 WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK 

 

			
	Corporation:	  	Evoke Pharma, Inc.
	Number of Shares:	  	25,000
	Class of Stock:	  	Series A Preferred
	Initial Exercise Price:	  	$1.50 per share
	Issue Date:	  	February 7, 2007
	Expiration Date:	  	February 7, 2014

 THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good
and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, SQUARE 1 BANK or its assignee (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”) of the corporation (the “Company”) at the initial exercise price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth
above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant. 
 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 or wire transfer of immediately
available funds 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 (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 regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. 
 1.4 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. 







 1.5 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, on
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. 
 1.6 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company. 
 1.6.1
“Acquisition.” For the purpose of this warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the
Company, or (b) any reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of the voting securities of the Company or any other transaction where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction. 
 1.6.2 Assumption of Warrant. If upon the
closing of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this warrant, then this warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the 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. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to
assume the obligations of this warrant. 
 1.6.3 Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor
entity does not assume the obligations of this warrant and Holder has not otherwise exercised this warrant in full, then this warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically converted pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall
participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company. 
 1.7
Increase in Underlying Number of Shares. If, on or before the Maturity Date listed in the Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”) entered into by the Company and the Holder on or about the same date as this warrant, the Borrower
requests and receives an Advance(s), the number of Shares subject to this warrant shall be increased to equal: (i) 25,000; plus (ii) the Additional Number of Shares listed in the row corresponding to the Aggregate Amount of Advances
made Under the Revolving Line prior to the Maturity Date in the table immediately below. 
  

					
	 Aggregate Amount of Advances Under the Revolving Line
	  	Additional Number of Shares	 
	 $0 - $499,999
	  	 	5,000	  
	 $500,000 - $999,999
	  	 	10,000	  
	 $1,000,000 - $1,499,999
	  	 	15,000	  
	 $1,500,000 - $1,999,999
	  	 	20,000	  
	 $2,000,000 or more
	  	 	25,000	  


  
 2. 









 Regardless of any adjustments to the number of shares subject to this warrant made pursuant to this Section,
all shares subject to this warrant shall of the same series and class and bearing the same rights, preferences, and privileges as the class of stock denoted in the above caption hereto. If not otherwise defined in this warrant, capitalized terms in
this Section shall have the same meaning as assigned to them in the LSA. The adjustment set forth in this Section 1.7 shall be in addition to any adjustments hereto made pursuant to Article 2 hereof. For avoidance of doubt, Holder shall be
entitled to the Number of Shares stated in the caption at the top of the first page of this warrant regardless of whether the Borrower requests and receives an Advance(s). 
 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, or 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. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of
the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. The 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 Warrant 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. 

  
 3. 









 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. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of
shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. 
 2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. In the event of
the issuance (a “Diluting Issuance”) by the Company after the Issue Date of securities at a price per share less than the Warrant Price, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall
be adjusted in accordance with those provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that apply to Diluting Issuances. 
 2.5 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. 
 2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon
exercise or conversion of this 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 this warrant, the Company shall eliminate such
fractional share interest by paying Holder amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

transferred setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and surrendering this warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder, if applicable). No surrender or reissuance shall be
required if the transfer is to an affiliate of Holder. The Company may refuse to transfer this warrant or the Shares to any person who directly competes with the Company (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s board of
