1.	WHAT YOU AGREE TO GRANT US.

You grant to Us and We are entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Warrant, to subscribe to and to purchase from You that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Applicable Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (a) Forty Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000) divided by (b) the Exercise Price (as defined below).

For purposes of this Warrant, the “Applicable Preferred Stock” shall be Your Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred”); provided, however, that in the event the price per share of the Next Round Preferred Stock (as defined below) paid by investors in the Next Round (as defined below) is lower than the original price per share of Your Series B Preferred Stock (i.e., $1.40 per share), the “Applicable Preferred Stock” from and after the closing of the Next Round shall be the Next Round Preferred Stock.

For purposes of this Warrant, “Next Round” shall mean the next round of equity financing subsequent to the Effective Date in which at least a total of $10,000,000 of cash proceeds are received from investors, including without limitation an equity financing involving the sale and issuance of Your Series B-1 Preferred Stock.

For purposes of this Warrant, the “Next Round Preferred Stock” shall mean the series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which You issue in the Next Round. For the avoidance of doubt, the Next Round Preferred Stock shall include a round of equity financing involving the sale and issuance of Your Series B-1 Preferred Stock.

The Exercise Price shall be the lesser of: (i) $1.40 per share (i.e., the original price per share of Your Series B Preferred Stock) and (ii) the price per share of the Next Round Preferred Stock paid by investors in the Next Round.

The number and purchase price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof.

The Parties agree that this Warrant to purchase the Warrant Stock has a fair market value equal to $100 and that $100 of the issue price is included as part of the leased value and will be allocable to the Warrant and the original issue discount on the Lease Agreement shall be considered to be zero.

2.	WHEN ARE WE ENTITLED TO PURCHASE YOUR APPLICABLE PREFERRED STOCK.

The term of this Warrant and our right to purchase Applicable Preferred Stock will begin on the Effective Date, and shall be available for the greater of: (i) 7 years from the Effective Date, (ii) 5 years from the effective date of Your initial public offering of Your Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the 1933 Act (“Your IPO”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Our right to purchase the Warrant Stock shall be automatically and fully exercised (without surrender of the Warrant) upon the occurrence of a Merger Event (as defined below in Section 4), in which You are not the surviving corporation, provided that, upon consummation of the Merger Event, the consideration payable to Us pursuant to such exercise and on account of the Warrant Stock consists of (i) cash or (ii) cash and/ or stock that is traded on a recognized public exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market at a price per share equal to or greater than two (2) times the Exercise Price per share (as adjusted). No less than ten (10) business days prior to any Merger Event, You shall provide Us with written notice of the proposed Merger Event together with a copy of the proposed merger agreement and information concerning Your expected capitalization immediately prior to the Merger Event. Upon consummation of the Merger Event, You shall promptly provide Us with (a) a copy of the executed merger agreement, (b) any other documents in connection therewith, (c) information concerning Your capitalization immediately prior to the Merger Event, and, (d) upon request, by Us any other information reasonably necessary to an informed evaluation of Our rights under this Agreement.

In such a Merger Event, if the consideration payable to Us pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant and on account of the Warrant Stock upon the occurrence of a Merger Event does not consist of (i) cash or (ii) cash and/or stock that is traded on a recognized public exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market or is less than two (2) times the Exercise Price per share and We have not elected to exercise Our rights under this Warrant, then You may, at Your sole discretion, pay Us a sum equal to one (1) time the Exercise Price for each share exercisable under this Warrant in exchange for the cancellation of this Warrant upon the consummation of the Merger Event.

3.	HOW WE MAY PURCHASE YOUR APPLICABLE PREFERRED STOCK.

We may exercise Our purchase rights, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term of this Warrant, by (i) surrender of the Warrant to be held in escrow by You until receipt of the Applicable Preferred Stock by Us, together with a completed and executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached as Exhibit I, to Your principal offices and (ii) unless We elect the Net Issuance Method pursuant to the Notice of Exercise, payment to You of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares being purchased.

Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and in any event no later than twenty-one (21) days after you have received Our Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares purchased, You will issue to Us a certificate for the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock that We have purchased and You will execute the Acknowledgment of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II indicating the number of shares which will be available to Us for future purchases, if any.

We may pay for the Applicable Preferred Stock by either (i) cash, check or wire transfer (to an account designated by You), or (ii) by the net issuance method as determined below. If We elect the Net Issuance method, You will issue Applicable Preferred Stock using the following formula:


		X = Y(A-B)
		A
Where:	X =	the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock to be issued to Us.
	Y =	the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock We request to be exercised under this Warrant.
	A =	the fair market value of one share of Applicable Preferred Stock.
	B =	the Exercise Price.

For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of Applicable Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Applicable Preferred Stock:

If the exercise is in connection with the initial public offering of Your Common Stock, and if Your registration statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus of the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Applicable Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;

If this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with Your initial public offering, and:

•

if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the product of (x) the average of the closing prices over a five (5) day period ending three (3) days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Applicable Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise; or

•

if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the five (5) day period ending three (3) days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Applicable Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;

•

if at any time Your Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Applicable Preferred Stock shall be the product of (x) the fair market value of a share of Your Common Stock, as determined in good faith by Your Board of Directors and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Applicable Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise, unless You shall become subject to a Merger Event pursuant to which You are not the surviving party, in which case the fair market value of Applicable Preferred Stock shall

be deemed to be the value received by the holders of Your Applicable Preferred Stock on a Common Stock-equivalent basis pursuant to such Merger Event.

•

During the term of this Warrant, You will at all times from and after the Effective Date have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of (a) Applicable Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of our rights to purchase Applicable Preferred Stock, and (b) Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Applicable Preferred Stock.

If We elect to exercise part of the Warrant, You will promptly issue to Us an amended Warrant stating the remaining number of shares that are available. All other terms and conditions of that amended Warrant shall be identical to those contained in this Warrant.

If at the end of the term of this Warrant, the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance herewith is greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be converted pursuant hereto as to all shares of Warrant Stock (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised or converted, and You shall promptly deliver a certificate representing the shares of Warrant Stock (or such other securities) issued upon such conversion to Us.

4.	WHEN WILL THE NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE CHANGE.

•

If You are Acquired. Subject to the termination provisions in Section 2 above, if at any time (i) there is a reorganization of Your stock (other than a reclassification, exchange or subdivision of Your stock otherwise provided for in this Warrant), (ii) You merge or consolidate with or into another entity whether or not You are the surviving entity, (iii) You sell or convey, or grant an exclusive license with respect to, all or substantially all of Your assets to any other person; or (iv) there occurs any transaction or series of related transactions that result in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of the capital stock of You (each of the foregoing events are referred to as a “Merger Event”), then, as a part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that We shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of Our rights under this Warrant, the number of shares of preferred stock or other securities of the successor or surviving person resulting from such Merger Event, equal in value to that which would have been issuable if We had exercised Our rights under this Warrant immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Your Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to Our rights and interest after the Merger Event so that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable to the greatest extent possible.

•

If You Reclassify Your Stock. If at any time You combine, reclassify, exchange or subdivide Your securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant will 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 immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.

•

If You Subdivide or Combine Your Shares. If at any time You combine or subdivide Your Applicable Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price will be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

•

If You Pay Stock Dividends. If at any time You pay a dividend payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution specifically provided for in the above paragraphs) of Your stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the record date of such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of all shares of Your stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of all shares of Your stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution. We will thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the

Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

•

If You Change the Antidilution Rights of the Applicable Preferred Stock or Your Certificate of Incorporation. All antidilution rights applicable to the Series B Preferred purchasable under this Warrant are as set forth in Your Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the Effective Date. You will promptly provide Us with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of Your Certificate of Incorporation.

5.	WE CAN TRANSFER THIS PLAIN ENGLISH WARRANT.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in Section 7, We (or any successor transferee) may transfer in whole or in part this Warrant and all its rights. You will record the transfer on Your books when You receive Our Notice of Transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III, and Our payment of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges involved in such transfer. So long as You have not assigned Your assets for the benefit of Your creditors, have entered (voluntarily or involuntarily) a bankruptcy proceeding, liquidated or taken any action for the purpose of the foregoing, You may refuse to transfer this Warrant or any Applicable Preferred Stock to any person who directly competes with You (as determined in good faith by You) unless Your stock is publicly traded.

of this Agreement, the injured party shall be entitled to specific performance of any or all provisions hereof or an injunction prohibiting the other party from continuing to commit any such breach of this Agreement.

No Impairment of Rights. You will not, by amendment of your Charter or through any other means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect Our rights against impairment.

Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions of the Parties contained herein or made pursuant to this Warrant shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant.

Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Warrant shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Entire Agreement. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and undertakings of the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

Amendments. Any provision of this Warrant may only be amended by a written instrument signed by the Parties.

Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. You covenant to Us that, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to You of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to You, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, You will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate.

Rights as Stockholders. We shall not, as a party to this Warrant, be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Series B Preferred Stock or any of Your other securities which may at any time be issuable upon the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon Us any of the rights of one of Your stockholders or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant is exercised and the shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
