RECITALS
The Company desires to issue and sell, and each Purchaser desires to purchase, a subordinated convertible promissory note in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B (the “Note”) which shall be convertible on the terms stated therein into the series of preferred stock that the Company issues in the Next Equity Financing (as defined in the Note) (such newly-issued stock, the “Next Equity Securities”) or into Maturity Conversion Preferred (as defined in the Note), and a stock purchase warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C (the “Warrant”). The Notes, the Warrants and the equity securities issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given them in the Note.

The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Notes.
(a) Sale and Issuance of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees to purchase at the Initial Closing (as defined below) and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser:
(i) a Note in the principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A; and
(ii) a Warrant to purchase the following number of shares of Common Stock:
(A) if the aggregate principal amount of such Purchaser’s Note (or Notes collectively) is greater than $100,000.00 but less than $500,000.00, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of such Purchaser’s Warrant shall be equal to the quotient equal to: (x) the product of the aggregate principal amount of such Purchaser’s Note multiplied by 0.10; divided by (y) $0.18; or
(B) if the aggregate principal amount of such Purchaser’s Note (or Notes collectively) is greater than or equal to $500,000.00, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of such Purchaser’s Warrant shall be equal to the quotient equal to: (x) the product of the aggregate principal amount of such Purchaser’s Note multiplied by 0.25; divided by (y) $0.18; and

(iii) The aggregate purchase price of each Note and associated Warrant shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Note. The per share exercise price on the Warrants shall be the lesser of (x) the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s appraiser (and approved by the Company’s Board of directors) of such fair market value as set forth in the Company’s first 409A Valuation following the initial closing of the Company’s Next Equity Financing; or (y) $0.18; provided, however, that if there is no Next Equity Financing consummated on or before the Maturity Date, such per share purchase price shall equal $0.18. The Company’s Agreements with each of the Purchasers are separate agreements, and the sales of the Notes and Warrants to each of the Purchasers are separate sales, subject to the provisions of Section 10(c) below.
(b) Closing; Delivery.
(i) The purchase and sale of the Notes and Warrants shall take place remotely by the electronic exchange among the parties and their counsel of all documents and deliverables required under this Agreement at 10:00 a.m., on January , 2020, or in such other manner or at such other time and place as the Company and the Purchasers mutually agree upon, orally or in writing (which time and place are designated as the “Initial Closing”). In the event there is more than one closing, the term “Closing” shall apply to each such closing, unless otherwise specified herein.
(ii) At each Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser the Note and Warrant to be purchased by such Purchaser against (1) payment of the purchase price therefor by check payable to the Company, by wire transfer to a bank designated by the Company or by cancellation of existing indebtedness owed to Purchaser in accordance with Section 1(b)(vi) below, (2) delivery of counterpart signature pages to this Agreement, the Note and the Warrant, and (3) delivery of a validly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN/W- 8BEN-E, IRS Form W-9 or similar form, as applicable, establishing such Purchaser’s exemption from withholding tax, which forms are attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D.
(iii) Until the earlier of (A) such time as the aggregate amount of principal indebtedness evidenced by the Notes equals a total of $2,500,000, or (B) the date 60 days from the Initial Closing (or such greater amount than set forth in in the preceding clause (A) or later date than set forth in the preceding clause (B) or both, as the Company in its sole discretion shall determine), the Company may sell additional Notes and Warrants to such persons or entities as determined by the Company, or to any Purchaser who desires to acquire additional Notes and Warrants; provided, however, that any Purchaser of less than $1,000,000 in principal amount of Notes who is a Competitor (as defined below) must be approved by NuVasive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NuVasive”). If a Purchaser purchases more than one note under this Agreement, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Purchaser’s Warrants shall be based on the total aggregate principal amount of all Notes purchased by such Purchaser. All such sales shall be made on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, and all other agreements contemplated hereby, any additional purchaser so acquiring Notes and Warrants shall be deemed to be a “Purchaser” for purposes of this Agreement, and any notes and warrants so acquired by such additional purchaser shall be deemed to be “Notes,” “Warrants” and “Securities” as applicable. For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitor” means a third party engaged in the development, manufacture, sale, marketing or promotion of any spine product.
(iv) In addition to the Purchaser approval requirements by NuVasive in Section 1(b)(iii) above, any other purchaser of less than $1,000,000 of equity securities in any financing who is a Competitor must also be approved by NuVasive. For purposes of this Section 1(b)(iv) and Section 1(b)(iii) above, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether a purchaser is a Competitor. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the “Consolidation Limitation” provision in Section 3.13 of the that certain Amended and Restated Investors Rights Agreement dated as of July 27, 2017, by and among the Company and the investors thereto, shall apply to any equity securities to be issued to NuVasive pursuant to the Notes.

The Company previously issued certain Promissory Notes (each individually a “Term Note” and the Term Notes being repaid hereunder together the “Term Notes”), which the parties hereby are in agreement to repay through the issuance of Notes and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii), Warrants. Each Purchaser making payment for its Notes and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii), Warrants, by way of cancellation of indebtedness owed by the Company under a Term Note hereby: (i) acknowledges and agrees to surrender such Term Note(s) to the Company for cancellation or shall execute an instrument of cancellation in form and substance acceptable to the Company, as requested by the Company at or following the Closing; (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the principal and accrued interest set forth on Exhibit A hereto accurately reflects all principal and accrued interest owed through February 14, 2020, and that such Purchaser waives receipt of interest that would have accrued after February 14, 2020; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the entire amount owed to such Purchaser under the Term Note(s), including all accrued interest thereunder, shall be repaid through the issuance at the Closing into a Note with the principal amount set forth in Exhibit A hereto and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii), a Warrant to purchase the number shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A hereto without the requirement of any further action on the part of such Purchaser; (iv) waives in connection with such payment any and all notices required by the terms of such Term Note(s) or any related note purchase agreement; (v) waives as of the Closing any rights to receive payment pursuant to the Term Notes; and (vi) acknowledges and agrees that effective upon the Closing, without any further action required by the Company or such Purchaser, such Term Note(s) and all obligations of the Company set forth thereunder shall be immediately deemed satisfied in full and extinguished in their entirety, and any rights of such Purchaser pursuant to such Term Note(s) and/or any related note purchase agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect, including the right to payment with respect to any residual principal or interest under the Term Note(s). The Company and the applicable purchasers of Term Notes acknowledge and agree that the terms of the applicable Term Notes are amended and restated to provide that the Term Notes convert into the Notes and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii), Warrants, set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Each such Purchaser represents and warrants that such Purchaser has good and valid title to such Term Note(s), and has not transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of any interest in such Term Note(s) (whether arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise).
2. Stock Purchase Agreement.

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

(b) Authorization. This Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants, and the stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company; however, (i) no stockholder approval has been obtained, (ii) the Company has not obtained the necessary corporate approval for the authorization of any shares of Next Equity Securities or Maturity Conversion Preferred, and (iii) a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock has not been authorized under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the issuance of such shares upon conversion or exercise (as applicable) of the Notes and Warrants. This Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
3 |
(c) Disqualification. The Company is not disqualified from relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Rule 506”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for any of the reasons stated in Rule 506(d) in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Warrants to the Purchasers.

This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Purchaser either has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, or each beneficial owner of equity securities of or equity interests in the Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
(e) No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.
(f) Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Securities, and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, may bear one or all of the following legends:
(i) “THE SECURITIES REFERENCED HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

(b) Upon any receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization, or arrangement which creditors (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other insolvency laws), sale of all or substantially all of the assets, dissolution, liquidation, or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or in the event this Note shall be declared due and payable, (i) no amount shall be paid by the Company, whether in cash or property in respect of the principal of or interest on this Note at the time outstanding, unless and until the full amount of any Senior Indebtedness then outstanding shall be paid in full, and (ii) no claim or proof of claim shall be filed with the Company by or on behalf of the holder of this Note which shall assert any right to receive any payments in respect of the principal of and interest on this Note except subject to the payment in full all of the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding.
(c) If an event of default has occurred with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, permitting the holder thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof, then unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, or all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no payment shall be made in respect of the principal of or interest on this Note.
(d) Nothing contained in this the preceding paragraphs shall impair, as between the Company and the Holder, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holder hereof the principal hereof and interest hereon as and when the same shall become due and payable, or shall prevent the Holder, upon default hereunder, from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, all subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness under the preceding paragraphs to receive cash or other properties otherwise payable or deliverable to the Holder pursuant to this Note.
7. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the Purchase Agreement (the “Loan Documents”), the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Holder shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal remaining owed under this Note or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Holder exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Holder may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of this Note.
8. Action to Collect on Note. If action is instituted to collect on this Note, the Company promises to pay all of the Holder’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with such action.

(c) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Note may be amended only with the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10(c) shall be binding upon the Company, the Holder and each transferee of any Note.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Note may be transferred only upon surrender of the original Note for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company. Thereupon, a new note for the same principal amount and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Interest and principal are payable only to the registered holder of this Note.

The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Stock” and the “Purchase Price,” respectively.
This Warrant is issued pursuant to, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, the Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”).
1. Number of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Registered Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company the number of shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein) of Warrant Stock first set forth above.
2. Exercise.
(a) Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise. The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer, or by the surrender of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Registered Holder.
34 |
(b) Effective Time of Exercise. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 2(a). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any notices of issuance for Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2(d) shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Stock referred to in such notices of issuance.
(c) Net Issue Exercise.
(i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided in Section 2(a), the Registered Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election on the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, in which event the Company shall issue to such Registered Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:
X = | Y (A - B) A |
Where | X = | The number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the Registered Holder. |
Y = | The number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation). |
A = | The fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock (at the date of such calculation). |
B= | The Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
(ii) For purposes of this Section 2(c), the fair market value of Warrant Stock on the date of calculation shall mean with respect to each share of Warrant Stock:
(A) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the fair market value shall be the initial “Price to Public” per share specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering;
(B) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with, the Company’s initial public offering, and if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange or actively traded over-the-counter:
(1) if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a thirty (30) day period ending three days before date of calculation; or
(2) if the Company’s Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sales price (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three days before the date of calculation; or
(C) if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the fair market value of Warrant Stock shall be at the highest price per share which the Company could obtain on the date of calculation from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Warrant Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, unless the Company is at such time subject to an acquisition as described in Section 6(b), in which case the fair market value of Warrant Stock shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of such stock pursuant to such acquisition.
35 |
(d) Delivery to Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a notice or notices of issuance for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and
(ii) 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 shares of Warrant Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Sections 2(a) or 2(c).
3. Adjustments.
(a) Stock Splits and Dividends. If the Company’s outstanding shares of the same class as the Warrant Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in the Company’s shares of the same class as the Warrant Stock shall be paid in respect of the Company’s shares of the same class as the Warrant Stock, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If the Company’s outstanding shares of the same class as the Warrant Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(b) Reclassification, Etc. In case there occurs any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Registered Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, or reorganization shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.
(c) Adjustment Certificate.

4. Transfers.
(a) Unregistered Security. Each holder of this Warrant acknowledges that none of the Company’s securities (including this Warrant and the Warrant Stock) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Stock issued upon its exercise (or any securities issued by the Company upon conversion or exchange thereof) in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to the sale of any such securities and registration or qualification of such securities under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. Each notice of issuance with respect to Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant (and any securities issued by the Company upon conversion or exchange thereof) shall bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect.

(b) Transferability. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(a) hereof and to the “Lockup” provisions in the Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company.
(c) Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant. Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Registered Holder may change such Registered Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.
5. Termination. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following (the “Expiration Date”):
(a) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of issuance first set forth above, or
(b) the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, in connection with which all of the shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock are converted to Common Stock as set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, or
(c) the sale, conveyance or disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business or the Company’s merger with or into or consolidation with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) or any other transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company is disposed of, provided that this Section 5(c) shall not apply to a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company or to an equity financing in which the Company is the surviving corporation.
6. Notices of Certain Transactions. In case:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its outstanding stock of the same class as the Warrant Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right,
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of the Company’s outstanding stock of the same class as the Warrant Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or conversion) are to be determined. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

7. Exchange of Warrants. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder of any Warrant or Warrants, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company will issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Registered Holder, at the Company’s expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Registered Holder or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
8. Replacement of Warrants. Upon 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) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a holder of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
10. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock on the date of exercise, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
11. Attorney’s Fees. If any action at law or in equity (including arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of any of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Warrant, and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

No delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Warrant shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other instance.
(d) Successors and Assigns. 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.
(e) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by email, or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail as certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth on the signature page, as subsequently modified by written notice, or if no address is specified on the signature page, at the most recent address set forth in the Company’s books and records.
(f) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant, (b) the balance of this Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (c) the balance of this Warrant shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(g) Construction. This Warrant is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Warrant shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.
