ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE

1.1. Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.3, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased. Upon Exercise of this Warrant, Holder will receive that number of Shares equal to [                ] divided by the then current Exercise Price.

1.2. Exercise Price. The initial exercise price for this Warrant shall be $[        ] per Share and is subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 2; provided that, if a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time) occurs prior to December 31, 2014, then the Exercise Price shall be equal to the per share price at which the Company’s Common Stock was sold to the public in connection with such Qualified IPO.

1.3. Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Exercise Price for such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.4.


1.4. Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.

1.5. Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.6. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor.

1.7. Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.

(i) Definition of Acquisition. For purposes of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means: (a) any direct or indirect sale, license. or other disposition of all, or substantially all, of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company; (b) any direct or indirect sale or disposition of all, or substantially all, of the capital stock of the Company; or (c) any direct or indirect reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of the voting securities of the Company or any other direct or indirect transaction, or series of transactions, where the holders of the Company’s voting securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity following any such transaction or series of transactions.

(ii) Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date of the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted appropriately. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this Warrant.

(iii) Non-Assumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant and Holder has not otherwise exercised this Warrant in full, then this Warrant will be deemed to have been automatically converted pursuant to Section 1.3, and thereafter, Holder shall participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company.


ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES

2.1. Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its Common Stock payable in common stock, or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding Common Stock into a greater amount of Common Stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

2.2. Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other property. The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3. Adjustments for Combinations. Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.

2.4. Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. In the event of the issuance (a “Diluting Issuance”) by the Company after the Issue Date of securities but before a Qualified IPO, at a price per share less than the then current Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with those provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that apply to Diluting Issuances as if the Shares were shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and using the Exercise Price as the “Conversion Price” to be adjusted.

2.5. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price and the applicable number of Shares issuable in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price and number of Shares.

2.6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the


nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
