Dr. Katz also served as a board member, Chief Executive Officer and President of iTerra Communications LLC, the predecessor to GigOptix LLC, from April 2007 until October 2007.

Dr. Katz received his Ph.D. in materials engineering and a B.S. in engineering from Technion-IIT, Israel, and is a graduate of the Israeli Naval Academy. As GigOptix’ co-founder, and the CEO since the inception, Dr. Katz has the benefit of understanding the Company’s complete history. This background, together with his extensive executive experience and exceptional technical skills make Dr. Katz uniquely qualified to serve on our Board of Directors.

Ronald K. Shelton has served as our Chief Financial Officer since December 2009, and in March 2010, was named our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Shelton had previously served as a Consultant for Imara Corporation, a lithium-ion battery company, in 2009 and a Consultant and Acting Chief Financial Officer for IML Inc., a leading supplier of power management products for the TFT LCD market, from 2007 to 2008.

Julie Tipton serves as our Senior Vice President of Operations since March 2010 following her tenure as our Vice President of Marketing since the inception of GigOptix LLC in July 2007.

She previously served as a director of Lumera Corporation from October 2006 and a director of GigOptix LLC from October 2007 until the merger of the two companies in December 2008. Since February 2003, she has been an Industry Liaison Officer for the Center of Optical Technologies at Lehigh University, which advances the research and application of optical and electro-optic technologies. The Center has more than 45 industry liaison members and joint partners, has obtained more than $95 million in funding since 2001, and has recently opened The Smith Family Laboratory for Optical Technologies.

Ms. Trapp received her B.S. degree in chemistry from Purdue University, her M.S. degree in inorganic chemistry from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and has completed an MBA program. From her experience in the industry, Ms. Trapp brings a tremendous amount of technical expertise, especially in the area of optical and electro-optic technologies, that we believe makes her well qualified to sit on our Board of Directors.

Neil J. Miotto has served on our board of directors since December 2008. He is a retired assurance partner of KPMG LLP, where he was a partner for twenty-seven years until his retirement in September 2006. While at KPMG, Mr. Miotto also served as an SEC reviewing partner. He is a member of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Baruch College, of The City University of New York. Mr. Miotto is a member of the Board of Directors of Micrel Inc., where he serves on the Audit Committee and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. The Company believes that Mr. Miotto’s extensive experience with public and financial accounting matters makes him well qualified to be on our Board of Directors.

C. James Judson has served on our board of directors since December 2008. Until its merger with GigOptix LLC in December 2008, Mr. Judson had served as a director of Lumera Corporation since August 2004 and as chairman of its board of directors since March 2007. In 1995, Mr. Judson co-founded Eagle River Investments, LLC, a Kirkland-based venture capital fund focused on communications. Since 1975, Mr. Judson has been a business law partner at Davis Wright Tremaine in Seattle. Mr. Judson has a B.A. from Stanford University in economics and an L.L.B. from Stanford Law School. Mr. Judson currently serves as a director of Garrett and Ring Management Inc., Port Blakely Tree Farms, L.P., The Joshua Green Corporation, Sonata Capital, Airbiquity, Welco Lumber, Eden Rock Communications, Opanga and TSK America Co., Ltd. We believe Mr. Judson is well qualified to be on our board due to his leadership skills as evidenced by his significant entrepreneurial expertise, his extensive board memberships and more than 40 years of corporate legal practice providing representation to both large and small companies.

Dr. Joseph J. Vallner has served on our board of directors since December 2008. Until its merger with GigOptix LLC in December 2008, Dr. Vallner had served as Interim Chief Executive Officer of Lumera Corporation since August 2007, and as a director since June 2006.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

On December 9, 2008, Lumera Corporation and GigOptix LLC completed their combination by merger, which resulted in the two companies becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of GigOptix, Inc. Immediately before the completion of the merger, the common stock of Lumera was registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Upon the closing of the merger, the common stock of GigOptix, Inc. was deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act by operation of paragraph (a) of Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act.

Footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table discloses the specific compensation earned by the named executive officers attributable to their service to each respective entity in 2008.

Table of Contents

The components of executive compensation consist of salary, annual cash bonuses and equity grants. Annual cash bonuses are awarded in the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors after a review and evaluation of each executive officer’s performance during the year. Equity grants generally consist of stock options, warrants and restricted stock units and are intended to serve as long-term compensation. The compensation committee may also authorize special compensation awards in the form of cash or equity grants to recognize extraordinary efforts or results.

Equity awards are generally granted pursuant to the GigOptix, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. Equity grants to our executive officers generally vest as to 25% of the underlying award on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and monthly thereafter for a period of three years. In the case of stock options and warrants, the exercise price is set at 100% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

We have entered into a standard employment agreement with each of our executive officers, which governs the standard terms of employment as well as provides for certain payments upon termination of employment. We have entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Avi Katz, our chief executive officer, for the same purpose but with different terms. Both Dr. Katz’s employment agreement and the standard employment agreement are discussed in more detail below under the caption “Employment Arrangements with Named Executive Officers.”

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Director Independence

The board of directors has determined that Mr. Judson, Mr. Miotto and Ms. Trapp are “independent” directors.

The company uses the independence standards set forth by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In reviewing the independence of our directors against these standards, we consider relationships and transactions between each director and members of the director’s family with us and our affiliates. Each member of our two standing committees, the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, is independent as defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and each member of our Audit Committee is also independent as defined by Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities and Exchange Act. We do not have a separately designated nominating committee. The entire board of directors serves this function, including Dr. Avishay Katz and Dr. Joseph Vallner, who are not independent.

Certain Relationships And Related Transactions

As a result of the acquisition of ChipX on November 9, 2009, National Instruments Corporation, a former stockholder of ChipX, became a stockholder of us, and currently holds 1,066,265 shares of 11.40% of our common stock. Since the date of acquisition through December 31, 2009, we generated revenue of $231,000 from sales to National Instruments.

 

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for auditing and other services provided to us for the fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

 

     2009    2008

Audit Fees (1)

   $ 846,000    $ 968,000

Audit-Related Fees (2)

   $ 25,400    $ 9,800

Audit fees include fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q and other services normally provided by accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. Included within the audit fees amount for 2008 is $325,000 related to professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in connection with their review of the Form S-4 of the predecessor registrant, which was filed on October 24, 2008. Included within the audit fees amount for 2009

Table of Contents
  is $340,000 related to professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in connection with our acquisition of ChipX and associated regulatory filings.

 

(2) Included in audit related fees for 2009 is $100,000 related to due diligence services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in connection with our acquisition of ChipX.

 

(3) Fees for tax services relate to tax return preparation and other compliance services.

 

In considering the nature of the services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with the independent registered public accounting firm and our management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditors’ independence promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services and all permitted non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee evaluates whether our use of the independent registered public accounting firm for permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee’s policies prohibit the Company from engaging the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any services relating to bookkeeping or other services related to accounting records or financial statements, financial information systems design and implementation, appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports, actuarial services, or internal audit outsourcing services unless it is reasonable to conclude that the results of these services will not be subject to audit procedures. The Audit Committee’s policies prohibit the Company from engaging the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any services relating to any management function, expert services not related to the audit, legal services, broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services or human resource consulting. The Audit Committee approved in advance all fees for services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and has concluded that the provision of these services is compatible with the accountants’ independence.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Events of default under our loan agreement with Agility Capital arose in March 2010 that Agility Capital agreed to waive. As consideration for the waiver, we agreed to pay $5,000 to Agility Capital (and under the terms of the loan agreement, in the event of a default, we are obligated to pay a default fee of $5,000). In addition, as set forth in the warrant issued on January 29, 2010 by us to Agility Capital, filed hereto as Exhibit 4.12, in the event of a default under the loan agreement, Agility Capital is to become entitled to an additional 25,000 shares under such warrant with an exercise price equal to the average closing price of our common stock for the 15 days before the date of the occurrence of the event of default. As further consideration for the waiver by Agility Capital, we issued such additional 25,000 warrant shares to Agility Capital with an exercise price of $2.00 per share, which is equal to the average closing price of our common stock for the 15 days before the date of the occurrence of the event of defaults. However, solely for the purpose of clarifying that these 25,000 shares were being issued as a result of the occurrence of the event of defaults, the parties determined to issue a new warrant dated April 5, 2010, filed as Exhibit 4.13 hereto, rather than have the 25,000 shares be exercisable under the existing warrant dated January 29, 2010.

In addition, events of default arose under our credit agreement with Bridge Bank, which Bridge Bank agreed to waive. As consideration for the waiver, we agreed to pay Bridge Bank a waiver fee of $15,000 and to issue to Bridge Bank a warrant dated April 7, 2010 to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $3.65 per share, filed as Exhibit 4.14 hereto.

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 23, 2010, we have entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank on April 23, 2010. With the funding by Silicon Valley Bank under the terms of that loan and security agreement, we are terminating both the credit agreement with Bridge Bank and the loan agreement with Agility Capital as having been fully performed by us. For more information, please review our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 23, 2010.

EX-4.12 2 dex412.htm FORM OF WARRANT IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN AGREEMENT, DATED JANUARY 29, 2010 Form of Warrant in connection with the Loan Agreement, dated January 29, 2010

Exhibit 4.12

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

 

Corporation:

   GIGOPTIX, INC.

Number of Shares:

   71,429

Class of Stock:

   Common

Initial Exercise Price:

   $2.10

Issue Date:

   January 29, 2010

Expiration Date:

   January 29, 2017

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT AGILITY CAPITAL, LLC or registered assignee (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock of GIGOPTIX, INC. (the “Company”), in the number, at the price, and for the term specified above. The Exercise Price shall be equal to the lower of (i) the price specified above or (ii) the price paid in the next sale or issuance of Shares after the Issue Date, if any, by 90 days of the Issue Date, in which Company receives at least $500,000. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement between Holder and Company dated as of the Issue Date (the “Loan Agreement”), Holder may acquire (i) an additional 25,000 Shares under this Warrant, with an exercise price equal to the average closing price of Company’s common stock for the 15 days before the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default, and (ii) an additional 35,000 Shares on each thirtieth day thereafter for so long as the Event of Default remains outstanding, provided the aggregate additional Shares that Holder may acquire under this sentence shall be 100,000.

ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

1.4 Early Termination of Warrant. This Warrant shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) January 29, 2015 or (ii) a merger, consolidation or acquisition of the Company. If any portion of the Warrant has not been exercised before such date, then Holder shall be deemed to have converted such portion as of such date pursuant to Section 1.2.

1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

 

1


1.6 Replacement of Warrants. On 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, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event.

2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.

2.4 Price Adjustment. If the Company issues additional common shares (including shares of common stock ultimately issuable upon conversion of a security convertible into common stock) after the date of the Warrant and the consideration per additional common share is less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately before such issue, the Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such Issue, to such lower price. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be increased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product resulting from multiplying (i) the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) the Warrant Price, in each case as in effect immediately before such adjustment, by (b) the adjusted Warrant Price.

2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a 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 under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.

3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time (a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its common stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend; (b) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights; (c) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of common stock; (d) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease, license, or convey all or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; or (e) offer holders of registration rights the opportunity to participate in an underwritten public offering of the company’s securities for cash (except to the extent such offer occurs within 30 days of the Issue Date of this Warrant), then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder (1) at least 20 days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of common stock will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (a) and (b) above; (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above at least 20 days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of common stock will be entitled to exchange their common stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event); and (3) in the case of the matter referred to in (e) above, the same notice as is given to the holders of such registration rights.

3.3 Registration Rights. By April 30, 2010, Company shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to which Holder may sell the Shares without restriction. Holder agrees that, in connection with registrations of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Act for the account of the Company, if so requested by any representative of the underwriters (the Managing Underwriter”), Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer any securities of the Company held by such holder (other than those included in the registration) during the period specified by the Company’s Board of Directors at the request of the Managing Underwriter (the “Market Standoff Period”), with such period not to exceed 180 days (plus an additional 34 days to allow for compliance with NASD Rule 2711) following the effective date of the first registration statement of the Company filed under the Act; provided, that the officers and directors of the Company who own stock of the Company and all holders of at least one percent (1%) of the capital stock of the Company shall also agree to such restrictions.

3.4 Information Rights. So long as the Holder holds this Warrant and/or any of the Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (a) within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the annual audited financial statements of the Company certified by independent public accountants of recognized standing and (b) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year, the Company’s quarterly, unaudited financial statements, provided Company need not provide such information for any period in which Company has filed Form 10Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1 1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits. Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event.

2.3 Adjustments for Combinations. Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.

2.4 Price Adjustment. If the Company issues additional common shares (including shares of common stock ultimately issuable upon conversion of a security convertible into common stock) after the date of the Warrant and the consideration per additional common share is less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately before such issue, the Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such Issue, to such lower price. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be increased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product resulting from multiplying (i) the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) the Warrant Price, in each case as in effect immediately before such adjustment, by (b) the adjusted Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.4, neither the Warrant Price nor the number of Shares shall be adjusted for any options issued to employees, directors, or officers under any stock option plan of the Company.

The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a 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 under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, BRIDGE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares of the Company at the Exercise Price per Share set forth, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1 EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date set forth above. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise, in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1, to the principal office of Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to Company a check for the aggregate Exercise Price for Shares being purchased.

1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Exercise Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing Shares not so acquired.

1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.6 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of Company. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company, or any reorganization,

 

1


consolidation, or merger of Company where the holders of Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction. Upon the closing of any Acquisition, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted accordingly; provided that if pursuant to such Acquisition the entire outstanding class of Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant are cancelled and the total consideration payable to the holders of such class of Shares consists entirely of cash, then, upon payment to the holder of this Warrant of an amount equal to the amount such holder would receive if such holder held Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant and such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition less the aggregate Exercise Price of such Shares, this Warrant shall be cancelled.

ARTICLE 2 ADJUSTMENTS.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Except in the case of an Acquisition to which Section 1.6 is applicable, upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares as to which this warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately decreased.

2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or, if Shares are Preferred Stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Shares, shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time in the manner set forth on Exhibit A in the event of Diluting Issuances (as defined on Exhibit A).

2.5 No Impairment. Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles/Certificate of Incorporation or through a 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 under this Warrant by Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If Company takes any dilutive action affecting Shares or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that such dilutive action is offset and the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a

If the notice is not so given, the Expiration Date shall automatically be extended until 15 days after the date Company delivers the notice to Holder.

Company agrees that no amendments will be made to the Investor Rights Agreement which would have an adverse impact on Holder’s registration rights thereunder.

3.6 Information Rights.
