2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

2.1 Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Appendix A;

(b) Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check, or (ii) pursuant to net exercise in accordance with Section 2.4; and

(c) This Warrant.

2.2 Exercise Procedures. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued

 

2


and delivered to the Holder within ten (10) calendar days after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

2.3 Expiration. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant and the right of a Holder to exercise this Warrant shall be terminated on the Expiration Date. If this Warrant terminates on the Expiration Date and if the fair market value of the Exercise Shares (as determined in accordance with Section 2.4) exceeds the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised immediately prior to the conclusion of the Expiration Date in accordance with Section 2.4.

2.4 Net Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one Exercise Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly executed Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Appendix A, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Exercise Shares computed using the following formula:

 

X   =      Y (A-B)
            A

 

Where    X =    the number of shares of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder
   Y =    the number of shares of Exercise Shares purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
   A =    the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Exercise Shares (at the date of such calculation)
   B =    Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share of Exercise Shares shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that in the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.4 in connection with the Company’s IPO, the fair market value per share shall be the product of (i) the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s Common Stock in an IPO, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Exercise Shares is convertible at the time of such exercise. If the Holder does not agree with the Board’s good faith determination of fair market value and notifies the Board within ten (10) calendar days of the delivery by the Company to the

 

3


Holder of such fair market value determination, the fair market value of an Exercise Share shall be determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder; provided, that the fees and expenses of such appraisal shall be paid by the Company if the fair market value of the independent appraiser is higher than the Board’s fair market value determination and, if the fair market value of the independent appraiser is less than or equal to the Board’s fair market value determination, then the Holder shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraisal.

3. TREATMENT OF THE WARRANTS UPON A CORPORATE REORGANIZATION.

3.1 Corporate Reorganization. In the event any Corporate Reorganization shall be effected, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the surviving or successor corporation resulting from such Corporate Reorganization (the “Acquirer”) has made lawful and adequate provision whereby each Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified (with a proportionally adjusted Exercise Price, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant) and in lieu of the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Holder, shares of stock (the “Acquirer Shares”) in the Acquirer such that the aggregate value of the Holder’s warrants to purchase such number of Acquirer Shares (where the value of each new warrant to purchase one Acquirer Share is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model assumptions set forth in Appendix C hereto), is at least equivalent to the aggregate value of the Warrants held by such Holder immediately prior to such Corporate Reorganization (where the value of each Warrant is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model assumptions set forth in Appendix D hereto by multiplying the value of the Warrant to purchase one Exercise Share in the Company as determined in accordance with such Black-Scholes Option Pricing model assumptions by the number of Exercise Shares then purchasable under this Warrant (the “Black-Scholes Calculation Method”)). Furthermore, the new warrants to purchase Acquirer Shares referred to herein shall have the same Expiration Date as this Warrant, and shall have a strike price that is calculated in accordance with Appendix C hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, if the surviving or acquiring entity, as the case may be, is a member of a consolidated group for financial reporting purposes, the “Acquirer” shall be deemed to be the parent of such consolidated group for purposes of this Section 3.1 and Appendix C hereto.

3.2 Adjustment Upon Corporate Reorganizations. In connection with any Corporate Reorganization, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any Acquirer Shares thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of any warrant issued in replacement hereof. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of a Corporate Reorganization, the Acquirer shall assume by written instrument, reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the Exercise Shares that would be issuable upon the exercise of all the outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Requisite Holders”) to be satisfactory in form and substance, the obligation to deliver to the holders of the Warrants, at the last address of each such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may

 

4


be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under the Warrants. If the Company, in spite of using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to cause this Warrant to continue in full force and effect until the Expiration Date in connection with any Corporate Reorganization, then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Holder, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of any such Corporate Reorganization, an amount per Warrant calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix D hereto using the Black-Scholes Calculation Method (the “Warrant Repurchase Amount”). The payment of the Warrant Repurchase Amount shall be made in cash in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the Company or the shareholders of the Company receiving cash from the Acquirer at the closing of the transaction, and shall be made in shares in the Acquirer (with the value of each such share being the transaction value as provided in the transaction documents) in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the Company or the shareholders of the Company receiving shares of the Acquirer or other entity at the closing of the transaction. In the event that the shareholders of the Company receive both cash and shares at the closing of the transaction, the payment of the Warrant Repurchase Amount to the Holder shall also be made in both cash and shares in the same proportion as the consideration received by the shareholders. Unless the Requisite Holders consent in writing to a different treatment, payment of the Warrant Repurchase Amount prior to or contemporaneously with the Corporate Reorganization shall be a condition to the consummation of such Corporate Reorganization by the Company.

3.3 Automatic Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Requisite Holders agree in writing prior to the date of the closing of any such Corporate Reorganization, then all outstanding Warrants (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall terminate upon the consummation of such Corporate Reorganization. If this Warrant so terminates upon a Corporate Reorganization and if the fair market value of the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as determined in accordance with Section 2.4) exceeds the Exercise Price, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised immediately prior to the Corporate Reorganization in accordance with Section 2.4 unless the Holder elected to exercise in accordance with Section 2.1. In the event that the Holder exercises this Warrant in connection with a Corporate Reorganization, the Holder shall be entitled to condition such exercise on the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization and shall indicate as such on the Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Appendix A, and the Holder will only be required to pay the applicable Exercise Price (as herein defined) at such time as the Corporate Reorganization is consummated.

3.4 Notice. The Company will give the Holder notice specifying the date of the Corporate Reorganization at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the expected consummation of such Corporate Reorganization.

4. COVENANTS.

4.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (together with any other securities into which such Exercise Shares may be converted) will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further

 

5


covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its capital stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Exercise Shares shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Exercise Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

4.2 Registration Under Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company agrees that upon the issuance of the Exercise Shares or, if the Exercise Shares are convertible into common stock of the Company, the issuance of such common stock, such Exercise Shares shall be “Registrable Securities”, and Holder shall be an “Investor” under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated as of July 25, 2012, and as amended from time to time (the “Rights Agreement”). The Holder and the Company each agree to execute and deliver any documents to effectuate the foregoing, including, without limitation, an amendment to the Rights Agreement, thereby agreeing to be bound by all obligations and receive all rights thereunder.

5. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.

5.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Warrant and Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its account only.

5.2 Securities Are Not Registered.

(a) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that except as may be provided for in the Rights Agreement, the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.

(c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale

 

6


following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

5.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.

(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event except in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

5.4 Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act.

6. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the outstanding Exercise Shares of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment; provided, however, that such adjustment shall not be made with respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate if not exercised prior to, the events set forth in Section 8 below. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.

7. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

8. EARLY TERMINATION. In the event of, at any time during the Exercise Period, an IPO of the Company registered under the Act, the Company shall provide to the Holder twenty (20) calendar days’ advance written notice of such public offering, and this Warrant shall terminate unless exercised immediately prior to the date such public offering is closed.

9. MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT. Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) (i) during the 180-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act in connection with the Company’s IPO (or such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) calendar days after the expiration of the 180-day period, as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2711), and (ii) the 90-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act in circumstances other than in connection with the Company’s IPO (or such longer period, not to exceed eighteen (18) calendar days after the expiration of the 90-day period, as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2711); provided that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least five percent (5%) of the Company’s voting securities are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. The obligations described in this Section 9 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and/or the managing underwriter(s) which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock (or other securities) until the end of such period. The underwriters of the Company’s stock are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.

10. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

11. TRANSFER OF WARRANT.

11.1 Transfers. Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto as Appendix B to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.

11.2 Transfer Restrictions. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all applicable United States federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including (i) the delivery of investment representation letters reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by the Company, (ii) to the extent that this Warrant is transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required and (iii) such other reasonable documentation that the Company may reasonably request).

11.3 Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant for exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form annexed hereto as Appendix B and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers contained in this Section 11, the Company at its expense shall issue to the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise hereof.

12. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

10


performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by the Holder or the Company at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy by the Holder or the Company, nor shall it in any way affect the right of the Holder or the Company to enforce such provisions thereafter.

14.8 Counterparts. This Warrant and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
