	1.	WHAT YOU AGREE TO GRANT US. 

  

You grant to Us and We are entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Warrant, to subscribe to and to purchase from You that
number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Applicable Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (a) Sixty Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($60,750), divided by (b) the Exercise Price (as defined below). 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Warrant Coverage and Number of Shares shall be adjusted in the event all or any portion of the Commitment
Amount under the Lease Agreement (up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1,350,000) is transferred to the Commitment Amount under the Plain English Growth Capital Loan and Security Agreement dated January 12, 2007 (the “Loan Agreement”)
pursuant to that certain Letter Agreement dated January 12, 2007 between You and Us. In the event of a Commitment Amount transfer described in the preceding sentence, the Warrant Coverage shall be reduced by the product of (a) the lesser
of (i) the aggregate amount of funds transferred from the Commitment Amount under the Lease Agreement to the Commitment Amount under the Loan Agreement and (ii) $1,350,000, multiplied by (b) 4.5%. 

For purposes of this Warrant, the “Applicable Preferred Stock” shall be Your Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Series B Preferred”); provided, however, that in the event the price per share of the Next Round Preferred Stock (as defined below) paid by investors in the Next Round (as defined below) is lower than the original price per share of Your
Series B Preferred Stock (i.e., $1.40 per share), the “Applicable Preferred Stock” from and after the closing of the Next Round shall be the Next Round Preferred Stock. 
 For purposes of this Warrant, “Next Round” shall mean the next round of equity financing subsequent to the Effective Date in which at least a total of $10,000,000 of cash proceeds are received
from investors, including without limitation an equity financing involving the sale and issuance of Your Series B-1 Preferred Stock. 
 For
purposes of this Warrant, the “Next Round Preferred Stock” shall mean the series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which You issue in the Next Round. For the avoidance of doubt, the Next Round Preferred Stock shall include a
round of equity financing involving the sale and issuance of Your Series B-1 Preferred Stock. 
 The Exercise Price shall be the lesser of:
(i) $1.40 per share (i.e., the original price per share of Your Series B Preferred Stock) and (ii) the price per share of the Next Round Preferred Stock paid by investors in the Next Round. 

The number and purchase price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof. 

The Parties agree that this Warrant to purchase the Warrant Stock has a fair market value equal to $100 and that $100 of the issue price is included as
part of the leased value and will be allocable to the Warrant and the original issue discount on the Lease Agreement shall be considered to be zero. 
  

 

	2.	WHEN ARE WE ENTITLED TO PURCHASE YOUR APPLICABLE PREFERRED STOCK. 


 
 The term of this Warrant and our right to purchase
Applicable Preferred Stock will begin on the Effective Date, and shall be available for the greater of: (i) 7 years from the Effective Date, (ii) 5 years from the effective date of Your initial public offering of Your Common Stock pursuant
to a registration statement under the 1933 Act (“Your IPO”). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Our right to purchase the Warrant Stock
shall be automatically and fully exercised (without surrender of the Warrant) upon the occurrence of a Merger Event (as defined below in Section 4), in which You are not the surviving corporation, provided that, upon consummation of the Merger
Event, the consideration payable to Us pursuant to such exercise and on account of the Warrant Stock consists of (i) cash or (ii) cash and/ or stock that is traded on a recognized public exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market at a price
per share equal to or greater than two (2) times the Exercise Price per share (as adjusted). No less than ten (10) business days prior to any Merger Event, You shall provide Us with written notice of the proposed Merger Event together with
a copy of the proposed merger agreement and information concerning Your expected capitalization immediately prior to the Merger Event. Upon consummation of the Merger Event, You shall promptly provide Us with (a) a copy of the executed merger
agreement, (b) any other documents in connection therewith, (c) information concerning Your 

  
 2 








 
capitalization immediately prior to the Merger Event, and, (d) upon request, by Us any other information reasonably necessary to an informed evaluation of Our rights under this Agreement.

 In such a Merger Event, if the consideration payable to Us pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant and on account of the Warrant Stock upon
the occurrence of a Merger Event does not consist of (i) cash or (ii) cash and/or stock that is traded on a recognized public exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market or is less than two (2) times the Exercise Price per share and We
have not elected to exercise Our rights under this Warrant, then You may, at Your sole discretion, pay Us a sum equal to one (1) time the Exercise Price for each share exercisable under this Warrant in exchange for the cancellation of this
Warrant upon the consummation of the Merger Event. 
  
  

	3.	HOW WE MAY PURCHASE YOUR APPLICABLE PREFERRED STOCK. 


 
 We may exercise Our purchase rights, in whole or in
part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term of this Warrant, by (i) surrender of the Warrant to be held in escrow by You until receipt of the Applicable Preferred Stock by Us, together with a completed and
executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached as Exhibit I, to Your principal offices and (ii) unless We elect the Net Issuance Method pursuant to the Notice of Exercise, payment to You of an amount equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price for the number of shares being purchased. 
 Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and in any event no later than
twenty-one (21) days after you have received Our Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares purchased, You will issue to Us a certificate for the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock that We have
purchased and You will execute the Acknowledgment of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II indicating the number of shares which will be available to Us for future purchases, if any. 

We may pay for the Applicable Preferred Stock by either (i) cash, check or wire transfer (to an account designated by You), or (ii) by the
net issuance method as determined below. If We elect the Net Issuance method, You will issue Applicable Preferred Stock using the following formula: 
  

					
		  		  	X = Y(A-B)
		  		  	            A
	Where:	  	X =	  	the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock to be issued to Us.
		  	Y =	  	the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock We request to be exercised under this Warrant.
		  	A =	  	the fair market value of one share of Applicable Preferred Stock.
		  	B =	  	the Exercise Price.

 For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of Applicable Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to
each share of Applicable Preferred Stock: 
 If the exercise is in connection with the initial public offering of Your Common Stock, and
if Your registration statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus
of the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Applicable Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise; 
 If this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with Your initial public offering, and: 
  

	•	 	 if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the product of (x) the average of the closing prices over a five
(5) day period ending three (3) days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Applicable Preferred Stock is convertible at
the time of such exercise; or 



  
 3 









	•	 	 if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid and asked
prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the five (5) day period ending three (3) days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock
into which each share of Applicable Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise; 


  

	•	 	 if at any time Your Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market,
the current fair market value of Applicable Preferred Stock shall be the product of (x) the fair market value of a share of Your Common Stock, as determined in good faith by Your Board of Directors and (y) the number of shares of Common
Stock into which each share of Applicable Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise, unless You shall become subject to a Merger Event pursuant to which You are not the surviving party, in which case the fair market value of
Applicable Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of Your Applicable Preferred Stock on a Common Stock-equivalent basis pursuant to such Merger Event. 



 

	•	 	 During the term of this Warrant, You will at all times from and after the Effective Date have authorized and reserved a sufficient number
of shares of (a) Applicable Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of our rights to purchase Applicable Preferred Stock, and (b) Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Applicable Preferred Stock.



 If We elect to exercise part of the Warrant, You will promptly issue to Us an amended Warrant stating the remaining number
of shares that are available. All other terms and conditions of that amended Warrant shall be identical to those contained in this Warrant. 

If at the end of the term 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 herewith is greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be converted pursuant hereto as to all shares of Warrant Stock (or such other
securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised or converted, and You shall promptly deliver a certificate representing the shares of Warrant Stock (or such other securities) issued upon such conversion to Us. 

 
  

	4.	WHEN WILL THE NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE CHANGE. 


 
  

	•	 	 If You are Acquired. Subject to the termination provisions in Section 2 above, if at any time (i) there is a
reorganization of Your stock (other than a reclassification, exchange or subdivision of Your stock otherwise provided for in this Warrant), (ii) You merge or consolidate with or into another entity whether or not You are the surviving entity,
(iii) You sell or convey, or grant an exclusive license with respect to, all or substantially all of Your assets to any other person; or (iv) there occurs any transaction or series of related transactions that result in the transfer of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of the capital stock of You (each of the foregoing events are referred to as a “Merger Event”), then, as a part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that
We shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of Our rights under this Warrant, the number of shares of preferred stock or other securities of the successor or surviving person resulting from such Merger Event, equal in value to that
which would have been issuable if We had exercised Our rights under this Warrant immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Your Board of Directors) shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to Our rights and interest after the Merger Event so that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock
purchasable) shall be applicable to the greatest extent possible. 


  

	•	 	 If You Reclassify Your Stock. If at any time You combine, reclassify, exchange or subdivide Your securities or otherwise, change
any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant will thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of
securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other
change. 



  
 4 









	•	 	 If You Subdivide or Combine Your Shares. If at any time You combine or subdivide Your Applicable Preferred Stock, the Exercise
Price will be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination. 


  

	•	 	 If You Pay Stock Dividends. If at any time You pay a dividend payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution
specifically provided for in the above paragraphs) of Your stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the record date of such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of all shares of Your stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be
the total number of all shares of Your stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution. We will thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Applicable Preferred
Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Applicable Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. 


  

	•	 	 If You Change the Antidilution Rights of the Applicable Preferred Stock or Your Certificate of Incorporation. All antidilution
rights applicable to the Series B Preferred purchasable under this Warrant are as set forth in Your Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the Effective Date. You will promptly provide Us with any restatement, amendment, modification or
waiver of Your Certificate of Incorporation. 


  
  

	5.	WE CAN TRANSFER THIS PLAIN ENGLISH WARRANT. 


 
 Subject to the terms and conditions contained in
Section 7, We (or any successor transferee) may transfer in whole or in part this Warrant and all its rights. You will record the transfer on Your books when You receive Our Notice of Transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III, and Our
payment of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges involved in such transfer. So long as You have not assigned Your assets for the benefit of Your creditors, have entered (voluntarily or involuntarily) a bankruptcy proceeding, liquidated
or taken any action for the purpose of the foregoing, You may refuse to transfer this Warrant or any Applicable Preferred Stock to any person who directly competes with You (as determined in good faith by You) unless Your stock is publicly traded.

	•	 	 Investment Purpose. The right to acquire Applicable Preferred Stock or the Applicable Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of
Our rights contained herein and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion will be acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and We have no present intention of selling or engaging in any
public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom. 


  

	•	 	 Private Issue. We understand (i) that this Warrant, the Applicable Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Applicable Preferred Stock are not registered under the 1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt from
the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that Your reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 7. 



 

	•	 	 Disposition of Our Rights. In no event will We make a disposition of any of Our rights to acquire Applicable Preferred Stock
issuable upon exercise of such rights or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Applicable Preferred Stock unless and until (i) We shall have notified You in writing of the proposed disposition, and (ii) the transferee agrees to
be bound in writing to the applicable terms and conditions of this Warrant, and (iii) if You request, We shall have furnished You with an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to You and Your counsel to the effect that
(A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has been taken, or (B) an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the
transferability of any of Our rights to acquire Applicable Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Applicable Preferred Stock do not apply to transfers from the beneficial owner of
any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular share of Applicable Preferred Stock when (1) such security shall have been effectively registered under
the 1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or (2) such security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been issued to You
at Our request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or a ruling shall have been issued to the You at Our request by the SEC stating that no action shall be recommended by such staff or taken by the SEC, as the
case may be, if such security is transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required.
Whenever the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the holder of a share of Applicable Preferred Stock then outstanding as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from You, without
expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the Warrant or for such shares of Applicable Preferred Stock not bearing any restrictive legend referring to 1933 Act registration or exemption. 



 

	•	 	 Financial Risk. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and knowledge of Your business affairs and
financial condition as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Our investment, and have the ability to bear the economic risks of Our investment. 



 

	•	 	 Risk of No Registration. We understand that if You do not register with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act (the
“1934 Act”), or file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, or if a registration statement covering the securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when We desire to sell (i) the rights to purchase Applicable
Preferred Stock pursuant to this Warrant, or (ii) the Applicable Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, or (iii) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Applicable Preferred Stock, We may be required to
hold such securities for an indefinite period. We also understand that any sale of Our right to purchase Applicable Preferred Stock or Applicable Preferred Stock or Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Applicable Preferred Stock, which might
be made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule. 


  

	•	 	 Accredited Investor. We are an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of
Regulation D, as presently in effect. 



  
 7 









	•	 	 Market Stand-Off. In connection with Your IPO and upon request of You or the underwriters managing such offering of Your
securities, We agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, pledge or otherwise hypothecate or encumber, grant any option for the purchase of, enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, or otherwise
dispose of any of Your securities (other than any disposed of in the registration and those acquired by Us in the registration or thereafter in open market transactions) without the prior written consent of You or such managing underwriters, as the
case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such registration) as may be requested by You or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may
be requested by the underwriters at the time of Your IPO. You may impose stock-transfer instructions and may stamp each such certificate with a legend with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing
restriction until the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period. We agree to execute a market standoff agreement with said underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, We agree that
the 180-day period may be extended for up to such number of additional days as is deemed necessary by You or the managing underwriters to continue coverage by research analysts in accordance with NASD Rule 2711 or any successor rule.

Judicial Reference. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and The Parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather
than arbitration rules), The Parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM,
COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY YOU AGAINST US OR OUR ASSIGNEE OR BY US OR OUR ASSIGNEE AGAINST YOU. IN THE EVENT THAT THE FOREGOING JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS NOT ENFORCEABLE, ALL
CLAIMS, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS OF LAW OR FACT RELATING THERETO, SHALL, AT THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY PARTY, BE DETERMINED BY JUDICIAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (“REFERENCE”). THE PARTIES SHALL
SELECT A SINGLE NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE. IN THE EVENT THAT THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE, THE REFEREE SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE COURT. THE REFEREE SHALL REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION TO THE COURT.
NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY AT ANY TIME TO EXERCISE LAWFUL SELF-HELP REMEDIES, FORECLOSE AGAINST COLLATERAL OR OBTAIN PROVISIONAL REMEDIES. THE PARTIES SHALL BEAR THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE REFEREE EQUALLY UNLESS THE
REFEREE ORDERS OTHERWISE. THE REFEREE SHALL ALSO DETERMINE ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SECTION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CLAIMS WILL NOT BE ADJUDICATED BY A JURY. This waiver extends
to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than You and Us; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between You and Us; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, specific performance, or
any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Warrant. 
 Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 Notices.
Any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of (1) actual receipt or 3 days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by regular or airmail to Us or You
or (2) one day after it is sent by overnight mail via nationally recognized courier or (3) on the same day as sent via confirmed facsimile transmission, provided that the original is sent by personal delivery or mail by the sending party,

 Attention: Mark V. Roeder 
 Remedies. In the event of any default hereunder, the non-defaulting party may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including but not limited
to an action for damages as a result of any such default, and/or an action for specific performance for any default where such party will not have an adequate remedy at law and where damages will not be readily ascertainable. Each party expressly
acknowledges and agrees that there is no adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Warrant and that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, the injured party shall be entitled to specific performance of any or all provisions hereof or an
injunction prohibiting the other party from continuing to commit any such breach of this Agreement. 
 No Impairment of Rights. You will
not, by amendment of your Charter or through any other means, 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 actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect Our rights against impairment. 
 Survival. The
representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions of the Parties contained herein or made pursuant to this Warrant shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant. 
 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Warrant shall be
unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision. 
 Entire Agreement. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter
contained in it and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and undertakings of the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter. 
 Amendments. Any provision of this Warrant may only be amended by a written instrument signed by the Parties. 
 Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. You covenant to Us that, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to You of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to You, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, You will
make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate. 
 Rights as Stockholders. We shall not, as a party to this Warrant, be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Series B Preferred Stock or any of Your other securities which
may at any time be issuable upon the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon Us any of the rights of one of Your stockholders or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any
matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant is exercised and the shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided
herein. 
 Facsimile Signatures. This Warrant may be executed and delivered by facsimile and upon such delivery the facsimile signature
will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been delivered to the other party.
