warrant (or an affidavit of the Holder specifying the Warrant has been lost, stolen or mutilated in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company), the Notice of Exercise and the Election Notice, each properly completed and executed (as applicable); provided, however, if such date is not a business day, the date of election shall be the next business day.

2.4 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.

3.3 Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (a) in the case of any such loss theft or destruction, upon delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount, or (b) in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of such Warrant, a new Warrant.

ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS

4.1 Splits and Combinations.

The Exercise Price shall not change in the event of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1(a).

(b) Following an Initial Public Offering. If, following the Initial Public Offering, the Company at any time subdivides any of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price under this Section 4.1(b), the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall equal the number of shares determined by dividing (i) the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchase of all shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Exercise Price per share in effect immediately after such adjustment.

4.2 Adjustment Certificates. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, a certificate, signed by the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the events requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, shall be mailed to the Holder and shall specify the adjusted Exercise price of the Warrant or the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, as applicable, after giving effect to the adjustment.
