WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Corporation: Sandbox Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation
Number of Shares: 6,250
Class of Stock: Common
Initial Exercise Price: $2.00 per share
Issue Date: September 17, 1997
Expiration Date: September 16, 2000
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for
other good and valuable consideration, SILICON VALLEY BANK ("Holder") is
entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
class of securities (the "Shares") of the corporation (the "Company") at the
initial exercise price per Share (the "Warrant Price") all as set forth above
and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions
and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.
ARTICLE 1: EXERCISE.
---------
1.1. Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering
a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as
Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. 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 Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2. Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified
in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or
in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair
market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair
market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be
determined pursuant to Section 1.4.
1.3. Intentionally Omitted
1.4. Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded in a public market,
the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or
the closing price of the Company's
stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day
immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the
Shares are not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company
shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.
1.5. Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder
exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully
exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the
Shares not so acquired.
1.6. 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 at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a
new warrant of like tenor.
1.7. Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.
1.7.1. "Acquisition". For the purpose of this Warrant, "Acquisition"
means any sale, license, 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.
1.7.2. Assumption of Warrant. Upon the closing of any Acquisition the
successor entity may, at its option, 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. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted
accordingly. If the successor entity does not assume the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
automatically converted pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall
participate in the Acquisition as a holder of the Shares (or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) on the same terms as other holders of
the same class of securities of the Company.
ARTICLE 2: ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
--------------------------
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a
dividend on its common stock (or the Shares if the Shares are securities other
than common stock) payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the
outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, or, if the
Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides the Shares in a
transaction that increases the amount of common stock into which the Shares are
convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder
shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities
to which Holder would have been
2
entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or
subdivision occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a
change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property
that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or
other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the
outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as
the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company's
common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new
Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide
for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation,
adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property
issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions,
or other events.
2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are
combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number
of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.
2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The Shares shall be afforded
the protections (if any) against diluting issuances of stock as are prescribed
for the class of stock of the Shares under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended from time to time.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Certificate of I 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 against impairment. If the Company
takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as
described above that adversely affects Holder's rights under this Warrant, the
Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the
aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.
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 amount computed by
multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
3
2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant
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
Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments
leading to such Warrant Price.
