5. Indemnification.
5.1 Of Vertegen. ConforMIS agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Vertegen and its directors, officers, employees, advisors, consultants, attorneys and other agents and representatives (collectively, “Vertegen Indemnitees”) against any and all damages, suits, actions or other claims for death, illness, personal injury, property damage, improper business practices or any other cause of action arising out of the manufacture, use, sale, or other disposition by ConforMIS or any sublicensee of ConforMIS, or their respective customers, of Licensed Products, provided that any such Vertegen Indemnitee promptly notifies ConforMIS in writing of any such claim, promptly tenders the control of the defense and settlement of any such claim to ConforMIS (at ConforMIS’ expense and with ConforMIS’ choice of counsel), and cooperates fully with ConforMIS (at ConforMIS’ request and expense) in defending or settling such claim, including but not limited to providing any information or materials necessary for ConforMIS to perform the foregoing. ConforMIS will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim that obligates any Vertegen Indemnitee to pay any amount of
money without such Vertegen Indemnitee’s prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
5.2 Of ConforMIS. Vertegen agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend ConforMIS and its directors, officers, employees, advisors, consultants, attorneys and other agents and representatives (collectively, “ConforMIS Indemnitees”) against any and all damages, suits, actions or other claims for death, illness, personal injury, property damage, improper business practices or any other cause of action arising out of the manufacture, use, sale, or other disposition by Vertegen or any sublicensee of Vertegen, or their respective customers, of any products or services the development, performance, manufacture, use, or sale of which is (a) not covered under issued and/or pending claims of the Licensed Patent and (b) not otherwise covered under, utilizing or derived from the Licensed IP, provided that any such ConforMIS Indemnitee promptly notifies Vertegen in writing of any such claim, promptly tenders the control of the defense and settlement of any such claim to Vertegen (at Vertegen’s expense and with Vertegen’s choice of counsel), and cooperates fully with Vertegen (at Vertegen’s request and expense) in defending or settling such claim, including but not limited to providing any information or materials necessary for Vertegen to perform the foregoing. Vertegen will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim that obligates such ConforMIS Indemnitee to pay any amount of money without such ConforMIS Indemnitee’s prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
5.3 Limitations on Liability. Neither party will be liable to the other or any third party for any indirect, special or consequential damages, whether grounded in tort (including negligence), strict liability, contract or otherwise. Vertegen will not have any responsibilities or liabilities whatsoever with respect to products or services offered by ConforMIS. ConforMIS will not have any responsibilities or liabilities whatsoever with respect to Licensed Products or any other products or services offered by Vertegen.
6. Patent Infringement.
6.1 Suspected Infringement. Each party will promptly inform the other party in writing of any suspected infringement of any Licensed IP.
6.2 Infringement of Licensed Patent. During the term of this Agreement, Vertegen and ConforMIS each will have the right to institute an action for infringement of a Licensed Patent against a third party in accordance with the following:
(a) If Vertegen and ConforMIS agree to institute suit jointly, the suit will be brought in both their names, the out-of-pocket costs thereof will be borne equally, and any recovery or settlement will be shared equally. ConforMIS and Vertegen will agree to the manner in which they will exercise control over such action. Either party may, if it so desires, also be represented by separate counsel of its own selection, the fees for which counsel will be paid by such party.
(b) In the absence of agreement to institute a suit jointly pursuant to paragraph (a) above, ConforMIS may institute suit, and, at its option, join Vertegen as a plaintiff. If ConforMIS decides to institute suit, then it will notify Vertegen in writing. Vertegen’s failure to respond to such notice in writing, within 15 days after receipt of such notice, that it will join in
enforcing the patent pursuant to the provisions hereof, will be deemed conclusively to be Vertegen’s assignment to ConforMIS of all rights, causes of action, and damages resulting from any such alleged infringement. ConforMIS will bear the entire cost of such litigation, including expenses incurred by Vertegen, if any, and will be entitled to retain the entire amount of any recovery or settlement, subject to the payment of royalties hereunder.
(c) In the absence of agreement to institute a suit jointly pursuant to paragraph (a) above and if ConforMIS notifies Vertegen that it has decided not to join in or institute a suit, as provided in (b) above, Vertegen may institute suit. Vertegen will bear the entire cost of such litigation, including expenses incurred by ConforMIS, if any, and will be entitled to retain the entire amount of any recovery or settlement.
6.3 Abandonment of Suit. Should either Vertegen or ConforMIS commence a suit under the provisions of Section 6.2 and thereafter elect to abandon the same, it will give timely notice to the other party who may, if it so desires, continue prosecution of such suit. Upon any recovery in such suit, any proceeds from the litigation will be distributed as follows: first, the party continuing such suit will be entitled to recover all of its litigation expenses; second, the party abandoning such suit will be entitled to recover all of its litigation expenses; and third, any additional proceeds will be distributed to the party continuing such suit, subject to the payment by ConforMIS of royalties hereunder.
7. Confidentiality. During the term of this Agreement and indefinitely thereafter, each party will use and reproduce the other party’s Confidential Information only for purposes set forth in this Agreement and only to the extent necessary for such purpose and will restrict disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information to its employees, consultants or independent contractors with a need to know and will not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written approval of the other party. The foregoing obligations will not apply to the extent that information: (a) is now in the public domain or subsequently enters the public domain by publication or otherwise through no action or fault of the receiving party; (b) is known to receiving party without restriction, prior to receipt from the disclosing party under this Agreement, from its own independent sources as evidenced by the receiving party’s written records, and which was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the disclosing party; (c) is received from any third party reasonably known by such receiving party to have a legal right to transmit such information, and not under any obligation to keep such information confidential; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party’s employees or agents provided that the receiving party can show that those same employees or agents had no access to the Confidential Information received hereunder. In the event any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed under applicable law or in a judicial or other governmental investigation or proceeding, the disclosing party will be given prior notice and opportunity to contest the need for such disclosure or to seek a protective order therefor.
8. Sublicenses and Licenses. ConforMIS may grant sublicense(s) to the Licensed IP in the ConforMIS Field of Use and/or Vertegen Field of Use during the term of this Agreement in its sole discretion without compensation or other recourse to Vertegen; provided that any such sublicense will be expressly subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. ConforMIS may not otherwise grant any sublicenses to the Licensed IP.
9. Termination.
9.1 By ConforMIS. ConforMIS may terminate this Agreement by giving Vertegen notice in writing at least 30 days in advance of the effective date of termination selected by ConforMIS.
9.2 By Vertegen. Vertegen may terminate this Agreement if (a) ConforMIS is in material breach of any provision of this Agreement, and (b) ConforMIS fails to show reasonable efforts to remedy any such default, breach, or false report within 90 days after written notice thereof by Vertegen, and (c) ConforMIS fails to remedy any such default, breach, or false report within 180 days after written notice thereof by Vertegen.
9.3 Termination under Vertegen Field of Use. Vertegen may also terminate ConforMIS’ rights pursuant to this Agreement regarding the Vertegen Field of Use if (a) ConforMIS (i) fails to “Develop” (as defined below) a Licensed Product within three years after the Effective Date, and (ii) fails to remedy such failure to Develop a Licensed Product within 180 days after written notice thereof by Vertegen, or (b) ConforMIS (i) fails to “Commercialize” (as defined below) a Licensed Product within five years after the Effective Date, (ii) fails to show reasonable efforts to Commercialize a Licensed Product within 180 days after written notice thereof by Vertegen, and (iii) fails to remedy such failure to Commercialize a Licensed Product within one year after written notice thereof by Vertegen. For purposes of this paragraph, “Develop” means developing a working prototype of a Licensed Product in the Vertegen Field of Use which is in clinical trials and has been used on at least five patients. For purposes of this paragraph, “Commercialize” means collecting at least $10,000 in revenue from the sale of Licensed Products in the Vertegen Field of Use, including revenue from direct sales, distributors or other agents, or royalty payments from sublicenses of the Licensed Intellectual Property. Upon a termination of ConforMIS’ rights pursuant to this Agreement regarding the Vertegen Field of Use in accordance with this Section 9.3, (1) ConforMIS’ rights in Section 2.1 will no longer apply in the Vertegen Field of Use, (2) ConforMIS will no longer have the right to institute an action for infringement of a Licensed Patent in the Vertegen Field of Use under Sections 6.2 or 6.3, and (3) ConforMIS may no longer grant sublicense(s) to the Licensed IP in the Vertegen Field of Use pursuant to Section 8 (and any such then existing sublicenses shall terminate); but all other terms and provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
9.4 Survival of Terms. Surviving any termination or expiration of this Agreement are:
(a) Any cause of action or claim of ConforMIS or Vertegen, accrued or to accrue, because of any breach or default by the other party; and
(b) The provisions of Sections 1, 2.2, and 4, 5, 7 and 9 through 18 and any other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive.
10. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned without the written permission of the parties hereto; provided, however, that this Agreement will be automatically assigned to the successor entity of either party upon the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of such party, or a merger, consolidation or similar transaction in which such party is not the surviving entity.
11. Further Assurances. After this Agreement has been signed by both parties, each party will execute such documents and take such steps as the other party may reasonably require to fulfill the provisions of and to give to each party the full benefit of this Agreement.
12. Choice of Law; Arbitration; Venue. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding conflict of laws provisions. Any disputes arising out of this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”). The arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules in (a) if Vertegen institutes the arbitration, the county, whether within or outside California, in which ConforMIS then has its principal office (currently San Mateo County, California) or (b) if ConforMIS institutes the arbitration, the county, whether within or outside Massachusetts, in which Vertegen then has its principal office (currently Suffolk County, Massachusetts). A judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. The non-prevailing party in the arbitration will pay all fees and charges of the American Arbitration Association; each party, however, will be responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses connected with the presentation of its respective case.

WARRANT
CONFORMIS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE A MAXIMUM OF
200,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
(Void after April 10, 2013)
THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF THE ACT.
THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
THIS WARRANT (this “Warrant”) has been issued to Vertegen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Holder”) as of April 10, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) for a purchase price of $5,000.00 in connection with the License Agreement entered into by and between the Holder and ConforMIS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). This Warrant certifies that Holder, or rightful assigns, for value received, is entitled to purchase from the Company, subject to the terms set forth below, a maximum of 200,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) for cash at a price of $0.55 per share (the “Exercise Price”) (subject to adjustment as provided herein) at any time or from time to time up to and including 5:00 p.m. (California Time) on the earlier of (i) a sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale or exchange to a subsidiary corporation of the Company or a sale or exchange effected for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction) or the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction shall own less than a majority of the voting securities or power of the surviving entity immediately subsequent to such transaction (other than a merger or consolidation effected for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction), or (ii) April 10, 2013, such earliest date being referred to herein as the “Expiration Date,” upon surrender to the Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company may advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Exercise, Issuance of Certificates, Reduction in Number of Warrant Shares.
1.1 General. This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the Holder of record hereof on or prior to the Expiration Date, at any time or from time to time following its issuance, for all or any part of the Warrant Shares (but not for a fraction of a share) which may be purchased hereunder, as that number may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 of this Warrant. The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, properly endorsed, the completed and executed Form of Subscription delivered, and payment made for such Warrant Shares. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which the Holder hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company’s expense as soon as practicable after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. In case of a purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant surrendered upon such purchase. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be registered in the name of such Holder.
1.2 Net Issue Exercise of Warrant. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, Holder may elect to receive shares of Common Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Form of Subscription in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = 
Where X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder;
Y= the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation);
A= the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation); and
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 the Company’s Common Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in the good faith exercise of its reasonable business judgment; provided, however, that if at the time of such
exercise the Company’s Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, then the per share fair market value of the Common Stock shall be calculated based on the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the over-the-counter market summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal for the five trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value of the Common Stock; provided further, that if this Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, the per shares fair market value of the Common Stock shall be calculated based on the per share offering price of the Common Stock to the public of the Company’s initial public offering.
2. Warrant Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares, shall, upon issuance and, if applicable, payment of the applicable Exercise Price, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of all liens and encumbrances, except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant Shares granted pursuant to this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor.
3. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the total number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise 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 Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
3.1 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock, stock split, subdivision or other similar transaction occurring after the Effective Date into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder proportionately increased. Conversely, in the event the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be decreased by reverse stock split, combination, consolidation, or other similar transaction occurring after the Effective Date into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder proportionately decreased.
3.2 Reclassification. If any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any reorganization, consolidation, merger, or any sale, lease, license, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all, of the business and/or assets of the Company (a “Reclassification Event”) shall be effected in such
a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property, then, as a condition of such Reclassification Event lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities, or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby. In any Reclassification Event, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of Warrant Shares), shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.
3.3 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price or any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares, the 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 the Company. The notice shall be prepared and signed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and shall state the Exercise 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. No Voting or Dividend Rights. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof the right to vote or to consent to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company on any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the 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.
5. Compliance with Securities Act: Transferability of Warrant, Disposition of Warrant Shares.
5.1 Compliance with the Securities Act. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment and that it shall not offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares except under circumstances which shall not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities laws. All Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED EXCEPT (I) IN CONJUNCTION
WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT, (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144, OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE IS NOT REQUIRED AS TO SAID SALE, OFFER OR DISTRIBUTION.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER FOR A PERIOD OF UP TO 180 DAYS FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT FOR AN OFFERING OF THE CORPORATION’S SECURITIES PURSUANT TO AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF SUCH SECURITIES. A COPY OF THAT AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.
5.2 Access to Information; Pre-Existing Relationship. Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. Holder has had access to such financial and other information as is necessary in order for Holder to make a fully informed decision as to investment in the Company, and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to which Holder has had access. Holder further represents and warrants that the Holder has either (i) a pre-existing relationship with the Company or one or more of its officers or directors consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and duration which enable the Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or the officer or director with whom such relationship exists or (ii) such business or financial expertise as to be able to protect the Holder’s own interests in connection with the purchase of the Warrant Shares.
5.3 Warrant Transferable. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws under which this Warrant was purchased, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed; provided, however, that the Holder shall notify the Company in writing in advance of any proposed transfer and shall not transfer this Warrant or any rights hereunder to any person or entity which is then engaged in a business that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, is in direct competition with the Company.
5.4 Disposition of Warrant Shares. With respect to any offer, sale, or other disposition of the Warrant or any Warrant Shares, the Holder hereof and each subsequent Holder of this Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, and indicating whether or not
under the Act such Warrant or certificates for such Warrant Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act. Promptly upon receiving such written notice and opinion, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such Holder that such Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 5.4 that the opinion of the counsel for the Holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly after such determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Warrant or Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may request to provide reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each Warrant and certificate representing Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the Holder, such legend is not required in order to insure compliance with the Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
5.5 Market Standoff. The Holder agrees that if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters in connection with registration of the initial public offering of any securities of the Company under the Act, the Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Warrant Shares or any other securities of the Company during the 180 day period following the effective date of such registration statement. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such 180 day period.
6. 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; provided, however, that this Warrant may be amended together with the other Series Warrants by holders of Series Warrants representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable under all of the Series Warrants, so long as such amendment does not affect the Holder in a disproportionate manner relative to the other holders of Series Warrants.
7. Notices. Any notice, request, or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered by hand or messenger or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier to each such Holder at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other address as either may from time to time provide to the other. Each such notice or other communication shall be treated as effective or having been given (1) when delivered if delivered personally, (2) if sent by registered or certified mail, at the earlier of its receipt or five business days after the same has been registered or certified as aforesaid, or (3) if sent by overnight courier, on the next business day after the same has been deposited with a nationally recognized courier service.
8. Other Notices. If at any time:
(1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock;
(2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock;
(3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(4) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation;
(5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company; or
(6) there shall be an initial public offering of Company securities;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, (a) at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the 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, and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, or public offering, at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place; provided, however, that the Holder shall make a best efforts attempt to respond to such notice as early as possible after the receipt thereof. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, conversion, or public offering, as the case may be.
9. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, excluding those laws that direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
10. Lost or Stolen Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
11. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the Holder entitled to
purchase such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) multiplied by the difference between the then effective Exercise Price and the fair market value of such share (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) as of the date the Form of Subscription is received by the Company.
12. No Impairment. The Company shall not, by charter amendment or by 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 terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company shall at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to Holder, the continued validity of this Warrant and the Company’s obligations hereunder.
13. Successors and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the Holder.
