Exercise Shares |
|
= |
A / B |
|
|
|
|
where: |
A |
= |
the Principal Amount |
|
|
|
|
|
B |
= |

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;
(b) payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check, or (ii) by cancellation of indebtedness; and
(c) this Warrant.
In the event this Warrant is exercised in connection with, or after the closing of, a Qualified Financing, Exercise Shares shall be Qualified Financing Shares. In the event the Notes are repaid pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 of the Notes, Exercise Shares shall be Series C Preferred Stock.
Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. In case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Exercise Shares equal to
the number of such Exercise Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Exercise Shares purchased by the Holder upon all exercises made in accordance with this Section 2.
The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
2.1 Net Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Exercise Shares is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Exercise Shares computed using the following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
A
Where |
X = |
the number of shares of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder |
|
|
|
|
Y = |
the number of shares of Exercise Shares purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation) |
|
|
|
|
A = |
the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Exercise Shares (at the date of such calculation) |
|
|
|
|
B = |
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |
For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share of the Exercise Shares shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that in the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.1 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock, the fair market value per share of Exercise Shares shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering.
2.2 Automatic Exercise. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 if the Holder has not exercised this Warrant prior to the closing of a Company Sale (as defined in the Notes) or an initial public offering, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full in the manner set forth in Section 2.1, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to such closing.
3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its (a) Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and (b) Common Stock to provide for the conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of (x) Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant or (y) Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
3.2 No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any 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 hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
3.3 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.
4. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.
4.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Warrant and Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its account only.
4.2 Securities Are Not Registered; Shareholder Agreements.
(a) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder
realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities.
(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.
(c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.
(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Company and its stockholders have entered into certain agreements that, among other things, set forth certain rights, obligations and responsibilities of each party in connection with the stockholders’ ownership of the capital stock of the Company (the “Stockholder Agreements”), including, but not limited to, that certain Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, as amended, by and between the Company and the stockholders identified therein (the “XXX”). Holder agrees that it shall enter into each Stockholder Agreement, including, but not limited to, the XXX promptly upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2 hereof.
5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash
equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
7. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
8. MODIFICATION; WAIVER. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended or waived by the written consent of the Company and the Holder or by the Company and the Requisite Holders; provided that, the written consent of the Holder shall be required to amend or waive Sections 1(b) and 1(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant may not be amended and the observance of any term may not be waived with respect to any Holder without the written consent of such Holder unless such amendment or waiver applies to all similarly situated Holders in the same manner.
9. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. The Company may elect not to permit a transfer of the Warrant if it has not obtained reasonably satisfactory assurance that such transfer has complied with the terms of the XXX with transfer of this Warrant deemed to constitute a “transfer of Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares” as described in Section 1 of the XXX and for such purpose thereunder.
10. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose upon the advice of counsel (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
11. ASSIGNMENT. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties, provided, however, that the Company may not assign its obligations under this Warrant without the written consent of the Requisite Holders
12. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
13. NOTICES, ETC. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given if delivered in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
14. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
16. LEGENDS. Exercise Shares (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Exercise Shares) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the form set forth in the XXX.
