WARRANT TO PURCHASE

SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK OF

TOAST, INC.

(Void after June 30, 2026)

This certifies that VENTURE LENDING & LEASING VIII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or assigns (“Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase from TOAST, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), the Applicable Number (hereinafter defined) of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company’s preferred equity securities (“Preferred Stock”) issued and sold in the Qualifying Round (hereinafter defined), for cash, at a purchase price per share equal to the Stock Purchase Price (hereinafter defined). Holder may also exercise this Warrant on a cashless or “net issuance” basis as described in Section 1(b) below, and this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full on such basis on the Expiration Date, to the extent not fully exercised prior to such date. This Warrant is issued in connection with that certain Loan and Security Agreement and Supplement thereto, both of even date herewith (as amended, restated and supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement” and the “Supplement”, respectively), between Company, as borrower, and Holder’s subsidiary, Venture Lending & Leasing VIII, Inc., as lender (“Lender”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meaning(s) ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement and the Supplement, unless the context would otherwise require.

“Stock Purchase Price” means the lowest price per share paid by a new, outside investor for Preferred Stock issued and sold in the Qualifying Round, including for this purpose the value of all consideration given by an investor for such Preferred Stock but specifically excluding any discounts afforded to investors and stockholders of Company upon conversion of any convertible promissory notes or other securities held by them in connection with the Qualifying Round or otherwise in connection therewith. “Qualifying Round” means the next bona fide round of equity financing after the date hereof led by a new, outside investor in which Company sells or issues shares of its Preferred Stock with cash proceeds, net of offering expenses, to Company of at least $10,000,000 (excluding the conversion into Preferred Stock of any Indebtedness in connection with the Qualifying Round), and includes (and Holder shall be entitled to receive, as calculated in relation to the Applicable Number) any options, warrants, or other convertible securities or similar consideration issued or delivered to investors in the Qualifying Round; provided that the Qualifying Round excludes any additional sales of Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The “Applicable Number” means the number of shares of Preferred Stock obtained by dividing (A) $50,000 by (B) the Stock Purchase Price.


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraphs, if at any time during the term of this Warrant a Qualifying Round has not been completed and a Change of Control or IPO occurs, or the Expiration Date is reached, then this Warrant shall entitle Holder to acquire in accordance with the terms hereof the Applicable Number of shares of Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (in which case all references herein to “Preferred Stock” shall be deemed to mean Company’s Series A Preferred Stock) and the Stock Purchase Price shall be deemed to be a price per share which is equal to $50,000,000 divided by the sum of (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Company and (ii) the number of shares of capital stock of Company underlying “in-the-money” convertible securities, in each case on an as-converted to Common Stock basis as of the time of such Change of Control or IPO (or the Expiration Date).

As soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence or non-occurrence of the latest event or condition necessary to determine (i) the actual number and type of shares of Company’s Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, or (ii) the Stock Purchase Price, if applicable, Company shall deliver a supplement to this Warrant (subsequent to a request by Holder therefor), in substantially the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto, specifying the total number and series of shares of Preferred Stock issuable hereunder after giving effect to the foregoing calculations, and otherwise completed with such quantity and price terms and other information as have been determined as a result of the occurrence or non-occurrence of such events or conditions. The provisions of such supplement, once completed and executed, shall control the interpretation and exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the failure of Company to deliver such supplement shall not affect the rights of Holder to receive the number and type of shares of Preferred Stock as set forth herein.

Subject to Section 4.3, this Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time up to and including 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on June 30, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”), upon surrender to Company at its principal office at 401 Park Drive, Suite 801, Boston, Massachusetts 02215 (or at such other location as Company may advise Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of Subscription attached hereto duly completed and signed and upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Stock Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 4 of this Warrant.

This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.

(a) Unless an election is made pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 1, this Warrant shall be exercisable at the option of Holder, at any time or from time to time (after the identity of the Preferred Stock is ascertainable), on or before the Expiration Date for all or any portion of the shares of Preferred Stock (but not for a fraction of a share) which may be purchased hereunder for the Stock Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased. In the event, however, that pursuant to Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended or restated from time to time (the “Charter”), an event causing automatic conversion of Company’s Preferred Stock (an “Automatic Conversion”) shall have occurred prior to the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock of Company (“Common Stock”) into which the Preferred Stock not purchased upon any prior exercise of this Warrant would have been so converted (and, where the context requires, reference to “Preferred Stock” shall be deemed to be or include such Common Stock, as may be appropriate). Company agrees that the shares of Preferred Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which the form of subscription shall have been delivered and payment made for such shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 2, certificates for the shares of Preferred Stock so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which Holder is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to Holder by Company at Company’s expense within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. Except as provided in clause (b) of this Section 1, in case of a purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under this Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to Holder within a reasonable time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Preferred Stock as may be requested by Holder and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or such other name as shall be designated by such Holder, subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.

 

2


(b) Holder, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by the cash payment of the Stock Purchase Price pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 1, may elect, at any time (after the identity of the Preferred Stock is ascertainable) on or before the Expiration Date, to surrender this Warrant and receive that number of shares of Preferred Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X =    Y(A – B)
  A

 

  Where:    X    =    the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to Holder.
     Y    =    the number of shares of Preferred Stock that Holder would otherwise have been entitled to purchase hereunder pursuant to Section 1(a) (or such lesser number of shares as Holder may designate in the case of a partial exercise of this Warrant).
     A    =    the Per Share Price (as defined in Section 1(c) below) of one (1) share of Preferred Stock at the time the net issuance election under this Section 1(b) is made.
     B    =    the Stock Purchase Price then in effect.

Election to exercise under this Section 1(b) may be made by delivering a signed form of subscription to Company via facsimile, to be followed by delivery of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, if as of the close of business on the last business day preceding the Expiration Date this Warrant remains unexercised as to all or a portion of the shares of Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder, then effective as 9:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the Expiration Date, Holder shall be deemed, automatically and without need for notice to Company, to have elected to exercise this Warrant in full pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(b), and upon surrender of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Preferred Stock computed using the above formula, provided that the application of such formula as of the Expiration Date yields a positive number for “X”.

(c) For purposes of Section 1(b), the “Per Share Price” shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Company (the “Board”) based on relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the net exercise under Section 1(b), including in the case of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 4.3 hereof) the consideration receivable by the holders of the Preferred Stock in such Change of Control and the liquidation preference (including any declared but unpaid dividends), if any, then applicable to the Preferred Stock.

2. Limitation on Transfer.

(a) This Warrant, the Preferred Stock and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) shall not be transferable except upon the conditions specified in this Section 2, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each holder of this Warrant, the Preferred Stock issuable hereunder or the Conversion Shares will cause any proposed transferee of the Warrant, Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Section 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Section 2, Holder may freely transfer all or part of this Warrant, the Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares at any time to any lender transferee of a portion of the loan commitment of Lender under the Loan Agreement or any affiliate of Holder, provided that such transferee is not an actual or potential competitor of Company (as determined in good faith by the Board), by giving Company notice of the portion of the Warrant, the Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares being transferred setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and surrendering this Warrant, such Preferred Stock or such Conversion Shares to Company for reissuance to the transferees(s) (and Holder, if applicable).

(b) Each certificate representing (i) this Warrant, (ii) the Preferred Stock, (iii) the Conversion Shares and (iv) any other securities issued in respect to the Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Section 2 or unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act or sold under Rule 144) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED DUE TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) Holder of this Warrant and each person to whom all or any portion of this Warrant, all or any portion of the Preferred Stock or all or any portion of the Conversion Shares is subsequently transferred represents and warrants to Company (by acceptance of such transfer) that it will not transfer such portion of this Warrant, such Preferred Stock or such Conversion Shares unless a registration statement under the Securities Act was in effect with respect to such securities at the time of issuance thereof) except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any other rule under the Securities Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for Company, that an exemption from such registration is available.

3. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Preferred Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any stockholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, or other securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Preferred Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Preferred Stock may be listed. Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price (as described in Section 4 hereof) (i) if the total number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding warrants, together with all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding and all shares of Preferred Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock then authorized by the Charter, (ii) if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon the conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Charter or (iii) if the par value per share of the Preferred Stock would exceed the Stock Purchase Price.

4. Adjustment of Stock Purchase Price and Number of Shares. The Stock Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price, Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment. For clarity, no adjustment to the Stock Purchase Price or the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made in respect of the occurrence of the certain events described in this Section 4 to the extent such events occurred prior to the Qualifying Round, except for adjustments pursuant to Section 4.2 (other than those adjustments that provide to holders of Preferred Stock additional securities of Company that are convertible, directly or indirectly, into Common Stock) in the event this Warrant, in accordance with its terms, entitles Holder to acquire shares of Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.

4.1 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

4.2 Dividends in Preferred Stock, Other Stock, Properly, Reclassification. If at any time or from time to time the holders of Preferred Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,

(a) Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock or other securities whether or not such securities are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

(b) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend, or

(c) Preferred Stock or other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of Preferred Stock issued as a stock split, adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 4.1 above),

then and in each such case, Holder shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Preferred Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (b) and (c) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such Preferred Stock as of the date on which holders of Preferred Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares and/or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

4.3 Change of Control; IPO. In the event of (i) a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) the consummation of a sale of Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by Company under the Securities Act (or pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the initial public offering is completed), in connection with the first firm commitment underwritten offering of Company’s securities to the general public that occurs after the date this Warrant is issued (“IPO”), this Warrant shall be automatically exchanged, contemporaneously with the consummation of such Change of Control or IPO, as applicable, for a number of shares of Company’s securities, such number of shares being equal to the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the terms hereof (after taking into account all adjustments described herein) had Holder elected to exercise this Warrant immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control or IPO and purchased all such shares pursuant to the cash exercise provision set forth in Section l(a) hereof (as opposed to the cashless exercise provision set forth in Section 1(b)), subject to the terms of Section 1(a) that this Warrant shall be exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock that such shares of Preferred Stock are convertible into, in lieu of such shares of Preferred Stock, in the event an Automatic Conversion occurs prior to or concurrently with such Change of Control or IPO; provided, however, that Holder shall pay to Company in cash the aggregate par value of the securities acquired pursuant to such automatic exchange. Company acknowledges and agrees that Holder shall not be required to make any payment (cash or otherwise) for such shares as further consideration for their issuance pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence. “Change of Control” shall mean any sale, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company, any reorganization, consolidation, merger or other transaction involving Company where the holders of Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction; provided, however, the sale of Company’s equity securities in a bona fide financing transaction for capital-raising purposes shall not be considered a “Change of Control.” This Warrant shall terminate upon Holder’s receipt of the number of shares of Company’s equity securities described in this Section 4.3.

4.4 Sale or Issuance Below Purchase Price; “Pay-to-Play” Exemption.

(a) The other antidilution rights applicable to the shares of Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are set forth in the Charter. Such antidilution rights shall not be restated, amended, modified or waived in any manner without Holder’s prior written consent if the terms of such restatement, amendment, modification or waiver on Holder would be more adverse to Holder than, and substantially dissimilar to, such terms for the other holders of the same series of Company’s Preferred Stock. Company shall promptly provide Holder with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter promptly after the same has been made.

(b) In the event that the Charter provides, or is amended to so provide, for the amendment or modification of the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the reclassification, conversion or exchange of the outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock, in the event that a holder of shares thereof fails to participate in an equity financing or debt financing transaction (as applicable, a “Pay-to-Play Provision”), and in the event that such Pay-to-Play Provision becomes operative in a transaction occurring after the date hereof, this Warrant shall automatically and without any action required become exercisable for that type of shares of equity securities as would have been issued or exchanged, or would have remained outstanding, in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock issuable hereunder had this Warrant been exercised in full prior to such event (and for that number of shares of equity securities as would have been issued or exchanged, or would have remained outstanding, in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock issuable hereunder had this Warrant been exercised in full prior to such event, if applicable), and had Holder participated in the equity or debt financing to the maximum extent permitted.

4.5 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price, and/or any increase or decrease in the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, Company shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of Company. The notice, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto, shall be signed by Company’s chief financial officer and shall state the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

4.6 Other Notices. If at any time:

(a) Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Preferred Stock;

 

6


(b) Company shall declare any dividend upon its Preferred Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Preferred Stock;

(c) Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Preferred Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;

(d) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of Company, or consolidation or merger of Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity;

(e) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Company; or

(f) Company shall take or propose to take any other action, notice of which is actually provided to holders of the Preferred Stock;

then, in any one or more of said cases, Company shall give, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of Company, (i) at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action, at least 10 days’ written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or other action as the case may be.

4.7 Certain Events. If any change in the outstanding Preferred Stock of Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 4 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly effect the adjustments to this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board shall make in good faith an adjustment in the number and class of shares issuable under this Warrant, the Stock Purchase Price and/or the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give Holder of this Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Stock Purchase Price the total number, class and kind of shares as Holder would have owned had this Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

5. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Preferred Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder of this Warrant for any issue tax in respect thereof; provided, however, that Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then Holder of this Warrant being exercised.

6. Closing of Books. Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any shares of Preferred Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

 

7


7. No Voting or Dividend Rights; Limitation of Liability. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder the right to vote or to consent as a stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase shares of Preferred Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Stock Purchase Price or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by its creditors.

8. [Intentionally Omitted]

9. Registration Rights. Holder shall be entitled, with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise hereof or the shares of Common Stock or other securities issued upon conversion of such Preferred Stock as the case may be, to all of the registration rights set forth in any investors’ rights agreement (or like agreement) among Company and any of its investors (as amended from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”), to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions as possessed by the investors thereunder with the following exceptions and clarifications: (i) Holder will have no right to make a written request under the Rights Agreement that Company file a registration statement under Form S-1 of the Securities Act; (ii) Holder will be subject to the same provisions regarding indemnification as contained in the Rights Agreement; and (iii) any registration rights are freely assignable by Holder of this Warrant in connection with a permitted transfer of this Warrant or the shares issuable upon exercise hereof. Company shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that the granting of such registration rights to Holder does not violate the provisions of the Rights Agreement or any of Company’s charter documents or rights of prior grantees of registration rights.

10. Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the other provisions set forth herein, the rights and obligations of Company, of Holder of this Warrant and of the holder of shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, contained in Sections 6, 9, 18.7 and 19 shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

11. Modification and Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

12. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to Holder or Company shall be deemed to have been given (i) upon receipt if delivered personally or by courier (ii) upon confirmation of successful transmission if sent by telecopy or affirmative confirmation of receipt by the recipient if sent by electronic mail or (iii) three business days after deposit in the US mail, with postage prepaid and certified or registered, to each such Holder at its address as shown on the books of Company or to Company at the address indicated therefor in the opening paragraphs of this Warrant.

13. Survival of Certain Obligations. Subject to other provisions set forth herein, all of the obligations of Company relating to the Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall survive the exercise and termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants and agreements of Company shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Holder. Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon request of Holder but at Company’s expense, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to Holder in respect of any rights (including, without limitation, any right to registration of the shares of Common Stock) to which Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with this Warrant; provided, that the failure of Holder to make any such request shall not affect the continuing obligation of Company to Holder in respect of such rights.

18.6 Reserved.

18.7 Financial and Other Reports. Until the Expiration Date, Company shall furnish to Holder (i) within 180 days after the close of each fiscal year of Company, a balance sheet, together with an income statement and a cash flow statement, for such fiscal year, in the same form as such annual financial statements are furnished to the Board; (ii) within 45 days after the close of each fiscal quarter of Company, an unaudited balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, each at and as of the end of such quarter, together with an up-to-date capitalization table; and (iii) promptly after the closing of each equity financing consummated by Company after the date this Warrant has been issued, a copy of the term sheet for such equity financing (if any), a post-closing capitalization table and other information relating to the then-current valuation of Company. In addition, Company agrees to provide Holder at any time and from time to time with such information as Holder may reasonably request for purposes of Holder’s compliance (as determined by Holder in its reasonable discretion) with regulatory, accounting and reporting requirements applicable to Holder (e.g., Fair Value Accounting Standard 157), including any 409A valuation reports and up-to-date operating budgets, as well as information with respect to whether the securities issuable upon the exercise hereof constitute “qualified small business stock” for purposes of Section 1202(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 18152.5 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be required to furnish to Holder the financial information described in this Section 18.7 (i) in the event such financial information has been previously delivered to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement or if Holder’s auditors no longer require such information or (ii) if such information is highly confidential or a trade secret or other confidential information, which would result in a conflict of interest or is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege, or which constitutes attorney work product, or the disclosure of which is prohibited by applicable law or binding agreement.

19. Right to Purchase Securities in Qualifying Round. Company hereby grants to Holder the right to invest up to $175,000 in the Preferred Stock sold by Company in the Qualifying Round. Such right may be satisfied either by Holder purchasing Preferred Stock directly from Company in the Qualifying Round or by Holder purchasing a note from Company that is convertible into Preferred Stock to be issued in the Qualifying Round. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder shall not have any obligation to purchase Company’s equity securities (or any note convertible into such securities) in the Qualifying Round. Except as otherwise agreed by Holder and Company, to exercise its purchase right under this Section 19, Holder shall deliver, within ten (10) days of Holder’s actual receipt of written notification from Company regarding the offer or sale of its equity securities in the Qualifying Round (which written notification from Company shall include a description of the material terms of such securities), a written notice stating Holder’s intention to exercise such right and the number of equity securities that Holder desires to purchase. In the event Holder exercises its purchase right set forth hereunder, Holder shall not have any obligation to purchase such securities, except pursuant to those definitive purchase documents executed by other purchasers in connection with the Qualifying Round. The right to purchase equity securities in the Qualifying Round described in this Section 19 shall survive the payment and satisfaction of all of Company’s Obligations to Lender, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any other Loan Document executed or delivered by Company or Lender after the date hereof. Holder shall be entitled to apportion the rights hereby granted to it among itself and any affiliate of Holder in such proportions as Holder deems appropriate.

20. “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by Company of shares of Common Stock or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1, and ending on the date specified by Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (l80) days, or such other period as may be requested by Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 271l(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 20 shall apply only to the IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall be applicable to Holder only if all officers of Company, all directors of Company and all stockholders owning more than five percent (5%) (or such other percent that is used in the “market stand-off’ agreement in the Rights Agreement) of Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to the conversion into Common Stock of all Preferred Stock) are subject to similar restrictions. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 20 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 20 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
