Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Holder has not elected to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the Expiration Date, (ii) the IPO, or (iii) the closing of a Liquidation Event, then such Warrant shall automatically (and without any action on the part of Holder) be deemed to be automatically exercised pursuant to Section 1.2, effective immediately prior to the termination of the Warrant, to the extent such net exercise would result in the issuance of Shares, unless Holder shall earlier provide written notice to the Company that Holder desires that the Warrant expire unexercised. If this Warrant is automatically exercised, the Company shall notify Holder of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable, and Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.
1.2

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, the Holder may elect to convert all or a portion of this Warrant, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion of this Warrant to the Company, with the net exercise election selected in the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder, into up to the number of Shares that is obtained under the following formula:
X = Y (A-B)

Where: X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 1.2.
Y = the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is then being net exercised.
A = the fair market value of one Share.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one Share shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in good faith. The Company will promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the Holder as to the then current fair market value of one Share.
1.3
Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises this Warrant, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, this Warrant shall automatically be reduced by the number of Shares issued and remain exercisable for such remaining Shares not so acquired, and all other terms of the Warrant shall otherwise remain in full force and effect as so adjusted. Upon final exercise of this Warrant for any such remaining number of Shares, this Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Company for cancellation.

Adjustments of Exercise Price. If, subsequent to the Issue Date, the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

No Impairment. The Company shall not through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, intentionally 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 Section 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Section against such impairment.
2.6
Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion 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 or conversion 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, provided, that in the event that such amount is less than $100, the Company shall not be required to make any such payment.
2.7
Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, 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 in effect upon the date thereof, and the number of Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property receivable upon exercise or conversion hereof, and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price and the number of Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property receivable upon exercise or conversion hereof.

Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Holder is a sophisticated investor having such knowledge and experience in business and investment matters that Holder is capable of protecting Holder’s own interests in connection with the acquisition, exercise or disposition of this Warrant. Holder is fully aware of: (i) the highly speculative nature of an investment in the Warrant (and the Shares issuable hereunder); (ii) the potential financial hazards involved; and (iii) the lack of liquidity of the Warrant (and the Shares issuable hereunder) and the restrictions on transferability of the Warrant (and the Shares issuable hereunder). Holder is aware that this Warrant and the Shares are being, or will be, issued to Holder in reliance upon Holder’s representation in this Section 4 and that such securities are restricted securities that cannot be publicly sold except in certain prescribed situations. Holder is acquiring the Warrant for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the 1933 Act in violation of securities laws. Holder has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Warrant or the Shares issuable hereunder. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act and of the conditions under which sales may be made thereunder. Holder has received such information about the Company as Holder deems reasonable, has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company with respect to its business, assets, prospects and financial condition and has verified any answers Holder has received from the Company with independent third parties to the extent Holder deems necessary. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any of its managers, members, or officers have made any representations to Holder regarding the advisability of the transaction described herein.
4.2
Legends. The Shares, if certificated, shall be imprinted with legends in substantially the following form, as well as any other legends required by applicable state securities laws or by any agreement under which the Company is obligated:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER SUCH LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 AND ANY STATE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

4.4
Transfer Procedure. Holder may not transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided, further, that Holder shall be permitted to transfer this Warrant to any of its affiliates without the Company’s prior written consent by giving the Company a written notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred, such notice setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee, and surrendering this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s).
