This Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on October 11, 2019 (the “Expiration Date”). Both the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment and change as provided herein. This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 1, 2012.
1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Warrant the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
“1933 Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
“Business Day” shall mean Monday through Friday except for federal public holidays.
“Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company and any other securities at any time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
“Fair Market Value” or “FMV” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date shall mean:
(a) If traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Company on such exchange or market over the five (5) Trading Days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation;
(b) If actively traded over-the-counter, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 10 Trading Days ending immediately prior to the applicable date of valuation; and
(c) If there is no active public market, the Fair Market Value shall be the value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors upon a review of relevant factors, including due consideration of the Holder’s determination of the value of the Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors 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 is greater than that determined by the board of directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.
“SEC” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“Trading Day” shall mean a day on which the securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be at the time listed, or the over-the-counter market, as applicable, is open for general trading of securities and shares of the Common Stock are traded.

(a) surrendering this Warrant at the address of the Company, and either
(b) providing payment, by check, by wire transfer, or by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company due the Holder, of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Purchase Price (the “Exercise Amount”), or
(c) electing, by written notice to the Company on the Notice of Exercise duly executed by the Holder, to receive a number of Warrant Shares, determined in accordance with the formula set forth below (the “Election”), in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

|
|
A =

The FMV of one Warrant Share on the date that the relevant Notice of Exercise is received by the Company.
|
|

2.2 Common Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares. As soon as practicable on or after the date of an exercise of this Warrant and in any event within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company shall deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant. In lieu thereof the Company shall pay Holder the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.
2.3 Partial Exercise: Effective Date of Exercise. In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Holder and the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. The Company acknowledges that the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.
3. TAXES. The Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the delivery of shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the delivery of any certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be required to deliver any stock certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. The number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following:
4.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares of Common Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally increased and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any combination of the Company’s Common Stock.
4.2 Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions of Stock or Other Securities or Property. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) payable in (a) securities of the Company or (b) assets (excluding cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such case, the Holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such making, issuance or record date.
4.3 Reclassification, Conversion. If the Company, by reclassification of securities or conversion of securities or otherwise, shall 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 shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification or conversion or other change and the Purchase Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4.
4.4 Adjustment for Capital Reorganization. Merger or Consolidation. In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the number of shares of stock or other securities or property that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.
4.5 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Purchase Price is adjusted, or the Company’s Board of Directors makes a determination of Fair Market Value in connection with any such adjustment, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder in writing of any such adjustment or FMV determination, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, the computation by which such adjustment was made, and the basis for the FMV determination.
4.6 No Impairment. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant to be observed or performed by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against impairment.
5. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will cause to be executed and delivered in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
6. REPRESENTATION AND COVENANT. The Company hereby represents and warrants that all shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant, when delivered pursuant to the terms hereof, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Further, the Company hereby covenants to reserve such number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as needed for issuance pursuant to this Warrant.
7. TRANSFER. Subject to Section 9, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred by the Holder upon delivery of the form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Assignment”), duly executed by the Holder, surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed at the address of the Company and payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Upon any partial transfer, the Holder and Company will cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the portion of this Warrant not so transferred. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the person in possession of this Warrant may be treated by the Company, and all other persons dealing with this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however that until a transfer of this Warrant is duly registered on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.
8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement filed with the SEC under the 1933 Act, covering the disposition or sale of this Warrant or the Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant hereto, and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, such Holder will not sell, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate any or all such Warrants or Common Stock, as the case may be, unless either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is not required in connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such securities is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants that he/she/it is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the 1933 Act, as amended by Section 413 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant or acquired pursuant hereto shall be acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, that the Holder has had such opportunity as such Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit the Holder to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired pursuant to this Warrant for an indefinite period; that the Holder understands that the shares of stock acquired pursuant to this Warrant will not be registered under the 1933 Act (unless otherwise required pursuant to exercise by the Holder of the registration rights, if any, previously granted to the Holder) and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act and that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least six months from the date the shares are acquired, and even then will not be available unless a public market then exists for the stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that all stock certificates representing shares of stock issued to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
10. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS STOCKHOLDERS. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Until the Holder acquires Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof shall cause such Holder hereof to be a shareholder of the Company for any purpose.
