Issue Date: April 1^st, 2016

Term: See Section 5.1

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, [_________] (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase up to [______] ([____]) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), at the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1. VESTING.

1.1 This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder in accordance with Section 2 below and subject to the following condition:

1.1.1 For so long as the Holder is providing services to the Company , whether pursuant to the Consulting Agreement or otherwise (“Services”), the Shares (in each case as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant) shall become exercisable (“vest”) in accordance with the Vesting Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A.

ARTICLE 2. EXERCISE.

2.1 Method of Exercise. To the extent exercisable, this Warrant may be exercised by Holder by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 hereto to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the net exercise right set forth in Section 2.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check or wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased.

2.2 Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 2.1 for cash, Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant to the extent exercisable (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:

LOGO

Where


		X =		The number of Shares to be issued to Holder.
		Y =		The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).
		A =		The fair market value of one (1) Share (as determined pursuant to Section 2.3).
		B =		The Exercise Price.

2.3 Fair Market Value. If the Common Stock is traded in a public market, the fair market value of each Share shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or in the instance where the Warrant is exercised immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s initial public offering, the “price to public” per share price specified in the final prospectus relating to such offering). If the Common Stock is not traded in a public market, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.

2.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or net exercises this Warrant and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or net exercised and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

2.5 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 shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

2.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

(a) Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the stockholders of the Company of shares representing at least a majority of the Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting power.

(b) Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition, if the fair market value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 2.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised pursuant to Section 2.2 above as to all vested Shares, effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such Acquisition. In connection with such exercise pursuant to Section 2.2 above, Holder shall be deemed to have made each of the representations and warranties in the Notice of Exercise as the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise. In the event of an Acquisition where the fair market value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 2.3 above would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Acquisition, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition.

ARTICLE 3. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

3.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Combinations, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on the Shares payable in Common Stock or other securities, 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 occurred. If the Company subdivides the Shares by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares or takes any other action which increases the amount of stock into which the Shares are convertible, the number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Company 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.

3.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution, Etc. 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 net exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or net exercise 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. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder an amendment to this Warrant setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or net exercise of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or net exercise of this Warrant.

3.3 Merger or Consolidation. Upon any capital reorganization of the Company’s capital stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 3) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, then as a part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon the exercise or net exercise of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, to which that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger or consolidation.

3.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or net exercise 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 net exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder an amount in cash computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share (as determined pursuant to Section 2.3).

3.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing, and, at the Company’s expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer or other officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price.

ARTICLE 4. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

4.1 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time (a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon any of its stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend; (b) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of any of its stock; or (c) to consummate any Acquisition, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder: (1) at least three (3) 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) above; and (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (b) and (c) above at least three (3) 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).

Holder is purchasing the Shares for its own account for investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act.

subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is then available; (iii) in any event, the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least one (1) year and even then will not be available unless a public market then exists for the Common Stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and (iv) there is now no registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to any stock of the Company and the Company has no obligation or current intention to register the Shares under the Securities Act.
