Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday on which banks are closed for business in the State of California.

Exchange Act” means the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.

 

Merger Event” means any merger or consolidation (effected in a single transaction or series of related transactions) of the Company either into another entity in which holders of voting securities of the Company, immediately prior to such transaction, will hold less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving or successor entity or its parent, immediately after such transaction.

 

Purchase Price” means, with respect to any exercise of this Warrant Agreement, an amount equal to the Exercise Price as of the relevant time multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be exercised under this Warrant Agreement pursuant to such exercise.

 

Securities Act” means the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor statute, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.

 

SECTION 2. TERM OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.

 

Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant Agreement and the right to purchase Common Stock as granted herein (the “Warrant”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable until the first to occur of the following:

 

(a) at 5:00 p.m. local time in San Francisco, California on the first Business Day falling on or after the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date; or

 

(b) the closing of a Merger Event.

 

The Company shall provide written notice of the closing of any Merger Event not less than 15 Business Days prior to the closing of such Merger Event. The Company shall further provide written notice in accordance with Section 8(d) of any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company and of the record and payment dates for any distributions to stockholders; provided that so long as the Company has properly delivered such notice, in no event shall the Company be required to set aside or otherwise reserve any assets or properties for distribution to the Warrantholder to the extent the Warrantholder has not exercised this Warrant on or before the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

 

SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.

 

(a) Exercise. The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant Agreement are exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “Acknowledgment of Exercise”) indicating the number of shares which remain subject to future purchases, if any.

 

-2-


The Purchase Price may be paid at the Warrantholder’s election either (i) by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of all or a portion of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock to be exercised under this Warrant Agreement and, if applicable, an amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder, as determined below (“Net Issuance”). If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company will issue Common Stock in accordance with the following formula:

 

    

X =

  

  Y(A-B)  

       

      A

Where:

  

X =

  

the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrantholder.

    

Y =

  

the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be exercised under this Warrant Agreement.

    

A =

  

the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock at the time of issuance of such shares of Common Stock.

    

B =

  

the Exercise Price.

 

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Common Stock:

 

(i) if the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a five (5) trading day period ending three trading days before the day the fair market value of the securities is being determined; or if the Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the five (5) trading day period ending three trading days before the day the fair market value of the securities is being determined; or

 

(ii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ National Market or the over-the-counter market, the fair market value of Common Stock shall be the highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors unless the Company shall become subject to a Merger Event in which case the fair market value of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to such Merger Event.

 

-3-


Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.

 

(b) Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant Agreement is not previously exercised as to all Common Stock subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this Warrant Agreement shall be deemed automatically exercised on a Net Issuance basis pursuant to Section 3(a) (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration pursuant to Section 2 above. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 3(a). To the extent this Warrant Agreement or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Warrantholder of the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, the Warrantholder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

 

SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.

 

During the term of this Warrant Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase Common Stock as provided for herein.

 

SECTION 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.

 

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant Agreement, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefore upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

SECTION 6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER/STOCKHOLDER.

 

This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of this Warrant Agreement.

 

SECTION 7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.

 

The Company or its transfer agent shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Warrant Agreement. Warrantholder’s initial address, for purposes of such registry, is set forth below Warrantholder’s signature on this Warrant Agreement. Warrantholder may change such address by giving written notice of such changed address to the Company.

SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.

 

The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:

 

(a) Merger or Consolidation. If at any time there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a Merger Event), then, as a part of such merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of capital stock or other securities or property of the surviving or successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation (or of the corporation the capital stock of which is issued in exchange for the capital stock of the Company) that would have been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrantholder after such merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable) shall be applicable in their entirety, and to the greatest extent possible. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any merger or consolidation that is not a Merger Event, upon the closing thereof, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant Agreement.

 

(b) Reclassification of Shares. Except as set forth in Section 8(a), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change. In such case, the Exercise Price per share of securities for which this Warrant Agreement is exercisable shall be adjusted so that the aggregate Exercise Price remains unchanged.

 

(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant Agreement remains outstanding and unexpired shall combine or subdivide its Common Stock (including by way of stock divided), (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Agreement shall be proportionately increased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Agreement shall be proportionately decreased.

 

(d) Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the Company shall declare any cash dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in stock, cash, property or other securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription prorata to the holders of any class of its capital stock or other convertible stock if any, any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights (other than in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement of even date herewith, as may be amended from time to time); (iii) there shall be any Merger Event; or (iv) there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder: (A) at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, subscription rights (specifying the date on which the holders of Common

 

-5-


Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up and (B) in the case of any such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up). In connection with any other adjustment to the number or kind of securities issuable hereunder or in the applicable Exercise Price hereof, the Company shall send written notice thereof to the Warrantholder not less than fifteen (15) Business Days after the event or condition triggering such adjustment.

 

Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the event requiring the notice, and (ii) if any adjustment is required to be made, (A) the amount of such adjustment, (B) the method by which such adjustment was calculated, (C) the adjusted Exercise Price (if the Exercise Price has been adjusted), and (D) the number and/or kind of shares or other securities subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid, addressed to the Warrantholder at the address for Warrantholder set forth in the registry referred to in Section 7.

 

(e) Timely Notice. Failure to timely provide such notice required by subsection (d) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. For purposes of this subsection (e), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13(e), the notice period shall begin on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice containing all the information required to be provided in such subsection (d).
