1. Exercise.
(a) Manner of Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal office and delivery of the purchase/exercise form substantially in the form appended hereto as Exhibit A (the “Purchase/Exercise Form”), duly executed by the Holder or by the Holder’s duly authorized attorney, 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 cancellation or surrender of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Holder.
(b) Effective Time of Exercise. Exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been affected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered together with the executed purchase/exercise form and the Purchase Price as provided in Section 1(a). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any stock certificates for the Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(d) shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Stock referenced in such stock certificates or notices of issuance.
(c) Net Issue Exercise.
(i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided in Section 1(a), if the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal office together with notice of such election on the Purchase/Exercise Form, duly executed by the Holder or the Holder’s duly authorized attorney, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the 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 Holder.
Y = The number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under this Warrant, or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (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 the calculation in Section 1(c)(i), the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock on the date of calculation shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in good faith; provided, however, that:
(A) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the 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 (i) the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” per share specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Warrant Stock is convertible at the time of exercise, if the Warrant Stock is a Convertible Security, or (ii) the initial “Price to Public” per share specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering, if the Warrant Stock is Common Stock.
(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 Holder or such party as the Holder may direct (upon the Holder’s payment of any applicable transfer taxes):
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which the Holder or such party shall be entitled; and 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 Holder upon such exercise as provided in Sections 1(a) or 1(c).
2. Adjustments.
(a) Subdivisions and Combinations. If the Company’s outstanding shares of Warrant Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision be proportionately reduced. If the Company’s outstanding shares of Warrant Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) 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) Adjustments for Dividends in Securities or Property. If the holders of the outstanding shares of Warrant Stock shall receive or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property of the Company by way of dividend, then, and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of Warrant Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property of the Company that the Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the shares of Warrant Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section.
(c) Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the Company’s outstanding securities 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 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 the Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
(d) Acquisition of the Company. Upon the closing of any Acquisition involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 6), the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
(e) Adjustment for Pay-to-Play Transaction. If the Warrant Stock is Convertible Securities and the Company’s Charter provides, or is amended to provide, for the amendment or modification of the rights, preferences or privileges of the Warrant Stock, or the reclassification, conversion or exchange of the Warrant Stock, in the event that a holder thereof fails to participate in an equity financing transaction (a “Pay-to-Play Provision”), and in the event that such Pay-to-Play Provision becomes operative, this Warrant shall automatically and without further action of the Holder become exercisable for that number and type of shares of equity securities as would have been issued or exchanged, or would have remained outstanding, in respect of the shares issuable hereunder had this Warrant been exercised in full prior to such event, and had the Holder participated in the equity financing transaction to the maximum extent permitted.
(f) Adjustment Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Stock or the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section, the Company shall promptly provide to the Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Purchase Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.
3. Transfers, Restrictive Legends and Warrant Register.
(a) Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders. Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may change such Holder’s address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(b) Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register, issuing the Warrant Stock or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of the foregoing. Thereafter, any such registration, issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at the office of such agent.
(c) Transferability and Non-negotiability of Warrant. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all applicable federal and applicable state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are reasonably requested by the Company). Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act, title to this Warrant may be transferred upon: (i) the written consent of the Company; or (ii) by Holder to any Coplex Affiliate. Such transfer allowed by this Section shall be made by endorsement (by the Holder executing the Assignment Form attached as Exhibit B (the “Assignment Form”)) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery.
(d) Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant for exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers contained in this Section, the Company, at its expense, shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the Holder’s name or such name as the Holder may direct (upon the Holder’s payment of any applicable transfer taxes), for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.
(e) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Stock are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any of the Warrant Stock except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act or any state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Stock so purchased is being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment; and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Act.

(b) Authorization. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Warrant. All corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the Company’s due authorization, execution and delivery of this Warrant and the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder. This Warrant has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.
(c) Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company’s authorization, execution and delivery of this Warrant, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder will not (i) violate any judgment, order, decree, injunction, law or regulation applicable to the Company, or (ii) violate any term or provision of the Charter or the Company’s Bylaws.

5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Holder’s rights against impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall not have been deemed to have impaired Holder’s rights hereunder if it amends the Charter and/or the holders of the outstanding shares of the Warrant Stock waive rights thereunder in a manner that does not affect the shares acquirable hereunder differently from the effect that such amendment and/or waiver has on the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of such outstanding shares.
6. Termination. This Warrant shall terminate upon the date (the “Expiration Date”) that is the earlier of: (i) the ten (10) year anniversary of the Date of Issuance; (ii) the consummation of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”); or (iii) the consummation of an IPO.

In case (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its outstanding 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, to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or (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, or of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company will provide the Holder with 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 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 provided at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

10. Information Rights. So long as the Holder holds this Warrant and/or any of the shares of Warrant Stock, the Company (i) shall promptly deliver to the Holder copies of all notices or other written communications which the Company is contractually required to deliver to any of its stockholders and/or which the Holder would be entitled to receive under applicable law if it held Warrant Stock and (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall furnish to the Holder, as soon as practicable upon request, (1) its then most current unaudited financial statements, including an unaudited balance sheet (as of the end of the applicable period) and an unaudited income statement and an unaudited statement of cash flows (each for the applicable period), (2) its then most current audited financial statements (if any) and (3) a current statement of the Company’s capitalization. The Holder agrees that it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to this Section 10, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this sentence by the Holder), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Holder without use of the Company’s confidential information or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Holder by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company.
11. Registration Rights. If at any time during the term hereof, the Company enters into any agreement with any of its stockholders granting such stockholders registration rights with respect to the Company’s securities issued to them (a “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Holder shall be granted the same registration rights as such stockholders by being made a party to such Registration Rights Agreement. No amendments or waivers may be made to such Registration Rights Agreement which would have an adverse impact on the Holder’s registration rights thereunder in a manner different from the other holders of registration rights thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an IPO, the Company shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that, as soon as practicable thereafter and at all times thereafter, the Warrant Stock is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act.
12. Right of First Refusal. The Company grants the Holder a right of first refusal to purchase its ROFR Share of the Common Stock, Options and Convertible Securities (collectively “Equity Interests”), whether now authorized or not (the “New Securities”), that the Company proposes to issue at any time during the term hereof. The New Securities shall not include: (i) Equity Interests issued pursuant to an incentive equity plan approved by the Board or any other similar Equity Interests approved by the Board, (ii) Equity Interests issued to financial institutions, equipment lessors or similar independent entities in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings or similar transactions approved by the Board, (iii) Equity Interests issued in connection with a bona fide acquisition, merger or similar transaction, the terms of which are approved by the Board, and (iv) Equity Interests issued upon conversion of Convertible Securities or upon exercise of Options. The Holder’s “ROFR Share” is defined as the greater of (a) $200,000 in New Securities, (b) five percent (5%) of the New Securities or (c) the Holder’s pro rata share of the New Securities, which, for purposes of this right of first refusal, is equal to the ratio of (x) the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock owned by the Holder immediately before the issuance of the New Securities (assuming full exercise of this Warrant for the Maximum Number) to (y) the Fully Diluted Capitalization immediately before the issuance of the New Securities. If the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give the Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue them. The Holder shall have twenty (20) days after any such notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase the Holder’s ROFR Share of such New Securities upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company, and stating therein the quantity of the New Securities to be purchased. If the Holder fails to exercise fully the right of first refusal within such twenty (20) day period (the “Election Period”), the Company shall have one-hundred-twenty (120) days thereafter to issue or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of the New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within fifteen (15) days from the date of such agreement) to issue that portion of the New Securities with respect to which the Holder’s right of first refusal option set forth in this Section was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Holder delivered pursuant to this Section. If the Company has not issued within such one-hundred-twenty (120) day period following the Election Period, or such fifteen (15) day period following the date of such agreement, the Company shall not thereafter issue any New Securities without first again offering them to the Holder in the manner provided in this Section. The Right of First Refusal set forth in this Section 12 may be assigned to any third party that is an Accredited Investor.
13. Automatic Conversion upon Expiration. If on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Warrant, the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1(c) is greater than the Purchase Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be converted pursuant to Section 1(c) as to all shares of Warrant Stock (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised or converted, and the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate representing such shares issued upon such conversion to the Holder.
14. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any dispute between the parties concerning this Warrant, the party prevailing in such dispute shall be entitled to collect from the other party all costs incurred in such dispute, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
15. Enforcement. The Company stipulates that the Holder’s remedies at law in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company hereof are not and will not be adequate to the fullest extent permitted by law, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms.
16. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company.
17. 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 Board.
18. Survival of Representations. Unless otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in or made pursuant to this Warrant shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law; Venue. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Warrant sets forth the parties’ entire agreement relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between them relating thereto.
(c) Amendments and Waivers. No modification of or amendment to this Warrant, nor any waiver of any rights under this Warrant, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. 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.

A party may change its address for notices hereunder by giving the other party a notice in the foregoing manner.
(f) Severability. If any provision of this Warrant is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith.
