THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, including the execution and delivery of that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of the date hereof to Master Loan and Security Agreement No. FORMX (the “Loan Amendment”) dated as of March 26, 2009 by and between Forma Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and ATEL VENTURES, INC., this Warrant is issued to ATEL VENTURES, INC., in its capacity as Trustee for its assignee affiliates identified in that certain Amendment and Restatement of Inter-Company Trust Agreement for Warrants and Direct Equity Investments dated as of January 1, 2007, as may be amended and restated from time to time, and deemed effective as of July 20, 2004, (“Holder”), by FORMA THERAPEUTICS HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).
1.ISSUANCE.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant and the duly executed subscription form annexed hereto asAppendix 1, at the office of the Company, 500 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA 02472, or such other office as the Company shall notify the Holder of in writing, to purchase from the Company up to shares of fully paid andnon-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Series B Preferred Shares (“Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price per Share of $1.20 (the “Exercise Price”). This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time until 5:00 PM, Pacific time, on the Expiration Date set forth above, and shall be void thereafter. Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires, the Exercise Price and the Shares are subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided.
2.EXERCISE.
(a)Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached asAppendix 1 hereto to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 2(b), Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased.
(b)Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 2(a), Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined as follows:
| X =Y(A-B) |
| A |
where: | X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder. | |
| Y = the number of Shares with respect to which this | ||
Warrant is being exercised. | ||
| A= the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to | ||
Section 2 (c) below) of one Share. | ||
| B = the Exercise Price. |
(c)Fair Market Value.
(i) If Common Shares are traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or over the counter market, the fair market value of one Share shall be the average closing price of a Common Share over the five day trading period immediately preceding the date of Holder’s Notice of Exercise to the Company (or such lesser number of trading days as the shares have been publicly traded). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Shares, the fair market value per share shall be the product of (i) the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering, and (ii) the number of Common Shares into which each Preferred Share is convertible at the time of exercise.
(ii) If Common Shares are not traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or over the counter market, the board of managers of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) shall determine the fair market value of a Common Share 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 by five percent (5%) or more, 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. The determination of any such investment banking firm shall be conclusive in any event.
- 2 -
(d)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 right to purchase the Shares not so acquired.
(e)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.
(f)Assumption on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.
(i) “Acquisition”. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, transfer, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any acquisition, reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities immediately prior to the transaction beneficially own less than 50.01% of the outstanding voting equity securities of the surviving or successor entity immediately following the transaction.
(ii)Assumption of Warrant. Upon the closing of any Acquisition, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities 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 Exercise Price shall be adjusted accordingly, and the Exercise Price and number and class of Shares shall continue to be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(iii)Company’s Agreement Upon Acquisition. Notwithstanding the understanding set forth in subsection (f) (ii) above, if, for any reason, the obligations of this Warrant are not assumed by the successor or surviving entity, the Company shall purchase this Warrant on the closing date of the Acquisition for cash in an amount per Warrant share equal to the greater of (i) five (5) times the Exercise Price, less the Exercise Price, or (ii) the excess (if any) of the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share over the Exercise Price. The Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share shall be determined as set forth in Section 2(c).
(g)Conversion or Redemption of Series B Preferred Shares. Should all of the Company’s Series B Preferred Shares be, or if outstanding would be, at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrant or any portion thereof, redeemed or converted into the Company’s Common Shares in accordance with the Company’s Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of December 30, 2011 by and among the Company and the equity holders party thereto (as such may further be amended from time to time, the “LLC Agreement”), then this Warrant shall become immediately exercisable prior to such event for that number of Common Shares that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Series B Preferred Shares received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to such event, and the Exercise Price shall immediately be adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Exercise Price of the maximum number of shares of Series B Preferred Shares for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such conversion or redemption, by (y) the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such conversion or redemption.

3.ADJUSTMENTS
(a)Share Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding Preferred Shares, payable in Common Shares or other Capital Securities (as defined in the LLC Agreement) of the Company, or subdivides the outstanding Preferred Shares into a greater amount of Preferred Shares, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of Capital Securities of the Company to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend, distribution or subdivision occurred. If the outstanding Preferred Shares are subdivided into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately increased.
(b)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 Capital Securities of the Company 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 Capital Securities of the Company 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. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new Capital Securities of the Company 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 Section 3 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of Capital Securities of the Company or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 3(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
(c)Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Common 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 shall be proportionately decreased.
(d)No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its LLC Agreement, 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 of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment.
- 4 -
(e)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 this Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying such fractional interest by the Fair Market Value (determined in accordance with Section 2(c) above) of one Share.
(f)Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, number of Shares or class of security for which this Warrant is exercisable, 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 Exercise Price, number of Shares class of security for which this Warrant is exercisable in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price, number of Shares and class of security.
