2. Method of Exercise: Net Issue Exercise.
2.1. Method of Exercise; Payment Issuance of New Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part and from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased. The Warrantholder shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased: shall be promptly delivered to the holder hereof as soon as possible (and in any event within five business days of receipt of such notice) and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised, a new warrant lit representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible (and in any event within such five business day period).
2.2. Non-Cash Exercise.
(a) In lieu of payment in cash, the rights represented by this Warrant may also be exercised by a written notice of exercise in the form of Annex A attached hereto, providing for the non-cash exercise of this Warrant for the Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), specifying that this non-cash exercise election has been made, and the net number of Shares to be issued after giving effect to such non-cash exercise. In the event the Warrantholder makes such election, Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares computed using the following formula:
X |
= | Y(A –B) | ||||||
A |
2
Where:
I. |
X= |
THE NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE ISSUED TO THE HOLDER | ||
Y = |
the number of Shares purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the ‘Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (as of the date of such non-cash exercise) | |||
A = |
the Fair Market Value of one Share of Preferred Stock (as f the date of such non-cash exercise) | |||
B = |
Exercise Price of one Share of Preferred Stock (as adjusted to the date of such non-cash exercise) |
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.2, the “Fair Market Value” of one share of the Company’s Preferred Stock shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible as of the date of the exercise, multiplied by the “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to this Section 2.2). The Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock shall be equal to either (i) if the exercise of this Warrant occurs in connection with an initial public offering of the Company, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the “initial price to public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to the initial public offering, or (ii) if the exercise of this Warrant occurs after an initial public offering of the Company but not in connection therewith, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the average of the closing price(s) of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted over the counter or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed as such closing prices are published in The Wall Street Journal for the fifteen trading days (or such lesser number of trading days as the Stock may have been actually trading) ending on the day prior to the date of determination of Fair Market Value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Warrant is exercised in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, Fair Market Value shall mean the value that would have been allocable to or received in respect of a Warrant Share had the Warrant been exercised prior to such merger or sale. If the Common Stock is not traded Over-The-Counter or on an exchange, or if the Warrant is not exercised in connection: with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.
2.3. Exercise Into Common Stock. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, at the election of the holder, this Warrant may be exercised into the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Shares issuable upon such exercise are then convertible.
2.4. Automatic Exercise. Immediately before the expiration or termination of this Warrant, to the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, and if the Fair Market Value of one share of whichever is applicable of either (i) the Preferred Stock subject to this Warrant or (ii) the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock subject to this Warrant, is greater than the Exercise Price, then in effect as adjusted pursuant to this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 2.2 above, even if not surrendered. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.2 (b) above. To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically
3
exercised pursuant to this Section, the Company agrees to promptly notify the Warrantholder of the number of Shares, if any, the holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.
2.5. Exercise in Connection with an Initial Public Offering, Sale or Merger. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant is made or to be made in connection with the occurrence of a public offering, sale or merger of the Company, the exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant shall, at the election of the Warrantholder, be conditioned upon the consummation of the public offering., sale or merger of the Company, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until the consummation of such transaction.

Such New Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions of this section (b) shall similarly apply to successive mergers and sales.
