(i) In addition to the issuance of the Warrant (defined in Section 3 below), Company shall:
(a) Pay to GRS in cash or cash equivalents, in consideration of the GRS Services, the following amounts:
i. A monthly marketing fee in an amount equal to [**] USD ($[**]) (the “Monthly Retainer”). [**] USD ($[**]) of the Monthly Retainer shall be due in advance on or prior to the first of each month. The remaining [**] USD ($[**]) of the Monthly Retainer shall be deferred until completion of the Company’s planned NASDAQ Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”), at which time as such deferred amounts shall become immediately due and payable. Commencing with the month after an IPO is completed, the entire Monthly Retainer shall be due in advance on or prior to the first of each month.

A commission (the “Commission”) equal to [**] Percent ([**]%) of gross revenues actually collected by, or credited to, the Company or its Affiliates (if any), from the sale of Company Consumer Products in the Territory during the Term, excluding revenue generated from or in connection with the Company’s Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (collectively, “Gross Revenue”), due in arrears within ten (10) days following the end of an applicable month. In the event that in any month Company shall be required to pay GRS a Commission in excess of $[**], then the full Monthly Retainer amount shall be waived for such month, and any amounts previously paid for the Monthly Retainer in such month shall be credited against the amount of the Commission which is due.

(b) At such time as Company shall be required to pay GRS the Commission, Company shall provide GRS a report of its calculation of Gross Revenue and the Commission for the applicable month (each, a “Commission Statement”). Company will maintain books and records relevant to the determination of Gross Revenue hereunder for a period of no less than two (2) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon GRS’s written request within twelve (12) months after receipt of a Commission Statement, Company agrees to provide reasonable supporting documentation concerning such Commission Statement or Commission Statements within thirty (30) days of such written request. Further, Company will permit GRS, or an independent Certified Public Accountant designated by GRS, to make an examination, at GRS’s expense (except as provided below), of the books and records applicable to such Commission Statement(s) and/or the calculation of the Gross Revenue within eighteen (18) months after receipt of a Commission Statement, which examination may take place upon thirty days advance written notice to Company, at Company’s office (or such other place as designated by Company) during reasonable business hours and not more than one (1) time every twelve months. The examination may relate only to the calculation of the Commission payable to GRS during the relevant period. In the event that an examination uncovers an underpayment to GRS of 3% or more annually, Company shall be responsible for all reasonable fees of GRS of such examination. GRS’s audit rights pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for two (2) years following the effective date of termination.

12. Equitable Relief. Each of the Parties recognizes, acknowledges, and agrees that any remedy at law for Company’s breach of the provisions of Sections 4, 5.3(ii), or 6, or for GRS’s breach of Section 6, may be inadequate.

The recipient of such notice will respond in writing within ten (10) calendar days with a statement of its position on and recommended solution to the dispute.

18. Interpretation. Titles of the Sections hereof are for reference only and are not a part of nor to be used in construction of the terms and conditions this Agreement. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, (a) the words “include” and “including” shall be deemed to be immediately followed by the word “without limitation”, and (b) except as otherwise set forth herein, references to “dollars” or “$” shall be to U.S. dollars.
19. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
20. Independent; No Joint Venture. GRS and Company agree that the relationship between them is that of independent contractors, and not as joint venturers or partners.

23. Further Assurances.

This Warrant may be exercised as to the Shares which have vested as set forth above (“Vested Shares”). Any Shares which remain unvested (“Unvested Shares”) as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement and do not automatically vest upon such date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall be void thereafter.
Section 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix I and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Vested Shares being purchased.
1.2 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)/A
where:
X = | the number of Shares to be issued to Holder; |
Y = | the number of Vested Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price); |
A = | the fair market value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and |
B = | the Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
19
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Company’s Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a United States national securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”), the fair market value of a Share shall be the VWAP (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s Common Stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.
1.4 Certain Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, the following terms have the following meanings:
(a) “Board of Directors” means the board of directors of the Company.
(b) “Business Day” means any day except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day which is a federal legal holiday in the United States or the Cayman Islands any day on which banking institutions in the State of California or the Cayman Islands are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.
(c) “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for trading.
(d) “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, or (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported.
1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.6 Replacement of Warrant.

20
1.7 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.
(a) Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the stockholders of the Company of shares representing at least a majority of the Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting power.
(b) Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition, either (i) Holder shall exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 and/or 1.2 and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Acquisition or (ii) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition. In the event the Holder does not notify the Company in writing as to whether it intends to exercise the Warrant prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Acquisition then if, immediately prior to the Acquisition, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Vested Shares for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall promptly notify Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder and Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as the date thereof.
(c) Notice. The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of any proposed Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than seven Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition.
Section 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in Common Stock or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
21
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
2.3 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this 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 of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.
2.4 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class, and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.
Section 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Holder as follows:
(a) The initial Warrant Price referenced on the first page of this Warrant is not greater than the price per share at which the Company most recently sold shares of its capital stock in an arms-length equity financing transaction in which at least $1,000,000 of capital stock was sold.
(b) All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws or restrictions under any Agreement among the Company and Holder. The Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of shares of the Class, Common Stock and other securities as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and the conversion of the Shares into Common Stock or such other securities. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above.

Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely as “Restricted Securities” (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available.

Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel of recognized standing who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon Holder shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer the securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (i) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144, if available, or (ii) in any transaction in which Holder distributes the Warrant or Shares to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration. Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend(s) set forth above to the extent applicable.
(b) The Restricted Securities may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part to any person or entity who is a competitor of the Company, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
