CONSOLIDATED, AMENDED AND RESTATED
WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

(Dated November 6, 2019)

Issuer:	BIOLASE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
Warrant No.:	SWK-2
Number of Shares:	487,198 (as may be adjusted pursuant to Article 2)
Warrant Price:	$1.00
Issue Date:	November 9, 2018 and May 7, 2019 (as further described below)
Expiration Date:	November 9, 2026 and May 7, 2027 (as further described below)

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, SWK Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its assignees (“Holder”), is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), set forth above (the “Shares”), at the Warrant Price per Share set forth above, as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant (the “Warrant Price”), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. On November 9, 2018, Holder was issued warrants to purchase 372,023 of the Shares (the “Initial Warrants”), and on May 7, 2019, Holder was issued additional warrants to purchase 115,175 of the Shares (the “Additional Warrants”).  The parties hereto agree that each of the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants are hereby consolidated into this one certificate and amended and restated in their entirety in the form of this Warrant.  The originally issued certificates for the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants shall be of no further force or effect.

ARTICLE 1.

EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise.  This Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or before the November 9, 2026, with respect to the Initial Warrants, and May 7, 2027, with respect to the Additional Warrants.  Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the Company in accordance with Section 5.7 (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder in accordance with Section 5.7).  Unless Holder is exercising the cashless exercise right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account

designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.  Unless otherwise stated in the Notice of Exercise, upon any exercise of this Warrant for less than all of the Shares, such exercised Shares shall first be allocated to the Initial Warrants to the extent of any remaining Initial Warrants, and then to the Additional Warrants.

1.2 Cashless Exercise.  In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Shares determined in accordance with the following equation:

X	=	(A - B) x C
		A

where

X	=	the number of Shares purchasable upon a “cashless exercise” of the Warrant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.2;
A	=	the Fair Market Value (defined below) per share of Common Stock on the date of the “cashless exercise”;
B	=	the Warrant Price for one Share under this Warrant; and
C	=	the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to the provisions of this Article 1.

If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number or zero, then no Shares shall be issued upon a “cashless exercise” pursuant to this Section 1.2.  If the Holder does not agree with the Fair Market Value per share ultimately determined pursuant to Section 1.3(b) or Section 1.3(c), the Holder may, in its sole discretion (i) rescind the “cashless exercise”, (ii) pay the aggregate Warrant Price in the form of, at the Holder’s option, (1) a check payable to the Company or (2) a wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company, or (iii) proceed with the “cashless exercise” at the Fair Market Value per Share so determined.  In the event that, upon the applicable Expiration Date or other termination of this Warrant, the Fair Market Value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to this Section 1.2 as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised and which are then expiring, and the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder.

2

1.3 Fair Market Value.  For purposes of this Warrant, the “Fair Market Value” of a Share as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

(a)If the Common Stock is then publicly listed or quoted on one or more securities exchanges, inter-dealer quotation systems or over-the-counter markets, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price per share of Common Stock reported on the principal such exchange, system or market for the business day immediately before Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company.

(b)If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company’s charter, then the fair market value of a Share shall be equal to all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, assuming for the purposes of this clause (b) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all in-the-money options and warrants are outstanding at the Determination Date.

(c)If the Common Stock is not then publicly listed or quoted on one or more securities exchanges, inter-dealer quotation systems or over-the-counter markets, then the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment; provided, however, if Holder advises the Board in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation.  If the valuation of such investment banking firm results in a fair market value per Share that is more than 15% greater than that determined by the Board, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company.  In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by Holder.

1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.  Promptly after Holder exercises this Warrant and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not fully expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing a warrant to purchase the Shares not yet acquired.

1.5 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 shall execute and deliver a replacement Warrant.

1.6 Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.  For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.  Upon the closing of any

3

Acquisition, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and 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 for the Acquisition and subsequent closing, and the Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly; provided, however, that if pursuant to such Acquisition the entire outstanding Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant are cancelled and the total consideration payable to the holders of such Shares consists entirely of cash, then, upon payment to the holder of this Warrant of an amount equal to the amount Holder would have received if Holder held Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant and such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition less the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares, this Warrant shall be cancelled.

ARTICLE 2.

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc.   If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (a) pays a dividend on the Shares payable in Common Stock, (b) subdivides the outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (d) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each such case (i) the Warrant Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and the denominator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and (ii) the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be concurrently adjusted by multiplying such number by the reciprocal of such fraction.  Such adjustments will take effect on the effective date of such dividend, subdivision, combination or issuance by reclassification, as the case may be. The provisions of this Section 2.1 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, recapitalizations and reorganizations.

2.2 Reserved.

2.3 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances.  In the event that the Company issues (a “Diluting Issuance”) any Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series C Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), except that Sections 6(c)(ii)(C)(1) and 6(c)(ii)(C)(2) in such definition shall be deleted in their entirety) after the applicable Issue Date set forth above, at a price per Share less than the then Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 6(c) of the Certificate of Designations (the “Provisions”).  For purposes of clarity, all references in such Section 6(c) to the “Initial Issue Date” shall mean the applicable Issue Date, and to the “Conversion Price” shall mean the Exercise Price.  The Company agrees that the Provisions, as in effect on the applicable Issue Date, shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect during the term of the Warrant notwithstanding any subsequent amendment, waiver or termination thereof by the Company’s shareholders.  Under no circumstances shall the aggregate Exercise Price payable by Holder upon exercise of the Warrant increase as a result of any adjustment arising from a Diluting Issuance.

4

2.4 No Impairment.  The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article 2 against impairment. If the Company takes any action, a purpose of which is to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that such action is offset and the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

2.5 Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the 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 of the 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.  

2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon any adjustment pursuant to this Article 2, including any adjustments to the Warrant Price or number of Shares that are exercisable under this Warrant, the Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing, and, at the Company’s expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based.

ARTICLE 3.

4.2 Disclosure of Information.  Holder has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to this Warrant and its underlying securities.  Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder has access.

4.3 Investment Experience.  Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk.  Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

4.5 The Act.  Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.  Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available.

5.3 Cash Dividends and Cash Distributions.  Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.3, this Warrant shall at all times represent the Holder’s right to receive the same percentage of any cash dividends or cash distributions made by the Company that would have been received by the Holder if Holder had fully exercised this Warrant for the full amount of the unexercised Shares immediately prior to the close of business on the day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend.  To that end, if the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof declares, orders, pays or makes a cash dividend or other cash distribution on or with respect to its shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such case, the Company shall reserve for, and hold for the benefit of, the Holder, a dollar amount equal to the amount (without interest) that the Holder would have received if it had fully exercised this Warrant for the full amount of the unexercised Shares immediately prior to the close of business on the day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or other cash distribution, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive such amount in full upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of receiving such cash payment, at its sole discretion, the Holder may choose to have the Warrant Price reduced by the amount of the cash, or value of the other securities or other property payable per share.

5.4 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer.  This Warrant and/or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee, and in connection with any proposed transfer of this Warrant or the Shares to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Holder, the transferor shall, if reasonably requested by the Company, deliver a legal opinion of counsel to the transferor (at the transferor’s expense).
