(a) Repayment. Borrower shall pay principal and interest on each Advance from the date it is made until it has been paid in full, on the terms set forth in the applicable Note. Amounts not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate.

(c) Default Rate. While an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest on the Loan shall be increased to the Default Rate. Lender’s failure to charge or accrue interest at the Default Rate during the existence of a Default shall not be deemed a waiver by Lender of its right or claim thereto.
(d) Date. Whenever any payment due under the Loan Documents is due on a day other than a business day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.
2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender the following:
(a) Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee, which has been previously paid by Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender to Lender’s Expenses and other Obligations;
(b) Late Fee. On demand, a late charge on any sums due hereunder that are not paid when due, in an amount equal to 2% of the past due amount, payable on demand.
(c) Lender’s Expenses. The payment of all Lender’s Expenses, which may become due to Lender by Borrower hereunder shall be payable by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. All Lender’s Expenses not paid when due shall bear interest as principal at the then-applicable rate of interest.

The Purchase Price may be paid (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by the surrender by the Holder to the Company of any promissory notes or other obligations issued by the Company, with all such notes and obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of surrender, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.
4. Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of 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 annexed hereto 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 Preferred Stock as is computed using the following formula:
X= | Y(A–B) | |||||||
A |
where: | X = | the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4. | ||
Y = | the number of shares of Preferred Stock covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4. | |||
A = | the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Preferred Stock, as determined at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4. | |||
B = | the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4. |
“Fair Market Value” of a share of Preferred Stock (or fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) if the Preferred Stock has been automatically converted into Common Stock) as of the date that the net issue election is made (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:
(i) If the net issue election is made in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act (a “Public Offering”), and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering (“Registration Statement”) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible.
(ii) If the net issue election is not made in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:
(a) If traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing or last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on such exchange or market over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible;
(b) If otherwise traded in an over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing ask prices of the Common Stock over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible; and
2.
(c) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
5. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.
6. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Preferred Stock be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If, upon exercise of this Warrant in its entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 6, be entitled to receive a fractional share of Preferred Stock, then the Company shall issue the next higher number of full shares of Preferred Stock, issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share.
7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the earliest to occur of (i) the close of business on June 30, 2011; (ii) two years after the effective date of the initial Public Offering of the Company on the NASDAQ or other stock exchange in the United States; or (iii) the effective date of a Merger as defined below; (the “Expiration Date”) and shall be void thereafter.
Notwithstanding the term of this Warrant fixed pursuant to this Section 7, and provided Holder has received advance written notice of at least twenty (20) days and has not earlier exercised this Warrant, and provided this Warrant has not been assumed by the successor entity (or parent thereof), upon the consummation of a Merger (as defined below), this Warrant shall automatically be exercised pursuant to Section 4 hereof, without any action by Holder. “Merger” means: (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to an Unaffiliated Entity (as defined below), or (ii) the merger, consolidation or acquisition of the Company with, into or by an Unaffiliated Entity (other than a merger or consolidation for the principle purpose of changing the domicile of the Company or a bona fide round of preferred stock equity financing), the result of which is that stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or acquisition do not own or control more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately following such merger, consolidation or acquisition. “Unaffiliated Entity” means any entity that is owned or controlled by parties who own less than twenty percent (20%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any outstanding warrants to purchase preferred equity securities of the Company are assumed by the successor entity of a Merger (or parent thereof), this Warrant will be similarly assumed. The Company agrees to promptly give the Holder written notice of any proposed Merger and written notice of termination of any proposed Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, the Holder may rescind any exercise of its purchase rights after a notice of termination of the proposed Merger if the exercise of this Warrant occurred after the Company notified the Holder that the Merger was proposed or if the exercise was otherwise precipitated by such proposed Merger, provided, however that such rescission right must be exercised within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice of termination of the proposed Merger. In the event of such rescission, this Warrant will continue to be exercisable on the same terms and conditions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to this Section 7.
8. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of its authorized shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit, respectively, the exercise of this Warrant in full and the conversion into shares of Common Stock of all shares of Preferred Stock receivable upon such exercise. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise and/or conversion will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
9. Stock Splits and Dividends. If after the date hereof the Company shall subdivide the Preferred Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Preferred Stock, or issue additional shares of Preferred Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.
3.
10. Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The other antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock of the Company are set forth in the Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate”), a true and complete copy in its current form which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such rights shall not be restated, amended or modified in any manner which affects the Holder differently than the holders of Preferred Stock without such Holder's prior written consent. The Company shall promptly provide the Holder hereof with any restatement, amendment or modification to the Certificate promptly after the same has been made.
11. Mergers and Reclassifications.

3
(c) This agreement does not create any obligation of Bank except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

If and only if the jury trial waiver set forth above is invalidated for any reason by a court of law, statute or otherwise, the reference provisions set forth below shall be substituted in place of the jury trial waiver. So long as the jury trial waiver remains valid, the reference provisions set forth in the following paragraphs shall be inapplicable.
6
(a) Each controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, other than the exercise of provisional remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law) that are not settled in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date on which a party subject to the Agreement gives written notice to all other parties that a Claim exists (the “Claim Date”) shall be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor sections (“CCP”), which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim concerning the Agreement, including whether such Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as set forth in this section, the parties waive the right to initiate legal proceedings against each other concerning each such Claim. Venue for these proceedings shall be in the Superior Court in the County where the real property, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under state law (the “Court”). By mutual agreement, the parties shall select a retired Judge of the Court to serve as referee, and if they cannot so agree within fifteen (15) days after the Claim Date, the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative) shall promptly select the referee. A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis. The referee shall be appointed to sit as a temporary judge, with all the powers for a temporary judge, as authorized by law, and upon selection should take and subscribe to the oath of office as provided for in Rule 244 of the California Rules of Court (or any subsequently enacted Rule). Each party shall have one peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP §170.6. Upon being selected, the referee shall (a) be requested to set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection and (b) if practicable, try any and all issues of law or fact and report a statement of decision upon them within ninety (90) days of the date of selection. The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount of discovery a party may employ. Any decision rendered by the referee will be final, binding and conclusive, and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP §644 in any court in the State of California having jurisdiction. The parties shall complete all discovery no later than fifteen (15) days before the first trial date established by the referee. The referee may extend such period in the event of a party’s refusal to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, legal objections raised to such discovery or unavailability of a witness due to absence or illness. No party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery. Either party may take depositions upon seven (7) days written notice, and shall respond to requests for production or inspection of documents within ten (10) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. Pending appointment of the referee as provided herein, the Superior Court is empowered to issue temporary and/or provisional remedies, as appropriate.
(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of all hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. Except for trial, all proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee shall be conducted without a court reporter unless a party requests a court reporter. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay for the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties shall equally bear the costs of the court reporter at the trial and the referee’s expenses
(c) The referee shall determine all issues in accordance with existing California case and statutory law. California rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law will apply to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, to provide all temporary and/or provisional remedies and to enter equitable orders that shall be binding upon the parties. At the close of the reference proceeding, the referee shall issue a single judgment at disposing of all the claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. The parties reserve the right (i) to contest or appeal from the final judgment or any appealable order or appealable judgment entered by the referee and (ii) to obtain findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and (iii) to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, shall be a reference proceeding under this provision.
7
(d) If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by the reference procedure herein described will be resolved and determined by arbitration conducted by a retired judge of the Court, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery as set forth in this Section shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
3.11 Attorney Costs.The prevailing party in any proceeding conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.10 hereof or any other action arising out of this Agreement shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party(s) thereto for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of the prevailing party’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the prevailing party in connection therewith, in addition to any other remedy or recovery awarded by the court.
