1. Issuance. This Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) is issued to HEALTHCARE ROYALTY PARTNERS II, L.P. by INVUITY, INC., a California corporation (hereinafter with its successors called the “Company”).

2. Purchase Price; Number of Shares.

(a) The registered holder of this Warrant (the “Holder”), 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 $0.7192 (as adjusted pursuant to Sections 9 and 11, the “Purchase Price”), up to a maximum of 1,564,238 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock (as adjusted pursuant to Sections 9 and 11), no par value (the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant being referred to herein as the “Preferred Stock”). Commencing on the date hereof, 1,042,825 (the “First Tranche Exercise Quantity” and, together with the Second Tranche Exercise Quantity (as defined below), the “Exercise Quantity”) of shares of Preferred Stock are immediately available for purchase hereunder.

(b) On the Second Closing Date, if any, the Exercise Quantity shall automatically be increased by such additional number of shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) as is equal to the quotient of (A) 7.5% of the Second Tranche Term Loan as specified in the Second Notice of Borrowing pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (B) the Purchase Price up to a maximum of 521,413 shares of Preferred Stock (the “Second Tranche Exercise Quantity”).

Any term not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated February 28, 2014 between the Company, Healthcare Royalty Partners II, L.P. and other parties thereto from time to time.

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.

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:

 

 

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 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, no par value (the “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, 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 over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock (other than Common 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 (other than Common 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 (other than Common 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 (other than Common Stock) is then convertible; and

(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 make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Purchase Price then in effect.

7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on February 28, 2024 or pursuant to Section 11, and shall be void thereafter (the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon such date the Fair Market Value for a share of Preferred Stock exceeds the Purchase Price, 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 antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock of the Company are set forth in the Amended and Restated Articles 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 Preferred Stock without such Holder’s prior written consent.
