WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Corporation: ZAMBA CORPORATION
Number of Shares: 35,000
Class of Stock: Common
Initial Exercise Price: $2.80 (which is the average closing price of the Shares
reported for the 5 trading days immediately before the Issue Date)
Issue Date: February 27, 2001
Expiration Date: February 27, 2006
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 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. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Xxxxxx
advises the Board of Directors in writing that Xxxxxx disagrees with such
determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable
investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such
investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of
Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be
paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be
paid by Xxxxxx.
1
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/acquiring entity shall 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.
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 Xxxxxx would have been entitled had Xxxxxx 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 Articles 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
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 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
2.5 NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles of 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 an amount computed by
multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
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.
