WARRANT TO PURCHASE 40,000
SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
Void after October 9, 2005
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Silicon Valley Bank (the
"Holder") is entitled to purchase, on the terms and subject to the conditions
hereof, up to 40,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), of Array BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), at a per share purchase price of $1.00 (the
"Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment as provided herein.
The following terms shall apply to this Warrant:
1. Exercise of Warrant. The terms and conditions upon which this
Warrant may be exercised, and the Series A Preferred Stock covered hereby (the
"Warrant Shares"), may be purchased, are as follows:
1.1 Number of Shares. This Warrant is being delivered to
Holder as additional consideration for Holder's extension of a credit facility
to the Company, pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated of
even date herewith. The number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
initially exercisable is 40,000 shares, which number is subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant.
1.2 Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part at any time or from time to time up until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard
Time, October 9, 2005, and shall be void thereafter; provided that the Company
shall give Holder written notice of Xxxxxx's right to exercise this Warrant not
more than 90 days and not less than 30 days before such date. If the notice is
not so given, the expiration date shall automatically be extended until 30 days
after the date the Company delivers the notice to Holder. The exercise of the
purchase rights hereunder, in whole or in part shall be effected by (a) the
surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of
the subscription attached as EXHIBIT A hereto, to the Company at its principal
offices, and (b) the delivery of the Exercise Price by (i) check or bank draft
payable to the Company's order,
2
or (ii) by wire transfer to the Company's account for the number of Warrant
Shares for which the purchase rights hereunder are being exercised.
1.3 Automatic Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1
above, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full in
the manner set forth in Section 1.4 hereof, without any further action on
behalf of the Holder on the earliest of a date: (a) ten (10) days prior to a
"Sale of the Company" (as defined), or (b) immediately prior to the closing of
an underwritten initial public offering by the Company in which the Series A
Preferred Stock converts automatically into Common Stock (an "IPO"). A "Sale of
the Company" shall mean either of the following (i) the acquisition of all or
substantially all of the capital stock of the Company by another entity by
means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any
merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the
Company); or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company; unless the Company's shareholders of record as constituted immediately
prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition ro
sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the corporation's
acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold at least 50% of the voting power of the
surviving or acquiring entity. In connection with the exercise of this Warrant
pursuant to clause (a) and clause (b) of this Section 1.3, such exercise shall
be conditioned upon the closing of such Sale of the Company or IPO and the
Warrant shall not be deemed to have been exercised until the closing of such
Sale of the Company or IPO.
(b) Public Offering. For purposes of this Warrant,
IPO means the sale of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for an underwritten
public offering (other than a registration on Form S-8, Form S-4 or comparable
forms), which results in aggregate cash proceeds (prior to underwriters'
commissions and expenses) to the Company of more than $7,500,000. Immediately
prior to the closing of any Public Offering prior to the Expiration Date, any
portion of this Warrant then not exercised or exercisable will be exercisable
for the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock that would have resulted
from the conversion, pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation then
in effect of the maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock that could have
been acquired by the Holder upon the exercise of the unexpired portion of this
Warrant immediately prior to such Public Offering.
1.4 Net Issue Election.
(a) Upon automatic exercise of this Warrant as
provided in Section 1.3 above or at any time or from time to time as the Holder
may elect, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, without the payment by the
Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Series A Preferred Stock
equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of
this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice
attached hereto as EXHIBIT B duly executed, at the principal office of the
Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Series A Preferred Stock as is computed using
the following formula:
2
3
X= Y(A-B)
------
A
where: X= the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
Y= the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock covered by this
Warrant in respect of which the net
issue election is made.
A= the fair market value of one share
of Series A Preferred Stock, as
determined pursuant to subsection
(b) below, as at the time the net
issue election is made.
B= the Exercise Price in effect under
this Warrant at the time the net
issue election is made.
(b) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes
of this Section, fair market value of one share of Series A Preferred Stock as
of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:
(i) In the case of an initial public
offering of the Common Stock, the initial "Price to Public" of one share of
Common Stock specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering,
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of
Series A Preferred Stock converts as of that date;
(ii) In the case of a Sale of the Company,
the effective per share consideration to be received in a Sale of the Company
by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, or if no such price is set forth in
the agreement concerning the Sale of the Company, then as determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors;
(iii) If the Company's Common Stock is
listed on a security exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the closing price
of the Company's Common Stock on such exchange or the Nasdaq National Market on
the day notice of exercise is provided to the Company under Section 1.4(b)
hereof, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each
share of Series A Preferred Stock converts as of that date; or
(iv) If Sections 1.4(b)(i), (ii), or (iii)
do not apply, then as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive and binding on the holder hereof.
1.5 Issuance of Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase
rights, in whole or in part, evidenced by this Warrant, a certificate or
certificates for the purchased Warrant Shares shall be issued by the Company to
the Holder as soon as practicable. Upon the partial exercise of this Warrant,
the Company shall, as soon as practicable, deliver to the Holder a warrant in
like tenor as this Warrant to purchase the number of shares in respect of which
this Warrant shall not have been exercised.

2. Certain Adjustments.
2.1 Series A Preferred Stock Dividends. If the Company at any
time prior to the expiration of this Warrant shall pay a dividend with respect
to the Company's Series A Preferred Stock payable in shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, or make any distribution with respect to the Company's Series
A Preferred Stock, then the purchase price per share shall be appropriately
decreased, and the number of Warrant Shares shall be appropriately increased in
proportion to such dividend.
2.2 Splits and Subdivisions. In the event the Company should
at any time or from time to time fix a record date for a split or subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, or the
determination of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional
shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company or other securities or rights
convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or
indirectly, additional shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock
(hereinafter referred to as the "Series A Preferred Stock Equivalents") without
payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Series
A Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock Equivalents (including the
additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion or
exercise thereof), then, and as of such record date (or the date of such
distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the per share
purchase price shall be appropriately decreased, and the number of Warrant
Shares shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase of
outstanding shares.
2.3 Combination of Shares. If the number of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by
a combination of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the
Company, the per share purchase price shall be appropriately increased and the
number of Warrant Shares shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding shares.
2.4 Adjustments for Other Distributions. In the event the
Company shall declare a distribution with respect to the Series A Preferred
Stock payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued
by the Company or other persons, assets, or options, or rights not referred to
above, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 2, upon exercise
of this Warrant the holder hereof shall be entitled to a proportionate share of
any such distribution as though such holder was the holder of the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company into which this Warrant may
be exercised as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders
of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company entitled to receive such
distribution.
2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. In the case of each
adjustment or readjustment of the purchase price pursuant to this Section 2,
the Company will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and cause a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment, and showing in detail the fact upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based to be delivered to the holder of this Warrant. The
Company will, upon the written request at any time of the holder of this
Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting
forth:
4
5
(a) such adjustments and readjustments;
(b) the purchase price at the time in effect; and
(c) the number of Warrant Shares receivable upon the
exercise of the Warrant.
2.6 Notice of Record Date, etc. In the event of any taking by
the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities of the
Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to
receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend), or other distribution, or
any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock
of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other
right, or any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, the Company will mail to
the holder of this Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the earliest date
specified therein, a notice specifying:
(a) The date on which such record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or right, and the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution, or right; or (b) The date on which
any such reorganization, or reclassification is expected to become effective,
and the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote thereon.
