1. Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement. This Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued in connection with that certain Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Holder acquired shares of Series C-2 Stock from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000. This Warrant is issued in conjunction with sale and purchase of such shares. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

2.1 Term. Subject to the terms hereof, this Warrant may be exercised at any time, or from time to time on and after the date set forth above and prior to June 7, 2017 (the “Expiration Date”).
2.2 Number of Shares. This Warrant may be exercised for 13,934,431 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series C-2 Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
2.3 Exercise Price. The ‘‘Exercise Price” shall be equal to the lower of (i) $0.2952 per share of Series C-2 Stock and (ii) 125% of the purchase price per share paid in connection with the issuance by the Company on or before June 7, 2013 of a new series of convertible preferred stock that is initially convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of one-to-one.
2.4 Method of Exercise. The exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant shall be effected by (a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of subscription attached hereto as Schedule A, to the Company at its principal offices and (b) unless such exercise is being made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined below), the delivery of the purchase price by check or bank draft payable to the Company’s order or by wire transfer of same day funds to the Company’s account for the number of shares for which the purchase rights hereunder are being exercised. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company and payment in full is made as provided herein or at such later date as may be specified in the executed form of subscription, and at such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Series C-2 Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise, as provided herein, shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional interest in a share of Series C-2 Stock would, except for the provision of this Section 2.4, be delivered upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivery of a fractional share thereof, shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional share as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
2.5 Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by paying the Exercise Price in the manner provided above in Section 2.4, Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part pursuant to this Section 2.5 and receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a duly executed copy of the form of subscription attached hereto as Schedule A indicating a “Cashless Exercise” with respect to all or part of the portion of this Warrant being exercised, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of shares of Series C-2 Stock computed using the following formula (a ‘‘Cashless Exercise”):
Where X = | The number of shares of Series C-2 Stock to be issued to Holder. |
Y = | The number of shares of Series C-2 Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. |
A = | The fair market value of one share of Series C-2 Stock. |
B = | Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations). |
For purposes of this Section, the fair market value of one share of Series C-2 Stock shall be the fair market value of such share as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors; provided that if the exercise is in connection with the initial public offering of the Common Stock (the “IPO”) fair market value shall be determined by taking into account the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to the IPO.
2
No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.5, and if the number of shares to be issued determined in accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting fractional share on the date of exercise as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
2.6 Additional Warrants. If this Warrant is physically surrendered for exercise pursuant to the Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 and the number of shares of Series C-2 Stock represented by this Warrant is greater than the number of shares of Series C-2 Stock being acquired upon exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of this Warrant and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8.9) representing the right to purchase the number of shares of Series C-2 Stock purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of shares of Series C-2 Stock with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.
3. Adjustments to Exercise Price. The number and kind of shares of Series C-2 Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
3.1 Splits and Subdivisions. If the Company should at any time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Series C-2 Stock or the determination of the holders of Series C-2 Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Series C-2 Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as the “Series C-2 Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Series C-2 Stock or Series C-2 Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Series C-2 Stock which this Warrant is exercisable for, if any, shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

3
3.4 Other Dividends and Distributions.

3.5 Reclassification, Conversion or Reorganization. If the Series C-2 Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, conversion, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 above, or a reorganization, merger or consolidation provided for in Section 3.3 above), then and in each such event the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, conversion, reclassification or other change, to which a holder of the number of shares of Series C-2 Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, conversion, reclassification or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall at all times following the date hereof reserve and keep available a number of its authorized shares of Series C-2 Stock, free from all preemptive rights therein, which shall be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant and (b) shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that all shares of Series C-2 Stock as may be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, folly paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, Hens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
